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

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

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

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

Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days, and 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 cue 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 they're the liberal red necks they like cornbread but sex they care way too much but don't give a fun.

They're the Neighbor of Rednecks That makes some people upset But they got three big old dicks That you can suck How many racial slurs On the list of racial slurs Do you think that you could just say

Without anyone Knowing that you were saying a racial slur Do you know what I'm saying? Are there any that are that Like crazy that you haven't heard of And also don't sound slurry Unless you knew the context Okay, so if we're, we're going to actually use some of this, then sure.

Yeah, starting now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so you're asking, because I had said, I saw a thing that said, look up, look up white slurs for white people. Google that. It'll be funny. I googled it. It ain't that funny to me.

Everything I'm finding is shit we've already heard before, peckerwood, honky, whatever. I was hoping that there would be like old-timey or antiquated slurs for white people, but I guess, like, you know, that may be racism against white people just. didn't even exist until like very recently. I mean, the thing is, like, it couldn't be recorded. Right. You know what I mean? Like everything.

Like, everything forever up until very recently. You used to have that joke about, you know, now dumb people can tweet. And, you know, part of the contention was that back in the day, if you're reading something, somebody said in 1800s, they had to fucking be somebody in order to, like, have it put down in paper. You know what I'm saying? There weren't just, like, random publications. So, like, yeah, back then who, the only. people who would have recorded the white racial slurs would have been white people.

So, all right. So Googling slurs for white people, which I thought would be funny, and that's very lighthearted and fucking whatever. Of course. We're white, fucking slurs for white people are funny, but that leads you to a Wikipedia page that's list of ethnic slurs by ethnicity.

And I just went straight to white Americans. And like I said, didn't find anything groundbreaking. We've heard them all before. They're not even we're talking about. But if you just scroll through this page, Anyway, there's some wild shit on here, some stuff that doesn't seem to make any sense. But it is not surprising, but it is really something else.

How many different slurs for different types of people are just descriptive word, very vaguely related to that ethnic group plus the N word. In word, yeah, yeah. Like, for example, under, I'm not going to just keep doing this. I know these are offensive. I'm just saying this is a wild thing to read through. under Native American, there's prairie inward. My God. And also timber inward.

And, uh, okay. So yeah, it's like just, you know, um, fucking white people just found one that really, you know, that just really scratch that racist for them. And they just kind of like how everything now. It's like the gut tape of racism. Yeah, yeah. Or like how now every scandal in politics is something gait. You know what I mean?

Right. Like it's, it's that. But like, let me ask you. this and you may not know. It shouldn't shock anybody. I've not like researched the N-word too much. Um, but it was because you just, you said that they called, oh my God. I'm sorry. I'm so under, you scroll it through this under Jews. It's just a link to calculator in words separate Wikipedia page. Oh my God.

Just like listen, we can't even get into all of us right now. You're going to need to go. You're going to need to divert to this other section of the If you want to cover all that. That's pretty much the internet for you. It was, my question was, because you said for Native Americans, they had prairie N-Words. I'm sure I know the answer to this, but like, was N-words originally for black people? Or was that already a thing that was said? And then they said, okay, and them too.

I also have, you know, not done very much academic study upon the, you know, etymology of the M word for whatever reason. But my impression has always been, yeah, that it originated specifically for black people. And then they just applied it to everybody else, you know, as needed, which they often need. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. It's had a need for it at multiple times. Well, as I was asking, though, on that list that you're currently reading, does one stand out to you that you think maybe you could scream in a room and no one think anything different?

You know what I mean? There's a bunch on here that like, I mean, you've never heard of them in your life. Also, I'm not even sure how to like pronounce some of them. Like I guess there's one for Scottish people, which clearly we can say all these. Yeah, that don't know. I know. But I'm saying it's like Chukter, tector, tecter, something.

It's T-E-U-C-H-T-E-R. It's like sort of like a lowland Scott's word originally to describe a Scottish Highlander. So this is Scott on Scott racism here. Nice. And it's just like a version of Hillbilly, but in their language, apparently. But then like under Slurrs for Germans. Did you know Hillbilly came from them? Well, I mean, I know that Hillbillies were like Scotch Irish descent mostly.

They are, but the word too. So I'm going to butcher this. but it's the hill part comes from the Scottish folks, even over there lived on a hill, which of course is why when they came over here, the Appalachian Mountains were so attractive to them, I guess. Well, that looks nice and familiar. All right.

A lot of coverage for shagging our sheep up in those hills. So there's that. So that's where hill comes from. But also, it's like people who were still loyal to the king back then or something. were called Billy Boys, and so they were Hillbillies. All right. Well, that's interesting. Yeah, I heard that the other day.

Now, I don't remember my source. I remember at the time thinking, oh, well, this is definitely true because Blank is saying it. But I don't remember, and I'm certain that I just butchered a little bit of that. But yeah, from what I've learned over the past couple weeks, hillbilly came from Scotland. Yeah, all right. Well, apparently also under Native American chug. is apparently a swear for them. I feel like almost nobody knows that.

I guess that originated in Canada, so that might be part of it. But I mean, you know, we literally scream Chug at frat parties over and over. Of course, there's, you know, often not any Indians there unless you count all the different white people put together at a Southern university.

They do have a stereotypical problem with alcohol. Do you think that was it? No, apparently it was just shortened from there's a, well, I mean, you know, I hear you, but they got, right. There's a, I guess there's a, a tribe of Alaskan native people up in around Canada called the Chugot or Chugot

Chagach I'm butchering all these words but anyway it's just a take off of that But no there's plenty of there's a whole lot of these That you definitely could yell in a bar And nobody would have any clue what the hell you're talking about See that's what people where we're from need to like That's what they need to do They need to yeah but dude if you're fucking

I know if you're an old boy Walking into a bar Just you know and you're screaming some stuff. Look, you know, there's got damn chee-chis in here. Right. People are going to be like, I don't know what he means. But it ain't good.

But it ain't good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I know it's some kind of racist. Yeah, okay, okay, that's fair. For the record, that is an actual one that's listed here. Chee-Chi? Can I guess? Oh, oh, oh, let me guess who.

Let me guess the ethnicity. You want to do that? Can we? We probably want to get out of this, I think. Probably. Yeah, you're right. I remind everybody, I opened this page to read the ones for white people only, but they, they were disappointing, and I just couldn't help to scroll around. It's a fine line, I think, between, like, I try to explain, like, I'm super interested in racism and things such as this.

It's deplorable, abhorrent. It is awful, but, like, it's still fascinating. You know what I'm saying? My point is, I would, like, I think when we're off mic, I would like to, I would like to play a quiz show where you told me a racial slur, and I tried to guess which fucking, I don't know, no fun. Yeah, I just don't, sure, I just don't see how that could ever work out.

Yeah, no, it wouldn't. Like, because you're either going to be right or you're going to be wrong. Yeah, and it might be racist how wrong I am. Yes, exactly. Yeah, yeah. Or racist. just how right I am. Like I'm like,

oh, boom, I know that one. Even if you don't go into it, it's going to be like your thought process. Yeah, yeah, right. There's only one way to think through.

To get there. What kind of slur would that be? Exactly. You know, it's like, you know, what do they say about them folks? Yeah.

Yeah. They're usually not too creative either. So I felt they'd be pretty easy. But okay, well, you know what? Let's stop talking about racist stuff. And we will be right back after this.

And we're back. Hey, Trey, I don't know if you know this, but this weekend we are going to be in at Off the Hook Comedy Club in Naples, Florida, December 11th and the 12th, December 11th being my birthday, by the way. You can grab those tickets at well-readcom, W-E-L-R-E-D Comedy.com, where you can also grab limited, very, very, very limited tickets are available for our Nashville homecoming shows. The Saturday shows, both sold out, which is super sweet.

because we're recording them shows to be shown later to hopefully the world. If your only day off is Saturday, you should go check. I think there's like a couple left for the way. Maybe like a hand.

Maybe like a hand. Yeah, it's like virtually sold up. And the first one is 100% sold out. But I don't want people, I don't want people hearing that and going, well, shit, I can't go then. Okay.

Okay. Okay. I didn't know that. Well, right on. Well, and Thursday for the record is also getting pretty damn close to sold out. Friday early is getting pretty damn close. Friday late.

definitely has a handful of tickets left. But go to well-readcomedy.com. I'm super pumped to be back in Nashville. I'm super pumped to record this special slash album. And I'm just shit, man. I'm just ready. I know, you know, I was about to say I'm ready for this year to be over with like it fucking matters.

That's one of my pet peeves is when people were like, we just got to get out of 2021 nowadays. Especially in this time, dude. Yeah, right. I keep kind of forgetting that it's not 2020. still. Like, everything like, 2020 sucks so bad and everybody knew it and everybody talked about it, but it kind of never really stopped.

Right. And so it's like, it's so wild. It's like, holy shit, 2021 almost is over. It has come and gone. Yeah, man. But it still feels like 2020 to me. In 2022, I have no hope will be any different at least. No, absolutely not.

But it's unbelievable because like 2021 is like it was a full calendar year of pandemic. You know what I mean? like that entire year is kind of like like that this year is kind of like barry bond's home run record like there's definitely going to be an asterisk by this by 20201 is like did that year fucking happen you know what I mean like I don't even I don't really know it doesn't really feel like it and uh and now I'm sitting here thinking like is 2022 going to be exactly the fucking same or is it like I will get halfway through it and come summer we're going to be all right I felt that way this year yeah absolutely I want to um I'm I'm

sorry for this, but I want to briefly revisit our previous debate because you'll never believe this. Did you click on the homophobic slurs portion? No, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about from last episode. Oh, oh, stuffing

versus... Yes, I never believe this. I've been thinking more about it since then. Yeah, and so I just want to clarify or just state for the record of... Publicly apologize, you mean? Part of... No, absolutely not. You know better than that. Part of... Part of the thing I was doing was all coming off the dome.

And I was saying for me personally, I got to differentiate between these two dishes. I'm acknowledging right now that that particular, like, argument is not something that most people do or have. If I found out in reading around, it's mostly just regional or geographic, people just, there's that dish. which started being cooked in the bird, but that dish, depending on where you're from, is called either stuffing or dressing. And there isn't really a distinction between the cornbread or the white bread variety. That's also mostly regional or whatever.

That's not related to the distinction in the terminology at all, which is part of what I was trying to say it should be. It isn't. But they both started getting cooked up the bird's ass, right? But in some places it was called dressing. in some places it was called stuffing. It was a regional thing. In a lot of, though, in most places now, most people, whether they call it stuffing or dressing,

they do not actually cook it in the bird anymore. Whatever. Is it sanitary reasons? Whatever they're, yeah, there's this whole thing on the internet about, is it actually safe to do that, food safe to do that or not? Some people still do, obviously. It means just stoop. What's the point?

I think that's where it got, yeah, right. So people just along the way just stopped cooking it in the bird, but, But still kept calling it and stuffing. If you were in a place where they called it stuffing, you just kept calling it stuffing, which I think is fine. I said last week that's fine. In those places, they don't even know that there is another option or whatever. I said last week that that's totally fine.

No problem. No, you didn't. You said if it don't come out of a bird's ass, then it ain't called stuffing. But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not what I said. Yes, right? No, no, I mean, say exactly what you just said again. you said if it wasn't cooked in the bird then it ain't stuffing that's what you said

yes but I didn't say that you can't call it stuffing I said you can call it whatever you want it just fucking ain't that that is what that is what I said I said you can call it whatever I said you can call it whatever fuck you want but it ain't that that's all I said and I even went as far as to say I don't give a fuck if you call it

you know whatever it is that you want and then you fucking did your thing where you didn't give a shit what I said all you did was you started talking you were waiting for me to get done Not this sort of crib from part of a bit that Drew has, but you sound like certain papals talking about transgender athletes right now. That's what you sound like. But you're like, well, they could say whatever they want.

They could call it whatever they want. But they ain't what that is. That's fair. That's pretty much the same argument. It's like, again, things evolve. like Drew was saying about hoe cakes, flapjacks and all this type of shit. It's like it gets named a thing for one reason.

And then when you find another way to do it because it's easier or more efficient or convenient or whatever, people don't go out of their way to rename it. And I don't think it's that fucking weird. It's not. I didn't ever say it was. But you're saying they should have, though. That's what you're saying.

I'm just saying, when they moved away from cooking it in the bird, they should have sat down and been like, well, we can't call it stuffing anymore. It hasn't been stuffed in the bird. No, it's fine because that's what you're... Look, I've got a problem with a lot of stuff, and this also kind of...

Like, for instance, but that's the brand name. Like, stovetop, it's called stovetop stuffing, so obviously that's what it is. Sure, but I'm not just talking about stovetop right now. Okay, what the fuck ever? But I've got a real problem with shit like this, and it comes from, there's a company, and we've gone back and forth before.

And they know who I am, and they know about this, and they're not happy with me for saying, it, but Old Smoky Moonshine has always been a thorn in my Paul, because old smoking, now Old Smoky Moonshine is the name of the company. I heard that word as like, me, ma'am, Paul, you know?

Yeah, a thorn in my paw. Yeah, that's hilarious. Athorn in my Paul. My Paul don't appreciate it. He wouldn't, for the record. Of course not. No, it would. Old Smoking Moonshine is the name of the company. So therefore, technically, yes, that is old smoking moonshine, but that product is

not moonshine. Because Monshine means illegally manufactured and distributed alcohol. So the second it's in a goddamn store and taxed, it is no longer fucking moonshine. So obviously, they're allowed to call it that. But I'm also allowed to say, but that ain't what the fuck that is. You can call it with it. So, yeah, okay, you're right. I'm hearing it.

I'm hearing it. I'm hearing it. The papal thing. But I'm fine with that. If the only way that I'm ever papal like, you know, and am spouting things that sound like. non-gender inclusive is with stuffing

and moonshine, I think I will have lived a pretty goddamn good progressive life. So, okay. All right. With moonshine, it's like, as I understand it, yeah, moonshine specifically, it means like illegal, like bootlegged liquor.

That's what it means. And stuffing means. The type of liquor that that moonshine was is like, that's like corn whiskey. And that's what it is be called old smoky's corn whiskey. But you call it moonshine because that's what it always was.

Right. But then, but then, well, no, I think it's a marketing and a branding thing. Of course. But they knew it would sell better.

If they're calling it moonshine, that's the only reason they called it that. But I don't disagree with your distinction there. But what I'm saying is the dish, like they had a dish that was shoved up a bird's ass. They called it stuff. And it really, it really hit for,

yes, I know I get that. But somewhere along the way, yeah, people realize they were like, you know, We don't have to shove it up the birds. Maybe some people got sick on the way or whatever. But they were like,

we can make this without doing that. And look, I did it and it still hits. And other people try it. Like, it does still hit. We can all do that now. It's fine.

It still hits. And then what are they going to do? They're still going to be like, have you tried the new way of doing stuffing? Because if you don't call it stuffing, nobody's even know what the fuck you're talking about. Can I tell you? That's clearly what actually happened here.

And I just don't have a problem with that. I don't have a problem either. I never had a problem. But you're invalidating it completely. Again, you're doing the pap all things. Can I tell you something? It's fine with me. It ain't natural or real.

Can I tell you? It's fine if that's what you want to be. If that's how you want to do it, whatever. Can I tell you and share a little trade secret with everybody? Who was it last week when we were arguing about this that brought up the pancake situation? Like, you don't cook them in a pan anymore, so why do you call them pancake? Was it you? Drew said that.

Okay. and I will never tell Drew this to his face, at that moment, I realized how wrong I was. But I was not about to concede, number one, to the argument, and especially not to fucking his ass. So I would like to say that at that moment,

I was like, oh, God, Corey, I realize what you're doing and it's wrong. But like, you know, I'm one for good radio. And so I kept on. And, but again, it's not like, yes, you can call it that. That's fine. But it technically ain't that.

and that is the last I will say about stuffing versus dressing. That is not the last thing I'll say about it, but... No, of course not. Some, and I don't even know enough about this to get this right when I'm about to say, but there's some cultures, I think even in this country or whatever, where, like, I think it's Italians where, like, gravy is like... It's sauce, marinara sauce. Yeah, mariner sauce is great, like meatballs and gravy or whatever.

Yeah, that's wild. I'm full about that. I'm for that. And I've also said before that noodles are but slippery biscuits. You've heard me. So spaghetti is biscuits and gravy. Slippery biscuits and gravy. Slippery biscuits and gravy.

With salt and balls. I'm for that. Here's the deal with Italians. They can rename shit whatever it is they want as long as they're doing it. That's so hard, dude. I mean, I'm certain that me and you have talked about it even on Mike before. But like, when it comes to like, when I think about like, all right, you know, I've got my, like, top. my like meals that I can't live without and

I've got like my favorites of this, this, this and that. But like, somebody really put a gun to my head and was like, look, for the rest of your life, you can only have one ethnicities food. Like that's it. And you can have all the shit from that they do. But you can only have that

and you are, and like, I don't know. It'd have to be Italy. I think it'd have to be Italian. I don't. I think I would go with Italian too, but I feel like maybe somebody who's more of a foodie than us who's more like actual actually educated

and culinary shit could maybe make a case for the French because as I understand it the French, a lot of shit they did and pioneered and stuff forms the basis for a whole bunch of other super hitting types of things. So like there may be things you don't even

recognize like originate with french food. Macaronia and cheese came from France and I just learned that. Well that just all the butter shit. Yeah. You know they put the fucking butter. It's real hard. They figured that out. I don't know how they got to be the ones to figure that out. I figured just whoever kept, they must have invented butter. Butter, right. Because whoever invented butter was the first person and go, God damn, this shit hits. Right. Because it's a denial. That was a

Frenchman because I feel like credit for it. Um, but it's funny because I hadn't even thought about it, but Italians are the most hardcore about this thing we were arguing about. Oh yeah. The naming of food items. It's like a stereotype with Italians. And if you get on like, mozzarella. It's mozzarella. Right. But also like, if you make a carbonara, right, and you put some garlic in it, which to me, garlic hits in fucking anything.

But it's not carbonara anymore. But if you put a carbunara and it's like, that's not the carbonara, you know, and you're like, and there's a famous, there's a clip online of an Italian chef on a morning show losing his mind.

Yeah. Because they go to put cream in a carbonar's and he's trying to physically restrain them from doing so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's just flipping out or whatever. And in the middle of it, he says something like, they're like,

well, if you did this, then it's just a carbiner with cream. And he's like, If my aunt had a way, she'd be a bicycle, but she's not a bicycle. He's just fucking freaking out about it. So they take it pretty seriously over there.

I bet most Italians would be with you on the stuffing debate. That's true. But see, I've always, the Italians doing it is funny to me, but I've always been a little annoyed, I guess, because I'm trash and have a trash palette or whatever. But I love food shit.

I fuck with food, subreddits, and recipe gifts and things like that. And you will find no more. more like, what's the quote, a hive of scum and villainy from Star Wars, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't, my brain's not. A more disgusting hive of scum and villainy, right?

You will not find on the internet than a fucking, the comment section of like recipe. Oh, dude, before you go on with this, please let me back you up by saying, I am, and everybody listening to this knows, the stuff that I post on the internet is oftentimes, more often than not, extremely polarizing, all right? I have, like, openly told senators that I wanted to put a bag over their head and fart in it.

You know what I mean? Like, I'm, I say some rough, rough stuff, but never have I been attacked more in my life than when I post any picture of food that I cooked. Even if I did it pretty fucking perfectly. Like there's people are savages. That's why I don't do it, man. Yeah, well, I just started, I just started stop looking at the comments, but yeah, you're right. I know how the internet be that way about food. And it's always annoyed me.

And especially when they get into like, somebody post a thing that looks well made, but they call it something. Yeah. Someone will be in there being like, you know, that's not an actual, whatever, right, and they do it all the time. And that's always, I think, now I fucking hate myself. And I think part of the whole stuffing thing triggered that part of my brain last week. I get it. I get it. and I'd like to apologize to just you, not to anybody else.

I saw on one of the food subredits I frequent that's arguably the most snobby, some like teenager. Will you send me these, by the way, because I'm not on the same food subredits as you are. Yeah, I'll send them to you later. I have a collection. But some like 14-year-old teenager posted a picture of the first meal they made by themselves. And as soon as I said, it looks at, I know what I know this one. Totally fine. You know, it's a 14-year-old making their first meal.

meal on their own. But as soon as I posted it, I was like, ooh, shouldn't have done that, buddy. It's like, there's going to be some encouragement in here, but there's also going to be a whole lot of people ripping this child to shreds. And there were. Like, people are in there. It's just like, you know, that's not a sear, right? Yeah.

You can get the Malliard reaction. You dip shit, you know, or whatever stuff like that. No paramilization at all. Pass. Is this what we're upboating now just because it's a 14-year-old? Whatever. Dude, it's unbelievable. Dude.

Dude, so you get the, I see, the opposite, though, is the thing that maybe makes me more mad. It's like, all those are like food snobs who like, at least seem to where, like, they actually know what they're talking about and they're wanting to shit on someone's poor execution. My,

the thing that maybe annoys me most is like, when you post pictures of food, you oftentimes will bring out dumbasses who clearly don't know shit about food or anything, because they just start throwing some papaw shit out there, like steaks and hamburgers, Like some people, if you, if you have a little bit of pink and a hamburger, these people will be like, oh my God, you just need to go to the hospital right now.

What is your, you post a picture of a rare steak. And of course, every other comment, like people aren't original. Every other comment is either, that thing's still moving. I think, I think you could save it if you took it to the vet. A competent vet could resuscitate that one. Yeah. Man, you just really slap that one on the ass and put it on the plate. But these people will just be like, you're like, you realize you're going to get salmon

right and I'm like you realize that your brain is still functioning under the guise of old standards of meat right like I know that when your grand your grandmother said all this stuff to you and back in the depression when they didn't have proper refrigeration and curing techniques that was probably fucking true but like you can definitely have a rare steak and it is totally fine and your hamburger can be medium rare and it's totally fine dude that chip persisted for a very long time in the south and obviously still still does with old people but I'm saying not even not with old people. Like,

there are definitely a whole lot of people who don't realize in the South that, like, you can have pork cooked medium. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, you don't have, pork does not have to be cooked well.

There's a shit lot of people who do not burn the shit out of it. Yeah. Who would freak out if you tried to serve them a nice, like, pork chop, you know, with a great sear and it's cooked perfectly medium or whatever on the inside, which is what's up. There's been so many people just turn that away because I think they're going

going to get fucking tricinosis or whatever, which really hasn't been a thing. in that way for like, I don't know, decades now, but yeah, people don't know. Hey, speaking of things people don't know, let's tell them about some more stuff, and let's take a break right now, and we'll be right back.

Go ahead. Thanks for all. Hey, thanks for, thanks for, thanks for rejoining us here on the Well Red podcast, talking about pork and how you can cook it. That just got real, I just got real old school radio there. Like, hey, yeah, we're back here.

We're talking about pork and the machinations within. Trey Crowder's with us. We're talking about a, medium sear. How do you like it? You think I could have done radio? Yeah. So, I don't know. You got other food stuff for me? You want to try to move on. I wanted to, well, I mean, I wanted to know what, like,

these pretentious little fucking subredits you were doing were. Oh, you want me to actually, like, list them? I thought you meant, like, later off my send them. I did. I did, but I kind of, I mean, look, man. Honestly, any, like, any somewhat active food subreddit is going to have some of that. But like, so our food, our food, porn, our gift recipes especially. I mean, any, any of those, really. There was a, there's like, there was a post that's like famous on Reddicks that went like,

viral years ago of some dude on our grilled cheese, the grilled cheese subreddit. I bet that's a hitting one. Losing his fucking mind. He wrote like a three page diatri. Can I guess what? Can I guess why? Yeah, go ahead. Was it because someone put bacon on it and he said it shouldn't be called a grilled cheese?

Yes. Do you know what that's supposed to be called, according to that guy? A grilled bacon sandwich with cheese? A melt. Ah, okay. Melt. Those are melts. And that was his whole thing was like, these are not grilled cheese.

So, okay. The record, I agree with him. All right. That's a bacon sandwich for cheese. It was not three pages long, but also, if there's anything hateful in the middle of this, I apologize because I I don't remember, but I'm just going to start reading it because I found it. This is posted on our grilled cheese seven years ago. The title says simply, you people make me sick.

And then the body of the post says, a grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese, bread with spread, parentheses, usually butter. This entire subreddit consists of melts. Almost every, quote, grilled cheese sandwich I see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this sub-subreddit is called grilled cheese is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts. I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich, that's a tuna melt.

That's totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious breadcrumbs with spinach? I don't know what the fuck you call that, but it ain't a grilled cheese. But it's not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager. I've eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you have in your entire life. I have one almost every day and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or a nice French bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your subreddit entitled melts because that's not a fucking grilled cheese. I'm not a religious man. I'm not a religious man, nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland, white, Midwestern male, I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and macaroni and cheese.

All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. yet again, it is utter blasphemy and rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after three years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of people's grilled cheeses all over Reddit and it's been driving me insane. The moment I saw this subreddit this morning, I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit because I know that this one exists now. You goddamn heretics. respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for what it is

or make a fucking melt and call that what it is a melt. Thank you. And that's it. Dude, I swear to God, if you had finished that and said, and by the way, Cho, you wrote that the last time you drank a bottle of whiskey, I would have fucking believed you. I've been like, my God, I'm glad I got my shit together. Yeah.

The top comment on it, it says, looks like OP is having, and then he does the putting on sunglasses thing, a meltdown. That was fucking tremendous. I don't know who that part, like, does that, when people are on Reddit,

I've known, like Reddit's such a wild thing because it's the only form. Now, you might come in here as soon as I say this and go, actually, that's not true at all, and that's just how you experience Reddit, maybe, but you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. It's like the only,

form of social media where like the person is not the important thing. Do you know what I'm saying? Like it's like there's no like oh you got to follow this person on Reddit. I know that maybe those people do exist but it's more like you follow subreddits. You don't fall like oh this guy's really awesome

on Reddit like I've popped off on Reddit before but not through any doing of my own. Like somebody put my shit on Reddit. Yeah, me too. So my point is is like I don't know who that fucking guy is. Like he's just a faceless man who did a thing that hits.

You know what I mean? Yeah, I agree with, for that reason, I've always thought it was a little weird. I mean, I do understand it, but I always thought it was a little weird that Reddit gets considered like social media. Right. It's not social.

It's a little, it is different because the anonymity makes a massive, user aggregated. As far as that's concerns. Yeah, right. I don't know what the other word, you know, I don't know what the proper terminology is for it.

Right. I don't want to get into the whole melt versus grilled cheese thing because I don't really know what I'm talking about. But when I think social media, I think the ones where, like, you're there on your name or at least like pictures of your stuff, whatever. And it's like they, you do have a name on there and people are interacting. Yeah, but it's like a screen name, which I mean, people can have Twitter handles and shit too. But I said all that to say this is like that. Again, that guy, that, that is what you just read to me is funnier than any tweet I've read in four years.

And that motherfucker there, like, maybe I'm a person that constantly thinks of like capitalizing. on artistic ideas for things and some people just have a good thing pop and live their own fucking life afterwards. But I need this guy to have like some sort of podcast or some sort of blog where he just constantly goes in and writes these cheese treatises. You know what I mean? Because that was fucking money. There have been people who became like Reddit famous,

like posters who have become Reddit famous. And some of them I think have like parlayed that into action. careers somehow. Like there was a guy that used to do like little shitty watercolor he was called. He'd do little like watercolor drawings of comments or posts and stuff. And I think he's like a full-time professional artist now or something like that.

So shit like that has happened. There's also been just like famous comment. There's the guy, I'm sure you've heard of the guy that did the, he would start a long elaborate comment that seems related to the topic at hand. And then at the end of it, he would just be like much like when mankind hurled

the Undertaker from the top of the cell. in 1998, dropping him 90 feet through an announcer's table or whatever. Yeah, that guy really hits for me. Right. And now it's a bunch of people. Like, that's just the thing that people do. Right. It becomes its own meme.

So they have shit like that, but usually you don't know the people's identity. If someone hits, people who shared my stuff on there before too, I feel like it's probably happened a million times and did not hit for Reddit, but a time or two it's hit for Reddit, but it's not like, it's, like you said, it's posted by someone else, not by me. Half the people in the comments have no idea who I am or more. So it's different. But if you're like famous, like celebrities and prominent people will have their very own dedicated subredits.

We do too, by the way. It's just nobody gives a shit about it. But like some redditors, if you hit hard enough at being a redditor, you might also have a dedicated subreddit. But as far as I'm aware, almost all of those are specifically nice young ladies who show their butthole on Reddit. So it's a very specific genre there. I love that part of Reddit too. the nice young ladies who show their buttholes. That's pretty sweet.

That's why I love Reddit so much because, like, I'm at a point on Twitter. Maybe you're here. I've, like, I've followed too many people. You know what I mean? I've followed way too many people. And not, not an insane amount, but to where my feed's kind of cluttered,

but I also have this thing where, like, every now and then I'll see someone that I'm following that I realize, like, I don't know why I followed them begin with and I'll, like, go unfollow them. Or I'll, usually I'll mute them because it's, like, if they're still, If they're following me, I won't unfollow them because I don't want, they might be someone who follows me and they know I follow them and they go click on my profile one day and they

they see that I'm not following them. And they're like, what the fuck? What did I do to this guy? And I don't want to make anybody feel that way. You know what I mean? I just don't. Like, if they say some rude shit, fuck them. But like, I just don't want to make anybody feel that way.

But I wish I could. I wish I wanted to make people feel that way because I'd love to get my fucking followers down to about like a hundred really good ones. And that's why I like read it. much and that you like you've been on the reddit game for years like constantly our private text thread has been filled you you're usually the guy man like you've always been the cornerstone you've been the you've been the foundation of our group chats because you come in with some hitting thing on reddit and i never really wanted to fuck with it and finally you got me to and

now it's it was like being able to start over on twitter and like exclusively make my social media if we're going to call it for the sake of i don't know any other way to do it i was able to control completely my social media experience. And now when I lay in bed at night, instead of scrolling and seeing nothing but fucking, can you believe Trump's not in prison? Fucking can you blah, blah, blah. It's nothing but food. Pictures of nice

ladies, buttholes. Mozart facts. You know? Those are three. That's all three. Yeah. No, I mean, I'm with you on that. But I think that, you know, I mean, it's like just I'm not, I don't ever, I'm a total, I'm a lurker. I don't ever post

or participate or comment or anything. I'm just there to look at cats and other hitting stuff, but I've been doing that for like 10 years now. So, yeah, I love it. I mean, you can do a lot of that shit on Twitter, right? I just don't ever fight around with it. Like, you can make categories and go to just that feed. You're like, this is my sports people.

You click on that and you only see theirs. You definitely can. And you can follow topics instead of following, like, people. Like, it's like, you know, sometimes it'll be suggested, like, you just, you just click football. And now basically anything that gets tweeted about football, you'll see. but like, I don't know, it doesn't necessarily always filter out the bullshit,

which is like, you know, with Reddit, I can just go on there and be like, what's the top of the day? You know what I mean? I'm not seeing any of the bullshit. Like, only stuff that got 50,000 upvotes or less, that's all I'm trying to fuck with before I go to bed. And at bedtime,

that's just a much better experience for me, which is why usually at about, you know, midnight, I'm sending you some insane World War two meme. That's because I'm now on Reddit. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's the best and worst place on the internet. It's why it's appropriately called the front page of the internet, because the internet is both

a cesspool and a nightmare and also, you know, amazing. Yeah, and if you can stay out of the comment sections, it's like, then it's like an okay place, but like however, if it's not something maybe political, if it's like the grilled cheese shit, often, as you just

literally proved, the comment section, is often the funniest goddam part. Yeah, I don't know where everybody else stands on this, but I feel like oftentimes YouTube comments are actually pretty goddamn solid. Yeah, unless it's your own shit. Well, yeah, I ain't talking about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, all right, you'll take a quick break.

Come right back. I'd love to. All right, we'll be right back after this. Okay, so if you ever heard, you're probably not going to know his name, even if you have heard of the guy, but have you ever heard of a man named Roy Sullivan show? Roy Sullivan. It sounds like a character in a...

Oh, no, no, no. That's not the kid from the departed. That's something else Sullivan. Not a fictional character. He's a real guy. I don't know if I know Roy Sullivan. When I tell you what he's known for, maybe you will have heard of him. Roy Sullivan was a United States Park Ranger in Shandandoah National Park in Virginia.

Okay. Between 1942 and 1977, Roy Sullivan was struck by lightning on seven different occasions and survived them all. For this reason, he gained the nickname's Human Lightning Conductor and Human Lightning Rod. He is recognized by Guinness World Records as the person struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being. You ever heard of this guy? I have heard of that person existing because it's always absolutely baffled me because and I'm certain that you're about to say what it is, but the statistical odds of that happening are like,

it's like the thing that we talked about that one time of like to fold in the paper and, no, it wasn't that. There was a, it was the, what was the grain of sand shit and the ocean? You told me about that one time? That was on our other show that we're working on. Oh, right, right. Yeah, yeah. It was just, it, a very, the amount of times you can shuffle a deck of cards

into unique combinations, that number. when you try to work through how big that number is, it's absolutely fucking insane. And so this is about to be one of them, right? Kind of. I mean, the odds are definitely wild as hell, and I don't think they know anything about it. I was just going to read you some of the like circumstance.

So it says... Oh, no, please. The odds, well, so on the odds, the odds of being struck by lightning over a period of 80 years have been roughly estimated as one in 10,000. I'm not going to lie to you. I thought it would have been more than that. I was about to say, like, that's insane.

It's kind of freaky. I don't like, I don't like them. No, like, I feel like I'm definitely going to get struck by lightning now because like, because like that's the odds for normal people. And I'm a person who on pretty days spends like an average of two and a half hours walk. Well, that's pretty day. That wouldn't be, I wouldn't be getting struck by lightning on a pretty day. But well, you've touched on an aspect of this.

Oh, no. That lightning can just happen? Well, no. If the lightning strikes were independent events, the probability of being hit seven times would be one and 10,000 to the seventh power, which is a number so big they put it into X1. 1.1 to the 10th, 1 to the 28th power, which is just some big ass number I can't even comprehend. But anyway, but it says these numbers do not quite apply to Sullivan, who by the nature of

his work and his physical location, was exposed to more storms than the average person. Virginia, where he lived, averages 35 to 45 thunderstorm days a year, most of which fall in June, July and August between 1959 and 2000, Lightning killed 58 people and injured at least 238 in Virginia yada yada yada most of those were males between 20 and 40 years old caught outdoors

but it annoyingly doesn't say what that makes his actual odds they may not be quite so astronomical but dude they're still pretty fucking astronomical yeah dude that's in time clearly there was something going on but so like I just want to read you a couple of these the first time he got struck by lightning was in April in 1942, he was hiding from a thunderstorm in a fire lookout tower. The tower was newly built and had no

lightning ride. It was hit seven or eight times. Inside the tower, fire was jumping all over the place, Sullivan said. He ran out and was struck a few feet away. So it's kind of like the lightning was trying to drive him out of the tower with fire so it can then strike him down, which is exactly what happened. he was hit again in July of 1969. Unusually, he was hit while in his truck driving on a mountain road. The metal body of a vehicle normally protects people from lightning strikes by acting as a Faraday cage, whatever that is. So this light is. Right, right, a Faraday cage, of course.

But I mean, I have always heard that if you're in a car. You're not supposed to get struck by light. But I thought it was because of the rubber tires also. That's what I always heard too. Maybe that's related to what a Faraday, Faraday. that cage is. I don't know, but anyway,

whatever. But it says, so this time, the lightning first hit a nearby tree and was deflected into the open window. My God. What's he got his window open for? But also just the fucking,

the moves that the lightning is putting on this guy. Yeah, it's crazy. Like, that strike knocked him unconscious and burned off his eyebrows and eyelashes and set his hair on fire. The uncontrolled truck kept moving. until it stopped on its own at the very edge of a cliff.

Jesus. Can't let him die. Can't let him get out of this. We've got to keep him around for more shenanigans, lightning shenanigans. In July 1970, he was struck while in his front yard. The lightning hit a nearby power transformer, and from there, jumped to his left shoulder, searing it. In 72, Sullivan was working inside a ranger station when he was struck again.

It set his hair on fire again. he had to use a wet towel in the bathroom to put his hair fire out. Although he was never, and this is what I wanted to ask you about, although he never was a fearful man, after the fourth strike, he began to believe that some force was trying to destroy him, and he acquired a fear of death. For months, whenever he was caught in a storm while driving his truck, he would pull over and lie down on the front seat until the storm passed.

He also began to believe that he would somehow, how attract lightning, even if he stood in a crowd of people and carried a can of water with him in case his hair got set on fire. This is my hair fire. I mean, I don't fucking blame this guy. For sure. After he decided that and started doing all that,

he got struck three more times. Right, right. And it's sort of a paradox a little bit because it's like, if you get struck by, I don't know how many times it would have taken me, but I'd definitely say like on the third one I would be going, okay, something's up. Definitely by the fourth, I would start to believe

there is a God and he hates me. But then I would be like, but then I would have to go, okay, but like he can't kill me. What kind of fucking God is he? You know what I'm saying? So there's a little bit of a situation there.

Wouldn't you think? Maybe he's just fucking with me. Yes, right. See, this is the main thing I want to talk. I definitely believe that. Yeah.

Wouldn't you think that he is like, of course he could kill you. Like he's hitting me with lightning, but choosing not to kill me. Yeah, because he's asshole. it's like it's like gods of a fair like calling over archangels and stuff but like you ain't gonna believe how this dude looks when his hair is on fire.

I bet. I bet you I can get him to carry a bucket of water, but I bet I bet I bet I can't. But yeah, yeah, like I totally like the whole like him being fearful, buddy, I fucking get like, I bet you he's a nervous wreck walking around because like when I was in fifth grade, I almost choked to death on a pack of instant ramen noodles. And to this day, I have a huge. huge, almost at times debilitating fear of choking to death. And that was just a one-time almost thing that was entirely my fault because I didn't, I was fucking watching Stick-Stickly or SpongeBob and got excited and sucked down my noodles

too much. But if I'd been, if I would never leave the goddamn house if I was this motherfucker on a rainy day. So I'm going to read you the last three real quick just because there's some, there's some funny phrasing in some of these, I think. In August, 1973, while he, again, he has already a thing. this point begun to carry the can of water with him in case his hair gets set on fire. A can? It says a can of water.

That's conductive, you fucking idiot. It says that. It might have been metal. It might not have been, you know. But anyway, in August, in August, 1973, while out on patrol in the park, Sullivan saw a storm cloud forming. Oh, right. You said he's a park ranger.

Right. So he is outside a lot. That helps his odds. Yes, right. He saw a storm cloud forming and drove away quickly, quickly. But the cloud, he later said, seemed to be following him. When he finally thought he had outrun it, he decided it was safe to leave his truck. Soon after, he was struck by lightning.

Sullivan claimed that he actually saw the bolt that hit him. The lightning moved down his left arm and left leg and knocked off his shoe. It then crossed over to his right leg just below the knee. Still conscious, Sullivan crawled to his truck and poured the can of water, which he always kept there, over his head, which was on fire. The next strike in June of 76 injured his ankle. It was reported that he saw a cloud, thought it was following him, tried to run away, but was struck anyway. His hair also caught fire. God damn, does he still have hair?

On Saturday morning, June 25, 1977, Sullivan was struck while fishing in a freshwater pool. The lightning hit the top of his head, set his hair on fire, traveled down and burnt his chest and stomach. Sullivan turned to his car when something unexpected occurred. a bear approached the pond and what was unexpected him not getting struck by lightning a bear approached the pond and tried to steal the trout from his fishing line Sullivan had the strength encouraged to strike the bear with a tree branch he claimed this was the 22nd time he had hit a bear with a stick shut the fuck up well you know it says in the Bible that the Lord do be sending bears to kill people and stuff that are bald that are bald.

And his hair had been stricken from him. He's trying to burn this guy's hair off so that the bear attacks will work. Work, right. But Sullivan's hair is too, you know, prodigious it sticks in there. And then as such, he's able to continuously fight the bears off. But I'm just saying through the judicious use of lightning bolts and bears, the Lord himself harried to this man for 40 fucking years or more until he died, which is pretty wild.

I don't believe in the Lord, but I'm just for the purpose of this story. I'm going with it because what the fuck, dude? Have you... Like, the fact that 22 bear fights is absolutely the footnote to your right, right, right, right. And it's like, it makes sense, like, obviously this guy's a park ranger. He's outside a lot, a lot of bears there.

Like, I get it. But, yeah, that's pretty fucking insane. But, like, what truly do you think is the fucking... Because, like, you know, you don't believe in God. I don't believe in God. so it can't be that. And at a certain point, coincidences have a fucking expiration day,

and I think maybe it's four to five times getting struck by fucking lightning. You know what I'm saying? So, like, have they did, and this was in the 70s when, like, they didn't like, you just couldn't know stuff. You just couldn't know things. Like, I feel like if this guy was around today,

they would be like, we got to check this dude's pH levels. Yes. You know what I mean? Like, clearly he's more conductive. He's got a lot of iron in his blood or something. very frustratingly in my opinion the Wikipedia page literally doesn't mention any of that at all

because I agree with you and I guess yeah he's an ex-man but in reverse even in the 70s people were still just going like well you know stuff happens that's a wild thing that happened no way we could ever figure that out so we'll just go on not knowing that Malini bit fucking there's blood all over the crime scene

gross anyways clean it up clean it up yes that's how we operated for most of our existence yeah just like well that's really wild anyway back to everything else we were doing you know right but i agree with you i cannot believe there was because i have to assume being a godless heathen that yeah like there had some kind of i don't know the fucking iron levels and his blood or yeah that's what i said yeah yeah some kind of genetic mutation or something that turned him into like a living lightning rod or something i mean It, you know, but it, and it's wild to me that everybody just rolled with it.

Or he don't hit for God. What are you going to do? That's Roy. Yeah. And, or again, he does hit for God, but only when his head is on fire. Right, right, right. He's God's fool or something like that. God's gesture, yeah.

And like, what's the second, so this guy's been struck by lightning seven times? Who's in second place? It don't, it don't have that on here either. Exactly, because there's not even like a, he kind of stands alone. Yeah, that's fucking crazy. Like, I'm sure. it was just that he just walked around with a lead pipe in his hand at all times.

He was just a fucking idiot like that, but that is fucking pretty bananas. What do you think it feels like to get struck by lightning? I bet it don't hit. No, I bet it don't hit. I was thinking that, but I wonder, you think you shit yourself? I bet you shit yourself.

I think that, I think it really depends on a lot of different factors. Like, obviously sometimes getting struck by lightning can pretty much just explode you. Yeah, right. Right. And then other times, I don't think it ever hits, but then other times you just get a sort of rad scar on your arm from it.

You get knocked out for a while or whatever. I don't know what makes the difference. I guess where it enters your body and where it goes out at and all that type of shit, I don't know. But yeah, I'm going on the record as saying I assume it does not hit. Yeah. Yeah, it's like being stabbed by God. Is it true also that lightning actually comes from the bottom up instead of the top down?

Is that true? I mean, I've definitely heard that too. I ain't a lightning doctor. I too am not a lightning doctor. But I've definitely, yes, I've heard that. Yeah, that it's like the charge happens up here, but the bolt like comes up. Like if you were to watch a slow mo of lightning, it would be going up to the sky and not down. Yeah.

I think it's a thing. It sort of makes sense, honestly. I'm just making all of this up. Well, me too. There's two different charge points, one on the cloud, one on the ground, and it just builds up high enough. And then it just, you know, and like it connects. the two with a fucking thunderbolt from the heavens or whatever. Did you know David Letterman was a weatherman?

I did, yeah, I knew that. I didn't know that. In Indianapolis, right? Yeah, I, maybe I had heard that because I feel like I'd heard, maybe I thought he was like a, you know what it is? I knew that he, I thought that he was just a newsman. And I think I heard he worked for a news station. I didn't hear the weatherman part.

I learned that for the first time last night. Pat Sejack and Oprah also have, I don't know that they, I don't know that they were weather people. They might have both been. They might have neither have been, but they had like local news beginnings. Both of them did. They were like local news station.

Pat Sajax's head makes me uncomfortable. He has, he's got a real bobblehead situation going on. You're talking about always or recently? Recently, because I mean, maybe when I was a kid, I didn't notice it because like Pat Sajax is one of them dudes

that's been around my whole life. You know, he's sort of a institution. For sure. And I saw I've just, you know, of course we watch Will of Fortune, big deal when I was a kid. I'm saying, hell, if it popped on and I didn't know where the remote was, I'd still watch it now. But like, maybe it's his, the thinning hair or maybe, I don't know, dude, but like, his fucking head. He looks like he's not of this earth. You know what I mean?

Like he's an alien shoved in our skin or something. Yeah, his skin does look a little like bunched up and stuff. I have to assume it's some combination. him getting old, right, doing shit to his face plus makeup, plus aging, plus all that stuff is just combined to just sort of make his head not hit. You know, you'll have that. You will have that. He's kind of crazy in the sense of like, so I know a little bit about the game show world just because I've written one before and I've seen the contracts of how it would play out if I hosted one and I learned a little bit about that in terms of how much you actually work per year on the game show because they film all them motherfuckers within a couple months. Yeah.

Or less. Or less. And that's why, like, people were like, God damn, how does Steve Harvey have time to do all this stuff and host family feud? And well, the answer is he's not always hosting family feud. You see him all year around, but he's not. He's only doing that a couple months of the year. That said, Pat Seijick ain't ever done nothing else that I know of.

Like, not one other goddamn thing. I never seen Pat Sejic host a special. I never seen Pat Sejic give a award to somebody. Like, that motherfucker is just the Will of Fortune guy, and that's it. Is that kind of crazy to you? Well, I was going to say that people used to, like I feel like now, but I don't know, they might have always, it might have always been a combination. I was going to say, I feel like now people that get game show hosting gigs have some sort of other notoriety where for years there were just people who were just emce. That's just what they did.

Right. Right. It's like I feel like Alex Trebek never, you know, once he was the Jeopardy guy. Right. He just kind of stayed the Jeopardy guy. Yeah, that's true. Now you get like Nick Cannon to point at the wall of double bags or whatever the fuck you're doing, you know, like. Yeah, that's right.

Right, you're right. But I don't know. They may have always had celebrity host at the site. You know, it may have always been a mixture. I don't know. But I think there's some people who are just like, they host. That's what they do. And if you get a free-mo hosting gig like that, you just roll with it.

I mean, you definitely don't have to do anything else. I looked this up, by the way, because I thought it was the case, but I didn't want to be wrong. I said both Pat Sejack and Oprah had like local news routes. Not only that, specifically in Nashville. Oh, nice. Both of them? Yes, both of them. I'm not saying at the same time.

know that they overlapped, but they both worked local news in Nashville specifically for a while before going on to do the other things they did. So anyway, do you think I'd have been good at the weather? Yeah, sure. Yeah. I feel like you would hit harder as the person they send out to cover the water skiing squirrel and stuff like that, like a monkey birthday party. Yeah, stuff like that. Like you would hit at that. I would hit doing that in the rain wearing one of those umbrella hats. Mm-hmm. That hit for you, right? It would hit for me.

Well, this has been a great episode of, oh, by the way, everybody, Drew wasn't here. He is in a, I assume he is in some sort of hostile being attacked by some lunatic on drugs. I don't know what he's doing. He's just kind of, he's been vagabond in his way up and down the coast. Across the country, yeah, he was like driving across the country for the holidays. days like from California to Tennessee and I think he's pretty much there now but I'm not sure we were in New Orleans this weekend so anyway I think he's just out meandering about somewhere trying to get where he's going yeah so uh you go to well read comedy dot com you see down there at the bottom
