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.

And 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 main? 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 in response to?

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

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

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

fun. They're the liberal rednecks that makes some people People upset, but they got three big old dicks that you can suck. What's up? Here we are. Here we are indeed. On the virtual, the information super highway. You remember that? Remember that phrase?

Yeah, I do. That was like when the internet first came out and they were having to hard sell it. Yeah, it's a very, I feel like it's a very, very 90s phrase. Yeah. The information super highways. I wonder that one didn't stick. That, you know, we still got WWW dot, but, you know,

that's the worldwide web. They were very, like, grandiose terms. Right. Which I mean, dude, you know, the internet was a hell of a fucking thing. Concept, yeah, right. Web was a better. I'd say it justified that grandiosity. I agree, but web was a better metaphor than superhighway

because it's so sprawling. and information, that is not what a lot of people are getting. No, but like, I guess fake information is still information, I guess. It is funny to think about what the internet has become versus like, yeah, when it was first pitched, it was like, you can, all the facts are at your fingertips and you no longer have, like, you can just, it's like an encyclopedia that just has everything. And then like, now lizard reptilians are stealing our children and taking our facts. away. Yeah, I mean, I don't know how quick, like, I don't know when the first titty hit the internet versus...

Oh, like day three. Probably, right? Yeah. Like at least, but yeah, man, it's a... It wasn't the titties that did it. No. No, it's the thing you said. Well, it's also wild. I mean, I'm sure you guys saw this. We might have talked about it on here. I think we did. They made a bot to do Twitter and it became anti-submitter. medic and like eight hours. Yeah. That was so fun. I mean, obviously it's real fucked up, but it's also hilarious.

I don't know. Oh, it's absurd. Yeah. Yeah. It's a Twitter robot that learns based on Twitter's own tendencies or whatever. And within 24 hours,

it had become a Nazi and started hating jeers. And it's like, well, the internet, it sure is something else. I don't know how that worked exactly. I don't know if that, I figured,

I'm looking it up right now. Maybe like a 4chan situation where that bot got like, by trolls who thought that would be funny and understood how the algorithm worked and sort of or something because I mean you'd have to make a bot and put it on to not see Twitter you know what I mean there's a bunch of different versions of Twitter you craft your own Twitter you know yeah but that's part of what the bot did was make its own algorithm by responding to other people's algorithm because it was meant to mimic us you were correct my timeline It's cultivated based on my interests, but like its interests cultivated its timeline.

Yeah, so apparently it was kind of a little bit what you said about like the 4chan people like kind of spamming it and like informing its thing. But like the first one was after Twitter user Codeine crazy, which is a hilarious name, tweeted Jews did 9-11 to the account. the Twitter bot responded, okay, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, Jews did 9-11, which is, it's just so far, like, how quick the bot seemed to just give up, like, all right, okay, fine, Jews did not, whatever, Jews did 911. Been on the internet for four hours, I give up. So I've been trying to find the full quote, because what made me even think about this was information super highway.

I know for a fact that Jim Carrey uses that term in the cable guy. which is like, I've heard a Gumbull say it too. Which like that movie, this has been pointed out a million times by now, but like, and it hit for me even then, but like, yeah, the cable guy came out at the height of, the height of Jim Carrey's powers. Yeah. Yeah. He was the zaniest, you know, most box office gold motherfucker on planet Earth. He was, you know, the man of a thousand faces and all this stuff. And then the cable guy was this fucking weird, dark.

I was saying the cable guy came out at the height of Jim Carrey's powers in the mid-90s when he was the, you know, the zany box office gold man, right? Oh, yeah. But cable guy was really weird and dark and different and it largely didn't hit for people because it wasn't what they were expecting and wasn't marketed right or whatever. But that movie like really holds up and, uh, for sure, you know, like a cult classic now. So on that note, we said information super highway earlier. That made it pop into my head.

I know Jim Carrey says that. movie. So I started Googling, I found, and I thought that, him saying that was part of this quote, but I can't find that. Maybe it isn't, or maybe this is just a chunk of the quote, but remember towards the end, he goes on this big, like, like monologue about the possibilities of technology or whatever, but this is in 1996 when fucking Yahoo was barely shit. Right. You know what I mean? Pre-saw all that stuff. Everybody did not have the internet. Not even close. Most people didn't understand. it. Anyway, I found that quote, not even remembering it really, but I'm going to read it to you now.

He gets up there and says, the future is now. Soon every American home will integrate their television, phone, and computer. You'll be able to visit the Louvre on one channel and watch female mud wrestling on another. You can do your shopping at home or play Mortal Kombat with a friend in Vietnam. There's no end to the possibilities. So at that time, you couldn't do like none of that shit at all. And now it's like literally every single one of those things came to pass. Like I didn't remember that being that spot on, you know, until I just now looked it up and read it again. Because at the time, that sounded like gibberish. Like, yeah, literal frontier gibberish.

Like he may as well have been speaking in fucking tongues. And, uh, and yeah, that's crazy because I, you know that when they were writing it, They weren't sitting there going, okay, let's actually sit here and try to flesh out what we predict. They were just saying crazy shit. They were just like, what would hit for you? Okay, boom, say that. Yeah, that would hit. That'd be wild.

But now, like, yeah, I mean, not even, dude, within, that was 96, that movie. Yeah, within 10 years you could do all that shit. You know, that's fucking bananas. I disagree with both your assessments. I'm sorry. I think that when said that in 96, like a lot of people were, like, a lot of people were, like, yeah. Like I think in the cyberpunk and sci-fi world,

the artists have been predicting that since the 80s. And then as far as them sitting and writing it out, I also think I want to give the writers credit. I don't think they were saying crazy shit. I think that we had enough chat rooms at that point. AOL had been around just long enough that people were like, damn,

people really do want to watch women mud wrestle more than anything else. Well, that's fair. Yeah, and to be fair, they had also made similar predictions like this on the Simpsons years before, but either way, I'm just saying, you know, looking at that now, it's one thing, but I can just imagine in 96 here and all that, it was just, but boogoodoo-d-boog-d-boog-d-boag-d-d- you know, like, what the fuck are you talking? The reference point being mortal combat, you know,

I played the shit out of mortal combat when I was a kid, and it was wild at the time, but think about what mortal combat was when it first came out. You know what I mean? Like, the idea of playing that with somebody on the other side of the world would have definitely been wild as hell. You're like, I can only, you know, I play it with, I whip my sister's ass at because you've got the other controller. You know, how can I have that controller be of Vietnam? But I was just like, we literally brought up the term information superhighway. It made me think of that.

I typed it in expecting this to be very dated because I feel like that's a very dated term. And when I read it, I was like, oh, shit, that's not dated at all. That's like prophetic, in fact. And that's all I was trying to say. Well, I wasn't trying to say that me watching it wasn't blown away by that or that. time or like, I'm just, I was just saying that the, the authors probably had, I think they put thought into that because when you look at cyberpunk, they put a lot of thought into it and predicted a lot, you know, I mean, the short story that they allegedly stole the matrix from

was written in the early 90s, too, you know what I mean? And then the cyberpunk movement started in the 70s, and they were predicting the internet. But yeah, I was certainly as a kid, not like, yeah, I'll definitely be playing Mortal Kombat with somebody across the globe. That sounded very much in the 40 years from now, future, not before I stop playing video games. And, I mean, that that's been around for a while at this point. I'm just pointing out that, you know, we're coming up on 30 years for that, you know, before too long. For that movie? Jesus.

I mean, we're at 96, so we're four years away. Is the Internet making that stuff wilder, or is it just every generation can't believe this? Do you know what I'm saying? Probably. It's changing time, ain't it? I don't know. I mean, maybe it might be a little bit of both. Might be a little bit of both.

But I feel like it's probably just human nature to think like, holy shit, that, you know, that or not be. Like, you know, like to me, the year 2000s, like, oh, yeah, that's about 10 years ago. 10 years ago. 10 years ago, something like that. 1990, 10 years ago also. But it's, how do we like define eras usually by movements, artists, films, you know, that kind of thing? Music, yeah. It's making that.

those windows are getting shorter so it makes time seem different. Yeah, I think so too just because now we have used to what music was was what music they was playing on the radio and shit. Like that's what you had. But now we have access to everything

so there's even more nostalgia shit going on. So like all the yeah, all the generations seem like they're just kind of getting more blended, which I think it's cool. I think it's fucking awesome that like you know, the young kids now are listening to the music that I was

listened to as a kid. We did that a little bit, but we literally had to go on the oldie station, you know, that our parents were listening to. But now, like, TikTok and all this shit, like, everything kind of, I don't know, man, like, and the whole millennial shit, like, like, how nobody can really, nobody really fucking knows what a millennial is. And so many people were so wrong on that, like, they look at like a 12-year-old and they're like, oh, these millennials, and it's like, no, what are you talking about? That's,

No, we're old now. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, millennials are 40. I'm a, I'm a, yeah, but I mean we are right. But you almost have a 12 year old. Right, yeah, exactly. I'm a millennial with a fucking 10 year old and a foot that just stopped hitting out of nowhere the other day. You know what?

That literally my foot just said, you know what? I don't hit no more. Deal with it. And, you know, that ain't, that's not some fucking young whippersnapper shit right there. Okay, like we are. I had an idea for the name. No, it's not. comedy special that I think by the time I can use it, it'll be too late.

I won't want to use it. But I think millennial dad would be a great title for a comedy special. Yeah, for sure. I was a good joke probably. I was about to say it would definitely help solve this problem I'm talking about here, whereas like everybody, millennial is just the catch-all for young person that's tweeting on their phone. Well, we don't own houses. That's been my theory on it for a while.

It's like our general lack of owning houses has both changed our perception to other adults who own houses. and fucked us up. The reason we still are on the internet fighting over fashion and Tupac is because we don't have the same bills that our parents had or responsibilities or freedom. Like we need to feel something. I mean, I do think that people are starting to also talk shit about Gen Z. For sure.

They are. They talk about the kids and stuff. I see Gen Z. Finally. Yeah, thank God. A lot. Yeah. And sort of like kids these days fashion that we're talking about.

So you say that, Drew. and I agree with you, but do you know what is happening because of that too? Now we are getting made fun of the way that we made fun of fucking like Mark's generation. Like like millennials are their boomers right now and it really don't hit. So like, well, maybe I'm fine with it too. Yeah, it's whatever. But like I try to find that balance of like not giving a fuck, but also like, okay, don't give so less of a fuck that you genuinely do turn into that old person who just like is completely out of touch

with the reality don't give a fuck about kids you know like i don't want to do that i have similar motivation though because my motivation is that every single time i've heard an older person defend their generation this this is obvious for boomers but it's been really really really almost painful to watch gen x do it every time they defend their generation it's cringy to borrow a phrase from Gen Z. It's totally cringe. Toch cringe, yeah. Yeah, I think Toots is ours. I could be wrong. But it's like, you know, that's like, well, we then it's just like, who cares?

Oh, the 20 year old thinks you're out of touch? You by definition are or your friends with 20 year olds. Which do you want? I also, it's just like, dude, I remember once I was, see, I started stand up at 24. I couldn't have been more than a year and a half in when this happened. So I'm probably 25. I've been out of college for three years, right? And I get a gig hosting this big Greek week thing

at the University of Tennessee, right? So I go down there and it was a fucking nightmare, but I got paid $150 for three hours, three hours of coming on and offstage and like being seen and what I'm not three straight hours. And so it was nightmarish, but I was telling everybody I was like, dude, pretty sweet. I'd do it again.

And a heartbeat, you know, $150 for fucking standup or, shit. I was over the moon. But anyway, I'm 25. So I'm, and we're kind of older millennials, which means when we were 25, the kids in college, those also were millennials, right? There's three years, three, four years removed from me.

Dude, at that thing, I was treated like a narc cop, motherfucker. Like, they made it so they were calling me, sir. They were like, clearly afraid I was going to, like, I remember one of them, this was during the butt chugging era.

at UT and one of them had a box of wine with like a funnel on it for a joke and I literally just like pointed out and was like how yeah butt chugging and laughed or something and he was like he was like this isn't against any rules or anything like this is totally cool to have like yeah he looks like an RA and I was like what the fuck man and so all I'm saying is that shit is like immediate oh yeah it's quick oh it's quick man like you're only with them when you're literally right there with them and you become all an uncooling ship very, very quickly in my experience. So it's all just like all in the game.

Being a 30, like this is a tiny, tiny violin moment because in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't fucking matter. But like, as a comedian, I've felt just in that zone for so long, like being a, being a dude that's in his 30s doing comedy is a weird spot because what you just said is 100% true. And the fucking kids do not relate to you at all. and you were old and you're not fucking cool.

But also, anyone older than you thinks you don't know shit. And they're like, oh, wait, do you have grandkids and blah, blah, blah. So, like, you're just kind of, and you're on stage trying to talk, you know, and like the contention is like, hey, listen to me. I got some stuff to say. But like on both ends of the spectrum, people are going, no, you don't. We don't give a fuck. Like, you either don't know shit or you're fucking old and you really don't know shit because you don't know.

So it's a, yeah, it's a weird spot, but I will say, you know, I don't really, I guess, give too much of a fuck. Like, no, my nature. Because like you said, it is immediate. Like, those college kids feel the same way about 23-year-olds as they do about me at 34. You know what I mean? Yeah, I will say in the profession that we're in, it would be nice to have some clout in that world because you will. you know, spread quicker. You know what I'm saying?

The algorithm likes Gen Z and younger millennials. No doubt about that. And the things they like. Because they're on all the time and they, you know, share it with each other and blah, blah, blah. So I had a thing I wanted to talk about that's very related to the internet talk. Let's get into it right after this. All right.

All right. Hit it. So I got to bring up the war, but we don't have to get too serious. It's not necessarily political. It's just wild. The Ukraine war? Yeah. Ukraine has basically.

requested that all these internet companies cut ties with Russia. And it led to some, that's happened in some ways. Like Apple is trying to pull out. And I guess you can't get on the Apple app store there now, allegedly Netflix, etc. But they also requested that ICAN,

which is the de facto governing body of the internet, even though there's not a governing body of the internet, cut off Russia, which is a wild thing to try and process. I can start it out. as a government is the i c a n like i can i c a n i think okay it started out as some government body in america but became a non-governmental organization and basically it's just responsible for registering domains and the only real power they have is like if you're trying to do child porn

they'll pull your domain but other than that it's good of them it's just a database other than that it's like you own fart dot com i can't start fart dot com But they're trying to pull all Russian I can things as a way to wage war. But it's bringing up this really wild kind of international debate because a lot of people are like, if you do this, you are effectively turning Russia into North Korea as far as isolationism for its citizens. But we're doing it to them. Unlike North Korea, the dictators who run the country are doing it. And I think that's a compelling argument myself. like war and the reasons for the war aside i mean we're from the south we've got to have

some empathy for people being like look we ain't like the people leading us there's no i know i don't be cut off no i agree 100 percent i've actually had kind of a hard time uh processing a lot of these things such as what you're saying with like how often i have been like um you know when when shortly after Georgia turned blue, they also then passed some new abortion bullshit. And everyone was like, you shouldn't even drive through Georgia if you're going to Florida, fly.

Don't even drive on their roads. Don't even give their gas stations money. Blah, blah, blah. Oh, yes, Florida, the bastion of progressive liberalness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They do like abortions, though. They love them. Love them. They love them so much. But I was just like, but my whole thing was always just like,

and we've, I think, as a group of others, so we're like, that don't, like everyone, from here ain't that way. That's just our dipshit fucking governor. You ain't helping nothing. In fact, you're only fucking over the good people here by doing that. And so then I've had to really look at myself in the mirror during all this Russia shit, because I've been like,

man, the good people of Russia don't even like Vladimir Putin. This ain't them. You know what I'm saying? So, but then again, then I go, yeah, but sanctions and lifting sanctions and doing all this stuff is how you affect things on a global thing. And if you hit people in the pocket, but then I go, well, fuck!

That's what they're trying to do to Georgia, and I'm saying fuck that. So, like, I don't know, man, I'm being pretty hypocritical here, so I have no idea. I think for it, I think the internet's different than most economic sanctions.

Go ahead, Tray. Well, I was just going to say, I mean, I agree with everything both of y'all have said. I've thought about it, too, and feel the same way. I just feel like in this, like, very extreme situation, it's like they have to do, the rest of the world has to do something.

and like nobody wants full-blown World War III to happen. So what they're left with is economic sanctions, which will inevitably, in fact, affect regular people. And that does suck for those regular people. And I do have empathy for them, but it's like, I don't know. It's just an untenable situation. I feel like you've got to do something. I don't have a real good grasp on the, like, the Internet part of it.

I feel like if they got cut off from the rest of the Internet, they'll never see anything but Russian propaganda. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that Arnold Schwarzenegger message to them or whatever. Which hit? Yeah, it did hit. I was reading about that on Reddit and like on a Russian subreddit even where it was like, are Russian people actually seeing this?

And there were a lot of purported Russians in the comments saying like, yeah, people are seeing it. I don't know if that's true or not. But my point is if they were like cut off, then nope, they definitely wouldn't. Because you know who else is cut off? North Korea. Right. So, yeah. Yeah, that's what I was saying earlier, but North Korea did that to themselves.

For us to do it to a country, it also is going to start, this is what most of the internet commentators are pointing out, this will fracture the internet. Like, Russia will have to then do their own thing. They're a huge economy. They have the money. They have the infrastructure. They'll make their own version of this, right? Right. Well, then what's China going to do?

And then what's the EU? I don't know. And like, as that start, yeah. I don't know. No fucking clue. The point is like, we might be seeing the. end of the global internet as we know it obviously there will always be you know the internet and there will always be the globe but we might see a drastic change as sort of a byproduct of this

and that's that's crazy to think of culturally like every major event causes changes like we invented the refrigerator after war war two well we might be ruining the internet i know and i just got decent at the internet and now it's about to you know got changed the game all over don't know I'm getting any Russian fans. I was talking a little bit out of my butt with this, but I think China, especially and maybe Russia too, I already do versions of like, you can't just do any internet stuff you want over there,

especially in China. You have to have a VPN, which like people get, you know, those are accessible, but you have to have those to do a lot of, what does that stand for, a verified private network?

Is that what that is? I don't know, maybe. I know that it, like, it masks where you're getting on the internet from. How you gambling? and stuff.

You could be right, because you're in a place where it's illegal to gamble online. You need a VPN or like people use it for simple shit. Like I'd rather have the Australian version of Netflix because it hits harder for me. So you get a VPN that makes it look to the internet as though you are logging on from Australia. But if you're in China, you need one to make it look like you're getting onto the internet from not China because China like blocks huge chunks of the internet from their people already. And I think Russia probably does too. So like there's some like the whole North Korea thing. There's elements of that already going down in both of those places.

I think I still don't think we should make the move of like trying to cut the entire populace off from the rest of the internet for reasons already. My admittedly limited understanding though of this is that the difference there is you're talking about people taking measures on the web, you know, to censor. and we're talking about being on an entirely different web. Like quite literally kicking them off the web. They're like they just, it's like I don't really know what the dark web is, but I know it's a different internet. Well, imagine now that there's going to be like potentially

five major different internets. And so yes, China will try to censor certain websites, but imagine if they just realize, wait, we could just have, have our own internet period. And how are we going to navigate that?

And we will navigate it if it happens. And the world will move on, whether in a fair way or not, it won't be fair. It will not be fair. Yeah. But it is going to be huge in terms of a change that I think we won't notice at first. And then like in 20 years,

we'll be like, oh, well, look what happened because of that and that. And I think it's a bad move. I think you're disconnecting the world from each other. And I think that's a bad move. What do you think would happen if we did if we did something like the purge where like all the internet for one whole year there was no internet and then after a year we can come back? Do you think we would. Now obviously economic downfall aside because like so many businesses would be fucked over like there's we would be fucked over in a lot of ways. I guess I guess I'd be partending for a year or something.

I guess I guess. But you know, we're already talking about it. It's too be comedy. But anyway, go ahead. Yeah, no, there would be. but like, do you think that after a year the good would outweigh the bad? I guess what I'm trying to ask is, like, for all the bad that the Internet is, do you think the good outweighs the bad on the Internet for the most part?

I think you're asking if, I think that the base, the soul of that question is, are humans good or bad? Yeah, right. Today, I'll say it's a wash. I don't know. Yesterday, it might have been bad. Tomorrow it might be good. I think the soul of that question is you're asking about humans because

the internet is a tool that humans use. There's a lot of horrific things. I think it's been bad for us in a way that I can't counter that it's more addictive than other things we've done, so it keeps us locked in. I would say net good. If we did it for a year, I think it would be a net good,

but there would be some stories that come out where we're like, man, if we'd have been able to get this out and let people know, all them children might not have died and been raped first. Yeah, I mean, fair, because, like, you know, a lot of people, you know, you hear the older generation,

talk about like, oh yeah, the internet's ruin the world. See, back in my day, you didn't have all this, blah, blah, blah. And I've always been like, that's so stupid because, yes, you did. It's just nobody saw it. Like, like, you know, oh, yeah, there wasn't all this police brutality. Yes, motherfucker there was. There's nobody had a cell phone camera to film that shit. So, like, in that way, it's a good thing.

Police weren't beating black men in the 50s. Yeah. Then we had many cameras and suddenly. I'm telling you, there's people that literally spin themselves into that logic somehow. But like, I don't know. man, like it's so great that, you know, if we ever need to know a thing, we can just click on the internet and know it. But then at the same time, there's 10 other articles saying the complete opposite things

and some Alex Jones shit. So like, I don't fucking know, man. Like, it's a, like, you, right, Trey, you were just talking about being on a Russian subreddit? How gnarly does that shit get? I literally only found it by looking specifically for that video, wondering if, like, that had happened. I didn't poke around on there.

So maybe I orked. back and check it out. But I think that, I think it's mostly, it's, you know, the internet, we've talked about it a bunch, off mic, especially. The internet's like easily the most great and terrible thing. Yeah. You know, of the past, you know, maybe in all of human history, for all I know, I would, hard to argue. But it's, I mean, I think it's, I don't know, unstoppable at the very least like we just got to try to do our best with it basically i mean i'd like to think it's more good than bad but i mean i know you you can make the argument in either direction very easily with limited research wouldn't take long to back up either of those positions you know what i'm saying

because there's a million different reasons on both sides i suppose but yeah the internet wild without thinking enough about it without really thinking about the consequences my gut reaction is i would vote yes for a one-year purge. Yeah. I'm curious as much as anything else, realizing that my curiosity might lead to the downfall of certain businesses and stuff. But like, maybe we give them time to prepare. I don't know.

This is such an impossible hypothetical. But I want to know what would happen if we didn't have internet for a year. I very much want to know that. Yeah, I mean, I'm saying that as someone who like for at least the past three years has definitely made the majority of my money. exclusively on the internet, it would still be, it'd be interesting to see, you know, where we all just fucking came back after a year like, God, fucking damn, I read a lot of books. Yeah.

Or, you know, not. Yeah. I couldn't figure out how to farm, just 80 pounds lighter. Must have Uber eats. Just start throwing bricks out into the street. Please bring me pizza. We'll give money. Did I tell you all I was, speaking of eating, did I tell you all I was accidentally a pescatarian for a whole month?

It didn't even realize I did it. Like lately? Yeah, like a month or two ago, I didn't even realize that I'd done it, but I had eaten every meal that I had eaten that had protein was just straight up fish. But I didn't like decide to do that. I just, you know how I get. I just get on like benches. And literally every like during a week, I ate salmon twice a day, five days a week. and on the weekend

what? I just got reminded of something. Go ahead. Well, that was it. Like, I just like, I, I think that if I was ever like, I'm going to do pescatarian.

Anytime I want to put limits on myself, I fucking can't because it's like someone's trying to hold me down even though that them is me. But like I totally, like, for an entire month was pescatarian and was like, oh yeah, I could totally fucking do that. It was nice.

It felt really good. Well, you do go on benches. You couldn't do it if you decided. to do it though I probably could but speaking to your binges I so I upload bubble shop the podcast listen to bubble shop the podcast everywhere you find

well read including and not limited to Trey Crowder's YouTube page because I upload Bubbush up the podcast on your YouTube Trey I keep your YouTube in one of my browsers I think it's not Chrome Safari because I use Chrome so that way

I'm not ever accidentally on your YouTube doing the wrong thing right But I was on there. I knew I was on yours about to upload. And there was somebody commented while I was on there. So it like popped up. So I clicked on the comments. I would not advise that.

Well, I just happened to see some comments of I think well read. I don't think it was the Bubba. But we were informed, Trey, that if you and I really cared about Corey's drinking, that we would not bring it up so much on the podcast and his habits to make light of, it and turn it into fodder that you and i have been doing that so yeah it checks out that was so well hilarious that really cared about him Corey's been saying for years that all his problems are my fault so

you know that well i was about to defend you but well i was about to start defending you but now i don't want to but you've done this that's been the calling the the carrying proud liberal woman underscore seven she's she's been turned i don't know that's not well i i feel like if that was the recent episode. I feel like we were all just talking about our own drinking habits. Yeah. It can get brought up as specifically, Corey. And for a while there, we, Corey was like going on a journey that we were checking in on. Yeah. Very much with his,

you know, I agree, uh, whatever the word is. Permission or what, like he was in sense. Y'all've never done anything wrong. You've never, you've never done anything wrong. And here's why, is because I'm not a fucking alcoholic. There's a lot of people who, Not most, I won't say most people, but. That might be what she's saying. You know what? There's a lot of people who think. Also, I've decided it's a woman.

No clue. It's, but it's a woman. So there's, there are a lot of people I've found. It's not most people, but the vocal minority at least, who if you ever say anything such as, yeah, I think I'm going to cut down on boozing for a little bit, maybe go a month sober or something like that. They immediate, instead of thinking, oh, this person's just trying to lose a little bit. a little bit of weight or do some better stuff for their mental health. They go straight to this person has been shooting up in a ditch and he's really got

an issue here. And like that's not, that's not at all the case. I do like to booze. And it is a little harder for us to like slip back into old habits on the road. But it's not like I'm having to turn my chip back into fucking somebody. You know what I'm saying? I know that you are right, obviously, because I'm here for all of it too. But I understand people feeling that we are in.

the Doth protest too much category for all this is concerned because we do talk about it a lot. Well, it's a thing, you know. We talk about stuff that are things and that's a thing. No, I'm with you. But like saying, I kind of, I do kind of get it. You can, you, no, I do too, but I'm saying. You kind of get them thinking that he has a problem or you kind of get them thinking that you and I are the catalyst of that problem.

No, no, no, no, not that part. I just meant like anyone who thinks that any of us or all of us might have a problem. problem. I kind of understand because we do bring it up a lot. We have drinking problems. I don't know if it's alcoholism, but we have drinking problems. Yeah, for sure. That's a fact.

Yeah, for sure. But I'm saying, like, you can be someone who is like, oh, man, sometimes I go too hard, but not be a fucking, you know, alcoholic or drug addict or none of that stuff or whatever. But, like, my buddy Robbie over at unclebod.com, got an email from a lady who listens to our podcast and was begging him, begging him to intervene on my behalf because she's like, I know that Corey has talked about, you know, stopping drinking and stuff like that, but he also talks about, like, taking gummies and stuff.

And like, I'm not sure if he knows this, but like, that's a, you know, that's a gateway. And like, he's going to be high and he's going to start doing drugs again. He's going to start. And all Robbie said to her was, ma'am, it's not good for, I'm not talking about my friend's personal life with you right now. But then I was like, that's fucking crazy that like she's literally sitting there going like he's, he's eating gummies. He's going to go straight back to what?

Fucking hair, you know what I'm saying? We just, you know, when you go on the road, we talk about it many times when we're not on the road, it's the easiest thing in the world not to drink. So it's not like when we go back on the road, we don't just turn into alcoholics. It's just that the road is conducive to getting a little fucked up with your buddies. And you can get out of hand. But like, none of us have true issues. with alcohol. No,

I haven't had a drink since our last shows in Knoxville, like going on two weeks ago or whatever it was. And I haven't thought about it either, although now, you know, I'm going to go buy a six pack after this. Why not? Yeah,

I mean, I triggered you. I get it. Yeah. But, but yeah, no, it's not,

that's all very true for me. The road is a completely different story. When I'm not on it, I don't have any issues not drinking at all. And as I've said before, a lot of times nowadays, when I do drink, even on the road or whatever,

I'm like, it kind of don't even hit for me. Right. But I'll still do it, you know. But whatever. We call, we, what? I do it because I need to. I don't enjoy it. No, it's like a force of a habit thing.

No, I know. Bad habit that I have. It just makes it. No. It just makes everything easier. But like, but you, you got to admit, and Drew would admit this too. Like, we do not drink on the road the same as we fucking used to. No.

Like pre-panned. Like, even. Even if we do get a little bit out of hand, it's like, wow, this was like a very isolated incidents. Whereas like used to, bro, I mean, when we first started the tour, if we thought we were fucking rock stars, it's like our dreams have come true. Yeah. We're just, you know, that's what you do. We're fucking acting like an 80s hair metal band or some shit. Yeah.

And so, you know, you'll have that. You will have that. But now, yeah, like living one day. I'm saying living one day like we used to live two weeks consecutively is it blows my absolute fucking mind. I go, how on our, and the easiest answer of that is, well, when you started the tour, you were 28 years old and now you're 34. And those particular six years, like six years doesn't always matter much. I guess like the difference between, I don't know, 46 and 53 probably isn't the same as the difference between. 28 and 34.

That's a real, that's a wild, explorative chunk of your life. When you go from, I can still hang to like, buddy, I slept wrong last night. And because of that, I can't go to lunch with you today.

Well, I mentioned it earlier, but on that note, I, like, the other day, my foot, I've just,

I've got plantar fasciitis now. It seems apparently. It's a factious. Yeah, I haven't been to the doctor, of course, I don't fuck with all that. But like, based on the internet, this is like, it's very definitely the thing that I have.

It fits it to a T. And it's a pretty common ailment, but mostly in older people or runners, which I'm not, or the overweight. So, hey, lost 50 pounds, but still fat enough to have a broke ass foot that don't hit no more. And it's like one of those deals like that old Louie bit about how, like, you go to the doctor. Oh, my ankle don't work. What do I do? He's like, well, you just like sort of stretch it. How long do I got to do that?

Forever. Forever. That's just a thing you do now. Yeah. It's like that type of thing. thing with this. It's just going to be there. Now, the first, first, like, 36 hours, I was literally, I was like, I'm going to have to have a fucking hover round. I'm going to be one of those, like, I'm going to be one of those comics that sits on a stool the whole time. I was like,

I can't walk around. Like, I can't put fucking weight on my foot. It hurts. But it's, uh, after the first, like 36 hours for whatever reason, it's lessened a lot. Now it's just kind of a minor annoyance. I feel like it's going to be one of those on and off type things like flare-ups or whatever probably, which don't hit, but it could have been worse. But either way, it's like, you know, that's some getting older shit right there. I've told you this, I think only privately. So now I'm going to tell you publicly so that we can go through it in front of people.

But I have that. If you try to eat things that don't cause inflammation, if you figure out what those things are for you, it helps. immensely, like immensely. He loves inflammatory foods. Because when I eat inflammatory foods, it flares me up real bad. Like my foot hurts. Yeah, that ain't it.

Now, try something different. I'm just going to keep rubbing this frozen water bottle on the bottom of my foot. Roll with that. I won't get a hover around before I give up hamburgers. Yeah, for sure. Speaking of doctors, I got to go get, I got to get cancer dug out tomorrow. and I got to be there all day and awake. It looks better on your face.

Is that because of the first procedure thing? Yeah, because it healed is why. What you saw on my face was probably the scar from the first procedure, not really the cancer. But that's like I would have been knocked out, mostly because of the time. I don't think it's going to hurt. It's just like, I don't want to sit there all the day.

Pulling it out of your face and they're not going to knock you out. They just latican it because they don't go very deep. Yeah, but that's, yeah. Well, see, apparently the surgery I had on my eyes, which didn't take, of course, that I'll probably have to have again. He told me, he was like, we don't have to put you under for this. If you think you could take it. And I was like, you're going to cut into my eye, though. And he was like, yeah, but you won't feel it.

You know, whatever. And I told them, I was like, all right, okay, I guess I can handle that. But then they just knocked me out anyway, which I was grateful for. But, you know, I acquiesced to not. being unconscious but they still just did it anyway and i'm glad because i was like i don't know if i can sit there with someone right fucking operating on my eyeball while i'm awake i'll fucking clockwork orangeed out with a laser digging in there whatever the fuck like i'll freak the fuck out if they try to do that and it's not your eye but it is your face and i i mean dude yeah that don't that don't

hit i believe in that you ask them like can you please just not yeah please Yeah, it's a whole different thing. No, the surgery, it's like, it's like a policy thing. Yeah, right. I mean, like, they got a whole department. Because even if, like, even if you're healthy, there's always a chance that when you go under anesthesia, something could happen and you don't wake up. I bet somebody called out that day, Trey, for you. And then they just showed up and they're like, all right, knock him out.

You're here. When I've ever heard, like, there's a chance you won't wake up for this, that's a feature, not a bug. You know what I'm saying? Like, I won't know. I won't know. Like Kenny Rogers said it the best. The best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. You know what I'm saying?

So like, A, I don't have to be awake. Sam Quinn. Do what? He may have said it too. This is a guy I like who said it, but definitely later than. Everybody feels. Yeah, what's that song called? Is it airplane?

Airplane. Aeroplane. Aeroplane, yes, it's in that song. I didn't realize that he, that was an homage or he lifted it or whatever either. Anyway, it doesn't matter. That song hits. Go ahead. To me, not wake a.

up from anesthesia is everybody else's problem. Not mine. You know what I'm saying? Like that just seems like the best way to go and I would definitely always take that risk if it meant that I didn't have to be awake for X number of hours getting my

fucking face dug in. What I'm worried about is there like, it could take an hour. It could take eight. Uh-uh. What is it, dude? Can you listen to a podcast? You lay there for eight hours? What they do is they shave a layer of skin off.

right dig the cancer out go test it then they do it again go test it when they get a negative test they've gotten it all right right so they got to keep going that's crazy that they that's wild man and i believe them that it won't hurt because it didn't he he put lytocaine in it when he cut it for the biology it ain't the pain i mean i mean i you take it for granted that there won't be right it's not the pain that's gonna that's fucked up about that situation it's everything else about it yeah like without my phone without a book without a podcast. Like at the dentist,

I bet I want the internet not to go away for a year after fucking tomorrow because I'll be like, you need it to get through life. Yeah, because like when I go to the dentist, like they, you know, they numb your mouth or whatever.

It's not the fucking pain. It's the sound. It's the having to sit there and do that shit. And then like, then they'll be asking you questions, but if you answer, you're an asshole

because you're not supposed to be talking. Yeah. I, uh, section you need to swallow. You fucking physically. need to swallow your brain is going to set itself on fire. Let's take a quick break one more. Come right back.

Yeah. Sorry to get all fucking weird and mind-fucky and high person philosophical. This is the type of shit I can't think about when I get high anymore. Corey was talking about, you know, you might not wake up or whatever. I know I've talked about before on here, but it's been a long time. That whole idea with, and y'all's not you. Y'all have heard me bring this up while high a bunch. Yeah, yeah.

I love it, though. deal with teleportation where it's like is that really you that comes out the other side or is it just like a copy of you that has all your memories so it has no way of knowing it isn't actually you it's going to go you know through every other moment of its life believing that it was you because it woke up with all of your memories meanwhile you were vaporized you were prestige you were yeah prestige you were wiped out of existence on this side of the teleportation machine and never came back but no one has any way of knowing that that shit bugs me the fuck out but Some people take it a step further and say, like, we don't understand consciousness at all.

Anesthesiology, there are practices that they know work with putting people under, but they don't know one, none of them, understand how it really works. To this day, they just know that it works. So there are some people that postulate, maybe also stoners or scientists or both, I don't know, that, like, when you get your consciousness, like, obliterated, basically, for a procedure like that, right, that it's the same type. of thing that like you get brought back online or whatever but it's not you know that the first iteration of you didn't come back that this new iteration did has all the same sales and data and

memories and stuff so that you have no way of knowing but that the you that laid down there actually never did uh open their eyes again and this is like a new like a new you know version 2.0 of your consciousness or whatever when we manipulate it you know in that way. Not saying I believe that. I'm saying when I get high and start thinking about that stuff, it gets wild up here. Do those same people have any connected theories as it relates to drugs that will alter your consciousness so bad that you feel like you went offline, whether it's DMT or a high dose of mushrooms? Enough Xanax. I don't know.

Maybe. I don't know that part. Wouldn't surprise me. But I'm not sure. Because if your theory is that shutting this consciousness down to the point that you won't wake up while we cut. you is effectively killing that consciousness and then bringing it back online later and it's a different one. Right.

If that's something you believe, then you've got to believe some wild shit about I went and spoke to my seven-year-old self and he told me he forgave me. Like that's got to be, you know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, you know, to me it's like, I feel like the teleportation version of it makes complete sense to me for whatever reason. And then it's just like this is people taking it one step further like, well, if you think about it. Right. And then that, that again, really only when I'm high, am I like, damn, if you

think about it. Yeah. Here's my difference, though. With the teleportation, correct me if I'm wrong, the essential theory is the way that would work if it did is that you would be deatomized and then re-atomized in a different part of space. And the re-atomization process would create the same atoms in your brain to have those memories. But since you were dissolved over here, you're dead. Your soul is gone, I guess, as it were. And then we are. are re-atomizing you over here and that would bring that new that consciousness back it's new but it feels old because of the memories but what all they're doing with surgery is waiting for the anesthesia to wear off and then you come back online by yourself so to me the difference

is like you didn't obliterate the consciousness because it came back on its own time passed and you I don't really I don't really believe it again unless I said like I said unless I take too much of a gummy or whatever because I agree with you it feels different to me too it's just one of those things it's kind of wild to think about I've also seen people say that even with the teleportation version of it it's got a there's a ship of theseus thing going on there because it you do get deatomized and then re atomize and people point out it's like you know how many different like collections of atoms and sales and shit you have been over the course of your life like you don't it's not like you're born and you go through life with all those same atoms they're fucking

you've been through millions of iterations of your physical self that hasn't affected that at all. So like, why would this necessarily be any different? Which I feel like, you know, you still say it's like, oh, it feels pretty different to me. It's kind of like natural progress. You're doing that to yourself. But still, the thing I think about when high on the other side of that, there are some scientists and physicists and, you know, weird spiritual people who they don't really know

where consciousness lies. No, they don't. It is a relationship between those atoms you're talking about, which is why you can replace them. So some people are like, well, maybe it does go on forever. So, like, maybe you can't obliterate consciousness, period. I don't like that either. Because it exists kind of outside of the physical round.

But then you think, where the foot? How did it start? And that's a wild thing to think of. Yeah, glad I'm not right now. Yeah, it's like, is modern day Skinnered still Skinnered? You know what I'm saying? Because they've gone through. so many changes.

How many original members do you have to have? You know, like, I don't know. I do like to think. If you blew Skinner's fourth drummer, did you blow Skinnerd? Exactly. I like to think that there's a version, the version of me before my spinal surgery is dead and gone and at peace. That kind of hits for me.

He didn't want to be alive. Trust me. Yeah. Yeah. My first surgery was eight. not hitting for these commenters, Joe. They're already worried about you and you know this. And here you come with this shit.

You're going to upset. I said that guy didn't want to be. This present day Corey is great. It's so funny too. It just said it would hit for me to never wake up like eight minutes ago. But I think, dude, I think most people agree with me on that. Extra funny about that is this is how the other day on the episode where Trey talked about He had a physical element that will never go away.

And Drew talked about having cancer. Poor Corey said he was sad sometimes. And I can't stop thinking about it. They worry about you, Joe. I'm certain that if you mind the comments, which again, I would not suggest doing, there are plenty of people concerned about your cancer and maybe Trace's foot. Probably not my foot. No, but definitely Drew's cancer.

No, my cancer is too. I'm working on a joke about it, man. It's too survivable. Yeah, you got the, when the doctor says this is the best cancer you could get, I reply on my head only if you want to live. Yeah, right. But some people want attention, and I'm not going to get any of that, I can tell. Uh-uh. No, hell, but I don't want attention.

Please leave me. No, I was about to say. If you're listening right now and you don't DM me, I, because people are going to try to be sweet and they're going to be like, you know, my mom can't just tell me a horrible story. It's either going to scare me or make me feel sad. I think I would feel like, especially with certain people that I needed to say something, obviously with your close friends and family and whatnot. But I think I wouldn't even want people to know about it. I'm pretty sure because of what you're talking about right now.

Yeah, that might have been a mistake. I think at the time I thought that I was going to have to like cancel a bunch of stuff. Because I was like, we were on the podcast. I just found out. And it was like, hey, I got this weird cancer thing. And I think I'm going to have to go to surgery soon. And then it's like, it turns out it's just like, we're working on a Tuesday. You just come on out.

It's no big deal. You know what I mean? But you know what? If like I don't mind if people are like, good luck or we love you or whatever, I just don't want to like have to like have the cancer. Like, do you know what I mean? I guess I'm just not ready to accept that I'm a cancer person. Sure.

Yeah. No. I don't blame you at all. I would definitely feel the same way. I would not. It would be like, you know, you know, it's coming from. from a good place. So you, you know, you appreciate it, but you don't want to, you don't want to have to do that all the time.

You don't want to get into it all the time. I don't know, I don't know what I want. I want to not have cancer. Anyway. Hey. Yeah. So I had a question. I saw this thing.

This is very stupid, but I saw this thing going around the internet the other day. And me and my wife started having kind of argument on it. And I wanted to see where y'all fell on this. So pizza? Yes. Pizza, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, nachos. You got to get rid of one of them for the rest of your life. Hot dogs.

I think so, too. And hot dogs super hit for me. It hit. Right. I mean, those are the big four. Yeah. Yeah. But it's definitely.

It's not those. It's hot dogs. No. Okay. Then let's go with. Notchos, you know, is a de, you know, is a deep. constructed hot dog that hits more. So you include in that like every type of sausage, I'm probably going to have to get rid of

my beloved nachos, I think. Yeah, okay. So now sausage is too, there's too efficacious, too versatile, hits too hard. You can't have sauces with breakfast or you just can't eat a hot dog style of sauce. No, no, no. Well, I meant the, I meant, like, you expand that to include all sausage and all forms. Yeah, right. Nachos got to go.

Saucers. Because with nachos, you could just have a taco. Getting rid of, you know, a nice hot dog. Yeah, I love hot dogs. And I love a good hot dog, but I'd rather have hitting nachos than a hitting hot dog. All right, now we're in the second round. Dude, honestly, hamburgers are third for me. Notcho.

Word. Okay, so, all right. So we go hamburgers, pizza, nachos. You're tossing hamburgers? Because I like steak. It's so different. I know that it's so different. But I feel like if I needed a burger, I could get a steak.

I ain't getting rid of pizza. I just can't. No. Pizza's number one. I ate a whole pizza yesterday. Pizza is, I mean, it's definitely close between burgers and pizza, but like you said, I could be like, well, I'll just go get a steak or whatever. Pizza is probably the ultimate, because of all of those things that I just named,

of everything that I just named, pizza is the only one that if it's only the 20th best pizza you've ever had in your life, it's still going to be pretty pastful and great. A shitty hamburger sucks. A shitty hamburger sucks. A shitty pizza is still. still like, well, you know, I'm drunk, whatever, but like... Can we pause right here and just talk briefly about tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese with ketchup or barbecue sauce, nachos, salsa, and melted cheese?

The tomato sauce world mixed with cheese, it's the most undeniable combination, in my opinion. Yeah, we ain't got, we ain't got to get into all this, but we've had this, you know, but not debate, but this has been brought up over the years. in our relationship, but you can utterly miss me with that ketchup on a cheeseburger shit. I know that, but what about barbecue sauce or some kind of sauce? Yeah, barbecue sauce is fine. I mostly just want mayonnaise, maybe some Dijon mustard, you know, but yeah. Of the three, if you have three sauces on a hamburger, if you got ketchup, mustard,

and mayonnaise, and I've got to get rid of one. Even though I love ketchup, I would say, well, I definitely need the mayonnaise and the mustard more than I need the ketchup. Yeah, it's one of the few things that I'm like actually picky about unless I'm absolutely starving. If I get a burger from a fast food place or something and they accidentally put because I always ask for no ketchup. If they put ketchup on it, it's one of the few times where like I actually won't eat it unless I'm like starving and can't get something else. I'll like, I'll go back. You're in good company with that though for the record.

No, I know a lot of thing. And I don't want to be a, I'm not a fucking burger snobber. No, I know you're not. I'm actually like very. When it comes to burgers, so I'm not into those fucking craft burger places. But a lot of those places literally won't allow you to put ketchup on your burger, which is stupid. That's stupid. Yeah, that's stupid.

I'm not for that. I'm just using it as evidence that. Yeah, you're not for pretence for no reason. There's a lot of people. Yeah, pretense, exactly, because it is pretentious, but it's just, I'm just saying there's a lot of people who feel the same way about the ketchup on the burger thing. Also, I like American cheese on a burger. Yeah, it's better. Got it too.

Get the mail hits harder. This is my fault. I don't think we got Corey. Corey, which of the three would you get rid of? We narrowed it down. Trace said nachos and I said burgers. Oh,

definitely not. Definitely not. I was going to say nachos. I didn't think I had, but 100% nachos. And then now we're top two where it's like burgers and pizza and like I got to say pizza,

but only because like I said, I can get other variations of meat and it'd be fine. But that's hard though because, man, you know, a good fucking cheeseburger. Like when it's real, especially when I make the motherfucker,

almost nothing hits the spot better and I can make a burger way easier than I can make a whole pizza but like pizza is just one of those things that's been there for me you know my whole life it's you can get you order three of them and you got a party it's way easier to do that than to make a bunch of hamburgers for a bunch of motherfuckers like pizza is also like the most portable food like I can eat a slice of pizza while driving now I can eat a burger while going down the road too but I'm probably going to get some shit on me but a pizza just boom so yeah but to me it's hits in basically every iteration, meaning like cold pizza hits. Awesome.

It sits out for a while, not long enough to get dangerous, but it sits out for a while. That version of it still hits. When it gets conheated, it hits. Even if you reheat it cheaply in the microwave, that hits well enough. If you do it the right way in a fucking skillet or air fry. It hits harder. It's also easy to alter. It never doesn't hit.

Yeah, you can doctor them up. You get a mediocre pizza. You spend $7 in a little bit of time. You can make it flames. Dude, if you get, like, if somebody's got one of those, like, Totino's party pizzas and that's all that's going on, but you've got like a bottle of, you know, decent hot sauce. Look, glug, glug. I mean, you're fucking in business. Maybe you got a little bit extra Parmesan at the house.

You just grate that some bitch on there. Somewhat doctored up Totino's party pizzas were probably my number one jam in college. Me too. Yeah, like, I didn't go to college, but they were a dollar apiece at the time. I think they're a little more now. Fucking, thanks, Joe Biden. Joe Biden, a piece of shit. They were like a dollar apiece at the time, and we kept a fucking gang of them.

And yeah, you know, hot sauce or fucking cheese, whatever kind of cheese you had thrown on it. You know, extra pepperonies if we could afford it. Just shit like that, make them hit. Spread a little butter on the outside of the crust. I never tried that. You guys are fucking me up on nachos, oh, man. Fucking perfect chorizo. I love nachos.

Sour cream, guacamole that's fresh. I hope I never have to actually do this in real life. That would be a fucking nightmare. It's just easy to replace a burger, in my opinion, is all I'm saying. You get a nice steak, you know, whatever, like a salad with it. Well, I could go there with nachos, though, too, is where I can say, just give me all that on a taco. You know what I mean?

I know. I know, but I'm just saying, like, that's another thing. Again, bad nachos are horrible. You know, the two actually of the, we put hot dog last, but actually a hot dog kind of falls in that category too. Because a bad hot dog is still like, sometimes it can. can go so far bad that it hits really hard like them cheap red weanies you know what i mean sometimes them motherfuckers just like hit the spot you know them ballpark hot dogs are cheaper than hell but like

yeah i'm in but like bad nachos when like they're you know too much mush or like they've that or not or god forbid not enough mush i'd rather have too much mush than not enough mush but like hot dog and hot dog and pizza man like for the most part if you fuck them up you really had to put some effort into fucking that up. But hot dog has no ceiling for me. Like the best hot dog I ever had is a pretty good set of nachos. Fair. All right. Well, that hit Joe. I'm glad we did that.
