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

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

Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low 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 any more, 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 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, 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 had a, I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, 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 that response to? What was that a reply gift for just when I did something stupid? Something fat 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 money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions or reach your financial goals faster with RocketMoney.

And we thank them for sponsoring this episode of the podcast. 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 upset. They got three big old dicks that you can see. Well, here we are. Hey, Trey. Hey, Drew. This is the well-read podcast, the show where three dudes talk about stuff. We've also got other podcasts. Drew has Into the Abisket with DJ, DJ Lewis. Tray has the weekly skews. And we also have putting on airs, me and Trey's new podcast. Y'all go check those out and leave us all five-star reviews. We sure would. appreciate you. Guys,

the season finale of Bubba shot the podcast this week. Oh, that's true. What song was it? Should have been a cowboy.

Ah, that's true. Fitting. Fitting in it. Boy, we should have been, Orton, we.

Hey, Deano. Not me. No, I think, on that note, for people, you know,

from last week, yeah, just last week, I guess, don't have the shades on. If we were in person and up close, you would still look at me and be like,

what the fuck is wrong with your eyes? they're not all the way back to 100% yet, but that makes me think all the time now. Like, I would have either been executed or just allowed to die for sure in pretty much any other era other than this one. Because, like, near-sightedness is one thing.

They had that back in cowboy days. There might have been some cowboys with glasses, but I doubt it, you know, pretty queer. So I don't know about that. But, like, the thing that I had, that I had to have surgery for it. They wouldn't have been able to do nothing for that. And it would have relegated me to being a leprous beggar on the street and nothing more for show.

So you don't have any confidence. I could have been some kind of actor. I was going to say some warlock type stuff maybe. Like, because I feel like they could be all fucked up. Like the fact I could be like blinded essentially and still wear a row and throw like chickens into a cauldron or whatever, like that type of thing maybe. I think you just could have been a play. right. Be a preacher. I wouldn't. And then just

like say that God struck you with this affliction in an attempt to challenge you and you will never forsake. That's the other flip side of it though, Corey. It's like I can't like yeah, Drew what you just said yeah, right. That might be a play possibly a play I could make in that scenario. But about what you said

Corey, the other thing I've always thought about that like in my head I got to just keep it analogous to the way I was, the situation I was born into in this timeline. Like I can't fairly or rightly change that when I go back into the past. Well, so I would have been a fucking turd, farming, peasant, whatever. I know, but you're still smart.

I wouldn't have been able to read. Yeah, right. There's almost no way I wouldn't be able to read. Let alone. Nobody could read back then, though. I know, that's what I'm saying. Especially the trash. But you're still, but you still, you know, know how comedy works and are a natural entertainer.

So I'm saying, like, you could have walked into a theater and tried to do something. Yeah, not a. I play right. Maybe. But I can't fart like you can. I mean, I can, but not. You don't learn to fart. No, I mean, actually, I fart.

You can sell wares. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Where am I going to get those wares? I get ripped off all the time. No. I know there weren't blind people back in the day, but. Yeah.

You are fat and dumb and poor already in this world, son. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Right. Yeah. He just means that nowadays we have more resources for a fat, a fat, poor, dumb person, I guess, to overcome. Whereas back then... Like letting them have books.

Would you feel the only reason that I overcame any of that? Because, dude, back... They used to let them have books, so I would have been fucked. Before, like, dude, the Romans, if there was someone who, I mean, it wasn't even blocked, you could have just, if you weren't fit to be in the army, they just chunked you off a cliff because they were like, you're not. Yeah. Yeah, whatever. I mean, the Romans did that too, I'm sure.

No, the Romans would adopt, like, they would let you keep. your culture. The Roman's whole thing was to come in with an army, and that army weren't all Roman. It was other people they had conquered in the past. And that would be like, hey, you can keep living exactly how you're living. You just got to give us like 20% of everything. And if you don't, we're going to murder all your children and women. Yeah, mafia style. Yeah. Wasn't that gang this con? He wrote like that too, didn't he? It was sort of like, you know, you can, if you just give up, then you can be, you know,

almost all right, but. Corey's mouth open. He's doing research. I was. You try anything, motherfucker, anything at all. We will go full gangascon on your ass. And they did that to most of the world, I reckon. Isn't it? I'm sure

if you're like an inscripted soldier and you don't hit, they're going to murder you or whatever. But when Rome came into a new place, they just wanted you money. They didn't care how you lived. Um, I wanted to say that I read this quote this week and it's apropos, but it's not as funny as the bit you were doing, Trey. But it, like, moved me. You know, it's hard for me to be moved.

I haven't been moved in a while. I'm sitting in the bed I woke up in right now. They asked Margaret Mead back in the day, who was at the time famous cultural anthropologist, what the first sign of civilization is. You know, when she's studying bones and artifacts and all that, is it a stone bowl? is it a knife? And she said when she sees that someone had a healed

femur bone because in order for back then to have a femur broken and it heal without you dying from it that means that you were among civilized people.

Right, because they had to take care of. Yeah. So they'd give you a year or two with your Dwayne eyes tray and then they'd throw you off a cliff. Man,

breaking your femur ain't it. Hell no. No. it at all. That's wild to think about people surviving it back then because like nowadays with all the stuff that we got breaking your femur is still like a boy, you better get that shit taken care of real quick and hope it didn't nick that artery or whatever the fuck. But like.

Yeah. So not to argue with Margaret B. I think it'd be more civilized to kill somebody if you don't have pain pills and they got a broken femur. I don't think it's just so much that like back then we would have been killed or whatever. I wouldn't have wanted to live. Like, hell no. Because like, I look at, I never meant to imply that.

No, no, no. I look at shows like, I look at shows like the walking dead. And, you know, it's like the entire show is obviously just a quest for survival. But every single day is a nightmare just trying to get to the next day. And I'm like, I think I would have lasted a little bit like being like, okay, well, like this will be over. If I can just make it through. But once I got to like, I don't know, year two, year three and I realized that the only reason that I'm surviving is so I can wake up and survive again.

I'd be like, I don't, this is no life. And it seems like back in the old days on the prairie, that's just what it was. It was like every day, we're just attempting to make it to another day. And I'm like, if that's all there is, then I don't want to make it to the next day. Fuck that. Just let me die. I feel like we've done a version of this convoy before, because I feel like I'm on the record, but like the 70s, I would do it.

I would go back to the 70s and a heartbeat. There would be things that would be harder, but there would be things that would be better, especially as a white man, I think. Yeah, for sure. But anything other than that, like, I'm sure there's some examples if you could be rich. Yeah, of course.

If you could experience very specific aspects of Roman culture or one of them being dynasty type situations, if you were in it, it'd be like, yeah, man. Right, right. That's why I said the thing earlier about, like, I feel like it's only fair that I keep it consistent with, like,

my station in life. You would have hit it. even less back then. I used to have a bit where I sort of touched on that a little bit where it's like, because I feel like a lot of people will watch shows like that. That's all you're seeing is the high society type. Right. And there's like a romantic quality to it.

And it's like, motherfucker, you wouldn't have been a, you'd have been a goddamn filth monger, fucking throwing cabbages around and shit, like covered in muck. Like, it would not have hit for all.

If you're like the son of an industry titan or something like that, you're like a trust fund kid or whatever, then you can watch all those shows. shows and be like, that hit to experience that because it's like, yeah, you would have been one of those people, presumably, and that would have hit for you. But for almost all of us, fuck every single thing about all that. Yeah, I mean, I really, I really romanticized the, like, I'm a big fan of the Roaring 20s just as far as like period pieces and stuff, like, you know, boardwalk empires, my shit, like that era, I just love it. But like, of course, when they,

when they're showing it to you, it's always, the rich people at the speakies, he's hanging out with the flappers. But, like, most of the country was suffering through a literal depression. And, like, yeah, to be rich in any time would be good. But I still feel like, though, being rich in the 1700s, I still wouldn't like that. Because there still wasn't electricity. Right. The other side of that, like, yeah, it would have hit way harder to be rich back then

than to be anything else. But I think it hits harder to just be just a regular person today. day than to be a rich person back then just because of all the fucking creature comforts and medicine shit. You know, antibiotics, dog, pretty big deal. Air conditioning, that's what's up. Like, I think, I just, I feel like if you could somehow make a 17th century baron, if you could somehow make him comprehend and compare my life and his life, which you couldn't

do. Yeah. He would think your life hit harder. It'd be beyond him. But if you could somehow make him. comprehend all of the differences in parallels and stuff, I think that they would choose to swap places with me if they had the opportunity to do so. I have a genuine question.

And I would. You're a lot of challenge to your theory. Your life now or like your life when you were working at O'Charlie's and motherfuckers were yelling at you because the Sprite wasn't right? I mean now. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying though? Like you still had the internet.

So many different versions of class in America. Like, and I'm sure we got people listening right now who get up at seven and go to work every day who are like, bro, you think not, you know, you think getting chlamydia would keep me from wanting to live with somebody feeding me grapes. Fuck that. Give me the chlamydia right now. I don't need antibiotics. I was, I was actually thinking about, uh, like Megan Markle the other day. And, uh, me and my sister were talking about this. And like, you know, they famously exited the royal life or whatever. And my sister was like, I just don't see how she could do. Like, why wouldn't she want to be a part of that lifestyle.

And I was like, okay, I'm not saying let's break out the world's tiniest violin for Megan Markle. However, the Royals and that whole lifestyle is like every single day is regimented. You've got to do all these insane things. Your whole life's on a schedule. You have zero freedom whatsoever. Yes, you get fancy dinners and stuff like that, but you also have to wear a suit to breakfast.

I said, Megan Markle's life before, she had seven seasons on suits. Like, her life was great. And to me, if like not taking somebody that's working a meal every day, but I swear to God, I would rather have Megan Markle's pre-royal life than her post-royal life. Like, I would rather have genuinely my life right now than to have the life of a royal because, like, I make a good living and I also do whatever the fuck I want. And I'm not saying woe is the royals, but like if you're already doing okay, like that bumping lifestyle to me don't seem fucking worth it.

So I was with you 100% on her life when she had seven seasons. I think, I assume that she had a certain amount of money more than us, even more than both of y'all who have more money than me. But that second part, you wouldn't trade your life now for a royal? No. I would.

I like my life. If the contract was forever, I would be like, no. But if it was like, would you just trade? Well, yeah, I'll give it two years. Oh, I mean,

And if I hate it, I'll be like, you know, fuck off. Okay. In that world, maybe. But like, I don't know, man. Like, I genuinely love my life and I do whatever I want. And it's not like I have millions of dollars, but like I also don't have like, what's the, uh, oh, she's got, um, uh, champagne taste on a Miller light budget or whatever. Like, I'm on the, I'm like the opposite.

Like the things that make me happy don't cost a shit ton of money. So like, I am really comfortable. And like, dude, I just couldn't stand to be like, well, you're like, I was reading an article one time where I think it was William, Prince William or something was like, to be a royalist to know what you're doing today, 10 years from now, you know what I mean?

Like you, at your whole scale, and I'm just like, that ain't, but like, that ain't it was born into it. Yeah, he don't have another.

If you switch places or you married a duchess right now, and I genuinely don't know the answer to this, how would they make you? Well, you, then you're just not in the family. No, they just like,

if you want to be a royal, this is it. otherwise you're just not in a goddamn family. Yeah, but that's what Merkel was like, nah. And they were like, all right, you got to leave. And she was like, okay. And then Spotify gave her $25 million. I'm having a shot.

I want to see the vaults. I want to know what's going on in the Vatican. I want to be a royal. Okay, I guess you're right. But in my scenario to make it more palatable, it's my life as it is, or I have to be that forever. That's what I'm saying. Like, none.

I understand how someone cleaning porta potty. for a living would want to do that. But I like my life and I like not wearing a suit to breakfast. But let me ask you, you may not know. They've since, they've left though, like you said, they're like disowned now or whatever. Yeah. But do they still have any access to any money? And I already said they got rich again either way.

But like, are they cut off from all of it completely? From what I've read, when they decided to leave the rural family, one of Harry's biggest surprises was like, oh, I didn't mean the money part, but like, yeah. Yeah. And I thought, I'm literally just talking about having watched the crown. The guy from back in the day, the queen's uncle that abdicated. Edward the 8th. Right.

Like, he still was loaded and everything, right? They, he walked away from it all, but he still, because all I'm, all I was going to say is, I feel like, if you can just quit, but they'll still, like, you've got like a fucking, you know, a line of credit or whatever, but you just. ain't involved with none of the rest of it. Like that seems like that would be pretty sweet because then you don't have to do all the bullshit, but you still got money and you ain't got to worry about nothing.

Well, his, but if that ain't how it works. His was a little, his was a little different because, hey, he was the king for a second. He never got coronated,

but he was the king for a second. And also, I think you remember in the crown, he literally like came to his brother and he was like, his brother's like, are you really going to do this to me? And he's like, yes,

I am. And he goes, well, then I don't want you in this country. And he said, okay, well, you'll have to pay me to leave. And so that was kind of his deal. But he also had to like take up some secondary incomes and whatnot, which they showed in the show like him having all these magazine people come there

and pay him for interviews. Because like the amount that some of the royals make per year just from their royal salary is surprisingly lit. I know that we're, it seems like we're doing an episode of fucking putting on airs here. But like Prince Andrew at one point before he got in with Epstein or whatever was only his royal income was $200,000 a year. Yeah, but he didn't have to pay for anything. That would just cash money.

Yeah, that... Sure, he had access to the royal jet and the royal stable of thoroughbred. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, that's true, but that's... The Royal Child Sex Island and all that shit. No, you're right, but that's... I was going to bring up property. No, yeah, you're right, but that still was a surprisingly, like, lower number than I thought, but, like, no, I'm pretty sure, again, unless I'm wrong, that, like, Harry kind of was

like, well, wait, wait, I didn't mean take my money. And they were like, look, if you're not us, then you don't get the money anymore, which like, dude, of course Megan Markle and Harry will never not be loaded just on who they are. However, didn't Spotify literally give them $25 million and they did one episode? Yes, yes,

it's true. That literally happened. But like, I I missed all of that, the Spotify thing completely. Yeah, I did too, but I just believe you. No, I saw a headline the other day. I didn't, you know, go read the article because I don't give a fuck about any of these people. But just contractually, that's wild.

I'll look it up. You guys, Corey, you got stuff to say about. We'll keep to, yeah, right after this, we'll talk about it. Yep. Hey, we're back, of course. You all know, the breaks aren't really breaks. So Drew is still looking. It's only been a couple of seconds since I said I give him a minute to look it up by taking a break.

Breaks ain't real. So he ain't found it yet. So I'm just a jibber jabber in right now. sort of cover the time. I have a different rich people subject that this is remind me of that I want to ask you all about whenever we can get to it. It was $30 million.

For one episode or something? What's the details? And they gave them $30 million for an exclusive deal with Spotify to make content for something called Archwell Audio, which is a nonprofit

that they, the couple, run. they were trying to build a show team and do it all themselves. Basically, Spotify gave them the money and was like, let us know what you got. But apparently instead of like asking for the money back, Spotify is now, quote, taking it into their own hands. So now instead of the prince or the queen telling her how to live, she has Spotify telling her where she's going to be and what she's going to do.

I guess that is a little more palatable though because it's like this is a job. At least it's a job. All Spotify wanted out of it was one podcast featuring them. That was the idea. I don't know. You mean one podcast or one podcast episode? What are you asking? Surely it can't be one episode for 30 million.

It's not one episode. One episode is what they came up with on their own for the whole year. And so Spotify is now saying, instead of give us the money back, they're saying, we are producing this for you. Yeah. You have a $30 million budget. We're going to use some of that money, you know. Yeah.

It's funny. Spotify's like, turns out these people don't know how to work. Yeah. I know, too. that they were trying to start like a, they're now trying to start a production company because they had pitched a show to Netflix. And they,

and Netflix ended up not going with it. And when I heard that, I was like, God damn, what chance do I have? Like, if the fucking former Duke and Duchess of Sussex or whatever, pitch you a show and Netflix is like,

ah, we're not really buying it. Like, why the fuck would they ever want some shit from me? The Obama's had a production company too, and they're definitely getting stuff on, air more than most production companies were, but I'm pretty sure at least a couple of their things have been passed on.

Yeah, you know. I mean, that's just crazy to hear and let everybody know, like, how insane that process truly is, because you feel like Obama could just be like, he's not pitching stuff.

He's just going there and going, oh, this is what I'd like to do. Turn on the camera. Isn't Malia a writer for Atlanta? Something like that. I don't know, if she is, she's doing a good job.

It's something like that, yeah. She's like a TV writer of some kind somewhere, I think. but what this conversation somehow made me think of was talking about or I was thinking about like rich people in the world of entertainment in particular and they got former athletes but also like stars and stuff people that hit a real good lick or multiple real good licks make a whole lot of money but but then keep doing stuff yeah and sometimes you see people doing stuff and it's like

well you know they had a real bad divorce and played ponies too much or whatever whatever else, you know, Nicholas Cudgey, like, blew it all on haunted tombs and dinosaur bones, you know, whatever. Like, shit like that happens. Like, ESPN 30 for 30 broke, like that type of thing. Oh, that's brutal, man. They have to keep working, but there's also a lot of them who don't, you know, or it's still loaded, but also, like, still work all the time.

Yeah, they like it. I just wonder what y'all think about that. I've definitely started thinking about it different, the older I get and the more into, like, this business I get, because when I was a kid, that was infathomable to me. But my only experience with work was like having to work at the gas station, hauling hay, working at work in retail that sucks. So anytime I heard someone that just like chose to work,

like they didn't have to do anything, but they chose to do it. I was just like, what the, what are you talking about? But then I like, I understand that like some people like what they do. Like if you're like a sport, like a football player, like Troy Aikman, we don't need no goddamn money.

You know what I mean? A lot of those guys are the main examples in my head of this thing. Most people do like more money, and also he loves the game of football. Like Troy Aitman talking football is what he would be doing for free anyways. And I think, like, I always think in terms of like if we had a show that went nine seasons and got syndicated, because like that right, if you have a show that gets syndicated, like, Ray Romano don't have to do shit the rest of his life. But like, I still would want to do things in.

I would just be real. cheesy, you know, like, like I don't have, I would do too. I would only do things that super hit for me the idea of doing nothing else. And if I got to a point where I had lost the opportunity to do any of those things, like things that did don't want me. Then at that point, I'll just, you know, I'll just go out, you know, to my lake house or whatever, and then I'll just chill. Yeah, I think a lot of retired people, especially, you know, if they retire a little young,

they do get real depressed. I mean, that's why they end up going on cruises so much. And a lot of them, it's why they end up going. the rich retire people end up living in communities retirement communities they don't need to they just are they're bored they're lonely so i think people especially creative people want to you know do their old job and when it gets taken from you yeah i think you come up with other stuff to do i don't think you i think you'd chill at the lakehouse for maybe a year and then you would consider washing your mouth out with a shotgun And then you'd have to come up with, you know, a new way to just have a schedule,

have some stuff to do. And I'm sure it would take different people different amounts of time. It takes me like two weeks at home and I want to kill myself. Yeah. Like I need something to do. When I was younger, I thought I would travel. As I get older, though, even that, it's like I kind of want to travel for two weeks out of the year now.

Yeah, right. And that's it. Also, like the CEOs and stuff. And I know they're megalomaniacs. And that's the answer there, right? All they care about is the money. Well, it's more, too. There's never enough for people like that.

And that's the only answer you need for them. But for example, that Tom from Myspace, that guy sold Myspace when it still hit for an insane amount of money. And then he just fucked off and has traveled the world. And apparently he takes pictures. He's like a photographer, but not really, not a professional. He just goes to really pretty places and takes pictures and post them on Instagram. And that's all he's done ever since. And it's like, in my head, it's like, dad.

is what's like that makes sense to me no I like you know he's trying to get better he's like doing stuff he's like even though it's not for a job it's like there's something for him to do during the day dude I seriously think I would farm I think farming if it's not like and your hunger is reliant upon it would actually be interesting yeah I like gardening a lot I think I think that you know I would fuck Andy in the garden it would hit I would do all that stuff too for the record because I'd have the time to do it, but I know me, like I would still, even it, like you said, we're talking about the hypothetical situation where you've made one good lick and you don't need anything, but also Hollywood has decided they were done with even your passion project stuff.

I think I'd just be making a lot of stuff on my own. Like, I would just be like, like, because I like doing it. Like, I would still, like my need to create and also express myself, it's not like money has ever solved that or taken care of it. If I garden, I would then have, I know me, I would hire a little crew and I'd have a at home gardening YouTube show or I'd have, I'd do a podcast. I think, I think I would constantly be working on things that I always want to do and just putting them out myself. Yeah, the need for validation is not going to go. No, sure. Never. I'm saying like, if it was money, you'd be in a different business that was going to have for sure.

I think also though related to that as I get older learning new stuff don't hit for me it does for a minute or two but like it's harder your brain and there's like some some psychology and biology behind that your brain's not as spongy it's harder to learn new stuff so like I wouldn't want to sit at home and not do anything so yeah I mean honestly I would travel the world and do stand up like if I if if we got to a point where we hit enough that that's where we were at I would be famous enough to just like go to London, not tell anyone, and then like, be like, hey, remember that dumb TV show I had? I'd like to do 10 tonight.

Right. And just, and then, yeah, I'd probably post it for the validation if it went well and then pretend like I didn't do it if I had bombed. Well, yeah. I mean, like, if I had literally all the time in the world, like, I could see me for the first two or three years spending, like, an insane amount of time researching and doing like some deep dive podcast on like the Marvel cinematic universe like something I don't have at all time for now nor would nobody pay me for it

but like I do I'm the opposite though and I think it's because I fucked off in middle school and high school and I didn't go to college I my desire to learn has never been higher but I feel like it's because I'm trying to catch up to where everybody else already is now that they've given up. You know what I'm saying? I do know what you're saying because I feel like when we were on tour the first few years and it's just

now starting to kind of wind down as Andy and I are like preparing to have kids although in some ways it's ratcheting up because I know that's the end of it. I was such a fucking go-getter in my 20s. I was such a fucking terrified of ending up in my hometown. I'm going to go to law school

chip on my shoulder. Then I became a lawyer and I'm going to be the best trial lawyer. I tried to catch up on partying. Like I started doing drugs in my 30s. I started, so like, I do get what you mean, just kind of in reverse. Yeah, right. You're doing the, I guess, what a lot of people do. Like, you put into work all those years and now you're like, oh, I don't have to do that

anymore. And I, in my opinion, never been more of a good. Because I, dude, in my 20s, I thought I was such a go-getter and comedy. But just getting fucked up and doing shows. isn't a go get. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, like,

just, like, just like, like, in my opinion, I mean, a whole lot of comics feel that it did, you know,

believed that it did. No, I know. Especially young comics, you know, like, yeah, definitely think that that is,

you know, really grind in what you, and it's, I mean, getting fucked up and going shows. I'm not, I'm not saying that's not part of it.

Of course, like, you've got to do a lot of shows and stuff. But like, I remember, like, being like, 10 years in and just

could not understand why I wasn't further along because I had done all these shows and I'd put in so much time and it's like what does any of that matter if you're not doing it in front of anybody that can get you anything or you're in your like as soon as you do that show and that audience leaves it's over

nobody at fucking JJ's Bohemia is sitting there with a clipboard like I'm going to send this guy to NBC like fucking you know what I'm saying so like only now am I like oh play the game like it's the game you got to play you know that reading

Antoinette biographies. I'm really into that. Yeah, all that shit I said earlier about one good lick and then going, you know, and garden and whatever else. Like, you know, I do want to think that, but I bet I wouldn't because I've had a realization about myself before too. Like that I, uh, without thinking about it, I keep myself really busy and kind of always have like when I was in, uh, I think it's because, you know, I don't know, just, uh, part of just what Drew said, like never having a safety net and all that shit and just being like, yeah, I got to.

I ain't got no choice, but also, like, I can't stop to think too long about stuff. Exactly. And so, like. I don't mind is the devil's workshop, my friend. Yeah, when I was in college, I'm, you know, taking full-time schedule, working 30 hours a week, and I was doing all kinds of extracurriculars and stuff. Like, I would wake up in the morning, go to class and, like, not be done with the day until, you know, 10 o'clock that night or something.

And then usually go to a bar and get hammered and wake up and do it again. You could do that in your 20s. But I was like, I had very, very little free time. at that point in time. And then I realized, again, I don't think about it that way, but I just do that to myself. Like over the course of the pandemic, it started a Patreon and multiple other podcast.

And, you know, then even after we're going back out on the road and just, you know, adding stuff on because, like, I just, you know, it's like I need. So if all that did go away, even if I made a shitload of money and then all that went away, I, yeah, I wouldn't be cool. just like sitting around, but I'd like to think I'd figure out something that just hit for me to do that I didn't attach any amount of worry or stress to, because that's the other side of it for me. It's like if I care about something, I'm also going to stress out about it, which I think defeats the

purpose of, you know, hitting one good lick. You know what I mean? Like if you hit the good lick, it should just be stuff that it doesn't stress you out at all. Yeah, right. Even if your hobby is like doing this one silly podcast I got. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, for sure. I mean, everything.

It would be hard. I've got a real bad habit of turning, trying to, I don't know if monetize my hobbies is the right. Yeah, it probably is like, me and my therapist were talking one time about, he's like, you know, you need things to do that aren't comedy. You need things that are just your hobbies. And I started talking about all the things that I like to do. and I was like, but every single time I, like, I'm super into comic books. My brain immediately goes to it. You should do a comic book podcast.

I'm super into it. Well, then you should do this. And like the only thing that I really have in my life, because even when I'm, when I go on my like two and three hour walks, almost every time I'm while doing that, while doing that, I'm listening to a podcast that is research for putting on airs or something else. So it's like killing two birds of one stone. And I realize the only thing I have in my life that is purely, I think, that's just like this. is a thing I do and a thing I love is golf, but at the same time, I'm constantly trying to get better at golf so that when the phone rings for the Pebble Beach Pro Am, I'll have my handicap down enough to qualify for it. And I know that if the more I play golf and the better

I get, I'm definitely going to try to pitch something to golf network. It's just how my goddamn brain's wired. Yeah, I don't remember exactly. I know I've heard it. Yeah, we're Bill Burr say on other podcasts, something very, very, close to what you started out. It's not literally don't monetize your hobbies, but it's something in that vein. I've heard him repeat it a few times where it's like, you know,

don't try to make money off your hobbies or pay you for your hobbies or something like that because that's not what they're for. You know what I mean? It's like, you know, because he loves to drum and shit like that, but he ain't trying to use that for nothing. Right.

It's like, no, that's for me. Right. You know, so like, yeah. I don't even post about some of them for that reason because I, like, feel like, especially like where I'm at, you know, it's like a lot of what I'm doing, I'm doing for free anyway, you know, like a lot of, like I'll be posting the stand-up clips, you know, I'm not making any money off this,

but it's my job. I'm making content to, you know, attract or keep followers or whatever. So I refinished the table of Andy's that has been in her family for a while. I posted that, but everything I've done Woodwise since I have, which hasn't been a lot, to be fair. I haven't posted any of it because in my mind, like, the way at my career currently is it's basically the same thing. I'm basically monetizing or professionalizing or whatever content making with my hobby and I don't even want to do that, you know. The way and Burr kind of touched on this too,

the way I am about that part of it is like, uh, like for me, so I, you know, baking and also like I learn to play the ukulele not great, but I can, you know, play it some, but like shit like that, I'm never ever going to post any of that shit, generally speaking, because like there are people who that's what they do and they hit at it. And like I hit at comedy and funny videos and stuff like that. So I post those. I'm not going to throw my half-ass bullshit at people just because like I have fun doing it. And also that's not the point of it for me.

So like, you know, fuck all that. And also I ain't going to lie. I just ain't trying to invite the internet. Oh, because that's, I mean all the reasons my cinnamon Babka doesn't actually hit. It's like, fuck you. I feel pretty good. doubt the worst dude no doubt music with Andy and like I won't let her post none of that shit my voice is terrible like my rhythm ain't great but like I enjoy it you know I've told my wife a million times and this is 100% true I could go online and post the most divisive political statement or video or whatever and the comments are not nearly as wretched as if I post a picture

of in my opinion a perfectly seared steak because like food Twitter and food Instagram or whatever like you cannot make no matter what you do to so many people it was the wrong goddamn thing and it's just it's it honestly I've been bothered by that more than I've ever been bothered by your fucking politics sucks I'm like well I'm right you're wrong whatever the fuck but yeah no you're right man when you start posting food online you open yourself up to a very dark corner of the internet which does not hit Well, let's draw a distinction, though, between posting a picture of your food or a clip of you playing ukulele or you hitting a golf shot off the tea, though versus like a decision to, I like golf, let me make funny videos about it. For sure. I never entertained in my mind like, oh, people will think that this refinished table is super impressive, but I can make fun of people who take that very seriously. Yeah. And then I go, no, I don't want to do that, though. Like, I don't want to make this hobby into the job. I may not do it anyway, but I don't, my kitchen is tiny and it's just not great.

Like, if I had a hitner kitchen, like, I might do parody cooking videos because cooking videos are such a thing on the internet. And that, to me, that's completely different because we are comedians. Yeah, for sure. That would be to make fun of something. And I, you know, I would do that. I'm not because I don't have a setup for it. and I might not even if I did, but yeah, that's a completely different type of thing.

But that's why that's a tougher or like a conversation that requires us to go a little deeper because, okay, I'm not posting pictures of, you know, me singing because my ego and it's dumb and that's not the world I'm in. But what I thought we were kind of discussing is have you made choices not to involve something you care about as a hobby in comedy? Like it would be a legitimate thing for you to do, but you don't want. want baking as an example, Trey, to ever be the job? This isn't what you're asking, but I don't really joke.

I don't really have bits and never really have about my kids for the most part. And that's pretty rare amongst kids. It's not unique. There are other comics that have kids that are like that. But generally speaking, if a comedian has kids, because you write what you know, they're going to have jokes about the kids, I have no problem with the comedians who do that, doing it. but I just don't because I'm intensely private about like that relationship.

That's really all that it is. So I've never, you know, felt inclined to try material about them when they get to be teenagers and shit. It might be different. And that's the only thing that, you know, even somewhat applies to what you're saying there, except it also isn't exactly the same. But I did that one,

I did a recap series for only the final season, the Game of Thrones. And like, I actually really enjoyed doing that. I'm super proud of how that turned out. I think that's actually some of the funniest shit I've ever done. I know I've said that before. But those videos are really good, in my opinion. They hold up.

Part of that is because I didn't decide to do that before the season started because I wanted to make fun of Game of Thrones the whole time because I was a huge fan of Game of Thrones. I didn't know how that season was going to go. But once it started going, way it was going, what was I supposed to do? I couldn't act like it wasn't happening. Right. So afterwards, because that did, it didn't do great, but it did okay.

And we were touring at that time. And there would be people every now and then the meat and green who would come up and say that like they knew me from that, not the political shit or whatever. Like that did happen a little bit. So after that, I was like, I need to think of another show or something to do that with and for. But there were a lot of like, A, there's only one Game of Thrones. It was a cultural phenomenon.

You wanted to be something you're a super fan. of. Everybody watched it. That's hard to find a replacement for. Yeah, something I'm a super fan of, but it's funnier when you're making fun of it. But also, another thing in my head was like,

I'm not, I ain't really trying to be a critic, though. Like, I'm not, you know what I mean? Like, I don't want to get into that game,

which is really, even though I'm being funny, it's like you're really dancing pretty close to just being a, like, a critic of shows, and I'm, I'm a comedian and I'm trying to make stuff.

And, you know, there's the critics, and then there's the people that, you know, are being critiqued, and I want to be the latter. So for all those reasons, I was just like, yeah, I don't think I'm going to do that again. I'm not ruling it out with the right show in the future, maybe.

But, yeah, there were a lot of reasons that I thought, even though I had had some success with that format, that I probably were not do more of it. Yeah, we had to me, what I'm hearing, and maybe we have differences in opinion on what that phrase means, don't turn, you know, don't monetize your hobby. to me don't monetize your hobby for me doesn't mean

don't try to make money working with wood it means don't involve woodworking in your comedy right so like you did kind of monetize or professionalize your Game of Thrones fandom there you don't regret it at all though I had the same I had the same hang up on that whole

not wanting to be a critic thing on my old podcast through the screen door we used to have a segment called bread or wine and the whole point of the segment was we'd go back and watch an old movie and determine whether it, you know, aged like bread or aged like wine. And I was like, oh, I love that. I love old movies.

I love watching movies. I'd love this to be part of my thing. And like my co-host, Matt Coon, we don't have the same sensibilities and not wanting to be a critic. So he would be like super harsh about him. And I always found myself being like, man, I might know one of the dudes that wrote on you know what I mean? Or like, and like, God dang, like, I don't know.

we're all trying to do our bed. And I just couldn't, I could not shit on things. Because part of my philosophy and pretty much everything is like, look, if I don't like something, unless it's a politician that represents my area, if I don't like something and it's completely inconsequential to the world, you'll never hear that I don't like it. Because that's, I, why would, like, if I watch a movie and it sucks, then I won't watch that movie again. Now, if I watch a movie and I love it, I can't wait to stand up on my soapbox and

screamed everybody, you should go see this movie. Like, I really like what... The problem with that is, and I ran it, because I feel the exact same way, and I had all the same thoughts. But, like, I don't care. I'm not saying you can't make it, like, sort of work. It's just an objective fact, in my opinion. The negative reviews, when something is bad, it's so much funnier.

Of course. You just are talking about something that you love. It hits for you real hard. Yeah. People don't want to hear that. You do a recap of that. It ain't... it probably ain't going to be funny.

You know, I agree. Very funny because it's just like, this super hits. Okay, cool. It's great. But like making fun of something and making jokes about it is way more funny and entertaining.

But I'm with you. I don't want to be that guy either. Well, it's also related to, Corey, I think what you were saying about how the way your brain works. Like, okay,

I like golf. Maybe I'll pitch something to the golf network. Like you're kind of, you're always in that mindset. And, I mean, you have to be if you want to make it at a high level in the very competitive.

competitive thing that we do. But like you're obviously also some part of you is thinking like, and this is true, you know, you shit on this one thing and then you might see that person at a picture. Yeah, for sure. For sure.

Then that gets back to a thing the internet has created and amazingly talented people have paved the way for this. I think it did used to be that comics were sort of expected to do that. But like we weren't making TV shows way back in the day or what.

But, you know, like, no one was going to give Bill Hicks a fucking sitcom or whatever, you know, because he was a dick. That's what he was supposed to be. But now with the internet and more hyphens, they call them out here in our business. Yeah. It's like, we're basically actors who have a skill of doing stand-up comedy. I mean, not all of us. I'm kind of not. But, like, that's kind of what the industry is now, right?

You're a creator. And stand-up is one of the things you do. You have to be a multi-hap. I mean, like, now it is you have to be one. It's like, yeah, if you're in the entertainment industry at all, then you're almost in, like, at our level at least, like you've got a hand in like kind of everything, or at least like some of the players are the same on every level.

And like, yeah, like I think about that shit all the time. Like just the other day, I saw a comic retweet. They had just, they had just canceled a, a show had just been canceled. and they retweeted it and they were like, I can't believe it ever made one season. Ha ha ha. And I was just like,

I literally know the guy that wrote on that. Like we don't think about these things anymore, but like, why are you shitting on this? Like, what did your tweet serve? It didn't do anything, but it made you look like a fucking dickhead to someone who otherwise might have thought,

this guy's funny. We should have him work on some. Oh, he just shit on my thing. Fuck him. But at the same time, and there's only one Anthony Jeslnick, but just as an example, I want Anthony Jeslick to show,

on things. Yeah, if that's your whole thing, it's different. Yeah, that's his whole deal, you know, which I do. Him, Jeff Ross, like, that's their whole. Yeah. Don't you kind of want to know? It's like, all right, we've been group chatting about the NBA all week, how everyone's just shitting on CP3, and it's like they finally got their chance to, and this is how they

really feel. It is interesting. Of course. So, like, I have to say that as someone who wants a job, I'm not going to get involved in that. but as a former comedy fan before I did comedy, it is stifling a little bit. It would be interesting if we were talking shit

about each other's projects. Yeah, right. For sure. No, people do love that stuff, but like, in my opinion, I'm not people anymore, if that makes sense. There it is, folks.

You know what I'm saying, though? We've got a break right now for the people who bought us. All right, we'll be right back. Corey's elevated to a new plane of existence above people. into what hitters the hitting realm hit or jet adjacent yeah i know i was hit adjacent last night for carman so by the way go watch carman on hbo everybody she just did a HBO special with a lot of hitters

and some of them were talking about shows they worked on that they know suck that's another thing is like you don't always have control over that kind of thing that's actually exactly what i was about to bring up and cori alluded to it earlier and i think it's like if you you know we've had failed pilots I've had other failed pilots over the years, and I don't have, going through that experience, I think adds to some of this, but also you can know this without having that experience. But you realize at a certain point, like, pretty much no one wants to make something shitty. Everybody's like trying to hit. And you can have, and they're doing their best and they're working hard. And like you can have people who are so talented, super talented, working on a thing and doing their absolute level best.

and then that thing still does not hit because cats there's so many so many examples there's so many different things that go into making something that hits and it's like you almost got to catch lightning in a bottle every time anything hits unless you've got a dedicated hit formula like marvel does that's why we were talking about how wild james cameron's ass is right because he just disappears for a decade and shows up and hits harder than anybody ever has in the world and then disappears for another decade yeah he is wild but like you know studio people producers that gave a lot of money to it that don't know they've all got their opinions you try to please everybody because you have these masters you got to serve whatever you i mean you name it there's a million different ways that something can get

fucked up too many cooks all that shit like uh so yeah when when you realize that like it takes a lot of that bitcher all out of we watch something that just don't hit and it's kind of like it's like oh man, that one just didn't come together. I feel bad for the people involved. And I'm not just like, God, what the fuck were these idiots thinking? What a piece of shit? You know what I mean? Because, like, I know they weren't, you know, that ain't what anybody was trying to do.

And it can just happen. It can very easily just happen to you. So I have, you know, empathy for that now. For the record, when those, when those, like, I think they've got, like, that channel on YouTube that's, like, honest trailers, you know, one. And they'll shit on stuff, but like, they're doing, they're still doing it in a joky, there's jokes there, there's funny, I'm talking about that when I see people just shit on something to shit on something and they're not bringing anything humorous to it. I don't understand that. But even those people, the honest trailer people, have probably locked themselves into

being a type of critic. For sure. Right. But I'm saying like, they're at least putting thought into it. Right. They're a good critic. They're a lot of money. They've got a popular channel and a following and they're doing great. But also, like, that's what they do and that's what they're going to be doing. Yeah, for sure. And I think it's because of that. It is. Like, you can't really be both.

And that's why I was saying earlier. It's like, I know, I know which one I'd rather attempt to be. Speaking of getting locked into something, one thing that happened last night, it was very pleasant for me. a pretty famous comedian, very famous comedian's wife listens to our podcast. And we were talking about it. And she was like, I just like, because, you know, you guys, you don't ever go too deep. It's always lighthearted. And like I spent some time in rural Wisconsin.

You guys remind me of those people I grew up around. And so apparently we've shifted the podcast away from politics enough that there are people who discovered us late enough who it's not even, there's no deep issues connected. They just think of us as the, you know, we like cornbread and butt sex guys. Well, that is wonderful to hear because, yeah, I think that anybody that used to come to this podcast strictly for politics has either jumped ship or was like, well, okay, I can do this too. Well, they only killed themselves the third year of the Trump administration because they were feeble-minded. There's been several of those. You okay?

You okay, Trey? drop my boat rolling away that's funny as I said I've been over here you see me looking around I've been looking for it for forever and I just found it was it under your belly roll

yes yes and that happens to me all the time I just found it pulled it out and then dropped it immediately for real so that's my the best thing about getting in semi decent shape

is that I no longer lose my remote control in my belly as much as I used to because I would sit it fuck all the shit you and Robbie been doing that's the pitch dude that's the commercial right there dude i used to like when i was laying on the couch i would like it's one of those little skinny smart tv remotes and i would just

like sit it right there like on my waistband or whatever and then just kind of forget about it and fidget with stuff i have gotten up i had gotten up so many times all the time and went to the kitchen and lifted my arm like this and the remote fell from my belly crease i don't i never make it to the kitchen but i have this thing i'll be sitting down and i'll just live lose a jewel or something. You know, there's all others. And I'm poking all over my fat self. And I cannot. And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? What the hell? And I know in my head, I'm like, I literally don't know where it can be. Because I feel like I've looked everywhere

on my person. But I know when I stand up from this chair, it's going to materialize and fall out of my fat self somewhere. And it does all the time. Or I can't tell many times I don't think about that at all. I'm not looking for it. And I stand up and things just fall out of it. me, you know, multiple bait pens or remote control or whatever. It happens all the time. It's like a running joke. As soon as you stand? Yeah.

That would be interesting for people. Because I'm not shirtless or anything. They don't get stuck to my skin or nothing like that. They're just sort of hidden. Yeah, I was sure. Why are you taking to the kitchen? Stuck to your skin. I know.

That's what I said. I never make it to the kitchen. It's just, I mean, I can't like just this belly here, it would just get under there. And yeah, I guess. Oh, like when women put something under their titty. Yeah. So the weight of the kidney holds it there. So the weight of your belly overhung enough?

And I mean, look, let's face it, I was also moist. Like, I was sweating a little bit. So it definitely stuck to my skin. And I sleep naked too. And like, yeah, Amber, Amber used to make fun of me because she would take pictures of me all the time. I'd be like I'd roll over in bed. And there was just like, you know, $7 worth of change stuck to my butt and my back that had just rolled around in there. And like, yeah.

The worst of it that happened to me didn't even have anything to do with me. Well, I mean, yes, this is a very fat thing, but it wasn't about my fat body. It was about my fat essence, which is one of the first times I flew during the pandemic or whatever. And I got off a plane. I went to take my mask off and about five goldfish fell out of my mask because I had forgot that the cracker. I had put like what I would do was I would pour. them into my mask and just eat them like a horse,

you know what I mean? So I didn't have to like keep putting my fingers up like that. Like a feedback. And then I had, some of them had just been resting against my chin and I didn't realize it. And I went to take my mask off. And yeah, like a children's recess snack worth of fucking goldfish just fell from my muzzle.

Why won't they give us a phone? It doesn't make any sense. I just imagine literal goldfish falling out of your mask. Yeah. Yeah. And you're looking at somebody and then running away. Like you got caught me in a spot. Yeah, it was a very, very shameful moment. And like I looked around and nobody was like making eye contact with me, but like several people had to have seen and known exactly what the fuck that was.

Yeah, they're not going to make eye contact after something like that happens. Dude, we're going to all pretend like we didn't see any of that. What's your fattest moment? Me? Yeah. My belly, as you guys know, is what gets big when I get fat. And I think just like I've had a few. times where like I hit somebody with my stomach not knowing that I was close enough to touch them.

Do you know what I mean? And like it being weird, like there was enough space in the situation. Not like a concert hall where it's like, oh, sorry, didn't mean to bump you. It's like, why did you just touch me? And like in my head of my heart, it's like, because I didn't know that I was going to. It was an accident. It's just my belly's too big. Yeah, one time on a plane. You know how like the exit row seats on a big plane or sometimes like off kilter to the other ones and then there's those two in front of it and there's kind of that big space. The service cart was coming and it was right here so I couldn't get out the regular way to go to the bathroom. So I was like, I'm just going to slide through this little area here where other two people are seated and I got stuck. I was not,

I was not fit enough to go through there and I just had to give up halfway through and sit back in my seat and everyone knew, especially the person who was sitting in the seat that I was sweatingly trying to grind myself through in order to be swab and go to the bathroom and not cause much of a scene. But yeah, couldn't get through. I've tried to support you, but just so much fun of your fat, man. I know. No, I mean, I never disagreed.

I never disagreed that I wasn't. I said that I was willing to lose 15 to 20% of 15 to 20% of 15 to 20% of, I never disagreed. funny if it also, if I was still in better shape. Yeah. I agree. It's, dude, I'm telling you, like, there's so many jokes that I have now in my act that I'm like, God damn it, if I could do something, if I could do the truffle shuffle like I used to after this, it would really make this hit harder.

I'm not disagreeing with y'all. I just would like to live longer being 20% less funny. Yeah. You could take your hat off and I think it would be fine. Yeah, that ain't happening. But then, but we've talked about, this a million times. That's true. And bald is funny, but it doesn't support my, uh, my style. Yeah, you might age into it, but I know exactly what you mean. Well, dude, when I'm like 50 or

whatever, it's like whatever, you may as well be bald, but like there's, I have a very, my style on stage, I get away with a lot of things because I have sort of an all shucks. He's just a kid kind of charm, big cheeks and like, and if I'm bald, a lot of the, these things are just like, why is this old man screaming at us? You know what I mean? It just doesn't, I don't get the all shucks. If you wear a diaper too, a diaper and ball. I can wear a diaper. And it's even younger. So it plays even better. It's like, oh, it's a baby being fun. When I ever, if, when I ever, if I do decide to go full ball on stage, you have no idea how much better in shape I'll have to be to ever decide to do that. Like there will come a day where I'm like, okay, you can,

you can be bald, but like I will have to take my fitness up another notch because like I have to be like, like I, if you knew who I was before, then you know how much better in shape I am right now. But I still, but nobody looks at me and goes, look at that fit feller. I would have to be, I would have to be someone who was, if you, nobody knows me, that's a really in shape person noticeably before I would ever take my hat off. Well, speaking of being bald on stage, two quick segues. one my hair line obviously it goes back like that and like there's so many times people will take a picture of me when I'm on stage from the side going dogging it every single time I see that and I'm like oh my god I just like I forgot I looked like that and I got

called Bob Odenkirk on the internet two times this you all have a you all have a similarity for sure yeah there's a thing for sure but also speaking to be involved on stage quick plugs um Go to Drew Morgan Comedy.com right now for the tickets.
