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 you used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I know I talked last week on the podcast. about a family who, through no fault of their own, got into a tax fight with the county that they won, but then the mortgage company said, you owe us all the money now.

Thanks in part to me having a law degree and that scaring some people at a bank, and thanks in large part, most part, to you guys, the fans, looks like we're going to win this one. We have the money that they're requiring up front We're working on getting some paperwork together that they're just making us jump through a hoop. I'm pretty good at hoops, as it's been well documented. So, yeah, without being too sincere or emotional, I just want to say thanks.

I'm going to say opening for Big Boy.

I think Corey's doing that show with me. They're going to shut down the comedy tent right before Big Boy's set. So we're opening for Big Boy in Knoxville there. It's an expensive ticket because it's a festival, so don't freak out when you see the price. Just understand you're going to see Big Boy Super Drag Me, the show. It's going to hit. I'm going to be in Atlanta, Savannah, someplace outside of Atlanta,

where I'm probably going to get shot for my opinions. I'm getting all them on above my website. By the time that you hear this episode, it should be up. But, you know, maybe those links ain't ready. I'm doing this tour on my own. It's rough out there. Speaking of jumping the gun, I wanted to let everybody know. First of all, thank you for all the people reached out,

saying, hey, where's gravy baby? Where's the new podcast? It's coming in September. I should have made that very clear that we are working on a new podcast. It's coming very soon. But, you know, with Carmen on board, me and DJ are trying to actually act like professionals and not just record from the barn. He'll still be recording from the barn.

I don't know why I even see. Does he have a choice? Like, he has a choice now. He relegated to a barn. Yeah, he had been relegated to a barn. He now has like a loft situation and a barn. He's got a few places. Yeah, right.

I've been, yeah, he's been in sort of, I always refer to it as parts unknown, but. But is he like settled down now, Mr. D.J. Lewis? He's in parts, no, for sure. He's living, he's got roommates in North Carolina, but I believe he is going to take over a farm, like live on some rich dudes farm and man it for his rent or for half his rent or something like that. Is it a goat farm? There's going to have goats. They're going to have chickens.

They're going to have a lot of stuff. That goat was really like the gateway barnyard animal for DJ, huh? It's been legitimately. He gets a goat. Next thing you know, he's taking over an old man's farm in North Carolina somewhere. We'll have him on here to talk about it. Escalated quickly. We'll have him on here to talk about it.

And we can have him on here to talk about a lot of stuff he's learning. He's been learning different techniques for farming. He's been learning about, he's been dealing with manure and how to basically make it. obviously a lot of people hear, well, a lot of people hear manure and they think shit. Yeah. And that's part of it. But to get the most out of it, and I'm about to speak a little ignorantly, you got to mix it with stuff, add some stuff to it. And you have scraps.

You can turn scraps into manure. Maybe manure's not the right word. Maybe it's just fertilizer. Maybe I should say the word fertilizer. I don't know if, you know, fertilizer is an umbrella and manure's under it. You know what I mean? Scraps like compost. Yeah, compost.

Yeah, you got it. Yeah. He's been learning how to do that because apparently there's like ways to do it to where your nitrogen is higher, which is what plants like. Does that sound familiar? That does sound familiar to me. How do you know if your poop dirt hits or not? Like before just betting it all on a crop and then seeing how it turns out. I'm 99% sure, and DJ didn't teach me this.

This is from my dad and my in-laws. I'm 99% sure of the bugs tell the tale. once it starts to turn and you add leaves or grass or something like that as well you need a carbon uh once that starts to turn to mush if the bugs get in there oh you've done it right son yeah you got good poop dirt then you got good poop dirt now yeah don't hold back tell us about it you know um yeah but there's like a big difference you know like uh is this like a massive farm you know what i mean i know it's not like a corporate farm but i'm like and like, you know, there's the farms.

There's a big difference in levels of farmed them. Right. Well, I don't, I'll be honest, I don't think it's a farm. I think it's a guy with a bunch of land who was like, I've been wanting to do something with it. You know, I come down here every other weekend, but since you're here, do you want to be the one who does something with it?

But he just sort of fine DJ there one day and, like, hey, you know. If you like it out here, you could just, you know. I'm debating on how much I want to tell because I do want to have him on. But essentially, like the quick and dirty version is DJ went to live in North Carolina and you said it. You nailed it. That goat transformed his life. He wanted to work with other animals and learn about sustainability and stuff like that.

Because as you might imagine, DJ is still very much on the rush that's going to kill us tip. And he's very into that. And we've been doing a lot of mutual aid. throughout the pandemic. He's very into the idea of, like, adds sustainability to his, I don't know, life. The way he phrases it is that goat was his resume. People who know about animals.

People who know about animals. I get how that's, like, a real thing to say and make sense. But it also just sounds like DJ would show up to a job interview with a goat. But like, that's all you need to know, buddy. So the area he's in. there's a lot of people with small farms, hobby farms, rescue farms. The people he's staying

with are among those people. Like one of the guys, or one of the people he's staying with is the head ranger for the forest in that area. So they know a lot of these people, right? Like the hippies with the farms. They meet DJ. Of course, they're very taken or taken aback.

It's always one of the other. And he's got this goat with him. And when they find out that he kept this goat alive for as long as has without a herd and through a Minnesota winter, they're literally like, well, you are an animal whisper. And he's like, buddy, goddamn right. Because if they know about animals, they're like, this goat should be dead because they're

herd animals. Without a herd, goats will die. The only way to prevent them from it is to basically make the goat part of your own herd, which is what he did. Right. Is that what kept the goat? Like, I know the goat had all those problems all the time. Was that just because it wasn't with a herd and all that type of stuff, but DJ didn't know that?

He did know it, but it was too late. Like, he was living in Minnesota in a winter. There was no way to, like, integrate it at that time. Again, we've got to have him on here to let him answer these questions in a much more hilarious and knowledgeable way. But the answer to question is yes, indirectly. So the goat wasn't dying from herdlessness, but it was like it ate something. It wasn't supposed to eat. and goats in a herd are taught by the head goats not to eat that shit,

but DJ didn't know how to be a head goat, which surprised me. Yeah, I would think he would excel at head goatdom. Yeah, he just needed a little bit more practice. We definitely need to have him back on soon then, because, yeah, I'm excited to hear about all this. Is he already taken over this small holding, as it were? That's what they call them in the UK, small holding. somebody got a little like parcel they're trying to do something with we get it you didn't get a

study abroad now that you've been abroad you're going to come back talking differently for six to 12 months we're going to let you have that one but at some point we're going to call you out um i think that he takes over in october on the small holding i think that uh for the record jokes his side i like that that's that's definitely what it is and uh so we'll get him in maybe then after he's you know, knee-deep in it. I was bummed. I was supposed to hang out with him this weekend. I did a festival that I wanted to shout out the folks of the Apocalypse

Supper Club, which is like an internet group that sounds like it. It sounds like it. Yeah. Yeah. And it was at this YMCA camp and they had a bunch of animals. DJ was supposed to open for me. He couldn't do it because of car trouble and a bunch of other stuff.

But I was bummed he wasn't there because he would have really loved it. I saw Shane Smith do comedy. I was very impressed. It was a fun time. I wanted to thank those folks for having me, and they say they're going to have me back next year, so hopefully people can come. What's the idea of the Apocalypse Supper Club?

I think... Just eat food that hits since the world's going to end anyway? Yeah, I think it started during the pandemic, and it was like, holy shit, like all of us, they were like, the world's going to come to them. And it was just like a Facebook group that shared memes. They only had two rules, be nice and no politics. which couldn't believe they invited your boy,

if those were the two standards. But I think it just kind of became, I don't know, I don't know them that well. Maybe a support group is the way, a place to hang out. They started doing Zoom hangs. They started having happy hours together when we were all stuck inside.

And I guess as the world opened up, they were like, why don't we take this to the streets one week into year? Where at, geographically? they're all over the America they had it in Erie Pennsylvania on one of the Great Lakes I remember which one it is probably Lake Erie that's what I guess yeah that would be my assumption too and have you seen those

like I know we've been to Cleveland driven by one in the winter it was wild I've been on it's Michigan right that's by Chicago Lake Michigan is the one that Chicago touches oh I was gonna I see I was I thought you did my thing. I was like, no, I think, I think that's in Illinois. Yeah, that makes sense. I've been on Lake Michigan while in Chicago.

And then, yeah, we went to, we were in Traverse City, which is up there on a great lake. And I've, you know. But it was on. I've definitely seen a few of them. As I recall, because I went on, I got on the lake in Traverse City. I went and got a stand-up paddle board and all that while you and the other one slept till two. And it was like an inlet. Is that what they call it?

You know what I mean? Like, this was the first time I've been on the coast of one where you could see it for miles in every direction. And it's wild. I mean, I know it's like a dumb, it's like, can you believe how big them are? But like, I fucking couldn't. Yeah, no, as I recall, you could like, you know, you can't, you can't see, you know, it's just water in one direction for as far as you can see because it's bigger than you can see. Right.

Right. You got it. It's a notion. It's like an ocean, but you know that it ain't an ocean. So you're like, damn, this is a real big lake. Yep. Yep. We nailed it.

Yeah, it was idyllic. It do be like that, though. Yeah, it do be. Well, we've already teased our guest. It looks like he's ready. If he's ready, let's get back to him right after this. Yeah. And we're back.

All right. All right, welcome to the well-read podcast, the illustrious. the illustrious, the one, the only Moe Alexander. What's up, Mo? What's up, my brother? How you doing? I'm wonderful, dude. How y'all doing today?

Doing great. To let everybody know I got to open for Mo in Denver for a weekend. For those of you who are following me, I headlined a club on a Thursday, and then I went to a different club the rest of the weekend and opened for Mo, and we had a great time. We had fun, boy. Where are you at right now? I am hanging out in Wichita.

I came in town last night to do a, like, a late night type show for a friend of mine named Steve Peters. He does this little local thing called Almost Late Night, and it's real fun. Hell yeah. Yeah. Mo is a true road dog, and we've talked about it a lot before with Well Red, how spoiled we are because Trey broke the Internet. Yeah, Trey, breaking the Internet every week for months on the end, dog. All my wife friends are like, oh, my God, you know, Trey. Prouder, hold on, hold on.

We thought we were all your white friends. Yeah. No, I got hundreds of them. They're everywhere. Every city you go, you've got to have a white friend. That's a rule. Well, not so. I was in Denver.

Like, you know, in case the cop tried to fuck with you or something. You got a white guy like Chip in the Dave Chappelle bit or whatever. The chip, yeah, but the white guy gets you in trouble, you know. Well, no. They don't know. You don't hang out with. white guy and tell you just call him when the police right

like yo bob I need you to come bail me out some bullshit happening and Wichita yeah that's great um well I was only going to say you know I was doing the Denver thing on my own and I was road dog in it like you and you know

I saw you getting in the car how far were you driving when you left Denver because I was like in my head I'm like damn mo I think you told me you had to go somewhere else in the Midwest okay when I last saw you I think we went Straight to, after that, I left, I left Denver. We went to Albuquerque, came back to Denver for another show,

then went back to Albuquerque, and now I'm in Wichita, and tomorrow I'm headed to Little Rock, and after eight weeks on the road, I finally go home. Hell yeah, man. Where's home? Is this Memphis? Memphis, sir. From Memphis, that's what I thought. Yeah.

You're Grizzlies fan or now? Oh, yeah. I'm a grisly and tiger fan. That's all I care about sportswise. I don't care of anything else. I don't care. No, I don't care. No, I don't care.

Memphis only. That's all I care about. Yeah, go gris. Good young team. Love John Morant. But yeah, I don't know. You know, we're definitely going to get in some, like, some behind the curtain comedy talk on this episode,

because I'm just not going to be able to resist, I don't think. Because you have been road-dogging it for a long time now. What kind of car you drive, first of all. How's it? Right now, right now as a Jeep Cherokee. Before that, I had a, my last few cars have been Jeep Grand Cherokee, but the last one blew up in Los Angeles, seriously blew up. Weird.

Some guy was driving down the interstate. His toolbox fell off and bounced some tools, bounced into my engine, and literally blew up my car. I mean, yeah, that'll do it. That happened in L.A.? Yeah. Like, not lower. Alabama. No, no. Los Angeles.

That's some movie shit in the movie town. Yeah. I was like, this is not real. This is not really happening. And it really did, yeah. How did you, did you like, you know, the payment for that, insurance and all that shit and everything? Like, you know, do you have to like sue that dude, take him to court? Or you'd just be like, ah, it was about to blow up anyway. No, no, it wasn't. I never called the dude. My car blew up before. working catch a dude.

Oh, he, like, got away. Yeah, he never stopped. It just fell off. We were on the interstate. Something bounced off, and we couldn't avoid the thing, bounced up in the engine, blew up the engine. And he was going. Damn, you got Mario carded, dude.

Yeah, I did. Was it an Italian plumber? It might have been. Might have been. I think I did see Mario on there. That's crazy. So what, so you said you've been out for eight weeks, or you will have been out for eight weeks,

Yeah, we went, I started, I started by going to a friend of mine's wedding and because gas was so expensive at that time, it was just cheaper to stay for an extra week with, in hotels and pay for gas to drive back to Memphis and then drive right back to Wichita, Kansas. I'm like, you know what, just, let's just stay out. And then we just went on the road. I did, I always do a month in Denver or Colorado in July because I refuse to go out there in the wintertime.

right because I'm from Memphis and I don't know anything about snow no yeah I heard that yeah so and I just picked up some other gig Albuquerque Little Rock then I go home now we uh the first year we were touring we had some like up north winter shows one of them in particular we had to drive from Pittsburgh to Buffalo and a big lake area lake effect storm came upon us and we were freaking out and like almost called the club and told them we just weren't going to make it to cancel the shows or whatever because we couldn't we weren't able to get there yep but but we did get there but we taught you know so we told our agent let's please not do that anymore because we're all from the south too and so for a long time we never went to anywhere north or cold in the winter time but I guess we pissed him off last year

because he had a there was a four-week stretch in January and February where we were in like Indianapolis Omaha Appleton Wisconsin and there was one more In the winter? All in the wintertime back to back to back. Yeah. Y'all drove or did y'all get flayed? No, no. We go in and come back.

Yeah, okay. I drove from Minnesota because I was visiting DJ who, before you got on here, I was just talking about. And DJ came with me and DJ and I drove from something township, Minnesota, like right on the lake, like river, right across from, you know, It was only like a three-hour drive, but it was cold. It wasn't as scary as that Lake Effect drive, though. And by the way, I don't remember if anybody told us then, Trey,

but I brought that up this weekend. I was on Lake Erie doing a show this weekend, and I learned about what the deal is with that. That lake is so big that in the summer it gets hot, and when the winter comes, it's cold outside, but the lake itself is so warm that it warms up, the towns right along the lake. But the snow don't give a fuck about that.

Nope. So it comes in so quickly like that because you essentially are creating a small storm period, but the warm air on bottom where the lake is and the cold air coming in. And that's why it just comes and dumps all of a sudden. And we got one of those. And it's weird how I'm the worst and the best driver on the well red tour. Like I get into most wrecks, but it's like in a parking lot, right? Like I just hit a car in a park a lot.

Like I just do that. I've done it like three times. but if it's snowing, they're like, you drive. For sure. Crazy, man. I had to do that Buffalo. I left Buffalo one night trying to avoid the storm, and we ran right into that thing.

So I know that Lake of Fet snow, frightening. Very much so. So how long have you been? Well, first of all, like roughly, how many weeks a year would you say you're on the road, like just on average? Somewhere between 35 and 40, probably. Right.

Yeah, that's what I figured you'd say. And how long you've been doing that for? Way too long. my brother way too low. Way too low. How did you get into it? Like, because I've,

yeah, I've talked to some comics. It was almost kind of like nearly accidental, you know, but then there's obviously a lot of comics who like it was a very, you know, uh,

intentioned choice. Like they wanted to be a comedian and went for it. And so how'd it work out for you? And if you, if you did want to be a comedian, like what made you want to do that in the first place? What's your origin story? Here's my evil.

Here's my villain origin story. Honestly, God, this is true. When I was a small child, I used to get those little joke books from school, and I would memorize like four or five jokes, and every time I get my hair cut at the barbershop, I'd do a set. But I didn't know that's what I was doing. I just thought this was interesting. And I loved comedy anyway.

And then many years later, right before I started comedy, I had a girlfriend and I watching evening at the improv on TV in the 90s. And I was like, I am way funny than somebody's. people. She said put up or shut up. Two weeks later, I go up to the Comedy Zone and Memphis, Tennessee, do their open mic. And I've been here since. Right. Okay.

So it was, but it was kind of impulsive. You saw that episode of evening at the improv and you were just like, I could do that. And then so then you did that and you just been doing that ever since. Ever since, man. Ever since. So follow your dreams, kids, but be careful.

You might end up in Wichita on a Tuesday. I'm only here. because of you guys. This is why I'm here right now. I was I stayed over tonight. Let me go hang out. I don't want to be driving in a car tomorrow. Let me just stay at a hotel, play with the possums and hang out. Speaking of us, you got the possums with you? Oh, they're asleep right now, but yeah. Wait, hold on. I'm sorry, what? What? Yeah, yeah. See, I know, this was the overlap that needed to happen right here. I thought he was. That wasn't just like I ran into Mo and I was like, you're funny do the podcast. That was it, but I was also like, we're having the possum man on. I did not know

you were the possum man when you just impossom comedian you said have some fun play with the possums I thought either you were making a joke about us being possums or because you're in Wichita you're like you know they got a bunch of possums out

you were just making like a Wichita joke or something you literally have possums so what happened was a little while ago I was attacked by a possum in my own home long story long story it's on the new album which by the way debuted at number one Friday most possum blues.

The most awesome blues, baby. Yeah. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. What happened was, well, I was attacked by possum, and then later on,

we found a baby possum in my house, which could not take care of itself, but I wasn't just going to kick a baby possum out. So we decided to adopt him, and he's like special needs, and he's kind of blind, more so than normal. Okay,

I was about to ask, like, if all possums would be qualified as being special needs on account of just being possum. So, like, even for a possems, Don't you talk shit about possums, T-Ares. I love possums. I understand that possums are very... They're very beneficial creatures in the ecosystem and whatnot, as I understand.

They're like immune to rabies and eat ticks and shit like that. They fight snakes. They're awesome little dude. They're all the little creatures, man. I suggest if you see a possum in your yard, don't be scared. Just leave him alone. If he gets in your house and he's not like a baby, just shoot him out. You don't have to try to hurt him or anything because they're just...

They're more afraid of you than they are. You hear that prey love to happen. They're more afraid of you than you are it. But no, these guys have anxiety. That's what that whole pass-out thing is. It's like those goats that have involuntary. They just pass out. They can't help it.

Play impossum. Yep. Yeah. So that happens because of their nervous system or whatever. They just, like, overload. They just freak out. Oh, my God, you're hearing me. And they pass out.

Yeah, they're great. What do you mean special needs? Do you just mean because it can't see? Or is that, like, are you trying to, like, BPC? You got a dumb possum? No, I don't have a dumb bottle. Actually, my friend who possum sent for me while we were to Bahamas called me up, and he's like, he's using tools.

He just pushed the chair over to go up into the door and turn the knob of like, what in the hell is going on. He missed you. He had to go to Bahamas. He was pissed. He was trying to get on a flight. He wanted to go. We were like, we can't take you.

They might kill you. But he's virtually blind. Most possums have bad sight in daytime. He's virtually blind. Like, you can stick food right in the flight. face and he won't see it until you put it under his nose. He's like, oh, there's food. So it's weird.

But the second one was a failure to thrive and she's like half the size of him, even though they're the same age. And she has a bad back foot and she can't use it. So she would have been killed immediately in a while. So we have her too. But how did you get hooked up with her? You know, I get how you get into the possum game through finding this first possum by accident, right? And now you're the possum man.

There's a lot of... They captured your heart. But how are you, how are these other, you know, injured possums come ending up with you in the first place? There's a bunch of people who take care of possums online in Facebook. And one of my girlfriend that I got in the possum group. And he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he had, he had an accident where he broke a tooth. had to go have an emergency surgery and all this. And this one rehabber was like,

oh my God, you really take you really great care of your opossum. I have one I can no longer take care of, and she sent us a picture of who we now call Blanca. And she was just like the most adorable little, yeah, Blanca from Street Fighter. I was going to ask if it was from Street Fighter. You understand me, dude.

You understand me. And she is just a little adorable weirdo. While Poncho goes roaming around everything, and he's like, I need to climb on. that. I need to go in that thing. She's like, I'll be hiding your pillow. She'll talk to me later, and that's what she does. Okay.

I have some questions. I have answers. Are they nocturnal, largely? Well, yeah, that's the perfect animal for a comic. Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah. But like how nocturner, like, you know, how much does their sleep schedule clash with yours

and you, and you take them with you on the road and stuff, obviously? Like, How do you work that out with hotels? Do you tell them? Emotional support possums? Yeah, okay. Emotional support possums, yes, that's what they are. We have a little emotional support jacket on them.

No, well, like, Pontchio's asleep right now, but he'll be up in an hour. He'll walk around. He'll like, hey, I need something to eat. And then he'll like, okay, I'm going back to bed. And then like at midnight, he'll be like, let's party. Right. He's just like a comic. Right, yeah.

Yeah. Um, what, so, all right, what about the bathroom? How's that work? You know what? You keep it, you, you think these guys are dumb, but we have, uh, they're both potty trained to go on puppy pads. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Did you have to figure out how to do that? Did you work that out yourself? Or is there resources online that I've just never known about or looked into for potty training a possum? Well, there are resources online, but they're pretty much like cats. They don't, they clean themselves. like cats, they, uh, yeah, they, they pick a place they want to go to the bathroom and they'll go to the bathroom over there and you just keep putting the same thing right there. And they're like,

all right, it gets a little weird on the road because at the house, they know exactly where to go. On the road, they're like, where can I pee here? What's happening? You know, one place where you would want them to be, uh, peeing in the right place, they get confused. I mean, that checks out. It's very wild to me how much this is overlapping with DJ's goat story. I was like a exciting. I was. that we were referencing before you hopped on here, Mo. DJ Lewis, who I think you know, has... He rescued a goat from Nazis, which that's a hell of a story.

And he was... I'm having to hear that sometime. I'm sorry, that's just a layer just being that hurts by it. The goat was white, so we figured they'd like it, but they didn't. And it goes with him on the road now sometimes, and it's part of it. And it poops, MPs on a... puppy pad. So it's really insane how much this is overlapping.

I just texted him. He's farming now. So I don't know if he'll get back to me. But if he does, I'm going to try to get him on here so you guys can compare goat and possum notes because he also got a lot of resources from Facebook and online and found Facebook groups and communities who were doing this. Is that where you found them, Facebook?

Yep, yep, Facebook groups. There are people out there who are really passionate about possums. and they really, I mean, it's very weird. I'm not going to lie to say it's not weird, but they're very passionate people, and they're like competing groups on Facebook about possums, and it gets like Westside, East Sad Valance sometimes. It's very weird.

I'm not even kidding, dude, it's very weird. The Possum Wars. Like, what's an example of a thing that the two sides would disagree about? They're big debates in the possum community. There's some people like, there's some people like, You should let that possum go. It needs a wild animal. I'm like, yeah, but it has a bad foot.

It'd be dead. Well, that's just nature. I'm like, go shut up. It sounds like they came there to shit on you, though. That doesn't sound like they're there to hang out with other possum connoisseurs. It's very weird. They get kicked out immediately, but there's always some people who are just like, you need to let that possum go. I'm like, he would be dead if it wasn't for me.

I'm giving this possible the most comfortable few years I can give this possum. He's going to be comfortable. we're not like feeding him Cheetos or anything every day. It's just like he has food. He's seen the world from the back of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Like what more could a possum want? He normally hangs out at my feet. He normally like he comes out.

He has a little like carrier and he like walks out of the carrier, walks over my shoulder, walks down my front, and then just sits on the floor under my feet. We have a little blanket for him. He just hangs out down there. The air kid can come up whatever he wants. He just hang it out. What do you feed him?

Now, the food thing, Shedra, one of my partners, she has all the knowledge on feeding them because she's gone through all the research and trying to keep them healthy and not getting the metabolic bone disease, which is something you can get if you feed them improperly, which is weird because you see them eating trash. Right, right, exactly. That's what I was thinking. But they're same with goats. This is unbelievable. It's true.

I remember asking DJ about because I thought goats could eat like, metal cans and be fine. You know what I mean? That's how goats are, but DJ was like, no, they're very particular, buddy. Like, they got, you know, apparently that's not true. And they have a very particular diet they're allowed to have. No, Ponto, for instance, is bougie as hell. Yeah. Like, he is, he won't eat worms or he won't eat buggy. He's, you can put a bugger from him. Like, what is this? Get away from me. But, like, he'll eat chicken bones and chicken, okay? You're not supposed to be, they're not supposed to be cooked, but sometimes, you know, I'll have an extra wing,

And he'll just, actually one that had some wings, he just walked over, grabbed the wing with his hand and started eating it like a person. And I'm just like, you're just weird. I woke up there crumbs all in my bed because he'd gone back in a second time and just ate a wing on my bed while I was asleep. And I'm just like, you're just weird. That's a possum after my own heart right there, hating wings in bed. He's wonderful. Both of them are all the little people. What's their, how long do you?

possums live. I have no idea. See, in the wild, probably a year, maybe two. Really? Yeah, yeah, it's really a shame. A tarantula can live 40 years, but a possum only one in the wild. You're blowing my mind back to back with all these animal facts. I didn't know either one of those things. Yeah. It was true. That's wild. Yeah. Is it because it's just hard out there for a possum? It's hard out there for a possum film. It is. It's hard out there for a possum film. But you know what I mean? Like, just nature and being in the wild is rough or like if you've got a possum, in ideal circumstances, they just don't live longer than a couple years, no matter what. No, well, in captivity, they can live up for like five years.

So we're trying to get five years off these both these little days. In the wild, though, like, you understand, they have, they actually have little hands and feet that look like people hand and feet. And they're not covered in fur. So just think about walking in the snow on your bare skin. and yeah, you know, you'll see, if you ever see, if you ever in Minneapolis and you see a possum in the snow, you know, throw him some food because he's having a bad day. Yeah. We saw possums out here a couple in our yard and they're not native. Somebody definitely brought them out here and then they got on the loose.

Are you saying they don't live that long in the wild? They don't make it as long as they do. Yeah. No, no, they don't. If you have a two-year-old possum in the wild, that is an ancient possum. That's a bad motherfucker. Yeah, he's been through some shit right there. He's been through some shit.

He's seen some stuff. I have no idea. On DJ and I's sister podcast, into the abisket, rest in peace, we had a prevalent characters named Possum Charles and Possum Terry, one of which went to space and a fan got a tattoo of and stuff. And throughout all my Possum experiences, I mean, I genuinely love Possums.

I guess just their age is not something that ever popped in my head. You kind of blown my mind because they seem so tough, right digging through trash surviving at night so they can get away from predators that whole play in dead which seems to work also my friend kevin pickling up by the tail once and threw it into a tree oh survived he shouldn't have done that um i knew mo wasn't gonna like that there as you this is years ago uh my point is though he was fine that possum was fine i just assumed two years seems low like you've blown my mind yeah two years is old as an old as an old as an old ass posthum in a while you got this sounds messed up

about to say, but you got to think of possums as your local homeless dude. You got to use them. They're just like, there's a homeless dude by the trash. That's why I can't throw them in a tree. I'm just kidding. Go wrong. Because they're cool little animals. They really do help you out.

If you see them in your yard, they're just, you know, eating bugs, eating the ticks that you don't want in your house. They're eating the snakes. You don't want in their house. They're great little dudes. Yeah, I looked it up because you said that. And a raccoon, they live only two. to three years, which is also less than I was. Yeah, right. And I mean, I guess, again, I know the wild is,

like I said, it's hard out there for a posthum, but it, but like, and I knew that, but I still would have thought it was longer than that, too. I don't, I probably would have guessed five or six years for both of them. I had no idea. I wonder, I would have assumed that half of most animals that aren't predators die young. And then the ones that are savvy make it a long time. So is it possible that this is an average because 50% of possums, Mo, you're a math guy. I don't know how to explain it, but you understand what I'm saying. Yes. When you have a

calculus joke, I assume you're a fucking math guy. But like half of possums are dying at two months and then the rest of them are making it to eight years and that's the not explaining stuff. If you have an eight-year-old possum, that's not a possum. Something's wrong.

That's a rat with a haircut. You know what? Even rats let a little longer than possums. That's what... That's very weird. You know, I have a 10-year-old rat, but a 4-year-old possum is gone. Do you think you'll,

like... We said earlier when we were talking about DJ, I said, man, that goat was a real gateway livestock for him because he never did any barn-related shit until he got this goat, and now he's, like, running a dude's barn and everything. Do you think these possums are going to be your gateway,

like rescue anything? animals like, will there be more possums? You're going to get into other. You're going to have like, I don't know, a weasel that got hit by a car on the road in a couple years or something like that. He's just going to be a little ardbar king. He's just to have them all

around and sitting at his feet. You don't know. But you don't understand. You met Shandra, Drew. You met Shandra. She is, she has become insane with these little dudes. She is the person who's now, if you see if possums dead by the side of the road,

she will pull over, put out some gloves and make sure there's no babies in that pouch. That's who she is right now. That happens a lot, right? Yeah. The guy with babies in the pad. I read that on the internet. Yeah. And now she's always wanted sugar gliders,

another marsupia, the little flying possums. Yeah, my sister-in-law used to have sugar gliders. I reckon that's just what my wife has always told me. It was before my time. But yeah, I know about sugar gliders. Yeah. but she wants either a sugar glider, a rabbit, or a,

but actually possums are my thing now. I'm not going to, if you ever see me without a possum, something's wrong. Well, how, okay. I don't want you to out yourself here. Like, you know, I don't want to, I'm not trying to get you in any trouble with this question, but how are you going to source your possums reliably, you know, in the future as you go throughout the rest of your life? Like, do you think you'll have any trouble finding these possums that are in need of fossoms? stirring like you've done so far.

Because there are hundreds of rehabbers out here right now. Okay. To take care of possums. And they sometimes need help to take care of those possums because, you know, they'll have a mom get hit by a car and suddenly there's 12 little possum babies, you know. And you can only take care of so many at one time. So if there's a possum person in my area who needs some help, you know, we're like, all right, we can take another one.

Okay. Do you think that you'll branch? of other marsupials, you've already brought up a sugar glider. Like, as you progress, like with any sort of addiction or hobby, you've got to keep going with it. Will you have koalas eventually? Because I hear they get a wilder.

I will never have a koala. Those all have chlamydia. I don't want to get a lot of bad things about koalas. Apparently they are smelly little funky bastards. You're like high all the time? They all high all the time. Eucalyptus, like gets them fucked up and barely nourishes them, but they still.

Yeah, they still keep it. So they're just like, they're like got the dope nods up in the tree all day long. And fucking, yeah, they stink or wild. They all got to clap, whatever. There's one more soup I would love to get my hands on. I'm not even alive about it. Huh? I think I know what it is.

Go ahead. Call it Quaka. Oh, yeah. Quaka. Those are great. What, this little, they live on an island. They live on an island of Australia. They live on Australia called Ratch Nest Island.

Yeah. And they're the ones who just. hilarious. They photo bomb people by smiling and stuff. They literally look like living Disney characters, like Disney cartoon. Like they look like they're all about to break into song and all this stuff. That is true.

That is so true. There's a lot of marsupials in that area of the world, too. Yeah. See, here's the thing. When I, like seven years ago, in 2015, I had some medical stuff and I died. And then I came back. and that's when I first saw Quaka. So I think I'm in the wrong timeline

because I'd never heard of a Quaka before 2015. I'd never heard of one. And I'm like, this thing is too cute not to being seen everywhere. Why hasn't Disney made a movie about this thing? So I think I'm in a weird timeline that now I have possums. Like the Bernstein Bears thing or whatever?

Yeah, yeah. Mandela effect. Exactly. Mandela effect because there was no Quakas. I had never seen a quackle before 2015. It's funny you say, I can't think of another example, but I know I've talked to,

like Drew and Corey before, about how, like, it is wild to me anytime I see a new animal that, like, is noteworthy, like a super wild-looking bird or sea creature or something, because I'm always just like, damn, dude, you've been here this whole time? Like, my whole life, you've been here and I had no idea. Like, you never came up once. It's just wild. You still can find out about new animals. Yeah, I don't know.

This many years after the internet, you know. It happens. What about dinosaurs? where, like, I find out in my 20s that there's, like, four bigger than a T-Rx. And you're like, well, then how the fuck did the T-R become the household name? Like, he must have good PR. Maybe he was the first big, bad-ass one.

You know what I mean? That's why he got named the king. Then later they found bigger ones. Like, well, they really should have been the Kings, but we already fucked that up. Too late. Well, you got realized they lived in different parts, the whole different parts of the world. So, you know, you'd have some in North America that'd be like, the T-Rexes, and then you'd have something in South America, which is bigger than a T-Rex,

because, you know, if they'd been in America, they would have been, let's eat the T-Rex. Right. Right. Same thing with marsupials, I guess, too, because, like I said, most of them are, at least the ones I know are in that part of the world. Australia, the Tasmanian Devil, I think, is a marsupial, which is on an island. Yep. It's the only place in the world that it is.

Obviously, kangaroos are probably the most famous marsupial. Wallabees. I would have thought you would have gotten into Bandicoots. I don't know why you just seem like a bandicoot man to me. Bandicoots are not native to Tennessee, sir. I would like you'll know that. Right. Oh, so it's to Tennessee.

It's like the Memphis. You're rep in Memphis when you have a possum. I really like that. Look, I didn't expect any of this possum thing to happen to me. After the posth we took it wasn't like, you know what? Let me go get a possum. That wasn't my thing. It wasn't like, hey, no, it was just like there was a baby possum in my house.

And we caught him finally using Pancho's cheese dip. And that's how we called him. he hangs out and sits on your shoulder like a furry parrot. Okay. I don't, I don't, it's, possums are like,

are like a tragic tale in a lot of ways about how. They really illustrate how people, like, we just unabashedly base things entirely upon, like, aesthetics or cuteness. What I mean is like a possum is an objectively harmless and actually beneficial creature,

right? But it looks like a little trash monster. monster to most people. So they're like, get it out of here. You know what I mean? Like people are afraid of them just because they don't find them to be cute necessarily. As I said, just like a homeless dude. You clean up a homeless dude. You just look like a regular dude.

I'm starting to understand why I identify this possum so much too. I'm always appreciated possums, you know. I mean, look, the only time I ever had a problem with the possible when that person would attack me. The other one, I mean, when this one showed him in my house. He was a baby. I'm just like, oh, he's adorable. We have to protect him. And that's it. That's it. I mean, yeah. It's the same with homeless dudes.

One guy tried to throw his piss at me in New York. But other than that, it's always been cool as hell. Yeah. This episode, and we're not done yet, but what an incredible curveball this has been for me. Drew, who about you? You first came on. I was like, we're going to be talking about a lot of comedy stuff. And I do still want to ask you some comedy questions. But, man, I had no idea that you were the possum man and that the possum stuff was coming and uh it's been uh it's been a very pleasant surprise i'm glad i could give you some information sir yeah i have a question that's about a different topic but it's a segue and let's go let's do that oh yeah right after this all right so mo on youtube everybody's going to see us not take a break but on the podcast

version of it there'll be an ad plugged in right there right right all right we're back drew you got a You got a segue for us, get us off the possums, because otherwise we'll be here all day, just talking possum stuff. I'll use the possums as a segue to get into it. And Mo, feel free to say that you don't want to talk about this because it's personal, but you talk about it on stage. So I think you're cool with it. You have more than one girlfriend openly. They know about each other. It's not like a secret thing.

And you've already referenced one loving the possum. Do they both love the possums? Or is it like the family's getting along with the possums? Now, a lot of people want to know How would a man ever find two girlfriends moving around as much as you do? But I really want to know how you find two who are cool with possums

because I'm married and she don't like possums. I've met your wife. She would love Poncho if she met Poncho and Blanca. She would love them. She would try to kidnap Blanca because everyone does. She's like, I'm just going to take this little possum home. My life is very weird. I have no problem saying that.

How do I find two women? who like possums because they both do they're just like oh they're adorable i mean i go to we all go to each other helms and uh it's going to get weird if you really want to hear it because one of them is married and her husband is one of my best friends and is that poly amory is that yes yeah i'm about so you're you're a poly you're in a whole polly thing yes i am okay all in Memphis no okay across the world now if you don't want to talk about it but i'm very interested in it and in a, I think, a non-judgmental way. Because to me, it's like any way you can find happiness, find it, number one.

Number two, every joke people make about polyamory, I'm like, I laugh, and I'm like, that's true. That's also true of my marriage. Every fucking thing y'all say about it. You're just talking about relationships, you know? Uh-oh. Uh-oh. You froze for a second? You're back now, baby.

You can hear you? You got us? He can't hear us, can he? I bet he's on a delay now, and if he is, I'll have to kick him back in. You're good now? I'm good. I love you. No, you're good on our end.

So if you're good, we're good. So anyway, Polly Amory. Yeah. I was just saying that everything I've heard about, like every joke or every negative comment, I'm like, that's true, but it applies to my relationship, too. You know what I mean? Like, you're just talking about relationships, you know what I mean? It's not specific to this other than the scheduling. Well, is that something you fell into, like comedy, or is that something you specifically

we're trying to get into. I think it was something that I just fell into because I had been in monogamous relationship for all the time, and it always seemed not to work properly. And then I started hanging out with my friend's wife, which was cool. And she, I mean, we're all very open about everything. And then me and my current, my Shandry, you met in. up hanging out and doing stuff together and it became just the thing it's just yeah do you find being a comic on the road all the time does this make it somewhat easier because it's not one person relying on

one person like you know i just imagine it's it's easier to be gone for eight weeks when the person you're leaving behind has another partner uh you know i try to talk to everybody as much as i he really can. Sure. But it, yeah, I mean, because when we go back, when we go back to Memphis, we'll recover for a few days, then we'll take a trip over to Nashville and hang out and see people. I just feel like Possum Polyamory is the next great show on TLC or A&A. I love that.

I love that. Erase this segment right now and copyright that now right now. You got that one. That's all you. You can also name your second album Bandicooter when you did. my seventh album then this is the first one on this this current one is the first one

that's on stand-up records yeah I meant to stay next my fault I know you've it's okay well since we've since it's organically come up once you tell people about the album a little bit because we want to make sure to make a point

of doing that while you're here thank you sir my album is known the new album is called mothpossum blues it talks about the possum some attack and all other horrible things that pissed me off in the world right now. I mean, well, when we record the album.

There's a bit that you can, we talk about everything from school shootings to me joining the Klan accidentally because that happened when I was drunk one night in Vegas. I am happy it's on the album, but God damn, I want to hear it. I'm going to have to go listen right now. Yeah, go get the album so you need to, because seriously, it's real because we got drunk one night and long you they used to have I don't want to talk about where the site is but there's a site online

that allows you to join online and apparently you don't need a photo ID so because I hey I literally have I literally have a clan card drew I'm not kidding I can't believe you didn't show me that I don't absolutely upset with you you know what because I I started

carrying one of those little tiny wallets I always have it in my backpack it's always in my backpack in the other a wallet that I don't want to carry. I'm a tiny wallet guy. Yeah, so I don't want to carry that thing with me, though. But there was this one night we were in Meta, Louisiana and these,

it was a horrible show. Actually, I take the bag, the fun show, except for these like eight guys who were not listening at all. They were playing darts. And when I talked about joining the clan, that's when they stopped playing darts and paid attention to me. And was laughing their ass off. All of them

came up and bought merch this night. And the last dude, the last dude, pulled out his clan card. It shows me his. Like trying to scare me a little bit. And I pulled up my clan card. And I outranked him. So I had to be the dude. Yeah, bitch. Export me out of his faithly.

Don't make me call headquarters. Don't make me call headquarters. Man, that's hilarious. I want to show everybody the picture. My life is completely weird, dude. You got a little bit. I don't, 99% of my acting. Picking up on it, dude. Huh?

Yeah. He said we're picking up on that. I mean, you know. Yeah, 99% of my acts is 100% true. I don't really have to make up stuff. It's just so weird. And, yeah, and I just don't even know how to begin. I just, all the things are true.

The possum attack. All kinds of weird stuff that happens to me. And I'm just like, write it down and I talk about it on state. I wish that I could talk to my grandfather's rest in peace. One particular one in particular. And just be like, hey, I know this comedian. He's got pet possums.

He's got multiple girlfriends, and he's in the clan. And he would be like, it's about time we have something in common, Drew. And then I would bring him to your show and he would shit himself. I want to show everybody this picture real quick. I tried. I love that picture. I know that's a horrible way to do it. I try to do screen share mode.

I wasn't supposed to host today. And it's making me restart Chrome. Okay. I do that. I got to kick everybody out. That's why I can't share it. But guys, go look up Mo Possum Blues. Hold up. Show that picture again real quick.

Show a picture once in ten, please. Yep, one second. There we go. Trey, can you see that? Yeah, you're riding a possum. That's poncho. Oh, that's actually poncho? That's actually poncho, yes.

That's actually Ponsch is a Possible. Got a little personal touch in there. Yeah, I like it. We didn't Photoshop just any Possum. That's Ponson. Well, that's tremendous. I want to, so I was already going to ask you this. it's a very generic question, but I genuinely want to know the answer, though, as a comedian.

You've been a road dog for, you know, for so many years. I'm just wondering what the wildest shit, if you had to pick one thing from all your time on the road, either at a show or right after or before something involving a show and a comedian or a crowd member, any of that, anything comedy related, the wildest shit that you had go down or so. Okay, so back in 99, I used to tour as Keenan every wins, right? And the day I got that gig, I'm in, I want to say, Waco, Texas. That's what I want to say. I can't remember exactly we're in Texas.

But me and another comic, we walked in ahead of time just to see, you know, check out the room. And the gal's like, hey, I asked the guy, hey, man, who was here last week? He's like, oh, some other colored guy. It'll be okay. He'll be up for a night. I'm like, okay, this is going to be a problem. This is going to be a problem. So that night at the show, it's packed.

It's a packed show. and this one woman would not shut up. And, you know, drunk white women are the one people. You cannot shut up. Absolutely. You don't get how mean you get. They get them. Yep.

And I finally just lost it. And it's like, I called her the C word. And I know. I probably concurred you about it once. I called her the C word. And this other woman jumps up from- Wait, hold on. I'm sorry, actually.

The four-letter C-word or the seven- seven letters say word. She's white, right? Is it seven letters see word? What are you? Cracker. Oh, God. You're like, no, I'd say crack.

I tell you two crackers. I called her a cracker. I'm going to fun. I call a bitch of townhouse. I don't care. No, I called it the four-letter word. Yeah, yeah. And the other woman jumps up out of nowhere.

Like, hey, man, you can't call her that. Only another woman can call her that. And I was like, all right, bitch. call her that and she did and the whole room she was like shut up god i was like oh god i just that's all that's all the white women who listen to our podcast that's ally ship that's what we're talking about that's what i'm talking about right there that woman had my back and told that other bitch he was like look you're going to shut the hell up he's funny and i'm like okay this is this is one of these nights right the fact that she first the fact that she started with like

you ain't allowed to do that only another woman can do that. And then that she backed it up by doing that or whatever is, I mean, you couldn't script that any better. That's great. It was just perfect. I'm just like,

I actually love my life. And then I called Kenan back. I was like, yes, I will take the gig, get me out of here. Yeah. What's the worst,

like most hell gig, you know, everybody has hell gigs if you had to pick one. Scar on your soul. Huh. The worst hell gig. Okay. Okay.

Knoxville, Tennessee. Trey Crowder and Drew Morgan were opening for me on a boat. Don't ever talk about that boat gig. Never talk about that boat gig. Yeah, dude. No, the worst gig ever. There's a couple guys named, you know Dare Rhodes and Reverend Billy Seward. Do you guys know those guys at all?

Old school dudes, old school dudes. We used to do a show together. It was Reverend Billy Seward. Darrell Rhodes, Sad Show Benny, and myself doing a thing we put together called Midnight in the Garden of Evil Caneval. And we did a show in

Florida, I want to say Melbourne, Florida. We were in Melbourne, Florida. And Reverend Billy is like this musical act, but he's not at Weird Al, but he makes his own songs. Anyway, he's very funny dude, very could do. And it was a 3,000-seat Room.

I don't know. Just kidding. Sorry, I'm going to be, I don't be wrong. 1,500 seat room, 1500 seat theater. First show went wonderful.

I'm hosting back then, okay? I'm hosting the show. Second show comes out. And I start in, and out of 1,500 people, probably 800 are all yelling nigger at me. Jesus Christ.

Yes. Yes. This is the second show in the same venue. This is the second show and the first venue. First venue, everything was fine. First venue, standing ovation,

second show. second show they're chanting it they're chanting it somebody starts this chant at me and it goes and yeah it starts and it's like i don't know how many people start doing it and i walk off stage and reverend billy comes back out on stage and said and they all start clapping for him it's like uh-uh biches uh-uh you just insulted my little brother and he started kicking whole segments of the audience out he was like y'all out the security was taking the way y'all out and he just did this for like five minutes. It's like, now the rest of you bitch, you want to see this show like it's supposed to be.

Y'all bring it back up for my brother Moe Alexander and I was just shaking. I was shaking mad. And I wasn't scared. I was just mad. I'm just like, really, really? This is what's going to happen here? Huh? Okay.

And yeah, that's my, that's the biggest hell game. That's the biggest. I mean, that's hard to top that, I would imagine. Mailborne Florida, is that, where is that in relation to some other Florida city? Like Cocoa B. It's on the coast. It's on the Atlantic side. It's near the space coast.

It's right around there. All right. Trash. Trash. Not lot redneck trash. Not like the belt. Like that Orlando type, but like the outskirts. Yeah.

I played football in college with about seven dudes from Melbourne. And some of them were cool dudes, but they would say it's a shitty place. It is. It really is. I was, dude. I have never had more trauma. in any show ever. All right. Well, yeah, well, that's, again, yeah, I'd say that's hard to type.

Well, listen, this has been wonderful. Like I said, I was so blindsided. Not that you were wonderful. I expected that. But the subject matter, I had no idea. And I think our well-read listeners will feel the same way. It's been great to have you, Mo. But before we close up here, you know, let everybody know how they can get the album,
