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 skewniverse, 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 in response to?
What was that a reply gift for?
Just when I did something stupid.
Something fat, I think, and stupid.
Something both fat and stupid.
But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still
paying for it and forgotten.
If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out.
So shout out to them.
They help.
If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help.
So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket
Money.

So go to trackrouter.com for that.
And yeah, that's about it, I guess.
Can you hear him?
You're muted, right?
You're muted.
Mutes, sir.
I don't know how I did that.
I don't know how I got muted.
Is that better?
I didn't even know.
I didn't hear you now.
Me and DJ and Carmen Morales's new podcast,
Gravy Baby, was supposed to launch in the beginning of September.
We've had some, how do you say this without?
We'll say somebody in our group has had some light medical issues that's postponed in us.
But we will be launching that.
You can go to drew Morgancom.com for my dates.
I just added Atlanta, some town outside Atlanta that I can't think of right now.
Is there a Buford, Georgia, Corey?
Yeah.
You're doing the Buford Theater?
I doubt it.
And then I'm going to be in.
It's not a big theater.
It's not a big theater, if that's what you were saying that about.
It's called the Buford Variety Theater.
It's one of the first place.
It's the first place that I ever featured.
I featured for Cousin Ricky Pyrton.
This is 12 years ago.
And we had to share the same hotel room because, you know, I was getting paid $7.
And that is where cousin Ricky sitting on his bed, he was reading a Russian newspaper.
And he looked at me and he goes, I'm telling you, son, this Putin's going to be trouble.
12 years ago and it filled me in on all that.
If only we'd listen to Cousin Ricky.
How many times if I said that in my life about various Cousin Rickies?
That was it.
That was all I wanted to plug.
Gravy Baby will be out soon.
I hope we've got a producer.
We've just, yeah, like I said, it's one of those things where I don't want to like put
somebody else's business in the streets, but like we've had something that we can't help.
We've got to deal with and then we'll get it out.
Technically difficulties, I believe.
We'll just call that.
They are technically difficulties.
Dude, so I was walking through my kitchen a little bit ago before this podcast,
wanting to make myself a light snack so that I'm not completely weighed down,
so I have some natural energy for this show.
And I walk past my fireplace that I have in my kitchen.
And I just, I was like, is that whiskey?
Like, I smell whiskey.
And we don't have any alcohol in our house right now.
And I was like, I sort of got to smell whiskey.
And I go back and I look and at the bottom of this barrel where we keep some things,
and apple had fallen down in there.
And this apple has been down there so long that it has started to ferment, right?
Which made me remember, like, how wild that whole process is.
But then also made me think, like, that is just how that be.
Like, why don't, why didn't more of us do that when we was young, dumbasses,
stealing liquor out of our parents' cabinet?
Like, why aren't more people making wine?
You could go blind.
What?
What?
What?
The fermentation process, and I'm going to speak on this, and it's going to be one of those things where I sound like I know what I'm talking about,
and then someone's going to be like, ah, you were 80% right.
But the part of the reason I know is we did this in biology class in high school,
and I actually have a really funny story about that.
But to answer your question,
The byproducts of the distilled of when you distill liquor, among them are types of not alcohols.
It's like ethanol, methanol, all this other shit.
And some of them can really fuck you up.
And I'm pretty certain that if you just put some fruit and some yeast in some water, you'd be fine.
But like that's probably, at the very least, the belief that you'd go blind.
Yeah, right.
Like you used to off cheap moonshine is probably what prevented us.
Also, we was dumb.
Yeah, well, the dumb part is why we would have done it even thinking maybe it'd make us go blind, I guess.
Well, right.
It's a real weird, it's a tiny, tiny Venn diagram of smart enough to think of that, but dumb enough to do it even though it's dangerous.
And his name is off-caps, and I got a story for you.
Go ahead, Trey.
I definitely was intimidate, or I don't even know if intimidate is right.
I don't think it occurred to us that we could do that.
But didn't you know somebody, didn't you know somebody that always had homemade wine and shit?
Thompson's mom made wine, but dude, but it didn't seem easy.
To make it well, it's not easy.
In prison, they make a toilet wine.
Turlet wine, right.
That's hard though because of, because they don't have access to a store.
you could easily get drunk off fermented fruit and yeast.
I don't know the exact details of how much of the,
I think it's methanol that makes you go blind.
In the distillation process,
it comes off at a different temperature.
You've got to evaporate it off first.
That's why they throw away the first gallon.
So in high school ball.
What's that?
That's a name for that, isn't it?
Yeah.
The stank.
Or the, something mash.
Yeah, mash.
That's what it is, something mash.
Stank mash.
Not sour mash, right?
That's not what we're talking about.
That's, um, man, I used to know a lot of stuff.
That's like the mess that starts the process of becoming whiskey, right?
Like the grain and whatever else is.
Just went on a tour of distillery recently, but I don't, I forgot it all as soon as we left.
Yeah, same.
So it was, it was actually chemistry.
It definitely has a name.
You're right.
There's a name for the thing you're talking about.
There's a name for every.
step in that goddamn process.
And that's what I'm saying to, having looked into the tiny bit that I have,
it's never once struck me as like,
damn, why don't we just do that?
Yeah, right.
Because it's pretty hard to me.
Right, you could also drink rubbing alcohol.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
I guess it's just because, like, when I walked by and picked up that apple,
it smelled as though I could get drunk off that apple.
So, definitely that happens.
I know animals, animals get drunk.
Fruit bats get fucked up.
Off of that.
Dude, that pig, remember that internet video?
That old boy walks up on his pig and he's like, what's wrong with you?
And he like pushes it and it just rolls all the way down the hill because it's hammered drunk off like fermented pears or whatever.
That's one of my favorite internet videos of all time.
There's a tree in Africa where the fruit ferments quickly and all the animals go there and get fucked up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It sounds like Amoron.
line, hurry.
It might be like a Rulo.
Anyway, a quick story.
High school chemistry, Johnny Jones, rest in peace,
one of the greatest teachers ever be in the halls of Sunbrite high school,
took a Spelunkin, was rad as hell.
I'll never forget when we were doing Global Warming and one of those kids.
Even back then, kids were like, you really think, you know,
we're going to fuck up to Earth beyond blah, blah, blah.
And he goes, oh, no, not at all.
Earth will be fine, but we're going to fucking die.
And he said fucking, and it hit real hard.
But anyway, he realized to keep our attention, like letting us make booze would keep our attention.
We would learn every step in the process.
And what he said was, we're going to skip the step to where we separate what makes you go blind from the actual alcohol.
So we made moonshine, but according to him, it was dangerous moonshine.
I get what he's doing there.
It's like he's teaching kids to make moonshine, but he's like, but I'm not.
because I leave out the crucial step that keeps it from killing them.
But it's like, okay, but aren't you worried that maybe they'll kill themselves with it?
Like if they just, if they try it anyway, and they're like, damn, we don't know the kill yourself part.
Like, I could just see this backfiring is all I'm saying.
So there towards the end, and you know, that's the other thing about it.
It's a four-week process or whatever.
So that's another reason he wants to do it.
And we're learning every step of the way, right?
The yeast, the excretion, blah, blah, blah.
Distillation process, all that.
We get there towards the end, and we've been talking about it the whole time.
And Austin comes in one day.
Austin is an engineer at Denzo now.
So maybe he was paying attention.
But Austin comes in and he goes,
Boyce, you really think this man would put poison in the back of this class
knowing we might drink it.
And we go blind?
He's bluffing.
Johnny Jones is bluffing.
And Matt Olmsted goes,
man, that was really good at chemistry.
It was like the only thing he gave a fuck about it.
I think his dad was a chemist.
Anyway, he's like,
was it like a real chemist?
Yeah, right.
Like a trailer chemist.
No, dude, he worked over in Oakley.
My uncle Bubbles was a trailer chemist,
my fact.
No, he worked over at a bridge.
But he said, I'm pretty sure Austin's right.
Like during this, I think he lied.
And he like was walking us through.
He's like, I'm pretty sure he distilled this the proper way.
And I thought it when he was doing it.
But Matt wouldn't drink it.
He's like, but I ain't drinking it.
Austin's like, I'm fucking drinking it.
So we waited until he hit the period before ours, Johnny had.
had no students and would leave.
He would like go walking or whatever.
And anyway, that was third period.
That was a fourth period of class.
It was when we were on the block scheduling.
We got housed.
We were drunk when he got to class.
And the other bluff Austin called,
Austin in some ways as a genius,
was he was like, even if he knows,
he cannot tell Anna.
He can't, no, because then he provided for a minor.
Yeah.
So we got hammered.
I went to baseball practice.
Were y'all like shoving it in his face and stuff?
I have no idea if he knew or not.
Austin and Brandon were, you know, regular drinkers.
Brian can't get drunk.
Brian never could get drunk.
I mean, not like physically, Brian would never change.
He would just be, get quieter as the evening progressed.
But I've never seen Brian stumble or slur.
I probably was showing my ass.
I don't remember.
I know I showed it at baseball practice.
My baseball coach sent me home.
that is not a sport to play drunk that's for sure
it may it's a man I about got hit in the face with a pop fly
yeah I was fucked up
not that any sport is a game to play drunk
but like in basketball you can just kind of like I don't know
keep to yourself a little bit but
golf you puking basketball though
golf yeah yeah for sure but like baseball like if you're
drunk on third because you care too much about the game
playing golf run yeah I don't
drink when I play anymore.
Used to, I did.
And then really what it is for me is, is this not, this isn't a golf specific thing.
Did you like, I'm out of tea?
You're like, who is this motherfucker?
I changed.
I changed my relationship.
I did.
Well, I did, but like, my thing is now is if there's an activity, used to, I would drink during
every activity.
And now I don't drink during activities that I otherwise enjoy because I'm like, well,
I already like this.
So I don't need to dump.
alcohol on it. I drink during things. The only way. Amber listened to, he stay drunk when he
fucking me. Yeah. Everything he does with Amber, he's hammered. Yeah. When I go to like her family
events and shit and like anything that like wouldn't hit for me, I'm like, let's dump alcohol on
this and it'll hit. But then like when I was playing golf, like, yeah, I did start caring too much.
And like when you get a little decent at golf, it is way more fun than when you suck, you know.
And so I was like, I'm actually like I'm having a good time just playing playing golf. So I don't want to risk a
B-U-I and feel hung over.
But yes, I admit that I've changed and not necessarily for the better.
Well, it's certainly less fun.
Yeah, way less fun.
So I wanted to talk a little bit about music-related topics today, if y'all are into that, some music stuff.
So let's get into music right after this.
All right.
Are you doing the thing?
I tried, and it came in late.
Did you hear it?
as I was talking now.
All right.
Well, so first of all, I just want to say,
just because this is such a novel experience for me at this stage of my life,
y'all know I've talked about having early onset papal
where I just can't get into new music anymore.
I don't,
I have no desire to.
The only music I ever listen to is shit that I already know hits for me.
And I get almost exhausted.
And from artists,
new music from new,
from artists that already hit for you.
I really,
We don't even do that anymore, honestly.
I'm not kidding.
So if Isible drops in you when you're not going to listen to it?
Possibly not.
Word.
It wouldn't surprise me.
Right.
It wouldn't surprise me.
Like, I don't, I just don't, no, it's got to already have hit status for me or I just don't want it in my life.
Right.
You don't have time for it.
No, I'm just, again, it's just pap, it's also just I listen to so many podcasts and stuff.
We've had all this conversation already before, but.
Yeah, I don't listen to as much music as I used to.
Yeah, I just don't listen as much music, period.
So when I do listen to music, I don't want to roll the dice on will this hit for me or not.
Two minutes it takes to listen to a new song, Drew.
Two minutes.
No, that ain't got it.
That's not true.
So, I mean, sometimes, I mean, I guess different people are different.
But, like, I'd love to join you, but you don't even drink playing golf.
Y'all are hitting me with, like, a lot of likes.
Sometimes.
We don't like stuff no more, boys.
Sometimes a new song immediately, you're like, oh, that's my jam.
that's true.
But a lot of times, especially a new band and stuff,
you have to listen to them a bunch to really decide,
to really decide like,
and I feel like it's a commitment and I just ain't got it.
I know if I hate something immediately,
but the difference between this is fine and this is my jam,
it's like it's got to get in my,
I'm not musical enough.
The melody has to get in my brain.
Yeah, I agree with that.
If I listen to something,
I know within five seconds if I hate it,
but I don't know within five seconds,
if I love it.
Unless it's a rap song,
and in five seconds,
I can definitely tell if I love it.
So another thing that we've talked about here before,
we talked about how,
like,
we do morning radio at a rock station,
right?
And it's like,
K-rock, 93.7, you know,
or whatever it is.
Davey and the butt.
Yeah, right.
And every time we're at a rock station,
the songs we hear them playing
are the same songs that rock stations were playing
when we were in like high school and college and stuff.
It's like shit from the 2000s.
It's still like nickel back and fucking three days grace and shit like that.
Three doors down, dude.
It's three doors down.
Dude,
I love all that fucking robot shit.
I love three doors down.
I love it all.
But like,
but it's like in my head,
I'm like,
is they're not,
it's rock just,
it just ain't a thing no more.
It got totally superseded.
But so I say all that to say,
last Thursday with a friend,
of the show Travis Irvine.
Hey.
He, uh, he, uh, he co-hosts the Abe Lincoln's Top Hat podcast on the last
podcast network.
Yeah.
And I, uh, was a guest on their Thursday.
And afterwards, me and him met up with y'all know Ed Larson and.
Oh, yeah.
And some other comics.
And it was Ed's idea.
Ed's a super rad dude.
You know, he's been on the show too before.
Uh, to go see this band, uh, in downtown L.A.
called Black Pistol Fire.
And I'd never heard of them at all.
And when I tell you that they fucking rock hard,
like it ain't nothing but hard rocking shit.
There's no, there's no, there's no, like,
they ain't no goddamn DJ element to it.
Yeah, they go hard.
They just rock and it's two dudes, two dudes.
Really?
Electric guitar and drums?
They're kind of black,
yeah, electric guitar and drums.
They're kind of black keysy, sort of.
But, and I, you know, I saw them live and live shows are different.
For sure.
But, like, very different.
But I immediately, as soon as I started going in, I was like, oh, I haven't.
I literally didn't know that shit like this was still being made or performed or whatever out there.
Other than, like, old bands that still tour.
Do you know what I mean?
I didn't know.
These were like younger dudes.
I think they'd been around for like 10 years or something.
But anyway,
that's young in the rock game.
I could not remember
the last time that I had
been bought.
The shows I,
the only shows I've been to in recent years
are like,
you know,
like go and see the truckers
or going to see Elizabeth Cook
or go.
And those are fucking great.
Of course they're great.
But, you know,
like I had no idea who this band was.
It was like being at Bonnaroo
and walking up to a tent or something.
Right.
And I hadn't done something like that in a really long time,
especially and not,
then have it super hip for me.
You know, I'm trying to...
Did this change your outlook?
I ain't...
Listen, listen, listen this.
I'm glad you said that.
Exception that proves the rule, bitch.
I'm glad you said that
because I was going to say this anyway,
but I'd already forgotten, I'm pretty sure.
I ain't listened to a second of that band
since Thursday night.
I thought they were great, great.
I ain't listened to them one time, not once.
That's so funny because...
Sure was a kick-ass show.
The reason I thought to ask that is I walked up on a band at Barnaroo called All of Them Witches,
which similarly rocked.
There was no frills about it.
It was 70s.
And I was like, in my head, I was like, oh, I'm about to say that and tell Trey, you should also check out this band.
And then I was like, I'm not going to tell me to check out this band.
That's a waste of my time.
It is.
Dude, I almost just, I was about to make funny you thinking that I was going to come in here with some like, dude, I fucking, you know, I don't mean, I don't, I don't.
to as much music anymore, but I'm, I'm always listening to new stuff and just seeing,
dude, for real, the last artist that someone turned me onto that I didn't know who they were
before and rock with is fucking Tyler Childers. Like, that was the last, that was the last one.
Like, since then, I'm kind of, I didn't, now I'm not being. Pretty much mine too, I think.
I'm not being as like up front pap all about it. I'm just now realizing this about me. See,
you go a step further. You know you're wrong and you're like, feet.
firmly planted in the fucking ground.
Appal style.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, God damn it.
No.
But I'm just now realizing like there definitely has to be so many instances of,
because it's not like in the past five, six years,
people haven't been like, you need to listen to this.
And I've just been, mm, mm, mm, no.
Right.
Not any, nope, that ain't it.
I don't want it.
Just fucking good fellas every night till I die.
That's it.
Yeah.
So, anyway, I just wanted to shout out that,
band and bring that back up a little bit.
But also, I want to know, are y'all aware of the thing that killed Billy Squire's career?
Billy Squire, like, uh, like, um, Stroke me, Stroke me.
And, and also, my angel is the Cinephode.
No, that's, uh, no.
That was Jay Giles, man.
That's Jay Giles.
You're right.
Okay, okay.
What was it somebody maybe, can we guess?
Some stroking him?
Y'all don't like immediately.
Y'all, y'all remember stroke me, right?
Yeah, of course I remember stroked me.
Because I'm saying, was that what ended him?
Was somebody stroking him and she was 12?
And also, my kind of, my kind of lover.
He had some jazz.
And of course.
Like the genre faded and he didn't have it.
This is, this is, I'm very happy about this right now.
His wonderful mashup with 50 cent, uh, magic stick.
What?
What was, what I don't.
You don't remember.
Magic stick by 50 cents.
That was,
that was,
that was stroke me in the back.
They did a,
they did that mashup.
It was like when the Jay Z.
Lincoln Park shit first came out and they did one with 50 cents and Billy,
Billy Squire.
Was it like that or did somebody just,
what's the word?
Somebody did it,
but like it was authorized by both of them because it played on the radio.
You know what I'm saying?
Like it was an official release.
So,
no,
it's none of that.
It's pretty hilarious.
Racist?
In my opinion.
then no.
Because you could be racist back then.
Homophobic.
But in a, so, I mean,
but in a funny one, everybody knows, yeah, yes,
because of when it happened,
everybody knows where we stand on the gays.
He ain't gay.
Right.
We're fucking beating around the bush here.
Can you,
can you screen share on this new thing we use, Corey?
Yeah, yeah, I can.
YouTube, if I'm correct, no audio, no audio.
You don't need to hear the song.
YouTube will copyright whatever this,
but all that means is they shouldn't take the video down.
They shouldn't take the whole podcast down.
I don't think if there's no sound because it's a music video.
In 1984,
he released a music video for a single off of his most recent album,
Signs of Life was the album.
The single was called Rock Me Tonight.
The album was doing well on the charts.
He was kicking ass yet again.
And then, you know, it was the halcyondees of MTV.
MTV was huge.
So he's got to, and then the video debuts for his lead single,
Rob Me Tonight.
And if you can show that video, Corey, I would like everybody to see it.
And if people are only listening, then you should go look up the video to Rob Me Tonight.
Can you say this?
Yeah.
No, stop it, stop it, stop it.
Yeah, mute it.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
You can see that, though?
Yeah, let's just run some commentary while this plays.
Yeah, definitely looks.
like a soft core porn movie from that same era.
For sure.
He woke up a little disheveled.
He's putting on his Jesus Christ of Nazareth brand Levi jeans.
Yeah.
And then,
yeah,
he's suiting up.
Oh,
yeah,
he looks like he's ready to get physical,
right?
Yes, he is,
Olivia Newton-John stuff.
Olivia Newton-John style physical.
Here we go.
This looks like that Mick Jagger,
David Bowie shit.
I know.
And I was going to bring that video up for sure.
But so basically...
He looks French.
He does.
And that's another word for it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, okay.
Let's get into physics.
So is this moment in time when Mick Jagger's dancing stopped being very macho and started being perceived as what I think you're about to tell?
I have so many questions about this because like on the one hand it seems like it makes sense, but on the other hand it doesn't seem like it makes sense.
it makes sense.
So basically, the way Billy Squire, so according to Billy Squire, this video comes out,
and overnight, he goes from selling out arenas to they're like a quarter full.
And he's back in Rock Club.
He said overnight, his ticket sales fell off a clip.
Oh, he says pink on.
Yeah, you can't do that.
He says that his career never recovered after the moment this video debuted.
He also, of course, says that he was talked into doing this video by his people and the director and he didn't want to and all that's, you know, whatever.
Is this an homage to something?
I'll tell you this.
If he didn't want to do this, he is acting his ass off.
Yeah, right.
He's really selling it.
Yeah.
It is genuinely wild.
Do you guys know what I mean that he is dancing like Mick Jagger, but Mick Jagger looks manly and he, I have to say, does not.
Because Mick Jagger puts his face into the, um,
but,
but,
all right.
Okay.
So it killed his career overnight.
The reason being Billy Squire and everybody else thinks that like,
Billy Squire was like,
he was like a rock dude.
He fucking rocks.
And all the rock dudes are like,
what the fuck is this fru-frew,
furry shoo-hury.
Acting all French.
acting all French, you know, queer.
He looks Belgian now that he changed into the paint.
He's dancing queer in that video.
We can't go to his show.
As opposed to the manly way to dance.
I don't know.
I don't know anything about this.
I have a question.
Was he like
badass leather?
Like, is it homophobic?
Or is it like this dude's lame now?
So here's what,
on the one hand, I'm like, yeah,
it was the 80s.
AIDS is coming on strong.
Homophobia is raging out of control, right?
it makes sense.
But then I'm like, but on the other hand, fucking Queen,
Mick Jagger and David Bowie.
They were grandfathered in though.
They were fucking everybody knew.
And like that dude, that Mick Jagger hits like a motherfucker.
But that video.
Oh, dude.
That video of him and David Bowie dancing in the street.
It's something else.
It ain't no better than this video.
It's arguably worse.
The two dudes that are in it.
It's arguably worse.
Way better than Billy Squire.
So I don't, there was a lot of gay shit going on in the 80s,
which had... Androgyny was huge.
Yeah, I love that huge.
So it's wild to me that killed his career, but my understanding of it, such that it is.
This was two years where any of us were born.
But, like, is that, yeah, it was because he was in a different style of...
He was in, like, macho.
He was a macho rock guy.
Right.
And then this came out, and people were just like, well, that ain't it.
You also...
But it's just, I just think it's kind of...
I feel bad for him, because I like some of Billy Squire's songs.
Super don't hit this happened to him and it's unfair,
but like it's also pretty hilarious.
I mean, look at this fucking, look what he doing over here.
You also got a test.
You also got a contextualize.
He's kicking the symbol.
You also got to contextualize.
People might have seen this who were into the macho rock
and then just been like, ah, this is gay.
And then people look back on that now, read the articles.
And they're like, oh, homophobia killed it.
It was like, no, they hated his turn for what they considered lame.
And then their homophobia changed how they commented on what he did.
Right.
Like if he'd have been like this out the gate and successful, it's like that could.
But right, it's like when Dylan went electric man.
You know, it's just not what the people wanted.
They were used to a certain thing.
There's some hippie in the background.
This is queer.
By the way, Trey, I got to tell you, when you first said Billy Squires,
career was ended because of homophobia.
I thought that it was going to be because, like, he drug someone behind his truck in
Nebraska, you know what I mean?
Which is what I would have had to have done to be canceled in the 80s.
I was talking about it was funny.
Yeah, right.
You still thought I was going that direction?
That would have been wild.
I didn't know.
I was like, okay, I'm sure.
Maybe he was wearing a funny hat when it happened, you know?
Like, I don't know.
I thought it might have been much lighter than Corey's example.
something that was ironically funny or something,
but I definitely thought it was his own homophobia.
But as I think about it,
no funny homophobia would get you canceled pre like 90s, 8.
So it would have had to have been gnarly or we should have known is what I'm saying, Trey.
But I bet you he was at least homophobic for a little bit after them tickets stop selling.
Well, here's what's extra funny.
It's arguable that it is.
Really? Corey saw his shirt and was like, oh, homophobia against him.
It took me, it took me like four seconds.
I was still like, damn, this guy was homophobic?
I mean, he should probably.
Yeah. Well, it's like.
Like in a Lindsey Graham way, apparently.
I mean, do you think homophobic is like accurate?
Because like, it could be more like lame or like, he's a sissy.
Yeah, right, right, right.
Because he's wearing pink and dancing around.
It wasn't anybody thought he was gay or it was like, and so it wasn't.
Yeah, I think homophobic people.
It's just like, oh, it's, it's sissy.
I was about to say there's a different stuff he's doing.
It's toxic masculinity, right?
There you go.
And inside of that is, and also pink's gay, you know what I mean?
Right.
Yeah, right.
But there's like, actually alluded to this.
I didn't know if I'm looking at this article about the experience.
It says, Billy Squire still read, talks about his career being murdered by this video.
And it says, Billy Squire is still relevant today.
he's one of the all-time most sampled artist in hip-hop.
Thanks to a series of rhythm tracks from his late drummer, Bobby Shunard.
M&M is Sampled Squire songs, the legendary 1890 classic, The Big Beat.
The Singers, 1980 Classic, The Big Beat is one of the most sampled songs of all time.
Big Daddy Kane said,
Billy Squire is definitely someone who helped mold and shape hip-hop with his music.
I would put him in the category of James Brown, the honey drippers, and chic.
I'll be God damn.
Big Daddy Kane said that, though.
Big Daddy Kane don't waste breath.
About Billy Squire.
And like, fuck all that.
I'm pretty sure. I'm gay shit.
Like, this is, you know, that would carry me to the grave.
Also, if that's true.
I'm pretty sure Funkadelic and Earthwind and Fire are the only people that are above James
Brown.
So, like, that's like literally right up against the top tier.
I want to ask real quick, Tray, can you spell his drummer?
Summers last name.
Shoot,
I mean,
it was just in front of my face.
Do you think,
do you think Bobby Schmter?
Is it a play on that?
It's C-H-O-U-I-N-A-R-D.
Okay, no.
No.
No.
No.
And so they may not even be pronounced Shunard.
I don't know.
So,
I know there was a period of time
before some lawsuits
turned it into the way it is now.
There was a period of time
where, like, rappers would just sample
and no royalties got to anybody
and it became a big thing.
But then they stop that.
It's like about that right now and it's rad.
Oh, word?
Netflix, yeah.
Okay, so you definitely know what I'm talking about.
Well, if a lot of those samples that he got put on were from after that,
then I'd say Billy Squire has enjoyed quite a nice mailbox money career.
If he's the most sampled, you know, dude and rap, that's pretty fucking sweet.
I'd take that over doing stuff any day.
I would say he would have to be.
Mailbox monies, what's up.
I would say he has.
to be getting mailbox money because in order for them to know that, they almost have to be talking about legitimate tracks because it would be really hard for them to quantify because you're talking about the mixtape era.
And it was it was allowed to happen by the industry because they saw it as, all right, we're giving these young rappers some of our free stuff, but we get to figure out who's good at it.
then the mixtape started outselling the regular tapes and that's when they called the FBI in on them.
My point is, prior to that, it's almost impossible for them to know Billy Squires is at the top unless they're talking about legitimate ones.
So my guess is this dude is a like 100 millionaire.
Well, dude, that's such a wild thing to go from.
I think my career is over because everybody thinks I'm gay to I make a shit ton of money because black dudes.
think I'm hard.
You know what I mean?
Like that's a crazy jump and a pretty cool one to make.
You guys watch Stranger Things, right?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
That running up the hill song.
Oh, yeah, Kate Bush.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's wild.
I reckon Bush has made maybe quadruple.
Now, she was known.
She wasn't a nobody necessarily, but I think like quadruple the money since that came out.
Man, that's so sweet.
That's got to hit so hard.
It's my favorite song by her.
Oh, it's awesome.
been outside of your mind for decades that anything like that might ever happen.
For sure.
And then out of nowhere and it just becomes like a cultural phenomenon again overnight.
And you ain't have to do shit.
You already did all the shit.
It makes me so upset once again that like we talk about this so many times amongst ourselves at least that like jokes ain't like that.
Like the only time.
Or they'll go viral on TikTok for free.
I was going to say.
Exactly.
But.
And sometimes that can hit.
because, like, it's much more rare.
It ain't the same thing.
You don't get a shitload of money off of it.
But, like, with Bert Crasher, he had recorded the machine story on a special for Showtime,
but nobody really saw it or cared.
And then it just sat out there existing.
And then some random person ripped it off the special and posted on social media.
I think it was Facebook at the time where it initially popped, or maybe it was YouTube,
one of the two.
But he had nothing to do with it.
Right.
But it went crazy viral and it turned him into the, right.
Now he's one of the top five sellers.
and it's because of that.
Yeah, sure.
It can happen, but it's not the same thing.
And then you've got to turn around and start working more.
Like if you Kate Bush, like you said, you get a lot more mailbox money.
Exactly.
That never happens to a comment.
Obviously, you know, 10, 20 years down the road, if some joke that I did ends up going insanely viral, I'm not going to be so like, oh man, I wish I got money from that.
Because like, you know, it could revive my career, but like, dude, but being.
It's just Kate Bush's situation is so much better.
I wish that just so much better.
Let me ask you this about that.
Because Mark thought I was a moron, and so this is going to be fun.
He do that.
I'll get it.
Yeah.
So about two and a half years ago, maybe three, like right around the start of the pandemic,
Big Boy went viral because they were asking him about his influences, and he dropped Kate Bush's name.
and in the video that went viral,
he was like, I love that, you know,
it's like,
and like, it's Big Boy, so it's funny.
And then they cut it with the actual song.
The name Kate Bush rung a bell to me,
but when I heard Big Boy,
Outcast is my favorite group of all time across all genres.
I heard Big Boy reference it,
and I played the song.
It was like that one you were talking,
look, we were talking about earlier, Trey.
I played it like three times,
and on the third time,
I couldn't get that fucking melody out of my head.
I won't be able to all day just because you've brought it up.
It's fucking awesome.
I love that song.
You will never convince me that those writers didn't see that viral clip.
That big boy isn't at least somewhat responsible for that being the song that they chose.
Because the 80s, you have a plethora of songs to choose from.
She wasn't huge for the 80s.
Obviously, there's some hipster cred to them picking a song that hasn't been done by,
what's that guy who makes all the 80s movies?
Kenny Loggins.
Yeah, by Kenny Loggins, but it's the director.
John Hughes.
John Hughes, yeah.
Obviously, you get some credit for choosing a song that's not John Hughesy,
but you're just not going to convince me that a guy put that song into the Zite guys on some level on social media.
Big Boy's huge.
He's like, you know, Snoopog's more famous, Eminem's more famous.
He might be the third most famous guy from that era who's active.
Dr. Dre's more famous, but he's not on there.
You know what I mean?
So like, I just believe that someone working on that show got that in their head that day like me and chose it for that reason.
Or they didn't or they didn't see the video, but Big Boy gave it some attention and it started getting played more just and they heard it randomly because no, I mean, I don't think.
It would almost be insane for me that that didn't happen.
So Mark's an idiot in my opinion.
I'm getting text for Mandy who's telling me that that song's perfect for that character because and that's why they chose it.
I'm not saying that they didn't do a good job.
I'm saying that I believe Big Boy is what put it in their minds.
Boy, is she trying to say that a woman did it?
Well, I feel like that night.
So this was me, Mark, Andy, and Arammer at dinner when this all went down.
And I feel like I was being accused of taking credit from Kate Bush
and trying to lay it at the feet of a black man, a black man in America.
I mean, dude, how would Kate Bush have any credit for it?
Yeah.
Like, she did the song.
Yeah, of course, that's great.
Right.
But for it becoming the, for what happened with Stranger Things, like, other than just the fact that she did the song and it hit real hard for them.
But, I mean, you know.
Right.
No, that's all big boys.
It's not like it was her idea is right.
It's not like she was like, hey, I would like one of my songs to be in a cultural phenomenon, please.
Okay, cool, Kate Bush.
Provide my career to the tune of a hundred new million dollars.
Yeah, I just thought of that this morning.
I woke up thinking that would hit.
And they were like, we could do that.
We could do that.
Thank you.
So it's either the white male showrunners, it was either their idea on their own, white men.
The brothers.
Or it was fucking big boys.
Either way, a man did this.
That's all we know.
A white man.
Oh, well, it could have been big boy.
I'm in the big boy.
The white men stole an idea from a black man.
You see it a bunch.
And you wrote the back of a woman.
Woman, yeah.
It's just Hollywood 101, bro.
Like, I don't know what the fuck Andy's all.
Been out of shape, but it was just how it works.
Oh, man.
I wish we weren't on headphones right now.
I know.
I'm going to clip this out and text it to her.
Oh, my God.
Well, you want to take another break?
She just literally threw a book at me and it hurt.
That's hilarious.
Yeah, we'll be right back.
Right after this.
And I'll show you the book.
Oh, my goodness.
All right.
This is the book she hit me with,
how your unconscious mind rules your behavior.
It's pretty hilarious.
That's great.
It's a funny choice of book to hurl at a person and a fit of violence.
Subliminal, how your unconscious mind controls them.
Yeah.
Ain't nothing unconscious about this, bitch.
Bitch.
Brows it at you.
If y'all,
um,
so it's allowed.
If y'all had to,
and it has to be a southern meal,
it can't be like,
oh,
the fucking pie a,
you know,
gravy and biscuits with Friday.
chicken.
Your last meal?
Like if you're about to die?
Gravy and biscuits with fried chicken.
Yeah.
And if I'm allowed to go wild and like add steak to, I would.
Yeah.
But if it has to be a contained thing.
You have to finish the whole plate or I don't know what they'll kill you.
But like you have to be able to finish the whole place.
They'll rape you with what you don't finish.
Yeah, exactly.
They'll rape you before they kill you.
Oh God.
Jesus.
Biscuit racer.
Funny how that went down that road.
Just like a fun little food question.
You know,
corpse is being raped in some order.
Well,
it was your last death meal.
Yeah.
Right.
Sure.
Yeah.
You know,
raping corpse is going to come up.
No,
we shouldn't have said it.
All right.
One level above medium,
Nashville hot chicken with macaroni and cheese
and collard greens would be mine, I do believe.
Number two, I think, would be a country fried steak with white gravy and mashed potatoes.
That's interesting.
I've never seen you order a country fried.
Of course, when we're out, when we're out eating together.
How many times we've been to like a place where they have country fried steak?
No, you're right.
Because, dude, it's like a, I promise you it's a go-to for me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
I fucking love country fried.
Yeah, because, I mean, the thing that I was about to say, like, you can't just order
to a restaurant, which is my mom's chicken casserole,
mashed potatoes, you know, green beans and crescent rolls and coconut cake.
So it's like, yeah, duh, you've never seen me eat that.
I love it.
I have a fucking casserole dog.
Also, you guys did too.
I want to add dessert, banana pudding, and mine backup would be my mama's spaghetti.
And I mean, and like, it's trash spaghetti.
Yeah, yeah, right, right.
The cheapest noodles, the second cheapest sauce.
Yeah, no, that's fine.
That's fine.
Yeah, I mean, dude, maybe it's the thing.
You know, maybe it's because on account of my mama don't,
and I ain't hardly got a mama, but I didn't even consider that we could do such meals.
Yeah, why would you consider that?
Well, my mama cat's catfish, but she's long dead.
Yeah, but you can still.
Can a dish be resurrected from the graves like that?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And I would say her catfish and hush puppies, yeah, it's the best catfish on planet Earth.
What made her catfish?
In 15 years at this point.
I don't know.
I mean, she died when I was, she put her boobs sweat in it.
Four?
Yeah, all that.
love, all that love that went into it, you know.
What I'm saying is, like, I just remember
thinking it was best I'd ever had, but again,
I ain't had it in a very long time at this point on account how dead she is.
And I don't know. I think it was like she, you know,
she saved the grease, reused it.
Fucking, she took the time to cut that,
that weird shit off the back of the fillet.
You know what I'm talking about?
The skin.
No.
Well, maybe it is the skin.
It's the under layer of the scales.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
The epidermis.
True to epidermis.
You know what that's funny?
Why isn't some company, a grease company or a butter company?
And oftentimes they're, you know, one company that does the grease and the butter.
Why isn't there a love brand butter?
Like, it's love butter.
Like, well, there you go.
Yeah, it does sound like loob, but like, yeah, but I'm saying it's, why is this so good?
It was made with love.
Love butter.
Ag campaign rights itself, that's for damn sure.
It does.
I don't know, let's start a butter company shit.
Yeah.
You know.
Email us at, you know, email the billboards already.
Yeah.
These biscuits are made with love.
That's what I'm saying.
A big club of love butter.
Surely to God, it's what Drew said.
They did try and they were like, yeah.
You know, love butter.
I mean, it could be both.
I, we use some of little, like, I'm like, as that.
Yeah.
We can cook with it.
or you can cook something up with it.
Dude, coconut oil is the windex of oils and shit.
Like, it is just multi-purpose.
And in a bedroom, Love Butter gets the job done.
There you go.
And with coconut oil, too.
Hold on no.
You said lobe.
Is Love Butter?
That, it ain't, you know.
You can loom up with butter.
Love butter is.
Yeah, Love butter is semen.
That's why I think, which is the problem.
with like the marketing because everybody's going to be like, yeah, I got some love butter
for you.
I got some butter right here for you.
But not if you half own it.
Also in the day that's true.
If it goes viral for a bad reason, it don't matter, baby.
Being in the algorithm is all that matters.
Man, I feel like I should delete this part of the podcast.
Because love butter again, man.
Yeah, that's true.
I'll just send, just send me a crate of love butter, baby.
Are you going to get cum in the mail now?
Radiant Love...
Radiant and Languid Love Butter are from the same company.
They are massage lotions.
Yeah.
And then here's a different company that has Love Butter.
And this is Hair Care Oil.
Of course, Black people have already done it, and we're trying to steal it from them.
Yeah.
But it's called Love Butter?
Both of those products are...
Those are different products, and they're both called Love Butter.
Oh, well, you could just have love grease.
You make stuff with grease, too.
I was going to say, the thing is, it don't have to be butter.
Yeah, right.
It can be some kind of flour.
Yeah.
It could be bread crumbs or whatever the fuck.
Made with love.
You can't fuck nobody with bread crumbs, dog.
That'd be horrible.
No, no, we're trying to get away from the fucking.
Yeah, that's what we think is, that was such a folly.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, what's the, have you used anything weird for Lou before?
Drew?
I mean, I guess I think we're asking.
We all know who you're talking to.
Well, because...
Coconut oil, but I guess that's not weird.
Yeah, because I didn't know the answer.
I thought you might have one.
I thought it might be you because he knew that my answer was yes.
Do you want me to think about what the weirdest thing is?
The weirdest one, because, yeah, I mean, we've all used coconut oil.
Because, like I said, coconut oil is like the windex.
It's the all-purpose.
Like, you can cook with it.
You can...
It makes a good rinse for your teeth, apparently.
it's good for dogs.
If you have hair, you can put it in your hair.
I'm sure Trey has before.
I greased the bee with it.
Katie getting that,
if I recall correctly,
that teeth shit,
I think was called oil pulling.
Oil pulling.
And it was like a fad for a second.
And it requires you to swish coconut oil
around your mouth for a very long time.
And watching Katie attempt that
because it was some new like,
you know.
That's why I know it is because Katie.
It was hilarious because it prevents you from
talking and that was like self-inflicted torture on herself.
Like she was just sitting there.
You could tell it was physically painting her to not be able to talk for that amount of time.
It was just driving her insane.
She made it like two or three days doing that shit before she was like,
no, fuck this.
Because she just can't be.
Dude, she's one of the mouthiest gals I've ever met.
I love her.
I love her.
But Lord, she don't never stop.
She comes from a whole family of that.
her family's like 85% mouthy women and quiet men right and quiet men we just us whenever
they all get together it's just the men sitting around the sides of the room looking
each other in silence while they just fucking squawk over each other endlessly at varying
levels of volume just on and on and on they never stop
Dude, I'm trying to...
Talking about politics and stuff?
No, thank God, no, no.
Talking about, you know, some bitch down the street or whatever,
you know, some poor old family got her trailer took or whatever.
Local gossip and shit like that, usually.
So what is it, Drew, mayonnaise?
Some horse pregnant, you know, something like that.
It's your mother's saliva.
Oh!
Oh.
Oh, oh, hey.
I think it's probably just butter.
Just actual butter?
For olive oil.
I also was thinking, though, well, never mind.
I don't want to tell that one.
Oh, God, I cannot even imagine the pure filth that is in your mind right now.
It was not a lube thing.
It was about Katie.
It had nothing to do with lube or sex.
Fuck, now I'll just tell it.
One time I tried to make a chore.
Katie talks too much joke
and it was on
and we know I have
pap autism
I don't remember how I worded it.
I remember Trey was like,
what the fuck?
And then I went back and read it
and it was like,
it sounded like I was saying
I don't want to be around her.
It was something like,
it was something about the phone
versus in person.
I was like,
well,
as long as I don't have to see her in person.
And in my head,
the rest of it was,
because she talks too much
because we were just talking about that.
but it just came off as,
and that's a lot of,
I don't ever want to see your wife,
so I just remember that.
That's a lot of what pap autism is too.
And for the record,
I realize that I have it just,
I have it with the rest of my family.
Like,
I,
what I do is like,
it's the same thing as where like,
in my mind,
everybody's got all the information
and knows every single thing.
Yeah.
And so then I say a thing and everybody's like,
wait,
what the fuck?
And I'm like,
yeah,
you know,
oh,
you don't know that.
And I didn't say this.
And,
Oh, fuck.
This works so much better in my comedian group text because we have built such a lore.
You know what I mean?
But I fuck it up there.
That's like the only example.
That's the only example I could think of where I offended somebody.
But there's so many examples where y'all just were like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Oh, constantly, dude.
You all stop asking.
Yeah, you texting hieroglyphics sometimes.
I'm like, I don't have no fucking clue what this motherfucker's talking about.
Yeah, y'all both do do that.
though for sure.
Like there's,
I definitely do it.
Seems to be an assumption that the other party has information that they have no way of already having.
Yeah, with me, it's usually, it's, the text makes sense in a way.
It's just that I'm assuming that y'all, I'll enter a character.
You know what I'm saying?
Steak.
I've just real, but it was on accident.
You use steak as lube?
Steak grease, but it was kind of on accident.
Lord.
That's a yeast infection.
What's not happening, ain't it?
What are you doing?
First, hang on.
Oh, a hand job?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To circle back to the steak greet.
Oh, okay.
She just had been in the state.
I get it.
She wanted to suck it after her hands and then jacked you off.
I think it was that like I was fucking around and I was like, actually, I was like,
fuck, I got grease.
What, you just jerked off with steak grease?
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no.
That's way different, bro.
It's like, God damn.
like so good my dick's hard now.
Well,
might as well go in.
All right, hammer drunk.
Okay, hammer drunk.
Hammer drunk.
Eat, come home,
leftover steak,
heat it up,
start fucking around,
start eating,
like making out and stuff,
start eating the steak.
Point is,
I had grease on my hand,
and then I was like,
oh shit,
I got grease on my dick,
and then I was like,
this ain't bad, actually.
Here's where me and you were built different.
There is no goddamn way
that if I had a steak,
ready to be at that I would even attempt to make love to my wife.
No, it's one than the other.
Exactly.
I can't eat and them fuck.
I cannot eat in them fuck.
So you can fucking eat at the same time?
I need the energy.
I tried because I was drunk.
I don't think I pulled it off.
No.
But if I eat, son, I'm going to bed.
Me and Amorye trying out for Cirque to Solay, I can figure it out after a meatloaf.
I can't even talk.
I can't even talk.
I can't even talk about how y'all did that thing where you're going to do that thing
where you assume people have more information than they do so it doesn't make sense.
I realize that I'm literally the complete exact opposite.
I always assume that other people have zero information and need all of the context over again every single time.
And like, so I'm just endlessly given details and stuff that I don't need to be saying,
but I can't stop saying it.
And then I just, you know, go on for there.
And it's a, it originates for me just thinking that everybody else is so much dumber than me.
Yeah, you treat all of us.
That's the thing about Trey is that, and he doesn't mean to do it.
But if you meet Trey, he will treat you like you're the dumbest motherfucker on earth.
Yeah.
He may not mean to do it now because it's a habit.
It is.
That was created on purpose.
Yes.
Like, what I mean?
Out of necessity, yeah.
Again, we all, I've said a million times I thought I was goodwill hunting when I was, like, in high school or whatever.
And I thought I was surrounded by fucking.
chumps. Don't you have two friends who are literal rocket scientists that you grew up with?
I have one friend who's now a rocket scientist and I and, you know, I like, I was like,
yeah, he almost as smart as me.
Yeah.
Well, that's all I thought, you know.
Well, buddy, I mean, it depends, depending on, like, you can be good at, you can be smart
at just one thing.
Because, like, you know, used to when you's kids, the standard was like, oh, he's smart.
He's going to grow up to be a doctor.
Dude, fucking Amber's cousins is doctors.
And I'm, they ain't smarter than me.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
I mean, they're not dumb.
I'm just saying that's not the, that's not the standard it used to do.
I've been aware of it ever since, like, I got to college and I could tell I was, I would offend people sometimes and be like, yeah, I understand.
Yeah.
You know, I'm not a child.
And then I would be like, I, I, but I still, it's just like, it's just a thing that I, whatever, it is like a habit and I definitely still do it without meaning to all.
And Drew's, it's definitely not as bad as it used to be, though, I'm promising.
It used to be much, much, much worse than it is now.
I think both of yours comes across as in daring.
Not Trace.
No.
Not to me and you.
Not to me and you.
Not to me and you.
But like, you know.
We come across like idiots.
He comes across like an asshole.
I know which one I'd rather be.
To me and you.
But I feel like, you know, like old little liberal women on the internet think, you know,
this man is explaining stuff for everybody to understand.
Yeah, yeah, we know how liberal women love to be explained to.
No, he's explaining it to other people.
Oh, right, yes, yes.
You know what I agree with me.
Well, no, when he's doing a video that's different,
I'm talking about like, because when you do a video,
you do have to lay out all the shit for context.
We're talking about when this motherfucker is having a goddamn face-to-face conversation.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, but so, like, we run into people on the road,
and I don't know this for sure,
but I feel like they notice it because they're comics and they notice people's manner,
mannerisms and all that, and I don't think it bothers them.
I think you and I, you know, it's like, yeah, dude, it's year five.
Well, for the record, it don't really bother me.
I find it humorous now.
I do think it's endearing.
I think that mine offends people because not offends them.
They're just like, what the fuck is this?
What's the things that you say are offensive?
If they knew you had a condition, I don't think they would be as offended.
Like me and Trey aren't because we're like, oh, we know that he's trying to say something.
I think Drew, I think Drew may have accidentally just named the thing that he does sometimes.
I don't think you meant to, and I don't think you realize you did it.
You said mannerism a minute ago, but you mispronounced it on accident, and you said manorism.
Okay.
And I think that's a pretty good name for the thing he does sometimes.
You're having a manorism.
It just happens.
Well, that's great.
Well, that's it from now on.
I definitely say manorism.
I know that the word is mannerism, but like, it's like nuclear.
You pronounce it manorism.
I also say nuclear, even though I know that that's not how you say it, because it's just how my memo or whatever said it.
I mean, I still say mimosa, I can't help it.
It's just how that be.
And again, I've defended myself on that a lot because I didn't know what a fucking mimosa was when I was.
a kid, but I knew that Robbie lived on
mimosa lane, and that's how everybody
fucking said it.
Dude, that's literally another one.
Is that street actually called mimosa?
Like, because you know, in small towns and stuff,
they pronounce things wrong all the time.
Yeah, right, of course. The street he lives on,
it's genuinely
mimosa street. No, because I've heard
plenty of people now say mimosa street.
Okay, all right. You know what I mean? But his
grandma was like, we live on mimosa
street. Because like, Salina,
Salina spelled that way, is almost
universally pronounced Selena.
Everywhere else, but in some, but my hometown is called Salina.
It's not just that everyone says it wrong.
It's like that's how that, that iteration of that town with that name, that's how it's pronounced.
So, you know, but no, you was, it still was mimosa.
I know, baby.
We've all got our own little types of dumb.
Trey, this might have been your point.
It might have been a double point you're making.
I know that you were saying that manorism.
I often do.
He does the, sometimes, sometimes triple points.
Yeah.
Wadrople over now and if I'm really feeling.
Yeah.
A lot of people,
double, double, motherfucker.
They fly over their heads.
They fly over their heads, but it's there, you know.
You cut me off.
I was setting it up to do that to you, but that was great.
But, but, like, even that,
do you guys sometimes,
I will say a word incorrectly?
That wasn't one of them, but I will say a word incorrectly,
knowing how to say it, but I'm doing a thing.
Yeah.
And then think later.
These people don't know me.
Don't know.
They just think that I am the character that I was attempting to play for fun for them.
That has happened to me so many times.
The only one example just popped into my head immediately,
and I think I've told you all this before, back when I said my end word.
Sure, yeah, that never plays.
It's weird.
I'm like, this used to always go over.
This is a character.
But when I still had my day job, I went to a training in Detroit, Michigan.
the first time I was ever in Detroit.
And I was sitting there.
Everybody else is from this big DOD base in a suburb of Detroit.
Something with a W. Warren, Michigan.
It doesn't matter.
It literally doesn't matter.
You're doing it right now.
So we're sitting around the table and we got to divide up the work.
It's in a training course.
And they, one side of the table says one thing.
The other side says the other thing.
And I went, well, I'm with you fellers, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Which is the, oh, brother, or art thou.
And I could tell immediately 100% that they had no idea that that was a quote or a reference.
They were just like, Jesus Christ, can you believe the way this fucking hillbilly talks?
You know what I mean?
I would say that happens a lot that I don't even register that it's happening.
We like out to, I say that all the time.
Mispronounce words to be funny all the time.
And I definitely think there's plenty of times where people have.
I had no idea that it's a joker that I know how the words actually.
said or any that she had a woman unfollow me on Twitter she was like which the reason she
unfollow me means she couldn't have been following me that fucking long but I made some
Twitter post that I think was actually promoting our podcast or something and I spelled the words
in the sentence the way that we would have spelled them in the book like phonetically redneck
phonetically just just doing that because I'd say it's fucking I don't know that's just it's fun for
me it's it's a bit and this fucking woman
commented and listed all the spelling errors that I made, informed me that some of them
weren't words, and then I was like, okay, and I looked, and she was unfollowing me, and I was
like, fucking okay. And then I checked my Twitter DMs, and I had a message from her that was
laying out basically like, I started following you because I knew that I saw one of your videos
and you were such a supporter of the liberal beliefs and blah, blah, blah, blah, but watching you
watching you and seeing how dumb you actually are, whatever.
You know, and like, she's like, she's like, you're, you're just as bad as them spreading misinformation about vocabulary and shit.
Like, it was sincerely like that.
And I was just like, okay, bitch, whatever.
Them people.
Did I spell that right?
The internet or not ever happened to them people.
And then people aren't ever happened to the internet either.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
British.
British version.
I was being a British version.
version.
Yeah, that's fine.
This has been a hitting episode.
It sure has.
I do think we can get out of here if y'all ain't got nothing now.
Hey, let me give a real positive update.
We saved that family's house.
Way to fucking go, Well Red Nation.
Yeah.
Nice.
I lawyered to fuck out of it and got the number down and then y'all raised enough money.
Thank you so much.
I'm so glad I waited to donate.
All right.
So thank you all for listening to the Well Red show.
We love to stick around longer, but we got to go.
No, for real, though.
that is awesome. And
congrats Drew and thanks to everybody
that helped.
Tune in next week if you
got nothing to do.
It's the remix. This is the Corey's Guilty
remix. Thank you, God bless you good.
Night and Skee. And now for your
enjoyment, a clip from the
hit podcast, putting on airs.
Yeah, I've seen a redneck kick of skunk
right in his butt hall once. Did he
fart out? It's like he tried
too, but he got like...
He plugged it in the boot.
Yeah, he plucked him.
Yeah.
And so only his boot got stunked.
And throw them boots away.
Yeah, boot stank.
But he averred...
The stake sack is what it's called.
The stank sack.
He averted the larger full stank.
By kicking it in its stank spot.
Sincted it happened.
Okay, so I'm not getting your cousin, Skeeter.
I actually think it was my cousin, not Skeeter.
I think it was Kenny Ray.
