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

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

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

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

River Rednecks That makes some people upset They got three big old dicks That you can suck What's going on everybody Corey Forster here of the well-read podcast Drew What's up, dog?

What's up? Drew's got run So we're going to let him take over the show For the first 40 minutes. Do your thing Okay Viva la Mexico Didn't you have a story

From last week that you were going to tell Yeah, I didn't know if you guys remember. It's hilarious at the one time that you guys remember that I want to talk. I don't want to. I've thought about this story and I'm not ready to share it. It's extremely wild and personal and I need more time to process it. I did the wildest thing I've ever done. Let's just say it like that.

Yeah. No, I hear you. I pretty much divulged the wildest thing I've ever done two or three episodes ago. And it took me. no, I'm not trying to pressure you. I'm saying it took me 17 years to be able to do it, so I understand. Well, one thought I had was that I don't want to come across as trying to one-up you. Oh, no, that's fine.

I got jacked off by a dude. What did you do? Not like you personally, like in the eyes of pit. It's just, yeah, I'll let you sit in that. I'll let you set in your jack off for a few more years, perhaps. Is gravy baby out yet? God damn it. No, it's not.

We've got meetings today, but it'll be out soon. I keep saying soon. We have a producer and I'm trying to do things the right way. And it turns out that takes a lot of time. Yes, it does. Yes, it very much does. Speaking of having a producer and doing it the right way, me and Trey, also have Putting on Ares, the podcast.

We're into Hillbilly dipshits, talk about fancy people and their culture. As you can imagine, we had a heyday with the Queen Dine RIP. And I've also got a little thing going over at part-time funnyman.com. We got some bonus podcast, essays, videos, all sorts of stuff. You can join me over there and trade. Just change your website name? Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's, it's, you can still go to Corey rightsfor you.com to get to all of it, but I just got

part-time funnyman.com that also points at it because I'm doing some other things beside writing and it just started feeling weird. Like, you can go watch this video at Corey writes for you.com. It's the same fucking place, though. You know what I mean? Corey's so afraid of committing to a full-time job that even though he has. seven jobs related to comedy. He has to call the website part-time funny man.

Yeah, well, it's got, like I said, it's the same thing. It's just, I'm doing so many different things over there that it just is confusing. It's like, wait, this isn't, what do you mean by right? This is a video or a podcast. So, yeah, we're just trying some stuff out. Yeah, you go to Trey Crowder.com for tickets to live shows. If I'm not coming anywhere near you or whatnot, you want to support your boy. You go to patreon.com slash Trade Crowder, a bunch of different shit on there.

And also listen to weekly skews every skews day, Tuesday evening, 5 p.m. Pacific time. It's live. Or you can just get it wherever you get your podcast or watch it on my pages any other time of the week, too, not live. And that that's everything. Yeah, you're so correct, Drew, in that like a year ago I had this, or a year and a half ago, I was like, okay, I'm going to get this going and this going and this going and this going. And then like, you know, then I won't really have to work much. You'll all be like a self-sustaining thing.

And like now that it's a lot of it has come true, it's like I'm working way harder than I used to and have way more jobs than I used to. I don't really know what I'm doing here. More money, more problems, baby. No, I love it. So, uh, so yeah. I'm going to be in Bristol. I want to plug that because it's coming up soon.

Friday and Saturday, the 23rd and 24th of September. Jay Lewis, the gutter bumpkin will be with me. I'll be in Knoxville the weekend after that at the Second Bell Music Festival. Corey, are you going to be there? Aren't you going to be? I am. Yeah. We're opening for Big Boy. So those tickets are a lot, but it's worth it.

Check it out. I wanted to plug those two days because they're coming up quick. I got Atlanta, Savannah, other things coming up on my website. But Bristol, the 23rd and 24th. Come out and see me, East Tennessee, Southwestern, Virginia, North Carolina. you know the tri-state area yeah and for all you all that think that we've broken up not true october 6 through the 8th we'll be in raleigh and then of course i don't know which week in december this is but the week before christmas or whatever we're in and at zanies in nashville like we

always are well-raid comedy dot com or treycrouter dot com or google us plus the city and it'll probably come up and shit so looking looking forward to looking forward to that man i'm fucking And this happens, I feel like Raleigh has been like the kickoff city to a ton of tours that we've done. You know what I mean? It's like, we'll go on the pandemic. Yep, it was. Like, we'll not be on the road for a while. And then it's like Raleigh's our first time back.

And because of that, I always am in like a sober mood. And I'm like, I'm, and then I know Raleigh's coming. And like, I don't think I've ever not been super blackout. in Raleigh. You know? And a lot of it is probably just because what I was just saying, like, we're off the road forever.

But like, I just, I don't know. I know what's going down. B.J. Barham lyrics. Because I like watching, walking around the Raleigh.

And like, you know, I see Slims. And he's like, Lund Lott, notch down at Slims. And I'm like, ooh,

I got to get a drink. I mean, what else can I do? Well, and Raleigh is one of those cities that, and we have a lot of these. And that's what the problem. is where you start making excuses, you're like, well, I'm not, okay, I'm not really going to drink that

heavy on this tour. But like, you know, we're in Raleigh, we know a lot of people there, so we got to. And then, well, when we go to Denver, well, I mean, we have to go out with Sam and all then. Well, man, we get to Seattle. Like, and they just kind of start piling up. But I do feel like if I was to make a bracket of all the cities that I make the most excuses for, Raleigh would definitely be like in the final four at least. I'm going to go lead eight. Yeah.

What's your favorite city to get drunk? in, Trey? New Orleans. Yeah, absolutely. Jam. I mean, it almost isn't fair. And, yeah, and I was sober for this last time in New Orleans, surprisingly, somehow, by the grace of God. Yeah.

Yeah, that I ate a lot. No, that ain't it. I won't do that again. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, not. Hollywood sober? No, I was legit, regular, like, straight up, didn't drink, nothing sober last time.

name I got to order some more weed today. Yeah. While I've been able to order weed, man. Dude. Well, it's funny. Like, I've said this before. I got to moving out here. It's like, it's so wild.

You just order weed and just bring it to your house. But it's like, I mean, that's how a lot of drug dealers operate. Yeah, for sure. It's like, but it's legal. But like, so that makes it very different. But still, it's not that weird to have the plug come to your house. And drop the shit off. No, but usually you'd have to.

see them and exchange the money and then they would be like yo dog you don't miss smoke you out or you know so like it is definitely better you know it's similar but it's but way better because essentially door dashing weed is yeah pretty cool which i just i remembered i got to do later a reverse surreal thing like the same kind of weirdness but reverse and i'm not going to be one of those people i don't think who talks about burning man for six months but like there were no rules there, but everybody was like, don't smoke weed because there are a handful of federal, there's a handful of federal cops here. And it's the one thing.

Wait, where's it at? It's in the Nevada Desert on Bureau of Land Management land. So it's federal land. Okay. I was about to say, you can't smoke weed in Nevada. That seems wrong. It's on federal land. And it's like, that's the one drug that they can find you easily from like 100 feet.

They smell it. They walk. They see you light up at night. So it's like, anything goes here, except for the thing that is so fucking legal everywhere you're used to. And even if not legal, the safest thing. Like, well, goddamn, like, they must have been having a field day then, right? Like, like a cop on New Year's Eve giving DUIs. Like, they had to have gotten a lot of people.

No, they don't, they don't smoke it. Like, veteran burners smoke it, like, back in their camps or they take edibles. Take edibles. Yeah, or whatever. It's very easy to. And a conceit nowadays. But yeah, I forget all the time that it still ain't legal everywhere. Yeah.

Like seriously. You put in your bag? I keep it. I've never not had weed in my bag. I've been touring for six years. Me too. And I've flown in and out of every city in this country. And I've never not had weed in my bag.

And every now and then, like, they'll flag my bag for just some random bullshit. It ends up being just some random bullshit. You know, last time it was my fantasy football championship trophy from last year. The Dildo. I thought I thought I had it. No, that's the losers trophy. I got the trophy.

No, I won the whole thing last year. Oh, yeah, that's right. I remember. I'm sorry. That's just such a foreign concept to me.

No, I know. Tell me about it. But I thought they, I guess I thought it was a trophy-shaped bomb or something. But anyway, whenever they flagged my bag for some other random reason, I'll briefly think like,

oh, shit, where am I? Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, right. What state am I in? What, How are they about weed here?

Is this about the because if they, they find that, what am I going to say? I mean, it is weed. Right. And then I was like, if anybody,

if anybody ever looks me up or some kind of shit like that, I think about that too sometimes. It's like, I don't hit for any kind of cop or authority. Most of them don't know who I am, but if they found out who I am. And apparently some of them think you're Jewish or Iranian. Right.

Yeah. But either way. I want to, I want to say something. Lawyer mine wants me to let you know real quick. doesn't matter where you're at. Like, people get arrested at the Colorado airport, taking weed out all the time. You are in federal jurisdiction once you enter that airport if it's international airport.

And then also I just wanted to say I found a bag of mushrooms in my bag before going in Mexico that's been in there. I literally don't know since when. Now, I'm not calling you a liar, but not about the whole thing. I know that you're correct about it doesn't matter what state you're in. But I was talking to a lady at the Denver airport or somebody that used to work. I can't fucking remember which one. And I was talking about having flown with edibles and how nervous I was.

And she said, do you know how many people got their checked bag searched and they found marijuana in it last year? How many people? And I was like, oh, fuck, I don't know, thousands. And she said, one. And the only reason is because they also had a brick of heroin in there. is what she told me. That was her like make me feel comfortable about at Denver. At Denver, yeah, because she was like, they're not looking for it.

Well, we have a friend who got arrested at the Denver area. Well, there you go. It was him. He had heroin. As far as I know, maybe he kept that private from us. Yeah, y'all. It just depends on a lot of things. Like, I know Paige wasn't lying to me.

Like, Paige was flying to L.A. to see us from Nashville. And she brought weed in her bag. and they found it at the Nashville airport where it's very illegal. And the dude pulled it out and she said he looked at it and like Scott, like laughed and goes, I wasn't expecting that and just threw it back in the bag. He didn't even confiscate or throw it away or nothing and just let her go. Because the TSA, they're not, they're not there to find drugs.

Yeah, that's not their mission statement. They're not really supposed to have anything to do with drugs. If they find an insane amount, yeah, obviously it'll be a problem. Yeah, right. That's not what they're there to do. So, like, you're probably going to be fine. And again, I've been doing it for six years, and I've always been fine. But still, every now and then, it'll enter my head.

Like, oh, shit. Is this the day? It's the dogs that get people. Yeah, right. And I don't think they work for the TSA. So when I said, it doesn't matter what state. Dog, like, TSA don't cash my checks, motherfucker. I meant those cops.

I think those cops. My checks say Denver Pee's. on it. God, Officer Slug-o. All right, that's what my checks say. I think those cops,

their handlers, are DEA Asians. Okay. I think. They're the fucking law. That's all I know. Fuck them. And that's who gets people.

And so I don't think you have anything to worry about with TSA, period. But I think as far as what state you're in don't matter because the people who pop people are those dog people. That reminds me on the way into Mexico. Andy got attacked.

by a dog a drug he jumped up did it he jumped up and bit her backpack numerous times

and for like two seconds I got scared because I was like what the fuck did she pack like what did she leave

in there like what is it it was a gang of beef jerky I mean like $40 worth of beef jerky that they had to

throw away and I said why did you bring that much beef jerky with you and she said snacks. And I said, you had like three pounds of beef jerky.

And she said, I bought it when I was on my period. Dude, three pounds of beef jerky. That's probably like $80 goddamn dollars. Damn dollars. Yeah, that's a lot, man. I was about to say, too, like, but to me that dog needs to be fucking fired because like they're supposed to. Administrative leave.

Yes, exactly. Paid in milk bones for two weeks. But like, like, they're trying. After mawling a black child. After mawling. I was about to say somebody photoshop us a picture, but don't include the part Tray said. That did hit, but don't include it on the Photoshop. But give us administrative leave paid in milk bones for two weeks.

Yeah. So, but I'm saying, like, them dogs are trained to smell drugs and stuff, but they also should be, like, desensitized to the other regular, like, they should be trained to not just smell beef jerks. Because, like, then the dog should be fucking to lose his mind. So I think maybe he was trained also to find food. You could buy a goddamn house in Mexico for three pounds worth of fucking beef jerky. I've heard not the part we went to, but I believe you. I've heard drug type people say, and I always kind of thought it was bullshit, but now I'm wondering if maybe it is a thing.

Talk about, like, a trick of the trade is to hide your drugs inside. a little jar of peanut butter. If you're trying to sneak it in somewhere or something like that, because if the dog glights on it, they'll just be like, oh, they love peanut butter. You mean like jam it down in the mush? Yeah. Like, you know, sort of holler out the middle.

Yeah, or something down in there and then scoop peanut butter back on top of it. That's how you can get me to take heroin. I guarantee you that. We did that on the way into Burning Man in a jar, in like a thing of salsa. And the concept for us wasn't,

oh, the dog won't, he'll, you know, he'll smell the salsa. It was more of like, we resealed it. And it was more of like,

if we get searched, they'll say that this is a sealed thing of salsa and move on. And it was down in the goop. It was down in the goop. That's how I used to steal butterfingers. Okay. Well, why don't you explain that right after this?

So at the, um, gas station, do is, you know, you go in and you get the cup for your soda. You've told this story. Yeah. And so you get a butterfinger and you put it in the cup and then you put ice over it and you put your drink over it.

Then you fill it up. You pay for the drink. Then you get out to your car. Free cold butterfinger, baby. Paying for one item. Paying for one item is absolutely the move. Yeah, you have to. When you're shoplifting.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. because I used to still sunglasses at one like if we had to go in Walmart for something like my buddy would have to go and get a new pair of work boots or whatever um which if you buy your work boots at Walmart you will be going back there to buy workboats a lot I promise and so he you know get his work boots and like we would just go and shove like a bunch of sunglasses into the boots and like we didn't need the sunglasses at all it was just a fuck you Walmart you know what I mean like we're you know yeah it's fun and like yeah it's fun and like you know, fuck them. If we could steal the boots, we would. But, like, I don't think we're going to get away with that shit. I think I am encouraging everybody to shoplift. It's very funny.

Do you remember last year in Nashville? You probably don't because it was such a nothing thing to both of you. But last year in Nashville, you know, the condo is right by that Dollar General. And I always holler at that Dollar General at first thing every time we go there. And it was cold out. And I had a big jacket on and I didn't have a basket. So I was trying to carry a whole bunch of shit in my arms. I got back to the condo and I realized that I had inadvertently stolen a little box of crystal light packets because I'd put it in my jacket pocket money to pay for it.

And it was like a, you know, it's literally like a dollar. It's like five old crystal light packets for one dollar. And I had accidentally stolen it. And I was like very seriously debating walking back down there and being like, I'm sorry. I took this. I didn't mean to. Can I pay you for it? But that dollar store and that part national or whatever, I thought they'd go.

call me a queer or something. Yeah, yeah, right. You know what I mean? It'd be like, the fuck is wrong with you. You fucking, yeah. Yeah. Like, dude, like, what? If you get arrested for stealing crystals.

Are you a cop? Get the fuck out of here. Like, because y'all know how they'd be in that dollar store, man. They don't give a fuck. That fucking, what was that, what did that dude? It was you, wasn't it, Corey? Or maybe it was DJ. I was in a, I know that one of you all.

I know something happened. Somebody, somebody, the guy working there. One of y'all was like, Hey, do y'all have any... Pineapple juice? Pineapple juice. That's what it was. Had y'all have any kind of pineapple juice?

And the dude working area goes, shit, I don't know. And just walk. Yeah, it was me because I wanted to make, I wanted to make cranberry, I wanted to make cranberry vodkas with a splash of pineapple for our drinks. That's right. And yeah, he did.

Shit, I don't know. Yeah, and that was great. Thanks, man. No aisle suggestion or anything. Right on. Love it. Love it. God.

for you. I can't wet for those fucking shows. I think that if you had gotten arrested for stealing crystals, like anybody from the crowd or family gets arrested for stealing crystals, crystal light would have been the very bottom of the list of which top. Yeah, which one I had had in my mind. Yeah. Yeah.

I also, I meant to say it's forever ago, circling back a little bit. You were talking about taking shit into Mexico. I was real nervous about that, too, to the point of this also involves me being a square because going through like the Mexican version, like Mexican customs, or ever on the other side. They ask you if you've got any kind of something, I don't remember, any kind of drugs or paraphernalia,

some kind of question like that. And then I was still spoken cigarettes at this time, which is wild, because I feel like it hasn't been that long. But, yeah, but four years, still spoke, still smoking cigarettes at this time.

And I told him, I was like, I was like, I mean, I got a couple packs of cigarettes in there. And the do was literally like, he was like, he was like,

why would you tell me that? Yeah. El Quiro. Yeah, yeah. He was like, Why did you just just don't just say no. I was like, all right, you're right. I'm sorry.

My bad. Trying to be honest, like a dumb ass, you know, or whatever. So, yeah, they seem to not give too much of a fuck, you know, shocker. So, yeah, I imagine you could have brought just about anything in there. Seemed to me. On the way back, we bought some, uh, England was the same way. Mexican, Mexican Adderall. and on the way back.

Those are called Speedy Gonzalez's. Hey, I like it. Hey. And on the way back, you know, you just like went into like a Mexican CVS and just bought them off the shelves. And like, they had them, you know, like,

they had, they were 30 meals and they were like $100 for, damn, I want to say 10 or 20 of them. And at one point, we were on an island and we just wanted to. And she went into a few. pharmacy and they're like we don't

do singles. We got a Lucy. I got a pill. Well, that's why Andy was calling him. Andy was like, there's got to be a place that'll sell me a Lucy Adderall. And then the second place we went, he was like, I mean, we're not supposed to do that, but hold on. And he just took two out of a bottle and took cash and didn't ring him up.

Yeah. And then somebody got 28 is what happened. Yeah. And let me say this on that note, somebody got probably 12 because it was. It was Adderall, but it was not 30 milligrams. Oh, okay. It was not 30 milligrams. Did you even attempt to take it?

Because 30 milligrams, really? Because I thought that like, just blowing the order immediately. Yeah, right. I took a little bit, and I took a little bit, and that took a little bit. And then I was like, this ain't shit. And it wasn't shit. Ugh. Well, that, you made it not hit it to end there.

Yeah. Hey, man. Really into it at first. Yeah, me too. It's like when you go to the restaurant, Did they have to pill? It's cocaine too, right? I thought it was hydro.

Like, you know, some kind of low-grade opioid also. That'd be what's up. Oh, dog, they had oxy-contin, which I honestly didn't like. Like, I'm for legal drugs, but there was something about, I guess, what's happened to my family. Oh, yeah. You just see oxy-cotton, you know, right here, and you're just like, you can just buy it. But as far as the cocaine and all that, the cartel was about walking around. They were in, they were outside of every bar's bathroom.

which apparently is a thing like hey you know you need something i got you blah blah blah um but i didn't fuck with any of that like i just i was i'd been at burning man anyway i really didn't have any desire to do anything like that but also i just you know i had no test strips like i party twice a year as far as that kind of shit goes not coke i don't like coke but as far as like buying something no more bro yeah but i wasn't going to do it anyway the test strip thing right that's what the yeah it's what the responsible or what drug doers are doing now. I don't, I don't even...

I don't even... I don't even... Well, I don't like cocaine. If you wouldn't do it and you test it, if you test it, I mean, you're going to know whether it's fucked with it or not. I'd be worried that I got a faulty test strip or something. Oh, you test it twice.

Or dude, it's going to be, it's going to be soon where they've got a new thing that you're, that can't be tested for. And you know what I mean? Fentinaw came out of no goddamn where. The bigger issue, so I don't do cocaine. No, you're right. If I tested it's fine.

I do Molly. a couple times a year. The bigger issue with testing, you know, you may back that up in a second after I point this out. The issue with most of these ODs is not that people are like trying to put fentanyl in their drugs. It's that they are people who have facilities that handle things including fentanyl. Well, like cooking a burger on a vegan grill. Right. You test this end of the bag and there's no fentanyl in it.

So then you do the bag and you get down to this end of the bag at the end when you're, your heart. parts up because you've been doing coke all fucking night. And that's where the dollop of fentanyl is. And you ain't tested it. Because they say over the edge. I mean, you know, if I'm just going by all them cops that fucking catch the Holy Ghost and pass out

every time they see a fentanyl bag, then it only takes one grade. Dude, that's the, that's this funny. Have you seen those videos, dude? They're like,

they get on the ground. They're like, oh, seen fentanyl, seen it. You know about this strange? No, dude. I feel like I get it, and it sounds ridiculous,

but I don't think I've ever had it to same one of that. It's like body cam, and they just like, they lay down and they go, I don't feel weird. I feel weird. It's because they saw fentanyl. It's like, dog, that ain't how it works. Or the person. You had a panic attack. Or the person.

Because you realize your role in this fucking god-awful society we live in, you stupid cunt. Like, an actual human being will be sitting there holding this bag, and the cop will just get near it and be like, that's enough. but the person holding it apparently is fucking Superman. You know what I mean? It's fucking great. Because of who my in-laws are, I had to, like, actually look into these things because I wasn't arguing with a reasonable person about a reasonable subject at the time. And these are, like, Lake Republicans.

They do drugs. So it's not like, you know, they're like, all drugs are bad or whatever. They're like, I don't know, man, you know, this and that. So I looked into it. And I guess that you can, that. opioids can seep into your skin. The amount of fentanyl you would have to like stick your hand into and the amount of time you'd have to leave it there though is ridiculous.

Like if there was enough fentanyl in the trunk of a car to make a cop faint from touching it, it would have to be a trunk full of fentanyl that the cop put their sweaty hands in and then left on their hands. You know what I mean? And then apparently that could absolutely kill a person. Yeah. No, for the record, when I first, I saw several. of these videos. I was just laughing because I thought a cop was hurt. You know what I mean? Like I didn't. I did. I thought I thought oh shit. Because you know, I've heard the horror stories about fentanyl. And like I'm like I'm not I wasn't really doing drugs anyways. I'd kind of already retired that part of my life. But whenever this whole shit started happening, I was like, all right, definitely done. Like they're not coming anywhere near me. But I still, but when I saw that, I was like, damn, it's even more hardcore. I thought. And then like somebody had written an article that were like, yeah, these cops.

are just acting like a fucking soccer player when, you know, some dude grazes them. And I was like, oh, yeah, it really is. And so I was like, I was like, oh, okay, well, you know, fuck them, but I'm still not going to like snort something that I don't know what it is anymore. I took vodka last weekend, though, for the first time in a long time.

I do want to hear about that. I want to say, I guess I just feel like in order to be responsible people. Molly's the only drug that I take that could possibly have it in it. and I don't do that that often, but I still do it sometimes. And it's a fucking risk. I test it, but I'm acknowledging that if you snort fentanyl along with an upper, you're taking a speedball and it could explode your heart.

And it's a risk because of what I was saying, you can't test the whole bag. If you do, you're out of drugs. Like the tests that you do the way it works, the drugs are gone. So, you know, I know that it's a risk. I buy it from a person who gets it from a person who makes it their self. And in theory that at least puts my mind

the these but it's fucking that shit's legit it's killing a lot of people yeah no it is and like again I'm not trying to be flipping about it like I was a bad shit crazy son of a bitch for a long time hell going back to what we's talking about with airport security one time I came home

and Amber was cleaning out my backpack and she walked in the room and she goes where'd you get this and she held up an eight ball of cocaine and I know this is what every person that gets caught with an eight ball of cocaine says but I genuinely made it. I was like, I have no fucking idea. And I know that

I knew where we'd been that weekend and I definitely didn't get it because I wasn't going wild and I was like, there is no fucking telling how long that goddamn cocaine has been in that bag that I take to the fucking airport every fucking week. I bet it was Jacksonville. It probably was. Jacksonville would explain how I both got it and didn't

know that I got it. You know what I mean? There's plenty of cities where I'd be like, I don't know where I got, but yeah, you're, dude, there's almost no way it wasn't Jacksonville. Um, especially because I- Absolutely Jacksonville. We almost died that night four different ways, four different ways from each other too.

I bet you it was Jackson for another reason because I drove to Jacksonville and I could see my blackout self being like shit, man, I'm driving. I'm good. Give me the fucking eight ball of cocaine. But anyways, I don't fuck with that shit no more because first off, coke ain't been good in, I don't know, 12 goddamn years. So it's not even a little bit worth the risk that some of it's fentanyol. Like, it's genuinely barely even good.

when there's not, I'm like, every time I snorted Coke for the past 10 years, I was like, God damn, I wish they'd put some, some shit in this to up it a little bit. But now, last week, I was at the, you know, I got hit in the head against my will by Jeff Jarrett. And I was walking around and I was drinking. I had a headache the next day. And this old buddy just comes up to me. And he's like, has your head. And I was like, I'll be honest with, it hurts a lot more today than it did yesterday.

He's like, yeah, that's how it goes. And I was, and I'm not saying anybody, who's name anybody this was. and I was like, yeah, yeah, and he goes, I said, I say, I could probably go for a pain pill right now. And he goes, oh, you want some? And I go, yeah, that'd be great. And he goes, dude, we're at a wrestling convention. I mean, I can get you some fucking pain pills if you want them. And I was sitting there and I was like, man, I mean, this has been a long time.

This is like seeing an old high school friend that you hadn't seen and you don't really know exactly what they've been doing. You know what I mean? And you know what I mean? And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean? So he gives me two Vicodin tens. And a smart person would have been like, take one. But I was like, I used to take three. So I popped two of them.

And I'll be honest with you. And I don't even think we're sponsored by them anymore. But like, I genuinely would just rather take Cratum. I swear to God I would. Because like the feelings, the feelings are so fucking similar. Maybe Vycanin's a little bit more intense. But like the come down sucks. And there's a little bit of paranoia and there's a huge risk there.

So, like, genuinely, I'm off drugs now. I ain't going to say the circumstances of it, but I got, I had an opportunity to take some pills for the first time in a very long time. I mean, hell, dude, this, this has been more than two years ago, probably. Yeah. But still, you know, somewhat recently. And I didn't because I was like, my main thing in my head was I was like, man, what if that makes Kratom not here for me. I can't have that. I was like, I was like that ain't, I was like, that ain't, I was like, that ain't worth it to me. So I'll just, I'll just stick with Kratom. That's, that's fine. You know, like it's, it wasn't even really that hard of a decision to make. Well, let me tell you, it, it actually to me confirmed how much Kratum hits because it's been so long since I've done. I should have took them bills as well you tell you. You should have taken those. Yeah, it's next time. It's been, it's been, it's been. I mean, I've taken pills because I've had so many goddamn surgeries for a man this fucking. Yeah, right.

So I've taken pills and, I mean, you know, they have hit. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they do. I mean, like, you know, I thought Aquaman was one of the best movies of 2019 or whatever. It was, though, and I wasn't on pills. It was, though. I was sitting there at all time, like, this movie is fucking rad. It was hitting for me so hard.

I'm pumped about the second one. Fucking shark prince fighting the crab emperor or whatever. Fucking this shit was wild. Got his dick rock. Wow. I cannot believe you all are sitting here. saying Aquaman was one of the best films of that year. I hope y'all get on fentany.

I mean, I meant best comic book movies. Like, I wouldn't say film, but like, well, I don't know, man. I love it. It was fucking rad. It was super fun. It made a shit ton of money. What do you think makes something the best? You know what I mean?

Like, God damn it, it was. I thought part of reason Tray was telling that story. I thought it was universally panned even inside that genre. No. No, hell no. It's divisive. There's definitely a lot of people that think that it don't hit, but it's like, it's got.

its defenders for sure. And yeah, made over a billion dollars. It was a big, yeah, but there's, there's plenty of reputable critics that were talking about how it was like DC's

return to form, you know what I mean? Because like, but only because the bar DC has set has been just so, so almost unbelievably low that a production company

slash studio or whatever with all the money that they have, with some of the strongest IP in the whole goddamn world. can just make fucking dog shit after dog shit. And now some of the ones that have been called dog shit,

I've still enjoyed. But to me, Aquaman was genuinely fucking awesome. And Amber Hurds crazy ass look fine, hain. So, like, it's a win for me. What's that from? Is that Pablo Francisco? Pablo Francisco.

Yeah, because everybody does it now. Fine. Yeah. I want to lay. You're down. You're down. That was from his Comedy Central special or Premium Blend One. I bet I'm pretty sure it was Comedy Central Presents.

I bet I'd listen to that goddamn. I had it, I'd had it like ripped to a CD. And I bet I'd listen to that fucking thing. Yeah, I couldn't even tell you. Go you smooth. Yeah. It's also good as an album. Fielke, yeah.

Fine, ha, hain. You know, it doesn't always translate. That album and Theo Vaughn's album with the hamster bid on it. are to me the best like two from our era non-video thing. Like I just go back to him in the car all the time. Yeah. Big Daddy. How many hamsters do you think it takes to get 17 pounds of hamster bones?

Just whatever comes to you. Say it out your face, Big Daddy. What you got? Had a guy say seven last week. Seven hamsters. 17 pounds of hamster. But it's some Galapagos Island ass hamsters. That's what he's talking about.

Dude, that Pablo Francisco Yeah, that was like Comedy Central was probably at like the height of its powers in terms of it stand up was going great. The Daily Show was with John Stewart. South Park fucking Reno, I mean, it was just crushing and it was back when they had that like, they had that rotating cast of like 20 comics who were on all the rows

were doing all the premium blends and shit. And Pablo like even stood out to me in that. you know what I mean as like this fucking guy because like most people are like just sound effects you know what I mean but he was like both and it was I don't know I'm not trying to dis Pablo Francisco I was also 15 14 15 years old there's a good chance I go back and listen to it and go I hold it okay it almost has to because I'm thinking about all the bits right now and I'm like that was fucking great I showed it to Andy like seven months ago and she was fucking dying and she was who is this, what happened to this guy?

And at the risk of standing like cops, I think it was drugs. Is that what happened to Bobbo? Yeah, I think he's a bit of a wildcat, a party animal. Yeah. I mean, dude, he's still out there doing it. I think he does the road and shit all the time.

Really? Back then, I don't know, because I, listen, I don't, all right, I wish him well and he's fucking hilarious. That's how I'll say. Yeah, I'll always love Pablo Francisco. He's the fucking man, having said that. I fuck it

again even this was probably five years ago but at one point I was like whatever happened to Pablo Francisco so I like looked him up and he had actually just had an album come out at that time right it was on Spotify and I checked it out so it's like he's dead my own

my point is he's definitely doing and writing and recording new shit but that album though bro it was like just like you're talking about the sound effects. Lunacy. It was just a,

just a cacophony of wild ass sound effects and voices are just like fucking like a damn, I don't know, like a vaudeville act or something like that, like seeing Michael Winslow in concert or something like that. To me, no disrespect. Seems like he was, I don't know, probably.

But it seemed like him. Yeah, Michael Winslow, he hits for me too. I hate feeling like I'm shit talking anybody. I'm just saying. No, no, no, no, dude. It was, I think it's like pretty... It seemed like it was hidden for the people that were there, but yeah, but it was like, it was Pablo Francisco, but like, you know, stretched out to the extreme, basically. Yeah, I mean, this is not shitting on him.

I think it's, it was, like, pretty well known that Pablo had some drug issues. And to me, like, that's actually the only thing could explain why he didn't take off more than he actually did because of how fucking good that special was and because of how unique he was. Yeah, that was the, that was. I think it brings us to a point we've always made here on the lower podcast, which is don't do, parentheses, too many drugs. Yeah. Yeah. Please don't do too many drugs.

I, uh, I'm very, I'm so goddamn lucky. I feel like I got to like the very end of where you have to go one way or the other. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, I'm here and it's like, okay, you're either going to be someone who, does drugs until you die or die sooner than you have to or you're just going to stop doing drugs. You're here and there's no there's no figuring out moderation at this point in the venture. You are either going to have to decide to be this guy or decide to be that guy and luckily I decided to be that fucking guy.

Was there a specific event or moment in time? Yeah. Yeah, like, well, it was like a culmination of like once you really understand how much of a role drugs and alcohol play in panic attacks and your mental health, like once you finally accept that, there becomes a part where you can no longer lie to yourself and say that it was something else. And so, I mean, I went to the emergency room after our Knoxville shows a couple years ago. I don't even think I told you all that. or maybe I did. But we had a show in Knoxville at the Bejew and like we sold both of them out and we didn't have anything after that.

And I was partying so goddamn hard that I just bought a hotel for two more days and just stayed in Knoxville hitting. And, you know, came across the bag of cocaine, was losing my goddamn mind, didn't fucking sleep. And one early morning, I was still up partying and I couldn't fucking breathe. And I was like, oh my God, dude, what the fuck? And I like, in my brain, I knew it was a panic attack. But I was like, man.

It'd be shitty if it weren't and you died because you thought maybe this is that. But I was so, it's so funny because I was like, man, an ambulance ride, that's going to cost way more money than I want to spend. So I Ubered to the emergency room, got in there. The women was treating me with no respect because they fucking knew exactly what was happening when they seen me. I was like, I think I'm having a heart attack. And this lady was just like, you know, twisting her gum. She was like, oh, are you, darling? Okay.

All right. Get to sit over there. And I'm like, I don't think you understand. And she gave me that look of like, I do understand. You've been in Knoxville fucking partying all weekend. So, you know, obviously, it turns out I was having a panic attack. They'd calm me down a little bit. And my wife calls me a couple hours later.

Or she'd been calling me that whole time. And then I called her back and she was freaking out. Because I didn't know at the time that she had it, she had the ability to track me. Like her, she knew where I was based on my phone. And I hadn't picked up in a while. And she just fucking looks at the phone and was. like, I'm at the emergency room in Knoxville, and so she's freaking to fuck out. And I was just like, yep, I'm not doing that no more.

You know what I mean? Like, I'm not, it's not going to be that guy. Just, it's not going to happen. And crazily enough, I have been more productive and have had a better center of gravity and have not thought about killing myself as much since I decided to be that better person. So, yeah, it was a culmination of things. So, well, first of all, obviously, congratulations. Thank you, buddy.

John Bernthal publicly told this story on me and him are the same. Marin or something where he was like when he was in his 20s, he was partying and doing drugs, drinker real hard, but he was also real like macho broie getting into fist fights and shit all the time. Like him and his bros would be bar fighting and stuff. He looks like that. Right. And he got into a bar fight one night, knocked his dude out, and he fell on to go. ground hit his head on the ground and uh knocked him out cold bernthal got arrested the dude got

taken to the hospital and uh they were holding bernthal and they told him and drew you're a lawyer i don't know this is how he tells it just because if he died that's what they this is what they said to him was we're holding you because that dude's either going to wake up or he's not and if he don't you're in deep fucking shit if he does then lucky you you know and bernthal said he was sitting there thinking like it's either like I'm either going to be this guy or I'm going to be this guy if this dude dies I'm going to prison and there ain't never no turning back for me I'm a beat you know I'm have fucking prison tats and just be you know choking people out over hoot for the rest of my life or whatever but if this dude pulls through it I got to get my shit together the dude pull 30 got a

shit together side note on that that new FX show the bear so great oh so good it is so good I've got a follow-up question for definitely Corey, maybe both of y'all, on that show in a minute. It is a really good show about a dude about working in a kitchen, guy in Chicago, whatever. That happens to one of the characters in that show. That exact thing happens to him. And John Bernthal is briefly in that show as the older brother that died. I bet it was. And I couldn't help but wonder while watching that, like, is that connected or a coincidence?

because I don't know if Bernthal's like a producer of the show or something. They probably like read that story at all. But like, I mean, it's the same thing. The exact same thing. That happens for sure. To Rich Yonder. I would say that they probably gave him a writing credit or, you know, something for that episode if he's not listed as whatever. But I think that sort of thing happens for sure, you know.

Either that or like they, that storyline was inspired by them reading that article. And then they were like, oh, shit, we could probably also get Barry. and thought of being this show, we hit. You know what I mean? Because they just had him on the brain. Wink, wink. The guy who got that show made is the guy who plays the repair man who doesn't actually work there.

His name is Maddie Matheson. He's an Instagram chef. And what I love about him and that story is, you know, they started wanting to do meetings with this guy because he had heat. And he was like, look, I don't, y'all find me a script that you think matches what I do because I can't fucking do that. And FX is the kind of place that will do that, you know. Anyway, that just really hit for me.

Dude. He was like, smart, humble, whatever the right word is, enough to be like, listen, I want to show. Thank you. But like, make sure I only have to do a little bit of the work because it ain't what I do. Okay. Speaking of FX, and we're not, hold on. Wait, before we move, before we move off the bear, I have something I want to ask you about it. I don't know how many people have seen it, but still, I don't care.

I want to ask you this question. Right after this break. Quick story. I don't know if it's my favorite story from Mexico, but it's definitely the one that I wanted to tell you all the most other than Andy getting attacked by a dog. We went to Voladoid, I think I'm saying it correctly, out in the middle of the jungle.

It is a place where the Mayans had a stronghold and the Mayan culture is still very, very relevant there. It's also a touristy part. You can go see ruins. The famous ruins, I'm not going to say it correctly, but the ones that's in every movie are right outside of there. There's a lot of places. There was a Mayan restaurant that Andy found online, authentic mine cuisine with a modern touch, whatever.

It had really high reviews. We went there. It was beautiful. It was in this cavernous old like hacienda with towel on the wall. So it was echoey, right? And everyone in there because it's so echoey is being quiet. There is a tortilla mama making tortillas in the corner by fire, the old school way. You can go and talk to her and they'll tell you how they make.

them. You know, this is how the mines used to do it. They got Mayan murals on the wall, that Kittich game that J.K. Rowling ripped off from them, but they played it with a severed head. I don't know what it was called, but they had pictures of that. It was rad. And I'm sitting there and I'm wearing, I literally this outfit, definitely this hat, but I think also this shirt, because I ain't done laundry yet, and I threw this on for the podcast to everybody. For those of you listening, I'm wearing a WDVX hat. It's camouflage. And I tie-dye pink shirt. And we're sitting there and it's quiet. We're eating our food.

It was truly incredible. It was one of my favorite meals. Very simple dishes. But just like, I don't know, it was for lack of a better phrase, to borrow them from the kids, it was a vibe. And we're sitting there and it's peaceful and the tortilla mama's there and they're bringing us our drinks. And we're just having a real nice lunch. And then I hear bouncing off the walls of this cavernous with tile loud as fuck. fucking WDVX

God damn and some jackass from Severeville just start screaming at me from across the restaurant because I have a hat on that alludes to Knox I'm from fucking Severeval man

can you believe that? And then he's like hell how long y'all been down here some we've been down here for a month we're supposed to come for a week we just been getting fucked up you know and he was really friendly and nice but it was so goddamn funny

that East Tennessee was in the building and as loud and as obnoxious as you could have expected. Everything would go off. No other way. What part of Mexico were you in? So we stayed in Touloum and Cozumel. That's close to Cancun. It's in that area.

We were in the jungle. I've been in the Cozumel before. I didn't go to the jungle part. Yeah, well, that hits. It does hit. I do need to go. Fentanyl is scary, but it's no excuse to give cops money. I felt it'd be important to point that out.

all fucking propaganda. Like a thousand people died. That's too many, but Jesus Christ. Yeah. Yep. Cops talking about. No cops don't. All right. So here's my question regarding the bear. Again, I hope we're not losing a whole bunch people right now. If you haven't seen

the show. Because Drew left? No, because I'm talking about the bear so much. I can still hear you. So okay, Corey. Uncut gems, if I'm not mistaken, you said that was almost too much for you to handle because of your anxiety, correct? Okay. I feel like, well, first of all, I love uncut gyms.

I don't have as much explicit anxiety problems, so that didn't even really bother me. I don't know if it's because I worked in a restaurant for years or what, but I just feel like the bear has the exact same type of thing going on. To the point where it does in moments. Sometimes it's like, I'm like, God damn, this is almost too much. Like, it's like, it's fucking. It definitely does in moments. It's intense as fuck. In a very, I feel like anxiety inducing way.

And I don't even have anxiety issues. So I just wondered how that worked for you. First of all, I agree. Second of all, I'm so sorry. Can I not leave? Because I have to leave. Because I have to do another riverside. You told me not to.

I know, but you can start it in another window, can't you? then leave and you can just send there's a way for you to send me your shit later so it's fine all right cool I'm so sorry no problem did that to me Trey it made me have nightmares of running out of Pepsi yeah so it won't just like

it won't just upload his shit because he left or whatever it's no he has to I have to give him a link later and he can click it and then do a whole thing anyway thoughts um I think that you are 100% correct. The only thing I will say that makes it more palatable to me is number one,

the bear has a lot more humor in it than Uncut Jims did, like a lot more. Number two, I genuinely think that Uncut Jims is that way the whole time and there's no let up, whereas in the bear, every now and then, they will cut to a scene where it's just two people talking. You know what I'm saying? So like all the Oliver Platt scenes, you know what I mean? Like they'll eventually break away from the kitchen. But yeah, dude, no, for sure, when I first started watching it, it was like, oh, wow,

but you got to understand something too. When I watched Uncut Gems, I was not on anxiety medicine. I'm on anxiety medicine now. So, I mean, you know, don't not make sense, I don't guess. No, yeah, that'll do it. Where are you at this week? You anywhere? Did you say to the time of the show?

I got a show in L.A. on Friday or Santa Monica. Then next week I'm in Lowell, Arkansas, September 23rd and 24th. That's up in northwest Arkansas, our old stomping grounds. Just about the only part of Arkansas I ever go to for whatever reason. It's been a little rock a couple of times, but been to that northwest part, a whole bunch. I'm going back next weekend because it's always a good time. Some new club situation there. Anyway.

As direction dumb as you are or you claim to be because we both claim to be direction dumb, you know the parts of the states were in way more than me. Like, I don't know where Riley is. I'm direction dumb on the ground. I'm not like, I'm not geographically dumb like in terms of math. and shit. Like, I know where, I know where parts of places are in relation to other places.

It's just like, if you put me on the street in Lowell, Arkansas, and you're like, find your way to literally anywhere, it would be extremely difficult. Or if you told me like, all right,

head north for five miles. I'd be like, I have no fucking clue what north is. I could go also, like, you know, I could, I can get around certain parts of LA now, but not like reliably.

Like places I go to over and over again, I can get to. But I can't be in like a part of LA, even after living here for five years, even like Hollywood, a part I've been to a lot. I can't just be in a part of Hollywood and be like, I know where I'm at and I know how to get back to Burbank or whatever. Right, right. I don't. I don't know. I don't know. I'll have to use my GPS for it. And so it's like I'm just, I have a terrible sense of direction in that way.

But I'm pretty okay with like geography as a subject, you know. Not me. I mean, I know where all the states are. Cities and shit. Yeah, like I know where all the states are and shit. But if I was to say, like, here's an example. Like if we were, I was like, oh, we're in, we're in Bentonville. And so and so is happening and name this other Arkansas city.

we should see if we can pop over there. You would be like, well, Bentonville's all the way on the northwest side, and that's what I don't know shit. I don't know none of that. I've been to Raleigh. Right. So many times. I don't know what part of North Carolina it's in.

I just drive to fucking Raleigh. You know what I'm saying? I got to go to Raleigh. So in the middle. In the middle part. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I've kind of figured that, I guess, by what I drive past.

Wilmington on the, on the ocean part, Asheville, on the mountain part. you know yeah yeah i don't know i just you realize how little you pay attention to like a lot of things because like there's places in chattanooga that like i've been to a million times but i'll need directions to get there and the reason is because most of time when i go i'm riding with a some bitch you know what i mean and i'm just like okay whatever and then when i actually have to drive there it's like i've never been there before in my goddamn life is that because is that a me thing because i'm stupid no no no that's not a you

I used to say, like, back before, like, GPS stuff and things like that, I would tell, like, if I'd been to a buddy's apartment or something when I was in college and then I'd be, you know, text them or something, be like, yeah, just come over and I'll be like, okay, you know, where do you live again? If they're like, well, you were just here the other day. And I'm like, yeah, but Thompson drove or whatever. Yeah, right. If I don't, if I, not only did I have to be the one to actually drive the route, I probably would have to do it a couple. a couple of times, two to three times before I actually knew how to get somewhere. And if I just rode in a car, then no, I would have no fucking clue. I've always been like that.

And it really sucks. I mean, I guess our generation is, we're lucky, though, because like, yeah, right. We wouldn't have been allowed, we wouldn't have been able to be like this back in the past. We would have had to pay more attention and shit. Well, I remember, you know, when I first, like, I remember I took a trip to Florida in college, spring break, and GPSs were not on phones yet. This was still the era of flip phones.

You had to print it out. You did MapQuest. You go to MapQuest, get directions and print it out. And I printed out directions. And I did both ways, going there and going back. I had to stop at a gas station going there. And I found out actually that they had like just built a new highway or something like that. So the directions were I kind of wrong, which was a thing that could happen.

them, but it didn't throw us off too much. But on the way back, I took like one wrong exit. And I drove probably a hundred fucking miles in the wrong direction, probably, at least. Like I drove almost, we were in PCB and I ended up driving like all the way to Destin or something like that. And then before even realizing it, you know, so like it would have been shit like that all the time if I wasn't living in the era of GPS devices. Because, yeah, I got lost. terrible. I got lost on my way home from my first day of work at Abercrombie and Fitch, because this was also before cell phones and shit like that. And this is an interesting little

nugget. So when I was a child, Trey, I only saw my papaw twice in my life. And one of those times was when he was in a box dead. Now, when I was a kid, I'd heard the legends of him. He was, oh, everybody loved him. He was so funny. And he just couldn't, he couldn't come see me, you understand, because he lived all the way up in this magical place called Decatur, Tennessee, that was so far away than it would be unfathomable for him to come see his grandson. Or so I had literally been told and believed my entire life. Like I let him off the hook for it because I was like, well, it's a long ways away. I'm coming back from my first day at work at Abercrombie and Fitch, which is up by the mall.

And damn, if I don't take the wrong split on the highway. and the reason that when I noticed that I was in the wrong spot was when I look up and I saw a road sign that said exit for Decatur. And in that moment I went, that motherfucker was right here the whole goddamn time. But like I had to, my point is I had to stop and go to a gas station and ask a guy. And I didn't even say,

how do I get back on? I didn't remember the number of the highway. I was just like, I'm going. to hear, what do I do? And he's like, get here, go to 75. But like, yeah, bro, like, dude, imagine if we had to deal with that shit on tour, man. Imagine, imagine, us three dumb motherfuckers in a car.

I don't know how them guys did it, man. I don't either. I think about that all the time. Because before MacQuest, too. I know. You had to, like, buy a map or stop somewhere and ask somebody or whatever the fuck. Also, you'd have to, like, call on a phone to book, like, tickets, hotel, rooms, rental cars, all that shit.

And if you're going to be late for the... Fathomable to me, dude. And if you're going to be late for the show, there's no text in the booker and saying, hey, hold up a little bit. It's like you've got to go find a pay phone and hope you have the number to the club. If you don't have it already, it's crazy. I don't think it's even an argument that it would have been easier to just kill yourself. You know what I mean?

And that's probably why a lot of comedians in the 90s. did it. They were just like, well, it's one or the other. Because like, I mean, again, I know that it's like, well, if we had have been born back then, we would have had to have all these skills, sure. But like, dog, I don't know. Like, they, they always talk about how, oh, it was a simpler time. It actually seems like it was a more complicated time. I think right now is a simpler time. Everything's fucking simple. Click this, click that, boom this. Like, everything back then was like there was just so many goddamn apps, man. It didn't hit.

Couldn't look up to see if a place that you wanted to go to was fucking closed before you drove two hours to get there. Like, mm-mm. Not from it. When a storm. Again, so much calling. Everything was fucking calling back then, and that didn't hit. They didn't have no motherfucking Doppler radar. I guarantee you that.

Doppler radar is probably our lifetime. So there was no warnings for tornadoes. It was just, oh shit. I mean, that's what people used to talk all the time about, like, you know, it was like a running joke for years and years that like the weatherman ain't no shit. You know what I mean? But it's like, you know, nowadays, nowadays is like, I feel like they do pretty good. They do pretty good, man.

You know what I mean? They've been doing pretty good for a while now. But back in the day, the weatherman didn't know shit. Everybody made fun of him being a dumb ass all the time. Yeah, for sure. It's funny too now when like, because, you know, I live in like fucking tornado alley in goddamn northwest Georgia. and some people sometimes if they predict a tornado and the tornado don't happen everybody will get mad and start cussing it to weatherman because he don't know shit thought I wasn't supposed to have a tornado yeah oh boy well all right well how about this tray thank you all for listening to well you know what before we do that one more plug for putting on airs it's me and tray's new podcast uh where we talk about fancy stuff and their culture for example
