Well, no, I'll just go ahead.
I mean, look, I'm money dumb.
Y'all know that.
I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life.
And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion,
because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing.
But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.
It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month,
how much you're spending.
A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis.
I'm not going to lie.
I can be one of those people.
Like, let me ask you right now.
Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people.
People across the ske universe, I should say.
Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year?
Do you even know?
Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery?
Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main?
Because that's a thing that we do in this society.
Do you know how much you spend on that?
It's probably more than you think.
But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better.
And it's called Rocket.
money. Rocket money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions,
monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket money
shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a
subscription, you don't want any more, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out
your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days.
In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create custom budgets based
on 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 practice.
practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that.
Also, a fun one I'd said it before, but I had a, I got an app, lovely little app where you could,
you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that.
So obviously I got, I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like
twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies, you know, those weren't a little like
the cue ball looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was that in response to? What was that
reply I give for just when I did something stupid. Something fat and stupid. Something both fat and stupid.
But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for
it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out
to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted
subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money. Go to RocketMoney.com

And we thank them for sponsoring this episode of the podcast.
They're the liberal rednecks.
They like cornbread, but sex, they care way too much, but don't give a fuck.
Hey, we're all rednecks that makes some people upset
But they got three big old dicks that you can sun
So y'all are out in California
So this probably doesn't happen to y'all
Or maybe it does, I don't know
Because I know the temperature does change from completely boiling hot
To less boiling hot
And that's your fall, I guess
But you know like in the south
Where it's like we've had summer
And then you start getting those first like awesome days of fall
And it's like, I mean, Kirk Cobain said it best, weather changes moods.
It's amazing.
You're like, oh, my God, it's jeans and sweatshirt, whether this is amazing.
And then you immediately get sick just because the weather changes.
Like, that's it.
Does that happen to y'all out there?
Yeah, it does for me.
But I've all, you know, I've got real bad sinus problems.
Yeah, right.
Sinicitis.
I've had surgery for it and shit.
And basically, if I wake up in my bed in California and my sinus,
are really, really bad before I even get out of bed.
I pretty much know that it's like rainy out or whatever.
And I don't know how that makes any sense, but that's just how it works.
But whenever it's like a, in like the rainy season, which is, you know, short and rare
and in like January and shit usually, but that always makes all my stuff worse.
But also traveling oftentimes, like coming from a California climate and going into like,
oh, shit, they got winter here.
that will oftentimes make me come down with something which really sucks but yeah
I definitely deal with that well I'm in I'm in Tennessee so I did the thing you're talking
about and I have been spitting up green for three days yeah me too
what's going on there I was just in Oklahoma and it was pretty it was pretty warm
it's perfect here right now it's crispy at night you're just starting to smell people
are mowing for the last time when I love that
that when you could smell fall and grass.
It's the best.
Or fighting or fucking.
And, uh, yeah, it's perfect right now.
I'm sure we get hot one more time before I leave and won't get cold at all.
But yeah, well, I'm glad, glad we're talking about this because we got Raleigh,
North Carolina this weekend and it would not have occurred to me to like, oh, maybe I need
pants, like even a light jacket or something because it is October.
Because out here, I mean, it's hot of shit.
It was 90-some degrees yesterday.
Yeah, when Katie picked me up at the airport, it's still hot as hell.
Yeah, if you're listening to this, we are in Raleigh this weekend, October 6th through 8 at Good Night's Comedy Club.
And just a small note, Good Night's Comedy Club is not in the location that you saw us at last.
Now, it would have been nice if I had in front of me the exact location that it currently is.
I do not, but it's on the website for sure.
Yeah, do your own research.
Well, if you go to the website, go to buy tickets.
You go to well-read comedy or try Crowder.com and then find the link either way.
But then when you get to the actual ticket link, it definitely says it on there.
I know because that's where I saw it.
But yeah, they're moving to a new permanent location, but it ain't ready yet.
So they're in like a temporary pop-up spot this weekend.
So, yeah, it'll be interesting.
But they still got a full bar and at least some kind of limited menu.
So, you know, we'll have a good time.
But yeah, yeah, it's a bummer because that was one of the, that was one of my favorite clubs
in the whole country.
Without question.
They didn't, they didn't, it wasn't their choice, evidently.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B.J. Barrum said that they tore down that whole block or something.
It was like some big city development project or something, I guess, that people fought for
years and then finally lost out to the big corporate interest.
Ain't that America, but now.
I can't believe it.
Yeah, so I guess that's what happened.
So it's nobody's fault, but it is a bummer for sure.
Have we talked about how we and other people say,
ain't that America in that in that songs tone ironically but that is what the song is about
you mean the song is ironic I don't even know the song is yeah the song is exactly how we say it
really yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah for sure I didn't even know uh to be honest with you
well most people wouldn't because you only hear the part they snip out for Ford and
truck commercials yeah right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I mean, I definitely heard the song before, I guess,
but I couldn't tell you any of the lyrics other than just that, those three words and the melody.
It's just typical Bruce Springsteen stuff, like trying to get ahead and you can't.
Or John, yeah, but it's.
John Mellencamp is Bruce Springsteen light.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let me look at, let me get up the lyrics here.
While you're doing that, let me plug Atlanta, something whiskey exchange.
I can't remember the name of it right now.
You can see it on the website, Drew Morgan Comedy.com.
I got Atlanta the 21st and Savannah, Georgia, the 22nd.
and I'll be at the comedy store in L.A. on the 24th for CultureCorp, a monthly show that I'm now a regular part of playing the bailiff.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
I guess, yeah.
As far as solo shows, it's only California for me, the whole rest of this year, which I hadn't realized until just now.
But, yeah, I got out of Oklahoma last weekend.
We've got well-red shows in Riley and then the Christmas shows at Zanis.
But other than that, I'm in San Jose, Oxnard, and Brea,
and then whatever LA shows I do.
And then that's it for the rest of this year.
I've been hitting it pretty heavy, but the rest of this fall, not too bad.
Then in 2023, a whole bunch of other shit coming up.
So, Trey Crowder.com for both solo and group dates.
I'm at part-time funnyman.com.
And aside from my limited schedule with the guys,
the weekend after we're in Raleigh,
which is this week in October 6 through 8,
I'm actually going to be back in Raleigh
and also Asheville, North Carolina,
doing a little stage play
with Old Gods of Appalachia reprising my role
as Jerry Brotherton with a cast of far more talented voice actors,
so I'm very excited about that.
I think it's old gods of Appalachia.com.
You can get those tickets,
or you can Google Old Gods of Appalachia tour or whatever,
and I'm excited about that.
It's going to be super cool.
But other than that,
You can just find me at part-time funnyman.com.
Okay, here we go.
Ain't that America lyrics.
There's a black man with a black cat living in a black neighborhood.
He's got an interstate running through his front yard.
You know, he thinks he's got it so good.
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning up the evening slop, god damn right?
And he looks at her and says, hey, darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock.
But ain't that America, you and me, ain't that America something to see?
That's a little sweet.
that America.
That is that.
He definitely is bringing you in.
I think when most people hear that, they're like, okay, yeah, that is America.
Right on.
Then here we go.
Well, there's a young man in a t-shirt listening to a rock and roll station.
He's got a greasy hair and greasy smile.
He says, Lord, this must be my destination.
Because they told me when I was younger, said, boy, you're going to be president.
But just like everything, those old crazy dreams, they just kind of came and went.
Ain't that America?
And so far, we're not really.
Now, yeah, it's not as like political or whatever as you think.
Yeah, it's more like, yeah, cultural.
Right.
But it is like dreams don't hit.
Right.
Nothing hits, really.
But hey, we still love each other and get drunk and listen to rock and roll music.
And that's pretty cool.
Even though nothing hits, ain't that America.
That's sort of the vibe I'm getting so far anyway.
Here's the final verse here.
Well, there's people and more people.
What do they know, no, no, no, got to work.
some high rise and go on vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico.
Oh, yeah.
And there's winners and there's losers, but they ain't no big deal because the simple man,
baby pays for the thrills, the bills, the pills that kill.
Oh, but ain't that America.
I think John Mellencamp was fucked up when he wrote this.
Like, these lyrics aren't really.
This where became the Cougar.
Like, it's so it, this is just such a perfect example of how if you've got a really good
melody and catch you all that other stuff, the lyrics sometimes don't matter.
because a lot of it is kind of just nonsense.
You know what I mean?
I mean, I don't know.
I feel like I get what he's saying, but it is, but it is still very sort of like,
he's doing this, he did da, that, that, but that, that kind of way.
It's very sort of like, yeah, it is country song.
And that's what I was going to say.
It's like, it's like, because it's sort of, to me, it sounds like, it sounds like he's
going for this thing where it's like, oh, man, who's keeping it real right here.
Right.
But, but he's not really saying all that much.
You know what I mean?
It's like, yeah.
It's like it has.
this mood of like saying stuff but not really all that much stuff is being said.
Yeah, we do that all the time.
Yeah.
What is that?
That's my number one bag, baby.
What is the Springsteen song that right winger's used for their campaign?
Born in the USA.
Yeah.
It's not like that.
On this one,
it's a little bit.
That one's heavy-handed.
It's a little bit Melanchamp's fault that conservative or whatever pro-America people are like,
see, it's going well.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, the subtext is,
maybe America sucks, but like, you really have to be looking for that.
If you're looking for America rules, that's in there too.
It's there too, right.
Whereas born in the USA, it's pretty, I mean, I love Bruce Springs saying,
and this is to me a feature, not a bug, but that motherfucker, you know, he pretty much puts
it right there, like, this is what it is.
There's not, there is subtext, but he does, but yet, like, how so many people don't
know or because they just hear the chorus.
I know, but it's so, it's so wild.
It's just like the same thing has happened with the drive-by truckers.
Jason Isbell's had it, whatever.
And it's always like, every time I'm like, have you been paying any attention?
But they haven't been.
They just sort of like, they just sort of hear the pleasant sounds that they like or whatever and just don't even.
Dude, fucking, right.
It happens to rage against the machine.
Yeah.
And that's like, that's literally their name.
Yeah.
The machines over there like, hell yeah, that rules.
Hell yeah.
Right.
The machine loves rage against the machine, dude.
Big fan of the rage part.
I can do without it being against the machine.
I don't know who this machine is, but I think I could see the top of your computer or something, just so you know.
I don't like pronouns or whatever.
It kind of hides my belly, so I kind of don't care.
Hey, let me ask y'all.
So that is happening or has happened recently with a comedian we all adore.
Bill Burr, I don't think Bill Burr could be quantified politically.
Well, maybe he can after what just went down.
So like on the one hand he hates corporations
He hates big business
He's been very open about how the American
Political sphere is ran by corporations
Which makes him sound lefty
But he's also been very anti-woke
And he's been pretty misogynist as a through line
Throughout his career
According to him, that's his words
In a real funny way
He just read a letter that a right-wing fan sent him
Because he was basically saying
everything you grew up hearing about socialism and socialist countries is true in America.
And most socialist countries are doing fine except for the ones our CIA tried to disrupt and our policies have tried to ruin.
And that's another one in comedy where I'm like, were y'all listening?
And it was like, well, we were only listening to the we hate women parts.
Exactly.
I've heard Bill Burr, I've heard Bill Burr say on countless podcasts that he's been on some version of like, you know,
Generally, I'm leading pretty left or I'm a let whatever, like, and then he'll, then he'll, like, counter it with, but I don't know about this woke shit.
He's a common sense, like, pragmatist, but he's like, he's like, he's like, liberal, dude.
I'm telling you.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, I even try to do a joke about this and y'all know it.
That generation and even ours to a certain extent, the F slur was our rebel flag, where it was like, yeah, we don't mean that to me.
Please don't make me stop.
Yeah, right.
He held on to that kind of mentality.
For sure.
For sure.
For sure.
But, like, yeah, I mean.
when he laid that whole thing out about, they're like, look at what socialism did to Cuba.
And it's like, yeah, but we have actively not let Cuba succeed.
We have not let Cuba trade with us and our allies.
Nothing would work.
It wouldn't matter.
Fine, actually.
Yeah.
You've you seen how many cool old cars that have?
Looks sweet.
It's also like their life expectancy is higher than ours.
Their health care is better than ours.
They do have less hitting stuff.
I will grant you that capitalism is king when it comes to, like, can you have 15 different sweatshirts of various colors?
Capitalism ain't a bit in that regard.
No, materialism, like consumerism, all that stuff.
That's what capitalism is all about.
Yeah, man.
And I'm so conflicted by it off.
Fascism.
Because like if you, if you, if I take a like, you know, every year, I don't do this as much anymore.
But I used to, like, there's some, it might be politico or something.
I don't know, where basically you can go in and take this blind test.
And it's like 150 questions, very specific, very specific questions.
And it will pop out the like, well, regardless of whether you think you wanted to vote for this part, you actually lean more towards this candidate.
Like if you really believe all that stuff, this is kind of your candidate.
And for the most part, mine was like always Bernie Sanders.
You know what I'm saying?
It was like with what I believe, with what I believe and what I think is right.
but then I'm I am a fucking materialistic consumer to death like I love you know having nice shit
I like having expensive toys and I hate the law of like there wasn't no question there wasn't
question on there like would you rather give up all of your shoe collection yeah right
blacks don't get a vote anymore and you're like ah they had a good run yeah well it wouldn't be that
But, like, people, you know, when they're creating that bogeyman of, like, socialism and communism, basically, they're like, they always like to throw it to this.
They're like, you realize if we had that, then there'd only be one brand of milk.
You get that, right?
Like, there'd be one brand of milk, and you, it might not be milk, but that's the one out here because that's the most important to me.
But they're only have one milk.
One type of milk, and I'm like, would the milk be good?
I thought they only wanted one milk.
I thought they did all these new milks and we're like, get this gay-ass milk.
out of here.
Whatever happened to the one milk.
Bring back one milk.
One milk. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you know what I mean?
There wouldn't be no competing corporations and yada, yada, yada.
And like, I mean, if all that's true, I hear you.
But like at the end of the day, if I did have to pick between, all right, we got one milk.
But my sister will not go bankrupt if my niece gets cancer.
I fuck it.
I guess I'm drinking one milk.
But that's not, that's not what it is.
And that's a hell of a thing for you to say, because you generally prefer, you prefer all these three milks, sometimes four.
Trace.
Trace is trace.
Trace is the least amount of milk.
Yeah, right.
At least three milks.
100%.
I think you have four or five milks for dessert before.
I just farted.
Oh, I have it.
Like milk.
My farts, let me tell you something about it.
Hang on, hang on.
Won't you tell us about your farts right after this?
So, me and Drew did a festival this weekend.
the second bell festival in knoxville.
And if you didn't come and you were close by, you blew it.
You blew it.
It was so much fun.
We had the tent full.
We got to hang out and listen to Big Boy after that.
But that was my, you know, I do this thing where like, I just won't drink for a long time.
And then there will be like an event and I blow it out.
And I blew it out.
I did get blackout, which that happens to me now, even on less alcohol than it used to.
Because y'all know that, like,
Because of my, well, but also because of my antidepressants goes down because you don't drink as much.
My tolerance goes down, but also my anti-depression medication.
I don't know.
Yeah, you ain't supposed to do that neither.
No, you're not.
No, you're not.
Also, I think he's store alcohol and fat.
I think as you lose weight, you're going to get drunk quicker.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's all that.
So he just, everything is conspiring to make him drunker.
Every choice in his life is going to make him drunker when he does drink.
So that's good.
But I did have a good time.
And it was one of those where like usually it happens every four months I get super drunk.
And I usually regretted immediately.
This one I didn't know because I did feel bad.
But like, man, we, we hung.
Well, no, we hung out with all our buddies that we never get to see.
Me and you had a really good time together.
We did the, it was fun.
It was like this was, this was worth it.
But I'm not used to, I'm used to treating my body really good now.
And so it now rejects shit like that.
Because like the day afterwards, I came home.
And it was, you know, when you're.
you're so hungover, you're just empty and like you can literally eat 10,000 calories and nothing goes to you up.
So I had like, bottomless whale.
Just a fucking cow.
Endless void on those days.
So I got home and that weekend while I was gone, Amber had gone to like a football party or something and they had sent her home with like leftover dips and soups and stuff.
So all I had to eat the day afterwards was like a whole thing of Buffalo chicken dip, a whole case of French onion dip.
Three bowls of French onion soups.
And when I tell you, the stuff that came out of my butt would make you think that Drew's average road fart was a goddamn daffodil, son.
This shit.
And also, and I wanted to, this is really what I wanted to ask y'all.
If, because we all know that diarrhea means, we all know that diarrhea means that you're not healthier, you've eaten something bad, right?
So whenever you have diarrhea, you're otherwise not feeling good.
However, if you could flip a switch right now and you're living.
living healthy and everything is healthy about you, but you could just have diarrhea.
Like that would be your mode of transportation for shit out of your colon.
Are you asking me?
No.
Yeah.
What?
I think he's wording it wrong.
Hell no.
I think he's wording it wrong.
No.
I think he's, I think he's.
I think he's.
I think what he means is, and maybe you do know what he means and you just say are
against it, you just go to take a shit.
It comes out quickly and immediately.
Yep.
And you feel empty.
But as liquid.
As liquid.
As blood water.
But then you don't run back and forth like with diarrhea, diarrhea.
No, no.
It's just that your normal shit is diarrhea.
Nope.
No, absolutely not.
I choose it because I've been eating so healthy.
I love a big normal, you know.
It hurts my asshole shit.
Well, that ain't supposed to happen either.
Like, they're big.
They're huge.
You're pouring your own asshole out that, you know, that's also.
But they're healthy big turds.
It sounds like you backed up a little.
A little too hard, I think.
You need some.
Supposed to be a little more soft serving.
This is,
we're really in it now.
This is explicit poop talk.
I'd like to move on.
But I've always,
my point is,
is that I've always genuinely liked diarrhea as a,
as a way of shitting.
I have,
like again,
when I'm truly done,
where you're just,
there's nothing inside my body.
It explodes out.
But like,
I feel that way when I have a good poop anyway,
and now I would like to.
Me too.
Me too.
Okay.
Yeah.
Uh,
but,
I went to talk about Hershey Walker's going to say.
That's fine.
That too.
I also, I'm not going to do it.
I have something I definitely want to make a point to do today, but I'm not going to do it right now because it would be disrespectful.
Well, I want to talk about Big Boy real quick.
Oh, yeah.
How good do you think Big Boy was?
Like, think hard about it, his age, but the hits, but all that.
Like, how good do you think Big Boy was?
Like, if I wasn't doing it this way, what would you have thought?
I would have thought it would be
I saw Big Boy once at Bonarroo
just like a solo big boy
after that Sir Lucius left foot album came out
the one with Daddy Fat Sacks
I saw him on that tour at Bonarue
and it was fucking doing great
so I would have expected him to be great
I'd say like an eight
probably
10 and a 8 out of 10
is one of the 10
I mean I'm not surprised
It was one of the 10 or so
that I've ever seen
and my favorite thing
and I think anyone
who creates could learn from this.
I mean, it would probably take a lot of time and effort.
But like every musician and comedian I know
has a thing that they don't want to hear anymore,
that they cringe, that they don't want to perform it anymore.
Not Big Boy.
Big Boy said, end I quote,
they told me I only had 35 minutes left,
but I got too many hits for that shit.
He played every hit with pure joy.
He was like, this song won a Grammy.
There was no like, oh, I've,
I've been doing this for 20 years and I'm over it.
He did the dances from the videos from 15 years.
It was like someone who was.
Was his aisle there?
But he did have Sleepy Brown.
I didn't see him.
Yeah, it was very, very awesome.
And like, here's how awesome it was.
I watched most of it alone because I lost everybody because I was drunk.
And it didn't bother me a bit.
I just stood there.
And I finally found Jake James, but he was Jake James and a girl.
They was okay.
And I was like, I better said that.
I was like, I better stay away from this.
So I just sat there and just vibe to Big Boy, just like with a drink.
And buddy, yeah, it was awesome.
Like Drew said, like, he, to steal a phrase from black culture, he understood the assignment.
He was like, these motherfuckers want to hear the hits.
They want me to be enjoying the hits.
It was great.
Like, yeah, they played the music video.
So like when it was Andre's time, Andre would be up on the screen and shit.
Like, it was dope.
And we had artist passes and that was cool.
you know, we felt all, all, uh, included and shit.
And yeah, it was, uh, it was dope.
It was a great all around weekend, man.
I can't really like, every time I go to Knoxville, I fall more and more in love with it.
And as a dogs fan, that's crazy to say, I guess, but like, I just, yeah, right.
It's just you can't deny how awesome Knoxville is.
And especially in that, like that scene, like everybody really turns up for it.
It was, uh, it was cool.
Now, that's about the time I stopped remembering anything about tonight.
you still actually remembered the show
because I remember Big Boy.
I remember a concert before and, you know.
Well, I was like, I didn't hear.
There was one example of Andre 3,000 being on screen,
and it was the last song.
They skipped all his other verses,
but, but like, no, that's true.
I was there.
But that was one of the coolest parts.
Like, their encore started out with Andre's face on screen.
I think it hits so hard.
What just got to do with him?
He's drunk.
He said that it happened a lot.
They kept showing Andre's parts on a screen, but they kept skipping Andre's parts for the most part.
Sleepy Brown did.
I think that he, I think,
I think Brown is the guy who sings real high on all their tracks.
It was cool that he was there.
I think that it hit so hard that my post, my current brain went back and edited in post.
You know what I mean?
You know how that happens?
No, I don't, I remember everything.
We got up to the bar and I remember that dude coming up to me and you,
and it was the oldest I've ever felt.
my live talking about how we were like, you know, one of his inspirations for getting into comedy
and he bought us a beer and he started like explaining my cadence to me and stuff. And then you told
me about that. And then I said, and then I said he just did the same thing to me separately. So,
all right. Okay. I put them together. I put them together. See, I think that's what my brain does is my
brain edits in post. Like where you remember, but it's, it's pieces. Well, I think. Well, I think,
two, it's like my brain edits it into how would I tell this to people in the best way possible
in a story. And it's like, okay, yeah, that's not what happened in the book, but we know on TV.
It's like, let's just make these two scenes, one scene, because we can get through it better.
So like, if I was telling that to a story, I wouldn't say, he separately said, I would just be like,
he came up to me and Drew. And again, I don't do this consciously. I think that my brain is like
Final Cut Pro and it just does all that shit. And it's like, and here's what happened.
This whole conversation is centered around the question of when you got black.
So the fact that you're doing that makes it seem like you're not aware of when that really started to happen.
Yeah, but that is brownout.
Like you said, blackout means I don't remember shit.
Brown out is I was in and out.
Say goodbye.
No, because I texted you the next day and I was like, I do not.
That's when I get worried is like, if I don't remember saying by to people that I know for a fact I go out of my way to say goodbye to, I'm like, I either get worried that A, I didn't or be like, good God.
did I do?
That's why you do what I do and just do the old Irish goodbye.
And I made.
I'm not saying.
By man.
Just thought by Blank.
Just bounce.
You know, Humphi Jeff Blank's face and he did a bit he'd been doing all life that I'm
certain you'd heard.
Maybe not though.
Where he was grabbing the inside of your thigh and he was saying, Pappall got you
Hyman.
And you reacted just like that.
And it is funny.
I don't remember that at all.
I could have swore you'd heard him do it already.
So that's what I was like.
I probably had.
Probably.
Yeah.
No, Jeff, the bit Jeff was doing all night that I remember was he kept telling me that he's writing a Scott Stap musical.
Yeah, he's been on that one for about six months.
Yeah, right.
And that's what I had.
He came up to me, but he came up to me in so matter of like the first thing he said to me,
we haven't seen each other in a long time.
And he walked up to me and I'm about to give him a hug.
And he goes, hold on.
Did I tell you I finally got the ending to the Scott's at musical?
As if you and him had been having a conversation about it for six months.
Yeah, right.
Is it?
He's like, I didn't tell you about this shit.
And I was like, no.
But yeah, we had fun.
I got Jack James and that was a blast.
So that's all I got on that.
And now I probably won't drink again for another four months.
And then this will be having the same conversation.
So you just aren't going to hit this weekend?
Is that what we're saying?
But my goal is to have one beer per show.
Okay.
I don't consider that drinking.
Yeah, that's fine.
I'm going to get drunk one night.
So since.
Yeah, we'll see how it goes for me.
Again, I've been at the solo shows.
It's been great.
I have a couple.
Before I go up there, I go up at the end, obviously.
So I get around and then I just stop.
Now I go to the hotel and I stay stopped.
Wake up feeling totally fine.
It's not an issue.
But I feel like this weekend probably be a slightly different story for multiple reasons.
So I guess we'll find out before too long.
But since y'all were talking about a musical artist's hitting real hard,
it's no longer disrespectful just to say.
Rest in peace, Loretta Lynn, that was the thing I wanted to say.
She died at 19.
on our list, right?
90 years old,
which is wild,
because, like, she had something,
you know, she had a little bit of a comeback there very late in her career
with that Jack White produced album, Van Lee or Rose,
which was like,
that's been like 15 years ago or something like that,
but that means she was still up like 75 when that happened,
you know what I mean?
Like, and that album was great, dude,
there's a song on there called Miss Being Mrs.
It's about like an old woman,
the dead husband and I can't even hardly listen to that goddamn song. Makes me
my mom. My mom sad as hell, but beautiful, you know, and there's plenty of other bangers on
there. But yeah, she's, you know, it's sad, but it's like nine, anytime somebody hits 90 or even
that, it's like you can't, to me, you can't really be too sad about that. It's like she, you know,
she crushed about as hard at that life as she possibly could have. So, you know, she won,
essentially. For sure. If you're in the entertainment business and you get to nine
everything else is completely gravy.
I'd say 68, actually.
Yeah, I think.
Because of the amount of hits that they get in by, like if Mick Jagger or Keith
Richard had have died at 57, yes, that's young.
But the amount of hits that they got in was more hits than anyone will ever get in their
life.
So like, that's all life is about is accumulating the hits, you know, and sometimes you get
enough of them.
It's time to go.
I can't now.
You froze up for a minute there, but you find.
now. Now he just died. He died for you. Yeah. Yeah, he's dead. So, uh, yeah,
that was, that was timed pretty hilariously. Rest in peace, Loretta Lynn. I think that we,
did we officially add her back to our, um, top 10 rednecks? Like, she came up in the conversation,
but now that we have to drop Brett Farb, like, Loretta Lynn's got to go in and she should have been
there to begin with, frankly. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I agree with that. Her come to her back.
Do you agree with that? What did you say, buddy?
that now that Brett Farrf has to go,
like Loretta Lynn probably should have already been in,
but like we've got to put her on the top 10.
She's definitely a hillbilly,
which I think,
you know,
we had conversations about that word
versus redneck and all that.
So I think that was perhaps what maybe kept her off in the first place.
I'm all for it.
All I wanted to say about it being sad is I think when somebody like Loretta Lynn dies,
you're sad that a time period's over.
Like someone tweeted something like one of the honky talk angels is gone home,
protect Dolly at all costs.
And it's like you realize and like, oh, this marks time passing.
These people who me and my parents looked up to are dying.
Dolly will die, hopefully not super soon, but like soonish, Willie will die probably
kind of soon.
Like that's what's sad is like, oh, time doesn't.
Yeah, that's over.
You're right.
That whole generation of like of stars that hit for your parents and some of them also
hit for you, you know, they were like mega-star.
star back in a time when, you know, a whole different era, but all the major stars of music and
everything back then, like, it won't be too much longer before every one of them is dead. And that's
just, and that's just all over, you know, and there ain't none of them left. And it's pretty wild to think
about. Yeah. And as George Jones sang famously, who's going to fill their shoes? Like, who's going to
be the ones that mega hit for us and also hit for our kids? Because, like, I feel like things are so,
like, back in that era, you know, you had the, you had the ones.
the radio and you had 10, you know, 10 channels on TV.
But now everything, there's so much more shit out there.
There's so much more niche shit that like you don't have that like crossover like, you know, like Elvis, like the bamas like them and the kids liked them.
Like we don't really have that as much anymore.
I also since we last spoke saw Tyler Childers twice at Red Rocks, I think it's possible that someone like him, if not him, could.
do it, but there'd be less. There's definitely not going to be like seven of them, but there might be a few.
With Tyler, he played some from his new album. He's got this song about hunting in heaven with his
hound dogs. And it's definitely the kind of song. Sorry, Trey. It's definitely,
it's definitely the kind of song that he could sell to Morgan Wallen and make a billion dollars.
But it's also the kind of song where he could refuse to do that and just kind of force country radio.
It's like, yeah, fill these calls.
Like, don't play this hit.
Like, this is a straight up country music banger, even by today's standards.
It is so great.
It is not offensive at all, but it like borders on it.
You know, like, like, you know, 13-year-olds are like, yeah, heaven sucks unless you can hunt or whatever.
So, like, I just, I feel like you're right that those people aren't going to be standard.
but I do think that we'll have people who enter into that fold.
I mean, I hate to bring her up for reasons that'll be obvious,
but I think Taylor Swift is one of those people.
Oh, for sure.
You know, it'll just be harder.
It'll be harder in country for reasons we've talked about ad nauseum on this podcast
in terms of pop country, but I think that will swing back.
Well, I don't know who the answers are for this,
but I feel like we're skipping a generation here.
And what I mean is, like, Loretta Loretta Linn brought this up.
and also like Keith Richards and people like that.
Those, they're like, they're, so Taylor Swift is like around our age.
Yeah.
I feel like the direct comparison would be somebody that like hit when we were younger.
They're older than us.
Yeah, Dave Grohl, food fighters, people like that, red hot chili peppers.
Like, Eminem, M&M, Snoop Dog, like, those people, I think, are more in line with what we're talking about right now.
Yeah, for sure.
I love Garb Brooks right now, and there was a bunch of young people at that Winona thing,
because as we've discussed, Gen Z's got a hold of 90s country,
so it may have just have taken time for it to happen.
I hope there is, is I guess all I'm trying to say.
I hope there are people like it.
That's actually going to be the weirder one, like, when we start seeing 90-year-old rapper,
like when Snoop Dogg's 90, you know what I mean?
Because, like, oh, God.
Yeah, even just them in their 50s because rap is such a huge.
He just like an unc now, you know what I mean?
He does it right.
They transition into unct form.
Some of them also hits, and then it's fine.
Some of them try to keep going.
I love him boozy.
But like the stuff he wraps about, if you watch him do it, like, if you're just listening to him, you're like, damn, okay.
If you're watching him do it, you're like, man, you may be nobody else in a decade, dog.
Buddy, he hates the gay.
Oh, yeah, he does.
He's gay.
Like, I believe he's gay.
He's definitely gay.
He also was, I'm afraid of him, and I live near him.
But he is gay.
Okay.
And also, let me preface this by saying, I think this was him.
If it was not him, it sounds like something he would do.
I know what you're going to say.
Was he the one that was bragging about how he got his, like, 13-year-old kids' dick sucking him?
By a woman.
Yeah, like, I'm laughing at the audacity, not, yeah, right.
He had, like, a prostitute or something, suck his 13-year-old kids.
So my point is, like, maybe Boosie's not the right example.
Maybe he's not, he's not the one that you should be like, I mean, well, even, I mean, as, as an artist.
The day Boosy goes, man.
Eminem's seems to have ridded the ship.
But there was definitely a moment there where people were starting to, like, be like, did he get lame?
Because he was still trying to, like, make pop hits and not being on.
Yeah.
He's right.
He's right.
He's right at the ship, I think.
As everything, Eminem was like, okay, never mind.
I'll figure out how to hit again.
But yeah, like when he was doing, like,
there was a couple albums there in the late 2010s or whatever
where it was just like,
dude, it's not 99 again.
And then, you know, he came out with fucking,
what's the one?
Rap God.
Yeah, yeah.
That shit.
We were like, what the fuck?
Oh, this guy still got it.
What about Ice T?
The guy who started gangster rap.
Yeah.
Not started it, but made it famous with cop killer is now a cop.
Now plays a cop.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, get that bag.
Yeah, fine.
That's fine.
You know, he's an incompetent one on the show if that helps.
You know what I mean?
You mean that this guy gets off with little girls with pigtails.
Yeah, man, I don't know.
Ice T.
It's weird because, like, he now is definitely more known for being an actor.
then he had a
for being a rapper
and that's crazy
like to just like
he because you're right
like people don't remember
that like no not only was he a rapper
he was like
the start of a movement
and one of the coldest motherfuckers
they ever did it
and then it's like
he's gonna act
and now like
again that career has
as long outlived
the first part of his career
that's crazy
the same way
for sure
listening to something
the other day
because Andy did
it's kind of wild
that both ice tea
and Ice Cube
followed that
trajectory, you know.
Well, I was listening to something the other day with Andy because she didn't know about
Tupac and Big.
So we listened to a podcast because she needed to learn her history.
And the person, the host was making the point that if you look at what Tupac was getting
into and how good at acting he was, if Shug Nye hadn't have become his manager and
kind of gotten his ear about, you know, gangster rap and all that, he might have been
what Ice Cube's career was.
like Tupac was a great actor.
Right.
And you'd probably be alive.
Yeah.
Yeah, you would.
No, but that's, yeah, you're right.
I think that, is that what they said?
I think that is what, it's funny.
Where did you hear that on a podcast or something?
Yeah, I don't remember what it was called because Andy found it.
We were driving across country.
So there's, I just watch, you know, Chris Rock is my number one guy.
I love Chris Rock, but I'd never seen Top Five, which was a romantic comedy that he wrote,
directed and starred in.
in 2014 with Rosario Dawson
because I'm not a big romantic comedy guy
but I saw it in my hotel
room the other night and I was like, you know,
you've got to be a Chris Rock
completionist, so I guess I should watch this
at some point. So I watched it and it's a very,
it's a very, you know, good movie for
a romantic comedy. It's very well done.
But anyway, they had a scene
in there with him and all his cousins got into a big
argument about Tupac because they were talking about how
they were robbed to somebody that would have been leading the
movement, how he would have been like a Malcolm X or something
like that. Chris Rock is like
Chris Rock is like, that motherfucker would be playing a detective on law and order right now.
It was like he would just went into a whole thing about how he would be, you know, an actor now and, you know, not Malcolm X.
Stan Hope.
I don't want to butcher by trying to keep going, but that was the gist of it and it was pretty funny.
Stanhope used to have that bit about fucking Kurt Cobain and talking about all these people.
They're like, oh, you don't have no idea how much they could.
have done. He's like, you ever thought that some people are just out of shit? You know what I mean?
Like maybe that's why he did it. Like they're like, no, Kurt Cobain would be this and he'd be
that. And he goes, no, Kurt Cobain would be playing the halftime show of the Super Bowl and you'd
fucking hate him. You know it. I used to have that bit about JFK. Yeah, right. Yeah, you did.
They all end up old red-faced and rapey. It's better that he died and we can pretend like he was
royalty. It really is, man. Like it's that Harvey Dent shit. It's like, let's just put
up the, let's put up the statue and forget about all this, because like if we, if he'd
went on, like, mm-mm, can't do that shit. You need heroes.
Speaking of heroes that suck now, uh, so have y'all been keeping up with Herschel Walker's
kid stuff? A little bit. I know, I mean, it's funny because his kid who's not generally
hit for me in any regard. Yeah, still not. Now that, now that he's, uh, seeming to
develop most of his time to talk and shit about Herschel Walker, uh, he hits a little bit more. Why did
you know him before before i don't know nothing about him he's a lot like patrick mhomes little brother
for yeah but also i i always saw him because he would go viral saying some like hardcore right
wing shit but in a very flamboyantly gay and also while he's reversed you kind of way yeah he's
reverse tray.
Yeah, he is.
Right down to having it handed to him from a famous dad.
And both of you almost got aborted.
This is crazy.
Who's the famous dad that handed it down to me?
It's the opposite.
He's your opposite.
Yeah.
Oh, he's like bizarro me and everybody.
Yeah, but anyway, every video, it wasn't just the stuff he was saying.
It was also always the context of this is Herschel Walker's son right here.
Right.
I mean, it's because Hershey Walker was already running for Senate.
It's his son.
His son's very gay, but also very conservative and would scream about it on the internet.
By the way, he don't never tell no jokes or nothing.
He don't hit.
He's not as much bitches.
That's all he does.
Yeah, right.
That's true.
Anyway.
But, yeah, so I had seen him do that shit before.
But yeah, now he's like going after Herschel Walker.
So, yeah, he is.
Well, the right wing, as they do,
they, as much as they do not like gay people or black people, it seems.
Whenever they find one, they're like, okay, right on this.
Only do it because they didn't do this thing that I just genuinely,
it's probably one of the most frustrating things that I ever deal with on the internet
or see.
Democrats do it for people, though.
They did that for trade.
For sure, I don't like any of them.
But when they go, they go, wait a minute, like with Herschel Walker, or well, you can't really say Herschel because he's running against another black person, so they can't do it there.
But they'll have this kid, this gay black kid, and he'll be saying these things that are awful, repugnant, right-wing talking points.
And then they'll go, oh, wait a minute, we thought you liked gay and black people as if wanting equal rights for everybody means that you think that means every black person is great.
gay person is great.
Like, they do that all to her.
I know we thought you would really like this guy saying the complete opposite of everything
you believe simply based on the fact that he is gay and black.
This dude literally is.
This is fucking.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
But now, now that he's going, now that he who was like the Republican, one of their,
one of their greatest.
Look, we got.
One of their greatest.
He ain't got no sleeves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So now that they've lost him as their.
like see like this is his son he's gay and black and and he's yeah for sure and like this is actually
the first time i felt kind of decent about a herschel walker losing because like it's really
like his own kid is coming out and going this he's listen guys yes fuck war knock and socialism
and all this stuff but like my dad tried to kill my mama paid for abortions was never
there for us and a lot of people were making the point that they were like uh you know that he
had the kid had thought that like oh if my dad gets to be senator everything will be great and now
that his dad looks like he's slipping in the polls now his son is just like okay here's my turn
to fucking flip and go against him. That's funny because that's also a Republican. I was about to say
that's right wing opportunity opportunities as it gets but like I've said all that to say this
like I genuinely have just assumed that Hershey Walker was going to win this whole time because
hey you know ever since Trump I don't I don't listen to nobody when they're like well there's
no way they're going to elect someone like this because that that ain't that's out to wind
now. But I was like, man, I was going to say, let me say, let me say, no, you go ahead.
No, you go ahead.
Things in response to that. Number one, the goal isn't, is only to just get less people to
vote for Herschel Walker. It's not like anybody's going to be like, well, I guess I'll vote
for a socialist. The goal is just to keep people from voting. Right. Then we move on
to the question, well, will that happen enough to work? On the one hand, our buddy,
who's a political operative, Tietz, ran a campaign where it came out, the Scott Dejarlay had
paid for a bunch of abortions, and he won
in a landslide. A very
different scenario. Georgia is much more purple
than the county. That was a state Senate
race, so those counties were a lot more red.
But still, Republicans often
don't give a shit about that. They only care about
their, you know,
policies. They're very good
at getting over stuff and voting, much better than
Democrats. But
one thing that I feel is shifted
in this conversation, and it
might be because Hersch was black, it might be because it's on
a national scale, or it might just be
the Zygd guy's moving a little bit.
A lot of people are pointing out
the issue isn't that he is a
hypocrite.
The issue is that by these voters
standards, he's literally a murderer.
So the question is
can you vote for a hypocrite?
The question is, can you vote for a fucking baby murderer
by your own standards?
And that's like,
that's a pretty great question.
And I genuinely think it's going to
be hard for some people.
I think a lot of these people are
just opportunists, whatever.
don't like taxes they'll vote for anybody.
But I think a lot of people are going to be like, or genuinely like, wow, he really is a baby
killer and I don't know if I can vote for that.
Right.
Right.
Because if you...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's continue this right after this.
Great point.
Because if they truly believe the things they say in that abortion is murder, then Hershal
Walker is a murderer.
I don't think that, obviously.
but they then have to, you're right,
they have to sit with the fact that like,
we would literally rather elect a four-time murderer.
I guess you.
And they do.
And they do, though, they would.
Like I saw,
I saw somebody took a screenshot,
and it was getting passed around a lot of the Walker son,
his tweet about my dad tried to kill my mom,
my dad's a loon ticket, paper, abortion, all this stuff.
One of the top comments on it was from some Patriot
with a flag profile picture.
or whatever, it said, please, just wait until after the election.
I'm begging you, please.
And it's like, so it's them just acknowledging like, listen, this ain't good.
Right.
It's like, you're not helping it.
Like, yeah, okay, we get it.
We get it.
He's a baby murder and lunatic, but we got, he got to win this thing.
Yeah, right.
Then we can talk about it after the fact, because it's like everything is preferable to, you know, a socialist, lived hard queer.
Well, one thing that I just thought of.
Who is a reverend.
I mean, I know, but he got a D-Biles.
I know.
One thing I just thought of they could believe that is somewhat logical is,
I'd rather elect a guy who murdered four babies,
but will make it illegal for y'all to murder babies,
then elect a guy who's going to let millions of babies get murdered.
Everybody murder babies.
So there is something.
Yeah, I mean.
Do that baby murder math.
That's what you got to do.
Yeah.
I've done that before.
I guarantee it.
$400.
You got a punch card and everything.
everything.
Oh my God.
I tried to,
yeah,
I don't know.
After Roe got overturned about what made me pro choice was paying for another man's
abortion.
I did that.
I've done that.
And like,
people weren't ready.
People weren't ready for anybody to talk about it.
Maybe they will be now.
I might bring that one back.
What?
They all have both paid for another dude's abortion?
Yeah.
And like,
yeah.
The joke was for me was like,
this is how I know I'm very pro choice.
is like imagining him with a kid made me super pro-choice.
It was like, no, no, no, he don't need a kid.
Here, take the money and let's make sure to keep the floodgates open.
I bought a dude an abortion and then later bought his wife a set of tithes.
That seems counterproductive.
Yeah, you're really trying to run against your investment there.
Yeah, right.
You've got a bad ROI, you know, you're going to have to get it.
He's going to get people.
More abortions down the road if you get the, yeah, right, exactly.
Yeah.
He don't want to be more abortions.
Don't get her tities.
It's pretty simple.
Well, he has kids with her now that they don't abort.
This was a long time ago when he was with a girl that he, that actually, he didn't mind having a kid, but this girl was like, absolutely not.
We cannot do this.
And he was like, but I'm broke and I'll have the money.
And he's like, oh, can you help me out?
I'm like, absolutely, buddy, I got you.
And then years later, he got married and I bought her some titties.
Okay.
That all checks out.
Corey,
it is wild.
That's a classic show,
show moment,
showman in time.
Corey,
you look up the lyrics
to like a rock.
I would love to,
Tray.
Because I realize
I don't have a clue
what that song's about
either, really.
It's also just trucks to me.
Chevy,
Chevy trucks,
you know,
but I'm assuming it's not about trucks.
While you're looking that up,
did Springsteen ever go that route?
Did he sell a song
to a company or,
you know what I mean?
mean. I'm not going to say he never did, but I can't remember one, you know.
All right. I got him. You want me to read him? I'm sure, yeah. Like a rock.
Stood there boldly, sweating in the sun, felt like a million, felt like number one.
The height of summer, I'd never felt that strong. That sounded a little bit like Garth Brooks.
It do. I was 18, didn't have a care. Working for peanuts, not a dime to spare.
But I was lean and solid everywhere.
Is this a gertricks? Is he going to fuck an old lady at the end of this? Is this an ad for Bluetooth?
My hands were steady. My eyes were clear and bright. My walk had purpose. My steps were quick and light. And I held firmly to what I felt was right. Like a rock. Like a rock. I was strong as I could be. Like a rock. Nothing ever got to me. Like a rock. I was something to see. Like a rock. And I stood arrow straight, encumbered by.
the weight of all these hustlers and their schemes. I stood proud. I stood tall. High above it all.
I still believed in my dreams. Twenty years now. Where did they go? 20 years? I don't know.
I sit and I wonder sometimes where they've gone and sometimes late at night. Oh,
when I'm bathed in the firelight, the moon comes calling a ghostly white and I recall, I recall
like a rock, standing arrow straight like a rock, charging from the gate like a rock, carrying the
wait like a rock like a rock the sun upon my skin like a rock hard against the wind like a rock
i see myself again like a rock oh like a rock there's a unreleased so that's pretty much
what you it's like a rock yeah well you know man i'm being a man there's an unreleased yeah that song
should be a truck commercial uh where he's like uh you know i fucked that whore then i fucked her some
more.
It's all about being in a whorehouse is what I'm getting at.
It's like,
you've got to read through it.
It's so,
it's the dick.
The dick is what Lacker Rock.
That song,
for you,
or you're doing to a prostitute.
Is that song hit for you?
Like a rock?
Fuck no.
Yeah.
No,
I've never been more vindicated in my life than this episode.
It's as if I.
That song,
that song,
that song don't,
that song don't really hit for me.
Bob Seeger does hit,
but that,
I mean,
that song,
like,
maybe if it hadn't been in all the commercials,
I might have,
liked it once, but it's not really ever been my favorite. It's not about anything.
Favorite.
Yeah, turn the page rules. Bob Seger rules.
All I ever said.
Bob Seger does hit.
You say it didn't hit?
No, I did not.
I said Ford was better.
And I stand by that a million times a million.
Yeah, but, okay, but, but the only reason you said foreigner was better is because me and
trade just happened to say something about Bob Seeger being good.
And you did that classic internet thing where you were like, you like pancakes?
Are you saying you hate waffles?
We were having a decision.
foreigners better.
Who was the best dad rock?
It was absolutely
apropos of the fucking conversation we were having.
Who was the best dad rock band?
No, you.
And I said Bob Sigler didn't even
binary with it.
That's insane.
No, we were talking,
we were just like, you know, just randomly.
Bob Singer hits.
And then you entered.
You know who who is Bob Sugar.
Well, I don't think we were talking to you.
I think you entered the room.
You know this.
I know exactly.
Hold on.
What are you saying happened, Drew?
Because I know literally exactly what happened.
That's a conversation about Dad Rock in general.
Correct.
That's correct.
I'm done.
That was all I'm doing.
Yes.
But you were, you see, you called, you said life as a highway was Dad Rock.
And I was like, this is more like mom rock.
That is how I was.
To me, Dad Rock is like Bob Seeger.
And you were like, fuck Bob Seeger.
He don't hit foreigners.
Forerner.
He said, he's better.
That's a lot of stuff.
It's born a better dad, right.
No.
You said, no.
You said, fuck Bob Singer.
Dude.
You're like, dude, fucking Bob, Shiger.
Beard,
like, get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
I stand by all the things that I said.
Corey said that I just randomly brought it up, which is not true.
I stand by all that.
Food fighters are better diet, dad rock than Bob Seeger, foreigner.
Food fighters are better than Nirvana.
How about that?
You would believe that now that you're a dad.
I believed it since I've been a kid.
Fine.
They're great.
They're all right.
They're the, they're the, they're the Bob Singer of the 90s and 2000s.
In that, in arguing.
Oh, fuck you.
No, you said they hit.
Bob Singer don't hit for you.
It's fine, too.
No, you don't.
You spread your butt publicly in that bar.
And you, you did.
You ford it.
How many fucking episodes ago?
By the way, we're in close to 300 episodes.
I thought we need to do something special.
I mean, okay.
Yeah, fair.
Yeah, that does hit way hard.
It's like four more years.
Maybe we want to do it.
Yeah, that's true.
It might work out, though, that we're in Nashville for the five or for the 300.
If that's true, then we still won't do anything special, but, you know, it'll be fun.
By the way, guys, while that got organically brought up, we are going to be back in Nashville at Zanis, like always, during the Christmas season.
you can get those tickets at well red comedy.com and we can't wait and also we're going to be
uh in raleigh this weekend october 6 through 8 i'm pumped i tried out some of my new uh about
to be a dad jokes at the festival and knoxville and uh they went over well the first time so i'm
fucking like really pumped you know you know the like that feeling that only a new joke can give you
it's so funny that you say after talking about a kid
Yeah, that's true.
Nothing else in the world can bring about.
But it's a very specific feeling that it sucks that.
But it's it's one of those like there's a lot of things about this business that like I can't explain to my friends a little bit.
But it's one of those, there's no words to describe how it feels when you think of a thing and then you don't know how it's going to go.
and it comes out in the first time it works.
Like, it is a feeling unlike anything else.
And, like, I think that's the thing that I cha-
like, it can immediately, it can make you be like,
I don't know, you just get fucking hungry again.
And I was so excited.
And I'm really pumped to have like a new way of looking at things
and getting material because, like, you know, there for a while,
it was just like, how much more cheese can we discuss?
I really like, you know.
As much maybe better.
when it doesn't work that well, but you know it will.
Like where you're like,
they laughed at the premise.
They're going to laugh.
Like, I just got to figure it out.
Yeah, that happened to me a little bit in my set,
and I realized it was because I didn't,
I was like, oh, yeah, you're supposed to know where you're going.
I was in the middle of doing, I'm about to be a dad jokes,
and they were all landing because I had punchline stuff.
And then I just out of nowhere, I guess I was hitting too hard,
and I couldn't have that.
I just got a bad feeling.
and I'm going to leave my baby in a hot car.
And then everybody stared at me.
And I was like, oh, fuck, I don't have an angle here.
And I kind of farted my way out of it.
But yeah, that was also in its own way exciting to be up there like, oh, fuck, how am I going to win?
But I'm pumped so you can see all that new stuff this weekend.
And Riley, Trey, you got any new I'm still a dad jokes?
No, I mean, honestly, the truth is, I mean, you know, hell, you know this, I would think.
I've never really done much
dad or child material.
That's true.
You're talking about how much of a lot,
don't have.
Yeah, I've done a lot of Katie and marriage material,
but I'm not saying,
I've got a couple ideas for things about the boys,
but I haven't gotten to them or tried them out yet.
Almost feels like a cheat code because they're so funny on their own.
I don't know.
I just have never,
I mean, y'all know how I am about the whole.
situation. I've just never been inclined to, I don't know, mock them. You don't, you can have
jokes about being kids. I just felt like to me, when I, especially when I was getting started comedy,
most of the jokes I ever saw from comics about kids were the exact same fucking thing over and over,
which was all like, right, how they're all fucking fun vampires and your life is over and they
stop and all your money. And they fucking, yeah, and just all that shit. And I just, I'll,
I never had any interest because I don't fucking feel that way.
But also, I just wasn't going to do none of that.
But it also just sort of put me off the idea of doing kid material in the first or just in general.
Yeah, right.
I feel that.
I mean, they're nine and ten now.
And I'm, again, I know I'm not going to do that.
They're abnormal kids.
So I'm like, again, I've got a couple in mind that I might be doing.
You just reminded me that I've been not doing a kid in a hot car line in one of my bits.
I need to keep doing it.
But it's not about having kids.
It's about, it's a, it's a, it's in the rural parents, a bit.
It's, but yeah, I had a line in there about that and I've been forgetting to do it.
So.
Yeah.
Just being sad while we're happy.
Yeah.
That's most of our head shots.
I believe, crap me if I'm wrong, show, the way this, this here new software we've been using for a while, the way it works.
Yeah.
The end product.
be doing that. Yeah, right. The imprado, yeah, right. It won't have none of the freezing or the
