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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's your boy Corey Ron Forster before we get started on the podcast here. You know to go to traycrouter.com to see Trey come into a city near you.

So after this ad from Congressional candidate Jerry Mander, we will begin the well-read podcast. Love you, see you by. Skiu. Hi, I'm Jerry. Jerry Mander, and I'm running for Congress in the great state of Georgia.

When I'm elected, parents will be able to choose what their kids learn, the white ones that have money and vote like me. The only thing critical about race theory is that we get rid of it. Our children deserve to know the truth about how this country was founded. Our ancestors who were, and it pains me to say it, from Europe, came here on a three-hour cruise. There, they discovered some Mexicans eating corn. One thing led to another, and we were invited to dinner.

The liberals try to spin colonialism as a barbaric takeover of an innocent indigenous people. And to that, I say, That ain't how the Mel Gibson movie went. Yep, call me old-fashioned, but back in my day, woke was something you did before you went to work. Of course, the liberals wouldn't know anything about work unless it was getting fisting. on only fans. Yep, I'd rather have a stroke than go woke.

At least I'd still be able to use the right side of my body to point out illegal immigrants. There's one right there! Democrats think your money needs to go to taxes for social programs that will make a better world. Well, not on my watch. If billionaires have to pay taxes, then how can they afford to buy and ruin a perfectly good social media platform? Or hire an attorney to represent them when their robot car runs over a toddler. Yep, typical liberals not understanding trickle-down economics. You see, the more money a billionaire has, the more that will trickle down to their children. Children who

lobby for pill companies who are responsible for multiple deaths in our communities. So this November, you need to remember to cast your vote for Jerry Mandor. Jerry Mandor, a chicken in every pot and a gun in every baby's hand. Okay, first off, welcome to the well-read podcast at your boy, Corey Ryan Forrest. I'm here with Trey. Drew's in Mexico, probably butt-necked, maybe smuggling drugs. We don't know. We have no idea. We haven't known where he was for several weeks. Please stop emailing us. Secondly, I'll go ahead and get it out of the way because I know that everybody's going to want us to do this, but I'm not going to go any further than you want me to, but I do have to say up top, go dog sick him, who, who, who, Silver Bridges boys, going to do it

again. Yeah, I mean, I knew we'd have to talk about this, which is fine. But that's all I'm say you don't have to go any further because I'm not one of those assholes that piles on. I, you know, I expected us to lose this whole time. I always expect us to lose, but especially against Georgia in Athens, especially when I saw so many people picking us and betting on us and all this stuff. And we got the number one ranking in the first CFP poll as soon as all that, it's all that shit. I was like, God fucking damn it.

Like, I know how, I know how this is going to go. but like I mean I said it on here after the Alabama game I was saying I was like you know the thing is I think there's an argument to be made that depending on how everything else shakes out it's really not that big of a deal or not the end of the world if we lose that game in Athens and like the other

the other games so basically Clemson got the shit beat out of them by Notre Dame that's huge for us. And also Alabama took their second loss in overtime to LSU. That's huge for us. So like, that's huge for us too in terms of we'll probably play in LSU, not Alabama.

And even if you're looking at it like, well, LSU is the better team. So why would you rather play them? It's because of the mental block with Alabama in my opinion. Yeah. So we just, we need y'all to just win out.

And then we need tech. TCU to drop a game somewhere. And they play Texas and then they play their biggest rival Baylor the next two weeks. So that could easily happen. They could lose both of them. Like, we just need a couple more things to break right. And I think Tennessee, you know,

could still make the playoffs anyway. Some people are saying, and I get like, oh, if Oregon wins the PAC 12 and they've still only got one loss to Georgia, they've won the PAC 12, they'll put them in over Tennessee. Or if,

or Michigan loses to, Ohio State, but that's the only game they lose. Of course, I'm extremely biased, but I would think, I would view both of those situations as being horseshit. Because I wouldn't know. Because with Oregon, with Oregon specifically, we'd have a common loss. We'd have a loss in common. And we were much closer to y'all than they were.

Yeah, right. And then as far as like Michigan, dude, Michigan ain't fucking played nobody. It ain't literally cupcake schedule. 10 sucks as much as it does right now. But it does. But it does. Them in Ohio State both, their best opponent is Penn State, who ain't shit. And then the whole rest of the conference fucking sucks right now.

So like they just, they just sleepwalk through the whole season and then play each other. And the winner of that is the champion. And that part's fine. Whoever wins that game, of course, they're going to the playoff. And I have no problem with that. But to me, the idea that the loser of that game was. still deserve to get in. I just don't see it at all because that's the only game worth of

shit. Either one of them has played the whole goddamn year. You know, whereas Tennessee went to Baton Rouge and beat the breaks off LSU, Tennessee beat Alabama at home. Like, it's just not, I would,

I'm extremely biased. It may not happen this way. But I think if you've got one lost conference champions, Tennessee is going to have a stronger resume than most of them and will be deserving of like a fourth playoff spot or something. Still, despite Saturday, but we'll see how it all goes down. Let me start off by saying I have zero idea how ranked choice voting works. Okay?

But, but at all, like, like if you put a gun to my head and said, make three guesses, I bet you all three of them would be dumber and more wrong than the last one. However, I'm going to pretend that it is that, candidates are assigned certain ranking points and each vote for them doesn't count the same as a vote for somebody. The point is,

an SEC team, a one-loss SEC team should have more cachet than any of those other fucking teams. Right now, as you said, the big tennis shit, and it is not fair to people in the SEC

that you and the SEC, well, if you don't go undefeated, you don't have a chance, We're all fucking playing each other. It's not fair. Like, it's not even a little bit fair. Because if I, like, I'm biased as a Georgia fan too. But like, if Tennessee wins out and their only loss is to us who came to fucking play,

they should go over fucking Ohio State. Fuck them. And fuck Clemson. I know they lost. But like, the SEC, this is not just us being homers. It is true. Look at the top 10 right now. It is flooded with us.

and the top 25 is flooded with people who are only one loss away from being in there. So it's not fucking fair. And an SEC team should be allowed one extra loss versus any other conference. Ranked choice voting. I agree. Yeah. Ranked choice vote. Well, we ain't got to get in all that.

Oh, I guess we should alert people. We will be talking about the midterms later in this episode. I don't know how that conversation is going to go. We're, of course, we're recording this on Monday. y'all are going to see this or hear this on Wednesday. So we're recording it before anything happens. And y'all are going to be listened to it after things have happened. So that's an interesting dynamic.

But yeah, we'll talk about later. Let's do a little sports radio and do some predictions over unders, you know what I mean? Okay. You want to do that now or you want to wait and do it? No, let's wait. I got to think about it. Yeah. Get on draft games.

But yeah, that's, I knew we was going to talk about the game at least a little bit, but that's pretty much where I'm at. Like, I was upset. disappointed, of course, but also, but not even a little bit surprised. And then, but by the end of the night, the way the other game shook out, I was already pretty much completely over it. And I was like, okay, well, I see a, I see a path for us still here. So, I mean, it still may not happen, but I think there's a fairly good chance that it do. There's also a fairly good chance. We'll get beat by fucking Missouri or soccer. Right. Right. Yeah. If they play y'all like they played us, buddy.

I don't know what to tell you. But, no, I mean, I, you know, I'm the same type of fan as you. Like, I feel like every Alabama fan always thinks they're going to win every game. And every, at least me and you, Georgia and Tennessee fans, we assume we're going to lose every game and then we're pleasantly surprised when it doesn't happen. So, like, I'm always that way. I'm like, I know we won the national championship, but so many times we didn't, so many times I was disappointed.

I'm like, Tennessee is for real this year. So I was not only surprised that we won, but aside from that, even if I thought we were going to win, I'm still surprised at how much we shut down your boy and, you know, and the offense. Like, I didn't see that coming because I'm looking at it going like, guys, we might be a better team than them, but they still put up Fitty on Alabama. I don't give a shit, you know, I don't give a damn what you're talking about, like what Alabama team it is. If it's one in my lifetime, that's a shit ton of points. And I was surprised, especially because of how I talked about Georgia played against Missouri and Georgia's played against some. teams that, you know, don't have the, the, the, the dick swing that Tennessee does.

And I was like, man, we're going to have to show up to play. But, but, but we did. So now I'm just looking like, I mean, it's George's to lose at this point. So, yeah. You give Amber the dick sling like, like, um, like actually sling it to her? Just like there was a helicopter. Well, it's less of a. So, yeah, it was a back and forth.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not circular. There was a viral video like fucking 12 years ago or something of these like probably 20 year old black kids or something. And it seemed like they were trying to do. But it was in widescreen. It seemed like they were trying to do a like treating it like a Dougie or soldier boy like a like a dance move situation. Yeah. And they were calling it the dick slang.

And they'd just be like there'd be like a beat. going and then when the beat would drop, they'd just scream, Dick slang. And they'd start like, they had like ball shorts on. Were they naked? No, okay, ball shorts. Yeah. They had ball shorts on, but no underwear, I don't think. So, you know, you could see like, you know, some meat moving. The Dick slang.

Yeah, right. Yeah. And they'd go, Dick slang and just shake their hips back and forth real hard. And I just, I was, me and Katie were, you know, together already. We weren't married back then, but I just started doing that to her. Oh, no, I lost you. Did for a long time. No, I'm still. here. Okay, cool. I lost you. I just didn't hear anything after, uh, one thing, but, but it'll look

fine on the other end. But now, I've done the dick sling to Amber, but I didn't know that it was like an actual hip thing that young black gentlemen have invented. I wouldn't call it hip. I don't think, again, I'm, dude, we're talking like 2009 or 2010 or something. That's hip to me. Yeah, right. But, yeah. And, but when, you know, I was talking about when you do it to your wife or whatever, you know, yeah, dick is out. Like, open the, the towel. or whatever, you know what I mean, or the robe. Yeah. And just shake it.

It's funny. Of course. I haven't done it a long time, though. Well, I'm going to do it tonight for sure. How, uh, speaking of Dix, just real quick, because you just reminded me this, I heard, I heard one of the, uh, I heard a would you rather earlier today, that, that was the quickest I've ever known which one I'd rather do. And I wanted to posit it to you to see if you would come to the same conclusion, if that's

okay. Um, would you rather. sit on a dick and eat a cake or sit on a cake and eat a dick. You tell me your answer and then I'll tell you why there's only one definitive answer. I think I'd rather sit on a dick and eat a cake. You would. You would. You would.

And you want to know why? If I have to choose between the two. That's what I'm saying. You have to choose between the two. I don't have to like move or work it or nothing. No, you're just sitting on it. You just sit on the dick. and eat a cake.

It takes me a second to get used to it, but then I think... Right. But after I get used to it, now I'm just eating a cake, which hits. That's what I'm saying. In this one, everybody's like having a butt plug in. Yeah. Eating a cake. Whatever.

I wouldn't... That's not my preferred methodology for cake eating, but like I could get over it and just enjoy the cake. Well, as I've said, as I've said often about having shit shoved in your butt, there's a lot of people who really like it. And they're not doing favors. You know what I mean? Like, so it stands to reason that it hits.

It could hit. Like, you don't know. But my, like, everybody was like, I don't know. This is a really tough one. I was like, how is it a tough one? There's only one scenario in which you're doing something that hits. Eating cake. Eating cake.

The other one, if you're sitting on a cake, that don't hit. Eating a dick. That don't hit. So, like, you've got to spread out your hit differentials here. And like, only, I mean, yeah. So, like, it sucks that you're going to have something on your butt, up your but if you're one of those like super macho dudes that like your buddies call you gay for stuff, they're going to call you gay no matter which one of them you do,

you may as well have a cake is all I'm saying. That was pretty much by exact rationale for it too because I was just like, I mean, at least then I'd get cake like just sitting on cake ain't doing nothing. And also I have to, you know, eat a dick. Eat a dick. That don't hit. None of that. Yeah, right.

I mean, I've fully completely. completely agree with yeah and also back to my original reasoning is you don't know you might in the process find out that something hits for you it could be a learning experience because like i said these people out there they're not doing jobs they love it it feels great so that's all i wanted to i just want to there is some people who is also doing jobs you know yeah i guess yeah i guess you're right i'm just saying like, but some of them, it's a, you know, if you love your job, you'd never work a day in your life situation. Yeah, I'm just, I'm just saying there are people who really, really like it, you know?

Oh, yeah. So much. Love it. Love it. Love it. It's wild. This is going to get. Disgusting?

Maybe. Why, ignorant. Maybe we've talked about this before. I can't remember. I think, I think maybe we did when we were at GNI or, no, I don't know. It was a different type of thing. like sounds like the place it's why you know obviously we're supreme allies everybody knows that but like that means allies with lettuce and tomato for the record supreme yeah got sour cream on us yeah actually

before i get into this it's a little bit early but why don't we take a break yeah let's take a break let's go ahead do that thing my ever say it's come when we rumble it's a catastrophe on anybody who's trying to hate come and blasting me hopping in this for a minute So what I was going to say is like gay people are already, you know, very much a minority, right? And then and then if I understand it correctly, right? Oh, I see what you're going. Within that already, you know, relatively small minority from the general population, they have like very distinct roles that they feel that they like separate themselves into. You know what I mean?

Yeah, right. but I think it gets even more specific and like triangular than that. Power bottoms. Power bottoms. It's like somebody like the wheelbarrow. Yeah. Another gay person.

But like you got to find the fucking outlet to your socket or whatever. Yeah. No. It's like it seems like it would be like that that would, you know, that ain't a simple thing. No, it's not. Like, no. And like, is there like a special wink, you know, like, like, like. Well, we talk.

Actually, we talked on a recent episode of Putting On Airs. Everybody check out our other podcast putting on airs. We found out on there about the, they had like colored bracelets and stuff. Yeah. That showed like what they were into and shit. So they do have like codes and rules and stuff, but it's just wild to me that they have that, that there's so many different like subgenres. No, it's crazy.

Of gayness. I don't know how else to say it. I do. It's hard enough finding a woman that likes to be choked. But like in that world. in that world like no for real like online dating is the greatest thing that ever like online sites and stuff are the greatest thing that ever happened specifically for gay people like it's awesome for it's awesome for everybody across the board because you can meet more people

but with gay people like you can have these like specific distinction like if you're like I'm I'm a top I'm looking for a bottom you can go to like America's next top bottom dot com or whatever and like people that are only bottoms they're like i'm a bottom looking for a top i'm a twink looking for the stink i'm a power bottom i'm you know what i mean like i'm sure that they have those like all we know about is grinder but right you're right it's tough out there um but you know at the same time dude people people seem to find each other because you know they do i've always thought off to a flame because like they dude there will be a motherfucker there whose sexual thing is like, you know, murdering a prostitute and then peeling

her skin off or something, right? And like, he'll find somebody that'll do that with him. Like, this shit happens all the time, dude. And every time it happens, I'm always like, how did these two, how did it ever come up? You know what I mean? It's like, did they do the, like, did they do the Nelly? Like, I'm just kidding. Like, Jason, unless you're going to do it.

Unless you going to do it. But with skinning a prostitute, do you know what I mean? Like, yeah. That's a fucking, that's a wild shot to shoot. Dude. You know what I mean? Because like it's over after that. We only hear about the ones that work out.

Those dudes that have their like little sidekick devil women's with them. They've gone through a lot. They've probably had four or five where they were like, listen, I'm just going to throw something out there. You don't like, you can throw it right back. And they pitch skinning prostitutes. And the other, and the girl went, oh, no, I'm not. into that. And so he just skinted her and threw her in a ditch and then found another one

until he found one that agreed to be his skin and prostitutes life partner. So it's like a kind of it's like a survivor. I was about all the women that the Joker had to murder before he found Harley Quinn. But like you know that there certainly was a lot of them. Yeah. But yeah, man. Like and did we talk about peeing on putting on airs? It came up just as one of the colors. Like yellow, yellow was peeing, but we didn't really elaborate on it. Because that's one, like, peeing and pooing, like, the balls it takes to be with someone and be comfortable enough with him to be like, hey, baby, listen, like you said, I'm going to throw this out there. Feel free, throw it right back. But if you could shit on my head, that would really hit for me.

I'd love that. And then the fucking miracle of love to have that person go, I've been waiting for you to ask me to shit on your head. since we first got together. And it exists. Or it either exists or there's a lot of really just down fucking people out there. Yeah, right. Yeah, bro, because that is, that ain't wild. Yeah, but imagine the nerves of that when it's like, so like, all right, so for, so I'll lay down.

I'll take like saran wrap, right? And I put it over my open mouth. Okay. And she's like, okay. And then what? And then, so stick with me here. All right. Then you squat over my open mouth and you poop right into the plastic poop

pit I've turned my mouth into. And then, you know, and like to not lose anybody along the way for that is wild. Dude. Yeah, but people find each other. It's beautiful. And meanwhile, I didn't get married until my late 20s. You know what I mean? Like it took me forever and I've got very basic needs.

I'm so, I'm a basic bitch. Like I think in the bedroom for sure. It's very pretty vanilla over here at the Crowder household. I don't even mean just in the bedroom. I just mean, now granted, I'm probably a lot to take in terms of like having to have a conversation with me, live with me, all those things. But like, I don't really require a lot out of you if you're going to be my lady. You know what I mean? And like, I don't need you to whip me.

I don't need any of it. Just get over hush for a minute. Right. I'm not saying, honestly, it's kind of the opposite. It's like, yeah. The only thing I really require from you is your frequent absence from my, you know. Like, I don't need you to do anything. I need you to stop doing everything.

Everything. Yeah. Every now and then for a little while. Just that's all I need. And no sandwiches, no nothing. Just, you know, leave me be for a while. Patrice. Patrice O'Neill had one of the greatest bits, and you might know it, I think you do,

where he talked about, he said a man wants to be left alone, but he doesn't want to be by himself. Exactly. We want you here, but we want you the fuck over there. Yeah, right. Like, and I, dude, I relate to that so much. Oh, me too. 100%. Like, I genuinely, and this is not.

me trying to be like, oh, look at their relationship. I genuinely get depressed when, like, the house is empty and Amber's not here. But that doesn't mean that when she's here, me and her are hanging out. Right. Not all. That don't hit. No, that don't hit. But I like for her to be in the other room so that every now and doing something.

Bold than something. Oh, hell yeah, buddy. My money. So I like for her to be in the other room so that ever, and I'm talking once every two hours, I can walk through and just go, hey, babe. Get something to go back and then we don't talk for the rest of the day. But like I need those fucking five minutes. I need her to be here.

Again, I want to be alone. I won't be left by myself, but I don't want to be alone. I've never related to a bit harder than that because she does think she's like, she'll be like she's going out of town this weekend. And she's always like, I'm like, oh, damn. And she's like, well, it hits for you when I'm not around. I'm like, no, it don't.

It hits for me when you shut the fuck up on the couch is what hits for me. So you hear it right now, I'm sure. Yeah. You had something that you wanted to talk about before we got into political, polar text, didn't you? Yeah. So it's a subject that I think is, you know, we both have thoughts on for sure,

but I don't think we've ever talked about it on the podcast. We've talked about nerdy shit before comic book movies and that type of stuff. I know we're both into it, but I don't think we've talked about like the phenomenon of nerd, rage basically. So like, I'll tell you the reason I thought about this. I recently watched the Lord of the Rings show on Amazon and here's my review of it. When I first started it, the first couple episodes, because it's like the most, it's like the most expensive TV show ever. It's the most expensive show ever, yeah. And so when I first watched it, the first couple episodes,

I was like, well, this is fucking incredible. They nailed this. Like there, but there was all this controversy before the show even came out because they had made one of the elves black and they had made one of the dwarves black and all the fucking nerds all the fucking nerds like according to the lore they are fair-skinned beings and this is not you know whatever like this is this is uh blasphemous what they're and i just have never cared less about anything and in fact like the the black elf i thought was the elfiest motherfucker an elf on that whole goddamn show. He was super elfie,

which is all that matters to me. But like, but, but by the end of the first season, it was like, you were like enough with the blacks already. No, no. It was just fine, basically. The show?

Yeah, I was really impressed with it initially, but like by the end of the first season, I just thought it was fine. When season two, if when season two comes out, I will keep watching it and hope that it like ratchets back up the hits, but I'm not going to go to bat for that show or nothing. But while I was watching it, reading like discussion about it online from fans and stuff,

I just started thinking about it. And you see this with Star Wars, you see this with all kinds of other shit, where it's like, I swear to God, people, people who professed to be major fans of a thing are not,

they don't like it. We'll go into the thing looking for, for every possible excuse to hate it. It's like they start from a default position of fuck this shit. And then they just watch it and they're like, this is fucking garbage. It's like they just don't even give it a chance to actually hit at all. And I don't get why nerds, be that type of nerd. And I know they're like, well, it's disrespectful to the lore and the canon of the original whatever and to the memory of Tolkien and his intention.

or whatever else. And it's like, you don't fucking know none of that. But also it's like just, I don't know. It's just people get way too up in arms about nerd shit. And then it's like they make their decision immediately. Oh, yeah. And they can't really be brought off of it no matter what. And I just think it's a wild, why you think them people be that way?

Well, yeah, they make their decision and then they can't waver because even though they are a nerd, they are still by definition, I guess, a man. so they're stubborn, you know, and it's insane to me because I was just on a Star Wars podcast actually called Across the Galaxy. It's a fantastic Star Wars podcast. You should check it out, subscribe, at least listen to my episode. And one of the reasons that they had me on is because they were doing a segment called Normies versus Nerds, which is like your normal, casual Star Wars fan. You're a Norman? Well, they consider me that for sure. And I'll get into it. I had to explain to them that much

like everything, there's a spectrum. Yeah, for sure. Because like I would think, like, it, like, what is Katie? Like, if you're a normie, what is Katie? Because Katie don't know shit about any of it, bro. Exactly. Real quick, we were watching Obi-Wan Kenobi. And, uh, they're, you know, they were talking about Anakin and stuff.

And Katie and Katie was talking to the boys or something like that. And she was like, she was like, well, maybe, you know, maybe one day they'll do like an origin story for Darth Vader. Like, you know, like. Like talking to Benton, she's like, you know, like one day maybe they'll do that, Benton, they'll do an origin story for Darth Vader and show him when he was younger and all this stuff, whatever. And I was like, are you fucking kidding?

Because, like, she sat on the couch while me and the boys watched the whole saga. She did what everybody wanted to do, which is forget the Phantom Menace. And she just didn't, she had no. It's why she was present for all of it. Yeah. Retained none of it and still barely knows who anybody is. But anyway, like, I'm saying, if you're a normie, what the fuck is she? Well, I don't think, I don't think that I am.

Now, I don't think that I am. And, like, I told them, I was like, it's really, it's the eye of the beholder. And I used the example of, like, I said, listen, when I go out to California, I'm the biggest rootinous, tootinous redneck you've ever seen in your life. When I'm at home, I'm a liberal queer. Yeah, right. I said, so me being on this podcast right now, compared to y'all, yes, I guess I'm a normie. But, like, then we kept talking and they were asking all these stuff. and I was like, well, in Thron, well, and I was like, look, you can't, Normies are people who've seen the original trilogy and watch it in passing.

I'm not saying that I'm a super nerd, but like Normies don't know about Thron. And I'm also not trying to, they love to gatekeep, realistically is what all these fucking nerds, their whole thing, they're like, they're like, you're sort of sounding like these people didn't hit for you. No, they do. No, no, no, no. I mean, I, no, no, I wasn't saying their gatekeeping. Because you're getting pre-animated. No, no, no. fucking problem he's a motherfucker

I try to tell him I said you don't fucking come and me like that I said all this on the show by the way I said all this

no what I meant was you I'm going back to your nerd rage now is that like I think those nerds and this could be

a deep-seated thing I think that nerds for so long they were in the shadows of society and they were castouts

and they were people that they all had this one thing they liked and society shunned them for being nerds and now

it's popular to be a nerd. And so they're like, no, we don't like it now that everybody's in our little club. So we have to make the password more fucking complicated. You know what I mean? Like we, no, no, no. Oh, you like this thing? Really? Well, what was that character's mom's name that they only mentioned in the appendix of the third book,

you dumb fuck, you know? So again, I'm not talking about these, but I was explaining to them. I was like, I am, all, every single one of my friends would consider me a Star Wars nerd, without question. It's not even close. And again, but I would never look at them and be like, well, no, I'm a Star Wars fan. You're not a Star Wars fan. That's stupid.

But to go back to what you were saying, I do feel like that is the one difference and why maybe they think I'm a normie or why me and you would be normies is because I feel like what being a superman means is, to your point, means that you come from a position of hating something. Like, I'm actually a fan of all these things. I love them. And so, because, like, I was talking about solo and one of them was like, oh, of course you like solo. And I'm like, I fucking like all of it. I'm a fan.

I'm a fan of the shit. Yeah, it's, uh, it's very weird. It's like, it, I sort of, I kind of feel the same way about it in a way as I do about, like, religion and shit, meaning like, I just don't really. it ain't, it ain't, it ain't that big of a thing to me in either direct, like, meaning like a lot, like, a lot of atheists and shit are like, militant as fuck, you know, whatever. And I'm just like, I'm like, I'm like, I don't care. You know, like my me ma'all goes to church services or whatever and I'm completely fine with that. Like it, like, it, I couldn't give a shit less about any of that, really. It's just not that big of a thing for me. And with a lot of these things, it's like, yeah, no, they hit. Something comes out. I'll watch it. I hope it hits for me. It's just like, I. I don't know. I just don't, like the level of vitriol that they bring to it, they act like it's just like, you know, insulted.

They set the expectations of their family, you know, right, with these creative decisions and stuff. And it's like, no, it's just, it's a fucking pew-pooh, pew, pew, pew, shooty space laser adventure movie. Like, for kids, really, at the end of the day, just fucking roll with it. But like, that don't take that to interpret. Don't interpret as me being like, all these movies and shows hit and none of it likes. Yeah, right. Plenty of them.

I'm like, well, that was fucking dumb as fuck. But like, I don't, it's not a huge state to me. Yeah, right. No, I'm not a hater. We're just not. We're just not. Well, the overlap between nerds and haterdom is pretty extensive. That band diagram's nearly a circle.

Yep, at 100%. And, I mean, me and you have talked a million times. about doing some sort of like show review or podcast or whatever and we all ultimately end up going back to like yeah but I don't want to criticize anything because like you know and when I say we're in the business I'm putting that in air quotes for all of you listening we are we are ostensibly in the business we're business adjacent we're business adjacent uh yeah we're in the business don't know it but we're in business business could take or leave and mostly has left us.

But it's what we aspire to do. And so because of that, like, I give everything a chance because I'm like, dude, I'm like, dude, I know how fucking hard it was to write a goddamn network multi-cam pilot. There's no telling what went into this fucking space drama that encompasses seven galaxies. So, like, I'm going to give it a shot. And if something don't hit for me, I go, well, I'm not going to watch that shit again. but that's about the extent of it. Well, yeah, that's the thing.

If you get into doing it at all at any level, like again, we've only ever, you know, we've sold things and written things and developed things and whatever else, but never got to fully like make something except for the Comedy Central sketches. But either way, like if you actually are involved in any of that process at all, you know, to any degree you come to realize or you should come to realize pretty quickly that like people, there's so many different people involved. everyone involved like not they're never

people are never like hey let's make something but don't hit you know exactly let's just fucking let's just shit in the mouths of all these stupid nerds out there by purposefully choosing to make something that they're going to hate and ain't going to hit for anybody wouldn't that be

hilarious we just burn all this money and film it like no one ever does that like there's so many people that make their living making these things and like they're all they're trying to hit but there's so many there's so many cooks in the kitchen and stuff and things can just get you know changed and altered and switched around and by so many different stakeholders and so many different paths along the way and

it's just it's like people have said before about like getting something on the air it's like really if you understand if you know how the process works behind the scenes with development and stuff it's a miracle that anything ever anything which i think i believe that I believe that to be true. And I think a similar thing is true. It's like, it's a miracle that anything ever fucking smashes. Like, the stars just have to align in so many different ways for something to actually hit real hard. It's wild that anything ever hits real hard.

Yeah, I don't think people. I just don't have the type of, yeah, I just have a different perspective on the whole thing, especially ever since I got even tangentially involved in the show business world. Yeah, I heard somebody. the other day in my friend group say something like, you know, it's just, there just hasn't really been like, you know, like a game, a new like Game of Thrones type show in a while. And I was like, yeah, it's insane that Game of Thrones was even the Game of Thrones type show that it was.

Like, like, do you understand how hard it is to have something that is a box office and critical success that is that culturally phenomenal? Like, it's fucking bananas. I mean, how many times, We've seen a movie that has a star studded cast directed by someone who has a wonderful resume and it stinks on ice. You know what I mean? You think like, oh, there's no way that can happen. If they just get a good writer and they get good actors, dude, even when you put one, one and one together, it don't always equal three. So like, you're right, Trey, we are lucky with what we get from Hollywood and we should just accept it.

Yeah, what was that? I'm trying to find it real quick. I think, I think this is it. Let me see if this is it. Yeah, right. Perfect example, what you're talking about. And I don't even know if I ever watched the whole thing, but there was a movie in 2013 called The Counselor.

Do you remember that movie at all? Don Cheadle. It had no, no. I mean, you can't be blamed for not remembering it. It didn't make much of an impact. And matter of fact, most everybody agreed that it sucked. It's got 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was a box office bomb.

Everybody's like, this shit is garbage. Listen to the pedigre. that this movie had. The script was written by Cormack McCarthy. Holy shit. Like, he wrote the script. It wasn't adapted from his book. No, he wrote the actual script.

And might have also been adapted from his book. I'm not 100% sure. I know that he wrote the script for sure. It was written by Cormac McCarthy. It was directed by Ridley Scott. Jesus. It stars Michael Faspender, Javier Bardam. Brad Pitt,

Penelope Cruz, Natalie Dormer, and Cameron Diaz. Dude, first off, three of the hottest women on the planet. Jesus Christ. And by all accounts, sucks and was awful and, you know, was a huge bomb and didn't hit for anybody.

And we watch that. It's perfect example. What you were just saying. I mean, I guess. It's one of those things, it's one of those things where it's like, I feel pretty confident that if we watched it, while we were watching it, we would be like, oh, right, this just don't hit. Don't hit.

Right. We were told that this didn't hit. And it turns out, this just don't hit. It probably would be like that. With the cast, though, that you just said, to me, I think just watching all those people for an hour and a half or two hours would be enough for me. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I put a lot of stock into the people.

who are doing the thing. Like, there's been a lot of movies that if it hadn't been, you know, let's say Matt Damon or George Clooney, then I would have thought the movie stunt, but because it had an actor in it that I really, really enjoy, I'm like, I'd watch this motherfucker do anything, you know, like, there's, frankly, there's a lot of people that feel that way about DeWain Johnson, apparently, like, half the world. And I'm not saying anything negative about him. I'm just saying, like, there are some people that bring a certain gino-se-cois that I'm just

like, well, I'm here for it, whatever. Like Steve Buscemi, I'll watch any, like, if Bushimi's in something, I'll give it a chance. Because I just like him. I could watch him talk for two. You don't know. So like, I feel like there's no way I won't at least be able to sit through it is what I'm saying. Well, I mean, and isn't that what you want to do with the movie? You go ahead and watch it.

Yeah, right. I sat the whole way through it. So, well, okay, how about this? I'll watch it and then I will give you the Caesar, thumb up or thumb down on whether I think you should watch it. I'll be, I'll be, you know, what's the word I'm looking for here? Truthful. Not crying, shoulder.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's just, but, but dude, again, thank you for bringing that up and making the point. You, like, you would think that it was impossible for that, for that not to hit. Yeah. For that not to, or at least be serviceable. And 30% on Rotten Tomatoes is not serviceable. And, like, you know with how those critics work, like, they're all like up their own ass.

Like, just the fact that it was written by Cormac McCarthy alone automatically sways them to probably want to rate it higher than they did anyways, you know? And granted, we know that the Rotten Tomatoes system is not, that means this movie is a 30. It means that 30% of people watching it found it good. Maybe we're, maybe those 30% of people just happen to have my sensibilities. Because like Joe Dirt, not a box office success, 8% on. Rotten Tomatoes, one of the greatest movies of all time. Yeah, comedies, a lot of comedies are like that, I feel like.

I think we've probably talked about that before, like, especially with critics, critic, because, like you already said, critics are so up their own ass and they're so fart smelly and everything that, like, they almost can't like a comedy. The only, the only exceptions are usually like, Tropic Thunder. Right, yeah, that, yes, because. Or movies that are funny. That movie just stands a, but. above.

It's unreal. Like, that movie stands alone, what I meant to say. Like, it's a fucking, that movie's an absolute fucking triumph. But,

but, uh, so yeah, you either had to be a masterpiece slash triumph as a comedy for the critics to fuck with you. Or, you know, also an example was,

and I thought this movie was great. The critics were right to have said it was good. But any movie is sort of like, like book smart. Like, did you ever see book smart? Right. No,

but you tell me it was good. It's really good. It's very good. It's humorous. But it's like it was directed by Olivia Wilde. It's got two teenage girl leads that are not traditional. It's comedy second. It's sort of like a, it's a little wokey.

You know what I mean? Right. It hits for me. But I'm saying it's like there's certain types of movies that I feel like critics are almost not allowed to dislike. Yeah, for sure. And so like another, an example. But Book Smart is great. It's really good.

Yes. Yes. In my opinion. That's one of them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like, but I'll give you another example of one, because again, book smart I really liked, but one that I was like, this is fucking garbage. And I know we're already talking, we were saying earlier, it's like, we don't hate on nothing.

Now, five minutes later, I'm like, let me tell you how much this don't hit. Yeah, I almost wish I hadn't framed it that way. But so a movie that didn't fit my taste, rather. There you go. Wasn't for you. No, it wasn't for me, was. I care a lot. Did you ever watch that?

I saw, hold on. Is that the one that was it? It was Netflix? Netflix? Yes. Okay. I did not see it, but I saw the trailer. And if a comedy trailer doesn't at least kind of engage me, then there is no fucking way that the movie is going to hit for me.

That movie is barely even a comedy, though, is the, I don't even think it was meant. But it's like, that's what I'm saying. It was a dark comedy. but it's not, but she, what is it? Oh my God. Gone girl. Who's the star of Gone Girl?

Amber. Fucking. Amber, who's in Gone Girl? Rosamund Pike. Oh, yeah. I love her. She's great. She's the star of this movie.

She plays somebody that takes advantage of old people, right? She's like, it's supposed to be one of those like, unlikable anti-hero type things where it's like, but my point is she's like, she's like a really, really strong female character. And part of the movie's whole thing was just like, it's all right for men to be dirt bags and, you know, as protagonist and they still hit for people.

We got a woman doing it now, that type of thing. But the movie is just not good. It doesn't make any sense. And it's like, but it had a really high, it used to at least have a really high rating on Rotten Tomatoes because I felt like it was a type of thing that critics being the way

critics are weren't going to criticize. Do you know what I mean? Like it was the type of thing they were like they were going to pretend like it hit for them when really it didn't or shouldn't have anyway because the movie wasn't logically consistent and just didn't really work in my opinion. Yeah. If you're going to have a, if you're going to make a comedy and have the critics like it, it has to be there needs to be a different category where something's not called a comedy. It's called a quirky or something. Like any Wes Anderson movie is a quirky, right? It is funny, but it's not like, comedy is like the movie's super bad, knocked up.

Those are comedies where it's absolute comedy first. We are not going for cinematography. We're going for the joke. And then you've got movies that are comedy second. And often those are just like, we wrote a really good script with interesting characters, and then we've added just enough jokes to consider this a comedy. A lot of Wes Anderson shit, Little Miss Sunshine, movies like these are like comedies.

I mean, shit, I would say the Coen Brothers movies and Quentin Tarantino's movies. Yep. Yep. You know, comedy's in there. Comedy's not the headliner, but they're all, but they are funny, though. Yeah, like, funny the whole way through. Like, dude, I mean, yeah, because hell, there's. I mean, shit, I would say now a lot of Marvel movies would fit on that same umbrella,

where it's like, the end game is hilarious. The comedy is not the thing people come for, but like, there's fucking jokes throughout the whole thing. I actually think that right there is why they don't ever even make just a standard comedy anymore because it's like, well, everything's got comedy in it now. Why make just a comedy when we can make a comedy with angels in it or fucking vampires or superheroes or whatever? That'll head harder. This actually brings us full circle back to the nerd rage thing because a lot of the things that I see the nerds raging about now is that Marvel, where they used to be, you know, big, awesome, visually captivating story first

and comedy peppered through. Now, with Taka Wakiti's the first Thor being so successful, they've tried to put comedy first before establishing characters, before moving plots. And like, I'm not, now first off,

I have enjoyed every Marvel movie I've seen since the, the, Thor, which, Ragnarok was the one, that was the ship. I've enjoyed every Marvel movie since then, but I can't deny that they, they aren't correct.

Like, they are correct. That is true. Right. Like the past several have been more, I mean, you know, they lost Thanos, so they're not building to, they're building to Kang, but they don't really exactly know what they're doing. It's, it's okay. Listen, they had a 10-year unprecedented run. You cannot expect people to keep up with that. But I will, like, to side with the nerds, yeah, you're, and to make your point, you're right.

Like, Marvel movies are the new comedies. Like Thor Love and Thunder was a straight up comedy. Like it was a comedy first superhero movie. Right. Well, let's take a break. Let's take a break. My episode is coming when we rumble. It's a catastrophe on anybody who trying to hate coming blasted me.

I'm hopping in the school. The midterms were tomorrow as we're recording this, as you all are listening to this, the midterms were yesterday. So you already know listeners, what type of hellscape we now live in. Me and Corey, as we're recording this, do not yet know. So what are you, I don't know, how you're feeling about it? You live there in Georgia. Yeah, one of the battlegrounds.

Absolutely. Hotly contested Georgia. If I'm going to make a prediction as to what happened yesterday, I am going to, and this is my prediction, obvious, for those of you that might hear this out of context or don't know anything about me randomly, this is not what I want to have happened. This is what I think will have happened. I think that Marjorie Taylor Green won. Yeah.

And I think that Senator Warnock and Herschel are in a runoff. That's what I think. That's what I think is going on. I think as we're talking, we know Marjorie Taylor Green has won. Twitter is an even worse place to be than it was the day before. And I think that the Herschel and Warnock are in a runoff and there is talk of election fraud, there's talk of mail-in ballots, there's all this horseshit. and it is not going to be fun for me to be walking around as if it was ever fun.

So that's what I think is going to happen. What's going on in Tennessee? I don't even know. Bill Lee, he don't hit. No, I don't know. Just a bunch of people that don't hit getting elected or reelected. Yeah, we're not. There's nothing interesting, really.

I saw Bill Lee, you know, is he running for Senator Congress there in Tennessee? But I don't know. You should show him my ignorance right now. Well, his name's what's going on. His name's Bill Lee, which I think is a good. I mean, Bill Lee is the governor. Well, he's running for governor then. He's just running to be reelected as governor.

Yeah. And he said something in his ad campaign that I didn't know that they were saying out loud. And maybe that shows my ignorance. But he goes, he was talking about like, I'm Bill Lee. I'm running for rerunning for governor of Tennessee. Jews, blacks, Mexicans, da, da, da, whatever. And then he goes, as a family man, I'm putting our. kids first. In Tennessee, we're leading the charge in parents being able to decide when and what

their kids learn. And I thought that was just a joke that we were saying about it. They're like that, but like, and I knew that they were, I knew that they were actively trying to do that. Like, I know that they're trying to quote unquote whitewash history and selectively try to not let people talk about CTE or CTE, critical race theory, CRT. But I didn't know that they were straight up coming out and going, we're going to let the parents decide what these fucking kids learn. Do you know who needs the less say, the least say, and what kids learn? They're goddamn parents. They don't know shit. They were learned by other dumb motherfuckers. Now, Tennessee's like been at the forefront of that, that particular type of, like,

all that anti-critical race theory and like all that school board shit where it's like, oh, yeah, can't have critical race theory. And also, do you know, they're turning into cats and Pizzing litter boxes and fucking Rogan. Vaccine mandates are, you know, the Holocaust and all, like, all that type of shit related to kids and education and stuff. Tennessee's like been at the absolute bleeding edge of that particular brand of dip shittery

since it started. And, yeah, continues to be so. But yeah, Billy's, you know, piece of shit, we're just going,

all the pieces of shit we got are going to remain, uh, right where they are. in the state of Tennessee, as far as I'm aware. I mean, I haven't even really kept up with it because I've not been given the impression at any point that there was... Anything was closed? Yeah, even a chance of anything hitting there. Like, no one's really, you know, they're not considered.

Tennessee ain't no battleground. Never really has been, but it used to be a little, I mean, I don't know. We've had, like, Democratic governors in my lifetime and shit, but not now. like we've we've gone off the deep end well i mean i want to say so is georgia but then like we're such a complex state and like i it's like i might say that but then also i would be mad at somebody else for saying that that wasn't from here because then i would be like well you know in 2020 we flipped blue and like we elected war knock and off so like are we not the same people you know what i mean what did what did the mouth breathers and ignorant mountain do drink

Mountain dude drinking dumb dumbs that you like to cause? Did they just sit that one out? And I guess their answer is like, yes, they did. They sat that one out. And now they're coming out and voting with vitriol. But like, I don't know. It's complicated because like, as far as the Walker Warnock thing goes, you know, that's statewide. And I do believe in Georgia as a state.

I try to believe in Georgia as a state. And that one also like, man, as much as Marjorie Taylor Green don't hit, Herschel also says the same things that she does, but kind of in a crazier way. You know what I mean? Dude, I don't know that anybody's like a higher on either the dumb or crazy scale in all of American politics than fucking Herschel Walker. I mean, dude, he's smush-brained. No, I know, but like, he'd be threatening to kill multiple women. Yeah, no.

He do. Like, he hold guns to everybody's. guns to his own head brags about being like a Russian roulette champion and shit and like I mean he why is as bad as Marjorie is he's like he's on a whole other level in terms of you know lunacy and incompetence and uh you know being a maniac okay well I'm glad you said that because I don't know how everybody else felt because Marjorie almost seems scarier because she seems like a person that's uh like she seems smarter you know like right she I agree with that.

I mean, Herschel Walker is like, he's just going to do whatever day tell him to do, you know, the people that, right, the people high up in the party or whatever, or their puppet masters, the fucking billionaires,

whoever the hell they is. Daryl, you know, Hersh Walker would just march to whatever beat they tell him to. So he's like very easily controllable or whatever. Whereas she's a little bit more of a wild card, I think, bad way.

Like, yeah, either way, both of them, if, by all manners of logic, neither of them should have a shot. But, but Georgia in itself, I'm still claiming that we're a purple state until we go red in the next election. I'm still considering us a purple state. So Georgia as a whole has a chance. So I'm, you want to think to yourself like, well, that means Warnock definitely has a chance against Herschel.

but Marjorie like dude she's going to run the fuck away she just ran the fuck away with it i guarantee and that's not a knock on Marcus that's not a knock on anybody it wouldn't surprise me if the gap was closer than it's been it definitely is going to be closer than it was when she first ran because she ran unopposed but like dude i think that like as far as it goes like uh in like the red scale of our district is like plus 22 like in it like if if if fucking this is normal Republican, we're turned up 22 from that. I don't know if that's how I'm supposed to interpret us being plus 22. But like, you know, she's got a head start before she even opens her goddamn mouth is what I'm saying. But what do you think about overall? Like the House and the Senate and the Democrats in general, like they're going to lose control of both, all of it? Well, you'll have to be a red wave. You'll have to fill me.

I mean, I think probably if because, just because like, it's like we know like this is not, this is not me being trying to act smart. This is just how it's always been. Like the politics is a pendulum, you know, like. Right. Like when, when there is a wave of some sort, that makes all the other people wake up because they go, oh shit. We were like, like when you're, when you're coming from behind, like people who come from behind vote like hell. And we know that these people exist because they are the, they, they say.

that they're the silent majority, but they're the fucking loud, dumbass. No one's less silent. No one's less silent. Yeah. Yeah, they're not minorities. I do know that. But still, I don't know, man. Like, I don't have a lot of faith in it because, like, you're doing skews.

Like, what are the other, like, battleground states? What's the, some of the, I know Federman and Dr. Oz. I have to, I'm worried about that. Georgia, Nevada. Wisconsin. There's like big races in Michigan and Florida and, you know, I mean, all over the place, Washington State. But it's like, so basically, as you were just saying, the pendulum thing, pretty much the general rule of thumb has been whatever party is in power, they get their ass whipped into midterms. Yeah.

It just, it just works that way. So everybody expected the Democrats, like, at the beginning, coming into this year, everybody's like, oh, the Democrats are going to get their ass whoopped. That's just how it works. Then Roe got overturned and a bunch of other shit happened. happened over the summer and gradually people started saying like, I don't know, actually, like the projections look pretty good. The Democrats might be able to keep. I don't remember.

I get them mixed up the projections for which one, but it was something like, at one point, they were like Democrats got an 80% chance of keeping the Senate and a 51% chance of keeping the house. That's still more of a coin flip, but it might happen. Then people started getting super worried about the gas prices and the economy and shit. At least that's how the narrative is. Our gas prices are below three. That's like 245 or something.

It never made any sense to begin with, but maybe it might just be that they don't have another better explanation for it, but that's the way the narrative has been presented. People got real worried about the economy, and then now, economic anxiety is what they call it. Yeah, the polls are shifting back in the Republicans favor. And now it's like we're kind of just right back to where we started, where I think now all the projections are, yeah, the Democrats are probably about to get their asses whipped, which is what we thought at the beginning of the year, but they flirted with fucking hope and optimism along the, away and uh but have landed in essentially the same place so i mean yeah i think it's going be bad and it's like but what sucks is and you referenced this earlier about runoffs and whatever else but like in any races where it doesn't go that way like in any races where the lunatic loses like what are they going to do after that like are they going to accept it are they going

to concede probably not what's their base going to do in the event of that happening like there's just a lot of shit that remains to be seen over the course of this week and I think a lot of it's going to be a bit of a bellwether for the future of our fucking democracy. Yeah.

No, I know, man. I mean, pretty wild, pretty wild times, which do not hit. No, it don't. And I don't know. Like I said, I really hope that there's people

listening to this right now on Wednesday laughing at how wrong we are, that would really hit for me. Yeah. I just don't think it's true. And I'm worried about, I'm worried about the Federman one, too. And I'll tell you why. Oh, yeah. It's because the things that they have against Federman or some of the things that they've been saying against him,

I agree with, I kind of agree with their stance. Like, fuck Dr. I's, but when they're, when this dude, you know, like, he's not in good health. Like, he's not. And, like, self-admit. by him, if the coin was flipped and he was the Republican, we would absolutely be saying, listen, guys, it's not about politics. He's literally unfit to leave. We would be saying that. I mean, that's already that exact, that exists and already is happening. It's Herschel Walker is that Hershal Walker's brain. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Brain ain't right. No, like, but so the same

people that, but, but I, Federman is not on Walker's level, dude. Like, the way I understand. No, he's just actually ill. Like, he, he, he's just actually in bad health. The way I have been led to understand it is that is shit that could continue to improve. He had a stroke and his conditions gradually improve it. Right. He's like, he will get better.

Yeah, right. No, no, no. I'm not, listen, I'm on team Federman. I know. Yeah. But I'm saying the same people, they're like, look at this. They can. I honestly think this guy's fit to.

serve and they're like you know really fit to serve hers walker like oh mush brain oh musbrain over here yeah shouldn't be running nothing but off tackle but they're all all for him and uh yeah i don't know things don't hit what you're gonna do no they don't i wrote a poem for election day really that's cool to hear it yeah this is this is my election day poem headed out on tuesday to punch my little box democracy is crazy crazy like a fox i hope i picked the winner I hope I ain't alone, and I hope that when they win, no one calls them on the phone. To tell him it was stolen, to tell them it was fake, I hope that all those people hit their nut sack with a rake. It's time we came together, put the United back in states, because

hanging in the balance is a lot of people's fates. Maybe not for me and maybe not for you, but think about the lesbians. Think about the Jews. Think about just anyone besides you for a change. you'll still get all you pretty guns and you can shoot them at the range. But what about your mama? What about your sister? What happens when she gets pregnant by some uninvited mister? Are you going to tell me you love them with your heart, yet cast a vote for someone who'll control their body parts? I don't think I buy it.

I don't think you do either. So if you can't vote for a Democrat, just don't vote for either. Yeah, that's good. What'd you do that for? Like Corey Wright's for you? I'm for my substack. Yeah. at part-time funnyman.com slash Corey Wrights for You.com, both of those things.

Good night and skew. I've also had a huge problem with fucking restaurants that are like, oh, you want an extra ranch, that's 25 cents. No, motherfucker. Give me the goddamn extra ranch.

Put that 25 cents, make the green beans cost a little bit more. We'll never fucking know. We'll never know. We'll never think of you as the people whose green beans cost 10 cents more. to make up for something, but you know what we fucking will remember you for? We will remember you as the fucking cuss that charged us 25 cents for an extra thing of fucking ranch when you gave us a tiny ramekin to begin with, all right? That's what we'll fucking remember, and we're not coming back to your fucking place.

Make your goddamn fried mushrooms 450 instead of 425. No one thinks a fucking word about it. Quit putting this goddamn tax on me. No, and I say, here's what you're missing. Now I've got to pay for your ranch. Yes, you do. I get green beans. Yes, you do.

And I don't want the extra ranch. No, you're paying for your ranch. No, no, no. What if I don't want ranch? Now I'm paying for your ranch. You won't know, though. You will never know. You will never know.

You will never know. I don't want to pay for your ranch. You'll never know, Trey. Fucking classic you asking for a handout of ranch. That's what you want. It's what I want.
