wellRED podcast - #320 - So Long, Tucker!

Episode Date: April 29, 2023

sorry for the delayed episode. as you know we have switched networks and their were some technical errors but it shouldn't happen again - corey   This week the boys race to the news of Tucker Carlson exiting his role at FOX News and more!

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

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

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

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

Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.

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

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

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

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

They're the liberal rednecks they like cornbread but sex they care way too much but don't give a fun.

They're the neighborhood next that makes some people upset But they got three big old dicks that you can suck What's going on, y'all? First off, up top, go to Trey Crowder.com to grab tickets. This weekend we're going to be in Little Rock, Arkansas, at the Ron Robinson Theater, and then refresh my memory, boys. When are we going to be in Asheville and Knoxville? I think you can find May 21st-ish.

May 20th and 24th. first. That's what it is. There you go. Yeah, and go to Treycrouter.com and grab those tickets. This will be, okay, Drew dead. At Trey, I don't know if I told you, but I'm bringing me wife and me baby. So it's going to be a real fun trip for me. This is definitely his first road trip. I did want to ask you like, well, I'm going to be with you.

So it will be a fun trip for me too. Can I ask what inspired that decision, by the way? You're not going to spend time in Little Rock, are you? You're just like going there doing the show and then you're going back, right? Yeah, I just want them to be with me. Like, I haven't, like, it, I thought, I thought when I was looking at these dates, I was like, oh, well, like, I'll be wanting to break from them by then, so this will be fine. And turns out that's just not the case.

Like, I'm like a real big worry ward. Like, I still go on my walks in the park, but like, I'm checking in with Amber every 20 minutes that she doesn't text me, because I'm like, what's going on? Everything fine? Is he breathing? You know what I mean? Shit like that. So I just, she had mentioned she would kind of like to get out of the house.

And I was like, hey, we'll see how this goes. But it's just making it a little more mentally healthy for me, having me family with me. So, you know, I could end up regretting it. I'm aware of that. But when was the first time that y'all took Bishop or Benton on like a road trip, like in the car? We took them to Katie's parents' house. very early on, which was like, you know, when we lived in Knoxville, Wayne County was like four plus hours away. So, I mean, that's pretty, pretty far. And it was a bit notmarish.

But, you know, not going to lie. Were they otherwise calm babies and it just blew up on the road? Bishop was always the calmest baby. Yeah, Benton, not so much. And that's the other thing. We had two. So, like, you know, it's really up in the air whether one of them would be. you know, pissed off or not. Yeah, no, it's just, it's like, my thing is, I just know that it's like, it's a pain in the ass, like, to, to do the whole thing. And when it's like, to me, it's like, just to drive down there and turn around and drive back, it's just easier just to not is. I hear you, but if you're going to grandma's house. Yeah, right. That's not an option. You got to bring the baby to grandma's house, you know, but like, or if you're taking like a law,

trip or something like that. And, you know, I get it. But, uh, I just wouldn't. So I'm making a mistake is what you're saying. I would not have full with it. I mean, I mean, you know, yeah, but maybe not. I mean, I could be wrong. I want you to meet him.

I want you to meet him. But I mean, just based on my experiences and shit. Yeah. I would say that's not super worth it. Uh, worth of trouble. Well, again, it's not like I talked her into it. She fucking. I said maybe I'll go with you.

And I just, knowing me, I'm just like, hey, the more I'm with y'all, the better for me. But like, but then also, don't you think that, like, as a comedian, part of me needs that experience, whether it go bad or not. I know why you're mad. It's because you're going to be there. Like, if I was by myself, you'd be like, I said, grow your idea, show. Do it up. Live with your family. No, you're, no, I wouldn't.

No, I wouldn't. If you'd, even if I wasn't going to be riding with me and you asked me what I thought about doing that, I would have told you. I would be like, yeah, I wouldn't fool with that for one night. It's the one night part that really is, because it's like seven hours each way for you guys, right? And you're turning around and coming back the next day. So you're talking about like a 32 hour window, 14 hours of which you're going to spend in the car with a newborn, right? Like kind of just because. Yeah, well, just because I don't want to leave him.

Right. I know. And that is sweet. That's sweet. But it's also like, you got, I mean, you're going to have to at some point. Yeah, I know, but not now. Okay. Drew, you've been playing basketball?

Be a heart attack. Yeah. Yeah. You've been playing ball. Yeah, like I came like straight here and got on my computer and then my computer kind of crashed. Yeah, man, I just came straight from playing ball. You look like there's such a thin line between you looking like a legit athlete that just

played ball right now, which you do. Also, it looks like you're about to do a character. Like, you're just, like, you're just handsome enough where I'm like, okay, well, no, he could have just been playing ball. Well, yeah, this is goofy, but see when I take it off, I got, like, the weirdest hat hair. I look like Wes Anderson, for sure. But, yeah, to your point, as far as, like, yeah, man, I'm not jockey or good-looking enough for that role, and I'm not silly enough for that role. So, thanks for that.

Well, that's not what I said at all. I said you were handsome. true, though. That's what I'm saying. You're too handsome to look goofy and too goofy. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm, I feel like I'm in the same boat, not for like the, I don't mean for like playing like a job. Losing away was a mistake on your part. You should have got fat, grew that hair out, dude.

But I'm not, but I'm not, but I'm not goofy enough to, but you grew the hair out, dude. Get a neck beard. Yeah, what I would have. Maybe, maybe. But that's what I'm saying. I mean, I'm definitely, I'm a tweener in that regard for sure. which don't hit. See, this goes back to the age-old conversation.

Cho knows where it's going. You know, this is like, right. You, you, on the other hand, Taylor made for one of those two columns. And yet, you know, run away from it. What do you mean? I play goofy all the fucking time. I know, but you try to,

but you want to be skinny and goofy is what we're saying. It's like, you know. I want to be healthy and goofy for the right. You try to do the second half of Chris Pratt's career before the first half of Chris Pratt's career. I know. I've thought about that a lot because like me and, you know, Robbie had always had this thing where he's like, dude, you got to be fat when you start. Like if you're fat when you start and then you lose weight, everyone will think you're handsome just because they're comparing you to the when you were fat when you start. But like, I just didn't actually ever get famous. And then I was like, I'm going to have a heart attack. So I, you know, I'm just trying my best. I've, you know, I've put on a little weight since the baby, but I'm slowly, I've drank. So. much and I need to quit. I just can't help it.

Yeah. Plus that city milk's real, real caloric. It's so calorie dense and delicious. Let me tell you about an experience I've had in the opposite direction just to show you how much of getting older sucks in every regard or whatever is that I want to talk you all about this anyway. I already told Drew this a couple weeks ago, but like I heard this smart person on a podcast say this is the amount.

this is the amount of no he's not Jordan Peterson but I haven't looked into him further but I fear he might be Peterson adjacent but I don't know because I heard I heard him on two bears you know I love Tom Seguer and Burke Crashman I heard they had this dude on there his name

Andrew Huberman I don't know anything about him I just know he's a smart dude and he's a neurologist or neuroscientist or neuro something another and as I again he might be a Jordan Peterson type motherfucker and if he is whatever my apologies I don't know all I know is he was talking about brain stuff. He wasn't talking about politics stuff. He's talking all about

brain stuff and body stuff. And he's a scientist or whatever. And I heard just one dude say one time. He was like, recent studies indicate that we need at least 180 minutes per week of both high intensity cardio and strength training, right, to see like legitimate results or whatever. Now, that's a lot. That's three hours of each per week, right? Right. So I started like doing that, making sure I was doing that. And what that means for me, that was like seven, I've been doing seven days a week for a long time, but I'd take it easy on certain days or whatever.

But I started doing like 45 minutes of hardcore cardio on the back. And then the next day would be an hour of strength training, full body, upper and lower. So squats, dead lifts, all that shit and upper body shit. And I was doing that. And then no rest, no nothing. just do one one day, do one the next day, right? After a week or so of that, my legs was, you know,

it's real sore and, yeah, and like, fatigued. And I was like, yeah, I know what this means. You just got to push through that, right? You got to push this. So I kept going. And I have spent the last week in, like, not agony, but fits of sleepless hell because of what. But not agony, just fits of sleepless a hell.

Yes, because of what my, because it's not pain. It's like extreme restless discomfort is what it is. But it's not painful, but my legs, the state my legs have been in, right? Because I, my legs were screaming at me, hey, take it easy, motherfucker. You're 37 or whatever. And I didn't listen. And I kept doing the same thing for like another week. And at the end of that week, my legs were like,

We're done. We're out. Yeah. And my legs have just been fucked for the past week, like where I can't, like laying in bed. They're like pins and they just, I can't explain how it feels. They feel wild. Yeah. And it's like, and it makes me unable to sleep, which has been driving me insane.

And, uh, but, but I stopped. That ended a couple of days ago because I finally, I backed off and I ain't done nothing but stretch. and, you know, do a little yoga or whatever for the past couple of days. And that seems to have taken care of it. But I guess all I'm saying is like, you know, you can't just do what I like. Even if you want to like go hard and even if you can like make yourself go hard and then you feel like I'm going hard. That's great. No, you do that too much.

Especially at your age. Don't hit. Don't hit too much or whatever. Yeah, your body will push back. And it's been a real pain in the ass. That's a little PSA for everybody. If you feel like your body's sending you signals, you should not call it a queer and keep going.

You should instead listen to it. I literally today was like stretching before playing basketball. On my back was like, hey, don't do this. Yeah. And my brain was like, fuck you, bitch. and my back was like not but for real and then even the top of my butt

was like like the glute was like no he ain't kidding no because I've been trying to and like I'm pulling extra weight and I'm gonna be honest

it's like inflamed right now like you know that feeling like where it feels like it's itchy but it's a painful itch where it's not it's like dull but it's deep and

yeah I don't like listening to my body personally no I never nobody Tell me what to do, let alone my body, you know. Yeah, I mean, when we were younger, you could just be hurt and do things, and it was fine. But now, like, dude, if you're like, if you're, if you're, if you are hurt, you should not do a thing.

Like, I can't tell you how many times, like, I'd been working out or doing whatever. And I kind of tweaked my shoulder a little bit. And I was like, okay, I don't need to do nothing. And then my buddies would be like, yo, you want to play golf today? And I'll be like, sure, do. That, you don't use your shoulder in that. and then I go sling my shoulder 120 times, 85 times on the fucking course,

and it gets worse. And I'm like, I don't get it, man. Like, I thought I'd just be able to just throw that pain out, you know, but it got worse. Play through it.

Yeah. Also, while you were talking, I did a little research. It appeared from Reddit that he tries to keep, Uberman tries to keep his politics real close to the best, but people think that he is physically conservative and socially liberal. That usually is what that means every time when someone's like that.

The other thing I'll say, and I don't know if this is true, but another thing, while I was listening to an interview with him, Drew, I told you this already, but he was like, Seguer was asking him his background, and he kept like, and he was like, and he was like, he was like, he was like, Huberman, right? Keeping that in mind to one letter off from Uber Man, which Drew just actually, like, Freudian slip called him, but his name's Huberman. And he's like, well, actually, my family's from Argentina, right? And I, like, perked up. And I was like, German-ass sounding name white dude from Argentina, huh? That's interesting. And then like, and then Sigurik keeps pokey. He's like, well, my dad's from Argentina.

And he's like, oh, I had your dad up with Argentina. And he's like, well, my granddad was a scientist who moved to Argentina, right? And I'm like, okay. All right. It's like, it's a number of red flags with skulls and swastik on. Alastika's on them. Yeah, right. But I don't know.

Maybe not. Maybe they were just regular white German people who moved to Argentina roughly 80 years ago for science races. I mean, it's possible. Yeah. He could have been running from the Nazis or something. Yeah. But Argentina is a hell of a place to pick if you're trying to, you know, you're running from

the Nazis after World War II. I think I've told a version of this before, but I worked at a steakhouse in Australia and it was a South African barbecue style at Steakhouse. And the owner and his wife had moved to Australia in like 1993, which is a year before that regime fell apart. And we were all like, well, so South Africa moved here in 93. And then like the more we worked there, it was like, yeah, this guy's awful. And then we researched him.

You know, this was like we didn't have phones back then. It's not like an automatic thing you do. We went to the library to research him on computer, almost for shits and giggles. And he had been arrested in Australia for breaking slavery laws. What? You worked for a guy that owned slaves?

Yeah, so he had had... No, he didn't even... Like, what he did was he would have his chefs come from South Africa to work there. He would make them all live like nine deep in a one bedroom and work 80 or 90 hours a week and threatened that if they didn't do it for like almost no people, pay, he would not give them. So your boss, unfortunately, has a lot of sway over you getting or keeping your work visa in Australia.

So, like, I guess the theory is like, well, this guy might come here and then just not do the job anymore. So he's like, basically like, I'll tell the Australian government that you quit if you don't listen to me. Well, one of them somehow got a girlfriend in spite of the fact that he was working 90 hours a week and she was a law student. And he had to like pay them. mall like 80 grand apiece now he didn't go to jail we still work for him this had happened

four years before that but Jesus it's just my point is yeah sometimes if quacks like a duck yeah you know well that do you remember that guy we met that uh we told the story because they know a long time ago with that blackjack dealer at that casino who was south african and who kept dropping all these clues including he had moved in 93 or whatever and all this stuff and it became ever more clear that he was absolutely an apartheid supporter or whatever whatever. But I was on a major heater, so I was like, let's just see how this plays out. You know, whatever. Like, you were wanting to get away from the table. We got to get away from this guy or whatever. I was like, hold on now.

Like, let's not be rash. I'm not too dry to get the money. Try to get a riot. Well, speaking of apartheid and Nazis and all that stuff, Tucker Carlson. Please throw a sponsor. Do what? Hey. You can get 88% off, H-H.

Yeah. No, Tucker Carlson, I don't know if he announced it or Fox announced it today that, well, today as we're recording it, not as y'all are listening to it. Him and Fox News have parted ways, which I'll be honest with you. I don't think I ever thought I would see that. What was y'all's shock level on that? Drew, go ahead. Man, I haven't been thought about that. I don't think that was the emotion I felt, but like if you ask me, does that surprise you?

I'd be like, yeah, for sure. he was, I think he was their flagship, maybe Hannity's number one. For sure. I think Tucker became number one. Yeah, for sure. So. Yeah, so I think that, you know, look, Fox News is bigger than everybody there, and they make that very clear, kind of like ESPN does. You know, so that part's not shocking.

When I first heard it, I was like, really? Then some more stuff came out. It has something to do with a lawsuit against Tucker and his. producer, they were both fired. That lawsuit must be wild. Either that, or they wanted to get rid of Tucker, and they finally got an excuse. And I could see that because

privately, Tucker has, like, ruffled feathers and sort of rock the boat. Not publicly, he's always supported Fox, but privately, he's like, talk shit on him, talk shit on how they won't let him talk shit on Trump. So, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I was a little surprised.

Yeah, me too. I mean, of course, I was surprised. I don't, Mark, keep saying like there's other there's got to be something going on we don't know which i'm sure is true so since we still haven't found out what that thing is yet if we ever find out i don't know like if it's related to some kind of what if it's like misbehavior like if it's some bill o're riley's shit or whatever yeah like it's got to be pretty you know pretty fucking was bill o're riley's sexual harassment was that his whole thing or just regular abuse or both i can't remember like i i was talking about this on my patreon earlier it was something like that it's

funny that's like, but you know, who could keep track? Yeah, well, no, that's, that is an interesting point, though, because Drew brought that up in the text thread earlier. And I was like, I was like, oh yeah, Bill O'Reilly totally did get fired. And because like, I came in hot being like, oh, dude, I mean, fuck Tucker, but like, independently, he's going to be fine. He's going to get like a huge Spotify deal. And Drew made the point of like, well, they fired Bill O'Reilly and you haven't really

heard of him since, except for every year he puts out like a killing Marilyn Monroe. you know, book or whatever the fuck. But I don't know, Tucker just feels like, it feels like to me at one point, him and Bill O'Reilly were like in the same boat, but then Tucker Carlson has somehow sort of surpassed that. And I think it was because, like, he was younger. He was more vibrant.

He had, like, to me, it was just like, we're going to see Tucker in this spot until we are old and gray, you know? Tucker also, he really did try to at least present a populist. I mean, he even sort of infamously made the argument that he would be fine with Bernie Sanders if Bernie didn't count out of like immigrants and, you know, the gays and trans people. And he was like, maybe I'd be okay with a socialist party if it was more for regular Americans. Maybe I would be okay with like a, and he literally said, a socialist party that was nationalist, which is what a Nazi is.

Hilarious. My point, though, is Tucker separated himself from business. generationally as far as boomers versus whoever the fuck was above boomers in gen x bill o'reilly like the greatest generation so bill o'rilly was like old boomers and greatest generation republican or at least that's who he now he was a piece of shit but that's who he like you know presented himself to we've got to do the right thing and god and country and tucker was very much like the working man the working man now obviously all of it was bullshit but Tucker did take some shots at big companies and stuff.

So I think that's why Tucker Star Rose personally is because he saw what Trump was turning was what was making Trump popular. And he dived in it a little bit, even though he hated Trump. Yeah, I don't think it's going to matter too much in the end either way for either entity. Like I think that Fox News would just slide somebody else in there and keep doing their thing, you know, and it won't. really matter. And I think as far as Carlson, it's like, it's totally up to him. Like, you were talking about a Spotify deal or whatever, like, whatever he wants in that realm he can do and he can be as big as he wants to be. If he wants to fuck off forever, he can do that too. And it's sort of up to him. But if, you know, I don't think it's going to change very much as, as all I'm saying,

like in terms of, of anything. I think people will follow him. Fox News will stay what it is. I think his influence will reduce. And the reason I think, and the reason I think, that is Bill O'Reilly's still relevant but not that relevant. Glenn Beck is still relevant, but not that relevant. Yeah, right. That blonde lady, whose name I can't name, Megan Kelly, still relevant, but not that relevant. Like, the machine that is Fox News is bigger.

Like, he'll still have sway if he goes to Spotify and does a podcast. We were joking he should do it with Don Lemon, who also got fired. Remember when Farah Fawcett died the same day as Michael Jackson? Yeah, the same thing. But that's got a hit for Don Lemon. right or you think his ego is pissed off about i don't know he probably wants a little of the liberal outrage right now that's a good fucking question yeah but we don't but that's like we're not nobody on the left is going to do that we like we don't generally just we don't do that for the

no right we're like yeah fucking cnn sucks too who gets a cultish r words uh yeah i will say that d l hugley had a tweet that hit this hit for me as a structured joke or point i have no idea what he's talking about. But he wrote, white guy got fired for a line, black man got fired for telling the truth. No clue what that's about. But I was like, all right, I'll put my fist in there, whatever deal. Yeah, yeah, because I'm not like,

I literally have no place to talk about Don Lemon because I only know who he is. Like, I don't know any of the reasons that he may have got fired. And I think I speak for all three of us when, I'm not the type of person who generally goes, oh, they're on my team, therefore they are infallible, and I will follow them to the end of the earth. You know what I mean? No, but he did once compliment my cowboy boots. So, you know, he's got to be. He's got to be a pretty all right guy, I'm just saying.

Well, that the head of the case been just fucking raping and, you know, just. What's what I was going to say? Terrorizing everybody. The head of the clan in my town. So he's not all by. cousin, but yeah. Yeah, well, that's two bad things, though.

Yeah, right. It hit for you to have your cousin be fucked? Yeah, dude. Somebody needs to. That's it. I believe in the favor by fucking your cousin. I get it. I believe in the commissetra.

That's called the Walbash Cannonball. I believe. Not certain. I'm not entirely sure. But, yeah, I mean, do. Dollywood ride? Is it? I know that.

I know it's a song and maybe a movie. Well, you know, you hear George Jones in the song, Who's going to fill their shoes? He goes, Who's going to play the Opry and the Wabash Cannonball? So I assume it was also a venue at one point or like a festival, you know? Isn't it? Isn't it a race?

What did you say, both of you? There's also a race. Cannonball runs a movie. Cannonball run is a movie, yes. Okay. But the Wabash Cannon, because a ball is an event. That's true. A Wabash, is it Canyon?

The Wabash Canyon Ball? No, it's Cannon Ball. It's Wabash Cannonball is a song by Boxcar Willie. I'm reading this. This isn't like, you know. Batman, New Calculus. It's about a race from New York all the way to. I don't know.

It's about driving across country, and that's why they turned it into a race, which then became a movie. That's how I think of it. The famous hobo had, I believe so. Yeah. My guess is, he was popping the charts. My guess is.

In between eating boot chili. Yeah. My guess is one of those people took the name from the other. And looking at the race of this box car, Willie, I would say he's the thief. I don't know how to interpret that. I don't know what kind of racist you're trying to be exactly. Because, like, you know, he's like...

Well, it's identity theft. It's appropriation. Okay, all right. It's appropriation. So who does that? Okay, got you. Yeah, gotcha. I'm just saying.

Of the British. Yeah. Yeah. He's Dutch. Cannonball Willie? Boxcar. Boxcar with fucking. All these willies associated with various

mechanisms of transportation. It was a big thing back in the I knew a Willie. His name was Willie Wilkinson. He's a flat earther now. He's a really nice guy. Yeah, some of them are, you know. It's only Willie I knew. I'm trying to think if I knew any Willys.

I don't think I knew any Willies. He was, I think, like half Hispanic. Really? He had moved back to town. Like his mama had was from our area, and he had moved back when he was like eight or so, as I recall. He was a real good dude. He still, he gets some fights with people on my stuff,

and then I defend him when they're mean to him. Like he comes on your shit, like, fighting with people who are praising you, and then you're like, hey, man, this is just, oh, Hispanic Willie, I'll leave him alone. He says, you know, like, okay, but have you seen this? And it's like a flat earth thing. And then people are like, get a load of this fucking idiot.

What a dumb ass. And then he's like, You don't know me and you shouldn't judge people. And I'm like, Willie's a good dude leaving the loan. Yeah. How, but I feel like the post itself is kind of all they need to know. You call him a dumbass. I mean, he went, he would go for.

Hey, your honor. They would go further than that, as I recall. So how much have you talked to Willie about the flat earth stuff? Because I, like, I've read stuff. Not at all. I said he's a nice guy. Oh, right. Okay, fair.

Because I've just always been curious. Like, you see the flatter stuff. stuff on Reddit and like, I've just never been able to figure out what the end game for these people is. We had the main guy or one of the main guys on end of the abisket during the pandemic. No shit. Yeah. And I could. Yeah, man, I think I told you all about this.

I thought him and DJ might go at it or whatever, you know. And I was just sitting back. But dude, it was so weird. Like, I felt guilty. Like the next episode we had to be like, we had to kind of. explain ourselves. It was like, listen, the reason we didn't argue with this, guys, it was so insane, it was so much more insane than I thought it was going to be.

Right. He started talking about a dome and projecting the moon and the sun. Yeah. And the reason they do it, I don't remember the reason they do it. I think they're, I think they keep, like, there's an ice ring around the world to keep falling off the edge. And I think they keep all the gold or oil. And it was like, it was so insane that we were just like, well, we thought we were

going to argue about like, you know, how come the nose of the plane don't have to dive down if you're flying over a globe. We thought we were going to argue about how come the sun does it. And he's like over here talking about, yeah, that's where all the leprecha hide the gold in Antarctica because this is what surrounds us. And we're like, what the fuck are you talking? Even DJ was like, DJ was like, buddy, huh? Well, all right, buddy.

When you out lunatic, DJ, you've really done some shit. We met the dude on a plane. Do you remember we were on a plane with some flat earthers and we were talking shit? and then a dude was sitting right by us because they were on the way to a flat earth convention. Yes. We were flying between gigs or something. We were in North Carolina or on our way,

and somebody that stewardess or somebody was like, there's a flat earth convention. And we were like, damn, a whole convention of them, huh? And then this dude was like, he had like that kind of look. He was like, yeah, we got a convention. Crazy. Yeah. And he was like, but he was like being nice.

You know, he was like polite. And I remember we were all like, we don't want to. Mormon eyes. Like, we were like, we don't want to talk to that guy. Yeah, he had Mormon eyes. And we told him we were comedians. Well, then we have him on the podcast. And he goes, and he goes, good to see you again, Drew.

And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about, dude? And then he reminded me of it. And I was like, oh, shit, we did meet you on a plane. And I almost said, and I didn't talk to you because you have crazy eye. Yeah. Bring sort of tying this flat earth thing to the Tucker Carlson thing at the top like the dudes who are running these flat earth conventions like the people who are profiting from like people signing up for like a weekend package at the fucking flat earth festival. Like what percentage of those dudes do you think actually believe in the flat earth or they were just like here's the easiest con in the world? I think it's instead of what percentage of dudes, it's how much they care or believe in it.

I think it's no different than Politicon. I think it's like, yeah, these dudes believe in flat earth, but I would say some of them kind of got interested in it and they're good at podcasting. And they don't really give a shit. They're just like, oh, that was an interesting debate. You know what I'm saying? Right.

Yeah, I guess. And in some are gung-ho. Yeah, it's funny you bring up Politicon because I was just thinking not long ago, like how much the political landscape has changed just since we did Politicon. Like the fact that fucking we were in the same green room with Rob Reiner and Roger Stone, like, I don't fit like that was early on when they were just like, oh, we'll hear both. And then like as the Roger Stones really showed who they were,

I don't think a lot of these people are having joint fucking festivals together anymore. You know what I mean? Yeah, I wonder what is going on at Politicon now. I don't fucking know, but like just. Looking back on it, it's insane that we were in the same room with Roger Stone, because I don't see a situation in which that would ever happen right now. No, not unless I get arrested for fraud, but I won't get caught. No.

Were you saying you're going to like, you and Roger Stone are going to be in on it together? Like, is he a lawyer? Ain't he in jail? I was making it like, where I'll be in the same person. I didn't know if that stuck. He got pardoned. Didn't he got, he got pardoned. I think, didn't he?

I think that's right, actually. Pretty sure he did. Like right before Trump left or whatever, he pardoned a bunch of people, one of whom was Roger Stone. Greatest Country. Left Joe Exotic off the list, though, what's the history grand. Famously. Felt very betrayed and backstab by that decision. Do you think he would have let him off if he were not queer?

Do you think that's why? Or do you think it's like he was famous for being a circus act, and I don't want to be associated with that anymore? It is. I mean, I think it's a critical. The second thing. I think. I think so too.

Because I think they'd love to have another gay. Yeah, you know what I mean? It's like Peter Thiel or whatever. Like just the fact that he's gay, it doesn't matter if he's a big Trump guy. It's like, see, we got another one. They won't. They won't. Yeah, they won't gay.

He's not a serious person. Right. They won't gay. And they want lunatic rednecks, but they can't have someone who is a gay lunatic redneck. Like, it's checking too many boxes at the same time. I was really surprised because, like, it just seemed like the most. most raven thing Trump could do would be to pardon that motherfucker. And there he still sits, I think, in jail.

When's he getting out? Never, dude. It was attempted murder on top of something else and they stacked them. I mean, I think he got like 40 years and your boy's like 60. Yeah, right. Attempted murder on top of like tiger crimes, right? The rest of them were tiger crimes. So many tiger crimes, dude.

Yeah. Well, that's more important to some people, I think. Let me look up his, well, yeah, this is because they hated Carol. Let me look up his release date. I'm sure it's, I don't, can you believe? Oh, shit, he can make it with science these days. Of course, he'd have to believe in it, but it's, you know, dude. He's 59.

Oh, yeah, hell, he'll be 72 when he gets out. Now, he's probably living better in prison. You got to do meth years. You know what I mean? Yeah, right. There's 72 in meth years. And, like, it's not like that stops in jail, you know. But he kept fucking all them young butts.

That probably keeps you, you know, young, I would say. And his own little Epstein Island. That's what the Republican thinks. Yeah, exactly. That's what Barry Gordy always said, but about, you know, young pussy instead. Yeah. So if the Barry Gordy doctrine holds true, but also for butts and Joe Exotic, probably can't about some of his meth doing is what I'm saying in terms of the effect

it would have all this. gourdy doctrine. Very gordy doctor. Yeah. We should make more money off this podcast.

No one's saying, no one's saying very gorty doctrine but applied to butts. No one's doing it. Yeah, there's a Reddit that I follow called brand new

sentence where people screenshot when they think something is the first time it was ever said. And I guarantee you that if someone scoured this podcast, they would find

a billion instances of a first ever sentence. Jeff, Blank used to have a joke about that, that I saw him almost get his ass whipped over. I know the one you're talking about. Here's a sentence you've never heard before. And then he said, we can't say that.

Obviously, you're not going to say the word, but you got to tell people what he said. And he said, is that N word still eating biscotti? And he said it with a soft day, not hard hard. A hip-hop accent. And while drunk. And he said it as. He was drunk, yeah. But he said it as if the person saying it was just very curious about his buddy.

And, man, it destroyed until one night, it almost destroyed him. Yeah, man, there was that, there was that time in comedy, and we all remember it, where, like, it was like, I don't know, it was like, from 2009 to, like, 2014, 15-ish, where, like, the goal of every comedian was strictly to try to get away with saying, something that you ought not be able to say. Like that was the pure fucking goal. Like it was... I know. I'm talking about myself. Every comedian's goal.

Every single one. You know what I mean. Like every dude, like most dudes at least. Like that was just, especially open micers. Like that was just the culture was like, you know, you had dudes, you know, that whole, what was that shit? Comedians talking or whatever on HBO would just come out with Louis and Chris Rock or whatever. It was Louis that did it.

It was definitely Louis. Being the guy and influencing everybody. 100%. In New York at the time, there was that. And then Amy Schumer, you know, so like 90% of the dudes were doing that. It was like a shittier, shittier, shittier version of Louis. And 90% of the women were doing a shittier version of Amy Schumer. Yeah.

And Blank got to ride out the good years. And then when it changed, he had to be told after the, that's changed. Yeah, I think that's a couple years after, uh, everybody stopped saying it while rapping. Bro, we just outed our friend. Like, we shouldn't have done that. Oh, that's right. I'm about to out all of us, too. So I'm about to even, I'm about to even the fucking scales a little bit because I've been thinking about trying to get into this some, but I don't know.

But just this whole thing, like, Mark was telling me about this white, this like liberal white, I think comic or comedy writer or some, some dude he met out. here who like swears up and down. And he's like around our age or Mark's age or somewhere in between. Swearers up and down. He's never once one time in his entire life said the N word, right, under any context. Where's he from? And I'm just like, I don't know where he's from, but I'm like, if you're fucking, if you're 33-ish or older, right, and you're from, I think either white trash or suburban or

anywhere. No, yeah, backgrounds. Like, if you tell me, you never said it. in any context before you are a goddamn liar because I know again did they do Chris Rock

used to have a bit about it I'm sure he would rescind this now but Chris Rock used to have a bit where he said he's like don't fuck up the drag he had a whole bit about when can white people say the N word and he actually had exceptions in it some of them were like sarcastic and joking yeah but he was like if a black if a black guy comes up and robs you

and then has diarrhea on you talk in the morning on Christmas Eve when you got to it's very specific and stomps you in the face and calls you a cracker, ass cracker, and runs away with your child's only Christmas toy, whatever. And only then can you say, somebody get that.

Stop rep. Yes. Which is hilarious. But anyway, I'm just saying, like, there was a turning point somewhere in the past a couple decades. I don't know exactly when it was. When it was white people were like,

oh, damn, all right, yeah, I guess we all found out, oh, okay, we can't do that either. Because it's like, you know, you weren't going to, when I'm 14 and I'm going hard to DMX who was a god. Yes, my God to me, my own personal John Lennon, as I've long attested, I wasn't going to bastardize his genius. Of course not. By fucking changing his art without his permission.

I'm just saying everybody did the same thing. I don't give a fuck what anybody says without thinking twice about it. And then at some point, we all wise it up and stopped. That's part of growth. It doesn't mean to acknowledge you, but these people acting like it's just never fucking happen. Like, go fuck yourself. Yes.

I don't think. Do you say in people who act like they never did it or people who acting like that didn't happen like we weren't all there for it? Well, before you go on, just so you know, Mark's story that he tells about this guy ends with this guy saying the N-word in front of him at a bar later than that. So just keep that in mind. Yeah, dude. And like, there's,

like, it doesn't make your 14, oh my God, that's a Raymond Carver story, dude. Like, it is stupid, though,

that some people won't just say, like, they think, like, oh, I can't even say that I did that at 14. Dude, that doesn't make you a bad fucking person.

Like, we all learn. It's about, I mean, to me, at least, it's about who you are in the,

present, not, you know, I mean, obviously, if you were a Nazi a year ago, you probably have a little bit more making up to do. But like, dude, we all did it. It, it wasn't fine, but we didn't fucking know that. You know what I mean? So like, just fucking, just act like that. Like, and I don't know, man, like, it would be if you came on, you Trey Crowder and we're trying to act like you ain't had done that, I would believe even more so that you had done it. Yeah. it's like and but there are some people like like dude dumbass paula dean in her court testimony didn't she say that she know her whole thing was she actually said like yeah i've said it before

you know and everybody was like of course she's a fucking other than mammal yeah like like i think she should be applauded for having the balls to go yes i've said it before you know what i mean i don't know about that i'm not but i but dude it's funny to think about like i haven't i'm not i'm not i'm not but i'm not but dude I haven't been super sure who you're arguing with the whole time. Like, you're like arguing with somebody in your head. And like that last point you made, I was like, yeah, you just lost the argument to the imaginary person right there.

I'm just saying I would have lost respect for her had she said, no, I've never said it. You know what I mean? I'm just saying like she, from a PR standpoint, she easily could have tried to act like she ain't, but she was like, you know what? Look at me. Duh, I said it. You know what I mean? She didn't say recently, although I'm sure it was recently.

But, you know, like, there's no problem in being like I wasn't as good of a person a while ago that I am now. I don't understand. Like it doesn't, that bullshit doesn't. It's like it not being okay, but us not knowing it. It's also like with my friends always, it was like, in just rapping, it was like, it was never, it was never, never, uh, derogatory. The hate, hateful, derogatory hard R papal version ever. And so that's all we used to like, that was as much as we needed. Do you know what I mean?

We're like, we're not doing it like that. Yeah, right. Which is better. It's cool. And then along the way, you find out like, no, that also is not okay. And then you're like, oh, all right. Well, okay. I'll stop doing that too.

My bad. But yeah. Don't hit, but my bad. Right. That was a hard day, man. I'm not going to lie. Because like, there's no better way. there's no better way

you know it's tough like you you would use it in the innocuous situations like inviting people to the movies you know what I mean

yeah y'all trying to go see a movie you know if they want a jolly rancher you know you guys I could out for a second and I figured out

what y'all are talking about but for like 15 seconds just now I was like what the fuck are they saying they used to say. Well, we're heading for me.

No, I got it now. I want you to think about what I thought y'all were saying you used to say, Tray. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Gee, golly. Oh, Lord. Well, I don't have any more on Tucker or any of that bullshit.

So what fun things do you all have to talk about or that happened to you this week? I mean, I had my specials doing well. Everybody watched that. Jeff Blink is calling me right now. Get the fuck out of here. Put him on. It's weird. Put him on.

Put them on. Not do it. I can edit it. It's fine. Okay. Hello? He's not going to do that. What are you doing?

Can you can hear me? Corey and Tray, can you hear Jeff? Yes, we can. He can't hear us. I'm on speaker headphones, so you can't hear them, Jeff. But the reason I answered, we're recording the podcast and we were literally just talking about you. Wait, what?

Like, are you confused or did you not catch all that? No, I caught it. but talking about me how? Not in a way. Not in a way that's great. Yeah, we did have a sex dream about you, buddy. Did it finally happen? Yeah, yeah, right all over your little ginger mustache.

I'm going to be honest, you may not like what we were talking about. We weren't talking shit. Well, we were talking about comedy changing, and then we were talking about how you used to have this great joke, but then somebody tried to fight you over it. one night? Do you remember the Biscotti joke? Yeah. And they didn't try to fight me.

They were just not happy about it. It was that crawed daddy. I remember it very vivid. That was my show. Because I got so drunk, I slept the whole way home while you drove. Yeah, I know. And I was very mad because I had to drive Andy's car. And all they had was Budweiser at that barn.

Well, or that's all they would give us for whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I remember it. I think it's good. Well, Trey and Corey and Corey can hear you.

I guess you are technically on the podcast right now. We can cut that out if you want. Or you can say hi to well read. Hey, guys. Hi, buddy. Congratulations on babies, y'all. Thank you. Oh, thank you, friend.

Corey says thank you. So, listen, I'm not cutting you off for any reason other than you not being able to hear them makes this like the dumbest call-in radio show of all time. So I'm going to have to, you know, end it is what I'm saying. Plug your shit. Plug your shit real quick. If anybody's so far. Oh, actually, I'm doing catacombs and comedians in Knoxville on the 26th.

I don't know if this will air before that because it's like three days away. That's three days away. That's the day this air. Okay, so we're doing that. Central Cinema in Knoxville. We're playing live D&D with the special comics playing live at D&D, and largely none of them have ever played D&D. And then it's very audience participation, so it should be fun.

And then I'm doing the Don't Tell Comedy show in Knoxville as well on May 20th. And obviously, the don't know of the movie. So we don't know to look at. That's the night of our show. But I'm doing that. So that should be. I don't head. All right, buddy.

Thank you for calling me, and I'm going to let you go. I cannot believe it's like you. Andy probably has some belief about this with her crystals about how we were synced up right there. I'll see you soon. Hey, hey, real quick. I don't think I've actually told you. Congratulations. Oh, baby.

Thank you. Thank you, buddy. Yeah, well, that. All right. Well, let you guys go. I love you guys. Bye. I don't think I've told you this except for 30 seconds ago.

I think he meant that first one for you or something. He said babies. He said congrats on the babies. I was like, he's not talking to me, right? Mine's the old. Still congrats, though. Like, that's true. To be more, you know, 11 years later.

What you did is hard. Anybody can have them. Right. Anybody can have them. You've kept him alive. Like, that's the real. Yeah. I should probably plug now that I'm thinking of it, that I have a show Wednesday.

Then Dave, this comes out in New Orleans. I'm opening for some very cool. bands. I think they're called Happy Talk and Something Cattle. I should look more into that. Loose cattle. Loose cattle. Hell yeah.

Yeah, baby. I do believe in that thing that Andy would tell you though. Like, I genuinely do believe that Jeff Blank and you did have some sort of, because it's not, does Jeff call you all the fucking time? Yeah, I mean, once a month, but not like once a way. Because, like, that happens to me. sometimes where like me and my wife will be having a conversation about somebody I ain't motherfucking talked to in years and in the middle of the conversation they'll start calling me and it's like there's that weird connection the funniest part is like what I was saying

that's so funny the thing that's like the story I was telling about him that's hilarious yeah dude it is funny the thing I put out the special a lot of the clips from it are doing pretty well on Instagram people don't know I put on a special about the Tennessee drag bill And as it's going viral, I'm getting a lot of comments from people who don't fuck with me and who don't fuck with me normally. And they're like, I don't know who you are. And that's been wild. I have so many comments of like, I live in Knoxville. I don't know who you are.

It's like, man, we're doing a great job with our PR. And they're not like, oh, I know Trey Crowder and you're not even that. They're like, who the fuck is this? Maybe I'll come. Where's it at? The Bejew. So that's great. But secondly, the people who really don't fuck with me for us.

man, there's so much genuine ignorance. And I don't know what, and I don't mean what you and I can do about it. I don't know what anyone could do about it. People are like saying that this bill is to prevent drag queens from dancing with their crotches in front of kids' faces. And they mean that like they mean the sky is blue. And it doesn't appear that they're the worst. They do, it does appear that they're the dumbest, but like, I'm getting in like long talks where I'm like walking people through it. They're like, go read the bill.

And then they like show me this part about prurion interests. And I'm like, that's cool. Here's what the rest of the bill says. And then like, it's that thing where you're invested in it. So it's hard for you to back off. But then they'll be like, oh, well, that just means like that like I'll point out, it also says that you can't be in public impersonating anyone of the opposite sex. I'd like to ask you how a police officer is going to apply that to, in this order, a drag queen walking down the street. Halloween.

Someone who they think is trans or someone doing a powder puff football game thing as a joke. It is technically illegal to do those things. And they're like, no, but it means. People are so dumb, but scared and angry. And like that calculus, that Venn diagram, dude, it is to me the scariest thing about America right now. It is how the evil, shitty, awful, genuinely want to hurt people, people will get away with it. By convincing ignorant, dumb people that, look, we've got to arrest these people. They're trying to fuck kids.

Also, have you ever seen evidence of one of these drag brunches where a drag queen actually touches a child in an inappropriate way? Because, like, if that actually was happening at an alarming rate, I would be on the side of, yeah, they don't need to do that. but that's not fucking happening. That's all really illegal by other law. Right, exactly. For both sex, whatever. And like, winning that argument isn't the point,

like, how do we, not me and you, what can be done about the fact that people are so convinced by what? The media, Foxx,

I don't even know what it is, that this bill is about protecting kids. I mean, I fucking have been saying for a long time, or I've recently believed it even more that like that specific type of ignorance like you literally can't do anything about it because the other side has done sort of the church trick where they any any like whenever these people do hear someone's saying facts and stuff they are told to believe that that's just

manipulation by George Soros and the fucking devil people right so like you can't do anything and I'm frankly in order to not be ignorant you have to choose to not be ignorant and the people don't want to do it. Like I did that for a long time in my life. We're like, there was a lot of shit that I didn't know. And I just thought, that's better if I don't know. I'd rather just live my life in this little bubble or whatever. You got to go out of your way to look at some things in the face and do these specific types of

motherfuckers are never going to do that. I think the only thing that you can hope to do is catch people who are just now kind of tune in to the world trying to figure their way out and be kind of. and compassionate and hopefully they'll, I don't fucking know, dude, but this pure type, they do not want to believe anything different because they have hate in their heart.

Maybe, but I'm talking about people who like, watch RuPaul's drag race or like, because they're saying things in these comments like, I like drag shows. It's not a place for kids. And I'm like, yeah, those are at bars. There's already laws that say kids can't go there. This law is about preventing drag queens from,

reading to children, and it's about trans people. It's so clearly targeted at just trans people or non-binary people. So, like, if you say to me that I have no problem with those people, I just don't want them putting their crotch in kids' faces, one would think we could be like, all right, well, that's not what's happening. So aren't you on my team now? And there's such a disconnect there. And I know that for some of them, it's because they don't want to admit that they're hateful,

but it sure feels like for some of them, they really think that this law is for protecting. They really believe it's for protecting kids. And that's, man, maybe I'm naive. That's like a little gut-ranging. No,

it is. It's a hundred-and- it's gut-wrenching, but I don't think it, I mean, not to just say that you are naive, but I don't find it surprising at all. I mean, they do that,

I feel like they do that with almost everything. Do you know what I mean? Like Corey was saying, like it's always, they just are, want to and our intent upon saying things a certain way. And as far as like, how do you get through that? Stereotypically speaking, the only way that any of that ever changes is if it actually affects them on a personal level.

You know what I mean? Like they have whatever. They got a son who turns into a drag queen and they get drugged to a fucking bar and see a show or something. And all of a sudden, everything's different. I mean, but it's like that can't happen to all of them. Well, as like, you know, microscopic amounts of change or whatever. But I'm just saying I genuinely believe as defeatist as it may be that for a lot of these people, it takes something like that to make them see it any other kind of way.

And nothing else works, which don't hit. I guess my ignorance and naivete, though, like, if you want to pinpoint it, it's like, you tell these people, they're locking up kids at the border. And also, most Mexicans who come here aren't criminals. That's like, like, if you look at the percentage, you know, illegal immigrants have way less criminals inside that group than other, blah, blah, blah. And they just, they don't care. Like, they do not care.

But I'm talking about I'm arguing with people that at least seem to me like, like fans of RuPaul. Like, I guess in other words, it's not important to him, but it does seem to affect them. Like, it does seem like they still think RuPaul can come to Tennessee. And the thing is, if this band went through legally, RuPaul could not. Not in public. No, and we talked about it last week with as basically by the letter of the law, men can't wear makeup. Like, right?

That was like part of it. in Texas, isn't it? Okay. Yeah, that is in Texas. But the only way it's still. Yeah, right. But like, we're all competing with each other for the same. Yeah. Dipshit trophies. But like, I mean, how did it? That's the new Wabash Cannonball right there. Hey, I mean, the only way that anybody's mind would be changed on that is if like they literally did arrest Travis Tritt at one of his concerts just for having fucking eyeliner on. They're like, because it because like you make all these, we make all these points. we point out, it's like, so what about, yeah, a performer, a theater, a play, whatever, you got to wear makeup or all this other shit.

Like, what about Halloween, all this stuff? But, like, but we all know that, like, or what about, like, the drag shows like we did for football in high school, like you mentioned. Right. Well, we all know that the truth is, like, the answer to that question is that that's all still going to be fine because none of that stuff is queer or queer's doing it. Like, it's literally, it's always going to, even if it's, by, the letter of the law illegal, it's always going to be fine as long as it's straight people doing it.

No one's ever going to care about any of that, ever, no matter what these laws say. And it'll just be the queer versions that are, because, you know, by their persecuted and prosecuted and everything. Well, they even say that. Like, you know, Bill Lee's like, that's different. It's like, well, the law doesn't say that it's different. But he is acknowledging that he's like, he's saying out loud, like, yeah, I'm not going after those people. I guess where my ignorance came in, Trey, is. it sure did seem like some of these people were a little bit more okay with queered them.

Like, there's no other way for me to, like, say it. Like, it sure seemed like we had, through pop culture, turn to tide, not on, like, crazy right-wing Christian people who show up with their guns and crosses, but just like regular-ass Americans. I'm telling you, there are regular-ass Americans in my comments being like, dude, what the fuck are you talking about? So, on that note, it's because, dude,

Kids, kids do shit to some people that's wild because before all this stuff. Yeah, they do it to the perverts. That's why we got rid of it. There was QAnon, right? Yeah. I know one lady personally, but I know there's been a bunch of other ones, but I met this lady who was like a sort of acquaintance of Katie's years ago.

I met her. I mean, after I'd already started hitting after I went viral and everything, I met this lady who was acquaintance of Katie's, and she was a huge fan of mine because she was like a liberal and shit. and but she's a mom and she's real, real hardcore about we got to protect these kids, right? So QAnon becomes a thing.

It's like, you know, they're hurting kids. There's like a global child sex trafficking ring. And I made a brief little internet sketch about this, about how like as a dad, I understand how somebody hears that and goes like, well,

that's a serious fucking problem. We should really, we should, people should care about that. But what I don't get is when you then go, go, tell me more. And they start talking about fucking adrenachrome and vampires and Bill

Gates and Tommy and all this shit. I don't know how you then don't go, okay, you're insane. I'm out. But some people didn't, like this lady. This lady's like she was this liberal woman who super loved her kids, cared about kids, finds out there's a prop. Kids are in danger.

She starts pealing, looking behind the curtain. Cuenots behind the curtain. Next thing you know, she's fully down the rabbit hole and gets sucked into it. And I think it's maybe a similar thing with some of the types of people you're talking about where it's like when it comes to kids and it's like if, you know, the implication that children are in danger can, however much bullshit it may be, can cloud their judgment or reasoning or something like that, you know, just makes people be different.

Yeah, I mean, pedophilia should always be taken very fucking serious, obviously. But like nowadays they try to act like pedophilia is like on the right. there's a brand new spike in it. There's more now than every end. Oh, this didn't used to happen back in the day, you know, blah, blah, blah. When it's like, first off, yeah, it did. There wasn't the next door app and there wasn't Facebook and shit. So you only heard about it if it happened to somebody close to you.

Secondly, like, dude, have you seen the dudes that get arrested for pedophilia these days? Like, half of them is 70. Do you think that they just, in the back 40 of their life was like, I think I'm going to spend it fucking kids? No, they was doing it in the 90s, too. You know what I mean? Like they were amateurs. They just started out.

Clearly veterans now. But like the part that pisses me off is when everyone tries, we look at pedophilia and we can't. There's not one goddamn thing in this country that we can just not blame on a fucking political party. You know what I mean? Like we all should give a shit about pedophilia. And like every liberal that I knows, it don't hit for them, the pedophile racket. You know what I'm saying? But like these fucking people want to act like the real pedophiles are the liberals out there in fucking drag and shit.

And it always comes down to pedophile, pedophile, pedophile shit. And it's like they're just people who like dressing up and singing Lady Gaga. That's it. Period. Hey, man. Can't do no better than that. Watch my special. We're almost a 69,000 and I want that.

Nice. Hell yeah. Go, Drew. Yeah, it's called Tennessee's a Drag. It is on a YouTube. Yeah, I said if it didn't get to 100 in a week, I was going to put it on trays. And if he's still up for that, I might do that. 70's close, though.

Yeah, I don't think you want to, I mean, now that you've gotten like some momentum on your own page with that one, because you don't want to take that one down either. Yeah, I would definitely wait a week. I think we've leveled off. But I'm hoping some people listen right now, haven't watched it, and they go, and then they cycle it back through. but anyway, it's just been, I don't know, man, I was surprised because I thought I was going to get a lot of like dumb. And I did. I did get a lot of dumb groomer this and you hate you, whatever.

But I also got like these people who seem thoughtful. It just really suck. It does suck. But come see us do comedy. And so go to traycrouter.com and check out the shows.
