Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:19 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.
Starting point is 00:00:36 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.
Starting point is 00:00:58 And it's called Rocket. money. Rocket money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want any more, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create custom budgets based on your past spending.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Rocket money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. And I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practice.
Starting point is 00:01:59 practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one I'd said it before, but I had a, I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies, you know, those weren't a little like the cue ball looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was that in response to? What was that reply I give for just when I did something stupid. Something fat and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for
Starting point is 00:02:39 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.

This episode is brought to you by the new book, Round Here and Over Yonder, written by
Starting point is 00:03:17 author's Trey Crowder and Corey Ryan Forrester. That's ya boy. The book is out now. I would like to thank everyone who did the pre-order. but for those of you who were like, you know what, I want to wait and actually go to a bookstore and pick this thing up. Well, you can do that right now, round here and over yonder, a front porch travel guide written by two progressive hillbillies, parenthetical. Yes, that's a thing. We love long titles, but we love making you laugh even more. This book is Chock-Fill.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Chocked-Fill. Chock-full of jokes. We chalk-filled it, too. It's got a bunch of jokes in it. It's really, really, really fun. We tried to take the stereotypes of certain regions. talk about what they are, talk about what they got right, talk about what the actual reality is. Of course, we did it with our own little region here in the South.
Starting point is 00:04:03 We went everywhere else in the United States, and for the first time in our lives, we went to the UK. It's Rednecks Abroad. The book is round here and over yonder. Not to brag on us, but I will. It is hilarious. Pick it up now wherever you get books. And by the way, we narrated the audio version, if that's how you want to digest it. But there is no wrong way.
Starting point is 00:04:24 round here and over yonder wherever you get you books do it at an indie bookstore here we are here we are drew i must say yeah off the top okay for those of you who only experiencing this through audio drew looks like you've never not looked like a redneck to me but you look like a very specific like you look like you just got back from vietnam yeah and it's really hitting for me i got my tony camel hat Shout out, TK. Our boy. Nice as cool as hottest guy in the world. But it does look like if you, it looks like if you zoom in, my hat's going to actually say you weren't there. And it's the wife Peter's doing a lot of the heavy lifting as it always does.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I have that same hat and it's, this is how much color matters. I have that same hat, but it's in white, which I love it. But I look like a frat boy golfer when I'm wearing it. And yeah, you look like somebody who like is going to look directly through me at. the food line. That's the you weren't their eyes. You kids ever seen Tanner, right? Yeah, so I was at the gym and then I had my clothes.
Starting point is 00:05:38 And long story short, this is the only clean shirt I could change into without going home and I didn't have time to. But I like cotton undershirts that aren't ribbed. So I never wear ribbed wife beaters. And I do feel like, okay, if I were skinnier or hotter or. just didn't look like a redneck. I think this is less of a redneck shirt. Agreed. You're like Adam,
Starting point is 00:06:02 you're Adam Devine, or you're Maroon 5 then. But on a redneck, the unripped, it just looks like you put a regular t-shirt on and the sleeves melted off. Yep. Like you had a receding shirt line.
Starting point is 00:06:17 It doesn't look like something you bought that way. That's for sure. No. Honestly, that's what you would say about me as like if there was a husband's store, Andy would be like, well, he wouldn't like this when we bought him. Yeah, also, too, a lot of it has to do with, you definitely got a haircut recently.
Starting point is 00:06:36 So, like, your facial hair and your haircut both looked like three months ago. It was all buzzed down and you've just been home. You know what I mean? You're letting it all hang out. Yeah, this is my first chance that I've had to let it out. Can I show you what I think you look a little bit like? Oh, yes. That's the voice of producer Aaron.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Yo, dude, he's got a better hairline than me. Michael Rappaport on Justified. I was best to say, Drew, aren't you just... Are you rewatching justified right now? It's not a rewatch for me. Andy and then I started it, and then life happened, and we never went back to it. So I don't even know what Rappaport's character is. Don't tell me anything about it.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I find him to be unbearable on social media, but I've always liked him in stuff. Okay. Well, I won't say anything except for... Imagine Michael Rappaport playing a redneck from... Florida. There you go. You got it. Thank God is from Florida, so I don't have to hear him attempt to do a Kentucky accent. Because that would be the funny.
Starting point is 00:07:35 It would be funny. It would be one of those things where a clip would be hilarious. Yeah. The show would be unwatchable. That's actually a great point. Like, if you ever have someone that's not from the South playing a Redneck character, you can get out of a lot of shit by just saying they're from Florida.
Starting point is 00:07:52 You know what I mean? Because, like, none of us know what that accent is, it could be anything. Yeah, and it's got, there's like, there's a few Florida accents, too. That's the other great thing about it. And if you live in Florida, you might be able to be like, why is this guy saying like he's from Lakeland, but they're saying he lives in the swamp. Right, as long as you don't mention a city, if you just say Florida, then like you can carte blanche.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I agree. I feel like if you're from Florida, you know. Like, the way he looks in that, he should sound like he's from the swamp. Although, I don't know. You know what, Aaron? Can you pull it back up, please? for those of you who are only listening, I guess I'm sorry because we did start out as an audio podcast,
Starting point is 00:08:33 but you should try every once in a while to view us on YouTube because really this is a show now. It's not even a podcast. This is a live show. By the way, Trey's not here, and I wasn't going to address it, but then I just realized I should because we're talking about it as a show. But you guys literally, and I may have told you all this on air,
Starting point is 00:08:53 but maybe not. I've listened back when I'm not here for one purpose and one purpose only I'll listen until they acknowledge that I'm not there
Starting point is 00:09:02 I've made it through entire shows before which that's on purpose which remind me no it's not which remind me no it isn't
Starting point is 00:09:15 no it is it's on purpose to see how long it takes people to figure it out you are a good liar Trey's not and there's been times where y'all have thought of it
Starting point is 00:09:23 at like minute 48, and he is not faking it. He's going, oh, shit, yeah. He's not good enough to do that if it was on purpose. Remind me when he gets here to read something to you guys. Speaking of the podcast, being watched, and speaking of me and wife beaters. Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Trey's going to be here soon, everybody. My baby's late. Oh, yeah, okay. We've got Rappaport. There's literally a fanboat behind him. By the way, everybody, I like how he refused. For producer Aaron,
Starting point is 00:10:03 I'm so glad you're here because we didn't have a picture element to this, but I'm so, so glad. And you've just opened up a can of worms because we are going to be shouting things at you from now on to throw on the screen. I like how he refused,
Starting point is 00:10:15 Rapaport or not, producer, Aaron. I like how he refused to change his Guido hair, which is Florida, but again it's it's south of Orlando Florida it's like boats and muscle
Starting point is 00:10:29 Florida right and then he's like he's got that 90s arm wristband the leather strap which we've talked about numerous times on here before how back in the day in the 2000s I wanted one of those but I hated everyone who'd ever worn one so I refused
Starting point is 00:10:43 to do it there's just something about how he looks so fucking Italian even dress he's he's uh he's uh Larry the uh don't worry about it guy Hey. Larry the I know a guy. Yeah, that's such a southern thing or that's such a jersey thing, the I know a guy.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah, I know. Down here, down here, if somebody needs help, we go, oh man, my buddy, and then we explain his things. But up there, they don't even explain. They're just like, yeah, I know a guy. Like if your sink fucks up, they'll go, don't worry about it. I know a guy. And you're like, oh, you know a plumber? Nah.
Starting point is 00:11:18 But I got a guy. Don't worry about it. I got a guy. Got a guy for that. Hey, before Trey gets here and we talk about all that, maybe you knew this, but I didn't, or at least until recently, did you know that, because you were talking about basketball earlier, did you know that John Tash wrote the NBA theme music? I did. Did you see, have you seen that clip of how he, like, did it? Oh, no, I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Dude, this was great. So, John Tash was at, I mean, in the clip, it looks like. Like, Corey is a John Tash fan. Like, the way that someone. Some people are Randy Newman fans, which Corey is also a Randy Newman fan. The way that some people are, like, there's these obscure kind of older artists, and they all make sense. Randy Newman, I'm like, okay, you're 15 and you love Randy Newman, but he writes show tunes. I get it.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Like, you found one song, and you're like, there's nothing like this. How do you become a John Tesh fan? I think it was a lot of my mom. Like, he was the guy that he was a guy that he just kind of owned in the background, because he's also had like a morning show. he had a morning show okay how did he get it why did he have a morning show why do we know anything about john tess is like healing back to onions like i didn't know any of this
Starting point is 00:12:30 like he was a great commercial songwriter i guess and he's just he's one of those like name one guy that's true of and we know their name oh i have no idea i'm saying what i think is true yeah barry manelow wrote commercial jingles and and that launched
Starting point is 00:12:47 both of them i don't know I'm just saying that John Tesh is a very vanilla women from the Midwest. The target demos for some of these morning shows are just like, like that's a rock star that they feel safe with. John Tesh was the, he was the co-host of Entertainment Tonight with Mary Hart. There you go.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yes, that was it. For decades, yeah. Back in the day during like the Seinfeld must-see TV Thursday, he was the guy on entertainment tonight. So he was popular along with his music. And now he does like a morning show that I catch pieces of from time to time. Is this a situation then where, someone is like
Starting point is 00:13:21 is a Ryan Seacrest type and they just so happen to be able to write music? I think so. Or did the music lead to this gig? No, the music led to the gig. So how, like what was his career?
Starting point is 00:13:34 Did he put out songs? Did he have hits? Yeah, he definitely had hits like on soft rock radio and stuff, you know? But I think that he's also doing jingles because like, so in this clip that I see, he's, it looks like he's in like Carnegie Hall or something.
Starting point is 00:13:48 He's wearing tails. Like, it's a very, very professional looking orchestra type thing. And he starts explaining to the audience that he had actually come up with the jingle for NBA tonight or whatever. And he was talking about how he came up. They wanted him to do it and he came up with it while he was on the road and he didn't have any of his instruments.
Starting point is 00:14:05 So he just called his voicemail and just hummed all the things that he thought it would be. And he played the he played the voicemail on stage. Like he put his microphone up to his actual old answering machine. And it literally goes, this is John Tesh calling for John Tesh. This is how I think this is how I think this song should go. And he just goes,
Starting point is 00:14:27 and then the audience goes crazy. And then the audience goes crazy. And he just all of a sudden, he looks back, he flips his fingers at the drummer. He starts going, do, do, do, do. John Tesh starts pretending like the bass kick is a basketball.
Starting point is 00:14:44 John Tesh is just up there, like, pretending like he's playing basketball. Then he hits the piano. and the whole crowd went fucking crazy. And that's how I found out that he did that. Well, goddamn. He was a news host first. I got to put some respect on John Tash's name.
Starting point is 00:15:04 So he was a news host who dabbled in music. Oh, I didn't know that. That's kind of wild. It is wild. To be, I think the most popular example is a Ryan Seacrest type. Sure, you can't go. I would say is equally as popular. Mark McGrath's a musician.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I know, but he also does the entertainment tonight stuff now. But that's my point. Mark McGrath had hits. And then they were like, hey, people recognize your fucking face, guy who looks like Diari went on a diet, you can have a job. And I'm trying to figure out with Tesh how he parlayed this I play, but da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dha.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Into a TV career, it sounds like it was the other way around. It sounds like a host who was working his way up in the host game, which is a career, just also dabbled in organ music. Yeah, and so much to the fact that I am, I'm kind of bugged out right now to find out that that was his secondary thing. Like, I totally thought it was John Tesh had a bunch of soft rock hits in the 80s and 90s, and then they were like, hey, you'd be good for television because you're blonde and you're handsome. I did too, but I always kind of wondered like, man, how do you do that?
Starting point is 00:16:17 How do he parlay me not knowing anything about his music? Because I knew about his music, but I know about his music now. Because now I know he does it. Now he's famous and he tours. But it's like, yeah, what's the beginning of this? What's the origin story of one John Tesh? And I think he just like formed at the Iowa State Fair
Starting point is 00:16:35 as a full adult hosting the Weather Channel. No, I feel you. And it's like two with like, okay, Dave Letterman's a different example because like, you know, he was a weatherman, then became a comedian. but you know that he probably always wanted to be a comedian, but he's like, I'm from Indiana, I'll be a weatherman, and then work on it. Then you think about dudes like, like Pat Sejack almost had the Tonight Show.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Like Pat Sejack almost had the Tonight Show. And with game show dudes, game, like I had the opportunity almost to host a game show. I got to write it and it was about to be a thing and then COVID happened. But I was already doing other forms of entertainment. But there's some dudes like Pat Sejack, you're like, did this guy just like decide Like who the fuck goes, I'm going to be a game show host? I'm glad there are them, but like... Usually actors, I think, right?
Starting point is 00:17:23 Or is it comics? Maybe, but you know, Sejac did stand up. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense. Like, to me that makes sense. It does now, but I found that out way later. Some people freak out when they found out Mike Roe was an actor, and I'm like, what did what do you think he had been doing? Right.
Starting point is 00:17:41 But that's to me what makes Tesh wild, and it's like, he's one of them dudes. And then also, that's a composer, dog. That's not a, like, you know, Bruce Willis has a rock band and it's terrible. That's a composer. Yeah, it's crazy. What do we found out? Do you now understand why John Tesh hits for me? The man contains multitudes.
Starting point is 00:18:04 No, I still don't get it. Like, this is, I can't let go of why does he hit because this is my point. I just don't understand how this happens, how the weatherman becomes the NBA songwriter and then sells out this is the part that bugs me out and then sells out theaters. With what? Are chicks really just out there like throw in their panties?
Starting point is 00:18:26 Moms. Moms and they're throwing their girdles, yes. Well, grandmas now. I mean, they were moms when we were in college. No, dude, I mean, I don't get it either. And like for the record like, dude, I have never once. Of course not. I'm saying how's he selling these tickets?
Starting point is 00:18:42 Yeah, and all of this John Tesh hits for Corey happened because, hey, John Tesh does hit for me. But it was just like, I had one day I remember we were on the road or something. I was listening to John Tesh this morning. And it was just because like there was something I listened to. Maybe it was serious that he had a little morning segment in.
Starting point is 00:18:59 And so it's not like, dude, I don't think I've ever intentionally like played a John Tesh song. I am a huge. There's so many people that I'm a huge fan of just because they were on when I was a kid. And now when I see them, it's like this big nostalgia thing. Like, dude,
Starting point is 00:19:14 I don't think that I ever was like, I can't wait to watch Oprah with my mom. I get that. But if Oprah had an album, it would be an embarrassment for her at this point in her career. Like, I'm not surprised people like John Tesh and they're comfortable with John Tesh and that he's a good host. I'm saying, and then he just started putting out records and people were like, yeah, we'll go see it. And then he just was good at it. That's like, that's admirable.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Well, it is admirable. And I do think he hits, but it is not so possible. of comedy. Trey Crowder. Hey, hey, everybody. Fancy. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I meant to hit the applause. That's on me. Yeah, but also, you got to understand when he rose to prominence, I think it was like the late 80s, early 90s, and if you were a charming
Starting point is 00:20:00 white man with any modicum of talent, you had a shot. I get how John Tesh ended up having a career as a host. I'm saying that it's wild that he's also this talented as a composer and that I don't get how he then sells out
Starting point is 00:20:14 concert halls. Did you know that John Tesh was known as a host before he was ever known as a musician. He didn't parlay musicianship into being a TV guy. No, I didn't know that. I thought it was the opposite. I thought it was because they used to do that. Johnny Cash had a variety show. Dina Shore. Johnny Cash, Mark McGrath.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Donna Shore. Oh, dude, he keeps pushing Mark McGrath. Hang on, so Dina Shore Golden Era. Which, by the way, I literally thought was a place stars hung out. Like I would hear that name. The Dina Shore. It makes sense.
Starting point is 00:20:47 But she's from fucking Winchester, Tennessee. You ever been to Winchester? Yeah, I had an ant from there. It's redneck as fuck food. It's right by the rural white trash. Jack Daniels, right? It's close to Manchester. It is.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Yeah, it's close to Manchester, but it's on the east side, I think, whereas Lynchburg's on the other side of it, Anna. You're talking about the interstate? I drive through Winchester to get to Nashville when I'm coming, or Oxville. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, that just blew my mind when I got it, because I went there once for the first time, literally as part of a documentary crew about pills, right?
Starting point is 00:21:17 Yeah, sure. And I'm sitting there and I see like Dinashore Boulevard, like downtown of Winchester. And I was like, that's weird. That's weird that Winchester latched on to Dinah Shores because I knew who Dinah Shore was. But then I googled it and she's from there. And I just like, I didn't know that ever happened back then. She had to be like a, was she like a Southern Bell, like a debutante, like from old money?
Starting point is 00:21:37 Because like people wasn't making it out of Winchester in the fucking 40s or whatever. We're not women especially. There were a lot of old. old money types in that area because are you familiar with bail buckle Tennessee? I've heard of it. And the fact that it has one of the oldest all boys private schools in the United States of America. Like I had a guy who came from like Brazilian old money who had citizenship in both countries who worked with me as an attorney in Miami.
Starting point is 00:22:02 And he was like, oh yeah, I went to high school in Tennessee. And he showed me. He was like, bail buckle. And I was like, I've never heard of this play. It's older than Swanee. They play against Swanee. Like in the same. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:22:13 It's that part of Tennessee that's more like Alabama in many ways. So I bet you're on some. Yeah. Well, anyway, I thought that was wild. But what? Mark McGrath, and I just, apparently there's a legendary Internet video that I wasn't aware of until very recently. And I don't know if y'all are aware of it. Bruce using all them slurs.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Like, he flips out on a young fan because that fan calls him sugar gay. Yeah. It's not even clever I know it's like a teenager who has like shit he wants him to sign by the way so that part's funny too he's like got like posters or something and he's like hey sugar gay right and McGrath like loses his fucking mind over it
Starting point is 00:22:59 so I don't know that's just that's what I think of when I think of Mark McGrath now I think sugar gay and him flipping the fuck out I think of how and this is we've done this before don't you talk about sugar like that I think about how Mark McGrath is... Sugar, not gay, sugar good. The artist of the 2000s.
Starting point is 00:23:17 And I'm not saying he's the best. I'm not saying it. But like, he is the most honest representation of that era. And some of him lyrics, dude, I fuck with some of them lyrics. Dude, every morning there's a halo on the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed. It was a perfect way to say that because as a kid, my mom was like, he don't know that that's a condom. So, like, we can still vibe out to this. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:42 When I found out that, A condom blew my mind. All across the world, statues crumbled for me. Great. What a fucking line, dude. Yeah, you're right. I'm not going to lie,
Starting point is 00:23:51 I was today years old when I realized that's a condom. Yeah. Dude, he contains, he contains multitudes, much like John Tesh. But also, more, like,
Starting point is 00:24:01 appropriately, yeah. Oh, fat boy drunk, rest in peace, it just died from a smash mouth. Yes. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Because also. That was his name, Fat Boy Drunk. Yeah, Fat Boy Slam. He had the Fat Boy Slam started out together. Yeah. And then he went to the Sky Fun. They were like, that's how Red Bull Viker got in. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Fat Boy Slim was like, listen, you can't be Fat Boy drunk if we're not going to be a crew anymore. And that's what he's. Imagine Bad Boy Slam like carrying a Red Bull and him carrying vodka. And they bump into each other and they mix. And that's how Red Bull Vodka's got him been. Fat Boy Slam and Fat Boy Drunk. That's so funny. Anyway
Starting point is 00:24:40 Is it like Steve or something right? Who gives a fuck? He's Bat Boy drunk forever. Steve. Rest and peace. Bat boy drunk. Thank you, Aaron. Steve Harwell.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Steve Harwell. FBD. RIPB. Appreciate it. Anyway, like. Aaron's been on fire today. Yeah. Yeah, he's crushing it.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Good. Glad to hear it. He, but you, like, Smash Mouth was like that, right? Like, one of those songs, one of their famous, songs it's like about global warming or whatever. Yeah, right. And like the nihilism of our culture not giving a fuck about it.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Right. Yeah. Which is funny because people just think of... Astro Lounge was a great album. He had a line beard. People don't respect it. Just like fucking Sugar Ray had the spiky Gaffieri thing going on. I was about to say, and you know what? Both of them, Sugar Ray and Fat Boy drunk are two separate types of version of
Starting point is 00:25:34 Guy Fietti. Both of them. That's funny. You're right. If you can buying, yeah, sugar-ro- Mark McGrath and him and fat boy drunk, you get Guy Fieri. We figured out who Q is on this show and we figured out Fat Boy drunk.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Dude, what if Guy Fierry was furious that he didn't get to be Fat Boy drunk? Like, that's my fucking name, dude. He's fat boy show, I guess, is what his thing is. But yeah, yeah. He's Fat Boy Kind. But also... Astro Lounge, which is what that album came off of,
Starting point is 00:26:04 I'm pretty sure, because I had it. That was a good album. Smash Mouth was a good band. Litt was a good man. They had All-Star, which was like, it seemed like they were going to be a one-hit wonder, but like the amount of money that they probably made doing that cover for the fucking Shrek movie. Oh, dude. Smash Mountain was relevant way longer than you'd think they would have been.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Because of that. Because of that. So first of, so. He didn't die poor. He, as far as Mark McGrath goes, he also has a legendary video of him losing it on people, but it's because they're throwing bread at the stage. Right. Fat boy drunk got bread thrown out of it.
Starting point is 00:26:38 They were throwing bread? Yeah, yeah. Because apparently the show was sponsored by like Wonderbread. It's like, smash mouth, brought you by Wonder Bread, you know, or something like that. And because Wonder Bread's like, well, we can't give out beer. We're not Wonder Beer, you know. So they gave out, just they gave people bread, right, at a concert. And people are like, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this bread.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I'm going to throw it at Fat Boy Drunk, right? And so they did, and he flipped the fuck out. And, like, y'all never saw that video either? That one was more recent. That was like three or four years ago. I've seen it, but I only saw the him flipping out part. The first bread tosser. He's flipping the fuck out while the band just keeps, like, looping the intro to All Star in the back.
Starting point is 00:27:25 You can just see him sitting there just like, fucking God damn. Now, here goes Steve again. Steve's mad about the bread. And Steve's up there, like, I'll rip your fucking heads off and shove it down your fucking throat. you fall the few out of there back there and just like, hey, you know. Yeah, right. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Yeah. Oh, life is absurd. What's that? What's that from? Life is absurd. No, it's life is unfair. What's that? I don't know, dude.
Starting point is 00:27:51 I like this 2000s rock thing. Well, this is from that same era. I like Liz. Yeah. Let's do that. Was it ever clear? Was it ever clear? Oh, I think it's maybe a TV show like a credit.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Corey, you don't know what I'm talking about either. It's like, it's like a Nickelodeon show. It ends. It, they do a song. and then it ends with life is unfair. I'm pretty sure. You have this same thing I do where you can hear the melody, but you can't hit it.
Starting point is 00:28:13 I got that thing too. It's not tone deaf, because tone deaf people can't even hear it. I hate that, man. I'm sorry. I know how you feel right now. Being tone deaf wouldn't hit. I don't think it's real.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Because wouldn't that mean you couldn't, you literally couldn't get the difference. It is the bisexualism of, of like, disability. It's pan. I'm pretty sure Val, our agent. I think he's tone deaf. I think people can't do tunes of music,
Starting point is 00:28:39 but if you were tone deaf literally, wouldn't that mean you couldn't hear the difference between like, uh, uh, like wouldn't you be like, well, if you took the word, the phrase tone deaf literally,
Starting point is 00:28:50 it would have to mean that, I guess, surely that's not true. What does it mean that? I don't know, they can't, damn, what does it mean?
Starting point is 00:28:59 Because if... Tone deaf is also a really good synonym for autism just because, like, you know, like you can't read the room. You know what I mean? like when you go that way with it? Right.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Well, I can't, and I think this is what you were just struggling with, hit the musical notes of a tone or a tune, excuse me, a tune I'm hearing in my head. But I can hear it. So I'm not tone deaf. I can hear the differences, but I can't do it myself. I don't have the voice to match. So it's not like my ear for music doesn't exist. It's my voice.
Starting point is 00:29:30 See what I'm saying? Yeah. But that's how I feel like people use it. They're like, oh, you can't sing. You're tone deaf. Well, what is perfect pitch? I know it's the exact that, but I'm saying, like, there's people that do that don't sing, right? Can't you have perfect pitch and not be a singer?
Starting point is 00:29:43 I don't know. I think so. I'm pretty sure it's a thing. It's like, I think it's like a thing you're born with. Some people are born with perfect pitch, but I think some of them, it goes like the other way. Like, they use it to identify. I was about to say, if you're not singing, though, how do you discover that you have it? I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:30:01 I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to try, I guess. We can move on. Yeah, go ahead. I'm going to look this up or try to. Well, let's wrap it up on John Tesh. I got to give it up for the man.
Starting point is 00:30:10 I don't know what he does or how he does it, but it's impressive. And specifically selling out theaters. That's the part where I'm like, how does he tour? How do you tour on? But now you get it. No, I get his career and that he has one and why, because he's famous. I generally don't understand someone selling out tours for a concert because they host a morning show and wrote the NBA theme song.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Corey, that's insane. But if you think about it, though, like, the morning show demographic, it is crazy, but like, that demographic. What do they think they're going to see when they get there? Why are they coming out? Because that's a safe concert for them to go to, like, I don't know, like, that. To hear what? The NBA theme show? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:30:55 You're telling me that, like, John Tish. He's got hits besides the things. I was about, I was about to say, you're telling me, John Tess don't have like an Ovoa. I thought I don't fuck with John Tish. I don't know because I don't fuck. with him. I just always thought he was one of those dudes. What are they? No, the whole reason I brought it up is because it blew my mind
Starting point is 00:31:12 that that guy did the NBA. Like, I didn't know he fucked with that. But I'm saying like, he was really big on like AM and soft rock stations. And that demographic, when you get a hold of them, like your middle America white women who say darn,
Starting point is 00:31:29 you know, like, I don't know. That's like, there's a lot of them. I didn't think they went out to shows of the guy who they heard on AM radio that morning. I thought they went out to shows of the band like Smashmouth, who was big when they were in high school and is now doing the county fair on the way down circuit. Yeah. Like I, like the idea that this man puts out music, people consume it and then go to theaters
Starting point is 00:31:51 to watch him is mind-blowing when you consider that that didn't work for Bruce Willis. It didn't work for Eddie Murphy. It didn't work for- He's still doing that? John Tesh is alive and touring and recording. I don't know. I know that he had a decades-long career. John Tesh has 44 albums. 44 albums.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Studio, not going live and compilations. That's crazy. You missed it. But the reason we're even talking about this is because I found out that he did the NBA theme song and I saw a clip of him in concert doing it to the crowd. And like, theater, he's wearing like fucking a tuxedo and shit. And he's just going, ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Well, that's great. There's, dude, there's whole worlds of people who,
Starting point is 00:32:34 don't, who you don't like understand their, that's right. No, dude. He did the nine minute version for me. Yeah. And I just went, well, goddamn. I don't know what else to say about it. I'm not mad.
Starting point is 00:32:48 But like, you know what I'm saying? Like there's, you know, niche things. Yeah. I'm not surprised. Someone that even I have heard of who I didn't fuck with it all, but I've heard of them. I'm not surprised that they have a niche. I had never heard of Russell Piers until.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I'm sorry, go ahead. I think 44 albums puts it. even more in my camp of what the fuck is going on with this guy. I agree. He's 44 albums. That's more than one a year. It has to be. Maybe it is one a year
Starting point is 00:33:14 at this point. I feel like he hasn't put one out in a while. But the last 20 or hardcore Christian. Hardcore Christian. There you go. All right, that's it. Never mind. All right. Carry on. We got it. That'll do it. We'll do it.
Starting point is 00:33:30 I was waiting on a thing. Oh, go ahead. It actually, perfect pitch, primarily refers to hearing, not singing. Makes sense. It's that it refers to a person's ability to identify any musical note by name after hearing it without reference to other notes. So you just hit one note by itself and they can tell you exactly what note it is every single time.
Starting point is 00:33:50 That's perfect pitch. Perfect pitch, also know more technically as absolute pitch, can also refer to the ability that some singers have to sing a given note on cue. But it's mostly the hearing. Yeah, like she's got perfect pitch. So what is tone, do we get a tone-deaf definition on the opposite of the spectrum? We're about to find out. Everything sounds the same to you?
Starting point is 00:34:10 But that, that to me is like, how can you even tell the difference? How can you do sarcasm? Right. You do question versus statement. Sometimes you go, Trey? And it's like, can they pick up that that's a question? Right. And Val can very much, he knows sarcasm, otherwise we wouldn't have as good of a relationship with him.
Starting point is 00:34:27 It says unable to perceive differences of musical pitch accurately. So I feel like they can't I don't even know what that means Well who gives a fuck I accept it Yeah I'm fine with that Yeah Who the fuck can do that?
Starting point is 00:34:40 John Mayer? But like they could still hear music They just can't go That's a day This says like often the term tone deaf Is used to describe a person With little musical talent But those with genuine
Starting point is 00:34:52 Tone deafness Are unable to distinguish Differences in pitch That's crazy That's got to be rare Yeah That's insane That's also gonna be
Starting point is 00:35:01 It's a horrible way to exist. A musia. A musia. A mousia. It's a congenital impairment that affects 4% of the population. That's what Italians called minorities for years. His fucking kid, you can't do nothing with him. He's got a musia. Find them to be a musia.
Starting point is 00:35:19 All right. Yeah, I don't know. Can it be no treatment? Nothing like that. I don't know. That is weird to think about. I got a raven thing that I've been, I waited on you to get here. Up top, Corey had a lot of fun talking about how I look like.
Starting point is 00:35:31 like I coach softball at a prison league. Yeah. And how he looks like he just got back from Vietnam. Yeah, that was mostly the bit. So I've been waiting to talk to you guys about this. Malcolm in the Middle, by the way. Malcolm in the Middle's theme song ended with Life is Unfair. That's right.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Life is Unfair. Written by John Tesh. Exactly. All right. Anyway, that was going to drive me crazy. But yeah, Malcolm in the Middle theme song. Go ahead. So I put a joke out.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Uh, it's, it's a bit, I've been waiting on this. I put a joke out a little while ago, and it's doing some numbers. And then someone says, who's clearly a fan, your arms look bigger than one would think by listening to the podcast. Nice. You sound gay. So then I said, okay, dude, hilarious. My co-hosts are absolutely going to want to hear you expound on this. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:36:27 I don't and I'm like this is so raven I cannot wait for whatever Corey that's what I that's how I thought we were going with this thank you I'm so glad you set this up so well I'm just waiting on this guy to just call me a nerd I don't know tray and Corey and Corey are always blabbering and you not as much and when you do it's calm and thought out and complex probably how I've been raised to imagine but I guess I just thought you'd have smaller arms than you actually do just because you sound smarter. I'm sorry, fam.
Starting point is 00:37:02 I can't wait to see you guys live and thanks for teaching me the word expound. I bet he thinks I'm a jacked meathead, dumbass. Like, he probably thinks that I'm ripped because of how stupid I am. Based on that, like, that, like, using that as the foundation for, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:19 like a hypothesis, if he believes that, yeah, it goes to follow that he would believe that Corey is shredded. What do you? What you think his username is? Obviously, you can't guess that. Do you think it's like normal or wild? And if it's wild, in what way do you think it's wild? Because this dude is, sexual. This dude is nothing but zigzags, right? Because I was like, okay, I'm a huge nerd to this dude. I'm going to make him explain for Corey and Tray's Entertainment. And then it turns out he roasts you guys.
Starting point is 00:37:46 This is the username. 420ing. So far good, right? And 1-8-7-ing. That's okay. That's a turn. That is Snoop Dog? For people who don't know, that's smoking weed and then murder. That's the police code for murder. Which is the case that they gave Snoop Dog. What do you think he's 187-ing? Squirrels?
Starting point is 00:38:08 Pussy. 666. The devil? Bro. That he's smoking weed and killing the devil. I wasn't, I did not see that coming. You guys know? Just smoking weed killing the devil?
Starting point is 00:38:19 That's the opposite. I thought that was going to go. Calling me a nerd, but also clearly the smartest man alive? You can't pin this guy down. Smoking weed and killing the devil. I'll go back. You think he means like, you know, the devil in his life?
Starting point is 00:38:36 Or, you know what I mean? Or just like the Bible devil? Like smoking weed and loving Jesus. Bible devil hit. Right. Smoking, weeding, loving Jesus. I'm sure it happens. Rasta.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Is that what Rasta is? It's Rasta, yeah. Okay. Yeah, you're right, I guess. Is that ignorance? I don't know. Is Rasta? Oh, also libertarianism.
Starting point is 00:38:54 True. And hating blacks. You got to put that part in there. Yeah, you're right. Right. But, like, loving Jesus is enough to make your thing about Jesus, but also weed. That's just, but it is wild. It's wild.
Starting point is 00:39:04 You've blown my mind. It's wilder than his wild comment. I'd like to apologize to that guy for talking too much on our podcast. Don't know. The hour-long talk session. I don't listen to podcasts. There are people running off at the mouth. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Well, you don't seem calm is what I think his main complaint was about. You just, you blabber. You're not calm. You're not thought out or complex. All right. Babel is a word for carrying on, too. I feel like when you, it's funny. I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:39:38 It's like, you say all that about Corey, and I'm like, yeah, nailed it, right? But I'm being lumped in with it. And I'm like, I don't think that's fair. Come on. He's mad. Corey, before you get too mad, please understand that I read all that. And then you started talking about the word babble, which was not said by anyone. Oh, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:39:55 I'm not mad at... No, no, no. I'm not mad at all. I was saying that, like, normally when I hear people say that, they usually say, oh, he babbles a lot, not blabber. And then... Is it me? No, he's saying not blabber.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Oh, my bad. He's saying babble instead of blabber. Normally, he used the word blabber. I normally hear people say, oh, he babbles about all this, but I feel like this guy, because he's talking about me and Trey, he was thinking blubber, and he comboned the two words. Comboned them. And blabber is what we do.
Starting point is 00:40:23 We're fat and we talk. What do? Comboned them. Combined them. Speaking of blubber, blabber, all that, earlier, Corey described himself as bubbly, except he said bubbly, which is fine. It made me realize, you described yourself as having a bubbly personality, but you didn't say bubbly, you said bubbly, which is fine.
Starting point is 00:40:46 I'm not necessarily anything wrong with that. It just made me realize that that's also bubbly, which is also, you know. That's right. Bubbly. is somebody who would do really well at the NFL Combong. Yeah, right. And he would have a wonderful endorsement with a drink company.
Starting point is 00:41:02 And a rib company. Yeah. Yeah, hell yeah. Dude, I could sell ribs. Yeah, no, we've all seen the picture. Well, the people haven't, but there's a picture. Have we ever showed the picture on here?
Starting point is 00:41:15 You'll have to give it to Aaron so he can show it next week. He's been crushing a picture. Trey can find this picture in less time than it would take you to consume a plate of ribs back then. so Tray can get it to Aaron and we can get it to people right now. You ever had ribs with coffee on it? Trey, can you email that real quick?
Starting point is 00:41:31 And then Aaron, can we pull it up that way? Okay, cool, yeah. While you're doing that, it does need to be seen. My baby's two days late. Yeah, every week I'm like, you know, what's going on? Because I keep thinking it's supposed to be here. Let me ask you a question. I don't know about babies.
Starting point is 00:41:47 You got two of them. Do you think the longer it's in there, the more chances it comes out fat? because that's all I want. It cooks. All I think about is it, you know, baking, bun in the oven. I mean, that is. It ain't going to come out black, though. You know what I'm trying?
Starting point is 00:42:00 No matter how long you live it in there, he's not going to. I mean, it's still going to be white. It won't be because of the time. Yeah, right. Yeah, that's true. It's probably only a couple, you know, deuce. But, like, yeah. All I want, people are, you want a boy, you want a girl?
Starting point is 00:42:15 Because we don't know. You want a boy? You want a girl. I want a fat baby. And Andy's like, well, that'll take a week or two. And I'm like, well, then I'll catch me later. in a week or two. I ain't got no use for a skinny fucking baby.
Starting point is 00:42:25 I want a fat one. I want a suckle on his cheeks, dude. I want it to look like the Michelin man. I believe you. Yeah, mine's getting fat, and it's great. Yeah. This is the best. I've seen it.
Starting point is 00:42:35 I obviously loved him when he was born. I didn't mean that when it sounded. He looks like your dad. I didn't mean it the way it sounded. It just looks like Dale looking at me. How about Corey? No, he does. He is fat.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Corey poked his baby and I with cheese. Cheese dip. Yeah. I did. How did I forget? Yeah. Yeah. He was trying to feed him cheese dip and film it with his phone.
Starting point is 00:42:57 He had cheese dip on his finger in front of his baby's head, and he's holding his phone like this. And he's like, here he just cheese dip. He just cheese dip, boy. And the baby's being a baby, so it's, you know, doing this shit, which what babies do. And he just went, blah, right on his eye, right on Corey's cheesy finger. And Corey starts from it. Now, like, freaking it.
Starting point is 00:43:15 He was like, oh, fuck it to the eye, to the tie. God, damn. It was tremendous. And the resignation. Well, what made Amher. in Amber's voice when she said, Corey. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:43:26 What's funny is because she was actually mad at all of us at the moment. Pull that pick up while he talks. I had, do what? Talk about you poking your baby and I with cheese it while this is on. Dude, I love it every time this picture comes up because it makes me feel so good about where I'm at now. By the way, I've somehow never noticed this, Corey. I guess because of how massive you look, I just couldn't look. at anything else?
Starting point is 00:43:53 Look at those fucking ribs. Those are Flintstone ribs, dude. That's a barbecue in Austin. They almost make you look small. Yeah, but like you said, he could sell ribs. Also, Corey, how old are you in this picture?
Starting point is 00:44:07 Lockhart. How old are you in this picture? Uh, I was, hold on. It was right after my dad had a heart attack. I was 24. 24 yeah yeah I mean you are baby face there
Starting point is 00:44:27 hold on it was 2009 I graduated in 2006 no bro I was 21 yeah that's closer to 22 yeah and what was your cholesterol then yeah right as fuck but again though I'm sincerely happy that we've done this because like I'm feeling fat now because I've gained like five to six pounds since we had the baby and I've had a hard time leveling it off. But like, dude, and I am fat now. But compared to that, holy fuck, that looks like a different person. You're not fat now, first of all. It'd be a hell of a thing for me to do a whole diatribe about how you have body issues after I just made him pull that
Starting point is 00:45:05 picture up. But you're not fat. I'm a, I'm a bulbous, bubbly man. Well, now that people that are watching, at least, have seen the picture, like, I've said before, I've talked about how when I first met Corey, like, you just said, you're like, he looks like a fucking truck driver. And I've said before, like, when I first met Corey, he was a year or so older than that, not much, but his hair, his hair line was progressing backward, you know. He didn't wear his hat as much. And, and he still wore a hat a lot, but when he didn't, he had some hair, but it was going back. And he was like that, basically, that era of Corey. And like I said, like, I'm not, this is not a bit. I'm not joking. I look younger now. I'm not
Starting point is 00:45:40 joking at all. I genuinely thought when I met him, I was like, this is a 40-year-old road dog comic who's been divorced twice, in and out of rehab, whatever else, like, you know, drives a truck when the gigs aren't there or whatever, like that is this. When I found out he was actually two or three years younger me and was like 23 at the time, 22 or 23, nothing has ever blown my mind more than that. All that. But you know, yeah, but you're, you know, you're fine now. You were shot out, buddy.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Buddy, you were shot out. And you were kind of bitter. Like, I don't know what wasn't working out for you, but like it matched. You know what I mean? You were kind of a dick to me, maybe not to Trey. And I was like, yeah, this 33-year-old comic hates me. No, listen, and I apologize for that. Genuinely, I feel bad because, I mean, all of it.
Starting point is 00:46:29 No, I do feel bad. Like, it made sense. Like, I was like, yeah, it's lots of. If you, looking at that picture, I don't just see, I go immediately to my eyes. And I go, and I can remember immediately how I felt back then, which was, I was overweight. I was abusing drugs and alcohol. And yes,
Starting point is 00:46:50 my dreams weren't coming true at the speed that I thought they were. And also, I didn't realize how much actual clinical depression and anxiety and all that shit that I had, that all the drinking and stuff was making it worse. So, like, I was a miserable fucking person. So, like,
Starting point is 00:47:06 I believe you when you say that. And I'd say that a lot of people, if they met me at that time, they're like, they come away thinking that I'm different than the actual person that I am today. You know what I mean? Who's gay now, 420ing the devil?
Starting point is 00:47:22 I know, I'm just saying. Was he talking about Michael Rap before earlier? We put this picture up, yeah. Because of justified or something? Yeah. But Corey, I want to, the only reason I brought it up is I want the people watching on YouTube to think, this guy holding the ribs, he put creamy cheese in his baby thigh. You don't say.
Starting point is 00:47:46 So, yeah, speaking of people watching on YouTube, Corey got real heavy and sincere there for a second about the issues he was facing in his early 20s, and someone on YouTube was going to notice that I was over here trying very hard not to laugh out loud, not because of anything he was saying, because I thought about making a joke about how it had to, I was thinking, like, and you had to be bummed out
Starting point is 00:48:06 because, you know, like fat boy drunk was already taken, so what were you going to do, right? Like, I was thinking about saying that, but then I was like, No, I can't. And then I started, I was like cracking myself up internally. But I knew I couldn't just let it go because if someone saw it, it would look like I was just like stifling hard laughter at Corey being like, yeah, I wanted to kill myself. I was at the end of my rope, you know, and I'm just over like, well, I'm mad that you didn't.
Starting point is 00:48:31 How bad they could make me and you look in terms of this boy? You mean like taking clips? Yes, which is so funny because he's a psychopath. He used to play literally. on loop a song called Drew Don't Hit to open the podcast. Like he would open with it. But like, but
Starting point is 00:48:51 someone will put a clip together eventually of me. Yeah. Just like when he kills himself is when they'll do it. They'll be like, this is why. I can't kill myself now. I know. I know. I've already made peace with it and it sucks. I know. Fucking kid, dude. Dude, I got so mad at Andy last night because I thought about her dying.
Starting point is 00:49:09 And she's like, what is wrong with you? And I go, I was high. I was like, I just thought about you dime and how if you do, I can't do what my plan was when I thought you was going to die. We're about to get real dark and heavy again. I thought Andy was going to kill herself for like about six months in my month. I was like, this is something I've got to like process. She may do that. And I had a plan.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Like I had a fucking bottom of the barrel gutter horror plan. And now that plan's going to fucking shit, dude. Oh, right. Coast Rica. Dude, I think the same thing about Amber, you know. Yeah, that's awesome, Trey. Do they give heroes pills? right well if you're talking about like horrors and stuff a lot of you know
Starting point is 00:49:46 i think it would play in certain circles is what i'm saying dude like i just remember i just remember i'm trying to make you feel better i know it's making it making me sound worse yeah right you did bring it up but like i could remember when i worked at old charlie's dude anytime a guy it could happen a few times if a like somewhat younger dude came in with like a by himself with a small baby or like a toddler or whatever especially if it was a girl seemed like the girls the girls that I worked with through a service they were just like
Starting point is 00:50:18 I mean they'd just melt bro I see what's happening they'd be going and telling each other like you gotta fucking you know they'd like they'd lose it you're misunderstanding me a little bit because I said the phrase gutter whore because I know myself
Starting point is 00:50:29 and I know what I'd be doing but what I'm lamenting is not I can get gutter horrors right now and throw my whole life away yeah right giving up is what has been taken from me oh okay like I can never give up
Starting point is 00:50:40 and the whole you can't The fantasy of giving up was apparently something I liked. Like, it was apparently something I needed. The fantasy of quitting was really appealing to me, and it is fucking gone now. An option. Like, I'm glad that I've never killed myself, but there were sometimes where the thought of killing myself actually brought me out of a depression. Right. Because I was like, I was like, well, there is, I could do that, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:51:08 but like I'm the same way with with Amber right now like I'm inventing situations to get mad at her because of because like we used to talk we used to joke all the time about like oh Amber will probably die on a jet ski and like because that's the type of person she is and now I'm thinking about her doing that and I'm like you because I've taken suicide off the table for me and I was like baby you've got to take dying on a jet ski off the table for you you have to do that it's a beer pong table like her brain hasn't changed and I'm like if you fucking die right now. Like, I'm going to crush it. And I used to, like, before we had the kid, I had this whole plan. I was like, well, I would be devastated if Amber died on a jet ski, sure. However, the rest of my life would go pretty well once I grieved. And now that's not the case. So, you know, it would still go well, but one or two particular avenues have been removed from you. Yes. Yes. And for me, I don't fantasize about suicide. Jesus, we're fucking in it now. I don't fantasize about suicide near as much as I fantasize about quitting. Just absolutely giving the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Just being a dirtball until you either snap out of it or die. No, you're just in a bath, drugs, drinking whiskey. I'm about say drugs and like gutters and shit? You said gutter whore, didn't you? Like, but I'm saying like. That was a very visceral phrase I used and it has shaped this conversation and I do regret it. But like, you're going to be on somebody's couch. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:52:30 I mean, no, I own a place. Dude, it would be 10. Yeah. I'd end up there. A little one bedroom, big ass lawn, mowing it drunk 10 in the morning. Dude, if Amber, if I didn't have the kid and Amber died, I could 100% keep up my house and basically give up. You know, like I'd have to do some things, but I could pretty much give up most of my drive and still be fine. I don't have a mortgage.
Starting point is 00:52:57 I do have a mortgage, but it's not that much because of where I live and like, dude, I could make my mortgage. You couldn't give up better than me. Bull shit Bull fucking shit I just But okay You don't have At least one aspect of this
Starting point is 00:53:11 So like I thought before Like If I had never You know so many comics Are maybe by the time They get to 40 and stuff They're getting married Whatever else
Starting point is 00:53:21 But like I've been with Katie We weren't married But I've been with Katie since I started Right And then your twin most comics For a very long time Or you know Singles
Starting point is 00:53:28 Bachelors whatever I get it But I thought before like I get why But I thought before like How if I was I'd
Starting point is 00:53:38 be Nick fall off I'd be either that or like 300 pounds yeah right me absolute fucking mess of a and like
Starting point is 00:53:49 wouldn't and would feel like shit all the time too because like if I if I had been for Katie and the boys and stuff I don't know if I'd ever toned it down like I did and like I don't think that that would hit
Starting point is 00:54:00 for like I know that eventually not that don't feel good Oh, but imagine how good it would feel getting there. But see, you don't get fat, though, like that. Yes, I do. You slimy son of a bitch. I get fat. You guys call me corn dog.
Starting point is 00:54:15 We don't have a nickname for fat tray. Because he shows up too much. Felix, the cat. I'm saying, look, none of this is real. If God forbid that it ever happened, I wouldn't go that far, ever. She hasn't removed from me. the kid hasn't removed for me the possibility. It's removed from me this dumb fantasy.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Andy and I have this like, she has like a dry erase thing on the mirror where she puts little positive messages on it. And I'll put my own messages on there too. And most of the time they're positive. I'm doing it correctly. But sometimes you boys throwing them in there. No doubt.
Starting point is 00:54:53 A little dagger here in there. And the last one, this was before the kid, that I wrote that was a joke was, I resent you for making me a better person. That's what I'm getting at is like, of course, part of the reason I love my wife is she's made me a better person. And of course, having this kid is a good thing because it's going to make me continue on that path. And of course, if God forbid something happened, no, because my mama loves me, I wouldn't go that far. Because I do have a future, I wouldn't let it go that far. Because
Starting point is 00:55:25 I have things to live for, but I had this fantasy of just not trying. I don't have that. I don't You know why you're correct, Trey. I just now figured it out. That trip was a trip me and my dad took after he had a heart attack, right? But we didn't take it for a couple years because he still had to recover. I think I'm 24 in that picture. My point is, when you're talking about if I was single and a comedian, how would it, thank you. If I was single and a comedian, how would it go?
Starting point is 00:55:53 In that picture right there, I had been doing stand-up longer than you had before the liberal redneck video came out. Right. And I did the whole thing with, I mean, I was in some types of relationship, but like basically without a steady woman, that is the fuck what happens. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Yeah, I don't actually want that. Yeah. But I imagine it being so much better than that.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Do you know what I mean? It's not. I'm sure. It would be now, you're not young. I was stupid. Like, I was young and stupid. Like, if Amber died and I would, you know, like, I eat healthier. I know how to exercise and stuff, but like, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:56:30 I'll probably fall apart The upshot of this is that I have a stupid fantasy Like the upshot of this is that the fantasy is stupid If you want to maintain your fantasy And I know your whole point is like But with a kid I can't because it ruins the family I get that But like bro
Starting point is 00:56:43 No one is more of a like Stereotypical Everything's fucked I'm slowly killing myself Throwing my life away type loser Than a guy who has lost his whole family I don't mean in a fire I mean by pushing them away
Starting point is 00:56:58 Or whatever Oh it can't be my fault Okay. In this fantasy. Everyone feels bad for me. Come on, dude. No one is more, you know, more of a fucking dirtbag than like that guy. The divorce guy who has a family, like, you know, so he's pissed off and they don't fuck with him. And he's laid drunk all day long and don't do shit. One time my mom...
Starting point is 00:57:18 It's the ultimate in dirtbaggery. One time my mom got angry out loud, she's always angry with my brother for kind of being the guy he's described. and she said in front of me I wish I could just fucking do pills and she almost never cusses, right? She says, I wish I could just do fucking pills. I wish I could just lay down somewhere and not put up with how hard things are.
Starting point is 00:57:44 She's in the right place for it, I'm right? Morgan County. You know. And that's what I'm getting at. I'm like, I was like, oh shit, mama, me too. She was making a point. But I was like, damn, dude, I guess we all got that. But it's a dark, it's a joke.
Starting point is 00:58:01 This is a joke. This is not how I feel. But it's that like, that little acorn of a thing. This is me. I don't fantasize about suicide the way some people do. I fantasize about quitting. I used to. I told Corey.
Starting point is 00:58:13 I don't do that anymore for the record. Every now and then, I hope this ain't like too much or whatever. But like, I know what time you guys started because I saw those texts and it was a little late. There might be another show. Is there, Aaron? We got to go. Oh, yeah, there is a 2 o'clock. There is a 2 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Hello, everybody, how I wanted to kill myself all the time. I will, yeah. I'm leaving on the cliffhanger of, like, how Corey used to talk about killing himself all time, so they'll be really worried about you and get on to me for not supporting you and all that shit, which is what always happens.
