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

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

Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better.

And it's called Rocket. money. Rocket money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want any more, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create custom budgets based on your past spending.

Rocket money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. And I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practice.

practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one I'd said it before, but I had a, I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies, you know, those weren't a little like the cue ball looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was that in response to? What was that reply I give for just when I did something stupid. Something fat and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for

it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money. Go to RocketMoney.com slash well read today. That's rocketmoney.com slash well, RED.

They like cornbread, but sex they care way too much, but don't give a fun. They're the liberal rednecks that makes some people upset. They got three big old dicks that you can suck. Same fucking things. Right. Well, and I'm stupid. Let's go. Hey, stupid.

You heard it here last, everybody. Welcome back to the well-read podcast. We're doing it virtually this week because Drew is indisposed in parts unknown. He said he's filming something, but I don't know what that may. He won't tell us. None of our business. He's doing the fake Lord's work out there somewhere in these, in these United States.

I think he was in Atlanta, but I think he came back. It doesn't mean. Anyway, he's flying or something. He just ain't here. It's true that it's none of our business, but like, I guess Drew's not like me and you in the sense that like, if me and you were filming something, we would have told everybody exactly what it is that we were filming for one of two reasons. If it was cool, we'd be wanting to brag.

And if it sucked, we'd be wanting to bitch. So it's got to be something in the middle, I feel. I would wait it out first. is what I would do. And then I would, if it did not hit, I assuredly would bitch about it. Yeah. But if it did hit, I'm more inclined to, like, try to pretend I don't care. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like, just like not bring it up thinking you guys will see it. I don't know you did that. Be like all that old thing. Yeah, but I didn't even think to tell you. I knew that we wouldn't ever see it. You know what I mean? I know.

And then I would just live with that forever. So is there some shit you've done that I just don't know about that's pretty cool and you're just waiting for me to see it so that you can look neat? No. No. So right. Not at all. Exactly. I must, as my personality, inform those closest to me, which because, especially because I'm an introvert is exclusively the group text.

Like y'all are the people, I tell y'all everything because I'm not going to talk to anybody else. So I must let y'all know if I'm doing something that hits. But honestly, more importantly, I must let y'all know if I'm doing something that don't hit so that we can all commiserate together. You know what I'm saying? Well, the one thing I will say about the situation with Drew, like, you know, because it is tradition when he's not here. We, you know, trash him a little bit to start.

So I'll figure I'll do a little bit of that. It'd be funny this week if what's going on, consider what's going on in the world and what I believe to be Drew's particular leanings. It'd be funny if men, you just spend an hour going hardcore pro-Israel the whole time, just like, just like fundamentalist Zionist and say it's like the official position of the well-read podcast and everything. And we talked with Drew about it and all decided and he can't be here, but we speak for him and saying, you know, that, you know, I don't even know enough about what the Zionists are to fake it right now. But anyway, that would be funny, though, because yeah,

Israel, well, whatever. You know, I think he, a lot of things about Israel, I believe, don't hit for him, but it's not the Jews don't hit for him, but Israel's situation don't hit for him. Whereas for me, I think the whole situation don't hit. That's pretty much my position, as we discussed before. Yeah, I would add this situation to our growing list.

You know, actually, it falls under, it falls under genocide don't hit. Genocide don't hit, yeah, which is already there. Always did that. been, you know, really, I think an unspoken addition to the list over the years, we can just assume to have been there even though I don't know if it ever came up, is also a bit, you know, apartheid don't hit. No, apartheid don't hit. And it's also kind of a cooler name for segregation, though. I'll say that. Like, the word itself don't not hit, but what it means don't hit.

You think if you grew up in South Africa, you'd, because we grew up in the South and like segregation, we just know what segregation. mean and we think of it mean in that because it do mean that. Right. Like you think if you're from South Africa, you'd feel the exact opposite way as you feel about those two words. Do you know what I mean? Like you think South African would be like, Oh, segregation, that's a nice attempt for it.

I'm doing an Australian accent. South African is weird. It sort of has that like it. It's a little, yeah, it's a little. Yeah. Well, the only person that I know how to do it is if I'll do an impression of, of, I watch that blow. Dick's Fandem ever?

No, he's a goal for Shalton Gary, Gary Player Gary Player Okay I think a Shalton I think he's like kind of lost his Aeney

Don't he Yeah but that But that he did have it at one point Correct presumably yeah You know Charlton Copply is He's a South African The dude from District 9 Yeah

actor I'm about saying I knew that sounded familiar Yeah Anyway I was going to trash through a little bit by saying the way, I thought by the way that you were going to ask me if I grew up in South Africa, if apartheid itself would hit for me. No.

It was like, I mean, I grew up in a version. Yeah, right. Right. Yeah, right. No, no, no. I just mean like, you know, that perception of the two words, I wonder if it would be flip-flopped if you were from there. Anyway, what I was going to say about Drew, you know, and trashing him mildly is that, yeah, he told us today, he was like, I can't do it because I got a film at three.

And that's all he said. And you were like, that would never happen with me, because I was. I'd tell you every last detail. You must know all the time if I'm doing anything at all that even remotely hits or don't hit, right? Yeah, right. And I was like, I'm somewhere in the middle. I will say, like, I kind of feel like doing the whole, I got a little something later today and not like. Yeah, it's bullshit.

It's kind of arguably more of a like, dickhead. See, I hit type of thing than just outright saying, hey, I'm going to. going to film some commercial or something later today. Right. You know what I mean? Because then it's like, it's leaving it nebulous. Like, you know, but it's like a thing that hits in our world. Filming something can imply hits, but it's a whole degree.

It could be like something super rad or something that's like something that don't hit. And so when you leave that wide open with no clarification whatsoever, you know. I'm with you because if I'm having to miss the well-read podcast or anything that's like a group thing that we're doing together. Like if I have to miss it, I'm going to give as much information as possible because in my brain, I'm laying out my case for like why I have to do it. Like, listen, guys, I know that this is the day we do our podcast. I wish that I could be there. This has to be this and you've got to understand it's this. Whereas Drew thinks so little of us that he's just like, by the way, fuck y'all both to death. I'm leaving and I'm not telling you what because you don't deserve to know.

But no matter what it is, it hits way harder for me and is more important than being with y'all on our show. Yeah. He did say all that. He said all of that. And the last thing he said was make sure and also tell everybody I said, don't free Palestine. That's what he said. That's right. Yeah.

That's it. Yeah. Hashtag apartheid hits. All that, Drew said. Yeah, he said all that. Yep. Yeah. You sure did.

That's funny. Hey, boy, speaking of that's funny. I wanted to tell you, we just did the magnificent Jen Tobs podcast, right? And it was lovely. Y'all should go listen to it. It's a part of the Politicon network,

tremendous podcast. Jen is great. And she had messaged me, sending me a clip. And she's like, by the way, I have to send this to you because trade doesn't follow me.

And then, you know, like a bunch of words on Instagram or something. Twitter, a bunch of things about how you don't hit. Yeah. I said, I said, not her because she's too sweet. But anyways, she then came back to me after I said, like, hey, I'll rep her mantra in due time. And she said, by the way, my friend from Glasgow listened to the episode near me, like with me and was literally dying, laughing the whole time.

And I said, okay, well, I got to ask, you know, how did they feel about the accent? and this person said that you in particular's Glasgow accent was literally pitch perfect spot on. Hell yeah. I thought you would like to hear that. Yeah, it does it. It's nice. So I pulled up Twitter or X, whatever, and Jen Tobb, her ass don't follow me.

Did she unfollow me because I don't follow her? Is that what happened? I told her to, yeah. Out of spite. Well, that, well, shit. Well, now I'm going to follow her and say, whatever. See, but people need to understand, you know, and I don't know what all you said about me not hitting.

I didn't. You know it to be. true that like yeah i don't actually despite being a uh what i told her was content creator or whatever i don't actually use social media but at all and people don't get like i don't i get on there to post my stuff and then i'm i don't ever use it for anything i have started watching i g reels a little bit lately because i was kind of i've been kind of blown away by how uh the algorithm how wild they are on there i guess it says something about me, but I think it says more about y'all, because the thread, we change your algorithm.

The thread is what got me on to IG Reels in the first place, and y'all exclusively thread things that include, like, you know, people with Down syndrome cooking or like, or dwarves shaking their asses or whatever and stuff like that. So my whole thing is just like little people and, you know, mentally handicapped people. That's like my whole out and black people, of course, hit. I was about to say, you left out the incredibly, like the incredibly racist things we share that we share exclusively because we're like, can you believe, can you believe that this shit is on Instagram? Because it blows me away because I'll share that stuff with y'all and it's like they literally

take down some of my videos for community guidelines. And I didn't even say nothing like this shit. You know what I mean? A lot of times I'm doing a character and they're like, we can't have that because you're quote spreading misinformation. And then I'll share something with y'all that's just so fucking racist. I will never ever understand any of that because yeah, I got, I mean, you know, I got banned from TikTok for a while

for a band for hate speech and I had to send like a fucking complaint email or whatever every day for weeks and they finally actually put me back on there but yeah we get shit stricken and shadow banned and stuff all the time and I hear other comics talk about it too like big hidden comics I heard Sam Boreal talking about being

shadow banned from Instagram for a while for the same type of thing and then you see that shit you see some stuff on there it's just like just like egregious blatantly hardcore racist Yeah.

And I'm like, well, I don't get how the, and it's got, you wouldn't be seeing it if it didn't, if it wasn't moving some numbers, you know, it's got like a lot of traffic. That's what blows me away the most. I don't get, I don't get, because it's all supposed to be automated, right? It's robots to catch you saying stuff you ain't supposed to say, I thought. So how do these people slip by the robots? I don't understand. Also, they train the robots to fuck you over in so many ways. Like, you were just telling me the other day, like, so, a, most people are not going to care about any of the.

this at all, but still, just Instagram don't hit for me in a lot of ways because like, hey, you could never put a link on anything. So I couldn't put like a link to my website for get people to buy tickets. So the way people got around that was you could put a link in your bio. So people, somebody made link tree where you can put links to all the shit that hits for you in your, in your bio. And then you just play hashtag link in bio. And that was the new method.

And even these things, it's like it takes weeks to find that out for me, especially. Like I finally hear it's like, hey, this is what everybody's doing. They've been doing it for three years. but now you know, Trey, that this is what everybody's doing. So then I start doing that and then you, because that's what my understanding is that's what you're supposed to do. And then you tell me the other day that you just found out that Instagram Barry's posts that say link and bio on that.

And I was told that by someone who used to work for Instagram. So it wasn't bullshit. And it's like it's because they just don't want you leave an Instagram for any reason, right? Like link in bio is trying to get somebody to go to a different, to go to your website or your homepage, you have to do something else besides. be on Instagram and that don't hit for them. But they don't hit for me.

Yeah, I agree. I agree. And all this came from the Gentob thing, which, and I explained to her, I took up for you, Trey. I said, listen, Trey loves talking to people that hit for him, but he doesn't check his DMs on the off chance that he has to see something that one of his fans said to him because he can't stand them. You know, I said, so it's not worth it for him.

Like, he could literally have a message from Andre 3000, but he wouldn't dare click them open because he might see someone from Nebraska who had a good time at his show and he will not like he won't do that no i check them every well i haven't checked facebook in like ever forever me either because it's mean people they're all mean well that that that is the actual reason i don't do it yeah like it's because you know you get enough fucking uh seemingly credible death threats or whatever and you just get you stop checking but also like people that like so many people dude I've met people too, comics out here and stuff who got a little traction on the internet or something.

They've asked me, they're like, you know, because like you've been at it for a long time. Like, how did you handle like, you know, just getting all swept up in it? You know, because like somebody just recently had something go like kind of viral and gotten some followers or something. They're like, I can't ever put it down. I'm like addicted to it.

Like it's like really got me by the horn. It's like all I do now. And that's how most of them are. That's how most people are, I think. For sure. Followers on the internet and stuff. And I guess I'm just like, I don't know.

I'm like, well, maybe you should get followers that want to kill you or something. Because that, because I just don't. I told him, I was like, they had the opposite effect on me.

Like, I used to, my day job and stuff. I used to get, I used to dick around on Facebook and Twitter. I mean, all the fucking time. Then when I went viral and got some online notoriety,

it drove me off the internet. Like, oh, I have to like, how it's been ever since. I have a, like, an alarm on my phone.

that goes off every other day that says remember to post on social media used to it was like I was just on there all the time and now dude if I ain't careful I hate it so goddamn much that I'll just fuck around and stop doing it and then I have to remind myself like hey your career's not at the point where you can not do this but yeah don't check the fucking DMs what a what a goddamn cesspool you've been spending your time differently on the internet lately I have. I have. Been digging into the AI,

diving in the AI pool a little bit. What do you? You don't think, you don't feel like a little conflicted about that. Because you know, people in our position, it's like a lot of the, a lot of them are like,

AI is an existential threat to us. And so, you know, you can't, can't fuck with it. You got to be fundamentally anti-AI, because AI is the enemy. A lot of people in our position think.

Couldn't agree more. Uh, no, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, but like, okay, look, here's the thing. When I first started doing, uh, AI stuff, I did a thing on my, I did a thing. You're watching right now, uh, you, this is saying all this as a picture of Ronald McDonald's shaking hands with Hitler pops up. By the way, can I tell you something? Can I tell you something about this particular Hitler? Well, you notice something about him. He's older. Yes. I finally had to start putting in the prompt a World War II era Hitler because every single time I put in Hitler doing something, it was old Hitler, which has got me scared that AI knows, AI knows that that motherfucker made it to Argentina. You know what I mean? It's weird. Why would you ever, why would you ever have old Hitler? That's what I'm saying like. Old Hitler never existed. I mean, you know, ostensibly. Yeah. Yeah. There's also Bugs Bunny holding a gun to his head in front of it. It was supposed to be Bugs Bunny.

holding a gun to his head in front of a children's hospital full of babies with a bunch of Confederate flags surrounding it. They're not quite there yet. You know what I mean? No, this is what has happened with that Confederate flag in the back of that? I mean, it seems like somebody tried to tear it apart. Maybe that was AI like being like, we'll give you what you want, but we still have to be. Yeah, yeah, right. I mean, maybe. I don't know. It looks like it, it almost looks more like a fucking ripped up like Houston Texans flag or something.

Yes, which I'm for. Yeah, sure. But also he's not holding the, Bugs is not holding the gun to his head. He's not. He's Yosemite Samin it. Yes. With two different non-Civil War era guns. And he's not

if I'm looking at, look how he's holding the gun in his right hand. It makes no sense at all. Why would you, why would I do that? If y'all are only listening, And he's like holding the gun like you'd hold like a purse or a wallet or something. Like he's got his hand wrapped around the top half of it, not around the handle or the trigger at all. Let me now before I go through these pictures because I want to.

And actually I want you to try to guess what some of them are. Okay. Before I go through these, I want to state, yes, I do get conflicted about AI. Now right now I'm using this kind of specifically for fun and also to show the flaws of AI. So, like, I feel fine about that. But one particular reason that I'd been using it was on my substack, which you can go to at bonus cory.com, that's where I do a bunch of bonus things, as the site, you know, implies. They had, the writer's strike was like, just bonus cory.com. Bonuscori.com.

Yeah. How many different domain names do you have for this substact? That's at least the third one. Is it not? There's so many more. You just can't. You just can't satisfy your stuff. with one. You find problems with all of them. You're like, this don't, no, that don't have for me.

It's not that I have problems with all of them. It's, well, the first one was Corey Wrightsfor You.com, which by the way, you can still get there through that. But what happened was, and I do write on there, but I definitely started to do more video and audio stuff. So I was like, well, you know, I still do right there, but like if, if I'm promoting it by Corey Wrights for You dot com and people get on there and it's a lot of audio and shit, that's not really fair. You know, they might sign up for something they don't want. And then, When I was, we were about to have the kid and I announced that I was taking time off from the road. I was like, I went back to my old nickname that one of my bosses gave me, which was part time funny man.

So we went to part time funnyman.com. And then I was like, recently I was like, it would be nice if the thing just said exactly what it was. And I noticed that bonus Corey.com was available. So I got it too. These domains are not that fucking expensive, especially because nobody else would use these names for anything. You know what I mean? So I'm like a low-key, I fuck with domains. Like I have my own little like stock portfolio type thing of domains

and I like track their like, you know, value and stuff. It's kind of fun for me. There's another comedian who does this. Who the fuck is it? The exact same thing. I heard them on a podcast talking about like a hobby of theirs to collect domains and, God damn it. Our buddy Conrad has, he told me yesterday,

he has 731 domains. That is pretty wild. Yeah. So anyways, I started fucking with AI there when the writer's track was going on just to show, I wanted to show everybody like, hey, if these fucking corporations really do think that AI is going to take a writer's job, let me just show you how, yeah, they can like, you can put a prompt in there and they'll give you like a story overview or whatever. But that's all really ever it is. Like, no matter how detailed the prompt you put in there, if you tell them to write you a story about something, what they really end up writing for you is like a really long elevator pitch of a story. Like, the characters have no development. You know what I'm saying?

Nobody has any individuality. It's shitty. So I would put, I would put like a prompt in there. And then I would piss out that story and show everybody. And I go, now I'm going to take this prompt and put it into my writer's head and I'm will come up with something that's better. You know what I'm saying? And I started doing that. And that is how Colonel Cornbread in the case of the Confederate Ruby was born.

Right? Now. But also, before you even get into all this, we actually, you just reminded me this whole conversation. We meant to talk about this on the podcast weeks ago. Because I, me and Mark were having a writing session for that Al Gore thing I did. And I don't remember. how this happened or how it came up, but I remember during that Mark made some,

we were trying to maybe think of a joke about chat GPT or something. I don't know. And that led us to get on chat GPT. And I wrote the prompt, write me a joke in the style of Trey Crowder. Right? And this is what this robot, son of a bitch, came up with in response to that.

Write me a joke in the style of Trey Crowder. This is what it said. why did the chicken join the protest because it wanted to cross the road to equality y'all i took a screenshot of that and sent that to you got sent that to the thread and then said i want to kill myself one of the best days on the thread we've had all year it just like and then you have you have the app up yeah go ahead yeah you got on there and typed in you know you typed in write me a joke in the style of Trey Crowder, and it said, why don't scientists trust Adams,

ATOMS, because they make up everything, just like my uncle Randy and his conspiracy theories. Right? And what's pissing me off about it then and now is it's just like, it's just so fucking superficial level. Like, I don't, like, that's not even remotely, it's not even close to accurate. Like, that's not, it's like,

how you do jokes. It's so superficially accurate because it's like, There's liberal shit and there's redneck shit in each of these examples. But it's like a fourth grader came up with it or something. It's not actually how I do comedy at all in my videos or on stage, either one. So it just pissed me off. You wrote in a, you wrote, write me a joke in the style of Cory Ryan Forrester. And it said, why did the scarecrow win an award?

Because he was outstanding in his field, just like me after a few too many drinks at the county fair. Not bad Yeah But you're right It's like I would It's like it's like It's like it's almost like you wrote the prompt Write me a joke in the style of

Cory Ryan Forrester That's super on the nose and would piss him off That a robot thought this about him Yeah Some of it is weird though like we wrote Write me a joke in the style of Drew Morgan And he said The computer said

Why did the tomato turn red Because it saw the salad dressing and realized it forgot to put on pants just like me during every Zoom meeting, right? Yeah, yeah. And it's like, that's weird. How they know Drew naked? Because Drew's naked all the time.

Right, exactly. Like, it's, it is kind of, like, it does sort of throw you off with some of the shit, but, uh, let's say here. Uh, and then I said, write me a joke in the style of Mark Agey, right? Mark hasn't done stand up in 10 years or whatever. He's a writer, but like, you know, he don't have any. shit out there really i said write me a joke in the style of mark aegee it said why did the pessimistic comedian refuse to play cards because he was afraid of a dexaster every time he dealt with the hand life had given him right which is like not funny as a as a joke or whatever but it is funny

because it's like you know how he hates everything mark hates everything and it's like it's got that represented in there Then here's two of my favorites. You asked it, you said, is Trey Crowder gay? And it said, it said, no, Trey Crowder is not gay. He's a comedian known for his Southern liberal and progressive viewpoints. He often speaks out in support of LGBTQ rights. He identifies, though, as a heterosexual.

Okay. Then you asked it, is Corey Ryan Forrester gay? And it said, as of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Corey Ryan Forrester is openly gay. He is a comedian known for his southern roots and often incorporates his personal experiences, including his sexuality into his comedy. So, yeah, chat GPT called you a queer or, yeah. Thanks you. Hey.

Thank you gay. And not only that you gay, but says that you, like, have a lot of bits about being gay, which it's like, if you joke, if you were like, if you were like Mark Norman, well, I was going to say, if you're like, you know, Mark Norman, he does that all the time. He's like, you know, it's like a running joke with him. He's like, oh, I'm a little tired. I'm a little gay. Or I'm hung over. I'm gay. I'm late.

I'm whatever. Like, that's like a thing with him. If you did something like that, then I would sort of maybe get that a little more. But I don't feel like you do that. You don't get up there and, you know. No, but I do have several jokes about me. Like, so on our album that we recorded seven years ago, which I don't know where ChatGPT minds its information from. You know, I don't know.

Is it getting in the audio? Yeah, you know, I know it's everywhere. It's it because one time I put in, who is Corey Ryan Forrester? And they were like, Corey Ryan Forster is a Southern comedian who made his, rose to fame through his YouTube series, The Cudzu Chronicles. Right? Now, I was like, what the fuck is that? And I went to my YouTube and like so many of my old buttercream dream videos, I was standing in front of like, Kudzu and woods and shit. So I was like, it's just taking that and just going, eh, probably.

But I do have a lot of bits like, you know, on the album, I had one that was talking about people not wanting gay people to bake cakes for them or you can't bake cakes for gay people on their wedding or whatever. And then I said, you know, that's funny because in my opinion, cake is the gayest food that you can possibly have. And one of the punch signs was like, the only way to make cake gayer is if you ate it out of my asshole. And then I went on some tangent about how like I'd actually be really cool with that and that would hit for me. And then I had a bit about gays in the military where I was playing a fictionalized Marine from the South who joined the military exclusively to butt fuck people because he had never heard of gay clubs and thought that's the only way he could do it. And he ends up telling one of his friends right during a like bomb attack that he wants to suck his dick. And then I've got to, I used to have a couple about giving dudes hand jobs behind a dumpster for pills and shit. So what I'm saying is, I don't know.

maybe I seem gay to a robot, you know? Well, glad we figured that out. So continue with what you've done here. Okay, so we already know what that one is. First of all, how did you find, how many of these are there? Like, I don't mean the pictures. I mean, how many different AI toys are you playing with? This is one.

No, this one was 40 bucks. What? Okay. How did you find this particular one? I was scrolling through Instagram and I just saw some, you know, saw it and it had a lot of reviews and I was like I have 40 bucks is definitely because I there are some free ones I've been fucking with and it's just like it's whatever these are like they've got all these different styles like the thing is like it is kind of fun to just see what it will fucking do with it you

know um so what all does it it exclusively is for image making like you give it a prompt make me a picture of blank and then it does it and that's what it's what it's for I'm gonna need that from you one more time it's just for image production like you give it a prompt and it makes a picture and that's all it does. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I haven't played around. I literally just got it this morning or yesterday just so I could play a very private joke in one of our threads that doesn't bear repeating. Mainly because nobody knows the people involved in it.

But yeah, but yeah, I, you know, I fuck around with a couple of them. But this, I was like, well, it's, you know, it's kind of fucking fun. I don't know. So let's, I think we're about to the point of the guessing game. Let's see. Yes. Okay. well, that's easy.

That's Adolf Hitler drawn as the Simpsons given a speech. And they've made all the members of the Third Reich into many Barts and there's a couple of Magis.

No, there's a couple leases back there. This one, I want you to guess what that is. This was an insane prompt, and I don't think they even came close to getting it right,

but can you guess what I was trying to do there? Steampunk, water world, Hellscape. You got Waterworld, You got Waterworld correct. It was

Waterworld, but the ocean is a bunch of Burlington Coat factories. What? Yeah, I know. And can you believe they didn't do anything with that? Okay, this one right here, can you guess? It's a movie. It's a movie in a different style.

Is that, I can't tell. Is that cake in front of them? What is that? Actually, it looks like little salt and pepper shakers that have or ashtrays maybe. I don't know. It's dumb and dumber. It's dumb and dumber in the style of a crime noir.

This one is also, which they've just made two hairy, hairy duns here. But, you know, kind of hits for me. I would honestly hang that up on my wall. It looks like a movie poster. Yeah. Okay, this is, you probably just saw that there. That is Raylan Givens using a snake as a pencil.

No, it isn't. well it is I disagree I'm saying I'm disagreeing with the robot here how yeah it looks more like Bruce Campbell oh well actually yeah now it's well that's weird because I definitely saw him as railing until you said that now I've looked at him closer and I could tell that it ain't actually railing but also like that snake just looks like it's like just a snake on a table in front of him yeah yeah if you look down here a little bit it looks like perhaps he's part of that pencil like his tongue may be coming out and it's the pencil. But yeah, again, the technology's not quite there yet.

And I'm giving it, you know, obviously that doesn't look like Timothy Oliphant. I'm giving it the benefit of a doubt that it's like, well, you didn't say draw Timothy Oliphant. This is what we think Raylan from the books would look like. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Fair enough. Okay.

Can you guess this one? You should have tried Timothy Oliphant, though, and seen what happened. That's true. that's a two can and that's that's a two can and that's that a little Mexican boy cartoon the prompt I'm not telling you that it looks like this I'm just telling you what the prompt was this is two can Sam playing tennis with Pol Pot the dictator why would I make Pol Pot so cute that's like an adorable little pixel character. Fucking Pol Pot was

a genocidal maniac. So there's different styles that you can make them where one of them is like photorealistic, then there's like anime, then there's like cartoon, but I decided to have it set up on no style in which it just picks one at random for you and that was fun.

So this is, I guess it landed on cartoon and this is a benevolent dictator Pol Pot playing tennis with Duke A and Sam. Oh, I love this one. All right, I think you're going to get who the dude is for sure. Yeah.

Kim Jong-un and Margaret Thatcher? No, the prompt was, the prompt was Kim Jong-un learning typewriter from Angela Lansberry. Okay. And again, they nailed the typewriter at. Well, she's teaching him. He's not at that part yet.

You know what I mean? Like, no, no, no, we're not even close to get to the typewriter yet. You got to learn how this shit works first. You know what I mean? I love how much of a fucking, like, just dartboard, situation your psyche is apparently with dictators with these prompts just all yeah yeah dictators are

coming up a lot but it's like let me yeah it's like you've got different categories you're like dictator setting you know i don't know yeah pulling different lotto balls out of different cups and throwing it in a fucking robot yeah mad lib of lunacy well the reason that i started going with dictators is because so i typed in hitler first and it was like no problem here's hitler and then I put in the prompt like, it was like, you know, Osama bin Laden having lunch at Golden Corral with Jimmy Carter or some shit like that. And it was like, oh, I'm sorry that he is too controversial a figure to blah, blah, blah. And then I was like, wait, what? And then I just kept putting in Hitler and they were like, here you go.

And I was like, wait a minute. I was like, how the fuck is Osama bin Laden too controversial, but Hitler's fine? And then I was just like, I kept putting in dictators to see who would cross the line. Okay, you're never going to get this. What is that, Drake? uh fuck uh i don't know a civil war era photo of a banks board of directors

or something it is well no there's a woman there so it can't be that it's the cast of saturday night live if the south had won the war that's what that is and by the way i did it twice and i'd have to disagree with the second one there's a couple things that they got oh yeah yeah couple but that's like yeah i mean that one also don't work because you got black people

there i get but like that's what i'm saying i don't know though dude i think by now even if the south would have won i think we'd be at least letting black people entertain us you know that's true just to be fair you know what i mean like they always um yeah they do enjoy that we're into that yeah like you know can they can they can they dance let them in you know i'm not saying that that's what they said. No, that's what they say. But that first one, it's like, I don't think we'd still be quite so plantationy if the South had won the war, you know, 150 years ago. I don't think we'd all still be looking like fucking Beauregard and whatnot. Couldn't agree more. You got anything for that one? That's O.J. Simpson starring in an 80s sitcom with himself. I've just put in OJ. Simpson in an

episode of he-haul and they they came back with by the way that's exactly how clevon little dressed in blazing saddles yeah uh i did i did that twice this is also clevon little in an er excuse me o j simpson an episode of he-hall i can see this guy in the back kind of having a little rory clark uh situation going on okay again this is another one that like it didn't give me any of the characters but like i fucking love this picture uh you got any type of guess. Look at the front, the first car there, and maybe it'll give you a clue. If the Mandalorian took place in 80s, Los Angeles? No, Smokey and the Bandit during Vietnam War.

Okay. Okay. You got anything to that one? I'll give you a hint. They finally let me use this guy. Yeah, is that Osama? the back? I typed in, what if Osama bin Laden had a YouTube prank show? That's what I got.

Why don't you use him one time, but not other times, you know, I don't understand. I think because the other one, I also mentioned 9-11, and maybe it was like, you can't do both. Like, we'll give you Osama bin Laden, but like he's got to be doing something, you know, not so bad. This one, I'll give you a hint. Football. Is that Travis Kelsey giving Taylor Swift to kind of? COVID vaccination.

That's right. Yes, sir. All right. Finally got one. Which of course made me think of this. I mean, that's Aaron Rogers, but I can't, he's got a funny hat on. But this, the prompt was Aaron Rogers about to play, go as Adolf Hitler to a Halloween party, but not fully dressed yet. Okay.

And then this one was more fully dressed. Yeah, it's just Nazi Aaron Hudgers. Okay, Donut Trump. I typed in Donald Trump diabetes. And this is what it came back with, which, you know, pretty cool picture. I was about to say, see, that's another, that one right there, it's like, that's like, like, like, like I could see some content creator on the internet making that is like a piece of digital artwork or something. Or a shirt. Yeah, or a shirt.

Like, that, that is kind of, that is kind of a cool looking thing. Agreed. Um, okay. Wait a minute. You know digital art, you don't digital artwork is a thing, right? Yeah, of course. Is this all that they've been doing? I'm pretty sure, dude.

I'm pretty fucking sure. Really? Yeah, because also, I thought, I thought they were using like some kind of jacked up form of Microsoft paint. I'm sure that some of them, you know, but like. I'm certain that some of them do, and those people are mad at all the people that do this shit, because I know that, like, so I, on this I can save that image right there. Because if you don't save the image, like, and you type in the same prompt later,

it's going to give you one that's like kind of the same idea, but not exactly right. But I can save this image right here and then put it back in and go, this same image except for change the landscape or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So that way you have like consistency with it and stuff. So I was thinking I was like, I bet you some of these board ape motherfuckers,

like someone drew the first board ape, and then one of them ran it through this, generator and was like, give me a thousand different versions of this monkey. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I don't understand that bored ape shit at all. I don't either. I mean, it don't not, listen, the board ape itself doesn't not look cool. It's just that when you go, by the way, it's $500,000.

I'm like, okay, no. You got anything on this one? Donkey Trump, Donald Trump, if he was Kim Jong-owned and wanted ice cream or something, Now, this is Donald Trump being told he can't have ice cream at a rooms to go show housed. Okay. Yeah. What the fuck? His teeth look wild.

They gave him like donkey, rabbit teeth or something. He looks like he looks like he's in the Pinocchio universe about to turn into a lost boy or whatever, you know. Yeah. That's exactly what he looks like. Yeah, you really nailed that. Is this if Mitch McConnell was a. AIDS? Yes. You nailed it.

Mitch McConnell is surrounded by blood cells or whatever. It's Mitch McConnell, uh, AIDS. Yes. And this is, can you guess? Juggalo. I can't tell who that's supposed to be. Juggalo somebody, but I can't tell him. Juggalo Mitch McConnell.

Yeah. Oh, okay. You're getting good. You're getting good. Oh, shit. Did you see that promise? I'm pumped. Frazier Crane abolishing slavery.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Have you watched the new Fraser? Not yet, but I'm pumped. Oh, fuck yeah, I'm going to, dude. That's one of my favorite shows of all time. It's like literally top five, top five favorite sitcoms for me.

And like, I've been rewatching it, even though I know there's no point because like, I know how everything in it. I could just go start the new show. But like, I wanted to re-envelop myself in the world. So I've been rewatching it. And like, I'm telling you, dude, every time I watch Frazier, it hits harder for me. Like, not just as a, not just as like I'm into this situation and I'm glad they made a sitcom out of it. But like, how fucking good it is, like from the writing, from everything about it.

Like, every single episode of Frazier is like a staged play. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, no. Frazier's fucking awesome. You might enjoy this little anecdote about the new Frasier. I haven't watched any of it either. And I don't know if I'm going to, well, I mean, not because of this. But like, so during the writer's track, I'd go down there and pick it at Disney and stuff.

One of the days I went down there, I met a guy who writes for the Frazier reboot. And I hadn't even come out yet or whatever, but he's in the, he's in the room. He's a staff writer on the Frazier reboot. And we met for the first time down there. And we like hit it off and did a few laps together and stuff. Talked for like a couple hours probably. and I, you know, exchange phone numbers, all this stuff. And he specifically asked me.

Like, he asked, he's like, so what are you working on? Where you got, whatever? And I was like, you know, I said, well, I got this script. And I got that, you know, whatever, I explained a couple of them. And he was like, he asked me. He was like, will you send me that one? Like, he picked one of them out. He's like, we send me that one.

I'd like to read that. And I was like, yeah, sure, man. I'll send it to you, right? So I got his number or whatever, this email address. I sent it to him. Ghosted me, never heard a word after that. That is just how much that script did not have. for this guy evidently as he was just like,

oh, I got to write this dude off forever. Like, I can't, I can't even acknowledge, delete his number, fucking block him. I don't know. Like, I can't even acknowledge that. I met this guy. That's how bad this script is. To be fair, the script I sent him.

Wait to see if you see some of the jokes turn up in the new Frazier. You know what I'm saying? They definitely won't because I was, I was about to say, to be fair, this dude, in addition to working on the new Frazier, he did,

he does, he's like, he's kind of firmly in that like network, sitcom world, right? Like pretty exclusively. And I sent him, again, he asked for it. But I, because he's worked on other network sitcoms, multi-camera sitcoms, right?

And so I told him, I was like, oh, you know, I wrote this like R-rated white trash multi-cam. Yeah. I was like, I wrote this R-rated white trash multi-cam once because I thought that'd be funny, you know, and that's when he was like, I'd like to see that. So I sent him that. And so, Corey, not like, this script is, fuck, it's based on our buddy DJ. It's so funny.

It's like everybody loves Raymond, but if it was about DJ and his woman and it's set in the trailer park or whatever, and it's a multi-cam, and it's like absolutely fucking insane. There's a whole runner through it about butt-fucking, like, but-fucking jokes and then also butt-fucking is part of the actual resolution at the end of the, not like you don't see butt-fucking, but it, you know, but fucking, it comes full circle, full butt-fucking circle. Yep. And all kinds of, I mean, it's just, it's wild and very. very, very vulgar, because it's, one thing I found about that script, because I've showed it to other people, too, and it kills me. It's like, the exact reason I wrote it and the reason I like it is the reason other people, like, people actually in the industry are like, what the fuck is this? You know what I mean? Because it's like, because it's turning it on its head.

Because to me, the whole thing was like, what if it was everybody, everybody loves Raymond, but fucking redneck and R-rated as hell and with all, and so, super vulgar and all this shit. Wouldn't that be neat? And then like, but people get like a multi-cam script or whatever and they're just like, Jesus Christ, this fucking thing, maybe that,

but I just don't, obviously I'm biased, but I don't think this about everything I've written, but like, I just don't see how you couldn't at least think it's funny. It is very funny. It's super funny. I'm not saying it's like groundbreaking,

but it's a fucking multi-camera sitcom. Anyway, it doesn't matter. But that's my story about the new Frazier. I know a guy that works on it, and I don't hit for him anymore on the counter. kind of a script I wrote. Well, maybe he just hasn't read it yet.

You know, he was busy. This was four months ago. Well, you know, but the strike, like the strike was what it was. That took a couple of time and now he's back to work. It is very much possible because I would do this. I have done this, I think. It is very much possible that he just never read it at all. Yeah.

And then forgot. And then eventually forgot. Never read it at all. It was like, I got to get around and then just never did. because, I mean, I do shit like that all the time. Me too. And it don't mean the person don't hit for me. It just means that they didn't leave any type of impression, and I think they're worthless.

Right. I think, I'm pretty sure I actively don't hit for him anymore. Anyway, we can get back to, back to this. Okay. Hitler, making pizza with, uh, the lady from the old maid cards. Uh, no, Harriet Beatcher Stowe. I'm not quite sure that that.

what she looked like but that's what AI thinks she looks like this is pretty straightforward but it's metal to me this is um if the civil war uh had aliens in it which yeah that hits you know i was i was really hoping that they would make like some confederate aliens uh but you know pretty metal piece of art um okay you're gonna love this one what's that uh i i is that if the Leonard Skinner plane crash happened at January 6th? No, no. It's it's what if Kurt Cobain stormed the Capitol. Okay, all right.

Yeah, but hey, that's pretty fire. It kind of looks like the cover of Street Survivors. It does. It does. The Standard album, but with the Capitol in the back, yeah. Yeah. Got two more here. What was that one? If Tony the Tiger was at Tiananmen Square?

Yeah. It's wrong. Got it. Dude, you've gotten three. Exactly. on the dot, which is pretty impressive because I set this up where you couldn't. And the last

one here, that, I'll just tell you, that is, I just couldn't get enough of Osama bin Laden. That's if Osama bin Laden was in the hit Norman Lear show all in the family. There you go. There you fucking go. So, you know, I don't you lie to me.

I know you've used this like with, for yourself, haven't you? You've done something with, like, can you use it that way? Can you put in, like, pictures of yourself and, like, put me in front of the fucking, you know, Eiffel Tower or whatever kind of basic bit shit people might do. But, like, you know. I haven't yet.

I haven't yet. Blows me away. I figured the first thing you'd up, you'd be, I figured you'd be on there trying out different hairstyles and stuff. You're like, now, let's go pomp a door. Let's go, well, now I want you to do that. And I want to see the results of it. Here's the reason I didn't, because I know, like, I, so, like, one of the first things I did.

I did was I tried I typed in like you know, Trey, I did, I typed in Trey Crowder committing the 9-11 terrorist attacks. And it kept making you a black dude who was like a general in something. And I was like, hold on. Did I look, I was like, did I put Tate Crowder? Like, what the fuck is this shit? And then I realized that I didn't. And so once I realized like, oh, it apparently doesn't know who Trey Crowder is,

which is weird to me because the other AI does, I was like, well, it definitely ain't going to know who the fuck I am, but I could put a picture of myself in there. Yes, you're correct. That technology does exist. And yes, I will try that. But no, I got this fucking yesterday and immediately started using it for the purposes that I'm doing right now, having fun. And then you said, I want to see these on well-read.

So I spent my morning just making up these insane scenarios. But yeah, I'll do that and I'll share them with you later. Okay, yeah, that'll hit. Yeah, it may be even thinks, you know, know there's j crowder there's tay crowder uh those are both hitting black dudes uh yeah one of the jr krener obviously the more famous but i guess i went with tay because go dogs but you know what you going to do yeah and then also most dudes named t r ae are bros so that's true i didn't even think about that yeah but i mean i i got it like you said i mean the other you know the other prominent ayes know

who I am, you know. And think you're gay. And think I'm gay. No, they think you're gay. That's right. Well, they think your comedy's gay. That's true. Yeah.

They think I'm actually a homosexual person, which is different than being gay in this regard, obviously. But yeah. Anyways, to your original point, like, I don't know, man. Like, you almost, like, obviously that the strike was about AI, and it oughtn't be, like, they oughtn't be able to do that shit. But then there's also this part of me that's like, well, okay, but like, you know, it's out there and you're not putting that fucking genie back in the bottle. Like, it's going to be AI.

And matter of fact, this is the worst version of it we'll ever see. And that's what fucking scares me. It's like, because when I started doing that thing on my substack, like, let me, oh, yeah, y'all think you're going to replace us with it. Let me show you how they be doing it. And it's not that good. And I'm like, okay, but this is like model number one that we've gotten. You know what I mean? But I don't think, I really think that nobody was actually ever really worried about that part of it because, like, human creativity requires some type of soul and different perspective.

But I think what's worrying about it is that it's very possible that it could take the job of a writer's assistant. It could take the job of like note takers and stuff like that. And these are all jobs that, like, you know, historically in our industry, you have those jobs so that you can be in those rooms so that you can be in those rooms so that you can. can get an opportunity to be a staff writer and then showrunner. You know what I mean? Yes. But, I mean, also you said it requires some kind of soul or whatever, but think about the sheer number of things you've seen on TV and streaming that are utterly soulless.

Like it's not like, and also some of the things that are hugely popular too. I mean, that's, you know, like during the right, like, there's about to be a whole stretch of just reality garbage. Shit ass reality garbage come out that they started making during the writer's track and whatnot. and the actress track still ain't over. So, like, for the next few months, get ready for a deluge of dumb, dumb shit.

Some of which will probably be a massive hit. And it's also like, you know, like, in a way, though, I guess that's been, like, so this has been ongoing for a long time already because it's like people felt the same way they do about the rise of AI is that when, like, reality shows started taking everything over. Because it's like, you don't need hitting writers or actors

or any of that shit for a reality. show, you know. Right. You just turn a camera on a fucking lunatic and go or whatever. And they've been super popular. Yeah, I remember, like, Breaking Bad and Duck Dynasty were popular at the same time. And, like, the highest ranking episode of Breaking Bad ever, I feel like I don't think it did, like, a tenth of the numbers of, like, the Duck Dynasty Christmas special or whatever, which to me is like a goddamn shame and an abomination. But it's like, it's true.

So I'm saying, if they can make. money pumping out soul of shit that robots did create, then they absolutely would do that. And we just stopped making good shit at that point. So that's why, you know, that's why it don't hit. That's for sure. But like they've already be doing that anyways. So, you know, I don't know. But hey, did you, speaking of all that and the writer's striking stuff, did you ever read, I want to say it was like an op-ed on, it was either the Washington Post or the New York Times or something like that. about the person who was talking about how they feel that the 2007 writer strike directly led to Donald Trump being the president. Oh, I know what you're talking about, but yeah, I don't remember the details of it.

I don't so elaborate. Basically. That's what read the apprentice. Yep. That's what made the apprentice happen because they were scrambling to find shit. They do the apprentice. Or it was like they had already done the apprentice and it wasn't doing that well. and they'd like almost gotten rid of it.

Then the writer strike happened and they realized that they really had to like focus on this shit more. And so they did. It becomes a massive hit. And like, I mean, dude, it's honestly pretty hard to argue that without the apprentice, Donald Trump wouldn't have reached. He wouldn't have reached the type of celebrity that he was in 2012 when he started shitting on Obama, which is what kind of directly led to the president. But like you kind of have to have the apprentice putting him.

out there in that space in order for that to happen. So like, yeah, did you ever watch The Apprentice? Yeah, like, not as like, oh, we got to sit down and watch The Apprentice. But like, you know, that was back in the time, like, I was living with my folks. I was still in high school and shit. And, you know, that was back when you just watched fucking network television and it was on. And I think we caught some like Celebrity Apprentice and stuff.

But I know, like, my dad and then watched it. And this is another one of those things that we talk about all the time where, like, these people used to hate him. Right. Like my dad then turned, my dad wrote a sketch for our church and, like, filmed and directed it where my dad was playing Donald Trump and they were doing like a Christian celebrity apprentice. And like, dad was, by the way, murdering it, doing a very good impression of Trump. But like, as this dipshit who was the butt of all the jokes and stuff like that.

Right. Absolutely. Well, that's the, well, so that's what I was going to ask, because I never, not like I was above it or anything, but I just never, I never fucked with that show. But I remember it being a big cultural phenomenon. And even that in retrospect, it's like, why? And it was it because people were watching it and they were like, I don't know, laughing at him or something or like, I don't know. He's just got some sort of weird thing about him that like seems to draw a shitload of people in or whatever that I just am thankfully immune to, I guess. Well, we, I mean, me and you both know that, like, we'd be lying if we said that every now and then Trump don't say some shit that we find objectively hilarious.

Like, oh, yeah. He just does. Like, fuck him to death. Let us go on record. 9-11 genocide. Donald Trump, don't hit. But, like, sometimes he says some shit that I'm like, that's, that was a funny thing to say. And he actually said it on purpose.

So, like, I think with a lot of those, like, they probably would watch it. Like, let's watch this fucking carpetbagger piece of shit. But then every now and then he would be like. dumbly charming or something. And like, I do understand, like, why this celebrity apprentice got numbers because it's like, you know, you're dancing with the stars. Like, if Dancing with the Stars was just regular people dancing, not many, I'm not saying it couldn't work because obviously American Idol works, but like, it's the celebrities that do it,

you know, like they fuck, like, you know, they love watching Donald Trump fire Chad Ocho Senko or something like that. Right, but, but. Amorosa was the most popular and she's not a celebrity. the celebrity, that apprentice, that came after the original one, right? Yeah, no, I was just saying, like, I understand why that one was popular, but I'm back with you on the, like, I don't get why the other one was, but I mean. What did Amarosa come down? I don't know.

But I think she, yeah, she was just a regular contestant. Like, she wasn't a celebrity. She, like, she was the breakout star of just the regular apprentice. Like, that's the thing that made her famous was being a regular person on the regular apprentice. Yes. Or something. I don't know. And my mom played Armarosa in the church sketch.

She didn't go blackface. She didn't go blackface. She didn't go blackface. What a fucking. Was that even a conversation? No, no, no, no. Absolutely not. They didn't have it in the budget.

And so one of the whole running jokes of the sketch was like dad couldn't pronounce her name because Trump couldn't do that either. And so dad would just be like, come here, Chimmy Chunga. I've got an idea for you. Hammaretto Sauer. Get over here. I got an idea for you. business and just murdering.

I mean, he fucking did great. But like, again, it wouldn't have been funny if everyone didn't collectively go, Donald Trump's kind of a blowhard dip shit, huh? Yeah, right. Yeah. But no, no black face. My mother has never, to my knowledge, painted her face. Well, at least there's that.

All right. At least there's that. Listen, y'all, come see me this weekend in Boston. Yeah, Boston, come on, you fucking quiz. come out and see me up there. Wicked. Laths, Boston. Yeah.

It's going to be a good time. And then next, I'm going other places too. San Francisco, Chicago, Phoenix, other hitting places coming up. So go to Treycrowder.com, come and see me. You can also get our book around here and over yonder. It's a comedic travel guide. It's a lot of fun. It's on Treycroutor.com, too.

Or you can go to Audible and get the audiobook, which we both read and which hits. So do that, and we appreciate you. Go ahead, Joe. That's true. I would also like to thank everyone. everybody who came and saw me in the Chattanooga Comedy Festival. That was a ton of fun. Y'all all showed out, and it was wonderful.

And I think we need to, we press this on the last show, and I think we probably still should. Obviously, if you're in Nashville, you're going to come see us at the well-read shows in Nashville December 14th or 16. But we've also been trying to tell people like, we're not touring as much together as we used to. So if you want to see us all together, if you're just in the surrounding areas, maybe make a girl's trip out of it. You know what I'm saying? And on that note, December 28, I will be at the Grey Eagle in Asheville.

And opening up for me will be friends of the show, the hilarious good cop, rad cop. And yes, because I have musicians on the show with me, my show will also be a little extra something. So come see me, Asheville. Go to bonus cory.com for all my bonus stuff. Listen to putting on airs, buy the book. And also, thank you all for listening to The Well Red Show. We'd love to stick around longer, but we got to go. A tune in next week if you got nothing to do.

Thank you, God bless you, good night and skew. Fart. This episode is brought to you by the new book, Round Here and Over Yonder, written by 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 went away 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. Chocked-Fill. Chocked full of jokes. We chalked-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. 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. round here and over yonder wherever you get you books do it at an indie bookstore hell amazon though
