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

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

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

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

In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using.

So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know,

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

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

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

I've noticed. I mean, not that I do either, but you know, I've never been around him when he's sick, but like you hear him, like to hear him talk about it, it's like a nigh on emergency each time. Like, it's always like, I can't walk. Yeah. I can't get up.

I can't. He's also pro not operably. Yeah, right. That's kind of what I'm saying. Like when he's doing good, he's like, I am the Babe Ruth of this new hobby I developed yesterday. I'm the best to ever do it. Right. So it might just be that he exaggerates all of his current statuses, whether they be good or bad.

Yeah, I buy that for sure. But I also think he's probably unbearably annoying when he's sick. Yeah. Is that what you were getting at? Did I take the bait? No, no, go ahead. Continue. Well, no, you're talking about him saying, like, I can't get up. Yeah. Everything sucks. I mean, I feel like he's vocal about that when he's sick. I assume when you're present with him, don't you think? Yeah. Yeah, presumably. But we say all this and then, like, you know, Corey ends up in the hospital with some kind of pneumonia for three days or something. and wouldn't we have egg on our faces?

No, I don't think so. We're talking about somebody processes something. It's like a thing with men too, right? It's like, that's a cliche now. What? Men are bad at being sick. We can't suffer it silently. Yeah.

Why do you think that is? I think moms are who developed. I think no one can suffer it silently except moms. And so moms say it about their husbands, but they say men because they're not around a lot of non-mom women. Dude, non-mom women are just as fucking and stuff. It's only moms who can do sick. Only moms.

I mean, I think like it's maybe just a parenting thing. And I was just telling Aaron before we started, I was talking about Corey. Corey used to say he liked to be sick because it gave him an excuse to not do shit, right? Right. But I brought that up to him recently and he was like, well, you know, I always said that before I had a baby. Because babies don't give a shit how sick you are. Or hungover. Or hungover, yes.

And Amber, like, works during the day as a teacher, and Cho's got the baby. She back at work? Probably not this week. But, like, still, generally, he's got the baby during the day. And, you know, so if he's sick, he's still got to do baby shit because babies don't care. So he's just getting his first taste of that. I'm saying I think that that's a lesson that every parent learns, whether it's the mom or the dad. I mean, unless you're in one of those, like, old school setups or old school relationships,

where like the dad literally has nothing to do with the baby because that's woman's work or whatever. If you're living in the, you know, the 50s or Clay County, then maybe. But otherwise, I don't know. Because I was good. I think that most, you know. Parents have to deal with it. Right. And I think that girl, I agree with you that women who aren't parents, just like dudes aren't, I don't think they're good.

I wouldn't say Katie, if she hears this, she's going to vehemently deny this. But I don't think Katie's overly good at being sick. she gets pretty pitiful and everything to this day, even with kids. Yeah. If I'm around, but if I wasn't around, she just takes care of it. She would just do it. But if I'm around, she's like, like, she's been sick this week, and she's mostly been in the bed, which is fine with me.

And I'm, you know. I think it's just like, if you're sick, if you have someone that you do feel comfortable, like relying on and then also being vocally like whiny to, you're going to do it. And you are Corey's daddy slash boyfriend. And I'm like, I'm making a joke, but I'm kind of being for real. Because like, all right, if you want to talk about men in general, you want to talk about Cho or both? Both. All right.

So men in general and like that whole thing we're talking about, I think you're right that parents just have to deal with it. But I do think that moms hear their husbands deal with it and something clicks in them where they're like, yeah, I was sick last. You have this because I had it last week. And it just feels like they're always like annoyed at their husbands. And I think that's where that cliche comes from. But I don't think anyone deals with sick being great, and anyone who has someone to whine to will. Yeah.

Because I've had it. Right. Every girl I've dated, not just anti. Pitiful, vocally, dramatic. Fever 102, I may not make it through the winter. Right. We should discuss what to do with my things. So what about Cho?

Oh, he's full of shit And what I mean by that I'm not saying he's not sick But like I like being sick No, you don't No you don't No one likes being sick Yeah, well what he's

Like, I kind of got it I haven't been wearing my cans I know you don't like him but I do So I'm putting him on anyway Oh I'm taking mine off Corder's not here Uh So

What were we saying? Oh, what he meant was like He was like He was saying if he's If he's normal If he's tip top shape and he don't get anything done productive or anything like that, he hates himself for it.

He feels like a worthless piece of shit. But if he's sick, he's like, well, of course I didn't get anything done. I've been sick, which I kind of get. Like, do you not feel, is your sense of self-worth at all related to your sense of productivity? Because mine is like directly one-to-one tied to it. It's like the number one thing. I don't know if it's my number one thing, but definitely it's there. I totally get that.

but his ability as a salesman to present a logic attached to what it is he's trying to present has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. In fact, I think it sort of belies my point. Do I use that word correctly? It proves my point about him being full of shit. He's trying to find the good in it, which is something I respect about him. But he doesn't like it. Right.

That's not liking it. Yeah. Saying that I have found a positive aspect of this last three days that I've had is not liking the last three days that you've had. If you're actually sick, you hate it. If you don't hate it, you're not fucking sick. There's been plenty of times in my life where like, when I was in high school, I didn't want to go to school, junior high, I didn't want to go to school. She took my temp on a whim.

Most of the times it's normal. Every once in a while, I felt fine, but it was high. That's not really being sick, but I didn't have to go to school that day. You see what I'm getting that? I love that day. Right. Why? I wasn't sick.

Right. I just got to pretend to be. So my argument is like, I don't think he or anyone else likes being sick. that's an aspect of being sick that he's found the positive in, which is a good thing to do. It's a great way to live your life. Yeah. But I don't think he likes it. Do you see what I'm saying?

Yeah. So, like, I don't think, I think him being miserable is like everyone else. We're all miserable when we're sick. Yeah, my whole family's been sick recently except for me. And sometimes I've, I've had instances where I survived that, where I came out the other side of it without ever catching it. But I'm always just waiting for the hammer to drop. Do you have the grass is greener thing?

though I know no one likes being sick. I know no one likes being sick. There's times where Andy's sick and I'm not and I'm like, I wish I could just lay in that fucking bed. But then when you do it, you're just like, it sucks. Okay. Right, yeah, right. Because if you're the one that isn't sick, you've got to like do shit.

You know, I had to go to this. We were out of everything because we got back from Tennessee. We had no milk or eggs or any of that shit. So I had to go to the grocery store on New Year's Eve, which is like, you know. Was it empty? No, it was packed. Because people, people were prepping for like their party. and shit that night.

I mean, the parking lot was full. It was, in that, that shit stresses me out and drives me crazy. But, you know, I had to do it because Katie was sick. And so, like, that type of thing, yes, you're sitting there like, this fucking bullshit. But, you know, whatever. It's not. And then, but I still don't want to get, I know I've got, like, you know, I'll get sick right before I've got, like, a show or something like that. Like, something that I need to do or particularly long day or whatever is when it'll hit me.

But I hope it don't hit me at all. Sometimes I make it through. What's great is when you're not that sick. Yeah. Especially if, like, people had it and it hit them hard, and then you can pretend. And I also think, going back to the broad thing, that's really what we're being accused of by women. Like, we're being accused of pretending to be sicker than we are. Oh, dude, Katie has never.

I could be, like, literally in need of an ambulance. And Katie would be, like, really. Yeah. Like, every type. She's never, I mean, she has never genuinely believed any of my, it took her probably years to, to truly believe that, like, I had double vision and needed, like, surgical correction for my eyes and shit. She thought I was just, like, making it up, or she acts like I'm making it up, or like I'm overstating everything. Yep. Like, always.

They're also, they're turned off by it, so I think it's their natural inclination to argue with it. Right. Like, I do think, and I don't, it may be society built into them, maybe it's, like, animal times, but it's like, they want us to be. tough and strong and all that. So, like, when we display weakness... She should have picked a different one. Sure. Well, but maybe that's it with her, though.

It's like, you're strong in different ways. Like, this guy can't bench press my house, but he's going to get shit done. Yeah. Here he is, not getting shit done. Bad eyes? Right. That's not your thing. Come on.

Dude. I thought before about, like, when I was going through all that shit with my eyes and whatnot, I was like, man, if I had been born, like, 200 years ago or more, like, I'd just be cast into the streets, like, just to beg for it. Like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be able to do shit. I mean, I'd have to wear it. Yeah, because the only way I could have fixed it without surgery, fixed it, is I would, I almost had to just wear an eye patch all the time.

Like, dang. So you would have been a badass. Right. I can't pull an eyepatch off. You could have 200 years ago. Or, maybe, yeah, but. Tell people riddles and shit. But I guess 200 years ago.

You'd have made a badass court jester with an iPad. Maybe, well, 200 years ago is maybe not far enough because I think, Three, the one-eyed clown, will now entertain us with his farts. I think they had glasses like for near-sightedness. And you don't have that? No, I do have that. I have both. That's what I'm saying.

It's like one spot? What do you mean both? No, I've been nearsighted my whole life. Okay. Currently, I do not have double vision because I was finally able to get it corrected. Sorry, you meant both near and double. I thought you meant near and far. No, no, no, no.

Near and double. And so like, when. when I had not yet fixed it surgically, if I didn't have my glasses on, so I had near-sided and double-vision, and it's pretty, it's not like horrific near-sitiveness, but it's pretty, I know this doesn't mean anything to you, but it's like negative 4.5, which is like, not great, but not good either. I love that I've never even, no, there were numbers. So anyway, if I, before I had the surgery, if I had my glasses off, like, I think, I genuinely

believe I might have qualified as legally blind, like, without my glasses on, because, like, I couldn't, everything was blurry and there was two of it. So like, I mean, I couldn't see, I couldn't make shit out. Like, it was hugely disorienting. And I thought, like, if I lived in the past before they had corrective lenses, I just would have been like with the lepers and shit. See, I've thought about that a lot. I have asthma as a kid. I would have died. Yeah. Except that some people don't think asthma existed until like modern industrial, you know what I'm saying, like smog and fucking all this. And other people were like, nah, them kids died. Just died. So they So they didn't know what it was.

So sometimes I'm like, well, I'd have died 200 years ago, or I wouldn't have had asthma holding me back, would have been a golden god. I would take either of those outcomes. Right here, right now, everyone, I'm saying it 200 years ago, put me back. It's easy for a white man to say. What about everything else about it? Yeah, you're right. Like, dude, the past don't hit.

That's the other thing, too, that talking about, I thought a lot about what space I would have occupied in the past. Like, I had a bit about this briefly right before we got shut down for COVID and shit. Born into the same class you're born into? Yes, that's what I was going to say. Like, I realized once while watching fucking Bridgerton with Katie, right, that like people love these shows and you watch these shows and you pick, you sort of, if you put yourself in them at all, like, what would I do in the situation?

Or whatever, whatever. But like, you think you would be part of these characters and narratives and storylines that they show on these shows, which is always like nobility and upper class people. when in reality you'd be a filthmonger peddling in the stuff I mean most of us I would be like I don't take me cabbage me lord I need me cabbage you know that like that's who I would be right and so I would have been one picking a fight with a night and getting killed and there was no any kind of upward mobility or nothing like that back then it didn't matter you're after plus not to mention my eye problems like I just would have been fucked it could have been a pirate

dude absolutely what kind of pirate is blind a blind pirate You said you could have worn an eye patch. I could take care of the parrot, but not the near-sightedness, though. I have to wear eye-patch and like a fucking monocle. They would have kept you around and tell them riddles. That's the ultimate 1800s combination right here. I patch and monocle. Told them riddles, dude.

I bet you'd been fire at riddles. They'd have kept you around. But, yeah, I don't know. You don't think you'd have been fire at riddles. If I needed to be, I guess I could have come up with some riddles. I think you would have been a great pirate, dude. Well, I appreciate that. That means a lot.

Definitely. And they had mobility. They did. sideways. I'd have to give my butt up, I'm assuming. That was part of it, right? Yeah, a butt pirate. Well, I mean, just, you know, I don't know, it just seems like that was, I mean, they did a lot of, like, raping, didn't they? They did. Yeah, I didn't necessarily consider you to be one of the victims, but I guess the alternative is also a hairy thing to consider. So, let's move on. When I watch those shows, and I don't, that's why. I've never been able to get over that. I've never been able to see myself in them. I don't know when it stopped. I'm sure when I was eight, I wasn't like, actually, the class I was born in.

to. But at some point, I got over it. Game of Thrones has always been the one exception. And I think partially because it did have a few people, you know, who were figuring out ways to go beyond their means, you know. Varus? Varus was one of them. What about, uh, Littlefinger? Blackwater. I forget everyone's name. The Onion Nut, Davos, Seaworth. Not Seaworth. Something of Blackwater was his night name because he was never in. Bron. Brone of the Blackwater. That dude was just good at fighting and just like, you know, tell everybody, I'll, yeah, I'll fight for him. you if you pay me more.

Right. I got hit for me, you know? Yeah, did you know very, I'm sure you probably do know this, but all of it's been a while. And as you could tell, I don't remember a lot. Well, almost all of those characters and storylines and everything in that whole show. I mean, I say the show, it's based on the books, obviously. George R. Martin for the books. Almost all that shit was based on real stuff, right?

But the biggest source is probably the War of the Roses, right? That's where he caught a lot of that familial political fighting and shit that goes on in the show. but like I was going to say, Varus, oh, we talked about this, kind of. I didn't bring up Varus, I don't think, but we talked about Unix in China and whatnot,

yeah, and not just in China, it was, so anyway, never mind, I forgot we talked about it. But, like,

how everybody else thinks he's, like, shady and crafty and conniving and that type of thing, those were, like, the real stereotypes of these court eunuchs, like, back in the day. Like,

and they, and some of them were, like, master manipulators who rose to the top and got the emperor, got the emperor's ear, ear and all that stuff. So like, you know, by that, like there were people like Varus in real life, like in China specifically and probably elsewhere. I always wanted this

to be a bit and I couldn't figure it out. It happens on the internet, but you just reminded me it happens in real life too. We're like, the way those things get created, those stereotypes is like we all get kind of known by our assholes or like whatever, whoever's representing your group in the most negative, loudest way. I mean, Redneck certainly understand that. Of course. rural southerners at least. I think everybody understands it. And then it happens on the internet now all the time

where it's like the algorithm pushes the loudest and the brashest. And then if you've never experienced this thing, and it can be anything. I mean, you see it now generationally. It's like, all these Gen Z kids do fill in the blank. And then whatever the old person says, it's just what the algorithm showed them, you know.

They're just on the internet, you know, whatever. Hating cops dying their hair purple being gay. It's like, well, that's clearly what you like because it shows you what you like. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, like, what percentage of them you think do have purple hair? I think a small percentage. Yeah, right.

You think most of them are like just basically like we were when we were that age. Yeah, John's friends are... Different musical interests and whatnot. Yes, it's literally what I was going to say is John's friends are riding around in 20-year-old Ford pickup trucks with big-ass belt buckles, saying things they're not supposed to say and cut off T-shirts. They're just listening to friends. Frankly, you know what, Gen Z is a little gay, gayer country music. Okay, but you're talking about Morgan County, right?

Morgan County, Clay Can't, they don't, I mean, those places don't change. You think in L.A., the high school kids, late teenagers, whatever, are the same as they were 20 years ago? Because I bet they're not. But L.A.'s, that's L.A.'s thing is changing. They're no different in the sense of they're trying very hard to be different. They're not like lazier or... That's what I'm getting at. is it's always like these words that are moral judgments.

They're not morally worse. That's all I mean. Do you know that apparently middle school age kids, at least you maybe a little older now, they're like extremely into crocs, like almost everybody wears crocs, to the point that like my son's middle school had to ban crocs. It's like, I don't, I don't. I didn't know they were very end. I said the same thing.

I was like, I don't get that. And, you know, Katie was like, ah, because it's like wearing a sandal and they don't allow sandals either and I was like I don't know it's closed toe I mean my school didn't allow sandals did your school allow sandals because ours definitely did not but we dipped in PE class of course we could wear sandals what we dipped too but we couldn't well dipping's cool sandals are gay for one thing so like that's why what is the lot what is even the law I'm pretty sure maybe I'm wrong about it's it's some fetish freak like we couldn't make him girls take him sandals off I can't handle it maybe I'm wrong but I it's something about open toe I think like

That don't hit for some reason. It's got to be sexual. That's the only thing I can think of. Well, I know, for example, even after school, after our school on the football team, you couldn't wear sandals in the weight room. Well, that's because you get your fucking toe crouched. I know that. But I don't know what the, I don't know, but what, look, I'm pretty sure it was a rule at my school, and I know what's a rule at my son's school, because we were just talking about it yesterday. And they didn't tell you, nobody.

And you don't ask why? Because you're like, whatever, I'd rather just tell my kid he can't wear sanders and talk to them. Oh, he wasn't even mad. Their grandma bought them some crocs, and he didn't, he was like, ah, whatever. And I said, I thought everybody liked crox. And he was like, we ain't even allowed to have crocs at my school, and that was the end of it. I was just like, huh? And then I was asked Katie by, I was like, that's weird.

She was like, no, it's like a sandal. And they don't allow sandals either. And that was the end of the whole thing. I think it's that I'm so wired to be like, everything's bullshit. Why can't they wear, like, what? Maybe it's considered unhygienic or something? Like a health code type thing? Do kids have really smelly feet?

Do kids have really smelly feet? Is that a thing? You got all these little like trash babies walking in there with bare feet and stuff? Maybe. I can see how that don't hit. Yeah, I don't want to see kids' feet. Oh, that's what it is. Literally, I don't want to see that. Shit, what was I going to say?

Something about, oh, you're talking about, y'all didn't have any kind of dress coat or nothing because we had a little bit. They banned. Yeah, they ban trench coats. They ban baggy pants, right? racist, sure. At the same time, they also banned Dixie Outfitter's stuff, the Confederate flag branded. The Confederate flag was branded Lord banned at some point. Yeah. Trenchcoats, and I remember this kid, War I once, you know, kind of like a free speech thing, but also we were all like, oh, he might kill us. You know, he's super into like Rob Zombie. On that note, I've thought

before having kids is this, because I texted you, we went to this Thanksgiving thing with a bunch of improv comedy people and their children. Most of these kids around the same age, same age is my elementary middle school. And there's a bunch of kids and they're all at the kids table. Have a dinner. And I walked by and I heard these kids talking to each other and like

laughing and joking and in high spirits about and the subject matter was like what they would do if a school shooter showed up in their school. And they're like, I'd dive in the closet. I'd do this, whatever, and they're all like all smiles laughing about, and I was like, this is so fucked up. And, and, you know, two of those kids are mine. They fucking broke my heart.

I mean, I think, but also I get emails, dude, I get emails at least once a semester, if not multiple times where there's some kind of, so far, thank God, false alarm about like a gun violence thing in Burbank schools happens all the fucking time. So it's like in your face all the time and it's awful. And I've thought before, like, you know, we didn't have that when we were, I used to have a, I had a, briefly had a line on stage about it's like, I never worried about getting shot when I went to school. And I went to school with a bunch of dudes who exclusively talked about the things that they shot that weekend, right? Like, there were guns in the parking lot. Everybody had hunting rifles and stuff, and I never worried about getting shot. These kids today, like that type of thing.

Kids these days won't leave their guns in the parking lot. But like, but like, then I really thought about it. And like at my school, I don't think we processed it. I don't think we got freaked out or nothing. But like at my school, I remember like there was a time where like you had to have a see-through or mesh backpack. Did y'all do that? You had to have a see-through or mesh backpack. I remember the phenomenon.

I know people blank, I'm not saying it isn't racist at times, but like the rationale for the baggy pants thing ostensibly was that you can hide a gun in there. And that's why the trench coats and whatnot. The trench coats was post-columbine. This was all post-columbine. I'm saying all this was in response to column-by.

Like there were things that happened in schools, even in places like Clay County, some of the most remote schools in this. country, they reached, these measures reached there and it was a thing. But we were like, no infringements upon the Second Amendment, though. Nowhere. Well, no, that was way before anybody even was suggesting that. They're like, well, we'll start with clear backpacks and that'll be, it'll be fine. You say queer backpacks? Might as well have. That's what they thought, I guess. No, you're right. Nothing, like limiting, you know, any kind of gun control never even got brought up,

I feel like. But I'm just saying that shit was a thing. But it didn't, it wasn't as you ubiquitous or pervasive as it is now, and I feel like we kind of just, I don't know how you feel about it. I feel like we kind of just shrugged it off or something. Like we didn't process it. Because in my head, I think about it. I'm like, we never worried about school shootings. But then I think about that. And I'm like, I mean, it was kind of in our face though, even back then. Like for a while, it was a big thing. It was a big deal when that kid wore that trench coat. Like, we were all talking about it. Yeah. I remember like, I wouldn't say I was buddies with him. One day I was walking down the hall and he screamed at me,

look, it's Tom Green. He was a very funny guy. This was my first interaction with him and I just, you know, Tom Green used to do that, my bum is on. Of course, yeah. So I turned in, my bum is on the locker. My bum was on the locker and I think he couldn't believe that I knew what he was referencing or that I would talk to him or

whatever because I was a jock and we kind of became buddies. I remember like defending the kid when other people were like, I already had a gun. And I was like, no, we didn't. Like he's just a goofball who's like, thinks this is his stand, you know, like his mom got him a cool trench coat and he can't fucking wear it because of this policy, blah, blah, blah, right? Anyway, I just remember, like, kids being like, I could see him

being a school shooter, you know, he does get picked on sometimes, too, you know what I mean? So I know we were aware of it, but like you said, I think we were just accepted. I mean, I think that's, even if kids are raging against the thing because they don't like the rule, they're just sort of like, this is how the world is. And, dude, three or four days after you sent that text, no, it would been longer than that because I think this was closer to Christmas. My nephews and niece were doing the same thing. It was, since John Robert

was involved, it was a lot less joky, joky, and more boisterous. You ain't keeping me in no classroom. I'm going out the back door. I don't care what the rule is. I'll be in my truck and home before they ever even figure out where I'm at. Or I'll go get my gun, you know, which that's not healthy, but

I do hope he runs. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Shit's wild. I wanted to ask you something. Probably a dumb question. Oh, and just real quick, my niece said that she would have to go get her backpack because it has her money in it.

She's 11. So I was like, sweetie, you leave your money. You just leave. You go wherever you're told or you run. Is she like, but it's $16. Well, she's like, well, I told her, I said, whatever you have in there, I'll double it. If that ever happens and you leave it, you leave it and I'll double it. And then she goes, well, I guess I'm going to put $1,000 in my backpack then.

I was like, okay Fair, take a picture of it Right It's so fun Just a side note you made me think of Like we on our trip to Tennessee Staying at Grandma's house and stuff The boys watch for the first time

The Price is Right Right? Okay Now first of all, let me just say that like Did you watch it because our buddy was on it? No, hell I forgot that even happened No, it's you know, it's grandma's house You're there on a weekday during the daytime

Like the Price is Right is on Like, of course it is. But they'd never seen it before because they're always in school. And when they're not in school, I don't be having the prices right on the TV because I'm not a mammall, right? But anyway, but, you know, I always loved that show. Speaking of staying home sick from school, whatever, it's a hallmark of our childhoods, I feel like. But anyway, I was just saying it's funny. It's not all surprising, but it's funny how, like, comically terrible they are.

In your kids? Yes, at knowing what anything cost. you know what I mean? Like, it'll be like, did they even truly get the concept of the game with online shopping? Or did that even make them more into it, maybe?

I don't know. It seemed like, it seemed like they got it. It's just like they were just so off base with every guest. But really, the truth is, I have no room to talk. I mean, every both I was way,

I kept my, you know, like so many times I'd look at Kay and be like, goddamn Joe Biden because something would be so much more expensive than I thought it should be. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like, and I did that repeatedly because it kept happening to me because I was so far off. But yeah, I just kept like... But, I mean, I've been very open for about how stupid I am about money and how much things cost. And it's, because it's like people think that's a rich person thing,

which, I mean, like an arrested development. It's a banana. How much could it cost? Or $12 or whatever, that line? There's money, always money in the banana stand. Yeah, that's the banana line. Maybe it's a gallon of milk. It's whatever.

Anyway, it's like a thing. It's a cliche. Rich people don't know how much anything costs, right? Sure. But, like, I'm fucking, you know, If you don't buy it, how would you know? Poor white trash, and I don't know what shit costs and never have. I mean, I guess I should at this point, but I still very much don't because I'm as bad at prices right as my sons are.

Like if it's not. I don't know, dude, Katie knows how much everything. Because she'd be looking. She want to buy it. Yeah, but it's just, I mean, I guess you're right. She's also resale stuff. Yeah. That requires you to have market knowledge.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Okay, you don't know how much anything costs. Do you know the. general concepts that were touched upon by, say, Nate Bergotsie in his last comedy special? I don't think I watched his last special. What about the one before that? Probably. I think so. You see what I'm saying? It's like, that might be why Katie knows it. Because she's like, me selling stuff. I thought you were saying he had a bit about

pricing or something. No, no, no. I'm saying, like, you know stuff about stuff you're supposed to know stuff about. Right. And I just, you know, Katie be shopping and she'd be selling. She'd be doing both them things. Katie do be shopping. Shout out our buddy Andy who was on the prices, right? And I think won. That's what Corey said, wasn't it? They won. Well, I went and checked out his Instagram and stuff. It looks like from the way he was posting,

they were celebrating a win, which is rad. I'd get smoked on there. And I was thinking, like, Corey, of course, because he's Corey. We were talking about our friend Andy, been on there and winning. I was like, show, I bet you think. Because also, I would never go to a taping

because the way my brain works, I'd be like there is zero percent chance that they're bringing me on that stage. It's a lottery. To even get on the show is a lottery. They just pull you down from the audience, right? So, like, I don't know, 300 people go and they pull down 12. I always assume the producers like.

They do. Hand-picked. They do, but you don't know if you've been picked or not. The way they line them all up on the way. This is what I've always heard. I've never been. But I've always heard they line them all up on the way into the taping. And they have all these producers and stuff that sort of walk through.

You know how people make all these like shirts that say, like, we love you, Drew and shit like that on it or whatever? whatever, you know, or like inside jokes like the other day, it said, I love Adam, not that Adam, which is apparently a reference to the director of Price's right, is named Adam Sandler, but they always clarify it not that Adam Sandler. So it was like, so it's like in jokes for shit like that. People do stuff like that because the producers walk around back there. They look for that type of thing or people who just look interesting or whatever. Then they go over and talk to them.

And if they hit in somewhere or whatever, then they put them on a list and they, drop from that list and that's who they called down. But even knowing all that, I've always been like, there's no way. There's no way I would ever get, you know, picked. If you've got to, what, if you're talking about a one percent chance, less than one percent chance of something, I'm not the guy who hits a less than one percent chance of a thing other than my career existing, I guess, but, which is a pretty big one. But Corey, made it out of poverty. But Corey, okay, well, with little things, all right. But anyway, but I asked Corey, I'm talking about like, Price is right. I had the worst fucking love.

Yeah. Sitting in fucking Burbank having grown up in Clay County, Tennessee with a pillhead. Bill Burr's company. Yeah, right. Yeah, I'm a real sad sack down on my luck loser. I know what you mean. It's like gamey shit. But Corey is the opposite. Yeah. And I asked him.

Stuck in Chickamauga. I was like, always wins at the casino. Yeah. I was like, I bet you think not only would you get called up. up there, but that you just run rough shot over the whole thing all the way to the showcase and win that too, right? And he's like, no doubt in my mind. Absolutely, 100%. Right. And I wasn't surprised by that answer, but while watching the show and realizing how bad I was at it, I was like, no, he fucking wouldn't. Because he's also, he all, I know he also don't hit that type of thing.

There's no way he knows what stuff costs. Because me and him have talked about it. Like, we've talked about how he's also not good at knowing what stuff costs. He just agrees with you, first of all. Okay, well, fair enough. All right. Again. There's a theme today that I want you to understand. He just says what hits. So I can go two ways on it. One is like, I feel like it is part of his thing, like almost on purpose not to know what stuff costs. Yes. It requires engagement on a level he doesn't want to deal with. He lets Amber handle stuff. He thinks it hits to not know what stuff costs. For aforementioned, it's a rich people thing reasons. Like, that's a thing that flossers do. Right. Right. Is they don't care what

things cost. It's been a while since I've watched the show, so I may only be remembering the showcases. Now, the showcases are like cruises, jet skis, hot tubs, cars, vacations, yeah. Before that, is it like everyday items, or it's like... That too. It's both. It's a big mixture. But not everyday items like milk.

Oh, yeah. Well, I don't know about, like, milk, but like the other day... Like a microwave, one of them was a jar of cheese whiz. He definitely knows what that cost. Okay, but do you? How much a jar of cheese was cost? Oh, I have no idea. You got a guess? I know that.

559. What the fuck? I was like... Was that close? I was like 249 or whatever. Oh, when you were in high school, it's 249. And then they were like, they said it was 599. Dude.

And that's what I... Am I good at it? I just came... I'm good at it. What the fuck? And that was a time where I was like, goddamn Joe Biden, what the fuck? That little...

Does Katie do all the grocery shopping? No, I do. Mostly. You just don't pay attention. No, she got so mad at me once because like squash, we're out of season. And I just wanted some squash and I didn't know that and I didn't look at the price. And I came back to you like, you spent $30 on squash right? Because I bought like not a crazy amount, but it was out of season. So it was priced very high per pound and I just didn't pay any attention

or didn't notice. So I mean, yeah. I think I would do that though too because I know about what cheese whiz costs because I'm a big salsa man and I like getting different types. So I was pricing it essentially the same as salsa in my head. I just couldn't believe a jar of cheese was is six fucking dollars. Joe Biden blew me away. Oh, this is, this made me laugh the other day. This is a huge hard left term. We'll just do the line and we'll get right back into prices, right groceries. Somebody said, if Trump really wanted to just really make all his haters mad, he should just do a tour of Gaza. Slapp and I did that stickers on everything. Joe Biden and I did that sticker. All right, let's get back to it. Yeah, I don't think I would be good

at that at all. I think I just, I was, I knew that. I knew that one. Like, it's like, oh, salsa. It's like 549. There'd be others I would know. Like, I got a good brain. I would remember the things that I knew. But dude, I don't own a microwave or a toaster. I have no idea how much these things cost. Do you know what I mean? Like, the appliances in my kitchen are a burkey water filter. I don't know how much that costs because as soon as I saw it, I had a fucking aneurysm and knew I'd already lost that argument and moved on before I got a devourable. I got a divorce because I don't know if you know this, but fluoride'll clog your third eye tray. We got a chuckle from the back there.

What other appliances do I have? I got a bottle heater. We got that used. You know what I mean? Like, I don't, so I don't know how much a bottle warmer costs because we got ours off Facebook marketplace for 20 bucks. You know what I mean? We got a swing that's like regularly, I think, $400 for $100.

bucks. What about like a C-Dew jet ski, a new one? Brand new? That was another one, yeah, brand-new. What's the, you got to give me the C-C's? I mean, buddy, I don't remember. That's a huge deal. The motor and how long it is.

Yeah, well, I couldn't tell you, so I guess we could just move on. That's going to be tough for me, too. I think I'd go, I think it'd be like you would cheese with. I used to be able to price one of them. Uh-huh. But things have changed. Yeah, I used to know. I think they're at, I think they're 18 grand.

This one, it may have a very small motor, whatever. I guessed like 12 and it was like 8 I blew me away You're telling me I can afford a jet ski I could not believe it But that's what I gotta find a place That's what I'm saying it goes both ways It's fucking weird anyway

I had nothing I wanted to ask you something Stupid sixth grader type question But I still don't know that Yes we should buy jet skis Right Jet skis do hit I'm a big fan

They serve no purpose Which is part of what it's for me I think part of the reason they're so cheap is like worse than boats, you get almost nothing out of them and then they break. And you can't like go to Catalina Island. You might be able to go to Catalina Island,

but you can't. Right. Like you can do a lap and then you got to work on it. No, they're like, they're just to be rad for a little bit. To do what they do it. That's all they're for. They don't do anything else. I'm going to get real ignorant.

But they are rad. While being close to not being ignorant. To do what they do, they have to put a certain kind of motor on and be affordable. They have to put a certain kind of motor on them. I don't remember if it's inboard or outboard or all. any of those words, that motor is just hard to maintain. Yeah. That's always been the thing. And, and, like, you could make it not be a shitty motor, and then it would be 30 grand. Sorry, go ahead.

Can cops commandeer vehicles in real life? Common Deer. That's what they always say in the movies. Oh, like, I'm commandeering this vehicle. Well, sure, they have a gun and a badge. What are you going to do to stop them? But, like, legally. Well, they have, they also have qualified immunity. So, they're in the line of duty. You couldn't, like, you could be like, you shouldn't have done that, and they could be like, yeah, you're right. Well, I'm going to sue you. Well, I have qualified immunity.

So sure. Okay. Is there a statute that says they're allowed to do that? Are they supposed to not do that? I don't think I've ever, I don't remember ever hearing of that. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but like. Well, don't a lot of people say that, like, they really shouldn't be chasing people anyway in these, like, high-speed situations.

There's a lot of states that's like don't chase. Like, motorcycles in most states, you don't chase them. Because it just ends up, it's dangerous for everybody. Yeah. Like all the other innocent people have nothing to do with it. It's dangerous for them too. Somebody dies. I was in one in San Francisco.

Did I tell you about San Francisco? I was not in it, but like, you know, saw one. It happened among me. I saw one once. This guy come by me and he swerved in front of me. He was like, what the fuck? And then he got over on the shoulder because we were hitting traffic. Man, this guy.

Jesus. And then I realized he had a flat tire. I was like, damn, he's going really fast. He didn't even though has a flat. I wonder if he's being chased. Like that's the only reason to drive on a flat tire, especially fast, and then 12 cars. I looked in the mirror and there were 12 cop cars behind us.

It was pretty crazy. Did you tell me about San Francisco? I mean, you're talking about your car getting broken into? Yeah, okay. It's been a while. So, okay, I thought I had, sorry. I don't know if we talked about it on here or not, but. Okay.

So you said, just don't tell my dad, everybody. That's my only thing. I don't want him to know he was right about that city. Sure, I know. That's what I said when you told me. It's like I spent the whole time in San Francisco because I was there the weekend before you doing shows. And I spent the whole time walking around being like, Trey, stop being like that. Because in my head, because I've still got a little bit like small town, my me ma'am in me when it comes to that type of thing.

Not Burbank because I've lived here for years, but like big cities. I get murdered in the city. Exactly. I can't help it. So like I would, I'd be walking around. Also, walking around fucking fishermen's wharf, by the way. Yeah. That's where Cobbs is.

And like, that's the touristy part of the city. I'm saying I'm in San Francisco and I'm just walking around the whole time like just be like, God, I hope I don't get poop thrown at me or something. You know, I hope I don't get mugged all this shit. And then the other half of my brain being like, Trey, seriously, it's going to be fine. That's all fearmongering bullshit get over, whatever. And nothing happened to me. Then a week later you go in the first day you're there, you send us a picture of your car having been broken into. And it's like, well, you know, so I guess there's a reason.

Yeah. They say all that down on it. But what was I going to say about, oh, cops, you. said you could say like, oh, you, you shouldn't have done that. And they're like, nah. I know that you saw, I think, because Mark threaded it, those St. Louis cops who crashed their cruiser into a gay bar and then got out and arrested the owners of said gay bar for getting mad at them for doing that. So they crashed in the side of the building. The owners came out, were like, what the fuck, dude? Which is what anyone would say. And the cops were like,

you know, he's resisting. Yeah, whatever. and put a knee in his back or whatever and took him to jail for like getting pissed at them for destroying his property. They were both like rookie cops who were still on their probationary period and were some reason in the same car together, which seems to me like that shouldn't ever happen.

You'd think that the cop like that would be paired with a veteran or something, but it was two rookie cops on probation. They didn't drug test them or anything like that somehow, even though if you've seen the video, they don't swerve to avoid a fucking deer or anything like that. They just go off the road and just run right into the side of this building. So I would think you might want to check to sit.

Mark pointed out that like if you wreck a warehouse or if you wreck a forklift in a warehouse, you're going to be like forcibly drug tested and discipline and perhaps removed or whatever. But like you could be a cop who crashes a car into a building and, you know, they don't none of that. So it's all pretty raving. I mean, yeah, it's almost as if they exist in some weird level of total imputiny. Right. Impunity. Yeah, whatever. Yeah.

I wanted to mix it with mutiny, I think. You did. Yeah. I think that they get away with everything. I think that it's bad for our culture. And I think that people who are pro-cop are so defensive slash proud of the cops that they're genuinely completely blinded

into this cult level because even that, like, if you genuinely loved cops, that should make you mad. Right. It should make you mad that two asshole cops were acting like assholes. That's what I always thought about. But it's so like us and versus them with like people who are pro cop versus anti-cop that they're like, circle the wagons. I mean, dude, someone in my family, who's a correctional officer, and even that, tangentially. Like, he's not a CEO in the room.

He does something else at the prison, you know. It's like, well, it's like a brother. You know, we got each other's back. I'm like, how can you not see that that's wrong? That it can't be that way. By default, like the whole description of what they do, serve, protect. It's not about you. It's about everyone else.

It's bad. It's real gross. So, generally speaking, when another, if another comedian's in the news or something, I mean, especially if I know them, but even if I don't know them, but they just, I have respect for them or whatever. for doing, for being like, crossing the line or having an offensive joke or whatever, like I'm generally speaking never going to, like,

really go after that person for that, for saying a joke that went too far or something like that. I'm probably always going to at least half-ass kind of defend it or be like, well, listen, they hit for maybe they shouldn't have said that or whatever and just be kind of non-committal about it and move on. But anytime any kind of comedian has been, been like rapy or whatever like, you know, like did something on

the level of shooting a whole bunch of unarmed black people and their dogs and all this other shit like cops like anytime any other committee has done something that's like on that level most comics generally are like, well, like, you know, I can't fuck with that. And then they you know, they don't go to bat form anymore

is what I'm saying. I'm just talking about the whole like brotherhood fraternity idea of it. I'm saying like... Well, you can understand on a human level. That's what I mean, but you but you'd think there would be a line, right? There is. It's thin and blue. Right, exactly. But for like us, and I think most other people

in a similar situation, like, there's a line that it's like if another comic goes beyond that line, you're like, well, that's, fuck, I'm not down. I'm not going to defend that. But cops don't seem to have that line is what I'm saying. That's one of many differences. I mean, let's start with our jokes don't keep society in line.

Sure. Don't they drew? So like, we just, shouldn't have the same standards of them, but even as you're pointing out, if we did, we would be a little bit better at it, it seems to me and to us. I think that, what was I going to say? Oh, hell, I don't know. Oh, well, because they also have, you know, there's like the, we do get kept in line a

little bit, though, as comics, too. Like, there is a little bit of, like, don't go after comics, and if you do, it'll hurt your career. Yeah, for sure, I know. And so they have that there, backed up by violence. definitely a part of it. Like, I mean, I'm not going to lie. Right. But it's very different jobs, number one. Right. Number two, there are, there's like, there's almost a split sometimes in comedy because some guys will go super hard after people and try to make that their career. There's no

equivalent of that that I know of with the police. Right. They get killed, I think. Right. Or they never become cops in the first place. They're not, you know, attracted to, to that type of existence or whatever. It's very strange. Yeah. Oh, the other thing I was going to say is, they, think they're the army. In the army. Yeah, but the army's like generally way better about a lot of that type of shit. I know. Rules of engagement and that type of thing.

Because actually being who cops think they are is extremely difficult and requires a lot of discipline. And it does require brotherhood, I think. And it is super fucked up when somebody does something crazy in the army and then they close ranks. It's super fucked up. There's a lot of sexual abuse. Obviously, we know that sometimes there's like friendly fire or whatever. Pat Tillman thing. And then they all keep quiet.

Yeah. But there you go, you guys literally thought you were going to die. Right. Cops think that they have to be in the, like my, this person in my family who's a correctional officer, and not really. He does something else at the prison. But he, like, you know, they have teachers, they have therapists, they have medical personnel. You see what I'm saying? Yeah.

It's like, you're not saving any cop's life by being part of the brotherhood. You circling the wagons about what CNN said about Derek Chauvin. isn't back in the blue in a way that's going to help the blue. It's just going to make America worse. Do you see what I'm saying? Yeah. Like it's a huge difference. Whereas if you're in a fucking war zone,

it still sometimes has gross results, but I understand how you end up there. It's like, no, you don't know what we've been through. When a cop says that, I'm like, I think I do most of the time. Sometimes not. If you were on like the sexual assault force, yeah, you saw some shit.

You answered a call where a kid was, okay, been through some shit I don't understand. But like mostly, guys in my small town, you're just driving around breaking up high school parties. And because of that, you're defending Derek Chauvin. That's so ridiculous. On that note, I don't know if you heard, but New York City, they massively increased the amount of cops they have in the subway system

because I guess they got a subway crime problem or whatever. So like... The crime, by the way, is jumping the turnstiles. Hang on. You're getting ahead of me. So a subway crime problem ostensibly. up to the police presence. They didn't hire more police. They just gave them overtime pay if you,

hey, you take a subway shift or whatever, which means that the overtime pay for the NYPD went from $4 million in 2022 to $155 million this year, right? Massive increase resulted in a 2% drop in violent crime, but a 300% increase in, fair evasion arrest, right? The 300% increase in fair evasions amounted to something like 2,000 additional

fare evasions, which if each one of those is around $3 a pop or whatever, it means they save the city $6,000 and spent $155 million. Spent $155 million on it. So like, and then people, they had all these, the article I read about it. Can you afford rent in New York for $6,000 a month? Is there a single apartment in the city? Like in Manhattan? Yeah, I don't know.

Probably not. But they're... Maybe. Maybe. It'd be close, I think. But there were, the article I read about it, there was all these interviews with people who ride New Yorkers ride the subway every day and stuff. And they were saying, they were like, they're like, they just stand by the turnstiles

on their phones, you know, just like waiting on somebody to jump it and then doing something. It's like, they're not, they don't do anything else. They're not like actually on the trains or among the, whatever, like policing shit on the platforms and stuff. they just wait for people to jump the things like and like, you know, say they did something or whatever. And so, yeah. Because that's what bad culture does. It naturally gets worse.

Because if the culture becomes this like weird, we will defend the worst thing you've ever seen on video because, well, who's that going to attract? And who's that going to get rid of? And then you got New Yorkers going there being like, look at these fat fuck cops on their phone. Well, now people don't want to be cops except for asshole. You see what I'm saying? It's just getting worse. It's not good. No.

Sorry to be such a bummer in the beginning of the new year. It's all good. Do you make resolutions? Do I or did I? Either. I do. I'm not against them. I get why some people are like, okay, so on January 1st, you're going to magically be this different person.

But it's like, well, I think it's important to mark time and, you know what I mean? Like reflect, et cetera, et cetera. I do think I'm, there's a thing I've been needing to do for my health for a little while as it relates to my diet. it. I took like a blood test. I've got like some allergies and stuff and I need to like be more disillains about that. And I'm going to start tomorrow hilariously because we got back yesterday and my fridge is empty and, you know, it's going to take like some actual dedication. So like I couldn't just go to the restaurant last night and do it. You know what I'm saying? So like yeah, I'm into it. I'm a no wheat, which beer is going to be the impossible one. But like the way I do them now and I don't

if this is age or just like I like giving myself breaks but look I'm gonna have a beer every once in a while it's all good it doesn't mean I didn't keep it as long as I don't continue to drink the beers they don't have um they ain't figured out other alternative beers they don't like they definitely alternative everything they can remove the gluten from the wheat but it's like having be wheat beer without wheat now you just it's not beer anymore it's like sake or wine or something you know what I mean yeah yeah making it with that is what makes it beer in the first place I think think that's a big part of it yeah yeah i never made not never but i don't know for at least 10 years now i haven't fucked with resolutions because i was like well i mean we all know how this is going to go anyway

you know sure i'm not even going to lie to myself about it anymore you know just setting yourself up to make give your give yourself something else to be mad at yourself over eventually i mean unless you actually did the thing that's also an option i guess but not for me generally speaking at least it seems seems to have been the case historically so i just stopped Make one or not. Oh, you stopped him because of it. I stopped it years ago is what I'm saying. And this year is no different.

Yeah. I had a question. I did try to, I mean, I don't know, like, I went on a bit of a food bender over the holidays as a man as want to do, right? And this happens almost every year. And I was like, okay, I'm going to get it. I'm going to get back on track with that, you know, after New Year's or whatever, which I've done so far, you know, 48 hours in or whatever.

I've done that. But I'm saying that, I'm just, I try generally to not be a fucking trash monster when it comes to what I'm eating anyway. And if I fall off the wagon a little bit, just getting back on track, it happens to be at New Year's, but I don't look at that as like a New Year's resolution or anything. Well, it's like the holidays are over. Right. I had a reset. I was back home, made it impossible to eat right. But now, back home in Tennessee, I mean.

So now I don't, how do like. They do it? I mean, they don't. Look at the stats. My in-laws, though, like, and I love them. They're great. I genuinely love them. But my father-in-law, for example, I had a whole bit about how he's a real man,

and I'm not, all of which is true, he can fucking fix anything, takes care of his family, strong, silent type, yada, yada, whatever. And he's, but he's like, he's, he's not skinny, but he's thin. He's not at all, he's a thin guy pushing 70, about my height-ish. and just, dude, there ain't a green vegetable within 200 yards of their goddamn house, man, unless you count like canned green beans. It's like, I get it. I grew up in Clay County.

Like, I've had jokes about it. Like, when I was a kid, that was what my diet was, and I was a little fat fuck. But it was like, I have a line right now. It's like, I didn't know you could get vegetables not in a can until I was 28 years old, right? Like, that type of shit. But like, in Wayne County, it still be like that. Like, there's no, I was there for, for like, on. day for whatever and I was like I got to find something that isn't true and they just literally didn't

have nothing I mean nothing yeah like it's all just like you know velvita and cream of mushroom soup based casseroles and stuff everything is beige or whatever or like Cisco type you know frozen stuff like cookie doughs and shit like that and just baloney barbeckees so a lot of this stuff hits hard but like it's just but and I'm sitting there like y'all this is all y'all ever eat and Like, how do you not feel terrible all the fucking time? Well, broadly, a lot of them are fat and do feel terrible, I think. Right. And then, yes.

Diabetes. Manual labor. Right. I mean, it's just like if you're out fixing shit all day long at your job and or at home, I mean, dude, my dad's retired. He does carpentry all the time. That's how my father knows. He wakes up and takes off. My father loves the same way.

Like, he wakes up and leave. He sits in the house makes him miserable. And by the way, he's starting to do it more. He's getting on YouTube. I got a bit about it right now. Algorithm, not going well. I hope he keeps doing it. I want him to work.

I want him to die working. Not anytime soon, but I want him to because otherwise something's going to poison his brain and or he'll get fat. You know what I'm saying? Right. But I also think, I'm going to get some flack for this maybe,

not flack like from our fans. I just mean like this is, I have no evidence for this. I think some of that's a little overstated, man. I think you just get used to it I mean dude we used to drink I think about how much we used to drink dog

think about what we did on the road I guess you can just get used to pretty much anything I guess you can't people are in prison right now my brother's in prison right now and calls me and cracks jokes I'm like dude you're in a room that you've been in for years now

and you're cracking jokes to me right so like you think he wouldn't kill to eat some beige food right but I mean I know what you're saying and also again I love the stats. I love beige food.

And also look at the stats. Right. They do be dying. They do be fat. I love base food. It's just after three, four days of that, I'm like, God, damn, I feel terrible. I'm fucking, my guts are all fucked up. Right.

You get used to. I feel, yeah, I guess you adjust it. All right. Well, we do need to get out of here. Let me get a quick one. Let me get a quick one. Have you been viral for something, like, fun and dumb? Is it usually or always been at least a little political?

I think so This is Like viral viral I've gotten some I've done things that weren't political That did like all right before Did it have new people Like engaging with you?

Oh I don't know So this has happened to me This weekend It's just a dumb thing I posted My top five worst friends of the year Yeah And I think they're meaner

Yeah Than if it was political or maybe they're not meaner, but with its politics, it's like, oh, this dude hates me because he disagrees with me. I got haters just, I'm like, dude, this is a goofy thing I posted it. Like, people are making fun of my son's name. So it was like wild to me to be like, oh, if you go viral, you get hate, it literally doesn't matter what it's for.

It's not like, it's not just like, oh, how do Biden's balls taste? It's like, this is just a goofy thing, and they're saying wild shit to me. Why'd you name your son after a dog? I think that's 100%. Because his grandfather was a basset hound. The case. Yeah. I think that's just part and parcel

of fucking with the internet at all, in my opinion. That was it. That was my only note that I wanted to bring up. All right. Well, sorry I waited to the very end for that to happen.
