Starting point is 00:00:00 And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because used to you, you like had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.
Starting point is 00:00:19 It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now, skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people, people across the 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?
Starting point is 00:00:42 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
Starting point is 00:01:02 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,
Starting point is 00:01:21 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 subscriptions 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.
Starting point is 00:01:56 I'll learn Spanish and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one I'd said it before, but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, 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 that in response to? 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.
Starting point is 00:02:45 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.

Starting point is 00:03:09 They're the. And he was like, you kind of look Korean in that picture. And we started laughing. And then we started like, holy shit. You know, his name is Cho. He blacks rice. The gas station lady thinks he's, Chinese or something.
Starting point is 00:03:27 She ching chong china every day. The right quote to everybody. The gas station lady. Oh, Mr. Ching Chong Chino. Welcome back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:36 They're the liberal rednecks they like cornbread, but sex they care way too much but don't give a fun. They're the liberal rednecks
Starting point is 00:03:48 that makes some people upset, but they got three big old dicks that you can suck. What's up? Here we are. Hey, everybody. We're supposed to have another guest for you this week, and that sort of fell through at the last second.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Thales, an interesting word. Yeah. I don't know if I want to tell them, because I don't want it to buy it. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, good call. We'll just wait, and it'll hit for y'all when it does happen. But so we're kind of scrambling here because we had a plan for this episode, and then the, you know, then that happened. So you said before, I do have things to talk about.
Starting point is 00:04:21 I do. I do, too. I do, too. Yeah, right. I know what are we going to do with other than the idea of what to talk. But I also have things to talk about, and he's got stuff to talk about. I have one thing. Well, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:04:30 It's jury duty related, ain't it? It is. Not the show. We can get into that if you want to. I talked about this a little bit on gravy, baby, so I apologize to the dual listeners. But I think this one is, you know, worth addressing in both platforms or whatever. You know, as you guys know, like the fact that I have a lot of agree, it's something I'm proud of, but it's also like I've sort of always felt like it was a big waste of time and money. And then me and Andy, you.
Starting point is 00:04:55 got to help that family keep their house about a year and a half ago, and that was super cool. Now another thing's happened where I'm like totally worth it. I'd go back and do it all again just for this. This fan hit me up on Instagram and DM me, and we had a message before and they were like, hey, how do I get out of jury duty? Right. And I was like, all right, I can tell you how. I can tell you like the ways to do it and the ways to do it without seeming like you're trying to do it. But I would recommend that if you can do it.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Do it. It could be interesting. You know, if you end up in a boring situation, you can blame me. If it's this weird dry case, and he was like, well, it's going to be criminal. And I'm like, well, it won't go to trial unless it's juicy. There's no criminal trial going to go to trial unless it's a little bit like, I don't know what happened. It might be a shoplifting case, but it's going to be a little bit like, holy shit, what's going on. And then I didn't hear from him. And I don't know if he was sequestered or whatever, but just like, all right, maybe I will. and then he gets back to me. And I'll have to pull my phone out to make sure I get some of the details correct. And I don't want to get too bogged down on the details because I don't want to drag the podcast.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And also, I feel like we can talk about it and he can tell me now that it's over. See, I was going to ask you, you're the lawyer because I was going to say, like, is he going to tell you this? No. Right. After it's over, there may be like a jurisdictional rule against it wherever he's at, but I can't think of a constitutional reason. Okay. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Because you can't talk about it during it because it. it's like you could affect the trial. Well, the trial's over. Right. Okay. So this gentleman, uh, we'll call him Kyle. Okay. I hope his name is Kyle.
Starting point is 00:06:34 It is. I won't do the whole name. Uh, Kyle D. Uh, hey dude. Took your advice and just leaned into the jury duty process. I wound up setting on a jury trial for a guy who had been charged with fourth degree attempted burglary, second degree assault, and militia. destruction. Through the trial we learned that the guy's brother that made all these accusations
Starting point is 00:06:59 was a sergeant in the Baltimore County Police Department. The cops that came on the day of the incident wouldn't press charges because the stuff that was alleged to have happened were all extremely minor and the video showed the cop to be the aggressor. There were a few other things that led to the conclusion that he might be full of shit on that day. But dude goes to his commissioner, gets charges filed. And he wants to... won't let it go. So, hold, real quick,
Starting point is 00:07:26 cops showed up and didn't press charges, and wouldn't press charges that were attempting to be pressed by a fellow cop of theirs. So, that dude must really not hit, I would imagine.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Like, the fucking blue line and the brotherhood and all this shit, if those, if they were on his brother's side instead of him, you're like,
Starting point is 00:07:44 no, you were being an asshole. Something I just thought of. What are these actually a good cop? And they hated. And they, that actually, that actually also would
Starting point is 00:07:53 totally makes sense. So apparently, by the way, for everybody that don't know, because I was one of them, fourth degree burglary is when you're associated with the intent to commit a burglary. So I think it's when you get caught before it actually happens. Like you get caught outside the building, but you's about to go in. You'd probably, that would be attempted if you got caught outside of the buildings. You'd have to go in. It's you go in.
Starting point is 00:08:17 And then so the way the most people think burglary is stealing, and it often is, burglary is trespassing the intent to commit a crime. Okay. And in a lot of places with the intent to commit a felony. So you can get burglary if you go in to beat somebody's ass. Okay. Right. It's trespassing with a malicious intent.
Starting point is 00:08:37 So this dude attempted, I guess, anyway. What is a B&E if you're... Breaking and entering? If you're just doing it like dying cook style. Just to break and enter, but still anything? Yeah. Trespassing. Oh, got you.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Unless you damage something, I guess. on the way in. And also a lot of places don't have B&A. Okay. Like a lot of jurisdictions just have trespassing burglary and damage of property. What is that? What am I blanking on that one? Oh my God. It just breaks out of
Starting point is 00:09:05 shit. Vandalism? Vandalism. Okay. Both of those. I only know because I did that when I was 14. Right. So those three crimes really do in fact make B&E obsolete. Yeah. But some people have
Starting point is 00:09:18 you know, states be making their law separate from each other back in the 1800s, and now here we are. All right, so here's what went down, apparently. This was a family situation where the parents have to sell their home, and one of the brothers is living there because they can't afford it anymore or whatever. So it's already, like, sad. And there's a lot of contention in the family about all that. So the brothers are fighting because one brother's living there, and he hadn't been paying
Starting point is 00:09:42 rent. But that's the guy who gets arrested or whatever. Or maybe, I don't know if he was paying rent or not, but there's some tension. Everyone has to move out. He moves most of his stuff out. goes back to get the rest of his stuff. Cop brother has locked all the doors. It's like, I set the rest of your stuff out on the curb.
Starting point is 00:09:59 You're done here. And he's like, you didn't get all my stuff out. This isn't your house. And then what the cop brother said happened was he forced his way in, knocked a door off the hinges, and in the process, cut me, which is where you get the, I forgot the charges already. Assault, secondary assault. And the militia's destruction was the door.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Throughout the trial, this video comes out where it's like he said he cut his hand. He got cut. They had this cut on his arm. In the video, after the door was supposedly broken, you can see there's no cut. He's like, the guy who's right me, he's like, he clearly did that himself. And also he said he knocked the door off the hinges. It was a sliding glass door. There's no hinges.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Also, his stuff was inside there. So it's like he's going in. Also, he lived there. He wasn't on the lease, but neither was the other brother. Well, I'm starting to doubt he's like actually a good cop now. you know, after. Oh, yeah, he's not. He's a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Yeah. Well, now I'm back to my original take on it, which is like, he must be a colossal piece of shit. Right. That's what I said on Gravy Baby. Yeah. Like, imagine DJ was giving me shit because I was like, dude, like, who lies to other cops? And he's like, all the cops. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:11:10 And I was like, no, they tell it. My opinion was like, no, they tell each other the truth. Yeah. Hey, can we just fuck my brother up? Yeah. So, he must be a huge bitch, right? So, the point. Part that I really was excited about that he was telling me was him, an old hippie dude,
Starting point is 00:11:26 and two black women were like not guilty. Yep. And everyone else were like, well, they were like, maybe he lied because he was so upset. Like, in other words, he's a liar. Yeah. But this dude still burglarized. Otherwise, why would they have charged him? Right.
Starting point is 00:11:41 That's how fucked up America is. Yeah. And part of the reason I say to people who listen to this podcast is, if you get a chance to do it, because you've got to be. got to be those people. To quote Anonymous Kyle D. We, hold on, I got to find it. I don't want to fuck it up.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Me, some old hippie dude and two black chicks, 12 angry men the fuck out of that deliberation. Nice. They just kept them in there and we're like, no. This is bullshit and you know it. And got to fucking not funny. Wouldn't it be fun? Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And honestly, you made me feel bad enough for it. And righteously, by the way, I'm not mad at you. You should have made me feel bad for it, and I do. When I got out of jury duty, and now I very much wish that I had stayed. Granted, it was going to affect an upcoming trip to L.A., which would have sucked, but still. Yeah, I knew that that had come up before, because I remember, like, a lot of things law-related. You were the first person ever brought that to my attention.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I couldn't remember if it was on here or skews or what, but I guess it was on here when he was, Corey was getting out of jury duty. But I remember you saying, like, you know, no, you, like, people that get out of jury duty by talking about how they, uh, you know, hate economic racism and cops and this system and all that stuff. It's like those people really are some of the people who should most be on juries. For sure. For like obvious reasons. And when you said that, I was like, oh, right. I mean, yeah. Well, it also, this is a generality, but think about who's not getting out of jury duty because they think it's their duty to America. Right. They ought to lean patriotic and believe
Starting point is 00:13:16 cops. Right. Because think about who wants to be in a courthouse versus who doesn't. Yeah, exactly. Think about who's in there. It's like, this whole place makes me itchy. Fuck this. Not we need you, dog.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Right. Well, and I, uh, because I, I did jury duty, but I'm doing Eric, I did what I had, I got called for jury duty during COVID. So all I had to do was wake up every morning for one week and call this phone number. And when you call the number, they either say, come to the courthouse or don't. And all five days, they said, you don't need to come. And that's all I had to do. And that's the only time I've ever called.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I'd like to point something out for everybody that's listening. I know to a lot of you all here and like, oh, all you had to do was wake up early in the morning and make a phone call. That does sound easy. But to Trey Crowder, that's the seventh circle of hell. So I still applaud you. It is still, yeah. That is very true. But it, that's infinitely, you know, that's still like the best possible outcome for, you know, going through with jury duty.
Starting point is 00:14:11 You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you don't want what you're after. Yeah, right. But, I mean, and also as a comedian, I think it's like, it would be very interesting. Well, speaking of interesting and jury duty, I told you before we started, this is, I mean, it is related, but it's also very kind of show businessy.
Starting point is 00:14:28 But it was a popular show. There's a show on Amazon called, called Jury Duty. Right. Before we move on, I just want to. Good job, Kyle. Yeah, good job, Kyle. Thank you, well, Red Nation. And, buddy.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I heard all this hype about it and stuff. I finally decided to check it out, and it was wild, but the stuff that fascinated me the most about it. it was thinking about like the logistics of actually pulling it off so for anybody don't know it's like yeah i don't really know explain it it's a fully i say scripted because they you can't script it because of the nature of it but they scripted as much as possible it's like got professional producers directors crew writers and a full cast of actors right all making a tv show about jury this is what he got called in for and they kept telling him no because they knew he was a comic or they just knew i wouldn't hit yeah i mean
Starting point is 00:15:15 That's what happens with most of my auditions. But anyway, that, but full, full professional, full, full professional crew, except for one guy who thinks he is on an actual legitimate jury.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I've got to watch this. So like, and the way they got, the way they got, that was like they, so what's the, what's the movie? Truman Show.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Truman Show. It is. It is. It is. He don't, and he, so anyway, I found out about it initially by
Starting point is 00:15:45 hearing the director talk about it on fly on the wall, David Spaden, Dana Carbys podcast, which is good. His name's Jake Zamansky, and he went through the whole process of how they made that show, and it was wild, and he was talking about how, like, by the end of it, they were all really, really, really worried about telling the dude that it had been fake because they were like, because they had grown to love this dude, because he is a real likable guy. They'd all grown to love this dude, and they were like, he's going to hate us and feel betrayed because we've Truman showed his ass and all this stuff. and they were really worried about.
Starting point is 00:16:16 We didn't think of that until halfway through. Well, that's kind of how he put it. He was like, they got like halfway through it, and they started to feel like, this is kind of fucked up. I don't buy it. We didn't think of a non-showbiz person as human until we got to know them.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And then, God, damn, right. Yeah, pretty much. But it's so, hold up. In terms of them not thinking of it, am I wrong that that is, if not illegal in terms of, like, a law? It's against standard ethical practices in all, like, psychology, sociology, sociology.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Yeah, it has to be. The way they got it was like the Stanford Prison Experiment and all that stuff. Right. The way they got around it legally, I know, because they cover this at the end, is he, that's something he didn't read. They told him, he was, he knew that he was being filmed for, but he was told it was for a documentary about serving on jury duty in America or whatever. So he knew that it was like a production, but he thought it was all real people. and it was a real case and all that stuff. Well, they're not psychologists.
Starting point is 00:17:18 To be clear, I wasn't accusing them of going against an ethical practice that they're not held to. I'm saying, I don't know if I buy that it never came up. The fact that someone wrote whatever they wrote that he had to sign, I just don't know if I buy. Halfway through, we were like, I wonder if he's going to hate this. I think that had to have come up before. But he, you know, it ended up hitting for him just fine. He rolled with it. But the thing that was crazy to me was, I didn't even think till it was over realizing that, like, those actors,
Starting point is 00:17:43 There's no takes. There's no cuts. There's none of that, really. Like, they had to show up, because of the nature of what the thing was and what this guy thinks, they had to show up every day and, like, go to jury duty. Yeah. And stay in character all day long. And they had to do that for, like, two or three straight weeks.
Starting point is 00:18:02 And this one lady who played the bailiff almost fucked it up because she called another actor by her real name, by her actor name. And the dude heard it. And he was like, what? Her name's Trisha or whatever. And the lady was like, oh, I. was talking about other Christina or whatever and like it and he played it off but like and one of these dudes is his whole character's being like shortly autisticy i mean like he's like one of the
Starting point is 00:18:27 actors that one of them's james marston but he's playing himself he's like yeah i was an ex-man's pretty cool like that type of thing yeah it was drake and uh herc fox is in it he's not he almost got too famous yep right during it I feel out of it. When I saw him, I was like, if this guy's seen, if he's seen Parks and Rec, this is fucked. And they,
Starting point is 00:18:50 Res Dogs, he's so good in Res Dogs. Jake, James Sambansky, the director, said something about how like Kirk Fox, oh, Corey, you just, that's what it was. I don't think this made the cut of the show, but they said the dude was talking about shows he liked and stuff
Starting point is 00:19:04 and said he liked Parks and Rec a lot. And like, Kirk Fox is sitting at the end of the table beside him as he's saying this, whatever. And they were like, oh, fuck, you know, but he didn't, but he didn't figure it out or put it together. That was the other thing, too, is they thought there were so many times, because every now and then the dude would be like, he'd be like, I mean, the craziest stuff just keeps happening.
Starting point is 00:19:26 It's like, it's wild. It's wild how crazy all this is. They have to golden retriever. They did. I mean, he's very, oh, they definitely did it on purpose. And he is very much. He's got won't sue us. He's one of those human golden retriever type dudes for sure.
Starting point is 00:19:39 But anyway, you brought up jury duty and I wanted to say that. But I'm, by the way, I'm like bringing all that up because I'm just like, I don't know if I buy that they just figured it out halfway through. I'm still like in a fucked up way really glad they did it. I'm going to go watch this. Yeah, it's interesting. I wasn't trying to be like moral high ground. I just don't buy that they never thought of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:59 I'm still kind of glad they made it. But I buy that the people in charge didn't, maybe they thought of it, but they didn't give a shit. Right. Right. Yeah. Definitely didn't. So, another show biz related thing I wanted to ask you all, and I'm sorry if I'm, you know, sometimes I, you know, sometimes I. I essentially live under rocks and am oblivious to everything happening.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Your other homes up your butt, so it's nice to go back forth. Yep, yeah, two nice places. Summertime. A rock. A far place. Summertime, nice cool rock, wintertime. At my one butt. That's how I do it.
Starting point is 00:20:28 They go back and forth. But that was great. So I don't know if everyone found this out, remembers this, currently knows this. I don't know if you're going to be like, yeah, no shit, Trey. But I just either found out or was reminded the other day. that Marlon Brando's famous Indian representative, Sachine Littlefeather, right? We all know the famous moment from the Oscars. He sends her out there to reject his trophy and protest of Hollywood's treatment of Native Americans,
Starting point is 00:20:59 and she got booed and cheered at the same time and all this stuff. Famous Hollywood moment. Turns out she was a pretendian. Did y'all know that? Yes. No, Craig. I just found it out the other day, too. and in the most embarrassing way possible,
Starting point is 00:21:15 me and my mom were having a fucking argument, right? And it was about the Oscars or something. And she brought up that whole thing. And she's like, you know, that wasn't even a real Indian. And I was like, no, bitch, you're thinking of Iron Eyes Cody. And she was like, no, I promise you. And I was like, blah, blah. And I looked it up and I had to go, God damn it, mom.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Okay, you understand that this happens never, but you are correct. That is rough. That's like the worst case scenario you can find it up. But, Ironize Cody, the crying Indian from the famous commercial. I had known about him for years. You also brought that up on here in the last few months. Yeah, because I found out, I had heard that, so I went back and looked it up, and the details of it were funny to me.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Like, the way he's like, I'm just an old Indian. Like, he never admitted it or anything. I want to know the details about her. Yeah. Let me say that my version of this, I just heard Pretendian for the first time. Did you make that up? No, when I read it, that did hit. It's on her Wikipedia page.
Starting point is 00:22:10 She says she was outed as being a pretendian, so no, I did not make it up. Well, that's good. That is solid wordplay. Yeah. Pretendian over here. So, yeah, her sisters, a Navajo author interviewed her sisters, Little Feather sisters, Rosalind Cruz and Trudy Orlando, or Landy, who both told the author that their family has zero Native American ancestry. They state that their father from Oxnard out here was of Mexican
Starting point is 00:22:45 descent with no tribal ties, and they believed that she fabricated a native identity because she thought it was more prestigious to be Native American than to be Hispanic. So she lied to everybody, and then that's how he got fooled. And that's like exactly what Iron Ice Cup did, too, except instead of Hispanic, it was spaghetti. He was like, he was so old. He didn't want to be, which is way funny. He didn't want to be a spaghetti person, yeah, which, you know, so he turned himself into an Indian. instead. So Brandon...
Starting point is 00:23:10 It's what John Wayne was mad about the whole time, and we've been, like, really disrespecting him. Fuck John Wayne. Yeah. Yes. He tried to punch her. I know, he did. I don't know if you remember that.
Starting point is 00:23:20 I do. That's always been one of the funniest parts about it to me is that John Wayne was being physically restrained backstage, because it's like, it's just funny to think of, because of who he is, that he's like, it's an Indian. You know, he just, like, he's all red. You know what I mean? Like, he just can't help it, but to try to kill an Indian when he says one, I rewatched the bird cage
Starting point is 00:23:40 I've had a little bit ago. Do you never went away? I just rewatch, dude, Nathan Lane is... Oh my God, yes. But he kind of... But he kind of... What does it?
Starting point is 00:23:51 Like, it's so... John Woll... Kind of walks. That's what I'm saying. Well, and that's what fucking... Oh, dude. Robin said, I almost feel like that was unscriptive. Robin goes, that's actually pretty close.
Starting point is 00:24:02 And he, like, cracks up. Yeah, I think... I agree with you. I think the same... Corey, did you say you just rewatched it, too? Yeah. That's why. Y'all talking about it might of...
Starting point is 00:24:09 Everybody... Everybody's going to rewatch the bird cage. It got put on Max. It's from the 90s. So it's a little... But, like, I feel like... In a great way. I feel like overall...
Starting point is 00:24:23 The message of it or whatever is... Yeah, very positive. It's very positive. Also, you got to remember that it was a play first. A French play. And there's parts of it... There's, like, one character in particular where you're like, so this was a horrible person for her whole life,
Starting point is 00:24:38 and then the mom. Yeah. And then now she's on the team. It's like, yeah, but it's a play. So this is, right,
Starting point is 00:24:43 right. It's not meant to be completely believable. It's also a French play. You know, Gene Hackman plays like a Christian conservative senator. Yeah. And it's funny, like,
Starting point is 00:24:51 also that, it's like, 30 years ago, he was like supposed to be the most extreme version of them. I think. I got the impression, you know, it was like a hardcore Christian conservative 30 years ago.
Starting point is 00:25:03 And it's like, this dude would be called a rhino, you know, you know what to be? He's like, his brain works and he, you know, uses the right words and stuff. The Federalist Society has really shit up their own butt in America. But, dude, Nathan fucking Lane. Unreal.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Absolutely. Did he win awards? Roy's in that movie. I mean, I don't. He should have. He should have been nominated. And also, dude, fuck that old nude, hot take, I'm aware, but goddamn Robin Williams. Unreal.
Starting point is 00:25:33 That performance in that movie, he was playing a gay guy in 1992, and it is understood. It is nuanced. It's not fucking flamboyant and stereotypical or none of that shit. He absolutely seems like... Where is Nathan on your life? Yeah, I know, but you've got to have that. But his name is gay.
Starting point is 00:25:50 You know, like... He won the SAG Award. Wait, I didn't know anything like that was good for that movie. So, he's not a pretending. Bro, when that movie came out, this is so funny in retrospect, because this is how stuff used to be. You know, like people like Corey's mom
Starting point is 00:26:04 used to be like, Liberacee ain't gay. You know? That was a great impersonation. I sound just like her. But this was back in that era. So when that movie comes out, there's a famous clip. It's from Oprah. You know, a lot of people, Oprah don't hit for them, right?
Starting point is 00:26:21 And it's a famous thing from Oprah where she, because it's also the height of Oprah's powers, you know, early 90s. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane go on Oprah to promote this movie, this big gay movie they got coming out. And Oprah, like, pointedly tries to get Nathan Lane to out himself on her show. And Robin Williams, like, saves the day. Robin Williams, like, is his bro and slides in there. It deflects the whole thing. It's a little kid, Dodd. Absolutely. It's a real cool. It's a great clip because it's like,
Starting point is 00:26:52 it shows Oprah being shitty, Robin Williams being the man. But it's also like, you're in your head, you like, you know, it's just funny that people back then were like, I think he might be gay, you know. And, but, you know, like, no offense. One of the most flamboyal. gay actors of the 90s. Right. Honestly, I just thought he was playing him. I saw him on Broadway do, uh,
Starting point is 00:27:16 waiting for Godo or Godot. That's how they were, I've always said, waiting for Godo, but during the play, they were saying Godo. Really? I think it's because they decided, I almost feel like it was a choice
Starting point is 00:27:28 where they decided that this was a religious commentary play, and so we're waiting on God. Anyway, it was him and, um, fuck, why am I mind drawn away? Is it John Goodman? No, John Goodman was...
Starting point is 00:27:41 One person shows up in the play, right? And it's not... It's not Godot, but somebody shows up at the bus stop towards the end? Oh, I don't know. I've never seen it. I think it would play in... Anyway, it was incredible. Bill Irwin? Sure.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Okay. So apparently, circling back to Miss Littlefeather, apparently Robert, Roger Ebert, 20 years before she died in 2004, I mean, she died in 2022, but 18 years years, before she died in 2004. In Marlon Brando's obituary, Roger Ebert wrote an obituary
Starting point is 00:28:14 from Marlon Brando and talked about her, and in that just stated very matter matter of factly, quote, identified as Maria Cruz, an actress who was not an Indian. But then, and so he just put that in there, and I guess everybody
Starting point is 00:28:30 sort of rolled with it. It says he then got a letter, he published a letter he received from her lawyer, which Her lawyer asked him to clarify that she was, in fact, an Indian with a father who was, quote, Yaqui and White Mountain Apache. And the lawyer claimed that Cruz was just her married name. I was wondering about that because it's like, you know, it's tough for a white man to comment on this when he's a little ignorant about it. A lot of Mexicans be Indian.
Starting point is 00:28:59 That's true. But apparently her two sisters. That's an ignorant statement of the way. So, why the Mexicans be Indian. They'd be very Indian. That's why they look, I mean, that's a, well, dude, the only Spaniards are white. Yeah, white, well, you know, they're Italian, though. You're right, they're like, the Mediterranean.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Yeah, Mediterranean. They got the olive. Yeah, there's some of them be olive skin. Some of them is pretty white, though. Yeah, it's a red-headed, I met her red-in-in-a-spaniard once. A lot of, but, yeah, a lot of Mexicans be real Indian. Right. Yeah, but, like, I don't know if it's a different cultural identity or what.
Starting point is 00:29:33 All I'm saying, in this particular case, that woman's two sisters, that all had the same dad. The dad she claimed was an Indian. Her two sisters were like he was not at all a little bit an Indian. So of the many ways Mexicans are like rednecks, some of them claim to be Indian when they're not. Right. That's hilarious. Dude, like, back in the day, if you were an Indian in Texas, you were 20 feet away from being Mexican and vice versa.
Starting point is 00:29:58 You know what I'm saying? Right. Well, I'm just saying that there are many native peoples who hail from Mexico. Right. And it seems to me like throughout the years in Central America, rather than eradicate most of them, they all fought. So, right. A journalist and academic who studies Native Americans in the U.S. Please tell me that he didn't just look at her and decide.
Starting point is 00:30:24 It's a woman, I think, because it says his name is Dina G. Leo Whitaker, which don't sound Indian to me. So I think it seems to me this is maybe a white professor. The guy and lady who married to eat her. What is he? Ed with the corn before she eats it. Spaghetti wedding person. Yeah, right. Let's hear what Spaghetti Whitaker.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Right. Says that, uh, said that, you know, whilst her work could still be viewed as being valuable, we should be honest about the harm done by pretendians, uh, especially those who managed to fool so many people that they become iconic as she did. She continued, quote,
Starting point is 00:30:58 the stereotype little feather embodied depended on non-native people, not knowing what they were looking at, or knowing what constant. constitutes legitimate American Indian identity. There is a pattern that pretendians follow. They exploit people's lack of knowledge about who American Indian people are by perpetuating ambiguity in a number of ways. Self-identification or even DNA tests obscure the fact that American Indians have not only a cultural relationship to a specific tribe and the United States, but a legal one. Pretendians rarely could name any people they're related to in a native community or in their family tree. They just blatantly lie. Pretendianism is particularly prevalent in entertainment. publishing and academia and also trailer parks in the south. Baptist churches. Yeah, right, exactly. She left those out.
Starting point is 00:31:42 It says harm is caused when resources. You always get left out, dude. Harm is caused when resources and even jobs go to fakes instead of people they were intended for. Yeah, I've heard a similar version of that when it comes to the DNA stuff. Apparently, the way that stuff works, they don't have enough samples. I'm going to say this so stupidly, and I apologize. But there's some truth in what I'm trying to express here. If you take a DNA test and you have Native American in you,
Starting point is 00:32:12 it will just say Asian for most of them, unless it's like a really, really intense, expensive one. Does that make sense? Like, does my pat-paw do the DNA test? No, it's just that their blood type, whatever, the way that they're narrowing that down, it's like the test ain't sensitive enough. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:32:30 It's like, what's the difference between, British, you got British DNA? Okay, I'll just talk about me. I have 25% German and 25% Britain, so German. But, like, to be able to know the difference between those two, you have to, like, have a large example of people with German blood and a large example of people with British blood, because, obviously, at some point in history, they had the same blood. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Does that make sense? Yeah. Like, these are white people. They have to split from each other, live long enough apart from each other, without fucking, to have these differences. And that's happened, clearly, with the different types of Asians and Native Americans, but apparently, like, there's not enough of example, or maybe these fucking 20s. Well, that checks out.
Starting point is 00:33:13 So racist, they don't care to figure it out. No, I mean, I guess it does make sense. Andrew Jackson kind of fucked the DNA sample up. Right. Yeah, I'm a, Joe, have you done one? I'm 52% English, which my last name is English, so that's that. Mine's Welsh. I'm not surprised.
Starting point is 00:33:30 but 52% English and the other 48% is an amalgamation of just every different type of white. White. Every different type of white. No Native American, no black, nothing that hits. Just like, you know, 13 French, 12 German, fucking, you know, some Scottish in there. Mine wasn't surprising. It was like 26% German, 25% Britannic or whatever, and then they narrow it down. And the way mine read, it was like, you have these.
Starting point is 00:34:00 traits so we're pretty sure Scotch Irish. Again, I was just assumed you were like hardcore Scotch Irish. Because if for me, you're a red beard, you've got hot blood, you know, yeah, teeth don't hit, all that stuff. If they ever give us minority status, he'd be a racist right now. So I'm a quarter of that and a quarter plus one German. Yeah, all right. Cho.
Starting point is 00:34:22 So I didn't take one, but I have one, but I haven't taken yet, but Kirby did. As long as your mama wasn't trying to, you know. That's true. and it was mostly Scott's Irish and my favorite part about it was because we got to look at my dad and go see, no Indian. And so now he thinks that Ancestry.com
Starting point is 00:34:40 is a woke mind virus. Was there any Asian? You know, I feel like if there was, I would have remembered because I would have had to have told y'all. Now, or you're hiding it because chose to say, you know, I don't do that. Yeah, but I don't do that one.
Starting point is 00:34:54 You know, he's in Mayan. Secret. Asian man. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure we've talked about it on here before, surely, right? But, yeah, the conspiracy theory is that show is actually a secret Asian of some kind. I know we're talking to talk seriously.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Say what you will about me, but when I don't hit, I tell y'all so that y'all can laugh at how much it was hit. It started, I think. Not that Asians don't hit. The record. Sam? He's implied. It started on an episode of, but we definitely talked about on here, is Bobba shot the podcast because you pulled up a picture show and Tushar was on. And he was like, you kind of look Korean in that picture.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And we started laughing, and then we started like, holy shit. You know, his name is Cho. He blacks rice. The gas station lady thinks he's Chinese or something. She Ching Chong China is every day. The right quote to everybody. The gas station lady. Oh, Mr. Ching Chong China, welcome back.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Yeah. Have I ever told that on here what she actually does to me? Yeah, dude. Okay. I won't do it again. I mean, to do it again. Kind of just said it, didn't we? She...
Starting point is 00:36:00 But for more context, those that don't know, there's this lady at the gas station, and I thought she did it to everybody, because I would go in there, like, alone a lot, because I don't... Like, I go in the gas station at random times, because I'm not a working man, so I'm not in there with a lot of people. And she would go, I would get something, I would pay, and I would go, thank you. And she would go, oh, thank you, change-ta-cha. Like that.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And I like, and I like, he's like, okay, context. It's like, no, you just need to do it. Yeah, right. You just wanted to do. is a thing. Yeah, I did. But anyways, I thought, okay, this is just a thing like,
Starting point is 00:36:34 what was that? Asian people love jokes. I just feel like our theory is holding water. Right. Well, anyways, I thought, like, okay, she just, like, watches Hong Kong fuey, and this is just how she talks, whatever.
Starting point is 00:36:49 But then I went in, and, like, there would be people in front of me. She didn't ching chong chana them at all. Then I got up there, and she ching ching chong chaned me. You know what I mean? So, like,
Starting point is 00:36:57 I don't know what the fuck is going on. It's like a redneck Larry David episode. Right. Is she chink chink chak China and you? Yeah. That was a ching chong China. I've seen it. That was a ching chong china.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Oh, I'm, you know, one of the, we just covered it, I'm one of the whitest types of dude that you can find whiten anywhere. And the fucking manager of the club we started at, or the owner, rather, drunken, lunatic Bobby Jewel, used to make terrorist noises whenever I would come in and call me Muhammad and stuff because he thought I was Iranian or something like that. And it was only funny that he was doing it. Because everyone else was like, what does he do? Yeah. It made no sense. My beard was longer at the time, but still, I'm still super white and I sound like this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:40 But yeah, he called me Muhammad. You look more Mexican than anything. Only with the mustache. With I have the mustache. Yeah, and a tan. Because you do get a little tan when you're out in the sun, which is almost never. You're right. Very, very rarely.
Starting point is 00:37:52 So this happened with Andy's family. I didn't realize, I paid more. for Andy's. I don't remember why. I think because we were trying to do like some medical stuff because you can get some medical information from those, or at least that's part of their sale. And I guess it's harder or it costs more money to do
Starting point is 00:38:09 the mother's bloodline. And you get a full, you get a full range of things when you pay for the basic one in terms of... Yeah, are you talking about like tracking like parentage through the... Yeah, like in the... Haleo or Haleo? I did it.
Starting point is 00:38:25 When I did it with Ancestry years ago, it was like paternal, which is what I wanted to do anyway. But it's just, it's because of like the way marriage and shit works, right, and names and stuff like that, especially as you get further back in time. Right. Well, my point is for about a week and a half, I thought I had found out that Andy had a different dad. Yeah. Because I was looking at it and we had had her brothers before.
Starting point is 00:38:48 And Andy just, you know, that's not how her brain works. Like she's just, she's curious, but not in a way of like, let me compare. She just wouldn't have thought that. And I was looking at him. I'm looking at hers. I'm looking at it. Finally, I was like, I got to talk to Andy about this, and I went to read to, like, make sure I knew what I was saying. And that's when I realized, like, oh, I paid for more information.
Starting point is 00:39:07 They had an incomplete picture. Thank God. So my, they were Indian Indian. That hits. That's it. My grandpa on my mom's side. From India is what I'm trying to say. Hoar banging truck driving, pat-ball, not whiskey ball.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Whiskey ball, not whiskey ball, papaw. Whiskey bowl, pat-ball, yeah. Anyway, he apparently I found out, I think, after he died, again, he drove a truck and stayed fucked up and stuff. And so, you know, did a lot of pork and a lot of horror pork and found out after he had already died that he had like at least one whole other family. Yeah, yeah. Like that type of thing, like up in Indiana, I think it was. And Indiana? Yeah, and my mom, when I found that out, I was like, oh, shit, that's wild.
Starting point is 00:39:56 what's up with them or whatever? And my mom was like, fuck them. I don't want nothing. You know, and my mom, she's not the most stable person. But like,
Starting point is 00:40:05 I thought that was why, like, I don't know, my immediate reaction to that was like, I want to know more about these people. Yeah, I'd like to meet. They didn't do anything wrong.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I'd like to meet these people even. But my mom, though, was like, fuck that. I don't want to know shit about them. You know, I don't,
Starting point is 00:40:21 she basically was like, I'd rather pretend they don't even exist for the whole rest of my life, which is what she has done. But papal clem, dad's dad, had a baby in Italy with a lady he wanted to marry, and Army wouldn't let him. And then he had to come home and the lady, like, fell apart. They didn't both like die and then Ernest him when he wrote a novel about him, dude.
Starting point is 00:40:42 No, she gave that kid up for adoption. Yeah. Fucked off forever. We don't know what happened to her. But the kid. The spaghetti baby? The spaghetti baby. And my papal somehow got in touch with each other via letters.
Starting point is 00:40:54 and his oldest daughter was that way, but only when she was a kid, to be fair to Aunt Connie. But when she was a kid, she would write her letters, but the letters would say shit like, he's my dad, not yours. I think that was my mom's, like, reaction to it, you know, at the time was like, she was like, no, my dad. No, not at all.
Starting point is 00:41:14 She was 40. Yeah, I think Aunt Connie, like, nine around. 30 something. Yeah. Well, you know. Yeah, that's a weird reaction, but it does happen, like, pretty often. I got a spaghetti aunt, Aunt Spaghetti. There you do.
Starting point is 00:41:28 That hits. I want to go see her. Yeah, but I've got nothing to say. Right. I've wrestled this weekend. I would like to talk about that. Oh, yeah. Well, Mike a hit.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Well, it was very fun for those of you that don't know. I was, the Buttercream Dream rather, made his professional wrestling debut. I did get paid, and I got to tell you guys, a genuine sadness fell over me the moment I was sitting there looking at my payoff in a Drake's bar and grill drinking a beer. And at that moment, I realized for the first time of my life that I could no longer go to the Olympics and wrestle. And that was very,
Starting point is 00:42:04 that's sad. That is sad. But, but dude, it was a fucking absolute dream, man. So I do appreciate everybody that came out because there were well-red nation people from like all over the southeast.
Starting point is 00:42:19 And somebody flew in from Washington State to go because they were like, You don't tour anymore, and I wanted to see you wrestle. So there were people making like four and five-hour drives to see it. Did you say Washington State was a four-hour drive? No, no, no. That was a separate thought. Yeah. So someone did fly in from Washington State.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Someone did fly in Washington State. Shout out of that. It does rule. That's almost as heroic as jury did. No, I'm just, I'm impressed that they did that, and I'm happy. No, me too. It was really the opposite of humbling. It made me feel really good about myself, and it was cool.
Starting point is 00:42:53 And I, you know, like, they told me the performance was worth it. I hope that is true. I know. It's such a funny thing. It's like, I know. It's a very him thing, you know. I don't like it when people say it wrong. Well, it is.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I mean, do you're right. People often do, I mean, you're right. A lot of times people, when they say something like, when they're talking about a situation like what you're talking about. Yeah. They'll then say it's like, and it's just such a humbling thing. It's not at all. I disagree. I think you're using the word wrong.
Starting point is 00:43:21 It's not bad to be humbled. Humbold is a positive feeling. But what he said, like, when people are like, oh, going up there and winning that award and having all the hit in this people in the industry I'm in, give me a standing ovation or whatever, like, I found that to be a really humbling experience. And I was humbled some people. You guys are using that word in the context of, like, I've been humbled because I'm not as good as that other wrestler. Like, that other wrestle humbled me because put me on the map.
Starting point is 00:43:48 So what is it different, what does it mean differently in this context? I was so filled with gratitude in that moment that it was a humbling experience. Like to be humble is to be like, no, I'm not really that good. Right. Don't worry. Oh, God. And you say that being humble. Now, the way you just, that.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Not necessarily not that. That is exactly how people use it. Yeah. But is that not like technically incorrect, though? But humility is not, I'm not good. Humility is it's not important to make a big deal out of this or whatever. and a lot of people's reaction to someone making a big deal out of them is, we shouldn't be doing this.
Starting point is 00:44:27 I mean, the word humble means having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own important. Important's own importance. Not skill, importance. Okay, well, guess what? If someone flies from Washington State to see your dumbass wrestle, it makes me feel kind of important, which is the opposite of humbling. And I'm not, I didn't say you were wrong to say you felt the opposite of humbled. I'm saying that sometimes people say they feel humble by those things and they are using it correctly because that happens and they very much feel, ah, you shouldn't have done that.
Starting point is 00:44:57 I will say, all right, like, no, I get that. I don't believe a lot of these celebrities, but that's what they mean. Because a lot of times I'm like, you know, the truth is known. I'm like, why are these people here when I'm about to do a comedy show or something? You feel humbled, right? I'm like, I wouldn't come see me. I can't believe these people are doing this. That's the emotion people are.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I do agree they're lying. A lot of times these are a lot. Well, I'm not going to lie. All right. And I appreciate that about you. I was not trying to correct anybody. Okay. No, but honestly, now that, like, I've actually always been, I'm like, you're using that
Starting point is 00:45:32 word incorrectly, but the way that you just laid it out makes so much sense. And, like, I get it. Internally, they're like, I'm not worth this. You've made me feel unworthy. I think they're lying, though. Yeah. By the way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Well, you know, honestly, though, in that sense, I don't. The first part of me was like, oh, dog, I wouldn't have done that shit. That is you being humbled. Yeah, okay. All right. People think it means like, you know, someone putting you in your place. Right. And it can also mean that, right?
Starting point is 00:46:01 Sure. You think you're very important and someone proves to you that you're not. But it's not about skill. I think a lot of people think it's about that. Like, I got humbled because I'm not good. Being humbled isn't, I don't think I'm good. It's that I'm not important. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Yeah. Okay. That was Jesse, who I know from Instagram. by the way who flew out from Washington State so appreciate you Jesse hell yeah anyways dude um like I was I was nervous
Starting point is 00:46:28 the whole time not just because like I'm doing a new thing which is like obviously very nerve wracking but like I was nervous that like you know this was rural rumble so there were the 30 wrestlers in the rumble and some other wrestlers who weren't in the rumble there's like 40 wrestlers there I was like
Starting point is 00:46:43 the odds of all of these wrestlers being on board with an outsider coming in and doing their shit is not good. I did wonder about that. I wondered if they would look at you as like, you know, a pretendian, but for wrestling. Like Blake Griffin doing standout. Exactly. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Blake Griffin still hits for me, but, you know, but when, in the context of him, if you ask me like, how you think his act is, I'm going to be, if I'm being truthful, I'm like, I mean, probably not great. But if he showed up to one of our shows, I'd want him to do it. Yeah, for sure. I would do, yeah. He seems like a cool dude. Anyway, so, yeah, I wonder how they would react to you.
Starting point is 00:47:18 I did too. And because of that, I was like, okay, Corey, you're going to be extra professional. Like, I showed up three hours before call time, before my call time, because I knew they were going to be there. And like, I helped set up the chairs. I went to the meeting. I took extra bump practice and all this stuff. And also, like, I, because I've been associated with the wrestling business for a while, meaning that Conrad's one of my best friends, I'd hang out with wrestlers a lot. I know how to talk to them. And also, I know the locker room things that you do. And one of those is, and I hear wrestlers talk about this all the time when a new wrestler comes in and they don't shake everybody's hands. Like, you walk in and you shake everybody's hands.
Starting point is 00:47:58 And also, you're not supposed to shake their hand really tight because they work with their hands. You give them a loose, like a loose grip handshake. Well, I went in and hit everybody with the loose grip handshake. So I think all of them were like, oh, well, he at least, he's, you know, learning or he's trying or something like that and again i was i tried to be really coachable that's really cool uh trivia thank you for that yeah yeah if you don't want to hurt their hand that's so cool that's just that's just like cool trivia so it wait you see some some grown man dead fishing a bunch of dude and getting respect for it yeah so yeah so yeah it's a side of respect in this wrist right i know but it's funny like in this one instance
Starting point is 00:48:43 with these very strong masculine men, you need to limp the handshake. They won't respect you. Yeah, that's totally opposite of the standard procedure. Which is what, yeah, they'll at least know that you're green, which like they knew I was green, but I think they appreciated that I was like, oh, they knew I was a fan.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Effort, man, basically. That effort, and that, and I think that really mattered because, and I'm telling you, dude, every single person there, every single wrestler there, I've never been in any artistic endeavor. I've ever been in my life when I've been, because I've been in places with 40 comedians before, festivals, whatnot. I've never been in a more positive atmosphere where everyone was looking out for each other,
Starting point is 00:49:26 where everyone was so gracious with their time to someone like me who was coming into their world. They were fucking stoked for me because they knew I was a fan. Like every single dude at one point during the day came up to me and gave me some version of like, dude you're going to have so much fun man i'm so i'm so pumped for you is like says there anything i can do do you want me to like should i close line you like what do you want and um and it was just fucking awesome and another thing i'm really proud of you know i'll put the tape out later this week for everybody to see it wasn't perfect but guys something that i will like this is up there with if i ever won an emmy i got to hit a fucking stone cold stunner on a motherfucker in a wrestling ring during a live
Starting point is 00:50:08 show and for it being my first stunner. I mean, granted, I've been practicing it since I was eight goddamn years old, but I nailed it. You know what I mean? Trampoline time. It was one of the best weekends of my life. Ten thousand hours of trampoline time, baby. But how do you know
Starting point is 00:50:22 when you get in there when to do it? When to do it? Yeah, exactly. Like the choreography, it's not that is it. Is it jazz? It is like jazz, isn't it? It's a little and new. So how to fucking I'm in there.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Right, yeah. So you're, So your part was like heavily scripted because you're new. Is that how they did? I wouldn't say it was beated out. Like basically and you know, look, what I'm doing now is technically breaking K-Fa, but like, dude, everybody in the business knows. But they didn't want to, they didn't want me to get out. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:55 I want to know. I very much want to know. It's just funny to imagine these dudes who were so great to you and respect you so much because you knew all the tricks and not to do that. And you came in and you took your butt practice. And now you're going to blow it. Yeah, you're right. No, dude, it was, I had bullet points, and I knew my locations, and then basically the dude was like, but here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:51:15 And it was funny because I was talking to all them about the parallels between comedy and wrestling, which at the end of the day, it's all entertainment. Homie said to me, who I want to put over, Rob Killjoy, if y'all don't follow him on Twitter and stuff. Now, now this is generous Corey talking. This is how I'm going to get out of it. This is Corey Forster talking. And the buttercream dream absolutely got his ass whip and fucking hates Rob Killjoy and hopes he dies. How about that? Rob Killjoy was just a peach and he goes, hey man, listen, if you mess up, you're the only one that is going to know that you did.
Starting point is 00:51:53 So just keep going. You know what I mean? And as soon as he said that, I was like, all right, we're good. Yeah. I mean, it's kind of like, you know, stand up is that way unless you really fuck up and point out yourself that you fucked up and make sure everybody. knows you fucked up, which that's what he said. Sometimes people do.
Starting point is 00:52:10 But also like a play, like doing theater and stuff. And I remember like our drama teacher and stuff all said the same thing also because you're so terrified, especially as the teenagers knew that shit of like fucking a lineup or whatever. It's like the people in the audience don't know the script. They don't know the lines. They don't know any of that. You fuck it up.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Just keep going. Just roll with it. You know, you'll figure it out and it'll be fine. So it takes good advice. The only time in stand up where it's not like that, sometimes on a punchline, this has happened to me recently. I'm supposed to say one thing, not the other. That don't hit.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Where it's like there's two things I could have said, and what made it funny is I said, and then I said the unfunny one. I've done that before. Everybody knows. The equivalent of that, I think, is like messing up a move. Everyone knows that you went to stun that guy and you, like, fail. I don't know what the, now. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:52:57 There's, like a few times where it's like, oh, it's obvious that guy messed up. But the beauty was I was supposed to suck. You know what I mean? Yeah. I wasn't supposed to be good. Joe, if you say somebody started shooting on you, what does that mean again? If you're in wrestling and someone starts shooting on you, that means that they go, like, working is like, okay, we're doing a match, we're working, head toss, motherfucker, you're going over here. Shooting is when, like, the person actually gets mad and starts hitting you, for real.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Okay. If you're in school and someone starts shooting on you, that's just too, no good. Yeah, can I play that, uh, voicemail you sent? Yes. Okay. This is a voicemail that he, our buddy, Cassio, Matt Mitchell in Huntsville, Alabama, who's been on the show before and done his and stuff.
Starting point is 00:53:44 He had an old voicemail from show from when we... So to be clear, this is like when we did a show in Huntsville and afterwards you were having that film or something? Okay. Yeah. And... Were you drunk when you love those voicemails? Bro, don't...
Starting point is 00:53:58 Don't ask the question. Like, you would... Give it three seconds. All right. But anyway, so hopefully y'all can hear this. Put it real close. So we had to drop Carl off. He was too big of a quixie's kosher club.
Starting point is 00:54:14 And then they said, well, I'm going to make this far. We're going to walk. So now we're going to help and get help and hell off. And then while we're on top of the 30 fucking vodka drinks that, these waffles and drink ill. And I'm not cute. And so they didn't take him out. What's that.
Starting point is 00:54:35 What's that. What's that. Dude, is he like, I don't know, his shame builds and stuff. It was the end of it. He's like, yeah, the size and I ate waffles, drank milk. Now, I'm going to throw up. So I didn't go home. And so, yeah, I asked that question first because, yeah, I remember him says,
Starting point is 00:54:58 he says in that that Miguel started shooting on us. And I asked him when you sent me that, I was like, who is Carl and Miguel? And he was like, I have no idea. I have no idea. It would be great if Cassio didn't either. Who the fuck is my game? They might be wrestlers for all I know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:19 I want to say something to make a point, but also to commend you, buddy. That whole thing you're talking about of like getting there early, bump practice, the limp thing that you knew. That's the example of what I was trying to like illustrate. that is you being humbled. Right. But that's not, I don't have the skill. That's, this isn't about me.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Yes. When he was saying all that, I had the same thought. I was like, now, see, that's, that's the humbling part of that. But like, but I still feel like using it in that context is different. Because he, again, you know, Leo didn't show up three hours early to the Academy Awards and he'll put up the fucking chairs to do the catering shit like that, which is what he's doing. So much of his life dedicating himself to that. And again, dude, with Leo, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:56:03 He probably didn't humble as asked. Right. It's what you said. Yeah. Why are these people showing up? Right. You've seen me? Little old me.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Little me who, by the way, dedicated his life to this years ago. Countless Howard, that's that feeling that people are trying to describe. You have, you have written CMT about how much you hit. So for that, so for you to feel. Have you ever read that on this podcast? No. So for you to feel that way. because people show up is them humbling.
Starting point is 00:56:35 I'll explode from pure cringing. That's them humbling. I really help I can't even find it. I can find it, dude. I got that shit to save. You want to pull it up right now? No, we got to go. No, we got to go.
Starting point is 00:56:46 I'm sure Aaron's got somebody else coming out. He don't want me to rate it. All right, plug your shit. I will be in Denver, Colorado, the weekend of the 15th and 16th.
