And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion. Because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

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

Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low 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 like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app,

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

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.

crayons yeah yeah dude so fucking stupid we didn't know what autism was then but we might I'd just be shitting on somebody. No, he's too fat. No. 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 that makes some people upset, but they got three big old dicks that you can suck.

You look. you got a little matching, you look like you're about to go backpacking in Australia. I am. Really? No. Oh. Damn. I was excited.

I'm in Radford, Virginia. By the time this comes out, I'll be gone. But I guess I'll plug this. I'm with Trey tonight and Richmond, which is sold out. Virginia Beach tomorrow, which is not. I'm in Atlanta at the Laugh and Skull all weekend. I'm going to say this as nicely as possible. I've had to say it's so many various ways in different times.

If there's a show at the Laughan Skull this weekend, that's June 7th, 8th or 9th, I'm on it. You don't have to ask me if it's the right show. I realize it doesn't say Drew Morgan headlining because it's a showcase show. And I wish I were more famous than I could do a full weekend at the Laughan School in Atlanta. But maybe I can't because you guys, anyway. So I'm on those. I'll be in Nashville, June 25th. Please get tickets to that show.

It's on a Wednesday. I wish it was in the lab on the weekend, but they wanted me to do the big room. Let's prove them correct and sell it out. Yeah, hell yeah. I'm not doing anything except for, you know, bonus cory.com. I'm actually doing my first thing in a while, like actually going out in public to do a thing.

I'm going to go see our boy Tyler Childers on Friday, and I'm pretty fucking pumped. That's pretty sweet, dude. You've seen him, man. Alpharetta. The Alpharetta, Georgia. That's where the carpet is? No, that's Dalton, Georgia's where the carpet is.

Alfreda's a little bit closer to Atlanta. Ironically, where I had to go get my goddamn phone yesterday. But, yeah, I'm pretty excited, man. I haven't been to like a live, I haven't been to a live concert since COVID. Really? I don't think so. That's awesome, dude. Since Trey joined, have you just been here in a crowd in general?

It's not a crowd. It's my air conditioner, but me and Cho had an arrangement. I thought, should I put it off, Corey? I can knock it out. Okay. I'm a highly trained audio technician. Yeah, he told me it was okay. I thought you'd follow on you around.

Yes. That's, by the way, if I had, you know, I think people, you know, you have your number like, what, you know, what amount of money would you need to retire? Everybody's got that. But then if I had like double that money, I could see myself being like, hey, I'll pay you $200,000 a year and you got to follow me around. with a boom box that has all these buttons, right? One is my intro music when I walk into a place.

The other is when I say something that hits, and it's like applause and stuff like that. And then other than that, I trust you, but I want you to score my life. Like when I'm walking fast, speed it up. That da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And when I look sad, just like, bomp, bomb.

And that's their whole fucking job, health insurance, all that shit. Dude, imagine you had the worst day of your life. Something genuinely tracking happens. Like, I don't even want to say what I'm thinking of because it's so unmentionable. And then this motherfucker hits the wamp-womp. You do not want that. That's a terrible idea. Yeah, dude.

Like, Amber's like, hey, I'm leaving you. And also, you're dying. Right, right. But then right after that, she said, says, oh, and the doctor called your die. Oh, I keep playing it. Run that track back, baby. Woo!

All right. Don't make me say the thing that I thought. I know. I know. I know. Please don't say it. But I will say this on that note, because I know what you're about to say, I've actually been, I almost just texted this to Trey.

And then I was like, wait, Drew has a kid too. Because I sometimes forget that I'm a father also. And anyways, I wanted to point out, we don't have to talk about it too much. because it is sad. But like, you know how I mentioned that like when you, when you become a dad, you,

it's like you hear certain songs for the first time. You know what I mean? There's certain songs you hear for the first time. Well, another thing that I've noticed about being a dad is how much kid death is just in movies and in TV shows and shit that used to, again,

it's not like I ever was sitting there like, hell yeah, that fucking five-year-old died. Like, it never hit for me. but like me and Amber were watching for all mankind the other night and I'm not going to spoil what happened but like there I just wasn't in the we the whole show was hitting and and we're a little bit this of tiny spoil yeah well I'm not going to say maybe a kid died at some point sure but I'm not going to say which characters but also this it's in its fourth season and this is season one so like what the fuck ever anyways though like that happened and like it really affected me and we were like in the middle of Benging it, and we started the next episode, and I was a little high, and I told Amber, I said, hey, baby, I'm sorry, we got to switch gears. And she looked at me, and she had a tear

in her eye, and she goes, I'm so glad that you said that. I can't fucking do this right now. You know what I mean? And then we turned it on some old classic, the Patriot, and Mel Gibson's kid gets fucking. Oh, yeah. He had multiple kids of his die on that movie. Of course, he's got a nine or whatever. Yeah. That's how it used to go, but. But, but it was just like, You have to have nine as insurance. If you wanted to end it up with four or five, yeah, you need to have nine. Who else is going to run the farm? Yeah, but you know what I'm saying, though?

Like, so many of these movies, like, it never occurred to me. But now that I'm like super sensitive to it, I almost have to be like, I need to be in a better headspace to watch this. Cue that, cue that Randy Quaid clip that I use in the text thread all the time from Independence Day. I've been saying it. I've been saying it for 10 damn years. I mean, this has been longer than that. I mean, yeah, since Bishop was born and he's 12.

But yeah, no. And I mean, it was it was hardcore for me. And I'm sure it is for YouTube. But yeah, it's like flipping a switch. I will say where I'm at now, 12 years later, like, if it's a complete work of fiction, which most of the things that I watch are, then it kind of don't really bother me anymore. Because I was like over the years, every time, like I would like tell, I was like, I was like, like, Trey, it ain't even fucking real.

That kid ain't real. None of this is real. It doesn't matter though. An alien eight of chite. This is all made up. There's no reason to cry. It's like there's that. What's that?

I think it's Splash. Isn't it Splash? The Dolphin movie or the Dolphin, the mermaid movie with Darryl Hannah. With Darryl Hannah and Tom Hanks where she comes on land and they fall in love or whatever. There's a saying where he comes home to find her watching a movie on TV and characters have been shot and she's crying because she's so concerned that these people have lost their lives. he has to explain to it. Like, it's fake.

It's all whatever. Like, I had to do that with myself with what you're talking about. And it, you know, and I mean, it pretty much worked. If it's like, like I watched First Man,

which is the Ryan Gosling movie about Neil Armstrong. And, and it's a really good movie, but like, you know, spoiler for actual history, Neil Armstrong lost a child, which I didn't know before watching that movie,

or if I did know, I had forgotten it. But, like, that's real, obviously. That's very, real and that's a wrap really happened in the real world to a real american hero and that still

fucked me up but if it's just like pure fiction or whatever i can uh i can remember before bishop was born uh like game of thrones was in its first season and everybody was talking about it and my buddy cori barlow who had a kid already was like he was like yeah we watched the pilot and it was great but that ending though he's like i don't know if i can fuck with that show or not because the pilot ends with jamie lannister pushing brand out of window right you know and And I remember at the time, I was 23 and childless, whatever. And I was like, what? Yeah.

That's the dumbest fucking thing. The show hits. What fuck you talking about? Pussy. You know, whatever. And then, but like, but I do, I do get it now.

I'm glad you said that. I had, I wanted to ask you else. I've got a couple things when I ask you. Actually, one of them is about parenting. We can do that next and another thing, like pride related thing later.

But anyway, yeah, that's where I'm at on this hard deal. It gets better. My only commentary. as a new one is, how do I want to say this? There's a show on right now

called The News from Gaza and buddy, that's right. Wrecking me. Yeah. And, well, yeah,

that's a whole other level. I think most people feel how they're going to feel about it either way. Here's what I'll, here's the experience that I have. There are days where I see things like you're talking about and I go, why the fuck are we sharing this? It's not changing anyone's minds.

I just want to die now. And then there's other days where I'm in a different place or mood. And I go, show everyone this. This is important. I have to experience this. Make these fucking ghouls experience this. Yeah. The child, it's like, it also, it highlights why people who are trying to get something

like that out there do that. It highlights why riders, like, as a crutch maybe in make-believe show. do that to it. It's like, because it's so fucking effective. It's going to hit you. Yeah.

It's gut-wrenching. Yeah, if you need drama. It's a fear that you didn't even know you could see. Yeah. That's the thing. Yeah, that's the thing. Like in that,

in that show, like in that moment, in that show, I 100% because I am a dad, I felt that character more strongly than I, ever would have before. And like it meant like I was fucking, I was devastated. So like, yeah, it's an easy

way. But like I'm watching him go through all this shit. And I'm just like, who boy, he's handling it better than me. You know, like goddamn. Like I said, now if it's fiction, like I said, it's an alien or whatever, then it don't really bother me anymore. But it certainly used to. It didn't matter how

ridiculous it was. Like I remember one time Bishop was probably three or four and something like that. And I was watching that show The Strain. which was like a vampire monster show on FX produced by Guillermo del Toro. It was pretty good. It was okay. It wasn't like fantastic.

It's pretty all right. But these like crazy evil vampire like real freaky monster. They got like tentacles suckers that fly out their face and suck your blood. And it's, you know, they're real scary. Yeah. But also patently ridiculous because it's like such an over the top monster design. One of those monsters broke into a house and this kid came down the stairs who was like three or for same age as Bishop,

he was wearing a pair of like Target pajamas that Bishop had the exact same ones. And I think was like wearing them that night. It was asleep. And that monster just ate the fuck out of that kid. And it, you know, it tore me all to pieces. Even though it's like,

again, it's, that kid probably had a blast filming that shit. You know what I mean? It's probably so cool and fun for everybody involved. Hollywood movie magic. There's nothing actually sad about any of this in reality. But it doesn't.

It just, I don't. To me, it's not any of that. It's just a reminder that, like, yeah, of course, my kid's not going to get people. It's a reminder that things happen in real. That's what I just said doesn't. Kids don't get eaten by vampires. Like, that don't happen.

No, I know. I know. So that's kind of what I'm saying. Yeah, right. I hear you. If it's real, then, yeah. But if it ain't, you know, if it's some silly shit, then some silly Hollywood movie shit, then it don't really bother me anymore.

I don't want to get political, but I think some people think kids get out by vampires, you know, I'm not, I'm not here to debate. You know, I just feel like you just said that like, oh, that never happens. Maybe it does, man. You don't know. It's true. I mean, yeah, you're right. Actually, a lot of people really do believe that kids get ate by vampires all the time.

Yeah, vampires who are also liberal Jews. Anyway, clipping that out. Parenting question. I want, y'all are not there yet. So it probably hasn't even crossed your mind, but I just want to ask you hypothetical. I mean, may or may not be hypothetically eventually. But what do you think about, have you thought about picky eaters, your child being a picky eat? Cho, it seems pretty unlikely to me that you're going to have that problem.

I was about to say, if he keeps up the way he is right now, it's not going to be a case because that motherfucker eats anything. And I mean anything. But that isn't. If he is his father's son, you're probably in the clear. I mean, you know, I'm a garbage pig, too, and Bishop, you know, with picky as hell and thin as a fucking rail, but, Drew. So far, he's loved everything we've given him, I think. There might have been one exception.

I can't currently remember what it is. He is seemingly, I don't know if allergic's the right word because he doesn't break out. He throws up when he eats egg yolk, and at eight months, egg yolk is supposed to be one of the best things for him. So that's disconcerting. I do think about it. Andy certainly thinks about it. She's constantly sending me little videos about how to avoid that and what the best way to avoid it is.

And he's got genuinely impressive instincts when it comes to a lot of that stuff. Like with his sleep, for example, like slight changes. She's like, oh, I bet it to this. She figures it out in a day and gets him right back on track. She's just very maternal. So I'm hoping, like look, so far, man. they both almost died on the way in. And then since then, though, it's been emotionally nothing but pretty easy on me in an emotional sense.

He's pretty happy all the time. She's great at helping him along or not. So I have thought about it. But right now I'm just in a place where he ain't going to be like that, which makes me think now that you've asked me that he is. If he is like that, because see, like Bishop is like he's been picky his whole life. He's been a vegetarian since he was three or whatever. And like at three,

his stated reason was because he likes animals and doesn't think animals should be eaten. So he's been like, and that's where we've moved to California. He was queer already. But anyway, he's been real picky since the very beginning. And Katie has never even a little bit been on my team about it.

Like early on, it's always bothered the shit out of me. On your team of just like he'll eat what we give him. Like from the very beginning, I was like, Katie, we need to actively try to do something about this now. Like, we need, I know he's going to sit there and cry, but we need to force him to eat some of these things or whatever. And she just never was with it.

She was like, I just don't see what it matters. Why not? Like, he giving vitamins, let him eat what he wants. It's not a big deal. You're being an asshole, right? And it's like, and she stayed that way forever. Now he's pushing 13, and I swear to God, he eats four or five things in the world. Now, luckily, like a couple of those things are like, he likes fresh.

fruits and he likes peppers and carrots and hummus and shit like it's not unhealthy stuff that he eats he's like you know like i said he's you know he's he's he's a burgeoning like timothy shallamee you know what i mean like he's uh he's very he's way fish but in like a good what you know what i mean i'm not worried about his health or nothing because of this it's more like social concerns that i have so i'm not thinking this specifically now because Katie, Katie's sister, her sister's husband, their three-year-old,

and Katie's dad, just spent a week with us and left yesterday, right, and we made it through. Her, my brother-in-law or sister's husband, who I love,

is a great guy, he's an adult picky eater, right? And he was saying, while he was here, he was like, you know, now,

like, retro, in retrospect, I wish my parents had, like, forced me to not be like this, because I don't like being like this, but it's like basically,

it's like pathological at this point. Right. You know what I made? And it's like, and I'm like, Katie, see, you listen,

you hear that shit? But I feel like it's like about too far gone now. But, yeah, I don't know. There's great. So I guess to offer a different, like not even pushback because I don't know.

I am definitely was raised by people who are like, you'll fucking eat what we give you. And I know that's inside me. But Andy knows that's inside me. And in an attempt to like, she's already thinking about it to the point where she's already trying to ward that off. She's more like Katie and she knows how I'm going to be. But she said somebody that made sense, which is like they don't think that works very well

because if you force them, now you're just giving them anxiety surrounding food. Yeah. So you're not instilling any sort of healthy relationship with the thing that you're trying to force them to do. Right. And you'll give them an eating disorder. to do is gives them a bunch of stuff when they're babies. Like Andy's got a list and we're like building up to it where you're just supposed to like have them try stuff when they're too young to even know what no is. And if they don't like it, then you just don't force it again and for a week or two, then you try it again, you know.

And I guess that's our plan. It does make sense to me what he said, but he doesn't know if that would be the outcome. Like the outcome might be that they gave him a lot of food anxiety. and then what? I don't even eating disorder. I mean, at this point, I know that doing that old, you're going to eat what I give you. I know that wouldn't work with Bishop because I know he wouldn't,

because he can just, the other thing about it, and this, see. Yeah, he'll just Uber eat something. No, it's a double-edged sword because, like, I, the other aspect of that I'm actually real jealous of, like, I'm actually real jealous of and I'm glad for, he, like, he's like a food is, fuel person. It's not just he's a picky eater. He don't, he don't have that broken thing inside of

me that just the whole of me that I've been filling with sugar and fat for 30 years to no avail. Yeah. He don't have that. Think like clearly like I know if I tried that he would just not eat that night and he would continue to not eat until I don't know. He died. I don't know. But like he said, but like he would as far as picky eater like he would gladly, if I bought him those soilants, those meal replacement shakes. Yeah. He would drink. He would that he would do nothing but that every day for perhaps the rest of his life and it wouldn't bother him at all. And again, I'm kind of jealous of that because he probably won't ever be a big fat fuck. His brother, you know, he's more like me.

He go in and I do have to worry about him sometimes because he's a big, big fan of food and he ain't, you know, he ain't fatted up yet, but we're going to have to keep her eyes on him. But yeah, so it goes both ways. Yeah. I just don't want him going over to a friend's house or something or like. a field trip. You know what I mean? Something like that where you goes over to a friend's house, especially out here in LA. He goes to like an Armenian friend's house or something and his

mama cooks him some traditional Armenian shit that's like really important culturally to them or whatever the fuck. And he's just like, ugh, no. And it's like that's rude and distrust. I don't like thinking about shit like that. You know what I mean? And it's like, let him hang out with Armenians, dude. God damn. I mean, that is the obvious answer, I guess. But, uh, Jesus Christ. But yeah, I don't know. That's mostly what I think about. And y'all know that I've had like, Drew, you know that guy in Knoxville that did comedy that we found out he was like an adult picky eater.

We did that Taco Bell challenge. His name's Dane. You don't need to. I don't want you. He deserves nothing. And y'all, for years I've been like, dude, I've never more quickly lost any last, you know, modicum of respect I had for a person. And when I found out, because it was like, we're trying to do this eating challenge.

He's like, I can't have no lettuce. I can't have no vegetables of any kind on them tacos. I was like, oh, well, you allergic to vegetables? He's like, no, I just can't eat vegetables. Like, we can't eat vegetables. Like, even if you don't like them, so what? Like, just do it. You know, like, that's always been my attitude.

And now I'm, you know, raising one of the, I mean, he's the polar opposite of Dane, except that they're both picky eater, but. Right. He eats good, like, and no, and he's no, and he's not created. He don't have any of the other signs. He don't have any of the other signs. You just did a perfect, like, right-wing argument because you almost made me say,

in defense of autistic people, that they're often fat. You almost got me to be like, yeah, but he's a different kind of fat. Like, he's, like, again, all he's... We're being dicks to a person who's real, and we've said his real name. So that's the guy...

Which I tried not to do. Corn's a little who said his real name. I don't... I think, listen, he's a fine fella otherwise, but, like, if you've got to, if you just go through your whole adult life and you're like, I can't eat vegetables, you don't deserve anonymity.

That's something that you need to be shit on for. All right. Let's throw Max under the table too while we're at it. Max, who? Fine. Max, he don't eat vegetables.

Yeah, he don't eat vegetables. He don't drink water or neither. He don't. He don't. Dude. Matt don't, Matt, what a dude.

Unless you are, unless you are from, like, Wang County, there's no excuse for not eating vegetables and not drink of water. Like them people thought, it's probably a mental health thing, by the way.

And he's a Jew so he can know. What does he drink? Types of meat. What's he drink? He's only going to be mad about one part of this. Besides straight liquor. It's really, really genuinely upset me because I love, but anyway, I want to get back to something related to this.

Trace Kid, if he's eating hummus and vegetables, like I genuinely think there's nothing. All you're worried about is an imaginary Armenian and mother being mad. Yeah. Well, piss on her, dude. Right. Like, you ever, you ever seen them drive their SUVs right up to the front of the

stair and go straight in without even barking in a real spot? You know, they're white. You're allowed to say stuff like that about them. It's always been my philosophy. By the way, you know, you know that such proof of how much money and stature matters. The way we just described Max and Dean is also Al Michaels, except for like. Oh, that's right. That's him to a T, except for he's rich and his support he does.

This is related to something else I want to talk about. I want this related to something else I want to talk about. But first, did you say, man, go we said Max is like, Max does comedy. Like, we're plugging him, right? Yeah, we are plugging him. And he's a dumb piece of shit. Right.

And he's a buddy. We could call him a dip shit. Of course. I didn't say we shouldn't say his name. I said for two seconds, I forgot his last name. Oh, you forgot his last name. I thought you said you were only upset because we said his last name. That's why I thought you said.

No, because I went. Max, fuck. Yeah, Max, Max, he should change that to his stage name. Max, don't eat vegetables.

He eats cigarettes, and he drinks coffee instead of water, and he's a fan. He's now, you know, he's a smart guy. He's a big Jimmy Buffett fan, obviously,

so. The most fun person to go to a mall with. Yeah. He's, uh, yeah, yeah, he looks like Richard Dreyfuss and John's,

uh, but, yeah, he does. Uh, so Al Michael. I'm glad you brought it up because you're right. That is the thing about Al Michaels.

He don't eat vegetables. Yeah, right. So I, aside, related to the pick eater thing, again, my in-laws have been here and it had me thinking, it's like,

look, I'll love to them. Like I said, they're from Wayne County is what it is. They, Katie knew this before they arrived. Katie went and bought $150 worth of pure processed garbage,

right? Because that's like all they eat. And like, my father-in-law, dude, he don't drink water. Like, he don't ever drink, he drinks two things, sweet tea and sun drop, right? And not fucking diet, sugar-free sun drop, full high-test sun drop.

And that's all he ever drinks. He's never had an ounce of fat on him his whole life. He's by all accounts in like great health or whatever. It's not just that. He eats junk food. He wakes up in the middle. And Corey's about to shit on me for this. He's like, really, you thought that?

The whole midnight snack thing. I always thought that was kind of just from cartoons or TV shows or something. I didn't know that people actually load up. in the middle of the night to eat food. But my father-in-law, you don't know, sit, I knew you were going to be like, really? Because I do that every night. You don't keep bad cookies, but my father-in-law gets up every night.

It takes me an hour to get hungry. Yeah, I don't ever wake up in the middle of the night to, I mean, to pee, but not to eat. But what I do is I eat myself to that. To curse God, sure. I'll wake up to curse you. Yes, mostly because I ate myself sick right before going to bed, sure. But he could every night. Every night, he, every night, he gets up as a midnight snack.

And when I say midnight snack, I mean, something not like a honey bun or a little debby or something like that. This is how he eats and he's like, he's fine and thin and all that. And I just don't, how, how do you, literally how do you live? Aren't there vitamins and shit we supposed to get from other foods? My granny did the same way. How do, how do these people? Well, he's like retired now, but he was like a laborer, a laborer at a day at a day. TVA site for years and years and you.

Like you. Real work. Real money on that. If you do that for years, because my dad doesn't eat junk, but he eats so much, even now that he's retired. But if you do that for years, I mean, dude, I think your body as a machine just can consume

more calories. So that's my theory on the thin thing. Plus, I don't think he drinks, does he? Uh, drinks? No, I think he'll have like, you know, at Christmas he'll have a little whiskyer. Every now and then, I think, but not really, no. Not really. So my theory, that's my theory on thin.

As for the health, I genuinely think it'll catch up to him, man. Like, I think he's going to get diabetes. But, like, if it happens at 70 and you asked him, was it worth it? He's probably going to be like, hell yeah, it was. My granny died at 96, and she died of Alzheimer's, but that Alzheimer's didn't even really get bad until she was 95. So it's not like she suffered from it for a long time. she did not take a single pill the entire time she was alive.

No blood pressure, no nothing. Damn, I don't know that. Yet not one. She never took a pill. Like, I take more pills right now than she ever took in her whole life. That's like the hitness part of being a mammal. I know. It was all the pills.

But like she didn't have, she didn't have no need for them. She never had anxiety. She never had like none. She was the chillest, most cucumber, whatever. That's truly wild. Dude, dude, she was awesome. She also ate bacon grease, biscuits and fucking gravy. every goddamn day.

She never drank water. She drank nothing but sweet tea. She didn't fucking exercise. Now, granted, she did. At one point, she will big. Not like Mama cat big, but just like,

we, Mama cat was big. We called her please. She was pleasingly plump, which is like, you know, you're getting close, but she was never like,

holy fuck, what a fat ass. To her face. Yeah. Well, no. No, Mama would. She said it about herself because she was very positive.

She would be like, I'm not fat, I'm pleasingly plump. Like, again, this woman, like, she had no problems at all. Like, she was not self-conscious about anything. She had no pills. And... Well, that's it.

But you were saying that this might catch up to him, and I'm saying, it might not, because you would think that about my granny, and it never did. Well, two things. One, I think sugar is what's worrying me about Katie's dad, more than anything else. And it doesn't sound, like she was doing that a lot outside of sweet tea sweet tea right and dr peppers yeah but how

more dairy fucking day exclusively you remember that dr pepper it was like the 11 12 you know it's like three times you're supposed to drink dr pepper she did that shit and i'm talking about like she'd make a brand new picture of sweet tea every day extra sugar drink that motherfucker we go out she's getting fucking sweet tea no nan water nan i can't do but two two more things one there's stress and your reaction to it and it It sounds to me like she didn't have a lot. And like, she grew up in the depression. But you just said she didn't ever have a care.

Like, I'm not just talking about literal stress in your life. It's also your reaction to it. Yeah. There's plenty of proof that if you can roll with the punches, you will be a much better to your person. But then the other thing you're going to think of, like, we're talking about anomalies. Like, living in 1995 is rare, period.

So she ought to just bend the Bercr-Risher of sweet tea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I would gene or whatever. And maybe your father-in-law does too. Or maybe we're all being lied to. We should just be fucking mainline. Well, I mean, it is just like, listen, everyone's different. I mean, it's like, it's true because, like, there's plenty of people who eat the same way that I do and they're fine, whereas my cholesterol is through the fucking roof.

You know what I mean? Like, there's plenty of people. They go in, get their self-checked out. I know we have the same diet. Matter of fact, my diet's a lot better now. A lot of that shit is genetic, but there still is like, but I think a lot of people, the problem is they look at someone, like someone like my dad looks at my granny being 96 as his reason for like, well, see, she did, why would I chat? And it's like, because y'all ain't the same motherfucker. Was that his mom?

I can't remember. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. So what the hell's it got to do with him? No, no, no, no. He doesn't have anything. He doesn't understand the genetic. It's funny, though, that if he makes that argument, it's like, hell, you're anybody in

lived in being 96 just like this. It's like, you ain't even related to her. But it's not a genetic. Like, your dad died at 39. That's the point, though. My dad doesn't factor genetics into any of this. My dad is just like, see, my dad, no, my dad is just like, see, sometimes people, like, she did all that bad shit and she lived in 96, so I could, too. He won't factor in the fact that his dad, who both.

the way, his dad wasn't even fat. He just had a bad heart and a heart attack. Like, dad don't factor none of that in. People like my dad, they see these people, they're like these old people that eat bacon every day and live. And they're like, see, doctors don't know what the fuck they're talking about. And it's like, no, motherfucker, these are outliers. Like, you ain't them. But I can see, you sure his argument isn't sort of what you said, but in the negative. What I mean is, I could buy the argument. It's not true, but I can understand the argument of like some people live to be old, some people die at 40. I may die at 40, but it ain't going to be because of what I'm eating. It's just how it is. You know what I mean?

Like almost like it's only genetic. I mean, that's what I've definitely heard that argument a lot to where it's like other things are a factor, but at the end of the day, you can know more determining factor than just your genetic. So that basically like Katie, everybody in Katie's family lives to be damn near 100, right? So she's got great genetics. So like hopefully the boys got that because me. I mean, with some people, but, but my family is full of people who live like shit too. Like if they had, if my papal wasn't a whiskey bowl papal, he might have, and smoked a pack and a half a day, he might have made it past 69.

Yeah, I think everyone in my dad's family died young and so they took that as, well, I'm going to die young, so I'm going to do whatever. But it's like, but it's like, that's the reason though is that they all decided, well, I'm just going to hit. If one of them had been like, damn, we all die young. I better not hit this hard. They might have broke the cycle.

It's because, it's because they've hit too hard. Right. On the flip side, though, and I have no way of knowing this, obviously, she could die tomorrow.

But I've just always thought my whole life that my mama's going to live to be 100. Yeah, my mom will too. She just seems like one. And it's like, and she has lived so wrong. But she's just like,

she's just one of those people. You can't kill them time. Right, exactly. It's like, Wade. Wade, live forever. She ain't going to go nowhere. I don't think.

My mother-in-law lives very cleanly, but she's definitely going to live forever. What about, do you guys ever read about, like, your DNA changing based upon how you live? Yes, your DNA. Like, I saw one study, this is going to sound so ignorant because I'm ignorant about this. It was something like, is racism inherited? and it was like, if you get taught to be racist and you, they use racist as an example, if you get taught a belief and that belief stays in your family long enough,

you pass the belief on because it kind of gets lived in your DNA. I wonder if that, again, we're speaking way over, I'm speaking over my head, but I wonder if there's something. Your double helix just looks like a swastika. It's, I've heard, I have, I read a similar study that was like, talents can be passed through genetically.

Like, if some, but like not just like, musical talent? I feel like that totally. Yeah, but it, but it's not like,

oh, they were a natural hitter and therefore you'd be a natural hitter too. It's like someone hypothetically, they weren't necessarily musically gifted, but they tried really, really fucking hard and that changed their DNA. Oh,

there's, uh, I read a book about this concept years ago. You know what I mean? Yeah, practice and learning a skill and get good at could somehow change your and you pass it down. Yeah, I remember reading books about that.

And our graphical practice racism. Right. Right. They got good. They were some of the best ever. Yeah, well, I'm really hoping that environment is a pretty big part of it, frankly. I've got a bit right now where I talk about like worrying about my kids on account of trash blood. I've given them, you know, how like I'm raising them in California, but at the end of the day, I gave them this fucking moonshine and a radiator-ass blood I got. And I'm worried about that, which is true. But like, so I'm not.

saying, you know, what I tell myself is like, yeah, but literally everything about their whole existence is a complete 180 from what yours was. Because, you know, because I'm like, I'm real lead up. If one of them kids does some trash shit, it's just because like they're trying to rebel again. Well, I'm saying trash shit, but what I mean is like, you know, crippling anxiety and depression and fucking food problems and get like that. But also, also, also, but is it not because of all the shit that happened to me? me is what I'm saying. Like if I had like grown up in a loving home, it wasn't broken.

Maybe, but either way, like, I think about that. I love this, but you know what I mean. Well, I think about that all the time with like, you know, my dad has undiagnosed, uh, mental disorders or whatever. And it took me a long time to accept mine or whatever. And when we were like talking about having Bain, I was like, man, I really hope that like it's, it's going to upset me if like this baby has fucking depression and anxiety and shit. knowing that I gave it to him. But then I comfort myself with the whole thought of like, yes,

but he'll have a parent that has gotten help and understands it and will have the resources to deal with that early. So it won't be the same. You know what I mean? Like, it won't be the same. We can nip that shit in the bud. So that's a little bit.

Does that make sense? Yeah, but it's also like what I'm going through over here already is like they're in like tween puberty sort of aid teenager to run around the course. So it's like they're too cool for a lot of shit. Everything's mid to them. You know, mid. Yeah.

Yeah. I think it's just mid, nothing hits. And it's like, do they say mid a lot? No, but they act that way. Yeah. And it's like, and in my head, I'm like, oh, nothing hits for them. Are they like depressed? And it's like, are they just angsty teenagers?

Yeah. Like, it's not cool for anything. You're mid. Are you mid to them? I'm sure I'm mid to them. Yeah. You know. Yeah.

You don't have Riz. I know that. Mm-mm. No, res. I like Riz. Negative Riz. It's beautiful. It's just short for charisma.

Yeah, it's not that bad. How many of these do you think will stick around because like... I think Riz sticks around because it makes sense. Yeah, I think Riz will stick around because like, you know, I think about some of the ones of the past and like, you know, dope, like that one has some of the... Dope and cool have the most stay in power. It's like those were both used before our time and they still mean the exact same thing. But then there's like, you know... Thebomb.com?

The bomb.com. Like, that's gone. All that in a bag of chips. Yeah, exactly. What's it? Like all that, like, you know, the ones of the- Saying what's up is gone, but what's up is eternal. Yes, up is still fine.

But like, I want to say what's- Yeah, that's new. And that one will hang around. But like I hear some of these new ones, like, drip. Do you think drip will hang around? I mean, it's already been around a few years, but no. I mean, uh, No, but it's on the line.

But no. Yeah, there's a couple. And because I'm trying to come at this from like a, you know, I don't want to be like, God, these kids that talk so dumb because I knew that I was a kid that talked real dumb, right? It just is, though. I think about it. I go, yeah, but some of ours stood the test of time.

You know, I don't know about, I don't know about some of these. Oh, like the one, the new one, it's giving. You know this one? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I hate that one. I hope that don't.

It's giving sad Hulk Hogan. Thank you. Yes. Depressed Hulk Hogan. Well, that one will stick around. Yeah. It's taking my will to live every time I hear it. Okay.

Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. Me and Katie got into a fight and she texted Paige about it. And Paige texted me like this was months ago for the record. Back being dead? No. Page texted me like, you know, you need to talk to Katie. She's giving exhausted or through with it all or something.

like that and it's like page too old for that shit i know and that's what i'm saying it's like it's like it bothered me not even because of the like just that part of it by yeah do you know what i mean it's like she was like right about the thing that had happened and all that like that but it's like this a real adult situation you fucking come made with that bullshit the fuck is this like it just just didn't hit for me

yeah there's a lot of that like i feel like uh and this one's a little bit different but there's certain things yeah like like that it almost feels like it minimized it because you're using that, you're using that parlance. Like I feel that way online and it's not anybody else's fault. It's the, it's the fucking algorithm and how the algorithm is screwed up. But like,

like anytime, because I think, yeah, I think he's going to kill himself on God, no cap for real, yeah, yeah, but,

but they can't say, but they can't say kill himself. And unalive himself. Yeah, right. And so like, and I talked about this one time where I was like, I understand why people say it like that

because they're like, well, I want my video to get viewed more or whatever. But, like, every time I hear that, it feels like a joke. Like, it feels like a bit. Like, they unalive themselves. Like, I'm immediately scrolling past because I'm like, can we not just be, not be chicken shits and say he fucking killed himself or suicide or whatever? And, like, kind of dark.

Like, how the algorithm or whatever is shaping how we communicate about such genuinely serious. It's like, I know. Really, like, well, what's that word? Trade, you know the word. Infantilizing, infantilizing? Yes, but no, like, sci-fi, it's dark. Dysopian? Dysopian, yeah.

It is. It's really fucking dystopian. We're like, oh, no, the robot won't let me talk about suicide in an honest way. So let me speak as if I'm an eight-year-old. Right. Then, like, and like, listen, I get it. Like, if the whole thought process was like, well, we're doing it so that it will catch when people tell other people, like you should kill yourself.

Like, you know, like, we don't want that to be able to be said. But then it's like it ruins the earnest conversations. Like I saw one the other day where like. In, in order to, in order to talk about sexual assault or, or, or rape, you have to put, I was graped. I was raped. And I'm sitting here dying laughing. And I shouldn't be.

I'm like, this bitch was raped. And then I'm like, oh, that means, you know. And it's like. It's like fucking let them say it. Are you just doing that to hit? Or was there a moment where you genuinely forgot and you weren't sure what happened? Because that is so goddamn funny. That one.

That one. What did she talk about? Yeah. That one. That one. I was like, this got great. I was like, what the fuck is that shit? And then I was like, oh, no.

Oh. Well, I know, but that's proven my point. You know what I mean? It's like, it's like I'm scrolling. Like, we, like, the algorithm needs to get better at, like, learning, hey, this word, but it was used in a serious connotation and should be talked about, therefore, it's fine. Yes, if someone says, like, if someone posts on Miley Cyrus's Instagram, you should be raped and die, like, they should take that shit off. You know what I mean? No, you're 100% around.

I mean, they should. I mean, like, in a much, much, much less serious context. I feel like comedian. I mean, I know that comedians deal with this all the time because I myself have dealt with it a lot because they, like you just said, the algorithm it don't know context or whatever. So like, you know, like I got banned from TikTok for hate speech.

For quoting somebody. Because, well, like fake quote, I'd be like, yeah, I'd say something horrible about Mexicans, but I'm really making fun of Marjorie Taylor Green in the way she is.

But the algorithm don't like, or understand that. So it like, so I kept getting in trouble. And then I finally had to send like weeks and weeks of messages to them. And I may, I don't know if they finally marked my account as like, this dude's just full of shit or what happened.

But that finally stopped eventually. But happened to me on Instagram. I've been dealing with it for four fucking months. This guy's got a rape pass, everybody. Just so, you know, he's allowed to say rape, okay? Yeah, yeah, but I'm like, I don't know. I'm calling, like, some brutal, you know, horrific serial predator, like, you know, a grapeist. A rapist?

Yeah. Was he make wine? You live in a wine? Yeah. Grape in his ass off. I hope you get graped in prison, you piece of shit. But like, I don't know, man. Like, it's just like, yeah, it is infantilizing and it's, it's fucking stupid.

But like, I didn't, now for the record, when it, when it first started happening and I first started seeing it, I didn't know it was an algorithm thing. And I thought that it was, I thought it was just kids thinking of different ways to say it. And it really pissed me off. And then I found out that it's like, they're having to do this. And I was like, okay, my bad younger generation. But they would be like, he was unalived. And I was like, wait a minute, hold on just a second.

Is the word murder canceled? We can't fucking. And then it was like, oh, no, it was just the robots. The kids are okay. Never mind. Yeah, don't hit. I don't ask you one. I know y'all both have thoughts on this.

What? What? What? I'm about to bring something up, but were you saying something? I don't know what just happened. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I cut out. I was just going to say I've been doing a bit.

I don't think Corey has seen it or knows about it. to trade about it, about the algorithm and like, the way it's like already shaping my dad and how it's like, it's really, it's fucking depressing because it's like, it seems so insignificant until you realize this is where culture's at. And what I mean is online. Like, this is where culture's now shared, this is where it's created.

It's like, it seems instant it's like, all right, so you can't say suicide on Instagram. And it's like, yeah, but that's where these kids live. Right. Yes, yes. Right. Which almost makes it seem like you can't talk about it. This is related to exactly what I was just about to bring up, and I know you both have thoughts on it,

because Cho be expounding on it, or sort of on it all the time on the internet, and Drew at least at one point, had a bit kind of about this. I was watching a TV show where there's like a detective guy's looking for a missing girl, and she's like 20 years old, and he's checking her Instagram accounts and stuff, and she posted all this is all made up,

none of this is real. But she's on Instagram. You know, he's trying to piece it together her last moments before she disappeared. And she's on Instagram having breakdowns and shit. Again, this is all made up, but people will be doing this. And I was saying while watching it's like, man, it's such a wild thing that that really does happen a lot. Like, I feel like, generationally speaking, like, if you genuinely think something is about to happen to you, like you're in danger. or something, I get, I get like, you know, going live catalog, you know what I mean?

Like, it's evidence. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you're just, but if you're just like falling apart or something, right, it's so wild to, I cannot, I cannot conceive of having that happen and my thought being, I need, I need to document this for posterior. Right. I need to do this publicly or on social media or whatever. Like, for me, it's the opposite. I don't, I don't want, I don't want my wife to see me upset. I'll go in the closet and hide and do my shit. And that ain't good either. But like, I just, you know, bad whole. Yeah, right. But like, what do y'all, you know, where y'all at on, on that? I mean people who were like literally, like having a, like, literal massive breakdown and they're like live or whatever? Yeah, just people that, I mean,

it's kind of like a larger question. People put their entire lives on social media. But that includes like when they're crying because something bad has happened to them or they've got having some kind of mental health episode or whatever the case may, whatever it may be. They do it on social media. And I think that's fucking wild. It is wild. Me and my friend, uh, Reno, you all know Reno call your comedian. Uh, we were actually talking kind of about this the other day on the phone. And we were talking about suicide in general.

I think you can still say it on a podcast and not the algorithm, don't fuck with you. We're talking about suicide in general and just like when you're in that spot. And a lot of people will be like, let's say hypothetically someone commits suicide in like a kind of crazy way or whatever. And people will always go, what were they thinking? And it's like, well, the real answer is that they weren't. You know what I mean? Like the real answer is that they weren't. And like I believe with certain things like that, like, you know, when you're so depressive or whatever that your frontal cortex is just completely shut off.

Like, and you're either in some sort of deep depressive or like your depressive and your manic meat at one moment where you're super fucking sad, but you've got all the energy in the world to talk about it. I don't even think that you make decisions based on thought at all. Well, I always have thought, this is sort of diverting a little bit, but just directly on what you just said. I've always thought that David Foster Wallace, who clearly had some personal experience in the matter ultimately. I always thought that he kind of nailed this, or at least it makes sense to me. I thankfully haven't been there myself. But the way he described it, it's not that people are thinking. It's not that people aren't thinking.

It's not that people aren't thinking. It's that when someone is so insanely clinically clinically depressed or whatever that they end up killing themselves, it's akin to when people on 9-11 jumped out of the towers because they were on fire. They didn't do it because jump and hit for them. They did it because the alternative was worth. They were afraid of the flame. and like the depression gets so bad that the, that jumping out of the building as opposed to dealing with the flames of the depression

seems like the better alternative to these people. And I've always thought that that checks out. Couldn't agree more. That's not really the same as not thinking about it. No, no, I couldn't agree more. I'm just saying that like even in that every suicide is its own thing. You know what I mean? Like every,

because like I do believe that there are some suicides that were purely fear-based. like some of them. Like I know like I know so like somebody running from the law. Oh, you know, I'm doing this like some of them are like these instinctual. I don't want to see what happens next. I'm going to do this.

And maybe they wouldn't have done it had that circumstance not happen. And then there's some people where it's like everybody's blaming themselves and it's like, look, buddy, we knew that person. It was just whether it was today or tomorrow. You know what I'm saying? And so I don't know. I'm just saying like it's people.

You can't. A normal functioning person who never has had suicidal ideations can't put themselves in that thought process at all. And so, like, I don't know. I just don't think their brain's working right. And they're just like, they're just doing anything to maybe feel better. It's sort of like that, you know, no atheist in a foxhole thing where it's like, this might be dumb. But if it helps, I'll fucking do it. And I guess for some people, it might be, it might be just like, this is a new cry for help.

Like, please somebody come get me. You know what I mean? grew I mean I think it's definitely a cry for help I mean when you first described people having a breakdown while they like look at their phone and I didn't necessarily think of someone who was suicidal and I didn't necessarily make that for the record by the way

I think that a few things are going on I think one is at some point it became like brave like hashtag brave to share your mental health story and I think that's true and I think a lot of people did that. But as that becomes part of the culture, people are like, oh, there's a new,

even if it's subconscious, it's like there's a way to get attention, which feels good, especially if, as Corey said, you're already down. And then you usually do get support when you do those types of things, at least at first.

Like, I know there's some dark corners of the internet that'll just like, if you're really crying, especially if you're a woman, like a twinked looking boy, like there's corners of the internet are just going to be like, like fuck off. But like for the most part, if you do one of those things, you're going to get a lot of support.

Clicks and likes are endorphins. I was going to say, A, you can look at that positively like you need support. And then B, yes, it is a dopamine drip to feel that. So I don't personally think it's very healthy to do it. I think people do it for a myriad of reasons and probably more than one at the same time. I think it's a type of cry for help in a lot of ways. I think people are addicted to attention. I mean, I'm one of them. I'm most stuff all the time. And some people can get it that way.

I think that a lot of people do talk about those issues and are open about it. Like I'm having a bad day. And I know I've been crying and here's what's going on. I think because their hearts are in the right place. And I think some people's hearts aren't in the right place. I think it's like anything. else. We tried to, this is what my bit was about

and you referenced it. We tried to get rid of the shame because we didn't want people to feel alone in those moments. But getting rid of the shame had a boomerang effect of we went to where some people seemed proud of. Yeah, right. And that is, that does

happen. Like with fat people. And I also think that Corey's right. Like for some people it's just to cry for help and then for others I hope that their heart's in the right place, and they're just like, they are just letting you, like,

hey, I don't hold back. I'm very real on here. All that's, I think we might be too, like, we kind of did grow up on the internet, but we really didn't. Not this.

Yeah, no, not this. I think kids are going to have to, like, figure out how to parse what's, like, who's being sincere and who's not. And then also decide for themselves, hey,

maybe we don't share that. Like, Maybe stigma's bad, but privacy is good, maybe. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two things can be true. Like, we need to end the stigma of mental health and mental illness being something that's made up in your brain. But at the same time, especially to the generation that grew up completely online, you do need to have, like, moments that are just you.

What about, what about this angle, though? For years, people said that there was like a prevailing theory that I don't disagree with about social media, before we got to this stage where people are like, social media's fucking people up because what people are doing is they're comparing their every day to everyone else's highlight real. They see all the people they know on social media and it's nothing but hitting times and vacations. They're like, damn, look at their life.

Their life hits my life. Don't hit. Well, if it's moving in this direction now, you know, that helps. Could that have the opposite of people who are watching? Like, damn, what are saying is sad as that motherfucker?

You know? Well, I mean, dude, listen, I mean, being transparent here, like I, you know,

I openly talk about my struggles, I don't cry into the camera, but I've openly talked about my struggles and, you know, one thing that, a myriad of the comments that I've gotten and the reason that I continue to do it, less so now than I used to, and coincidentally, I think that's because I got my brain figured out

and I'm happier, but was like, hey, it is nice seeing someone with my accent talk about these things normally, like just having a normal conversation about it, it is nice. And perhaps that is something to your, you know, your thing of like,

yeah, I could just share all the times I'm at the MTV movie awards hanging out with y'all doing all this thing. But like, then it'd be like, oh, Corey's, you know,

this or whatever. But I don't know. It could go the other direction. Either way, I think that ending the stigma is a good thing. But I'm also with Drew in the sense of like, it's going to bring out some like super shitty Tony Robbins like motherfuckers that and that don't hit.

Well, it already has, but it's all, I guess the question for me is like the people who are having these breakdowns, if there is, if it's a sincere breakdown, is it going to help them to do it online? I don't know. Probably not. I don't think that I, I think that I think it will unless it's like they literally need someone to send someone to their house right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then the question of like, is it going to help other people? I struggle with that one because. I mean, obviously it depends on context, but you said breakdown, Trey, and it's like, that feels to me like you can't, like, who is that? I don't, that just makes everybody sad or worry about you. I know, you're right. And I can't help but feel like people post full-on breakdowns because that's what they want. Right. They want a bunch of people to text them.

That's weird. And by the way, maybe they need that. Right, right. but I don't know if it's healthy or not. Right. Definitely not. But it's also, it's weird because like the, the, I agree with you.

When I was saying that, I was like, if everyone could afford a, hell, if everyone could afford a therapist, that less of it would happen, by the way, because a lot of those breakdowns

just need to be told to a therapist. It's weird. It's like so, but the whole idea that like, when you post your hit in this parts of your life, that makes people sad. And when you post the saddest parts of your life, that also makes people sad.

Yeah. It's like, well, nothing fucking hits. Right. Because if you, Because if you put, there's nobody post the most middle parts. Right.

Post the mid part. No, I hate people who do that. Some people do post the mid parts of their life. And I'm like, who gives a fuck about that shit? Yeah. That's that sandwich.

What's that sandwich. No, that sandwich ain't shit. Yes. Right. It's all bad. It's all bad. It's literally all bad.

Like, all these are bad. Now, I firmly believe, and this was the end of the bit, full disclosure, because a lot of people do know it, and I know that I'm doing the bit. But I believe to this.

far fully. It, to me, it should be a place where you try to either share information or communicate. And I believe in that. Like, you know, I don't want to bring up a fucking war again. But it's like, if the news didn't tell in the news, show me on your camera. I think that's one thing social media is for information. And then secondly, I do think it should be for the highlights. And in the bit, I say, if you're my friend, I want to see your highlights.

And if you're my enemy, I got on this app to hate you. That's why I went to your page. So if you're talking about your suicidal, you made me empathize with you on a Tuesday. Now I hate you even more. So I think, I think, yes, I think that the highlights, it should be a curate. I do actually think it should be a curated highlight, and we should just all know that and accept it. Now, if you say, well, I want to share information because I'm worried about people's other people's mental health, And I'm like, all right, that is also a good purpose for it.

I don't think seeking out either validation, and I do it all the time, or help from strangers is healthy. I think we should try to push our kids away from doing that on social media. Like, if you're in trouble, you need to call somebody. No, I post a video of you. I just think that information, I think that every post, well, no, I don't know. If you're just on social media with your friends and coworkers and people you actually know, that's totally different. But that ain't really the world we live in. And I feel like more and more people today on social media, they try to do something with it, which, hey, I mean, that's what I've done.

That's what we all do. I'm not knocking it. But if you are that person, if you're not just a regular person posting pictures of your kids and shit for your family, your aunts and uncles to see, if you're not doing that, if you're on social media for the other reasons, I just am of the opinion that the post should be that they should offer something. I'm not saying it has to be like for me. It's like I try to be funny. Right. People think it don't hit, but I try to have jokes in it. Right.

But it's like, or if you are a food person, it should offer food porn. It should offer whatever it is you do. It should offer something. A lot of people that are just on there just doing nothing, but just being on social media and acting like other people should care, that bothers me. Like I'm like, why? But my dark response to that, and this is actually why I wrote the joke. is that I do feel like some of those people are offering something. It is a voyeuristic shit show sometimes.

Yeah, people like that. Of people like enjoying the fact, again, like I said, that people are worried about them. And that in and of itself is a mental health issue. I'm not trying to just judge that as like necessarily awful, but I do think they're offering some. I mean,

it's been fodder for us for the last 10 minutes. Yeah, we just don't like it. Well, part of what scares me so much about it, Trey, it makes me uncomfortable, but for a lot of people, that is very, entertaining is not quite engaging. They're very engaged by watching someone

have a breakdown, and that is what's so dark. Oh, dude, my sister and Amber, that's like, they're shit. Like, there's so much of the internet that we talk about, and I'm like, who the fuck likes that? Answer, my sister and Amber.

You know what I mean? So, like, and it's crazy, and, like, they'll be explaining it to me and they're like it's just not your thing and I'm like no you're right and I just have to do. Britney Spears has been in the news and been out of it. I'm sorry what? That's the overlap for me. I do care about that one because sometimes she'd be naked with swords. Well, what I was going to say though is like she is only relevant again because she is breaking down in front of us. So it is compelling. That's the word I'm looking for. And so you're right. You should be offering something.

I think some very sad people have figured out this is all they got to offer. And it makes me really fucking that. Yeah. Well, don't hit. Well, you know what does hit? On that, no. He and Drew will be doing shows tonight and tomorrow night, if you watch this when it comes out on Wednesday,
