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.

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

Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's the thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better. and it's called Rocket Money.

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it.

Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.

I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,

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

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

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

I just grew up hanging out with a bunch of elders and I feel very comfortable in that spot. And so therefore, yeah, I've been at bars in Chattanooga, man, when all my friends were getting hit on by like hot chicks and I'm getting hit on by the mom or the grandma. You know what I mean? But like, I'm also giving her the time of day. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not, I'm like all four. Like, dude, I fuck plenty of mammals back in my day.

You know what I mean? Like, dude, I did. I straight up fucked the shit out of some mammals. And like, my, oh, hey, Amber. Amber literally walked in and put Bain in his thing right as I said that. And I was happy to do it. They're the liberal rednecks. They like cornbread and butt 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 well here we are happy 400 everybody yeah show justin for me it's the 400th episode of well read and uh there's only two of us here drew what you know they just didn't rise to the occasion for they're not the level of importance he needs to show up for something he said 400 you know not a big deal to me i got this stuff i rather be doing i got a fight to start at a ymca i'd rather go do that then record the 400th so no i think i think he's got like babysitter problems or something so you know can't be helped you know i actually like now that you mention that maybe it's the him being a dad or something but like

it's kind of been a hot minute since drew has come on here just you know used to dude he would come in hot with some story of whether it could be he almost got stabbed into YMCA or he was on a plane and every single person on the plane was being some type of way except for him conveniently or you know whatever and it's been a minute since that so I don't know if he's like calmed down or if it's just because he's like not traveling as much so it doesn't happen as often I don't know probably little column A little column B you know it's a known thing that having a kick I might chill you out. Yeah, there was, I remember there was a point, at one episode I'd like joke that we were going to have to make it a weekly recurring segment like Drew's run-in of the week or Drew's

confrontation of the week or something. There was like a stretch of weeks where every single week he had he had some story. Yeah. About some dust up he had with another person over something. Every one time he made like an 80-year-old man cry in the parking lot of Trader Joe's. That was one of them. it's so wild man because like and it's just the difference in personalities like drew is more of a confrontational person because like there have definitely been situations there's been multiple situations i've been in where like once i got home i was like man i should have done this and i should have done that and blah blah blah but it's like drew just be doing the thing you know what i mean he'd just be doing it whereas i'm like i'm like very like probably to a fault passive aggressive just like Me too. That Malaney bit where he's like, you can pour soup on my lap and I'll apologize to you. Like I'm very much that way for most things, especially like maybe amongst my friends and family, I'll be confrontational.

But like to strangers, I'm always just like, hey, hey, hey, hey, we're just all trying to get to point A to point B. And as long as I can just get there as quickly and as without pain as possible. But Drew is like, no, no, no, I'm on a quest and I will absolutely take a side quest. I'm much more like you, yeah, but you know, and yeah, I feel that thing you said you get home later, you're like, oh, I should have done that, should have said that.

Do you know there's a French word for that? It's way less common than deja vu, but there's like a French phrase that's Ziqueur? That means it's a l'espri de Scalié. Lesbri de Scalié, which is, and I think I might not be saying it right, but it means the spirit of the staircase. Uh-huh. because the idea is you have a conversation with somebody by the time you get up or down the stairs or whatever you get this day and then you're like then it pops in your head you know oh i should have done that i should have said this but now it's too late i tried to make a bit out of that concept when i was like a year or 18 months in and i'm trying to remember right now what it ended up it was way too complicated and like because i tried to like i tried to make it into like a superpower like if you could have a super power like if you could have a super power

superpower to rewind whatever amount of time that is like just 15 seconds just to fix those types of moments and then imagine how good you'd be on stage and i tried to right and i tried to like act that out act out fucking up and then rewinding time 15 seconds but i didn't go far enough so i landed in the middle of where i fucked up and then i'm that made it even worse like it wasn't like right i made myself say the n word but it was something it wasn't the n word obviously but it was like something like bad where it's like yeah you know i was like oh i shouldn't have said that i rewind time i don't go back far enough i land in the middle and cut myself off and the right thing i was trying to say combined with the old thing i did say made an even new or an even worse new thing yeah and it was just

way too uh you know ambitious and out i know people who uh it's kind of you remember um in billy Madison, Chris Farley's character, the school bus driver, where he keeps saying, he's like, me and her got it on. And then they were like, no, you do. He's like, no, we didn't. But you know, I know people who like, they have those imagined conversations in their head, but then they tell the story as if they did say those things. And then, like, I get towards in and I'm like, are you, so like, really, that really happened? They're like, no, no, no, but it's what I was thinking. But it's like, if I didn't call you out on it, that, you would have went with that. You know what I mean?

You would have went with that. Because we're all fucking geniuses in hindsight, you know. Where do you stand on that whole philosophy of never let the truth get in the way of a good story? When it comes to stand up, I'm 100%. Yeah, sure. Now let me put it on a standup comedy stage. Let me preface it with this. Unless you're libeling somebody.

You know what I mean? Like I think that Hassan Minaj thing. Like Hassan Manage thing. Yeah, yeah. Like the Hassan Manage thing like, no, no, no, dude. you're talking about a real person, and so you can't do that. But like, as far as like, dude, like, okay,

I've got a bit on my special that's like 10, 12 minutes long about going to a VFW and I don't want to give the whole thing away. Please watch my special. And by the way, you can watch my full special at we love Corey.com. It is available there. Watch the full thing. And I would love it if you did. But like the whole thing, all of that basically really did.

happened. Of course, during the 12 minutes of it, I exaggerated. I added a character or two. I put a couple words in some people's mouths or whatever. And like, yeah, like you should do that. Like, you, there's, there'd be no point to what we do if we weren't good at exaggerating and making things better. Like, it's like when you, when you go see a movie and it's based on a true story and someone's like, that's not what happened in real life. And it's like, yeah, because the thing in real life wasn't fucking that good. So they made it better for the movie. You know what I mean? As long as you're not

libeling somebody, I think it's absolutely never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Well, what about so what about when it's your buddy telling your story about some thing that happened to them and they're bullshit and the example you just gave

where someone's like, yeah, so then I told them this and it's like that would have been better if they really did say that, but they didn't really say that. It's the same. It would have been better. So it's like, does that principle apply? Or if you're just talking to a friend and pretending that something really did happen to you, should you not do that? Yeah, but they have to make it more believable.

You know what I mean? Because I know they're bullshit. You know what I mean? Because I'm certain that there's been buddies that have done that to me. And I didn't know they were bullshitting because they were so good at the story that I never poked holes in it. But like, every now and then you've got that buddy who like, he'll start telling this story about this thing that he did. And you're like, bro, I've known you for 30. 30 years. This is the most out of character

that you would never in a million years do that. Don't give me this shit. You know what I mean? But like, yeah, no, I think that you exaggerate, do your thing. But like, but some of them are outright fucking, it can't be an outright lie.

It has to be based on the truth. You just reminded me of something I meant to bring up to both y'all and I forgot, I don't know, maybe I've already asked this if I did it was years ago. You just made me think of it. Did you have a in your school or multiple kids who were like, that was kind of their number one personality trait was that they were an insane pathological liar, like, and everyone knew it.

Like, they told crazy lies. Literally everyone knew that none of it was true, but they did it all the time and would never admit that any of it was a lie. Did you have people like that? Because there was at least three that I can think of in my tiny little high school. And, you know, I mean, it was egregious. Like one dude said he shot Bigfoot, but he got away, right? Like he winged Bigfoot, but Bigfoot regrettably escaped. Like he came this close.

He also said that he found a, he found a cave filled with ancient Indian artifacts and drawings and stuff like out on Pea Ridge. But then a mudslide covered it up. So unfortunately, it was lost to time. So he made the premier archaeological discovery of the 21st century, you know. And then just shit like that, crazy stuff that. everybody listened to him is like, we're, you know,

we're like, bro, come on, dog, but they won't, they won't admit that it ain't true, even though no one believes.

Yeah, because then it unravels the whole thing. But we, we've got a buddy that like, we just stopped being like, come on dog. And we just like, let him go.

And then when he leaves, we'll be like, that one was a doozy. You know what I mean? Like, we've got a buddy who like, swears up and down to all of us and anyone that'll hear that,

like, he was on this, he was on, Georgia's number one AAU select baseball team was scouted by everybody and actually was going to get drafted by the Reds, but he ended up wanting to do something different instead. And like he says this to all of us as if we didn't go to high school with him. Like he weren't there with us all time. He didn't even play high school baseball.

Well, that's particularly. And like, but he will just say. And it's like, so it's almost like, like, but he really believes it. And he believes that we should believe it. And like, I don't understand where his brain goes where it's like, dog, we were that, we were there. Like, if you want to run this line at a bar to a girl, like, I'll be with you right there going, hell yeah, man, yeah, wasn't for your fucking knee, dude, you know, whatever. But like, he'll say it to us.

And there people in his own family will be like, he did not do any of this. Like, we were there. Like, what do you, I mean, what do you think that is? like that's some kind of like insecurity mental illness that like that rises to like the level of a mental illness right like it's definitely a mental illness or like it's a i don't know a symptom of some other i'm just saying that's not just like that goes beyond just like a quirk i feel like yes when it's like that level of lying and they won't admit it even though it's like no one on earth believes a word they say like it's just it's a wild thing it's definitely a symptom of insane insecurity I guess.

And also, like, I think that there's a lot of people who, you know, our generation is kind of, we're that tweener generation. We always talk about it. Whereas, like, we know how to use technology, but we grew up before it. And we grew up before the age of information. So, like, our foundation as children was that you could lie and no one could ever figure out that you weren't telling the truth because there wasn't like Wikipedia and there wasn't, the only way to fact check someone was to go to the first.

fucking library or whatever. And I feel like we just, that was like some, you see it with politicians all the time, especially these older politicians. Like when they first started in the game, the rule of politics was, hey, go up there and say what the fuck ever. And by the time anyone figures out you were lying, the news cycle will be over. But they're not going to be able to call you on it, because how would they find out you were lying? Well, now that we live in the age of information, those dudes are just so conditioned to the old way that they can't get out of it. And they keep saying these things, even though they get fact checked in real life. And I think that happens on like an individual basis where like if you grew up in a certain

time, it was understood that you could fucking just say anything and no one really had the power to call you on it because we didn't have a cell phone that could just go, nope. yeah right that is a good point there was you reminded me of another one there was a a racial version of this that we've talked about on here before when it came up I think because in my the black kids in my school they all had this very particular focus type of this that I'm pretty sure is like a stereotype across the community of course I'm not saying that all black people do this but that like they would claim, you know, famous people was their cousins and stuff. Yeah, right. You know what I mean? Like, you know, like Serena, my cousin or, or Birdman, my cousin, you know,

like that. We had that too, but with members of the band Alabama. Yeah, that's funny. But you, I mean, you really did have, like, that was a Confederate railroad or whatever. There was a Yeah, they're from here. And I mean, Alabama's from Fort Payne, which is right down the road. So, like, a lot of people and the Forster sisters. And, like, you know, there was a couple that you could kind of, claim to. Right. So, I mean, what did you,

I mean, so did you actually know people in the, you know, related to the, them local celebrities you had? Uh, no. I mean, I knew people who said that they were,

but I don't know if they actually were. You know what I'm saying? Like, I, I don't know. Like, like, because supposedly, our superintendent was like third cousins

with Jimmy Buffett. But that's what they used to always say. But like, I never got fact checked on that. Like, we just believed it. you know so they they would get elaborate or there i remember one of them got very elaborate one time with uh i said birdman as a joke i can't remember which one of like the cash money crew

was supposed to be related to the guys i went to school with exactly like i don't think it was little way but one of them you know juv maybe i don't know but uh anyway they would say that and then they had this one piece of evidence right but this goes back to what you were saying a minute ago about not having Google in the internet back then because I've now got it pulled up. I mean, I've known for years the truth of the matter but I have it pulled up right now. There's this song by the hot boys

called Neighborhood Superstar and it got big in Salina because the song hits but also they again submitted it as evidence kind of because there's a line there's a line there where he sounds like he goes it sounds very much

like it's baby who says it. It sounds very much like baby says Salina Tennessee chilling with little Jimmy transport and coke back and forth to my city right now see what I'm about to say is 100%

true when I was in like middle school ish that song came out in 97 so yeah just a year or two before that one day on the lawn of the fucking high school in Salina there was like black helicopters and SUV and shit because the TBI

raided the Freehills and had a big, like, you know, drug bust. Like, and it was always a hill. Yeah, right. And, yeah, Freehills, what it's actually called. It was not what all the papals called it. But, you know, ours either. But anyway, and that, it was in like the Tennessean and everything. It was called Operation Avalanche.

It was a big deal. A whole bunch of people, a whole bunch of dads and uncles and shit got sent to prison for a long time from the Freehills, which obviously, you know, did not hit. But it was like a big, big thing in Salina. And it was this big drug bust. So like they said, again, in the song, it sounds like baby, it sounds like he says Salina, Tennessee. And then they said, they said little Jimmy was one of those uncles who is now in prison.

Right. And then he was like the big, you know, dealer out there, whatever. And the baby was their cutting all this shit. And so, I mean, like, we kind of like bought that. Why wouldn't you? Yeah. You couldn't look on song lyrics back then. What he actually says is flying to Tennessee.

Right. You know, but so anyway, again, never true, but it got pretty elaborate. And that one, like, we almost got kind of sold on. We never really believed, like, Serino or Terrell Davis was their cousins or whatever. Right. But you know what's funny is, like, in your situation, black people are the ones that are feeding into that stereotype and saying it. But, like, that's also a stereotype that white people have for black people is that they all know each other and they're all related. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. It kind of cuts both ways. That is true. That Neil Brennan bit where Yeah, a black guy over here's in rapping and he says the N word. He's like, what the fuck you think you are? He's like, who gave you to pass, whatever? Do you know Jamal?

He's like, oh shit, you must be Neil. But no, I mean, that really is like I've seen that play out. I've seen it happen too. It is funny. I mean, you know, Dave, I mean, it's a tight-knit community, you know. They don't literally all know each other. That's the thing. I've seen it play out so many times.

And I've also seen it play out where. the white person was right. They did know each other, you know what I'm saying? The thing about that is that like, that's not purely just a racial thing. Because like, dude, people, I mean, you know, we've had it like, I'm about to say people will be like, so where are you from again?

I'm from Tennessee. You're like, oh, I got a cousin in Alabama. You know what? You know, like say their name or whatever. And I'm like, okay. Like what? You know, like that people just do that type of thing. It's fun.

I did that with billionaires once. Yeah. But like, they do all know each other. Yeah, there's five of them. Right. Well, there's more than there's more than there should be, but they do all actually know each other. Of course they do. That's a fucking exclusive club. You know what I mean? Like it would be weird if me and you didn't know each other. We're both comedians from the South doing a similar thing. Like it would be expected if somebody like met me and they were like, do you know Trey Crowder? I'd be like, yeah, of course I do. You know what I mean? That wouldn't be effective. But yeah. Anyways, hey, speaking of black people. So I found this interesting. I wish I had the clip.

I saw it like three or four days ago. And then you know that thing where like whatever like every single social media feed has this feature where whatever the thing that you're most intrigued about vanishes the second you go to fucking, you know, like click on it or like I'll see a thing. I'll be like, oh, I'm going to save that. And then it just like refreshes and disappears. So like this dude was talking about how. okay right now i'm asking you how does how does uh when you think of a chuck berry song how does it start i don't know with a hitting guitar let yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah okay well like all of them start exactly that same way like if you go down the line of every chuckberry song they all start

oh so it's not just a hitting guitar just the same one every single time it's it's basically the same one every single time so like ever like there was this guy who was like yeah single goddamn Chuck Barry song. It's like he only knew one lick, right? He does this same thing. Well, this guy was talking about, he had dug up like this old, like, interview with Chuck Barry or whatever. Because aside from that lick, the song ends up sounding different on the guitar or whatever.

Chuck Barry did that on purpose because he wanted as soon as he started for everybody to know, this is a Chuck Barry song. That was his OG producer tag. That was literally like must it on that beat. That was literally that.

So that, that was just him announcing to the world. This is some new Chuck Berry shit. Ain't that crazy? That is crazy. Yeah, that's, yeah. I mean, it makes sense. It's a good idea.

It is, you know, it's nice to have. Yeah, I wonder who the first rap producer was. Was it like, Funkmaster Flex or like, maybe. And all, he just screamed, you know, like, yeah. Yeah, yeah, right.

Yeah, right. right. It's pretty over the top. But it is genius because as soon as you hear that, you go, oh, I know this is going to be. I know who did this. You know who must have did this was nitty. Yeah, it's a nitty beat. Yeah, right.

Clist on that beat. Lil Johns was, uh, yeah, you know. Uh, and then you got if, if young Metro don't trust you, I'm going to shoot you. Uh, and then you got, uh, another one, which is fuck him. Uh, but like, they all have it, but like, it really is effective. Because, like, when I hear musseled on that beat hoe, I'm tuned in. Obviously, not like us was just on a whole other level in every regard. But the fact that it starts out with musset on a beat hoe is like a big part of it.

Because it's just like, as soon as that happens, you're like, oh, this is about to be. And then before you even get to the word hype in your brain, you're like, oh, geez, your mind is blown because it's going so hard. Yes. And then it just keeps going hard the whole time. Yeah, like, I'm glad they do it, honestly, because it changes. for me skipping something. Like, if I hear musset on that beat, I'm like, this is about to be fucking fired.

I wonder if, I wonder if they, you know, because a lot of those dudes, obviously, they're like real serious, like music nerds and shit and no good. I wonder if any of them

are like aware of that, like, you know, that parallel you just drew or if they look at it that way. You know what I mean? Like, if they look at it's like,

I'm doing that Chuck Barry thing. That's what he used to do. Like he kind of. I hope so. He kind of started that. Yeah, I don't know. I just,

I looked up like pathological liars. Maybe I've got trying to figure out what's up with that. I found this article it says, lying is a common feature of social interactions among humans. This behavior even occurs in some animals such as monkeys, right? And that reminded, that reminded me of, actually, I don't know why I didn't think of this before,

but reading that reminded me of, I finally read that book, Sapiens. You've read that book? Yes, I have. By you, his name starts with the Y. God damn it. He's got another one out now that I want to read. But yeah, Sapiens fucked me up, dude.

That whole passage of how, like, you know, there were, we are homo sapiens, but, like, there were all different types of Sapiens and basically we just were the ones that murdered all them. Yeah. Youvall Harari. You've all Harari. Yeah, yeah. All his shit's really good. He's Israeli, which is fine.

So, it is fine with me. Drew was here, he probably would be like, fuck that guy. But anyway, yeah, well, he makes the case in that book, as you know, since you've read it, that, like, that what you just said, there was all these other types of early humans and stuff and perhaps the thing that separated homo sapiens from all the rest and put us on top was our ability to lie the way that, or specifically our ability to make things up, which is like just another version of lying, but to believe things that aren't. true because that allowed us to find ways, mechanisms to ban humans together, like share

belief systems and religions or types of government, like a clan and the hierarchy of the clan. This guy's the chief. It's like, that guy's just a guy, right? But if we all agree that he's the chief and the chief is in charge, but that's just a made up thing. That whole, just like we all believe that a dollar is worth a dollar. Right. And it's just, right.

It's all completely made up. And so like our ability to. make things up was the thing that like set us apart from everybody else in the first place, which is pretty wild to think about it. Yeah, I mean, that book, I could see why that book was such a huge thing because there's so many times and it's so many things in it where you're like, holy shit, you know, like that really doesn't make a lot of sense. It blew my fucking mind. And I think that this was in this book. And if not, it's a book that I read that was like based on my suggestions of having read Sapiens, but it was basically making

the case for like our advanced anxiety and stuff in today's, culture and stuff like that where it's like it's like first off look depression and anxiety are not some new phenomenon it's been going on forever but like the explanation as to like why it might be more rampant you've got a couple things number one more people are being diagnosed right it was just like when there was COVID it was like oh there's more COVID cases well more people are getting tested right so you can go with that but also I believe it was him that made the case of like surround if you go before the industrial revolution right throughout humanity, all of our advances happened at such slow paces that our brains had time to evolve to adjust to them, right?

You know, the workload or whatever. And so the Industrial Revolution comes along and all of a sudden we are thrown into a way more fast-paced world, but our brain hasn't had time to adjust to what? No more just prairie, must do that, you know, whatever. And now, if you look at it now, it's even worse because, like, in the past 20 years, we've advanced exponentially so fucking much. And we have to retain so much more knowledge. And we have so much more going on, whether it be like, I got to have five jobs, I got to have this. Me and you just, if you just look at comedy-wise, like when we first started doing comedy, it was write joke, get on stage, tell joke.

Now we've still got to do that. But also, learn to edit, learn to Photoshop, learn to Photoshop, learn to. blah, blah, blah, all this stuff. And everything has happened exponentially so much that the human brain hasn't had time to evolve whatever neurons it needs to be able to store the capacity that we need. And therefore, there's more mental illness, there's more anxiety, there's more suicides. And we are losing our collective fucking minds because our brain is essentially the same as it was post industrial revolution, but more is being put. put into it. I don't remember if that exact thing is in

Sapiens or not, but what I do remember about Sapiens, it would make sense if that is in Sapiens because a massive theme of the book, an argument he comes back to time and time again and consistently makes is that every major leap in human advancement was bad

for almost everyone. It was that it was being agriculture. It benefited like a very few people tremendously. Like, you know, I had to, with incoming inequality and we got, you know, 5% of the world's population controls 90% of the wealth or whatever it is like that. It's like it's literally always been like that. Right. And like, so each big advancement would benefit a small percentage of people, but most people,

their lives got tremendously worse. And now look, I, some of those, I hear you. But the one about like when we went from nomads, like hunter gatherer nomads to like being able to stay in the same place because farms existed or whatever. I don't know that I'm with him on that because like they got it you know by tigers and stuff and fucking like they was like still part of the wild. I don't think

maybe that's just me. Maybe I'm just way too domesticated but it's like sometimes people bring up pets and stuff like that or even like zoos. Part of me is always like I don't know dude. They seems like pretty cush. As long as you got like a good owner, master, zookeeper, whatever like if you're

taking care of, I bet they are the envy of all the wild animals probably because they're not fighting for their life every single goddamn day. You know what I mean? They just get to chill. If I remember that passage, humans were not chilling, but I just think that, I don't know. I don't think that that type of advancement, that one was a stretch for me in my head. But the other ones, though, I could see where he was coming from. But I do like video games and stuff. So it still hits for me. Well, if I remember that passage or that chapter correctly, one of the arguments to be, made was that like there was a time when everyone just took care of themselves you know and it was

just like look you had your family you took care of yourselves and then we started to get food every day and it's like we've always been like kind of pack small packs there'd be like said family groups there'd be a little a little cluster of yeah i don't know up to 10 humans or something who were like a family or two families together and they collectively like the women pick the berries the dudes fight the mastodons or whatever they do that and then you just you know, sit around the fire and grunt and then go to sleep at night. And that's all you do. Right, right. But then as soon as like it got into like, oh, we're going to have bigger villages and, hey, instead of us all taking care of our own, what if we had one person that did one thing and one person

that did this thing and then we'll barter? And that's how, you know, obviously we talked about it on putting on air is how money was created and like, well, I've got these strips. This is where like, because we got to figure out how many sheep is worth whatever. Well, if we convert them into the these like tabs of whatever. Well, basically what it turned out was these, so these farmers like, okay, now you're in charge of food for the entire village. Well, he's farming like he always has, but he's farming extra hard. And this is like the first time in history when like chronic pain started taking over

individuals because they were being overworked. So like it was good for the masses, but not for the individual. You know what I'm saying? like we because like to get the it's like oh you don't have to keep it up with the Joneses you don't have to hunt for food anymore because we've learned how to grow it but growing it is a real pain in the ass and only that guy's doing it right right and he's doing it for more and more people to make more and more money but then you know now he's got slaves and it's slaves that's

doing it and that don't have for them obviously and that's the thing too about that whole like I get I get on a macro scale how it's like for humanity these leaps have really made us worse off but I still still am a believer. And generally speaking, like, fewer people are, like, suffering horribly and dying in the mud, you know, today than were 200 years ago and fewer people were doing it then than they were 500 years before that. Like, I still think it's mostly better for most people, I think. A lot of people, it sucks for, for sure, but, you know, I don't think it's as bad as, No, no, no, I don't either.

You know what I mean? I do you, like, poor people, trailer park, denizens and stuff in this country. Like, I think they've got it better than like medieval peasants and stuff. Of course, man. Right. So, you know. I think that we focus too much, maybe not too much, but like when we're reading stuff like this, we're always focusing on the transitional period.

And in transitional period, shit is horrible because you're going from an old way to a new way and nobody's caught up. But I think that, like, eventually the ship writes itself. And it's like, all right, now that. this is the way, this is clearly better. You know what I mean? Yeah. Do you know a lot of them old skeletons and shit from way back,

they had like immaculate teeth because they ain't eat any sugar at all and like that? But I'm saying like candy bars hit, right? And now we have fluoride. Right. Yeah. The ship ends. You don't want to trade candy bars just, you know, for everybody out of hitting teeth. And that was that transitional period.

But between candy bars and this, they didn't have the fluoride and know how to take hair of their teeth and shit like that. But once those two length, it's like now we can have both, you know? Because as we've said a million fucking times, dude, like, it, the car is awesome. It hits so hard to have a car. If all of a sudden tomorrow we didn't have cars or any mode of transportation, we would be fucked. But in that transitional period, there was a lot of people who worked in horses who shot themselves through the fucking head because their industry was completely depleted. You You know what I'm saying? Of course it's better off for us now.

But in that transitional period, there was a lot of carriage makers who were like, what the fuck am I going to leave my son? You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah, it did not hit. Listen, just switch up a little bit because I wanted to tell you this story this week. Well, let's take a break and we'll be right back right after this. How about that?

Okay. All right, and we're back. So I had something I think will hit for you happen this week. Well, I mean, you actually already know at least part of it. Actually, I think you know all of it. but I'm going to tell it here for the audience's sake. But also, if you're a Patreon member of mine and you heard me talking about it too, or if you're at my shows in Fort Wayne, Indiana, you heard me talk about this there too.

Because this way happened to me, not a word of a lie, no exaggeration. Every bit of this is true. And it's the first time I've had something like this. And I'm wondering if you have to. I feel like you probably, it's just like a very show story to me. Okay. So I got to Fort Wayne, Indiana. I'd never been there before.

I don't know anything about. Do what? Fart Wayne. Fart Wayne. Fart Wayne. I got to Fart Wayne, Indiana. And I don't know anything about it. it never been there and ended up making a pretty funny first impression that i do believe will be lasting even though i think it's probably completely random what happened was i get to my hotel

which the club summit city comedy club shout out to them uh they're part of one of my favorite chains of clubs the bark clubs you know uh like skyline and the one in louisble and oh yeah i love them town yeah those are great they're great they're great great they're great they got the hidden screen rooms they're always ran well so anyway yeah summit city is one of those Shout out to them. Fellers there. Also, Bobby de Manager, go vals. Anyway, I get there on Friday.

I go to my hotel room. I check in. It's busy as hell. Because the club, they put me up in like, you know, the Hittness Hotel in Fort Wayne. It's called the Bradley. So, you know, it's in Fort Wayne. It ain't the walled off Astoria, but it's a. No, but any hotel that's named the something, yeah.

It is a nice hotel. So they put me up there. I get there, and it's popping in. there. There's all these like young people in tuxedos and chicks. There's a bunch of weddings in town. There's some kind of business convention in town. And also there's some very well-dressed old people like bunches of them running around, right? So I'm like, God, and I'm just annoyed at all this because I'm like, I hate when people are at hotel. I know. It's like, I know it's a hotel and that's all purpose of it. But I'd rather it be on the verge of shutting down because I'm the only person in here.

If I, like, if I was the only person in the entire hotel building, that would hit so hard for me. so many times that all of my favorite bars don't exist anymore because they were my favorite bars because I was the only one. Because they were empty, right? Yeah, exactly. So it was like that. It was popping. And I walk in, I check in, I get on the elevator.

And there's these two old ladies standing there. When I say old, I mean, I'm talking like, I mean, I know exactly how old they are and that'll make sense in a minute. You can tell by looking at them. I mean, they're in there like 70s. I'm not talking middle-aged women. I'm talking mammal-aged, right? Yeah.

And they're both holding drinks, cocktails from the bar, they're in the elevator. And I get in and I say, four, please, because I'm on floor four. And one lady who's pushing the button, turned around and looks. And she's like, oh, you're on floor. You're on the fourth floor too, huh? And I was like, yeah.

And she was like, which room? I was like, what? She was like, which room are you in? I was like, I don't know. I guess we'll see, you know, whatever. And she was like, yeah, what are you doing here? Whatever? She's just real saucy.

And then the other lady hears me talking, her friend. And she looks up and she, And she's like, she's like, wait, are you, are you, Trey, are you Trey Crowder? I was like, yeah, yeah, you coming to see me this weekend? She's like, no, no, hadn't heard a word about it. Had heard a fucking word about it.

Yeah, yeah. But she's like, no, no, we're in town because it's our 55-year high school reunion. Wow. So they're 73, right? As hell they are. So it's 55-year high school reunion. And when she recognizes me, the first lady, the saucy ma'amol is like, how do you know him? What, are you famous?

Are you a movie star? Are you, what kind of famous? Yeah, like that stuff. I swear to God, is what you said. Are you a character actor? Yeah, right. Yeah, well, the story gets even wilder in that regard later. But, and I was like, you know, I was like, no, you're going to be disappointed.

Don't even, don't even let me up. It's fine, whatever. But she's just like really, really flirting hard. And then it's like, then my hotel room is before theirs. Like, we've gotten off the elevator walking down the hall and we come to mine first. And there was, in my head for a brief second, I was like, should I keep walking? Yes, you should have.

Right? And, but I was like, no, that's crazy. Like, it's inside, you know, they're fucking mammals, you know. So I stopped. I was like, well, this is me. And she, like, made a note of it. She had made a point to, like, look at the room number. And she was like, when I get bored or a little drunker later,

I'm going to be knocking on your door. That's what she told me. And I was like, all right. I'll see you later. And then, so I leave and I go to the club and I come back. Later that night, it's about 11 o'clock after my shows. Show did hit. it, yeah. And then I get there and I see her in the lobby, still holding, you know, another drink.

And I like dip behind this column in the lobby and like pull my phone out and pretend to be on. I'm like ducking a drunk mammal, right, which is wild because I just don't want to, I don't want to run into her. Right. So I'm like, I'm like sneakily picking around making sure she don't see me and stuff. Because I don't want to have to shoot down on my mom's advances, you know. And she finally gets on the elevator and goes up. And I was like, okay. cool. I walk over to the elevator and now there's just a papaw standing there. Right. And I was like, okay, well, this will be fine. Yeah. It's just me and a papaw. So we get in the elevator. And I was like, four, please. And he was on five. But he was like, he was like, okay, you got. And he looked at me for a minute. And then he goes, uh, you know, if you'd like, you could catch, you could buy me a drink at the bar tomorrow.

I was like, oh yeah, I was like, oh yeah, I was like, who knows? I mean, you might see me down there, you might not, I don't know, and then he goes, and this is the insane part that I referenced earlier, the lady asked me if I was a movie star. I swear to God, this guy said, he said, really? I can't believe a young life athletic man like you would go to a bar, a hotel bar. And I was like, oh, yeah, well, I'm a dirt bag, you know, whatever. and then the elevator dinked and I got off and I didn't see either one of them again after that but I just I got hit on very overtly by a mammall and a papal yeah in the same day and so like in my

head the first that's the way read experience buddy yeah so in my head I was like Fort Wayne you know horniest old people on earth like that's what the that's what the first impression is that's what I'm always going to think of when I think of Fort Wayne and yet you're right that is true that like that has happened a million times at shows like in meet and greet light i mean that happened the next day in the meeting great line this man ma'amall came up and a fan of mine at the show in the meeting greet line came up and asked me how big my dick was yeah i can't believe she didn't grab it they usually grab our dicks so like right to be clear that happens all the time in the context of it's a meet and greet line after a show and it's drunk people who are fans of mine or ours but these both of these

people did not know who I was. The one lady found out who I was, but they didn't know who I was, and we're in the wild. We're not at the show. I've told you you look good, dude. I'm just saying, like, but it's, it's that it's, it's a mamaw and a papal show. Yeah, it is weird. I mean, what are the odds of that? Also, also, here's the thing.

With the mamma, I get it. But, like, because you do, you know, mamma, listen, women are, okay, Women always be like, oh, we're just as horny as men. And that may, listen, that may be true. I've never been in your body. I don't know. But I will say that you will not go to the links that we will go to and you're not as foul. But like, old mammas, they don't give a fuck, whatever.

But like, that guy, okay, he don't know that you're cool. Yeah. Right. Like, you're not giving off any, I'm gay, whatever. and like you're also very loudly a redneck. I know, yeah. I mean, yeah, I thought about that too. Not to disparage my own people, but like,

it's, if I was a gay person and I heard somebody with an accent, I wouldn't immediately assume this person's into me flirting with them in a sexual manner. So that's actually fucking bold as fuck. Yeah. And I respect it. They got no fucks to give. They're going for it. So he didn't know you?

No. I mean, if he did, he gave no indication that he did. Right. And then, but, um, is it the glasses? I had my contacts in. Uh, so. There's nothing about you that seems gay, except for what you believe and how you act and like all that stuff.

Yeah. I, I don't know, but I, I, part of me thought that like, new shirt. 55 years. Of course not. Yeah. Was it the green one? No, I, I retired the green one, but what I did was I replaced it with another shirt that now I just wear all the time and people.

Do you throw it away? No, no, no. still have it. But people have started, send it to me. People have started noticing the, like, new shirts in the repertoire. You know what I mean? Yeah. So, you know, whatever. I'll just have to take some chip for that and then cycle it to eventually.

But, um, oh, I felt like part of it might be, you know, dude, they're all like, they're all fucking young again this weekend. Yeah, of course. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. High school, you're in 55 year. First of all, you know a lot of them got to be dead. Oh, yeah. Most of them.

I mean, percentage wise. Again, they're all 70. So the ones that are still kicking, I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure they probably tore it to, I know they tore it to fuck up that weekend. They were all dressed to the nines, too. So I thought every one of them. I feel like they were like money to old people, you know. Yeah, they got the money to travel to the thing. And are you going to go to your 55th? I barely, I called in for five minutes to my 20 year or two weeks ago.

So, yeah, I was about to say my 20 years coming up and, and it seemed to be a, if any of y'all are listening up, don't take this wrong. I mean, I called it. It took place over hours. Bars was during the daytime. They were going to have a separate. They were going to have like a party at nighttime, too, I reckon. But there was like, dude, Salina, you know, it's small town, conservative. Everybody's got kids and shit now.

And it's like, but still me, I would be like, if I was around, I'd be like, no, let's fucking, let's get drunk and throw down, right? Which I bet is what your class is probably going to do. But no. Really? y'all ain't like that i feel like all your friend i've only made chickamoggins through your friends and they're all fucking drunks and shit they are they are but our class president is a strict nazarin and he's the one that sets it up now okay all right so i had to fight it right me and a coalition of dudes for our 10 year reunion he was like we're gonna do this thing but no alcohol no alcohol whatsoever and every and everyone was like we got on an email chain and everybody was like bro um it's fine that those are your beliefs or whatever, but like you do want people to come, right? Right. Also, we're all

adults now. You're all adult. Like you can't tell us not to do that. Right. Well, he was going to have it at a public space that he rented out or whatever and I guess you could just not have a bartender, but like we compromise with like, let's go to a minor league baseball game and get like a little

box area or whatever. And that way, if people want to drink, they can and whatever. So that's what we did. But like, no, our, he's the only motherfucker in our class that don't drink, which I guess is why he got elected president. I don't fucking know. But, you know,

whatever. What's funny about that? Because it is supposed to be, traditionally, it is supposed to be the class president who handles that shit forevermore, like the reunions. Which is insane. Right. But what's funny about that also is like, and they knew it at the time. I remember them saying it back there. Like, the president

and vice president of my class, all four years of high school was Thompson and me. Thompson was president and I was the vice president. And me and him, they don't, they never even asked us to do any of because they knew they all, when I say they, I mean the responsible girls that were in our grade. And I remember they even saying back then they were like, obviously we're going to be the ones that has to do all of this or whatever. They ain't even. Yeah, no one's ever even brought.

They like assumed I wouldn't come, which I didn't come to the tenure. And again, I called that a Zoom thing. You could call it. So I called into this one, but just for like five minutes and that was it. But yeah, the only reason I. I mean, if I was around, I mean, I would go. Like, I think if I was in your position, I'd feel too bad about not going. I'd at least go by, I think.

I wasn't going to go to the 10-year because by like, like, you know, I've told you a million times in high school when we graduated, they do like the senior prophecies or whatever. And the one that they gave me was, in 10 years, Corey Forster will be practicing his stand-up comedy routine in rehab. Ha, ha, ha, everyone laughed. And so I wasn't going to go because at the time, I was doing. You were in that position?

I was in that position. Yeah, that's so funny. Two weeks before my class reunion, we signed that book deal. And I was like, let me right through. So, like, I went. Yeah. So, yeah, in 20 years, I'm hoping I can bring like an Emmy or so. Oh, wow, that's coming up.

I got to win an Emmy. I got to win an. Although I've written another book since then. What are you talking about? You predicted yourself in your book? You made the prediction you'd have an Emmy. No, no, no, I'm saying, like, I only want to go to these things if my life is doing better than what they thought it should be. And I don't think I can ride out that first, like, I think I need to do more things.

You know, I need some substantial hardware. Yeah, I hear you. I'll go. Well, see, me, I was thinking, you know, I was also, I was thinking, like, you know, my head was like, yeah, eight years ago. You know, right. It was red hot, but eight years later, and I'm doing all the same stuff, you know, and I ain't had a TV show or whatever. I was feeling like that about it, but they were all still like, you know, like today, you know,

they were like bringing their kids over and being like, this is true. He's famous. That type of thing. Yeah, I mean, we still hit harder than they do. I'm just saying, but yeah. But, yeah, but anyway, I mean, have you ever had a mamma try to fuck you in the wild or a papal or both? I know, well, the pap, I know there's a. If you're not counting well-read shows, because well-red shows, again, like, guys, I can't.

And I know we've said this to death, too, but, like, obviously, it is different on account of if I wanted to, I could beat the shit out of these mammals. But, like, all the things that you've just said, if you reverse the rolls, it is not good. Like, if you're a young girl and some old man is like, I'm going to be knocking on your door. It is not good. And like we've had at well-read shows like women just grab my ass, grab my dick, grab. And again, I'm not, okay, I'm not complaining. Now I'll say this, like I'm not going to sit here and act like it always hit for me too

because it made me feel super uncomfortable because I'm like, what am I supposed to do? Like what am I? I'm just sitting here getting my dick grab. Also, I would be like, bitch, they're taking a picture right now. And that picture is going to be on the internet and like you can gleam from that whatever you want. but I've definitely I've always had a certain charm

with older women and I always chalk it up to the fact that I was churubic Cherubic yeah they love the pinch cheeks and you got the most pinchable cheeks in the game. That's true but also I just know I've always known how to talk to them because my you know my granny

who basically helped raise me she was 68 when I was born So there was never a moment when she wasn't, you know, older. Yeah, right. Exactly. You just pissed a lot of people off. What, no, no, you said there was never, I mean, like, I just mean by the time you were like, you know. Yeah, she was always in her 70s.

Right. Yeah. Right. By the time you were in high school, she was in her 80s already. Yeah, right. I'm pushing 40. My Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma'am just died at 85 this year. Right, right.

You know, when I was in high school, Ma'amaw was, you know, the age, you're at Matt Granny was when you were born. Exactly. Was it technically your great-grandma though? Did I have that wrong? Technically, my great-grandma, but my mom's mom is a huge piece of shit and, you know, all that. And I hope she died. Well, for a great-grandma, that's all perfectly in line. Oh, of course it is.

You know, age-wise. Yeah, of course it is. I'm just saying that because of that, and she was my best friend. I loved her. I hung out with her a lot. And so that meant I was at, I went to church with her. I went to, I actually didn't, I usually didn't go to my own Sunday school class. I went to her Sunday school class because I wanted to be with her.

They were the grace class. That was the old people have a Sunday school class? Everybody does. Adults have a Sunday school class? Yeah, everybody does. I thought Sunday school was just for the kids. No, no, no, no, no. There's, you guys.

What the fuck is the point? I don't, I thought Sunday school was just like bring kids up to speed on the Lord and stuff. Sunday school is just before church. It's like the pre-church thing. I knew it was a pre-church thing, but I always thought it was a kid's thing. They make you do that your whole life. What are they teaching 60-year-olds who've been going to Sunday school their whole life? And how is it any different from the church part of church?

Well, I think that first off, you don't have to go. There were plenty of people who didn't go to Sunday school. They just went to the service. You know what I mean? Yeah. But there were some, it was more like you were just a little tight-knit community. And so, like, for the kids, it was like, you know, the kids go to Sunday school and maybe they preach you the word with the bent of like,

here's how kids can understand it. And then with the Sunday school class, it was really more about community. Like, they would just, like, they would go there and they would read scriptures, but they would also, like, do things for each other. They'd probably spend half the time reading the goddamn obituary. You know what I mean? They would, like, pray for each other. And, like, it was just more of, like, a localized thing.

Like, when we go to the church, it's the preacher talking to all of us. But in here, we can really focus on each person's individual needs. if you need to talk to the group about something, we can be there for you. You know what I mean? But I would always go to hers, which was the Grace class. And I loved it.

I loved the old women. They were hilarious. They always had all the candy. They loved me. I grew up going to the beauty shop with my grandmother. And I just learned, I don't know, like I've always loved older women

and I don't talk to them in the way that a lot of, you know, a lot of people talk to old people like their children. Like, I've never done. that. I've never done that. Like, I've always just been like, if I could say it to you, I could say it to her. And I think they really respect that. And I don't know, I've just always had a way with them and also, like, a large respect for them because, like, I just grew up hanging out with a bunch of elders.

And I feel very comfortable in that spot. And so therefore, yeah, I've been at bars in Chattanooga, man, when all my friends were getting hit on by, like, hot chicks and I'm getting hit on by the mom or the grandma. You know what I mean? But, like, I've been at bars. I'm not. But, like, Like, I'm also giving her the time of day. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not, I'm like all four. Like, dude, I fucked plenty of mammals back in my day. You know what I mean?

Like, dude, I did. I straight up fucked a shit out of some mammals. And, like, my, oh, hey, Amber, Amber literally walked in and put Bain in his thing right as I said that. And I was happy to do it. I was happy as hell to do it. As a matter of fact, if Amber was to leave me, I'm going straight back to fucking mammals.

You know what I mean? Right. But like, yeah, I've been hit on by mammals a lot. But I do think it's the, I think it's the cherubic cheeks or whatever. But then like, I'll also give them a little bit of like, I was like, oh, man, I'll tell you what. So, yeah, celebrating, what is your 45th birthday? Boom. Over.

Ballgame. Done. But I love, I love older women, dude. I love older women. I love older men, too. They're hilarious. What about papal? Never fucked a papal.

Not saying I wouldn't. That's just not the way I swing. You know what I mean? But yeah, no, I get along with, actually, matter of fact, I was just talking to one of my best friends who, like, I don't mean, like, one of my best older friends. I mean, I consider him one of my best friends,

and he's 76 years old. And we were having a conversation. He's having some health troubles or whatever. And, like, because I was always, like, when I started comedy, I was, like, 16, well, all the dudes, the comedian, the real comedians were in their 40s and 50s, right? Well, I'm still friends with these people, and now they're in their 70s.

And my dad was also, like, when he got into marketing, he was the young guy and he became friends with, like, when my dad was 20, some of his best friends were these 50-year-old marketing vets. And, like, now he's having to bury all of them. And, like, me and a couple of them were having, like, these heart to hearts of, like, how difficult that is because they went through the same thing of, like, you know, it's great to have older friends because you basically get, you know, another, like I have a lot of father figures in my life. Not that I mean, my dad's great, but like a lot of my friends, they became like father figures because they were so much older than me.

But now I'm getting 30, which means they're getting 70 and 80. And like I'm having to deal with like one of my best friends calls me and tells me that they have prostate cancer and are in the early stages of all. Alzheimer and that's weird for a 37 year old to deal with, but I've always just like, I have an old soul and so like I've always gravitated towards older people. In a call on a cultural scale too, a lot of people have pointed this out. It's like, because I feel like pop culture, as we sort of know it today, only really kind of exploded into what it is in the last century, which means that like there's a shitload of massive superstars that are like all going to start, well, they already have started.

They're all going to be dying off over the next 10 to 20 years. It's going to be pretty well. I mean, it already is wild, but it's like, it didn't really, of course, you know, I'm sure like, I don't know, maybe I just say that because I wasn't around for it. Like, I'm sure with Charlie Champlin died, that was a big deal, Buster Keaton, whatever. Like, I get that. But like, like, the modern era of like pop culture, superstardom in both cinema and music, musicians and all that.

they all are getting old and like soon they there won't be too long they're all gone i also thought it's weird it's like just about all the w w2 veterans are gone or people that live through that are gone and it's like i remember you know when saving private rind came out in 98 right when i was 12 years old yeah those people were like 70 you know they weren't that old they had they they had interviews with real veterans that were air before and after before or after the screening right and it's like they weren't that old they were like my papal's age or whatever you know what i mean they We're not, and now, you know, they're pretty much all dead. There's a few of them that are still hanging on, but they're a hundred years old and it won't be long.

And then, yeah, then it's going to happen to all the, you know, all these beloved superstars. Oh, you're right. Like, before long, though, I'll be. And, of course, there will be new ones. There already are new ones, but it's still going to be kind of wild. Like, well, you mentioned, like, Chaplin and all them. And, like, that's obviously all true. But, like, that was, they predate, like, the superstar, like, the culture of the culture of the

superstar. Like you had those, but like, yeah, like, you know, a lot of these people like, dude, Tom Hanks, man. Tom Hanks is getting up there. And there are these people that we've grown up with that like they, it almost feels like there can't be a time without them because they're not really people. They're institutions. You know what I mean? They're institutions. Like I feel like, dude, Mel Brooks, God bless his soul, he's 99. Like, I can't imagine a world without him in it. But one day I will have to be in that world. And I can't like that really sucks because it just seems like he should always be here, you know? And like, but yeah, they're dropping like flies.

But again, it makes sense because like those people became superstars when Hollywood really exploded. And that was 70 fucking years ago. So like, you know, rock stars too. You know, like Mick Chagher's old as fun. Right. Like the Rolling Stones. I just saw them like two or three years ago.

And they're still rocking. But dude, they are old. Paul McCartney too. Saw him in the past. I mean, that was like seven years ago now. Seinfeld's like 72. Right. Yeah.

Right. Exactly. It's wild, dude. It's crazy. How old is Chris Rock? Like, he's not. He's got to be 60. He's got to be in his 60s, right?

I would say so. He's 59. Yeah. And that's wild because to me, he's still a young guy. Yeah, well, you know, black don't crack. He do look good. I know, but like he just still seems like being of the age we are where he was a young renegade, he always will be.

that to me. Like, he's still like, you know, the 90s will always be, you know, that was like 10 years ago. 10 years ago, right. Like, prior and Carlin, those are the old guys and Chris Rock's a new pioneer. And like, dude, Chappelle's old as fuck. And like, it's, it's really, it's really bizarre, man. And like, you know, like I said, being, being in the industry as we are like, you get to, like, I don't know.

Like, dude, okay, just to be little inside baseball, like Earl is one of my best friends. That motherfucker's 25, 30. years older than me. You know what I mean? Like, I hate thinking about that. But that just like, that just is what it is. And, uh, and yeah, like, oh, the thing that hit me the most was like, um, uh, uh, oh my God, French connection. 21 years older than you, looks like. French connection, um, Gene Hackman. Gene Hackman. Right. He's a, he's, he's, he's one of the ones I was thinking of because he got, he got photographed in public recently. And it's like, yeah. And he, he, people are like, God damn, but it's like he's fucking 92 or three or whatever he is.

And it's like he, yeah, he looks like he looks like the fucking Cripkeeper. He look old as fuck because he is, you know. It's like that time between like, you know, we talk about how the 90s seems like 10 years ago. Well, like, dude, 2004 was yesterday, right? So when I think of Gene Hackman, I'm like, yeah, I remember he was in Welcome to Mooseport or whatever. And it's like, that was 25 years ago and he was a 60 year old man. So like, no fucking shit. It's like, what the fuck?

And then rest in peace, Bob Newhart or whatever. But like, I'll tell you what, we've talked about nothing but death for the past like three episodes. You can tell it's really getting to us. I know. I was actually thinking that last night. I was watching something. I can't remember what it was. It made me think about it.

I was like, man, I've really been wearing that on my sleeve lately. Like, it's very clear to people that I'm not coping well with aging. And I'm not, dude. It's fucking me. For me, as I've said, repealing and really a huge part of it for me is my children like my children getting so much the fact that they're not little anymore they're like their visual representations of age like teen that they're this close to teenager doing and all that shit and I just can't handle that so that's a big part of it before bane i never

considered my age or anything like that but now every time he gets a new tooth i'm like that's a visual representation of time and like you know what but by the way i think that we're handling it because most people just don't even talk about it. You know what I mean? Like at least we get a divorce and buy a fucking Corvette or whatever. Yeah, like at least we're chit-chatting about it. But anyways, well, Trey, plug your stuff. Come see me in Dallas this weekend.

Donnie Singstack will be with me. We're at the Improv in Dallas. And I'm taping these shows, not all of them.
