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 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 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 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.

Skee.
Well, well, well.
With some joke about Waffle House, I don't even remember it, but it crushed me.
But I won by impersonating him.
He was like shitting on you about probably your love for Waffle House or something.
Yeah.
Hold on.
Are we rolling?
We are rolling.
We are turning the sound off on this game.
That's quite true.
We don't have the express written consent of the National Football League.
That's true.
I'm sure you can't hear it, but yeah.
yeah it'd be a miracle if we could hear that
god matt ryan looks like a little bitch in that huge jacket
it'd be funny if we could hear that and we can never hear tray
right
matt ryan went to bc while i was in law school there
they were number two in the nation at one point had beat virginia tech
were undefeated and no one gave a shit in that town
because it was the height of boston professional sports
yeah and lord they were insufferable yeah
there it is
i went to uh i think we've talked about this before but i'm
Georgia played Boston College in the Outback Bowl, I think.
It was the Outback Bowl or the...
No, it was a Music City Bowl, like 2002 or something.
And I went to the game with my...
I guess I would call them at the time.
My stepbrother, Jason.
And we went, and there were some Boston College fans there,
and we sat amongst them.
And nobody...
Yeah, like, there was no shit talking.
They were just like, we're just happy to be here.
Who gives a fuck?
Corey, do you know what a stepbrother is?
Yeah, that's the same one of the big stepbrother.
I'm just saying I don't, he live with y'all?
He lived with us for like a year and a half, two years, and we, you know, we had a brother.
Okay, well, whatever.
Okay.
I had one of them.
His name was Dougie.
My brother called him Doug the Thug.
He was the best athlete at Sunbright, including me.
We were one game for being state champs in junior high basketball.
He was incredible, but then, you know, he kept getting in trouble.
He didn't want to live with us because my dad had rules.
Sure.
What happened to Doug the Thug and Jason?
He went to prison.
Yeah.
Jason's fine.
I mean, he's, he, Jason is the one I told you.
y'all.
Doug, he's out now for the record.
Including national championship, this year, including bowl games.
He has been to every Georgia game since 1998, I think.
Like, it's, you know, that's a shit-fuck ton of games.
He's been to every single goddamn one of them.
So by Corey's...
Away games, too.
So by Corey's standards, he is crushing at life.
Yeah, he is.
Man, I feel, man, maybe we should delete Doug's name out.
Nah, whatever.
I mean, I can't, if you just remind me, I will.
Well, anyway.
He's in jail?
No, he's out now.
He's doing all right.
He's got kids.
He sees me doing well.
He's happy.
He's smiling.
I don't know what to say.
I feel uncomfortable.
I brought it up.
I feel like I was talking shit about him.
I'm sorry.
Everybody makes mistakes.
What do you know?
Nothing.
I don't know shit.
I don't tell him on nobody.
About Ed Hockely.
That is a guy whose name, I don't think I knew how to pronounce it until I heard you say it.
Okay.
Isn't he?
No, I'm thinking of Ed Bagley, Jr.
I don't know anything about Ed Hockyley.
Ed Hocky is the jacked NFL ref.
He's far in a way the most famous NFL referee.
Do you know anything else about him besides that?
I know that there's some quirkiness, but I forget what it is.
And doesn't he also have a charity?
Maybe.
He probably has a charity, but here's what I knew that I've read or heard a while ago now
that NFL referees, like none of them, that's all such a side hustle for all of them.
Yeah, a lot of them are longer.
Which is a great side hustle because it's like $200,000 a year.
And most of them are, yeah, I think a couple of them are like surgeons and shit,
but a lot of them are lawyers.
And I knew that Ed Hockley was a lawyer.
Well, that's all I knew.
He's a, everybody listening,
we are in Phoenix, Arizona right now
for a weekend to stand up live in Phoenix,
and it hits.
It's awesome.
Phenomenal Club.
Everybody should go during any show.
Here in downtown Phoenix,
his, is, uh, the law firm of like,
Stark, Bronston, and Hoculie.
And it's a fucking high-rise building or whatever,
his name on it.
Google that looked it up.
There's,
there's 80,
associates there or whatever
like and he's
a partner so that means
that like he is a
supreme hitter in that arena
right I mean if that like like
he's insanely loaded
yeah if you're a partner in a law firm
in a city the size of Phoenix
and you have a building downtown you're sure
you're a multi-millionaire his company alone
is probably worth two or three hundred million right
right and then the 200 grand he makes
just being an NFL
real it's literally gravy for him
Right.
Like he's to the level where he makes his money off investments and his kids are going to get his money.
But we were talking about how wild it is.
Like, you know, Tom Brady's and Aaron Rogers aside, he, and nobody thinks about this,
he's sometimes one of the richest people standing on the field.
That is pretty wild.
That's insane, because you just don't think about that.
That also probably is something that I never even thought of this.
The NFL as an institution, just like those refs and their charities.
And that Ted Donahy guy who got in trouble for gambling,
in an NBA. It's probably really helpful if they have refs with a lot of money because that means
they can't be bribed. They're not impressed with people's money. They're not necessarily that impressed
with Aaron Rogers being like, come to this charity event and I'll introduce you to share or whatever.
I never thought about that either, but you're right. That totally makes sense. You can't have a
guy who's just strapped for cash all the time. Or being an NFL referee and a lawyer already
means that you get to make partner in Phoenix because you're like, hey, Judge. I'm Ed Hart.
You want to come to the games?
You know what I mean?
Like, those things go hand and hand capitalism.
Yeah, no, I hear you.
But, you know, I'm got the Eagles next week.
Right.
You know.
Dude, I'll never forget this.
This is another story I shouldn't tell.
My brother's lawyer.
We was in court one day and just like some routine thing, like leading up to the trial before he pled and all that.
We just had like a routine, you know, hearing or whatever.
And his lawyer was running around and we were back there in the back.
And he goes, is a judge here?
I'm just looking for the judge.
And he ran into some woman, I guess he trusted it.
And he goes, oh, Sherry, come here.
listen I can't find the judge
well you just give this to his honor real quick
and it was an envelope and she looked into it
and he was like yeah that's a 50 yard line
tickets to the Titans I told him I was going to give him to him
but I couldn't go this weekend I was going to go with him
blah blah blah blah blah and I was like looking at him
and then we like walked away and he goes I didn't pay for those
that's why it's legal Drew and I was like okay sure
yeah yeah technicality here
right now but that's wild man
and then on top of that he's supremely fucking jacked
yeah for an older dude which just is
yeah it Hercules
So it's like, I mean, he's a supreme header.
Absolutely.
Yeah, you've said that.
That sounds like a white supremacist thing.
But let me ask you this.
Or like a cult thing.
I shouldn't even say like make it racial.
That just sounds like with the Illuminati.
That's a level of Illuminati.
Well, he's probably not that far out of that fucking realm like that circle.
Like the fucking.
The lizard.
If that's true, that's because of his fame too, though.
Like, I'm not trying to be like a manspointer here.
But I don't think being.
even though being a law partner in a city like Phoenix makes you super rich,
you're not lizard rich.
The Rothschilds.
But his fame that comes with being a ref,
because he is the most famous ref, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, he definitely is.
So, yeah, he's like, you're right, he's one step away from him.
He's an iguana.
Yeah, I would say it is.
He's a salamander.
He's a salamander, yeah, a newt.
Is a new, that's the same thing?
That's like a lizard thing, ain't it?
Yeah, yeah, it's an amphibian.
I just realized that's Newt Gingrich.
Like, he's just literal.
The simulation is wild.
Yeah, he's a newt.
That's fucking crazy.
I was thinking about the Ross Childs the other day.
Me too.
I was on the, I was like reading their Wikipedia shit.
Uh-huh.
What made you think of that?
I was thinking about the level, just, I was thinking about money.
I too.
And what it was, I was like, man, you know, I hope my career goes well so that I can
have the, the type of comfort that a, you know, I don't know, like a Bill Burr or somebody
has or whatever and I was thinking about that type of money.
Then I started thinking about the Rothschild and like the richest dude in fucking Hollywood
between the Rothschild and them is the same as between me and fucking like Michael Jordan
which is crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
Like it's like how hard it would be for me to become the wealth wealth like Michael Jordan
is like that they think he's the same as Michael Jordan thinks I am.
That's fucking nuts.
Yeah, it's probably like how like, you know, Queen Elizabeth looks.
it like Leonard Skinner.
You know what I mean?
Exactly.
It's like that.
It is like that.
You mean she don't?
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Just like, dude, when, like, when was this kind of that you were having this?
Two days ago.
Okay.
It was probably, it was less than a week for me, but I went through basically the exact same thought process at my house.
Something got me on it.
And I started reading about the Ross Childs.
And I was thinking the exact same shit.
It's like the, that like truly wealthy elite.
You literally can't lose it.
There's no way.
There's no way.
There's no way.
There's no motherfuckers and like all them Saudi oil chic, you know, motherfuckers.
Yeah.
And then like, they just own entire condos in New York that just stay at all the rooms and shit.
Yeah. Russian oligarchs and all that type of stuff.
Like it's almost inconceivable.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Like literally inconceivable to think about.
I mean, I would argue that it is inconceivable.
And I would argue that part of the reason that people like that are even allowed to exist is because it's inconceivable.
And what I mean by that is,
dude, like,
somebody or not kill them.
I'm not saying like I am.
Well, that money or it goes somewhere.
I'm not even saying that.
I'm not saying that morally,
I believe someone art kill them.
I'm saying logically,
it's unfathomable that it hasn't happened.
But the reason it hasn't happened is people just,
it's really actually hard to just conceive
how much money and land and power that they have.
I think another reason it hasn't happened is because it can't get to them.
Well,
never going to know where they are.
Like the only type of person that would ever know the Ross Childs will be somebody that
they let into their realm and that's somebody that is also a complete bag of shit.
But I think about things like, all right, that Purdue family that holds the whatever,
the patent for Oxycontin.
Like, all right, I mean, we better get into it.
Yeah, I mean, they or die, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I don't think that's automatically true for any of those people.
Them?
Yeah.
But, like, there's, I'm, you know, I'm not going to sit here and say that every single person who's like that.
Like, Warren Buffett ought not die.
Right.
I told, yeah.
He oughtnought.
He ought not die.
Maybe.
Nick Hanauer, who, you know, he's the dude that is, uh, sponsoring my video.
The one who's paying you, he's okay.
He is okay.
The second I found out that boys and girls is how capital is worse.
His entire fucking mission in life is to not get murdered.
Is combating income inequality.
Yeah, because he literally said that.
Because he actually, he agrees with you.
Did he not literally say that?
He said, we need to fix this guys.
And when he says guys, he's talking to the rest of the billionaires.
Because if we don't, they're going to fucking come kill us.
Like if it continues to get worse.
They're coming for the Pluto crowds.
Yeah, if it continues to get worse and worse, they're going to fucking get the pitchforks and come for us.
And, you know, that's the rationale he uses with him.
But anyway, my point is still like, you know, he's doing, he's trying to.
accomplish the right thing.
Warren Buffett...
I mean, he ain't on my list or anything.
Warren Buffett.
And I'll be having a list.
Well, I know, but that's what I'm saying is like there are...
Jeff Bezos, Jamie Diamond.
I'm just not gonna...
I'm saying he is an example and so is Warren Buffett of like...
I'm not going to say they all or die.
I said...
All the Rothschilds.
Warren Buffett did it for me when I found out that his favorite restaurant to go to
is bonefish grill.
And it was like, yeah, he eats their every...
every single night sits at the same table or whatever.
And because, you know, that dude literally could eat anywhere he wants.
He likes bonefish.
And turns out, on top of that, he also, like, every time leaves a 100% tip.
Like, he just orders, he goes to a cheaper restaurant and he needs to, but then he doubles it up and, like, you know.
Well, I don't know enough about Warren Buffett to combat any of that.
That's all I know, by the way, is that he eats at bonefish grill.
He genuinely seems to give a shit about the world.
He does.
Or at the very least, give a shit about his legacy being someone who gave a shit about the world.
but for me like anytime I run into somebody
not like run into him like I'm on the street
but when I hear a story like that
like if Jeff Bezos the Amazon guy
like if everybody was like he tips 100%
on a thousand dollar mill I'm like
he's literally undermining our fucking country right now
like I'm sorry but I don't give a shit
what Peter Thiel gave to a single mother
when he's me
I know I totally get what you're saying
Bill Gates or not that I
I mean Bill Gates is like
done a lot of
very genuinely great things and is also
trying to convince the rest
of them to do the same type of thing.
There's a character in billions that I think
is based on Bill Gates. Have you ever fucked with that show?
No, I've wanted to a lot. So it hits?
It's Shakespearean. Does that make sense?
Like, there's two rivals.
A lot of overacting, but it still hits.
It's very dramatic, yes.
But also the plot lines, it's like
these two dudes,
it's just
it's unfathomable that their lives could be
intertwined that way. It's Shakespearean
in that way. Do you know what I mean?
Well, you're making me want them watch it more.
It sounds like it has. It's bad ass. But there's a character on
there who tries to convince
Axe, who is a character based on
one of these guys that we're talking about.
Does David Axel? No, that's, that's Obama's
advisor, ain't it? Yeah, buddy of mine.
Anyway, yeah, we hung out.
He was near the Kagle conversation.
He's based on somebody that exists.
His character is approached
by a guy who's like, you've got to give away, you know, 90% of it.
That's the only way you can get power back.
And it's kind of interesting how he approaches him.
Like, that's his pitch.
He's like, look, I'm not here to tell you to be a good person.
I'm not here.
He's like, because guys like me and you, we don't give a fuck about that.
Here's what I'm here to tell you is that I know you don't actually have all the power you think you have because I was there.
I know that no matter how much of this shit you accumulate, at some point it controls you.
and this is the only way to become the master of your life again or whatever.
It was a hit-and-ass episode.
Billions?
Yes.
I've never heard of it.
Dude, it's fucking Paul Gi-Amati and Damian Lewis.
What?
It seems like, dude, it seems like it hits.
Wait, where's it come on?
I watch it on planes. Shottes or Showtime?
Showtime.
Dude, Paul, that's, I'm really disappointed myself because Paul Giamati, as we've, I think we've
actually talked about it on the podcast.
We did something on character actors.
That motherfuckers, I love him so much.
No, I don't think we did do that on the podcast, did we?
That was a text thing.
We were talking about Jesse Plemans.
Yeah.
Okay, you're right.
And you said, you thought he was going to be huge.
And I said, I love Jesse Clemens, but I think, because when you said, I think he's going to be huge, I thought you meant like, like, George Clooney.
Yeah, and I didn't.
Yeah, no, I didn't.
And I was like, I don't think that's going to happen.
I think he's going to be a super in demand and respected character actor.
And then you said, no, I'm not saying George Clooney.
I'm saying like Paul Giamati.
And like that, yeah, I mean, I agree.
And I do.
I think I'm right on that.
Yeah, me too.
I think a lot of people feel that way about that.
And that's how hard those do.
Like, people don't think about how hard you have to,
we do talk about it for women a lot,
but also men like how hard
Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti have to be at their job
because dude's sex sales and they're not good-looking men.
So when a character actor becomes...
I'm banged Philip Seymour-Haw.
For sure, but I'm saying when a character actor becomes the...
Today, right now.
Yes, his score.
When they become essentially leading men,
but it's four, you know, every time it is,
it's always a biopic that only they,
They could play, you know, Capote.
He had to do that, and it couldn't be George Clooney.
It had to be a guy that looked like him.
Dude, and I'm, like, I'm affected by it too.
Do you see me in that, uh, what's that gangster series?
Boardwalk Empire.
Murder.
Murder.
It was great, but like, I got to be honest.
Like, I think I'm so conditioned.
Like, I wanted a better looking leading man.
Does that make sense?
Like, I was like, man, I want, you know, Brad Pitt in this role.
I understand what you're saying, but to me, it was, like, that kind of made the character
who he was for me is like.
Oh, he overcame it.
Yeah.
I just mean like when I first sat down and started watching it
and I was like, something's off and then I realized
oh, that's what it is. I'm not used to this.
But he carried it.
Well, he carries it and like the kind of the point of his character is like
that guy has to do all that to get the pussy and the
you know, because he's otherwise nobody thinks he's charming.
Right.
Exactly.
What you need in life.
So.
Money power of respect.
So that kind of, that does hit for me in that way.
But I understand what you're saying.
I mean, there's sometimes I watch a movie and I'm like,
well, this is.
Why they got that person?
Yeah.
This is sort of in the same arena as.
far as, you know, just you don't think about it often about how wild it is, or at least I think it is.
I was reading earlier about Red Bull.
When was the last time you thought about Red Bull?
I had one last night.
I think about it a lot.
You're talking about all the stuff they're involved in and how they sponsor like X games?
Like how truly genuinely colossal they are.
And really like they're like, dude, yeah, exactly.
They and Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew sincerely copied them literally other than like Brand
who make snowboards
became the brand
for all that
X-Games.
Extreme bros.
Yes, all that shit.
And dude,
when you leave the country
because it's like,
okay,
that's big in like California
in Denver.
When you leave,
like it's huge.
Dude,
it,
so yeah,
I got two Red Bulls earlier
because I didn't want to fuck
y'all know I don't like
particularly fuck with coffee
but I wanted some caffeine.
And so I got two Red Bulls
and I was just thinking
and I just started thinking about it.
I said,
man,
this shit's kind of wild,
dude because I knew they had like soccer teams and like when that dude was like I'm going to skydive out of a spaceship they were like we got you we're on you buddy yeah we've come to the right place yeah and like I started thinking about that and so I just googled it and looked it up and I didn't realize that that's like that's an Austrian company is some Austrian dude who could tell by their early commercials who went to Thailand on a business trip and met this Thai feller and
who made this drink that hit for this Austrian,
and he was like,
I think we could sell this shit.
And they tweaked the recipe of it a little bit
and became partners.
Took the coconut milk out of it?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
They said he made it less sweet.
And then they started marketing it to, you know.
Extreme sport type stuff.
Well, this is in young professionals,
but I mean, if you think about it, like, you know,
you're talking about like the bro-y version of that,
at least in my mind.
You know what I'm like?
They're not that far removed from.
each other really.
Young professionals and like extreme shit or whatever.
They are an internet fail video as a brand.
Right.
Yeah.
And like their timing couldn't have been better.
Well, it's also wild too because like, yeah, I need.
They were crushing in Europe and shit by the way before they even came to America,
which was in 1997.
And somebody told them they were founded in like 85 or something like that and had done
well globally before they even came here.
Well, they came here because someone made to them what should have been an obvious point,
you have created the most American thing in the world.
What the fuck are you doing and not capitalizing on that?
It's pretty insane, man.
Yeah, it is wild because, like, boy, we love the fuck out of some energy drinks.
Yeah.
And I mean, dude, they work and they hit.
You know, I mean, that Torin and shit will kill you, I guess.
We've talked about Torin on here about how it's just caffeine named after a bull.
Yeah, that's what they're, yeah.
It's like, we don't, I don't know what it is at all.
Nobody does.
I just see it.
Yeah, I just see it.
And I'm like, there ain't no way that that's fucking good for you.
because I ain't never read the back of a fucking turnip jar that said it had torrain in it.
Yeah, I just realized Taurus was the most aptly named car in the history of cars.
Yeah.
It in the El Camino.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I agree with that.
El Camino's hit for me, by the way.
Yeah.
El Camino's hit for me, too.
What do you...
Taurus, what you...
Torus, it's a bull, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I mean, you know...
Yeah, but what that particular car was...
Looks like a big dumb bull.
It don't look like a bull.
They don't...
They don't hit.
Or, or they didn't used to hit.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.
timeout, how many bulls you've been around, though, in your life?
Because I'm not talking about, like, you know, the professional bull riding rodeo situation, bull.
I'm just talking about some big, dumb fucking bull in the field.
Yeah.
But you're still a bull.
I think it was just like.
Well, if a fucking tourist came at you and you had nothing but a red flag.
For sure.
Well, I think that's true for any.
I feel like you got to put like a, you have to speak comparatively.
When you're talking about amongst cars, you know.
Amongst cars, amongst cars, the Mustang is the most aptly named car probably, whatever.
But the tourists, I think that was just like...
It's a bull.
It's a cow.
They couldn't name the Ford Torres what it looked like
because they couldn't call it the Ford boring-ass piece of shit.
Boris.
For sure.
So they were like, look, call it something cool.
Well, what car would be a bull then?
Because I'm open to being wrong.
A Dodge Charger.
Hell yeah.
Yes.
No, that's more of like a...
Dude, that might be a fighting bull.
Maybe.
But Chargers, I don't...
I mean, they're...
They hit too hard.
They do hit.
Bulls hit.
Some bulls.
Yeah.
That's coming out right now that you don't.
that you don't like bulls.
Yeah, let's stop for a second.
Oh, no, wait, whoa.
I'm not saying I don't like bulls, and some bulls hit.
You bought into the big bull, though.
Yeah, I guess so.
I've been laughing by big bull because bull's hit for me.
Yeah, I guess so.
It's bulls hit for you.
Yeah.
Chargers are way too fast.
Dude, have you ever been to a goddamn rodeo?
Okay, but that's like that's like saying, I don't know.
Like, like, I'm trying to think of a good analogy that isn't completely offensive
with professional athletes.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah.
But, like, those are the best bulls.
You know what I mean?
Those are the fucking Michael Jordans and Randy Johnson's of bulls.
Sure.
Well, that ain't how all bulls is.
I guess I've just been around because, like, Brian has bulls and they're dumb and fat.
You know what I mean?
Well, that ain't how all Mustangs is, I guess, and fucking...
I just think Chargers are too fast to be a bull.
But if Chargers are a bull, they're absolutely a professional bull.
A bull would be something that's powerful, not really fast, but it makes up for it with its...
Like a tank.
But in a car, power...
Maybe a Cadillax's a bull.
I was...
Especially if you put horns on them.
Those old ones.
Yeah.
Dude, motherfuckers in Texas literally do that.
I know.
Put the horns in front of a Cadillac.
Dude, honestly, those old...
The Chevy Roadster, have you ever ridden in a roadster?
Like, it was like the family car of the day or whatever, back in the day.
Williams, my buddy William, Lloyd's Papa also.
Bill, he used to have a roadster and we'd take it every year to Florida.
God damn, son, you talk about driving a fucking tank.
And I mean, from the outside, it's like, this looks like an old man, granny car.
But motherfucker, that son of a bitch would go.
Whatever happened to Cadillac, man?
I was clearly wrong.
In terms of they're not as classy anymore.
Sorry, watching Falcons.
I was clearly, well, I want to talk about that real quick.
They got outclass.
So it's a good time to change the subject about the tourists.
I was clearly wrong.
This is why I don't like replay that much anymore.
They just did a replay.
Now, the Falcons end up getting the first down,
but they overturned the catch for a first down.
And by rule, he did not catch it.
The tip of the ball hit the ground.
But in the replay, you know what else was clear?
pass interference. Right. How can they not call that too?
Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick has publicly stated many times that he thinks literally everything should be
reviewable, but that they still only have a limited number of challenges and shit. So like you have to weigh the importance of it still.
You're not going to say, hey, I think he was holding. Let's go back and look at this.
But that there was nothing that you couldn't challenge. To me, I was up to him. I would say they, I mean, I don't disagree with that.
I think maybe to how to ease into that, the addendum would be within two minutes,
you can challenge anything.
Like how they do...
Within two minutes, they challenge.
But they only challenge challengeable plays.
Like, there's that certain amount of plays.
But within two minutes, if you think somebody on the other side of the goddamn field was holding,
then you should be able to...
Yeah, I agree with that because that can change the fucking game.
I don't agree with that.
But what I would be totally okay with is like on a situation like that,
we are already reviewing the catch or we're already reviewing it was out of bounds.
We're already reviewing whatever.
If there's a fucking face mask on the play, that should count.
Right.
And while we saw this, we also saw this.
Call the While We Were Here Rule.
Right.
Like if you were reviewing a fucking security tape for somebody robbing somebody, and then behind
them you saw a dude punch a lady, you'd probably look into that.
Of course.
Yeah.
But anyway, yeah, about a classy or what else.
It's kind of like when you're like naked walking through your house, you know what I mean?
And then like your wife's also naked and y'all didn't expect each other to be naked.
It's like, we wasn't planning on doing it.
But while we're here.
Yeah, Trey, I kind of think that's happened with almost every car now because like,
basically when cars...
I got ADD.
what do we tell me?
What happened to the Cadillac?
You know how Cadillac used to be literally synonymous with, you know, a classy car, like, you know, a Caddy.
I think it was a generational thing.
I mean, they still are around in, like, head or whatever, but they're not.
I sincerely think it was a generational thing.
I think the people who liked them when they were young got old, and it's because they still liked them when they were old,
and Cadillac could make a bunch of money by selling them to them.
Because when I was younger, every old person of my Papal's age.
Had a Cadillac.
Yeah.
I think that made it not cool to be younger people.
And they wanted a Lexus or BMW.
But there's a way to combat that.
They did it.
They came out with the Escalade.
And that was a fucking big deal for a minute.
Yeah.
But then, but then...
Well, that's what I was going to say.
Like, as a company, you have to
fucking navigate that kind of shit because there's
plenty of other...
There's plenty of other companies that...
And Lexus.
That will happen to, except they don't allow it to happen to them.
They don't make...
They got beat by Lexus and BMW.
They probably didn't think they had to change shit for a long time.
Cadillac was a luxury car, but it was possible to attain...
Like, if you were somebody...
a Ferrari or whatever.
Exactly. But nowadays, it literally
is just the unattainable
ones or the classic ones
because they don't fucking, they don't
make, like you hear some people talking about, oh man, the goddamn
63 Nova or whatever. In my
life, there's nobody going to be going, oh damn man,
I remember the 2011 fucking blah,
blah, blah. Because all cars, and probably
because of regulations and shit, they have
to be so safe. Everything's made out of
fucking plastic now. It's not.
God damn big government, man. I tell you what, ruin everything,
man. By God. Don't hit it.
Andre 3,000.
in the Walk It Out remix
That's some line about
Back when Cars will metal
Instead of plastic value
What is that?
What's that line?
You know what I'm talking about?
I don't.
I haven't heard that song
It for very long time.
That part of it is verbatim
But I don't remember the context of it
But anyway
He stays rapping about cars
You ever listen to that
Just like Free Flow
A Day in the Life of Andre
A Life in the Day of Andre Benjamin?
No.
It's just seven minutes with no hook
And he talks about
Getting a little rabbit
And tricking it out
And he wanted a Cadillac
but I mean they just don't make them no more man
that's why like when we talk about cars that we want it
we always go straight to the fucking old Bronco
yeah but like you know
I mean that that's definitely true but I also think
that I don't think any of the three of us
are like car guys
no not at all well so but the people who are car guys
I bet they'll I bet there will be that
like you know you said like the 2011
well hold isn't it like
wasn't there a period of Honda Accords
that people who are really into that kind of
they're into it because no the thing with the Honda
a court no I think it's a civic you're right
the civic but no the thing about that is
the stat was of a couple years ago they said
uh like I don't know
73% of Honda Civic sold
on or after 1992
or still on the road and that was like the highest for any car
they're extremely dependable but it wasn't like a
that was part of it but you could also soup it up easily
yeah they were the original rice burners or whatever as they called them
and they would you know put the fucking
spoilers on them and stuff my uncle had a black Honda Civic it was like a
89 Honda Civic and I don't know whatever happened to it but as of like probably six,
seven years ago, I guess, or maybe a little longer, it was his like daily driver and had been
that entire time and it had over a half a million miles on it. And the only thing that he had ever
done to it was just routine maintenance shit, you know, belts and brake pads and that
no, they're wonderful. He'd never done any kind of serious, you know, work on it. No, they're one.
And fucking half a million miles. They're tremendous. It's crazy. Well, they're tremendous cars, man.
like a bunch of a bunch of people from around my area that was they'd you know get an older civic
for their first car because you know you could get it at a decent price and also it was like a
fucking eight nine year old civic is probably going to last you as long as a goddamn you know
something newer and more hitting and it's just that's what you get they got past the fuck down
it's a very hand-me-down type vehicle you can do that that's why the tacoma guy so popular
it was just like what coma yeah what you could get and afford because it was used and it was on the
road, you know. And also super great
on gas. Like those, those four, the four
cylinder Tacomas were hugely
popular. I'm gonna buy me one soon. They're awesome.
They're fucking the V6, I think. Yeah,
but I mean, I, you know, I get it. I thought there was a
hybrid Tacoma, and they talked about coming
out one. It's a fuel flex, ain't it? They got a fuel
flex one. Because they put a, they put
a hybrid in one of the, uh, I think the RAV4
and it's the same frame. You know what, man? I'm about to be a
hypocrite. I was going to say, like, I like tocomas now, but
dude, the goddamn 2002 Tacoma
was really fucking sweet. Like, and I really, I
really do genuinely like that body style a lot in a truck. Why would that make you a hypocrite?
Because I just said, in my lifetime, I don't think people are going to look back.
I said, like, people do like, oh, 57 Nova, that was it. I really genuinely think the 2002 to
come was one of my favorite looking trucks. I think it's also that mid.
Trucks though.
Trucks, though.
That's what I was about.
That's exactly the new one.
The new one.
That square body Ford, everybody wants one of them.
For sure.
They're not.
Jason Bain, y'all know.
His first vehicle was a white 85 F150.
And dude, it was fucking.
You can't.
Thompson ran into it like three different times in his truck.
You can't.
You know,
not a fucking scratch on it hardly.
You can't find them.
I think Brian had a civic now that I think about it.
You can't find them no more of those,
those body style of forwards because they either broke down or farmers bought them to use for farm trucks and they ain't getting rid of.
They didn't break down.
Yeah.
Nobody will sell them.
I'm saying, okay, not break down.
They either got wrecked and totaled or it's on a farm.
To me, that's absolutely an iconic.
Because William, oh yeah, dude, William has one.
He's got the.
It's a white square-bodied F-250.
That motherfucker is bad as shit.
It's fucking great.
It's got the skinny,
the old skinny steering wheels they used to have.
Everything is there's leather.
It's got a fucking cassette tape.
The fucking leather seats in it.
It's got the little fucking holes,
but they hit.
I'm about to buy one of them.
Dude,
I was just thinking,
we can't find it.
Now we must have one.
That's what me and my buddy Jesse,
when I haven't ever told the story on the podcast.
I'm not going to right now
because I'd have to dedicate a whole episode to it.
our journey from Yellowstone National Park to Nashville, Tennessee that took us three weeks to complete
because we had to keep stopping.
It was in a red Ford F-250 that style.
And I mean, you know, that's probably not the truck to travel in if you're trying to do it on a dime budget.
But God, damn, boy, it was a lot of fun.
My buddy Brandon, he had a bunch of different cars.
He's a car guy, and his dad was a car guy.
But one of the cars he had was a 67 or 8.
Mustang and it was one of the mocks.
It had like the racing strap and the scoop on the hood.
And it was his mom got it brand new.
Or no, his grandfather got it brand new, gave it to his mom.
She married, uh, you know, his dad, he says that his dad married his mom literally just
because of the car.
The dad married to mom because of a car.
That's what he claims.
Like he was joking about it.
Yeah, it usually goes the other way.
He had that.
And then he had one of those F-150s we were talking about in high school.
Like, he had all the hitting forwards.
He was a four guy.
Yeah.
And it's why.
all too because like I think that's one of them trucks that at the moment you just didn't
you don't know what you didn't know what you had you know like like how much that was
going to hold its value in terms of how much it fucking hits because like well dude I had a 05 f150
which you know not that body style but I fucking I still miss that goddamn truck I loved that
I mean dude not for nothing I think the old one hits harder because I like older shit but like
aside from the way they've got the big fort how it says Ford so big on the front that the one
that Aaron Rogers has the commercial of those new ones sweet son they're fucking
awesome look and again i don't like new shit for the most part but that truck is god damn sweet again
the only thing i really don't like is the huge ford letters on it i kind of like the little the littler emblem

he just looks like such a goddamn dream boat.
I don't like the new Broncos very much.
They hit, but because I know what the old Bronco is,
I'm like, that's it.
That's fine.
I didn't think they hit.
They hit for me.
They look like...
They look like a big-ass G-wagon.
They look like a bro designed
to Bronco.
Well, they look like the Bronco trying to be a...
Like I said, a G-wagon, like a luxury-type car.
It looked like an anime Bronco.
Uh-huh.
But it's like you can't...
The spirit of the Bronco, they don't just...
They don't fucking do that shit no more.
Like, everything's...
I don't know.
Trying to...
Like, the Bronco or not look nice.
It ought not looked like fucking ruggedly hitting.
Yeah.
You know?
But at the...
But so let me ask you this.
At the time...
When the Bronco came out, like, the one
that we love like the 93 Bronco or whatever was when it came out.
I don't like the 93.
I like like the 70.
Yeah,
about say like the real hit ones are from,
yeah.
Well, right,
but I feel like the 93 was pretty sweet too,
like the early 90s ones.
You're talking about the O.J.
Bronco?
O.J. Bronco hit.
It was fine.
Yeah,
well, dude,
yes, the 70,
whatever.
I'm saying when those came out,
do you think certain people felt about them the same way as they feel about the ones now that
we feel about them?
I think all those without a doubt,
I think.
Right.
them and thought that they weren't like the classics,
but I don't think they felt the same way in the sense that they were like,
this is too polished.
Right.
It's just something different.
Right.
Because it's like, you know,
you look at like the fucking 57 Chevy,
the bail hours or whatever.
It's like,
that is such a classic car.
But obviously to me,
like when that came out,
it just looked like fucking any other goddamn car that is.
Well,
that's what I was about to say.
It was a hit.
That's what made it fire.
Well,
I was about to say,
though,
as far as the Bronco goes.
Look at this motherfucker.
You're saying like it looked too,
it looks too polished,
whatever else.
But like,
you kind of alluded to it.
Like, to me, it's just the 93 one.
You know, I'm sure there were people it didn't hit for, but like it looked like
that era of vehicles in which it was made in, and the new Broncos also, you know what they do.
Like Impala's too.
Like Impala's used to be the fucking jam, you know, and now like, which they still making
them, but like Impala just looks like any other goddamn foredoor on the road.
But used to, they were fucking real swooped.
That's also true for Osmobile cutlasses.
Yeah.
Which they don't make those anymore.
but like in the night i had a 98 cutlass and it was not a hitting car but like them old cutlasses
were you know like a cutlassier like impala ain't talked about it was just a cutlass they don't talk about
impala's and rap songs no more which they used to i have had three cutlasses in my life
my favorite story about having a cutlass is i was leaving court one day you've had three cutlasses
what year uh various always in the 90s you know what it's my nine my uh my uh my uh my uh
Meemaw and Uncle Tim are still using my 98 cutlass, but it just broke down with like 275,000 miles on it.
But like the thing is, they're not known for that.
Like literally Thompson sent me an article just the other day about how the late 90s cutlasses were like one of the least hitting cars of all time.
You mean, in terms of what?
In terms of value or lasting?
Just all of that.
Because I've had all kinds.
And the reason my family kept buying them is because they kept hitting.
Yeah.
I mean, well, I'm saying that wasn't my experience either.
but again, Thompson, it's like on auto trader.com or some car website.
Well, they're ugly.
The last one that I owned, I inherited from my brother when he went, you know, to the big house.
I just had his car.
I was using it for a little while.
And there was one point right before I left for New York where Andy and I were living by the river in my parents' like 82 RV that my dad parked there for us to save money so we could move to New York.
We were living in, ostensibly in RV slash trailer park.
And I would get up and drive this gray, like Bondo gray cutlass to court.
And I would leave every day.
And one day my neighbor was like, where are you getting up going to dressed up?
Yeah, because you were like in a suit.
Yeah.
And I was like, court.
Yeah.
And he was like, oh, okay.
I hear you, buddy.
Yeah, which side of the fence?
No.
No, there was no questioning.
in his mind.
I was either going because I was arrested or I owe child support in this dude's mine.
But then after a few days, he was like, why you got to keep going back?
And I was like, I work there.
And he was like, yeah, I'm a defense lawyer.
And then he wanted to come over and talk to me about his son.
But my favorite story about that particular car is I was leaving one day.
And one of my colleagues or whatever, someone who worked with the public defender's office saw me in it.
And she had seen it before, but like, I guess it never really seen me in it.
And I had the window down.
I was like, hey, I'll court go or whatever.
And she goes,
I don't mean to be a dick, but it's just so funny that you drive what is basically one of our client's cars.
Like, it looks like a drug dealer's car.
And I go, yeah, it is.
It was my brother's and I just pulled out.
That's so fucking gangster.
I wish you still had that ride.
Well, it still exists.
I mean, I gave it back to my sister-in-law.
It's still in the driveway.
It just, like, don't work anymore because they stopped driving it.
So I, like the battery.
It probably just needs to replace the battery.
So I got a theory because you just, and we didn't answer it.
You said, what happened to?
Like when did Cadillac stop hitting?
Rappers got them.
And that's the inherent racism of fucking like,
a used to be Cadillax was like,
when Cadillacs first started hitting,
they didn't let black people have goddamn money.
And then, dude,
the Escalade came out and that was a, like, rappers.
I'm not saying rappers,
is on with goddamn black people that ever got money.
I'm just saying they made Escalades very popular.
That was in the Lex kind of rap was like, you know,
there was countless songs.
Maybe on top of my Escalade.
Maybe you girl and my friend could trade tag team off the roof.
Countless songs included the Cadillac Escalator, whatever,
and they, you know, black people start coming up as they or,
and they got Cadillacs,
and that probably made them lose a lot of their luster
to these fucking rich white people that normally fucked with Cadillacs.
I don't know if that's off base or not, but, you know.
Yeah, maybe.
Does that mean that when they talk about Lamborghinis and Bentleys and all that,
those brands are just, like, they can't be touched.
They're like, look, they're like, look, yeah, they're like,
Yeah, because, dude, if you got that much money, they're like, well, God damn it, good on you.
You know what I mean?
You clearly did something.
On a 50-yard line of the Georgia darn, what a dirty bird's kick for three.
We can do it in the club and a DJ booth or in the back of the VIP.
Whip cream with cherries and strawberries on top.
Look it, don't stop.
Get the donut, don't knock with the goobots and robots and boat rods and robots.
They got to wait to the show stop.
How about on the beach with black sand?
Pick up your thigh.
They call me the Pac-Man.
A table top of the pot to the point of the flat land.
That man named Ludacris.
Woo!
In a public bathroom.
When a public bathroom.
We're in the back of the classroom.
and I grasp them.
I get a tight grip and I grasp them.
And I'll last them.
And I'll last them.
And if it ain't good, then I trash them.
Why, you last them and I let them free.
And they tell me what your fantasy like up on the root,
Roo, tell your boyfriend not to be mad at me.
Well, that was fun.
Especially watching the Dirty Birds try to kick for three, didn't.
They did not kick for tree at all.
No, they did not at all.
Ludacris hits from me very hard.
Yeah, he does.
He's one of them, you know, we were discussing,
like, we were discussing the other night about comedians.
and how like, you know, if you're not talking about the issues,
I don't know what you're doing or what you're trying to do.
You can still hit for me.
I don't want to go on the record of saying that, though.
No, I know.
But again, there's, there are plenty of examples I could give you of comedians who don't
ever even touch the issues at all, but who I find fucking hilarious.
No, no, for sure.
But I need to be in the comp.
Like, you're, you know, the ones, the greats are always going to.
But to me, the greats.
Well, and that's why they level up, but it wraps the same fucking way.
Like, you know, Tupac, fucking Kendrick Lamar.
These people were talking about the issues.
But there is something to be said about just, you know,
hearing Luda talk about big booties, you know.
Like sometimes that's just the palate cleanser you need for your day.
Right.
Like if you've had a shitty day, sometimes it's difficult to dive into the pimp a butterfly.
You know what I mean?
Because you're already having that type of, God damn it, nothing hits.
The world sucks.
But, you know, you throw on.
You put on some two chains.
You're goddamn right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
There has to be the balance of that.
Those guys have to exist so that the other ones can have something to
listen to you know yeah i mean i think that pretty girls like trap music love trap music is
sincerely a masterpiece well he's obviously clearly good at talking about the issues my man went
on there and just put nancy grace the fuck down right that he can't do it it's just you know he makes a
certain type of music and like i i always like rap as a genre but there's their ork be and there are
i mean you got trap music or whatever but when when you're having the conversation like fucking i
can't believe you know they let two chains with when there's blah blah blah this guy i'm like
they're doing different shit man like him and kender ain't doing the same thing and he fucking
know he's not going to the booth like god damn it this is going to be considered the
fucking greatest shit of all time like when he wrote she got a big booty so i call her big booty
that motherfucker that motherfucker you know what i mean like and that's fucking awesome and i love that
motherfucker i love him too dude the video for i'm different god god my favorite things of all time but
the video he's getting drug or he's wrapping from a boat that's being towed like through
Miami or whatever.
God damn.
It's so fucking awesome.
Yeah, it's something else.
But, you know, again, him and Kendrick can't doing the same thing, and that's
goddamn fine.
But nobody's ever going to consider Ludacris, you know, the greatest fucking
MC of all time.
But man, he's undeniably fucking fire.
Chicken and Beer is one of my favorite albums of all time.
And he's hilarious, too.
Like, that motherfucker, his skits and shit.
I wish I could, I don't have an example off of my head out and listen to him in a while.
This kid Bobby, I played football with in college, went to high school with him.
With Luda?
Yeah, he was one of the.
the valedictorians
Luda
or salutatorians one
I don't remember
He's super smart
Yeah man
Well you know
You know like
I think he understands
That chicken and beer
Is not exactly
Sure
Highbrow art or rap
But he knew to make money
He'd make money
He wanted to do
Yeah
But dude you can't ascend
To the level ludicrous is that
Without having a fucking brain on you
Well he also has some jams too
I think that's like
Uh
Dude southern hospitality is fucking
Awesome
Hospitality and like
What there's no growing pain
Yeah dude oh god
love that.
It's like that are like sincere fucking bangers.
Good songs that are not like fucking, you know, booty, booty, booty.
Didn't he hop on a nappy roots track?
No, no, yes.
I know, I don't mean he's, he ain't all but two chains is mostly all booty most of
time.
Luda has some fucking actual sick fucking rhymes.
Didn't he hop on a nappy roots track?
Hold on.
I think so.
I know he hopped on son.
Or vice versa.
I don't know.
I mean, I fucking nappy roots hit so hard for me back in the day.
I really hate that they didn't.
make it bigger than they did.
Did you see, weren't y'all with me, or maybe I sent it to you?
I hope I did.
There's a dude in the, oh, my life, Ben Po.
There's a dude in there who looks like even more redneck Sturgel Simpson.
Did I not send you all that screen cap?
I tweeted it.
I'll show it to you guys in a minute.
It looks like Sturgel, but like with less teeth and he's got his shirt off and he's got like prison tattoos.
It's so funny.
There was a song, There was a song, Nappy Roots called Good Day and the remix featured Jay
lewdercristen 50 cent that's the one so yeah i thought i thought about naparots like i mean i won't say
not too long it was probably about six or seven months ago and i was just thinking like i don't
know shit about the business that's probably because they put a new album out about six or seven
oh really well i didn't listen to it that's wild now we've to listen to that i was thinking like
in terms of how you know they they were very original and very talented i was like are these
were they dick bags or something like because why why did they not we've talked we've talked
before like man if you really think about it that shit happens in rap all the
It does, but it happens to the people.
I'm showing them this picture of the screencat from the video.
That's fucking great.
But it happens to the cookie cutter type.
Like, you know, you just come out and fucking do, you know, I don't know, some bullshit-ass thing.
They're really original.
If you really sit and think about rappers, like over the course of our life, like, they come and go, like, motherfuckers.
There's very, very few rappers that have, like, true staying power if you really sit and think about it.
But I'm saying, like, every time that happens, you know, their song, their shit also wasn't really that.
memorable but like fucking
I don't know
hell no
was like
dude
dude Mace was a phenomenal
talent
yeah
my opinion
yeah
fell off to face
no I agree
he quit
he quit for a while
and then tried to come back
and I mean
yeah you're right
he hadn't have done that
that's probably
but I felt that way
for a minute
about Twista
and then my
reasoning was like
that the
you know the whole
like his thing
was I'm the fastest
rapper on the planet
writing good lyrics
period is difficult
but having to
continually up that
like you know once it's like once you've done
it so fast you can't do it no faster
and then that becomes your gimmick and then
every one of your songs has to have 1200
words in it because you're going
da da da da da da da da da da da and yeah it's awesome to hear but
that's a fucking hard level to keep up with
and maybe that is all he could do and god damn
who twist us to
yeah I think it's just war on people from
from from po pimping to popping tags baby
I think it's war on people maybe
but like I've dude when I his
fucking uh his fucking verses on over
celebrity with Kanye, man.
It's so fucking smooth and so badass.
But, yeah, I just think that's, it's hard to maintain anything at a high level in the
art world.
But when it's something so specific, it's like, you know, dude, what the fuck are you going
to do?
But I definitely agree with you as far as nappy roots.
Like, it also bums me out that they didn't have stay in power or whatever.
They're so original.
Yeah.
You know?
I don't know, man.
That fucking, that does suck.
But, but again, maybe they're dicks and hard to work with or somebody in their
management's a fucking idiot you know i mean and i don't know this i'm not saying this about them because i
don't remember i wasn't aware of it if that's what happened but a lot of times like they just kind
of fall off in terms of quality you know what i mean like they genuinely just don't they're not
good the first hits was the ones that they've been working on for seven years yeah that the sophomore slump
yeah yeah exactly it can happen to anybody if you might happen to me who knows i'm gonna talk
shit right but yeah but it's a bummer but you know that's what the true greats
You know, fucking like, first second M&M stepped out.
I believe everybody's like, well, this one's going to be around for a fucking while until we, you know, kill him.
Yeah.
But like the Paul Walls and stuff.
Right.
Where there's no.
That's not.
But usually the thing is like,
but guys like Slim Thug used to hit for me.
Or, dude, Lil Flip used to get like a mud.
Me too.
Me too, dude.
I feel.
But he never blew up.
Did he?
I mean, he was pretty big.
I mean, we all know him.
You know, he got, like, there.
Yeah, but Paul Wall was bigger.
Wouldn't you agree?
And he was a, he had that whole Texas, what's it called?
Chopped and screwed?
Chopped and screwed, yeah, because that was a very original.
But that did get fucking old after a while.
We're like, yeah, but you ain't doing that.
Well, dude, a lot of his, a lot of his, like, actual songs on his albums and shit might have, like, featured a little bit of that.
But it's not like they were all put through that filter or nothing.
Dude, his album, Underground Legend is one of my favorite rap albums.
ball. Paul Wall? No. Oh, okay. No. What were we not
just talking about it? Little Flip. Oh, Lil Flip. Oh, Lil Flip. Yes. Dude, dude, dude, dude,
like the people at my school, for example, who just didn't really follow
rap that much, I think way more knew who Paul Wall was than Little Flip. I agree
with that, too. Paul Wall became like a pop thing for a man. Well, and he had the thing of like,
oh, here's another white guy. And the grills. Yeah, and Mike Jones was he, which he was with
Mike Jones, they were in that kind of the same clique. And Mike Jones was fucking enormous for
one year. Exactly.
Pablo.
He just
I just heard him feature
on something the other day.
Me too.
Pretty new.
And it was,
it was good.
I think he had a lot of
like personal legal troubles.
Is it in the RD?
Yes.
I think he's on a new heart album.
He,
I like that album,
I think Pidi actually
had a lot of,
like,
I think he went in for a minute.
Like, he went,
like,
and you know.
I have.
Right.
So I think his was not,
he don't hit no more.
It's just,
my.
Petipop,
motherfucker.
First to put it down
for North Carolina.
But I can't remember.
I just fucked up.
I loved his verse on that Sierra song, goodies.
Yeah.
God damn.
I used to fuck so hard with that.
I did too, man.
I used to know the whole thing.
It was so,
it was the perfect amount of dirty and just fucking.
I had that in a,
I had that song on a mixtape,
but it was a burnt CD that I used to listen to in my 98 cutlass,
driving back and forth to school at tech,
like my freshman year.
I remember that.
Would your hair pull back in your toes curl?
Yeah.
God damn it.
Yeah, that hit for me.
So I did not mean to start.
playing something on my YouTube. Sorry if you heard that.
My, uh, my first wreck
was the cutlass. I totaled it.
Mine was a 2002 Tacoma.
89 Nissan.
Didn't total it.
I still drove it for a long time after that, but, you know,
fucked it up a little bit. Well, okay, first wreck.
I backed into a wall in this little Subaru car, but I kept driving it.
I've never,
luckily never totaled nothing. And also, that's the only
wreck that I've ever had that was
my fault. I've had, like,
that fucking cutlass, all the, the,
the cutlass I said, you know, 275,000 miles on it.
It also has had over like $12,000 worth of body work done on it because I got backed into,
ran into, rear-ended, like, literally like five times while I was driving that car in college.
And none of them were my fault.
There weren't be a thing with insurance where they're just like, look, we'll give you half the money,
but you just keep it and you don't fix the car.
And I would take that option if I drove a cutlass every time.
Dude, I don't know exactly, you know, as poor people shit.
I don't know exactly how this works, but I know for a fact that that people do that.
I know a buddy that did that recently.
Only if the choice is to total the car.
You're right.
They give you the value of, yeah.
That's what it was.
It was a shitload of hell damage on an older car, and it was totaled technically.
So they gave him a check, and he just kept driving it with all his hell damage in it and just, you know, floss.
Well, no, this is not a flosser.
Remember that Toyota truck I had in Knoxville?
Yeah, no, he kept driving the car.
That little Toyota truck I had in Knoxville, some dude was running from the law drunk.
He was a nightclub bouncer in the old city.
He was driving drunk and he was about to get pulled over and he tried to run.
He hit a bunch of cars and then they caught him and he had insurance.
So the insurance company came and they were like, we will give you $200 for the damage.
I remember how they word it, but they were like, we'll total the car and give you $1,600.
And I was like, that's cool, but I want to keep the car.
And they were like, nah.
And I was like, give me $1,000 and I'll keep the car.
And they were like, nah.
I don't know what they were planning.
just wouldn't do it. It was like, we're going to do this.
I mean, I'm, I remember, I remember seeing him driving that car with all that hell damage and
shit in it. And I remember his, uh, wife telling me that, like, you know, it was like, yeah,
well, we're just going to fucking keep it. Wait, I know what it is. They, they just give you a check
and let you choose who fixes it. And then you can just choose not to fix it. Yeah, right. I never got,
they were like, we're not fixing this truck. We will total it. And then I said, just give me half of what
you're going to give me to total it, but let me keep it.
Because all he had done is put a hole in the door.
I'd have a bondoed that.
What you're talking about is where they say,
you have a right to choose whoever fixes it.
Here's how much it'll cost to fix it.
We're not paying a dollar more than that.
And then you can just choose not to fix it.
Yeah.
and I was saying, I think that is a thing
because I know a guy that that happened to.
But in that scenario, I think there's some law
protecting that guy that he don't have to use
their guy. And so that's where it comes
in that to fix a car, they just give you a check.
Okay.
But like, according to them, I had no choice.
Maybe I should have just fought them harder.
What I did do was take the $16,700 they gave me,
which was more than I paid for the truck
and get a $1,000 car in pocket 800.
Yeah.
the first verse of that Pity Pablo
from goodies.
He says,
I got a sick reputation for handling broads.
All I need is me a few seconds or more.
And it's my rap.
Tell Valet to bring my lack.
So that's immediately an example of that.
And then I just remember while looking that up,
the Southern hospitality,
he starts out with Cadillac Grills,
Cadillac Chills.
Check out the oil my Cadillac spills.
So what I meant was,
there was countless ones,
two of the fucking rap songs we randomly named,
mentioned fucking Cadillacs in it.
So I do think that that has to have some effect.
And the reason we started rapping fantasy was he talks about his escalade.
Exactly.
Right.
So, yeah, I think that was, I mean, I know we've gone on to several different topics.
What's that Birdman song?
Turn around, set it down and let him bite your butt.
Is that a Cadillette?
Try, sing it.
Get our boots.
Get our boots.
In the pimped out of good chisuits.
But wait, what song?
What car is it?
Your Scottish ATL.
Yeah.
What song is it?
Four of our fans...
That ain't still fly.
That's why I was confused.
That's why I was confused.
When you said to do it because I...
Four of our fans got the Scottish ATL jokes.
Right, but I don't care.
Okay, whatever the song is, when he says,
turn around, set it down, let it bite your butt.
Escalade.
It's an escalate.
That's what I thought.
I got to look this up because I fucking loved that song.
Turn around, let it bite your butt.
Is that the same one?
No, that's a different...
Wait, that's back that ass up.
back that ass.
Hell yeah.
I remember back back.
What happened to juvenile?
Yeah.
He, right.
Dude.
Juvenile Wayne.
Matter of fact, another reason why Amber, God damn, she could not be more perfect
for me.
And I love her the day I die.
When we were discussing our wedding and we were getting stuff ready for our wedding
playlist like the DJ at least has to play these songs,
back that ass up was literally the first thing.
She says, she's like, well, back that ass up and not back that thing up.
Back that ass up must be.
Without a doubt.
Yeah.
Dude, I know.
I mean, I'm sure.
back that ass up
brought
No, it is still fly.
Brought the motherfucking house down
at every middle school dance.
Yes.
Except it was back that thing up.
It was the jam.
Yeah.
And that was also,
Lil Wayne's...
It's still the jam.
It ain't stopped being the fucking jam.
That was Louis Wayne's introduction to the world.
To the white world.
To the world.
Right, but he was, I mean, right, but that was his...
He was like 15.
That was his mainstream, which is white.
You're right.
But no, that line is from Stillfly, by the way.
Okay.
Well, that's my fault.
I did not immediately recognize it.
Well, no, when you said that, I was like, no, I don't think that's in Still Fly.
Take it to my house.
Get out of bids.
Take you on the couch, yeah.
Yeah, I walk it like a dog.
And I remember in fifth grade, not knowing what.
That's what came out, you know, obviously from the 9-9 to the 2000.
I had no idea what none of that shit was, but I was like, I know it hits.
And I know I want to do it.
I was going into my sophomore year, so I knew what it was.
I just learned, and Lord, that was my jam.
Yeah, all I knew is I wanted to not.
knock that pussy out yeah i didn't know what that meant but i was like i'm gonna do that shit one day
pussy out yeah get the mouth yeah yeah yeah on my couch yeah well um that was the same summer i
think that did you guys fuck with uptown baby uptown baby by lord tarreek and peter gun no no
i don't know maybe i have no idea how that got so popular in some brab no we you had us play it
once recently me and corby both like what the fuck is this and you were like y'all don't know this
song oh that's right it's just one of those things where it just happened to hit for a region you know
was like that in Salina.
It's a country singer, right?
It was Chris Knight.
Chris Knight was a big fucking deal in Salina, man.
Remember when we went...
Charlie Robinson was a big deal.
We went to see him.
When we went to see him in Knoxville,
and there was a bunch of people from Salina there.
You remember that?
One of them was my cousin.
Yeah.
That's because Chris Knight's fucking...
He was huge when I was in high school in Salina, man.
Everybody in Chickamauga was on...
And I mean, he did, rightfully so.
Everybody in Chickamauga was on Zach Brown before the world,
only because we had so many people from Chickamauga
that went to Kennesaw College.
And he played in that area a lot before they remotely got big.
He would just play these little die bars.
I knew so many people in it because I was given one.
It was a burnt CD.
It was gold and it just literally wrote Zach Brown Band on it.
And it got passed around and we all heard this song Chicken Fried and we would burn the copies for everybody.
It went viral the old school way.
Amongst our town.
It certainly did.
And then one day I was driving around and I fucking, that goddamn song came on the radio and I was like, well, son of a bitch.
They made it.
They made it.
God damn it good on them.
Because, yeah, I mean, they're extremely talented, goddamn band.
Also, this is topical kind of.
One of Zach Brown's biggest inspirations and who he's starting to look like was Charlie
Daniels, who you've been having a time with this week, have you not?
Yeah, if you follow me on Twitter, you or follow Charlie Daniels too
so that when I reply to his tweets, you can see the replies and it pops up
automatically. I'm trying to think of what my favorite one is. I think it's the one,
let's see, well, one of the thing Charlie Daniels does apparently every day is he just
repeats the tweet, Benghazi is not going anywhere. He's not going away. And so I keep my whole,
the way I'm trolling him is to respond to all his tweets sincerely, as if I'm a fan of his,
but very stupid. So the first, the first response to the Benghazi was have you asked her to?
and then the second one was
Benghazi will go away in God's time
on God will allow Benghazi to go away
on his time and I capitalized his
and put amen and I don't know
if some of his followers know what I'm doing
They don't
I could promise you they don't
And if they have the capacity to understand what you're doing
then they'd be on your side
Right
Right no offense
What do you mean be on my side
Like if they were someone that had the capacity
To know that you were being sarcastic
Then they would also agree
with you because that would mean they have a fucking brine
in their goddamn head. My favorite one,
I think, and this was the weirdest one, this is his sweet.
Redneck observation number 101.
What this world needs is less Kish
and more cornbread.
And I replied, Charlie, I was just saying this to my
mama. She can't hear, but she got it intuitively,
I think.
He says pray for the blue. He says that almost
every day. He's a bit of a pander. I keep telling him to
pray for the orange, govalls. It's also
so funny, like how, because that's
a big deal with real wind, don't it, Kish,
like how insecure you've got to be to call a...
If eggs make you feel gay?
Yeah, I was best say, yeah, if a food is gay,
and you have to go, I don't know what fuck I don't eat Keish, that's fucking queer.
If I'm honest with you, my argument is you should just be okay with gay food.
I think Keesh is pretty gay.
Sure.
I agree with Drew.
No, I mean, I hear you, but okay, is an omelet gay?
No.
Then it's just an omelet with crust.
It's funny that we're sitting here.
You know what I mean?
It's funny that we're just a dude who likes sucking dick, Corey.
I mean, I guess, but I didn't know.
That's hilarious.
I didn't know crust was gay.
I wasn't, I wasn't on it.
And that's, you know.
But here's the thing.
Gay ain't bad.
Of course.
That's the problem.
I know that.
It's not that Keish ain't gay.
It's who cares.
He's can suck whoever's dick it wants to.
We actually had this conversation before.
I know.
We were like,
we ranked eggs and how gay they are.
It's so shitty, but, yes.
Well, no, like Drew said, we're not gay.
We're doing it ironically because it started out with the Keish conversation.
I'm not doing it ironically.
I'm okay with Keish being gay.
Right.
That doesn't make it wrong.
I said that the least gay,
iteration of eggs was hard boiled
hard boiled egg yeah
I think it's fried
and bacon grease
you were on cold hand loat man
hard boiled eggs
fried and bacon grease
you said that
hard bald
you said even the name
yeah
you said that bacon grease
you said that deviled eggs
because I said I think deviled eggs
are pretty not gay neither
and you were on I think you were on
offense about it
because they're always on the platter
you know I know but they're always on the platter
at a fucking church potluck
that's true
yeah so
but like this I think
this got brought up when we first had this conversation,
which was pre-hit,
pre-podcast,
pre-every-every-every-thing.
Right.
Because, like,
I had made some comment about, like,
all the shit with the bakeries,
not letting gay people come in there or whatever.
And I was just like, dude,
you make cakes.
Yeah.
It's like, cakes are gay.
You guys are just like,
cakes are gay,
or at least you were,
and I was like,
I don't know,
cakes seem kind of gay to me.
It was just like,
it got us on this conversation about
gay foods or whatever.
But again,
I don't, there's something wrong.
I just realized why, right, but I just realized, hold on, I just realized why I think, Kish and Bakery and all that stuff,
it's because they're so, I don't know I'm going to say there's so many, but there's,
there's so many, is what I was going to say, and I don't know if there's so many, but there's,
notable examples of, like, gay men baking things in the media all the time.
You know what I mean?
It's like a trope.
My Uncle Tim makes the fuck out of Kish.
I guarantee.
You know who else does?
Your boy.
Yeah, I know.
But again, when I say that I, I take, you know.
said, I think Kish is gay, I think
cake's a little gay, I don't, that's fine
with me. Yeah, a lot of gay stuff. I'm not denigrating
it. Yeah, no, no, gay stuff is fine. I mean,
it obviously all started out by us
just being like, how weird is that?
But you would still eat,
like, there's literally people who would
not be caught dead eating a Kish
even though, if you explain it and you go,
do you like crust? Yes, do you like an omelet?
Yes, it is exactly that. It's egg
fucking pie. I just, there
ain't no way I'd ever order that in front of people.
The world needs less
More corn bread.
You won't order a thing of food in front of people, but you're not a goddamn snowflake.
You can't just have what you want to eat.
Jesus Christ.
You fucking gay for a little gay.
Had to be.
Because he was just sweet and nice.
And in great shape.
I mean, if he was around today, somebody would call him gay.
Had long hair.
Walking around with a bunch of dudes in the desert.
Trying to help everybody.
Figured out how to turn water in a wine, didn't open up a liquor store.
Yeah, he'd have got his ass.
if he's from where I'm from.
Yeah, let whores wash his feet but wouldn't get his dick sucked by him.
Jesus might have been gay.
That's true.
He did that.
Mary Magdalene used to wash his feet and she was a known whore.
He's a total martyr like a lot of gay men we know.
Lord.
God damn.
And I'm getting shit for that one.
Yeah, right.
There that is.
Well, we need to go.
We do need to go.
We have a show.
Lord, we're ending on that.
Yeah.
Yes.
We got a sit in that one.
Yeah.
We do.
We got to sit in it.
We were wrong.
We're sorry, but I believe we've long weeded out several people from this podcast
that we're going to be mad at that comment anyways.
And if not, we're happy that this was your last one too.
So we love you so much, and we'll see you next time.
Skew!
Thank you all for listening to The Well Red Show.
We'd love to stick around longer, but we got to go.
Tune in next week if you got nothing to do.
Thank you, God bless you, good night, and skew.
Thank you.
