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 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, and a way that's easier for you to digest. You can even automatically create custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscriptions with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.

I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. 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 had a, 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, I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies, you know, those weren't a little like the

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

Yeah. Oh, hilarious. For real? For real? We literally just started. God damn, we literally just started. Trey walks in, hitting. We said, we just said nothing hits, and you're walking in with two drinks.

Uh-oh. The reason I have a shot and a, uh, jacking. You got a fucking. I don't know what that is. I wouldn't worry about it. They can hear all this. Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry about that. I was trying to fix. The reason I got a shot here. I'm trying to fix the microphone. The reason I got a shot and a jacking diet in a rock's glass is because we're in Utah. And I don't know if you notice. I didn't have a man carry them up here with me on a tray just because, you know, I'm trying to floss. That also is because we're in Utah.

There was a man out there? You didn't see me take the guy. Oh, you should let him come in? With a napkin on a tray. Yes. And then they're allowed to give you as much with you. You think the South has some weird liquor laws. They have to, you can't, you can have a drink in your room, but they have to walk it up.

They have, they have to deliver it to the room whether you're with a number. But I could call in and get some drinks right now. You could call it and they could bring it up here. Okay, cool, because I'm about to do that because now you're hitting. And, uh, and you can't, you can't do doubles. So he gave, he technically gave me a half a shot and a one and a half ounce pour in the drink because Utah's something else.

You know they got 3.2% draft beer at every bar and restaurant as a lot, but then the bottles are just regular. Right. They don't have any problem with serving it. They just can't make it. What the fuck, man. It's weird. No, no, because some of them bottles was made here, so it's just the draft. Right.

What the fuck? I mean all blue. Oh, you mean like even they can bottle beers that are brewed in Utah and they can be more than that? Either that or the polygamy porter came from a different state and somebody that has to appropriated their sister wives. There was like a polygamy porter and there's

also like I seen a polygamy sandwich yesterday. They're really on the goddamn nose with this whole thing. Well I've been talking to the crowds a lot about that and how the South gets shit on because we fuck our cousins and the joke that's been hidden for people is but at least we do it one at a goddamn time. Yeah, that does it. I mean I feel like

it's easy for them to joke about it because it's so not real anymore. Like in spite of the reality television show and whatever we hear about some bum fuck place in Utah. That's as like far removed from them as like bloodletting is from Europe. Maybe not literally

in terms of time, but in terms of culture. But I mean, they're still right? Yeah. But they'd be doing it. There's like a few sex, but like a dude just started a sec because he won't, I mean, it's like any cult. He just attached it to or tried to attach it to Mormonism.

The Mormon church kicks other people out, I reckon. I don't understand how you know, It's like that show moonshiner's before moonshine eventually that became legal. How are you putting a spotlight on this? How are you on that show with your face showing and doing it and everything? And like sister wives, how does that work? But how can you even make it illegal?

It was only ever a religious thing, right? So why even make it illegal if you're going to exempt it for religious reasons? That defeats the purpose. The history of it as far as the Mormon church was that a lot of men had died on the trip over here. and it was legitimately like all these women without husbands with kids the church was like all right y'all can have more than one wife

because we don't know what to do with these babies and it was supposed to not last that long it lasted a little longer as my understanding did they have polygamy in Russia after the war you know I don't know that like something like 75% of Russian males who were born between whatever years it was to be a fighting age

during World War II all died it was literally like three-fourths of their young male population. So that's what happened in Utah. It stands to reason that, but I ain't never heard that shit about Russia. I mean, you know, they might have been some other things going on.

Yeah. Like, you know, my man's might have been like, we need more than one wife. Yeah, don't help. Who would ever say that, though? Yeah, I mean, that's the religiously that's like, that's like, that's the hack 80s joke of it all, but it's still very fucking like,

just like, who to fuck would? People who religiously are afraid. of going to hell if they cheat but I want to fuck more than one woman. But like, if you made that... That would not be how God works. Right, as I'm just make loopholes for God. I mean,

we made up all the rules. No, but you're... No, I know that. No, I know that, but I'm saying if you're buying into the God thing, then he's the one that makes the rules not fucking you, so like... Okay, well, all right, well, all right, well, what about you'd be, like, ostracized, basically, all right? So, I'm this old boy,

right? And I'm sitting there, I'm looking at all these women folk, without husbands, right? we've had a hard trip over here. I've survived, and I feel like one thing I deserve since I've made this 20-year journey and not died is I hard to be able to fuck all these women. Well, fuck them! I know that if I do that, I'm going to get kicked out, shunned,

whatever the case is. So maybe God has nothing to do with it. It's just my culture, my society. So I'm like, hey, while we're here voting on whatever it is they're voting, we need to marry these women, and God wants us to. But why? But if you're going to lie, then, want to say, hey, God said it'd be cool if I fucked them all.

You might not be able to get away with that. Yeah, you got to be able to happen. Hell, I don't know. And then he kept tweaking it. He kept coming back as a bad set. A Mormon told me this. This might be some revisionist history bullshit. They might have just been straight pork in the women.

Ain't part of their whole thing that, like, Jesus lives on a planet. And when you die, you go to a planet. It's an actual, like, planet out in the universe somewhere physically, according to their religion. Right. Well, I'll be watching this space opera show. Oh, yeah. Don't tell me nothing about it yet. I just started it.

This is not a spoiler at all. How far into it are you? Literally, I mean, like, I clicked play earlier, and then I had to take a shit, and then I came back in and wanted to take a night. Well, I fucking love it. It's called The Expans, yeah. And I think it's awesome. And one thing that I think is really cool about it is, so the general premise of it is it's a few hundred years in the future, and mankind has colonized the solar system. Not the universe, just our solar system.

So, Mars, Earth, the asteroid belt, whatever. and one of the factions in this universe that isn't a main part of the story really but kind of tangentially is is the Mormon church and they their whole thing, what they're doing is they're building the biggest spaceship

that's ever been built because they're all going to load up, all of them are going to load up onto it and go to that planet. Right. To go be with God. Fuck that. physically just going there.

And I thought that was really, I thought that was a really cool element to have in that show because it stands to reason that if in the future this is what's going on and Mormons are still around, like, one of them would have the idea to try to do that. Of course. Like if that's where their heaven is,

like, well, let's just go. Right. So that's what they're doing. The solar system of Latter-day Saints. Yeah, it's the L-D-S-S-Navu is their ship. The Latter-day Saints ship, whatever. Huh. Oh, yeah.

Drew's trying to order drinks. I bet they're going to give you shit for it, I think. Right. Okay, I got it. What are they saying? We can only order two drinks at a time. Okay. God damn.

It never ends. I want a Jack and Diet Coke and a... I want a vodka soda. What kind of vodka? Titos. Titos, please. Or fucking Brigham Young. I don't give it, whatever they got.

You got Brigham Young vodka. Give us that. What do you say? Yes, please. I have a question for you, the lawyer, when you get off the phone, although there's really no reason you would know the answer to this. I don't think he's ever getting off the phone. You ain't even gave him the room number, have you?

Or they know it. Are they witnessing to you? No, I don't think she was Mormon. She thought that was very funny, but then she acted like she didn't. I don't think they get that a lot or something. She was like, uh, let me check when I asked her if she could do it. And then she said, you can only get two. And then we went through that.

I made that joke. she did laugh. She was being cool, but then she was like, so, and I think she was talking to somebody else. So anyway, the reason that was annoying is just because she didn't know what she was doing. It wasn't because she was like pissed at me. All these weird-ass, antiquated blue laws that they have that put Tennessee and Georgia to shame as far as I can tell, this is the question I have for you, Mr. Lawyer.

My understanding of it when it comes to state's laws versus federal law is a state can enact laws that are stricter. Yes. They can't loosen federal laws. They can't make things less illegal, basically, ostensibly, which is why the DEA kept busting weed shops in California for all those years, because they were like, all right, we know you pass a state law, but you actually can't do that.

So we're still going to bust you for it. You can decriminalize it and the local levels won't fuck with you, but what I'm going to waste. What I'm getting at is, this is what I'm wondering. they clearly have a lot of hang-ups about drinking, and Mormons don't drink at all. I don't even think they're allowed to have coffee. They're not.

They're not. So could they, could they if they wanted to, just outlaw alcohol in the state of Utah? They just are from another planet. Yeah, I don't see why they couldn't. Wouldn't we talk about it?

You think they'd just do it just because it wouldn't have for people? Episode six. Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't think that people would abide that. Yeah, but why I make it so fucking difficult

in so many other ways, but still like kind of allow it. Well, that was easier to do back in the day, and my guess it's culturally, like, now just people just live here and accept it. You know what I mean? It's like, I don't, I'm just assuming it doesn't come up on the ballot. But your legal question is, what exactly?

But that is the thing that they could do theoretically, though. Yeah, I mean, I guess someone could try and sue and say they have a constitutional right to get drunk, which, Lord, that'd be a hitting, you know, episode. You take that case pro bono, wouldn't you? The Daily Show or whatever. but I would say businesses would sue too since they'd already established certain things.

The Utah Jazz ain't going to have that shit. I ain't going to have what? He means like beer sales at the arena and shit. Yeah, but these are all reasons that it wouldn't work in this society. Legally, I don't see any challenge. Like if they made it illegal, I don't see how anybody could challenge that. I don't know what they'd challenge it under.

Maybe we have a lawyer out there listening who could, tell us maybe a way they could do that. On the last episode that we discussed Mormons, it was episode six of the podcast. Look at you.

It was fucking Stein, man. It was with our friend Lauren Murphy. It was Lauren Murphy and Mormons playing basketball believe it was the name of the episode. And then we posited the theory. Oh, yeah.

We posited the theory that because they can't drink or have coffee and not like that, that's why they're such good fucking athletes. That's been my theory ever since that day that that story came from. Is that why they're not bald? I don't see no bald Mormons.

I've seen some, Fatten's, no baldens. The thing, they're almost all right. You did say that earlier in the hit for me, but the inquisitive look in your eyes have, no, no baldens, no baldons. They're usually, you know, breaking news. You stay away from drugs of every variety. And, yeah, sugar and all that shit. Your body does all right.

But Lord. At what cost, Joe? At what cost to the hits? Don't hit. I went to law school with a Mormon. But he was bald. but he drank coffee you drink coffee

I don't drink that much coffee I'm just starting to go bald you don't ever drink coffee you think caffeine makes people go bald coffee this is coffee this is the caffeine intake of this motherfucker I've ever met in my life I'm pointing at Corey now either way espresso

yes Corey straight mainlines espresso and has no hair it's insane dog your body speeds go and his hair's like woo I'm done that's hilarious but no

but that is funny I do and that's because there's plenty of French dudes with with all their hair yeah dude there's plenty of people

twacked out on coffee and still out plenty of hair but it is funny that it's just my body is or I've sped up I'm 78 years old yeah

I'm just I still got to be here for I'm like Tom Hanks and Green Miles I got a young soul I got to watch all my friends die sort of I have an old soul

actually I have both I remember I'm a old baby you're an old baby I like can't I like to eat candy all day, but like Horhound candy. We went today to Park City to see the mountains and whatnot, Trey. Okay.

Is that like a ski resort town around here? Yes. And that's why I said the seller system of Latter-day Saints. We were calling everything that. It was like, that's the Burger King of Latter-day Saints. It hit for us. Anyway, we went to a sock store. No, that's literally the name of the ship in that show.

It's the ship of Latter-day Saints. It's the L-D-S-S-Ladder-D-S ship, Navu, whatever. I can't wait to fuck with this show. I love this show. Anyway, go ahead. I want to talk about another show, too, in a minute, because I didn't talk about last week. The only thing was we spent $40 a piece in a sock store. Those socks had, I saw them.

Well, one of them had the queen and one of them had Obama on it. That's fire. I got some UT socks. They got Andy a pair of Dali Lama socks. Oh, yeah. I got Andy a pair of Dali Lama socks. It's Dali Parton as a Lama. Dude, they had a bunch of.

They had some that were, it was called Chuck Hunt, and it was Chuck Norris as the Ducke hunt, gun or whatever. And then they had the Bigfoot Lobowski. Well, dude, Tray, I'm not kidding. It was a sock. All it was with socks. You know when you go into like a Lids, has store?

Yeah. And all socks just, they fucking hit. Well, the other ones I got, this is, uh, I didn't know that I liked this, but I was about to leave and I was like, I'm going to get Amber a pair of socks. No, that's a dumb gift. And then I saw Knee High socks. And we've been gone for like, you know, 12 days. So I started thinking about putting Ammer in a pair of knee high socks.

I got Wonder Woman. Basically what I'm saying is I'm about to have a pair of knee high socks. socks for myself that a Wonder Woman that I'm just going to wear. I have a pair of... What he says he tried to buy Amber Laundrae and got her Wonder Woman knee high. That's still hits. And they probably want... I mean, it'll hit for me, but she won't be into it.

So I'm going to, yeah, right, right, yeah. So I'm going to end up wearing them hollow flower. I got a pair of a TriStar Tennessee State Flag and they have socks. And I love them. They do it. And then I got a peat pair that say butts. Yeah, he did. They say butts.

He bout didn't get them, too. I'll tell you how this drink's going down smooth. I might have to call down and try to order a bottle of wine and just blow their heads up. I was like, yeah, we can do that,

but half of it's got to come in a bird feeder that sits out in the hallway or whatever. To send a priest up to watch you drink it. Hey, you did really good last night on Bill Martre.

I watched it the whole thing. You watched the whole thing? I watched his whole thing. I didn't watch his whole thing. I was high as giraffe pussy. Good Lord. It probably seems super. super long to, you know, y'all watching it because y'all know me so well.

Come in. And I don't hit for y'all and y'all hate me. You do hit for me. Hello. So last time you came in here, I was in my underwear. I was eating soup. But for me, no. I mean, yeah, I was on that stage for, I mean, probably, I mean, almost an hour, like 45 minutes.

And, dude, that 45 minutes, I swear to God, felt like, three. Oh, I'm certain of it. It flew by, just like I was on the show the last time, too. But I didn't watch. I like it, it's inside. But I mean, stand-ups that way, you know? Sure.

Oh, yeah, for so fast. But like, both that show. Doing a podcast, you want to be on it? Hey, listen, I'm about to. Hey, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not joking about this. I'm about to call right back down and order another drink. Should I just tell you now or should I call? Just tell me no.

Okay. Could I get a jack and diet, please? Thank you very much Hey what's your name? You want another one? Hey Mariel Thank you very much I will

Go ahead and make it A jack You know you can only get two Vakasote Thank you Maryo Tos please thank you And also I told you this last night Other similarities

With stand up with it Like I had Oftentimes when you write a stand-up bit And it's long and there's a bunch of jokes in it. Yeah. The hit that you are the most excited about.

Don't hit. Don't hit. And then the stuff that you don't even get a second thought to. I know that, baby. Is like a major hit. Yeah. And any hit hits. For sure.

Any hit. That's true. That's sort of how it was for me last night. Like there was stuff. Some of the biggest reactions I got was genuinely shit that I didn't even plan on saying or literally hadn't even thought about until I got out there. Maybe not even consciously. But you know what I mean?

Right. It's like, goddamn he just said that. Hell yeah. Me too. Because it's ostensibly a conversation that's happening. And when something is genuinely like, you know, just coming out of nowhere. Yeah, no, I mean, that makes sense. That's a good theory.

But, uh, but no, I, um, I actually think. A lot of people have also just based on the shit I've been seeing online from people that are fans of the show, not fans of the show. of me, they were saying that I guess that was one of their better shows all around in a while. Like, I've seen that a lot from people that, like, watch the show.

I didn't see a lot of it. It was wild, actually, when I... That old doe boy looking motherfucker was like, yeah, Trump's did. Dude, I was expecting that guy. Eric Erickson. His name was Choed. No, he said, dude, this will piss me off. One of your hits that didn't...

He said something, and you just go, you all right, Eric. And it got... talked over and I was fucking dying laughing. But like he, I was, I wasn't worried about that guy. I thought me and that guy was going to lock horns like a motherfucker. I thought you and Barry were going to lock horns. Because he's from a, he's from a, okay, I want to get to that in a minute.

But that guy, though, he's from the South. He was called by the Atlantic or the New Yorker or something like that. The most powerful conservative in America a couple years ago. What? He has an extremely popular. conservative rate. He's like a Rush Limbaal type dude, and he's based in, but reasonable and smart and whatever. I just feel like that title would go to Franklin Graham.

And he's based in Georgia, Corey. Yeah. And I could tell. I knew all that. And I was like, man, this old boy going to have problems. But that he was a fucking sweetheart and not just like back. He also was saying a lot of shit that makes sense. I'm saying not just backstage, but on stage on camera too, he was, he was genuinely reasonable about things.

It looked like. Yeah, but I mean, hell, we were even, it was to the point that Bill and I was agreeing with him were kind of even pushing back on the fuck Trump part a little bit because Anna Navarro, who I also like, but she also is a Republican, she was going full in on Trump in ways that I don't think makes sense. And Bill clearly didn't either. And so it was a fuck Trump fest, but not, Bill to his. credit was saying like, come on now, we can't make everything about Donald Trump. And I was

agreeing with him with that, you know, in that. So, but there was some of that, yeah. Well, that's kind of, man, I mean, I don't, there's part of me that's like, go, it's terrifying that we have such a shitty guy in office that no one likes him and nobody agrees with him. He ain't doing a goddamn thing worth the fuck. But at the same time, seeing the most powerful conservative in the country a couple years ago, yeah, man, fuck this guy. That kind of makes me be like if we can just get there two and a half more goddamn years, you know, like this is over. Is that how you felt after that show?

That's how I feel just in general. Right, but more so after watching that for me. As to what Drew said about Barry, can I ask why you think, why you thought that about Barry? Because most of what Barry has called Barry Wise, who was the mid-show guest last night, and she's been on there twice in the past three weeks. And her big thing lately is she's a liberal,

she's a fucking coastal elite liberal who writes for the New York Times who has been going after liberals for being too easily offended or professional outrage or just being nitpicky about the infighting amongst liberals like you have to agree with me about every single thing and if you don't then fuck you you you know what I mean like if I'm I'm a super liberal and I'm a vegan and you eat meat well then you're a fucking murderer or whatever like that type of shit. that's what her whole thing is and that's what she's been catching shit for from a lot of liberals is for saying that type of stuff which is hilarious so that's what she was saying that that's what she was talking about last night

and dude I agree with her about all that I think I confused her with Anna Navarro because I thought she was a conservative Anna Navarro is a conservative and then second of all the only thing I knew she got shit for was just lying as a reporter

no no no no it goes way beyond and before that register on my radar some of the like Appalachian uprising type stuff It's not just... She got on the liberals because they... Well, no, she like reported on these Twitter accounts that were Antify.

I saw that. And they were Russian bots. Right. Before that though, and also aside from just the going after liberals for being too easily offended about things, she also went after some liberals when it comes to the Me Too movement where she was saying, she basically saying, look, this is great. It's necessary. It needs to happen.

But some of this shit is getting out of hand. and it's going too far. And I think it was in response to like Aziz and sorry or something. And that's what it put her on the map initially. And again, dude, I agree with her about all of that. I mean, we've had this conversation. I just don't understand what you're agreeing with. It's gone too far in what way.

Aziz did something else. Dude, that shit is dangerous, man. You end up abandoning due process. You can't say, we've said, no, we've said this a million times. You can't put lump people in the same thing as we were, you can't lump people in the same category is rape when they didn't rape. Who did that? Who did that? The Me Too movement. No, they didn't. That's what

I'm saying. That's what I've been saying this whole time about the disease and sorry situation. No one did that. No one went after him. He hasn't been arrested. Like, who do process is something the government owes people? Well, I don't like or really agree. I mean, you're right,

but that makes me uncomfortable. Society should operate in that way, too, in a lot of ways. I don't want to be... I'm arguing that it does. like Azizanzari hasn't been crucified the way Louis has. He didn't lose all his deals the way Louis has. He's been hiding out and I don't blame him. But like she, people like her pointing out, hey, that's a little bit different.

I mean, there's plenty of people. Like, I follow this shit on Twitter. There's plenty of sex workers. Because, like, that's a big political thing now. Sex workers are very vocal. And they're like talking about the difference between an uncomfortable situation, a molestory situation, an actual rape. Like, what I'm arguing is that that happens.

that there are people who go on and blog and they're like, ruin diseases life. But I feel like our country hasn't done that. Right. Those people are outliers that are mostly drowned out or disagreed with. But I don't think that's happening with anyone who makes a joke is a racist. You know what? You know what that's like?

I think we are losing that battle. You know what that's like maybe is how there was, what, 300 assholes at Charlottesville or whatever? and people were acting like that represented all of Charlottesville or Virginia or just in general or the south or whatever it's that type of thing but with the with the Me Too shits maybe like it isn't as big a deal as it's made out to be someone who's been through this shit but it gets so much more attention from people so well and I'm not saying no one's going too far I'm not saying no blogs are or the drinks are here good will give me a second Corey you do that while I look this no I'll do it I got go ahead where are you looking up this dude we're wearing you out I apologize recording this progressive commercial

on a real boat to let people know that we bundle your home and other vehicles with progressive progressive casualty insurance company affiliates and other insurers discount not available in all states or situations what's the podcast

it's called the well-read podcast it's on iTunes just check it out it's about a wide array of things yeah we're actually talking about politics right now surprisingly surprisingly surprisingly podcast but a lot of times we just talk about wrestling or whatever core you need to oh i need to sign this shit yeah yeah we often talk about wrestling and farts but we're actually

talking about political shit right now some of the issues today no we're mostly lowbrow frankly or at least on this podcast we have literally i have literally farted in the microphone already in this episode i didn't hear you i didn't it because it didn't come through baby i don't think Mr. Butt failed you, not us. All right. Any other word is right now? No, I think we're good right now. We're good. All right. You can call down and let me know. Thank you.

All right. This is what I have been seeing from a lot of the movement. And I'm not saying that no one's gone too far. And of course, I'm quoting a man, but this just happens to be the last thing that I saw. This is a gay, former porn star, now political activist and writer named Connor Habib that I fall on Twitter. He's hilarious. That's a different type of man. Sure. That's fine.

And as he gets into this thread, like he's a victim. Right. All right. It's a bit of a long thread for Twitter, but I think reading it ain't going to take that long. All right. Believe the victims. Yes, believe them. At the same time, we must talk about what constitutes belief and victimhood.

Because unfortunately, right now the battle cries, belief is believe the victims without much reflection on what that means. When we say believe, part of that belief, and this should be obvious, but unfortunately it's not, it was accepting that someone went through a painful experience. It's not a value judgment on the experience. It's not a determination on whether or not the experience really happened. The sort of belief is a counterbalance of the decades of non-belief. Decades of people, particularly women, saying I was hurt and other particularly men saying, I'm sorry, but I see no evidence of your hurt.

That counterbalance is needed. Why? A counterbalance of belief is needed to disbelief because disbelief is invested with power. Not just in court, but in public opinion in relationships where expressions of feeling are countered with no. It's actually that the events went this way and you'll see that it's not true. So first things first, practice believing. Bring this tactic to your own relationships. When someone says I'm hurt, don't reply with.

Nothing happened in the course of the events. That was hurtful. Acknowledge the hurt and bring that to the culture. So much of believing the victims is recognizing suffering. That's what's meant by the phrase. But when we talk about what constitutes victimhood, our own or someone else's, we do need to have deeper conversations about what kind of culture we are all responsible for and want. Only after acknowledging the suffering.

But I myself believe it's important to live in a culture where it's okay to have uncomfortable experiences of all sorts, including sexual experiences, and learn from them, without feeling like I'm a fucking victim of everything. Part of this perspective is growing up gay in a small conservative town where all gay sexual experiences were uncomfortable. Another is from being violently and repeatedly sexually assaulted. I see a very, very stark line between those two sorts of experiences. I acknowledge that many people may feel pain after having an uncomfortable sexual experience. I 100% accept the pain and suffering they experience. The question is not the suffering or the victimization, but to where to locate the cause. And then he goes on to talk about the different causes.

But I thought that was so fucking powerful and goes back to this disease and Zari thing. That bitch. There it is. You know what? That's actually a good time to take a break real quick.

Make it hit. Now, back to the podcast. Do you? What I was going to say is, the bitch who wrote that. She took this person's very painful experience. This woman's, wow, I'm calling the writer a bitch in the same. anyway. There it is.

Yeah. The one who wrote that. She took this very painful experience that this woman had and turned it into something she could get blog hits out of. I think that woman had a painful experience. But like he was saying in that thread. I think she had an awkward and unpleasant experience. And I think that was painful for her.

And that goes back to what he was just saying. You're now saying it wasn't painful because you think it was awkward and unpleasant. I'm saying it's... Awkward unpleasant don't hit and it sucks, but it's part of like dating life. That shit happens. And painful might be part of dating life. It is. I'm saying, I agree what he's saying,

that that can be painful without us having to, and we can discuss whether or not Aziz and Zahari has any responsibility for causing her pain. And during that conversation, it doesn't have to be, and you're a rapist, or you're an assauter.

But, and this is what I think he was saying, this is what I was saying to y'all, until the culture is more on board with acknowledging that pain and not questioning it immediately, and rapes get, you know, tried by cops on testimony because so does every other crime it's the only crime i know of where testimony is not enough um i don't i that's what we need to fix first in my opinion

joe i mean it don't hit but yeah i mean no i mean that how long is our uh sponsor this week oh it'll be a good a good four minutes for four minutes people will think i was calling the woman who is these and sorry had that whatever hell that's what I thought. Situation with a bitch. Now, I was thinking about the writer who was also a woman and I still deserve. Anybody that's going to care about that? I don't think we'll split hair.

Well, that will, I don't think that they'll separate the two. Oh, I know some people are still going to be mad that I called a writer a bitch, but I think what she did was bitchy, first of all. But second of all, that's usually what that is. Even if no, they won't split hairs over it, like, it means something to me that I was calling the writer of this annoying article who was just trying to get clicks a bitch versus is someone who had that happen. But you were saying, you do think, though, that this is happening and is kind of an

epidemic with getting offended by language? Well, trying to get people fired and trying to get people's lives changed by language. Yeah, I definitely feel that that's true. Well, it's like, and it's weird to find the counterbalance, because I do believe that, like, if I go to a university and me and 5,000, I don't know, Jewish students there don't want this speaker to come in because they say anti-Semitic things and say that I should be eradicated like you should be allowed to voice that you know what I mean like there are jobs that people lose because of what they say and that makes sense to me do you understand because like

yeah some jobs rely on what you but if his top 10 just had a good geo joke in it that's fine well I'm not just if any comedian I know I'm also saying that like sometimes someone has a job that has nothing to do with what they say and then they make a job joke and now you're trying to get them fired as the clerk at the pet shop. That's insane to me. Like if they're like kill all Jews, then yeah, okay, get them all fire. But like if they're just like, you know, sitting around going like, look, man, I think fucking affirmative action is bullshit and that white people ought to have affirmative action.

You're wrong, but I shouldn't try to get you fired for the pet shop. I don't want to, I don't want there to be unemployed anti-Semites out there. I mean, having time to sit around and just get mad and fake shit up. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. They need. And I don't mind is the devil's work. shot man i don't want it to be that dude so like no let him work at the pet store that's fine i'm

still thinking about that five minutes that the world of well red thought i called that woman a bitch well trust me that anybody'd be mad about that stopped listening 19 farts ago i promise you that what do you all think about this shit in florida not just people are mad it's just funny what else well so florida passed this whole this big bill still on florida what has happened now they passed a big gun control bill but and in it they armed teachers that so All right. It's like they raised the gun ownership age from 18 to 21. They limited the like mag capacity that's legal there.

They limited the cell of assault rifles. They did a couple other like genuine gun control measures. And they included the ability to arm teachers if and only if the school system in whatever county, like the, you know, that county's school district, whatever, and the sheriff's department in that county agree. I don't know if they vote or something. a fucking memorandum of understanding or what. But if they agree that that is an appropriate measure to take, then they can take it. I feel like the arming teacher's thing was just meant as like an olive branch, basically.

You know what I mean? They were passed this gun control bill and they were throwing that in. But the thing is, even with that in there, this happened, they passed that. But Rick Scott, the governor of Florida, or, yeah, that's right. I think that's right. It's Rick Scott. It's Rick Scott. The governor of Florida, he signed that.

name ever. Ever. Yeah, Rick Scott. My uncle Duke. Oh, yeah. That's true. That bill. And immediately the NRA sued the entire state of Florida.

Yes, they did. For passing that bill saying that this violates a second amendment. You can't do this. You know, whatever. And like, I'm not surprised by that, but that's just unreal to me. Like, the audacity that it takes, you know what I mean for them to look at all this. To look at everything that's happened. And go, we're suing the fucking states.

Specifically. And then just, yeah, sue the fuck out of them. It's like, you know, y'all are impeaching on our rights right now or whatever by trying to do something. Anything. Literally anything. But again, I'm not surprised by it. No, no, no, no, no. No, dude.

I'm not at all surprised. It's just the gall. It's just so shitty. I mean, but like, of course they did it because that's, that is how. That's their thing. Well, and also that is how. this will get played out. You know what I mean?

Like it'll go to the Supreme Court. The courts have been sort of deciding for the most part. I mean, policies are important and laws are obviously important, but the second amendment is one of the most litigated constitutional amendments there is.

Like most of them have to do with crimes, you know, like search and seizure and stuff. Beyond that, I'm pretty sure. I mean, it's either that one or free speech. Right. My point being... It's got to be free speech. My point being...

Yeah. It's going to be... That's the route it was going anyway. Right. And I'm sure that part of their play here was like, no, we need to strike now, to stay in the media to say whatever supporters we have to say to them, we're out here fighting for you.

Yeah, no, you're right about all that. Again, I'm not surprised by any of it, but it's just, Lord God. Actually, I'm glad we brought up guns because I did... The NRA versus Florida would be a great, like, D.C. movie. That sounds so metal to me. Or Rick,

the NRA versus Rick, Scott. It was pills, it was guns. Going back last week... It still is pills. It still is, guns. Going back to last week, and I'm surprised

I didn't get any shit for this when I was sort of, not defending, but it's like being like, no, I get why. Like, I was saying, like, if like a black gun owner told me, I ain't giving Trump

my fucking gun, I don't give a shit, you know, whatever, whatever. And you guys were like, yeah, but if the federal government wants your guns, they're going to come get it. You said last week, correct me if I'm wrong, that was a conversation we had on

Smalley's podcast, right? That wasn't on ours. Not that stupid? You're not stupid, but it is a conversation. So people don't know what you're talking about. So, yeah, it was Smalley's podcast. We were talking about gun control on another podcast that we did. And I was pointing out that anything we talked about right now. And what we

had said, I had said that all this shit lately, like the stuff, stuff we just talked about and everything before, like it's pushing me ever further left because it's, I'm just so disgusted by it all. Because I was very, I was moderate to write on guns for most of my life. And this shit is pushing me further in the other direction because it just makes me sick, man. And I don't know if it's because I have kids or what.

And then you said, okay, I hear you, but I'll tell you right now, fucking Trump tries to try to take my guns. Shit ain't happening. And if he wants to try to take my daddy's guns, that ain't happening. I mean, you know, I'm making you sound a little redder and I think you did. No, not true. Not true. He had slaw coming out of his mouth while he was saying it.

It was just fucking firing against the wall. So that's the context of this. Let me tie that back to the first thing relating to like, you know, jokes and free speech. I mean, all right, Nazis on campus. You know, we want, I've seen so many people on the left, y'all ain't these people, but I've seen some people on the left who want to regulate that. They want hate speech ain't protected and blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, you're right, it's not.

But who gets to decide what hate speech is? And that's a very tricky argument. I hate it. Well, let me, what I always said of people is like, you write me a law that Jeff Sessions can't use against Black Lives Matter. Right. You write that law for me. You show me the law that he can't use against Black Lives Matter meeting and used to crack down on them because he will. So going back to the guns thing, and that's what we was talking about on Smalley's podcast, I thought it was us with Todd last week.

No. Lighting and then one brief moment of. of a gun control political acuity. Yeah, but it was amazing. My buddy Thompson texted this morning

said, God do you, son, I didn't know exactly where y'all was going to go for about the first 15 or so minutes

with old glass there, but it ended up being one of my favorite episodes y'all've ever done. Yeah, he was like, 45 minutes later. He was like,

that's some but you something else. You don't even know shit. Someone on Twitter said, you all, maybe I ain't high enough or maybe I'm too high, but what the fuck was he talking I'm at first half.

We were, I want to, oh, my bad. But I want to say that I do think there's something to be said, even if it's just

the fucking principle of the goddamn thing. I'm like, no, I ain't giving the federal government my guns right now.

Like, Barack could have had them, but I don't know about giving them to Trump. And I know. But like, dog, I'm still not saying that. I don't want anybody to take A.R. 15s,

yeah, but shotgun, fuck no, don't take my shotgun. I know. I'm not even saying I feel that way. I'm saying that I'm saying

that I understand, other people feel on that. I really do. And you guys said last week, it's like, yeah, but if the government wants them, they're going come get them on an individual level. Right. What I said was, I thought, because of the way... Mine ain't registered, so no, they're not. Because of the way you had framed it, I thought what you were saying was, this is a tyrannical government that I don't trust, and so I'm keeping my goddamn guns.

And what you were saying was, I don't believe in there, that I should have to give them to them because fuck these people or whatever and the constant whatever but i thought you were saying that that that argument of arming yourself against a tyrannical government and what i said was i've always hated that argument because in this day and age with drones and shit like dog your ar-fifteen ain't doing shit about the fucking might of our federal government i think you're wrong really yeah let me explain myself yeah drones work to like take out big cities or you know, like a military base. But, and look,

we're getting into some deep fucking paranoia of some good old boys here. I'm just saying, I'm not saying I feel this way, I'm saying that if some good old boys, okay, my dad was like, no. If it was a militia. Trump can't take my goddamn guns. If a dude's hold up in a house, like in Waco,

yeah, the government's getting his guns. But if it's a situation where we actually have problems in this country, countrywide, first of all, you're assuming that the military would just flip on citizens. And second of all, that would be a very different fight than our government

against the Middle East. Like, are they really just going to blow Knoxville up? No. No. They would have to send troops in individually to go after individuals. And then the guns would be fucking helpful. Like, I know I sound like I'm like arguing for it. But see,

not everybody's going to do that. Because, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. But what if they're really... But that's pretty much what they did in Australia, right? They went around and rounded up, It's guns. It's peaceful. Okay, but what I'm saying is, if you,

like, if you want to hold up in your house with your family, when they come, when they get to your address on their little route, their little gun-taking route they're on, and they get to your address,

and you want to hold up in there and say, come and take them, motherfucker, I think they're going to. It wouldn't happen like that. Most people won't, but if they come to get mine,

they can fucking have them. I know. I got little kids in the house, take the fucking guns. I'm saying that if in this country that happened and a large group of gun owners didn't want it to happen, they wouldn't want to time have that battle.

Let me ask you. They would organize. Right. Let me ask you. That's true. Our government would have to make a decision. That's true. Have a literal blood battle with our own citizens on our own

soil. Right. And so a lot of people make the argument that well part of having the guns is just the fact that we won't give them up. Like that in and of itself is a piece of like, no, you can't have these. This is mine. I got sovereignty over myself. I just, I guess I'm so red. I just, I get it. I'm not saying

I agree with it. I'm not saying they can't have my, I don't have an AR-15. If I did, they could have it, but I get it. Yes. Question. Tell me how you feel about this? If they-

I got my own hangings and I got my own clips. Is that Eve 6? No, that was Destiny's child. Or Eve. Not Eve-6, Eve. I didn't mean Eve. Eve 6 is one different. I was taught on my pride,

I would choke on the ride. I was like, what, yeah, right? Here's to the night. We shot our guns. Let me ask you this. So a bunch of troops, they have to send troops into Knoxville And a bunch of southern motherfuckers are sitting there

How are they going to decide Between not giving troops their guns And still supporting the troops? Oh, it's fucked. You know what I'm saying? I thought their heads are going to explode. Well, I support you. But I ain't giving you my goddamn good, but I support you.

But on that note, now, to be fair, a lot of them troops Because they used to be them old boys and them old boys have been supporting them so long, they'd be like, oh, hell, man, I ain't shooting you. Just keep your fucking gun. Right. I mean, it would be, for the record.

For the record, of course it'd be a nightmare. For the record, I'm not, I don't think that they should go around and forcibly try to take everyone's fucking guns away either. Cash for clunkers. I think that if you, I think that if you can pass certain criteria in this country, you should be allowed to own a gun.

and I'm fine with that. All I'm saying is... Let's talk about that criteria. All I'm saying is, well, A, that, but when people say, no, we need these guns to defend ourselves against our own government, my immediate reaction is, come on, dog. Have you seen this movie ever? I'm saying I get that, but I don't think it's that simple. another case in point, man, is what happened in Vietnam. Like, we went in there, we had a far superior army,

but we couldn't just blow literally the whole country. We fucking tried. They also good at hiding. Exactly. We had to send troops in with guns to have one-on-one company. And look, I think this is crazy. I'm just saying I get it because I'm a little crazy. I get people being like, all right, well, hell,

what if fucking China comes over here? I mean, yeah, they might blow New York up. They're going to have to, by God, come get me. You know what I'm? Like, I'm not saying I agree with it. I'm not at all. I'm saying that roll in your eyes at protecting myself from the government. It deserves an eye roll, but I think it deserves a second glance.

At the very least, people who organize and have a bunch of guns, the government's going to have to be like, fuck, this is going to be a whole thing. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, it don't hit. And they could drone them, but what's that going to look like? Thank you, Chuck. It don't hit.

It don't hit. You ain't wrong. You ain't never lied. you know what you know what i think about gun control in general oh mr butt mr butt monson there yeah

yeah that's a thick and we at 45 god damn it stink who that's stained well i wanted to it was soup it was cream I wanted to talk about a TV show

all right before we do that but it's related to our culture it was cream be quick and look you're going to have some responses to this Corinne already discussed it we think you should wait to the end because mine builds so much and talk about your own family.

Okay. Because it gets funnier. So just let you roll is what you're saying? You know that I'm going to be inclined to interject and you're telling me I should not do that. I'm saying that I think, are you about to miss your butt? No. Just stretching your leg.

I'm saying that I think, whatever. Do whatever the fuck you want. Corey and I were talking about Uncle Duke. I don't know how we got to. Oh, UNC's playing Duke. And it said UNC Duke. Well, Butter was playing Villanova. And I said, look, Butville.

Butville. because it said B-U-T-V-I-L. I was B-U-L. I was like, B-U-V-I-L. And I was like, Uncle Duke. I should have had Uncle Duke. And then I started to think, I was like, hell, I probably did have an Uncle Duke because I've had a lot of uncles. And I told him, I was like, well, if you don't, man,

you got to just start calling one of your uncles, Uncle Duke, because Uncle Duke hits like a motherfucker for me. I started thinking about my uncles and who could be Uncle Duke. Okay. And this is what happened. Uncle Robert and Uncle Rodney, they couldn't be Dukes. Okay? They're fine.

I love them, but they're not Dukes, okay? So that's my blood uncles, only ones. And I was like, oh, I can't have an Uncle Duke. And I go, oh, I could think about all the men my aunts have married, my 13 ants, I think I have overall, 11. I don't know. Anyway, I could start naming them men, and here's what happened. Let's see, who could be Uncle Duke? Well, there's Uncle Jed.

I mean, he could be a Duke, but he's already Uncle Jed. So that ain't going to work. Let's see, what else I got? I got Uncle Conrad, but we called him Uncle Connard. I don't know if he's a Duke, but he's already Uncle Conard. we got Uncle Fuck now I'm forgetting them on I keep forgetting all my uncles

Murrell Uncle Merle already an Uncle Duke Yeah you can't change Uncle Merle to Uncle Duke No I agree I mean he's already Uncle Merle And as this list kept progressing I realized I mean I got an Uncle Jed I got an Uncle Merle

I had an Uncle Randy He was definitely an Uncle Duke But he's already fucking Uncle Randy Everyone that could have been a Duke Was already a Randy Jed or Merle Yeah that hits So then I got to my uncle Bill Now my uncle Bill is when my brother murdered later in life

So that was out, okay Uncle Mike, he's not an Uncle Boot Uncle Mark is the only one I have Uncle Mark drives a truck He's the most funny motherfucker on the CB I've ever heard of my life And Mark ain't quite Duke So I'm going to start naming him

I've decided he's my Uncle Duke Okay And I'm going to tell my Uncle Mark that But Conard, Merle, Jed and Randy are uncles that I have. Bill is an uncle that I have that my brother murdered. I was sitting in town all this to Corey and as it progressed, I was laughing. Whoa. What?

Yeah, I've told you that before. Bill, that dude was your uncle? Once upon a time, my aunt had married him. You didn't know that shit? And then that had been in the past. I thought he was like a Sunday school teacher. No, that was the big plot twist. Well, there's a few twists.

Well, yeah, that was a, that was, no, that was one of them. That's a winding river of a story there. Yeah. Anyway, okay. As the point is, as that was progressing, I was, I was impressed at my red cred. Yeah. Just my uncle's name is a lot. But uncle wise, I can't touch that except for.

You didn't have as many opportunities. I don't have, I just don't have that many uncles. I did have, you know, like, I got one that I put up against any of them, my uncle bubbles. My uncle bubbles. I had an uncle bubbles. He's long since, Dad. He got killed. but yeah but now other than that

and other than that it's all just great uncles man because my dad only had one and I mean and Uncle Tim who's well established in the lower but I'd like to he's a Tim could be a Duke that'd be a very different kind of he's Duke's Uncle Duke's Manhaze is what he is let me let you all listen

this is just my Uncle Jordan left me a voicemail the other day I'd like everybody to hear it on a podcast this is what inspired the Jim Deck voicemail from last week No, it was, wasn't it? Speaker. It won't it play?

It's don't help. You got it not on speaker phone. What? But it ain't even playing no matter what. I don't know what's happening. When you figured out, we'll get back to it. I got an Uncle Albert. He died when I was young.

I don't know if he was a Duke or not. I mean, if you start getting into my great uncles, and I've got Uncle Buddy, Uncle Clip. Oh, here it is. Uncle Clip's dad. I figure it. Tell me, I didn't nail it. You fucking crushed it.

That was Uncle Jim Dick. Little shit. Yeah, that guy, that guy. So that guy right there held himself hostage against the Georgia Bureau of Investigation one time. And survived. And survived. That guy.

He's been in four different diabetic comas that he came out of. And also one time on live television, whoop the shit out of a construction worker while they were covering it. Here on Bonnie, here on Bonnie Oaks Row. the traffic is really backed up all of a sudden in the back you hear, what? My damn it!

I got to get to work. You see my uncle go behind the goddamn traffic kind of whoop the fuck out of this old boy. So I'm saying, he's good. How is that not a viral clip? And his sit, because this is a, dude, this is like 98. Somebody's got it on tape.

It's a tape, yeah. His sister, I'd like to give my aunt Leslie a shout out right now because she just won the Chattanooga Dark League for the fourth year in a row. So, skew. Skew. Skew.

You, indeed. Aunt Leslie and Uncle Jordan, red as fuck. Uncle Bubbles, not as comical, but I mean, just as red, I would argue. He went to prison for, you know, making meth and stuff. And what was the end stuff? Just any variety of whatever could stick. Nefarious redness, yeah.

And then ended up getting killed by dude over a disagreement between their children. Oh, I remember this. high school, they were fucking each. They were teenagers that were porking each other. My cousin, Kenny Ray, free my, Kenny Ray. He's in jail. He in jail now. God damn.

Anyway, Kenny Ray was porking this girl when he was in high school. They were into it real bad. And because they were into it, that led to her daddy killing my uncle Bubbles. But here's the kicker. The dude that killed my uncle Bubbles, he also, was the daddy of the girl that I lost my virginity to. This is Bolognaut and Juliet. It ain't going to hit his hard now, especially after that.

I forgot Jerry Lee. Oh, yeah. I got one aunt who she'd been married six times. She's Aunt Duke. The one that males all in prison fellas. Nope, that's Aunt Donna. She had a Ray. I forgot about Uncle Ray.

But she was also Uncle Randy. So she has provided one of the uncles. that was the red as hell uncle team. She's doing good. I got a nice starting five. I forgot about Jerry Lee. How could I forget Jerry Lee? When you said Kenny Ray, I was like, God damn it, Jerry Lee.

Kenny Ray is my cousin. He's younger than me. He's pages age. You know, them two names. Yeah. I'm sure. Them three syllable two names. Jerry Lee.

That's exactly what he looked like, Corey. Corey was making a very Jerry Lee face. No, honestly. He had a mullet, but it was curled. With all of my family shit when it comes to all that, I mean, and you too, Drew, like, it's all actually pretty goddamn sad if you don't laugh at just the sheer redness of it. I'm about it said. You hear what I just said?

Yeah, but I mean, a construction worker's ass live on TV. Yeah, but before that, he held himself hostage against the GBI and also been in four diabetic fucking comas. And also, it was meth. It was pills. Well, it's up and down from my family. But, no, it is funny. And maybe you feel that way, too. like obviously what happened with my brother is just like a fucking tragedy but like my uncle mark

who i am now going to call uncle duke he owns his own business has for years he's a fucking pillar of the community you know he's a truck driver he hits he eats pork shops every day he's on his like third heart don't matter and uh shit i'm trying like uncle merle he's a farmer you know he's a good old boy now a few of them though randy was fucking redneck for i mean he still is but he was you know teetering, but now he's doing pretty good. Let me think. Now, most of them are doing all right. It's really just my brother.

Yeah, thanks, Tre. I never squeezed the lime in there. So, dude, most of mine or not. I never squeeze the lime in there. That's so much better. I have some aunts who had some... That makes a huge difference. Unreal difference.

But have figured it out. Like, one of my aunts has been married a lot, but the guy she's married to now, they've been together for over a decade. He's her fucking rock. My uncle, Don, who was married to my aunt, Kathy, he, I think I've told you about him. He came between two old boys that were having a disagreement over their land,

and the one old boy went to shoot his brother and shot my uncle Don in the head. Don't hit. Don't hit. Well, he lived, but he has severe brain damage from it, and because of so, he's got a tattoo on his wrist because of so. No, not, no, it's just. It's a memento shit. The tattoo on his wrist is a to-do list,

and he has to like anything important that he thinks of early on day, he's got to write that shit down. He constantly keeps shit written on the momento. That's exactly. I didn't hear you say memento. Well, it's funny because he said like memento and you said, no. And then described exactly. I thought I was saying no.

I was saying no to something else because I had said, I said on account of, I don't know something and you said something that wasn't it. And I didn't hear memento. Yes, exactly like memento except for. Right. No. He's mentos is what he is. He's pimento.

He's. Oh my God. That's better than Belomio and Juliet. You nailed it. But yeah. But yeah, anyways, he had got shot in his head. Yeah. And it did not hit.

No, don't hit. Listen, because I've brought up, I said that there was a goddamn show I was wanting to talk about. And, you know, I don't want people left on the edge of their seat. I want to at least mention it. Pemento has killed me. Because we're about to have to wrap up. What time's the first show tonight? Man, I don't know.

Probably seven. I'll look it up while you. I think it's seven, too. So we're about to have to head down there. We're having a pimento. Sammit. The show. I was wanting to talk about briefly

and just recommend the people. She wasn't having it. I really think that if we hit for you, then this show will hit for you, then this show will hit for you because I know me and Corey sure did enjoy it. Oh, fuck. I don't know you just want to. Damn, don't bring that shit up with three minutes to go on. I mean, go ahead.

It's called Tales from the Tour Bus, and it's on Cinemax, but you can buy the first season for $20 on Amazon. I highly recommend it. It's certainly worth $20. It's a Mike Judge joint, as far as I'm concerned. boy don't miss ever can't miss

he bats a thousand in my book and uh and it's a it what it is is it's animated story it's animated true stories about old school country music legends and it's like I knew this already

but watching that show it just really highlighted for me just how sorry and full of shit these present day in I'm doing our quotes now outlaw country motherfuckers are. It's unreal.

Putting any of these that put Florida Georgia Lion, Jason Aldine, Luke Bryan, any of them up against fucking Johnny Paycheck, Billy Joe Shaver, George Jones. Jerry Lee Lewis, Lord. Who was huge. You know what I mean?

Oh, yeah. These guys were fucking massive at the time. And loot, drunken maniacs dog. Every goddamn one of shot somebody. They went to fucking jail. They were wild as fuck. That was my favorite. part of, that was one of my favorite lines.

It's such a good show. At the very end, Mike Judge was doing the last, I won't give it a way. And also, I'll say this. The best way if you do buy it on Amazon is to just click play and don't look. Right. Don't look to who the next episode is. Like, Mike Judge does a reveal at the beginning, and it's more fun to not know. To not know. So I'm not even going to tell you the last guy was.

What country legend they're going to cover in each episode. At the end, he was doing like the last one. And Mike Judge, who like, Drew pointed out in it, it didn't ruin it for me. It made it hit harder. It's like, Mike Judge just naturally sounds so much like, butthead like it's so funny and he was sitting there and he and that one of the last ways he goes he sounds like butthead mixed with hank hill he did the voice for both of them but his natural speaking voice to me he goes uh he goes a combination of those sure one of the lines he said then he goes

this story culminates like a lot of the other stories on this uh as usual uh someone got shot it was so fucking or the or the or i think the the guy much like most of the people on this list he shot a guy it was fucking un because they all All shot somebody. All. I mean, drunk, coked out,

fucking. Dude, that speed that he's making. Yeah. And, dude, our boy. Jackets and shit.

And I got to tell you, the unsung hero of this motherfucker is, as our boy Tarp, who, uh, he was just, there was like, it was cool as there was like eight dudes,

eight country singers they want to get, but they're interviewing kind of the same people because they all played with each other and stuff. They're playing with each other. It's fucking wild and you guys need to check it out. Yeah. I can't. We, Corey and I cannot recommend it.

Matter of fact, you really didn't watch it. Watch it and then tweet at us about it with the hashtag well-read podcast. And we'll cover, we'll talk more about on Twitter with you about one of that wild mess because goddamn. I got on one last night. I got high as fuck. And I've been on a Johnny Paycheck kick on account of that show. Johnny Paycheck's always hit for me. But when you really find out something about an artist, it makes everything.

It illuminates everything. You know, I've been crying on planes. Yeah. Oh, Vi-Ly. About wrecked me earlier today, dog. That Darrylfurtier version was good. It wasn't, it wasn't that it's not, like, it's not the best version. He just died three weeks ago.

But he just died three weeks ago. And that song ends with, we've given everything to country music, and soon we'll give our life. Son, so last night, I've got, I got. I can hold a fireland. That's such a head. God, that song's so fucking fire, man. Now, given he ought not ever gotten out of jail to record it. But I'm glad he did.

But I'm glad he did. Guys, as usual, we've appreciated y'all tuning in, and we love you, and we're going to have to go do this show. And it's Mormons, it's cream, it's liquor. Country music hits. So hard, and if you don't think so, you don't hit. I concur. All right, well, let's go do these shows, boys.

Scoo! Scoo! Scoo! Thank you all for listening to the well-read 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
