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, 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.
In a way that's easier for you to digest,
you can even automatically create,
custom budgets based on your past spending.
Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled
subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps.
Premium features.
I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different
language learning services that I just wasn't using.
So I was like, I should know Spanish.
I'll learn Spanish.
and I've just been paying to learn Spanish
without practicing any Spanish for, you know,
pertinent two years now or something like that.
Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,
but I got an app,
lovely little app where you could, you know,
put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts
and stuff like that.
So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two,
those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies.
You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas.
Yeah.
So that was money.
What was that 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.

Skiy.
of dinosaur.
He's also good.
He's also good.
He said Jack Black was the best
community actor of all time.
We're not recorded, by the way.
Well, I'm obviously
what I say that I'm speaking
in semi-hyperbole
and I'm like on one right now,
but I do feel that
Jack Black does not get his credit.
Is he the best of all time?
No.
He's one of the best for sure.
There's no doubt about that.
Comedic actors.
No, no.
Top five, top ten.
I mean, if I said top five or top ten, I'd say yes, top ten, but I'm speaking out of my ass because I'd have to go through my list or whatever.
But like, in terms of dynamic can steal a scene and crush and go from sad crying to insanely funny, the range that he has.
And also, by the way, could be a fucking opera singer.
The guy's insanely talented.
Have y'all ever seen?
Have you ever seen?
Do what?
You've been sticking out of your ass last five minutes.
It's picking up.
It should.
Well-read listeners, if you can hear them from off back there, that is my father, Papa Dale, has joined us here on this trip.
We're in Oklahoma City.
Fuck a Papa, God, fuck a trailer, fuck everybody.
Fuck a flight, fuck a trailer.
Fuck everybody.
Fuck y'all, if you doubt me.
I'm a piece of fucking white trash.
I say it proudly.
Here, tell these people something they don't know about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have y'all seen Tenacious Day live?
Yeah.
Oh, wait.
In concert.
I mean, I've seen the HBO special.
I mean, like, in person.
No.
I guarantee it's, have you?
Oh, they look like Bonner.
Was it awesome?
Because KG also is awesome.
Dude.
Kyle gas is hilarious.
I totally forgot about this, but I had just, like, eating some mushrooms or something that I had bought there.
And then we went to that show, and the show was starting.
And then this, in the middle of where we were standing, this dude, started having, like, too much drugs seizure.
Uh-huh.
Oh, shit.
Like, on the ground, like, fucking foaming at the mouth, like, shit.
And before the people, like the, whatever, the medics that worked there,
before they got over there and got there to him,
the group of other just Bonner goers that were around him,
they were all leaned over.
And like, I was just standing there looking over this huddle of people
that are over this guy who was freaking the fuck out.
And one of those people who was just watching him just fell over on the ground
that also started having a seizure.
God.
And in my mind,
so it looked like some zombie shit.
In my mind, I was like.
I'm new.
Oh shit, I'm about to have a seizure.
I was like, we're all about to have a seizure.
I would have been like, Jack Black is crushing.
I thought it was some kind of like,
very briefly for a moment, I thought it was some kind of like, no, I thought it was a biological attack.
Did you say it?
That's what I said zombie shit.
That's what I thought.
I was like, they sprinkled shit over the bottom roof.
We're all, yeah, about to be zombies or something.
And then pretty much immediately I was like, no, that's stupid.
But I would have thought.
And then I went back to the show.
I bought what they bought.
I would not have been able to let go of that for now.
No.
Did you ever see the...
But I was fine and the show was awesome.
You said brown acid.
Did you ever watch the...
I'm not in it for my health, the Levon Hound documentary?
Yeah.
I love that part where they were...
It's him and all his buddies in there, and they were talking about Woodstock or whatever.
And somebody was like, yeah, man, that was when all the brown acid was going around.
Levon was just like, yeah, man, I just told everybody bring that to my bus.
Hell, I'll take it.
I don't give a fuck.
What's they're doing?
And I did.
I did a whole shit ton of it.
And hell, I was fine.
And that was like his thing.
Levin, he got any drug he wanted because people were like, no, don't have that.
And Levin's like, bring it on over here.
I don't give a fuck.
It doesn't matter.
And so he took all the brown ass and was like, thank shit.
He's arguably the Jack Black of rock and roll music.
Is he underrated?
He is to the majority of people.
To us, like we worship at the altar.
But like, yeah, if I say Levin Hound to 100 people, the majority are going to be like,
I think I know.
And that's not even true.
Jack Black.
You say Jack Blake to other people and nine of them are going to know.
I think Tom Petty's the Jack Black.
For sure, for sure.
But if I said, so everybody's going to know Jack Black.
But if I said to 100 people,
Jack Black should have been nominated for Oscars that,
dude, what are you talking about?
The fat comedian that just does wild shit?
And I'm like, yeah.
If you say Tom Petty, and we've talked about this, my guess,
we say, Tom Petty is as good as the stones.
I say it all the time better.
People are like, oh, you don't know, or he's not as influential.
I'm like, I don't know about that.
He's not here.
Who is Levon now?
Who's the Levin-Han Hamilton County?
Well, people don't know the name as much.
Well, I was, I mean, this is just me.
I would always say, and I would have always just said Tim Wilson, like somebody's great.
And I say that because...
Oh, I thought we're doing comedic actors.
Oh, okay.
Well, because Tim Wilson, a fun fact for a lot of people, because I talk about Tim all the time, rest in peace.
LeVon played drums on three of Tim's albums, which is the coolest thing I've ever heard.
I'll never be that good as a comedian that I can get somebody like LeVon to play drums on my album.
Right, because he's dead.
So who is the, what were you asking?
Who was the Levant of comedic actors?
I don't think it's Jack Black, but he's more famous than Levant was.
So who's underrated and doesn't, I think I,
Barron Holtz, he might be getting there now.
Yeah, he's great.
For years, he's crushing everything.
Everything.
He just couldn't, you know what?
Yeah, nobody gave him the dog.
One of those mad TV people, I can't even think,
Mo, what's Moe's last name?
What's her last name?
Williams.
She crushes.
Yeah, she does crush.
She's so awesome on Pars and Rick is Jane Calamezo or whatever.
God, she killed.
She's so fucking funny on that.
Let's hear it for the boys.
She just sitting there taking pills trying to fuck Aziz.
I was that wrong.
Is it Aziz or Aziz?
I always said Aziz.
Is it not Aziz?
No, I said Aziz.
No, I'm saying when I, Nat had got on to me.
Nat had got on to me because I was like, oh yeah, that's Aziz.
And she's like, Aziz, you fucking idiot.
And I'm like, I just, I hear it, I see it and I read it.
I don't ever hear it said.
So.
I don't hit.
We still haven't answered the question
John C. Riley don't really get his comeuppance to me.
John C. Riley, I think, no.
He does.
That's a good one.
He's always second fiddle to Will Ferrell, though.
I think he plays the name.
Say the name.
Go to back to music.
You go up to 100 people on the street and you say the Lee Vaughn's name.
There are going to be a lot of them.
It depends on the age of the people, too, for the record.
But just 100 random people.
I mean, I'd say over half of them are going to know.
Like a good amount of them are going to know and know that he hits.
If you bring up the band, the number's going to rise.
Oh, yeah, shit.
I think if you go up to 100 random people on the street and just say the name John C. Riley,
it's going to be over half of them.
If you say the guy that comes star of Will Farrell and Tate Dagan Nights and Stepbrothers,
they're all then going to be like, oh, right, yeah, that guy's awesome.
And half of them are going to go, oh, you just say the name?
This makes the analogy breakdown.
a lot,
but as a non-commetic actor,
as a dramatic actor,
he gets a lot of dudes,
especially on Broadway.
I think because they're like...
I mean, Lee, my room is extremely respected.
Sure.
I'm literally only talking about mainstream,
not like in the industry.
Like, in the industry, they know that about Jack Black.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, nobody in the industry is thinking
that they ain't figured Jack Black out yet.
You know what I mean? It's just like, to me,
mainstream. And John C. Riley, to me,
has always, unfortunately,
most part, except for Walk Hard, which was
Judd-Apital's least grossing
like it was so criminally underrated.
He's not a bankable star, he's not,
he always plays second fiddle to Will Ferrell, which is
a good fiddle to play, by the way. Like, that's a good
guy to be in Camper. Maybe I'm like
somehow, well, maybe
I'm biased in the sense that I knew who John C. Riley
was and was a fan of his before he ever
even started doing a lot of times. I'm just
talking mainstream, yeah. Oh yeah, he kills
in fucking buggynots, man. We were talking about.
I've never thought of him as a second fiddle of Will
Farrell other than he did that's like a thing he does
to me you know what I'm saying
you're a different you're a different type of person I'm again just talking
mainstream like yeah I've dove into his old shit too
and it was fantastic we were talking earlier about Kong Skull Island
yeah he's awesome in that movie and he's funny
like he's not playing a just he's not necessarily the comic relief
all the time you hear that sounds like yeah it's an ant
I know it sounds like a bird but it's not it's a fucking aunt
no he's
he's great
he is
oh that's good
he is truly great
no I didn't
that just moved
and it knocked
it knocked this over
so there's going to be a big
if I use that idea
I don't know when
you could not
true
we're planning on
like I've got one thing
that I for sure
I want to talk to you all about
at some point
I want to still
keep talking about comedy
if we're doing that
I want to know
because
I said John C. Riley, and I still, I want your answer, because that's what I said.
With you, I think that's a good one.
You guys have about convince me, because I'm just realizing that I view John C.
Riley the wrong way.
Like, I'm too big of a fan of his to see it correctly.
But then that's also how I feel about Levan.
So, like, it's even more analogous.
They're both beloved and super admired, but.
Mainstream.
And if you've described to a random person on the street some of their shit and what they've done,
that person's going to be like, oh, okay, I.
Right, yeah, I know who you're talking about.
But if you just say just their name,
a lot of those random people on the street
are not going to know what you're talking about,
whereas if you say Jack Black, everybody is going to know.
Right.
So, I mean, I think everybody knows Tom Petty.
Right.
Yeah, I think the Jack Beck and Fettty is.
I think they're both good enough.
Unacellable.
Let me tell you who.
I think they're huge compliments to all four parties involved.
Did I just say that word incorrectly?
What you said?
You said unassailable?
Unasailable.
Ways him.
It's way Tompetties without a doubt.
I'm unacellable.
This is, I guess, coming full circle with the Ack Baron Holtz thing, but a surprising, somebody that really surprised me.
Like, you know, they're a big-time hitter, and I know they can act or whatever, but you know that movie Blockers that just came as Cockrockers?
Well, I went and saw it, and Hadeshawks is in it.
He's one of the main guys.
Also one of the main guys, John Sina, and he is very funny.
Joe Sita is a great comedian character.
He is, and I just, I haven't seen it.
He said action time.
I've seen him.
That's what he tried to do at first.
Yeah.
The Marine and a couple of other things, and he was not good.
Not good at all.
He also probably practiced since then.
Right.
For sure, he's been going to advice and stuff.
He was in a tour to pharmacy too, and he's hilarious.
Yeah, but this was, he played the lead and actually carried the movie and, like, pulled it off was really funny.
It makes him funny.
He's a ham.
Yeah.
He's not like a badass lead like the rock was.
Yeah, like he, well, he is, but.
But he's a ham.
He's like, you can't see me.
He's got gimmicks.
He's not.
The rock is.
dude, the rocks smell what the rock is cooking.
The rock was the most that.
I feel like Johnstein and the rock are kind of the same.
I think the rock hits harder, but that's just because he was my, like, you know, kids nowadays.
The best.
Me and Dad talk about that all the time.
You remember Mr. Peepers?
Yeah, yes, when him and Chris Caban.
And the monologue was great.
He's sitting there and he looks up and there's Triple H and Mankind or whatever he goes, oh, triple
H.
I thought I smelled dander shampoo and monkey turds.
And it was just the perfect delivery of that.
and it was fucking hilarious.
But I think that, like, him and Sina are kind of the same archetype of person.
Sina was definitely the, like, successor to the, right?
For sure.
In the world.
And, like, obviously, I think you think the thing that you grew up on is the best,
but, like, 18-year-old right now would argue with me to the death that, no, Senna's actually.
And I'd be like, well, you're not wrong.
John Sina has fulfilled more make-a-wish wishes than anybody ever.
He's a great dude.
He's a, yeah.
Yeah, ever.
He holds the, dude.
That's all.
He literally, that's his, that's his fucking, like, that's his day job.
He doesn't take a day off.
If he's not working, he's at the hospital.
He's, like, you know, going and doing videos with kids.
Like, and again, you know, it keeps the public appearance up.
There's one thing to say about that.
But at the same time, he could just do two or three, and it'd be fine.
But, like, he clearly wants to do that.
No, he seems like a great dude.
Yeah.
Yeah, and by the way, so is the rock.
Right.
But I think Sina really, I would really.
I'm sure that because of how it works, and I love him and put him on a pedestal,
he will fail me one day, and he probably has a head in his freezer.
But John Cena does seem like a pretty amazing dude.
Almost too amazing.
He's a lesson of Michael West.
He's super jack, good-looking.
He just said, yeah.
Well, you heard it here first.
John Cena's butt-fucking kids.
That made your dad laugh, but like, I'm not sure how well that's going to be received.
You don't mean it, obviously, yeah.
Well, yeah, but I just.
Well, the point of that, I don't obviously really believe that,
It does seem like you're so scared.
I'm more scared now to put people on, to love people too much because then.
All the people that have followed.
Like Cosby, that dude, there's some, like, Cosby was the fucking hero for any shit.
I mean, at the time, like, he's the, oh, my God, you get out.
And the famous quote, kill all your heroes.
Yeah.
By the time you're 30 years.
Yeah.
I tweeted other night drunk.
I was like, Lord God, if anybody's got anything on Mr. Rogers, just shut the fuck up.
Like, let's just let that one.
Of course they don't.
Every Tom Hanks, man.
And Tom Hanks is done when I was like,
if I thought Tom Hanks had some shit.
No.
No.
No.
There was an onion article.
It was like,
he's like the non-
former PA accuses Tom Hanks of, uh,
something like being overly polite on said or something like that.
He's like the not drunk Bill Murray in terms of like he does those type of thing.
Like Bill Murray's hammered when he does it,
but Tom Hanks was just like that picture of that dude hammered and Tom Hanks is just taking a picture with him.
This guy's like 21st birthday or somebody's passed out of a bar and a booth and Tom Hanks just happened to come into that bar.
comes over there, it gets the dude's phone.
And I mean, his buddies are all there and know it's happening.
He gets the dude's phone and takes all these selfies with him and shit with this passed
out guy.
Yeah.
And then the dude had no idea.
Then the next day, just like going through his pictures, whatever.
And there's just all these pictures of him and Tom Hanks.
Did you mean to bring him up because he's playing Mr. Rogers?
Did you know that?
I knew there was that big time.
There's a biopic out.
There's a documentary out right now.
There's a biopics coming later this year.
And Tom Hanks is playing Mr. Rogers.
I don't know.
I just brought it up because, I mean.
I know.
No, but that's why I'm saying.
He's the perfect guy to play Mr. Rogers.
Me and Dad talked about it's like, A, they showed a picture.
I was like, I can see that.
And B, he's the only person that I feel can genuine,
that he can play Mr. Rogers.
And I, like, because, you know, if somehow,
if I like Baldwin looked like Mr. Rogers and he played it,
it would, it would be hard for me to go,
well, Baldwin can be a dick from time to time.
But I need Hanks to do it because I can go, yes, I also,
he's a sweetie.
So, he's fun, dude.
And he's funny.
He's funny as shit.
If you ever this podcast or interviews with him, like long ones?
He's real fun.
He did a Kevin Pollock's podcast.
It's like a two-plus hour conversation with him.
Of course, Pilots been around forever, so Tom Hanks has known it forever.
Tom Hanks is just like good-nitching on him the whole time for being like, you know,
like just a background character actor, got like those types of jokes throughout the whole thing.
And it's hilarious.
But you can tell like, you know, it's all, like I said, good nature and everything.
None of it comes across shitty.
or mean, but it's funny.
I don't know.
He just, how many people.
The only person in the world who hates Tom Hanks is Michael Piedon.
You think he actually?
He makes Tom Hanks?
I don't know if he does or not, but if Tom Hanks didn't exist,
Michael Keaton would be as famous as Tom Hanks.
You think so?
He'd gotten every role Tom Hanks got.
And I'm the first person to talk about this.
Bill Simmons wrote like four articles back in the day when he did
when he wrote on top stuff.
No, I can say that.
Their careers were at the same time.
They were up for a lot of the same roles early on in their careers,
and Keaton ended up going the darker route,
because he is darker.
Okay, well, Keaton played fucking Batman,
so I think it's, all right.
Yeah, no, he's fine.
Keaton's thing,
I think Keaton really just didn't want to do a lot of stuff,
because, like, he played a very critically acclaimed version of Batman,
and I think he just,
and he probably got type-casted for that,
but I don't think that was like Hank's saying.
He definitely dipped out, but I'm talking about early on his career
that we're up for a lot of the same roles.
The one where the house was falling apart,
I'm pretty sure it was down to him and Keaton on that way.
I bet you Keaton was up for Punchline.
Yep, I know he was.
That's part of the article.
Yeah, and Tom Hanks got,
Which, by the way, that movie's no good, but Tom Hanks does play one of the more convincing stand-up comics played by not a stand-up comic.
You know, he was going up at the story of the show.
Yeah, and he did the punchline in Atlanta.
Yeah, he was like doing stand-up while he was.
He was having people right for whatever.
He was still going up in front of real crowds or real shows.
I wrote for Andy for a little indie film she shot last week and she said she crushed on set.
What was the woman's name who plays the Mark with Miss Meisel?
She's killing.
She was Rachel Brise.
Yeah, yeah, she was just on Sam Jones.
You watch that on Netflix?
It's called Off-Camberer with Sam Jones.
Sam Jones is like a very famous celebrity photographer,
and he's the dude that they hire to photograph movies,
like when Goodfellas, like he'll do.
Production stills.
He's that guy, and so he knows everybody,
and everybody's worked with him,
and he's very good at long-form conversation interviews
that don't seem like a late-night set
where you're like, oh, you were born and fucking, like, he just starts, and then there you go.
She just...
He's got a podcast they found?
It's, no, the show is on Netflix, and it's really pretty and black and white, and it's kind of like inside the actor's studio.
Like, he has his questions, but it all just kind of flows.
But, yeah, they record the audio, and you can just hear it in podcast form.
But it's really good, and she was just the latest episode to drop, and I want to hear it, because she's fantastic.
That show is amazing.
Dude, she does...
The whole universe of it, like, just the set design, the costumes, everything, like the writing, like the dynamar.
Do you all know, Noah Gordon Schwartz?
Oh, it's a door.
Yeah.
No, Gordon Schwartz, he started Atlanta.
He writes for it.
Yeah.
No, it's, dude, so mom and dad started watching it, and then you told me, or Andy, I think actually had told me she said.
Andy got me on.
Yeah, Andy told me we were in D.C. or some of the bar, and I was like, well, fuck, I'm into old-time comedy, and if it's face.
on John Rivers, I'm fucking in.
And also the dude that plays
Lindy Bruce, he does the best
Lenny Bruce I've ever seen.
Because it's very...
Yeah, what's his name?
I don't know.
It's very subtle, like he didn't go over
that, like, if somebody was playing Woody Allen,
and they'd be like, and I have to go,
there's no skills left in the, you know,
but he does Lenny, like, the way that it probably
actually was when he wasn't on stage.
And also,
fucking Jane Lynch
murders at that,
at her, what I'm going to call her,
anime.
Well, another underrated
comedian comedian
from Mad TV
and I forgot on her name.
She played Mrs. Swan
on Mad TV.
She plays...
Alex Bornstein.
She's great.
She's lowest in family guys.
So she is underrated
but she's getting paid.
She is so good.
She's fucking amazing.
There's this show...
Mrs. Swan was so fucking racist.
I went back so...
I went back so...
The other day and I was like,
wow, you're just...
Like, the whole joke
is that you're Chinese.
She's ambiguously Chinese.
And you can't understand
people and they can't understand you.
Yeah.
Over and over again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He looked like a man.
He looks like a man.
He looks like a man.
But, you know, as far as people portray in racist Chinese characters, she's better than
Mickey Rooney, I'll tell you that.
Yeah, that was going.
We, what wasn't on Mike, wasn't when we talked about you playing that role in the
remove, if they remove your pay your records?
That's just how my career ends.
I just do yellowface and everybody gets fucking pissed up.
Dude, do you all remember or know that Ted Denson was in Blackface?
When he was dating Whoopi Goldberg.
When he was at Rousie Goldberg, which wasn't televised, he did Blackface.
Ate watermelon said to N-word the whole time.
The only reason he got.
It did not play.
No, it didn't play.
Bomb, massive, like the New York Times drove.
Oh, yeah.
It was a big deal.
His only save.
I was reading about that he was dating Whoopi.
I was, and she defended.
She was like put him up to it and shit.
Yeah.
It's like, but.
What?
My goddamn black.
I was reading about that earlier today, Internet Rabbit Hall.
I knew about it, but I'd forgotten.
And I was just like, that's wild as hell.
It's insane.
1993.
So he bounced back from it.
Well, we just talked, we were talking about this.
He also ruled.
This is what led us in the Jack Black.
No footings is why he got away with that.
I saw this on, right.
I saw this on Black people Twitter the other day, and they were just talking about it.
If you want to, if you want to know how badass a movie is,
uh, Robert Down Jr. is the only motherfucker we ever let side doing black face because it was so fucking good.
Like when he did it in the movie, which I mean,
There's a layer to it.
It's also right.
That's the joke.
That's why.
Of course that's why.
And that makes total.
But I have people go, oh, what?
He can do that.
Nobody gives a shit because he's a liberal.
I was like, no, because the movie was making fun of the fact that he did Blackface.
So how else are you going to do that other than to put him in Blackface?
If he just had done Blackface and went to a goddamn Halloween party eating fucking Watermelon,
that'd be the fucking shittiest thing ever.
But he played a character that it was dumb that he was doing Blackface.
Yeah, there was a whole point of that.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But also, it was amazing.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
We haven't talked about any of the things we said.
We can now.
Okay.
I'll start.
Shit's going crazy.
Well, that's not what I was going to say.
I should probably start because that's going to pray to rel us.
Okay.
We can close with that shit.
Y'all blew my mind last night.
It's going to be another segment of Bible study with Trey here, which we haven't done it
a long time.
Oh, that's true.
I had no idea.
We had dinner last night, and y'all,
told me about, what are they called?
Like, road dog and preachers?
Oh my God, I can't talk. Traveling preachers.
That, like, work of circuits.
Yeah.
Like, they're preached.
They like do a set.
They're like roadblood.
They're like, do a set.
That's sort of what evangelical mean.
Yeah.
Okay.
You don't have a church.
And you don't have a church.
Yeah, because you got to go do it in places.
You're not a pastor.
You're an evangelical preacher.
Yeah, okay.
Because a pastor leads his flock and he has this.
But so, like, at y'all's churches you grew up in.
How often would that happen?
You'd have a guy come through and do a set.
Do a, do a Jesus said.
Yeah, about twice a year.
And then you would take up money to pay the guy.
He got the door.
It's the door.
So the kind of circuit Corey was describing happened very infrequently in the church I grew up in.
But a smaller circle of people just from around the county, I mean, buddy, that was our lineup.
there was the pastor
and then there was about five
or six preachers that would just preach sometimes
you know yeah it's actually
where I got the idea but the guys that traveled
that like again like who books that
God they have like
God yeah they get called
how do they Paul
I actually wanted to do a sketch about this
a long time ago
you know what I think me and you were hammered
one night and you just
God does get 10%
and you totally just didn't get the joke
and now I understand why you didn't get the joke
because of it.
that, I wanted to do a sketch
that was an open mic for preachers.
Like it was like, you know, on a Tuesday
these preachers they were trying to do it. They go
up and work on their new top five about how gay
people suck. And so, you know,
the opposite of our act. But
I wanted to do that sketch. Like, how
are they, and that's, I mean, this is essentially
that these are
the rogdogs. These are the guys.
Like, Joel Osteen is Kevin Hart.
Right. Okay. But these motherfuckers are
Okay, but like the people, the deacons or whatever, the people that are in charge of any given church.
How far in advance do they know?
Is it like a thing that's like built up?
It's like on the calendar.
It's like there's like promo for it.
It's like, hey, don't forget on the 23rd.
We got what Corey was describing.
Yes.
I'm describing, they'll just come to the church.
You usually definitely.
Like, you know, the preacher would be like, you know, I didn't have anything.
You know what it was?
It was built into the pastor.
vacation schedule.
It would always have,
now that I'm thinking about it,
because it would always happen
during the summer,
and like the pastor would be like,
hey, we're going to have Reverend Sam Kathy here
while Brother Paul is on a mission trip
to the fucking, you know, whatever.
Were they, like,
famous in that world?
Yeah.
People would be like thought about it?
Dude, dude.
I want people be excited that this guy's coming in.
My mom's dad went to a church
like that and she would talk about her childhood
this way.
Yes.
But I want you to know, this is also a sort of chicken.
This is like not fully,
but this is kind of
those things.
Well,
if they've got a whole circuit,
I mean...
What I mean is
another way
that Chichamaga
is a little different
than where you and I
grew up.
Right.
There ain't no money
in some...
By the way,
they don't know.
They're there.
That's a way...
And again...
And we're not near an interest.
But that's not...
You can ask that.
Shiloh, where we went to church
was not Chikamaga.
And also nobody...
There was only one family
there that had money.
And when they left,
it was like,
oh, bad.
Did people at Shallow?
Was that a rich church?
Fuck no.
We went to Oakwood, it was, because Oakwood wasn't Chickamauga proper.
Shiloh, no.
But these travel, so the popularity, yeah, dude.
They would be like, oh, my God, same happy stuff.
But I'm saying that I know about this world because my mom talked about it a lot from when she was a little girl in Knoxville.
Yeah.
At smaller churches in Knoxville.
I think also our lack of proximity to an interstate.
Yeah, they just couldn't get to you.
We're just way more isolated.
It's not that we could afford them.
They just couldn't get to your fucking place.
Well, what you said about the popularity, and this is, I just used Sam,
Kathy is an example because he's one that I remember
he was a you remember
that's no relation to the chicken no no
I mean honestly maybe because they're
I mean it's same region
same regions that now everybody doesn't know the Kathy family
is the ones that Chick-fil-A
that Chick-fil-A yeah and almost got in a fight with
the air to the Chick-fil-A for them
chicken boy they have
they have similar belief systems
that's what I'm saying I mean it checks out no it
does check you know what I just fully believe it
actually you know what no he's prominent
dad he was a prominent guy didn't Sam
Kathy kind of looked like the turret he looked because true Kathy was bald Sam
Kathy was bald they had the like okay you know last name North Georgia hates gays
you remember the old you remember the old and I never met a preacher that didn't
like fried chicken you remember the uh when Toy Story came out and they did like the first
Pixar short and it was the old bald guy that was like had the glasses on he was
fixing the watches or whatever yeah that's just for to describe it that's exactly what
Sam Kathy looked like he looked like that old little like the villain in Dead Bull 2 one of the
villains.
Yeah,
yes.
He kind of
except the
old.
I don't say
that.
Oh,
yeah.
Bro.
I know.
It's the,
the villain
in Deadpool 2 is
in Sherlock
Holmes, the
constable with the beard
that ends up
being, you know,
what I'm talking about
Robert Down Jr.
Sherlock?
Yes, Robert Down Jr.
Sherlock.
Fucking, uh,
Jared Harris?
No.
That's the second one.
That's a comedian.
He's a professor.
No.
Jared Harris,
the actor is
Richard Harris's son.
He was Moriardy in
the Sherlock movies.
He's Moriardi in the second one.
They only,
they tease more
the first one when it's
Stanley Tucci. Oh yeah.
So the guy that's the...
You guys are doing the southern name of thing
about movies. It's so funny.
Whatever. The leader of Scotland Yard is that fucking guy.
Regardless. So when Sam Kathy would come,
yeah, it was a big deal and people were super
pumped about it and we, my family
he would like come eat at our house because
we had a really nice house. My mom was the best cook.
We were very, you know, we were a good looking family.
That's just what you see him over there. We're going to entertain.
And people will be like, oh my God.
Y'all had Sam.
in your house, he was at your house?
Oh my God?
And I was like, yeah, he was a
terrible conversation.
We had an old Christian
eating cake at our house. It wasn't a good day.
You know what I mean? It was Sunday.
Me and Dad were wanting to watch the goddamn
Titans game, and we couldn't.
You didn't watch sports on Sunday.
The preacher coming over, I used to have a bit about this,
was the worst. No, it's in the book.
I wrote about it in the book.
The preacher comes over. It's the worst day ever.
He was the type of person.
There was a lot of these persons that.
Always got the best piece of chicken.
I never told you this, but this was literally a thing.
I remember here when I was a kid, you would drive by,
and somebody's yard would be like, the grass would be dead.
So I'd be like, I bet they mowed it on Sunday.
I swear to go, and I'll be like, what?
And they go, yeah.
They bet, yeah, Bill went out there.
He didn't go to church with his wife.
He stayed at home, and he mowed the grass, and now their yard is dead.
And I'm like, dude, God seems like the biggest fucking most vindictive, like child is a shit.
Yeah, like, oh, you know what I'm going to do?
Fuck Darfur.
I'm going to go fuck Bill's.
yard because he had the audacity to mow his grass
while his old age.
Bill was going to learn today.
Yeah, exactly.
So no, it was...
You just remind me of a joke I do want to bring back
where I talk about God actually being like that.
Mine was the sports thing.
It was like, you know, God hates Cleveland.
And I was like, well, if that's what the Brown's problem really is?
You know, that was like the bit...
What if God really is petty and shitty, man?
I can't remember who it was.
George Carlin. He had the bit about football where he goes, there's prayer. There's prayer before football.
Can you imagine the audacity? You're sitting there. Dear God, please don't let any of us get hurt during this game today.
And God's like, all right, what are you doing? We're going to be running as fast as we can into each other.
And we are all genetically modified to be the biggest killing machines on earth.
Okay. That's sure. I'll help you not get hurt doing that.
No, I was, there was, it was a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills.
He was pretty good for a couple years, but I can't remember at all, his name now.
There was also, who was a comedian with a famous bit that all, that was like,
I want to see an athlete blame God when they lose.
Who is that?
That was a famous bill.
I think that's, that guy that I was talking about, Steve, that's Steve Rezzie.
Not really?
I think that's his bit.
Well, either way, this wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills really actually did that.
He had a game when in touchdown catch
just like go right through his hand
and they lost.
And he literally like blamed God after the game for it.
I don't understand why Jesus did this today.
I don't know. I mean, right.
I mean, it goes both directions.
That's what I'm saying.
That's why I want to bring that bit back.
It's like imagine God just being petty.
Yeah.
Just like he like the bit was he had a girlfriend in the 60s.
I remember this.
Jim Brown, he loved, you know, Jim Brown was his favorite player.
Somebody in Cleveland broke his heart.
And he was like, well, fuck it.
Cleveland sucks for me on.
You know what? Fuck the entire city of Cleveland.
They'll never win another goddamn game.
And he finally got over there.
Honestly, that checks out more than any other thing about God that I've heard in a long time.
That he genuinely hates Cleveland.
Speaking of this.
And he's just up there like, yeah, I could fucking cure kids with cancer, but fuck those little bastards.
Speaking of Steve Rezzi.
Rezzi, I think.
And that particular bit about.
God. You remember the scene on the league when
he was about to win the game and the
field goal hit the post and he realizes
he loses to Nick Crawl, Ruxon?
And all of a sudden he just goes out and he has his
freak out. He gets in the yard
and he kicks over the nativity scene. He's freaking
out and his daughter comes out and she's just like
Daddy, Kegel the elf is watching you.
And he just looks at it and he goes,
let me tell you something. There is no
Kegel the elf. There is no fucking Easter bunny.
There is no God. There's fucking nothing.
And he just loses his goddamn mind
about God in sports.
Well, I'm sure that was hilarious, but I can't get over the fact that he lied about being in 9-11.
Well, I can't either.
This just happened to come full circle if you said he had a bit about that.
I've told the story on here before, right, that's relevant to that for my life about getting caught in a lie.
You know, Jonathan?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
I know.
I know.
But it's still like relevant.
But have I told it on here?
He planned it.
That's like premeditated murder versus the gun actually went on.
I know, but it's still, like, in the same vein, and also it's just funny.
But if I've told, if I, if I, I've told it on here.
I don't think I've ever heard this.
I worked at O'Charlie's.
Yes, go ahead.
This is so great.
Any of your restaurant stories is just about you just bumbling around not hitting a little bit?
I love it.
But I, but, like, that is true, but I did hit, though, because that's how restaurants are.
Yeah, Chimstrap Play.
Hey, Chistratplay.
That's what I'm sorry.
When I worked at O'Chalys, I eventually got the point where I worked at the point where I
worked in the bar, which is like, you know, the best place to be. And I had these regulars
that came in and sat at the same table in the bar every single Saturday. And I had them
every single Saturday for like two years. They gave me football tickets and shit. I mean,
like, I loved them and they loved me. And for that entire two-year period, they 100% thought
that my name was Jonathan. Yeah, I do remember this. And I don't even know how that happened.
There was another guy that worked there at the same time as me, whose name was Jonathan.
We looked nothing like at all, but there was another service.
So he had a sensible facial hair?
Well, he was profoundly gay, so yes, he was very good looking.
You heard of him.
If you heard about you talked.
But anyway, I don't know.
I don't know how that happened.
I did not, I did not introduce myself as Jonathan.
Like, oh, I'm going to fuck with these people today or nothing like that.
It wasn't anything like that.
But they somehow got in there, my name was Jonathan, and I just never corrected him and just let them believe that the whole time.
And again, like I said, I think that's nice.
Giving me football tickets, all this shit, like, we have a relationship.
And when I was leaving to go to Crawl Daddy's, the last Saturday I was working there, they came in.
Was that like going to the show?
And I told them to go to.
It was so much better, yeah.
I mean, it was all because I, you know, burned too many horror bridges in those parties.
But anyway.
That really is how people leave a particular restaurant.
They don't get fired.
They just fucked every way.
Just like, well, best I better go to Appleby.
Yeah, it culminated in this meltdown at a fucking Christmas party.
Anyway, no, that matters.
I was leaving it was last Saturday, and they came in.
My man is skipping the best story to tell some bullshit about how somebody didn't know his fucking name.
Do what happened at a fucking Christmas party?
Have you told this story before?
No, I've never even heard it.
I, okay, well, I'll do,
it's like, it's pretty sure,
whatever. I will tell it in a minute.
There's not much to it, but it was.
Trace said, happy holidays to somebody from Salina.
Last Saturday I was working there,
before going to Crawl Days. I had them, and I tell them
my guy, just want you know, I'm leaving.
They're like, oh, God, we're going to miss you. That's a bummer, you know.
Jonathan, you're going to be taking over.
Jonathan, you're leaving, we're going to miss you.
And then I just, whatever,
had a, you know.
By the way.
Yeah, I was, I was like, and listen,
I also feel.
like I should tell you guys because I'm leaving everything.
My name is Trey.
And they're like, what?
Just utter confusion.
What are you talking?
I was like, I don't go by Jonathan.
I never have went by Jonathan.
My name is Trey.
You guys thought somehow thought it was Jonathan and I just kind of went with it because
you're so nice this whole time.
I don't know.
And they were just like, I mean, genuinely appalled.
Like, you know, because.
They were just like...
You...
You...
They walk in.
They want to sit in your section.
No, they...
How do they let people move?
Every single Saturday, I have the same section...
Hey, where's that boy with too many teeth?
No, no, no.
Every single Saturday I had the same section in the bar,
and they sat at the same table every Saturday.
They just had a table.
And if it, like, wasn't open when they came in,
they would wait until the people left and they'd sit in...
But they would sit at the same table over Saturday,
so that's how.
But even when they came in and it had somebody in it,
And then hostas was like, would you like me to get you another table?
They were like, no, no, no, we're going to wait on Jonathan's section.
There were, there were people there.
Like, my buddy Seth, who was in my, one of my best friends was in my wedding.
He definitely knew.
People there that worked with knew that it was going on.
You know, he'd like run some rolls out to him because I was busy or whatever.
And he'd be like, hey, well, you tell Jonathan, and be like, yeah, I'll let Jonathan know for you.
No, like, you know, just over what else.
Yeah.
No, the Christmas party thing was just I had just been, you know, fucking around with.
multiple girls that I worked with at the same time and none of them knew about it.
And we had a Christmas party coming up and literally every friend that I had,
every friend that I had was like, so clearly you're not going.
But I was like, you know, chintstrap era was like, fuck yeah, I'm going.
Yeah, what's we talked about?
I got this shit.
Free booth!
Yeah, I was like, why would I not go?
It would be fine.
I got this shit.
I could juggle all that.
It won't be a problem.
I was very wrong.
it was immediately a problem.
Sounds like the premise of a real bad Seth Rogen movie.
Yeah, dude, it was, it got pretty ugly.
Oh, wait, it is.
Which one?
Christmas party.
T.J. Miller?
Oh, that's good.
That's, uh, that's, you're thinking of two different Christmas movies.
Oh, okay.
The night before is a Seth Rogen Christmas movie.
T.J. Miller's Christmas movie is Office Christmas party.
Yes.
And I believe that part of the premise is two-time.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I can't remember.
Anyway, I mean, that's really how there's two.
For the record, none of them were like my girlfriend or anything.
I wasn't saying.
According to you.
Right.
That's not how they said.
Yeah, that's that whole what she thinks.
Well, I think that's a good place to pause for right now.
We will be right.
We will be back well-read listeners after we do this show here in Oklahoma City.
If you want to see us on tour, well-redcom.
Whel-R-D comedy.com.
Just go just like the podcast.
It's cute.
Thank you, Will Redder, for listening so far, and we're sorry for the break, but now that we are back, we are joined by our good buddies and comedians, Willie B, and Adam Murray, who help us finish out this episode with a conversation in the green room in Oklahoma City at the Tower Theater, where we discuss how we met and how long we've been doing comedy together and yada, yada, yada, anyways, enjoy the rest of this episode and catch the guys at the
the Looney Bin and Little Rock, Arkansas, this week.
Skew.
Well, we're back here on the well-read podcast.
Sorry for the break here.
Great show, Oklahoma City.
Yeah, it was awesome.
Tower Theater in Oklahoma City.
It was a good time.
And now we are joined with or joined by our buddies Adam Mary and Willie B.
Sir William B.
Sir William B.
What's up, everybody?
Hey, what's up?
Willie B., what's going on?
Yeah, man.
Adam and Willie both are...
I was hoping I wouldn't say your name,
so at home they could guess who was Willie Bean and who was...
We got it.
We got it.
We all got it.
We got it.
Adam and Willie both are guys that we've all...
We've all collectively, the five of us,
known each other for a long time.
We've known each other for years.
First off, no one ever thought this voice went to someone named Willie.
Let's be...
Yeah, exactly.
No one ever was like, oh, man, that's totally Willie.
Willie Johnson, but not like Willie B.
And Adam actually,
just worked out that
the very first show
of this tour ever
which was like spontaneous
in Knoxville. It just happened the day of
it was like posting on Facebook. Hey, we're doing
a free show tonight at
Scroppy City Hall. Everybody come down.
Adam just happened to be in town.
He did the first show.
Yeah, so if you were at that show, you remember the
homeless gentleman that
that's Adam.
I was on my way back from my tour in the Midwest.
About every year I did a tour of the Midwest.
And I just, I have family in Knoxville, so I stopped there.
And then I think, I think it was Corey, you had posted that you're going to do a show.
Yeah.
Had like 270 likes.
I'm like, what am I missing?
Like, why the, why is cool?
Why is Corey ever?
Yeah.
This is crazy.
And then I went there and it was like flooded with people.
Now I tell you something.
If my post only got 270 likes, now I killed itself.
Dude, it was amazing
And I was like, what the fuck is happening?
And Trey was like, it's that viral video.
I'm like, I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
And I have the internet.
Well, I was on the road.
Yeah, I was busy.
Like every day doing shows everywhere from like Michigan to like the Minnesota, Chicago.
And then you told me about the bathroom thing.
And you said, your manager told you if you got a video that had 2 million likes,
would change your life.
and that one had what?
20 million?
Yeah, he got like 30 million views or something.
It was insane.
Yeah.
It was crazy.
You were like, this is fucking insane.
Yeah, we all just knew each other from just the Southern comedy circuit or whatever.
I mean, I was, I hosted, Adam featured, and I think, before I had my, because it was Philippe.
It was Philippe, it was far out.
I got to fall out.
He got stuck.
There was a blizzard.
There was a blizzard.
and he got stuck and couldn't get to Chattanooga.
It was that crazy blizzard where people in Atlanta were just leaving their cars on the highway.
And I drove through it.
I drove through it.
He was flying from Los Angeles, he was changing planes in Charlotte.
And no one would, but he couldn't rent a car.
He couldn't get a bus.
Like he couldn't.
Because he's Mexican.
Yeah, pretty much.
And being for the white guy, they're like, all right.
That's fun.
Chaper Jones was literally picking people.
up on his four-wheeler on the side of 75
and taken to the road. When I pulled
when I pulled off the highway
because my windshield was like
freezing over, when I pulled off
the highway, there were people on four-wheelers
at the gas station and they didn't have
a snow scraper to buy.
Like we're not used to this shit. We have no idea
what the fuck is going on. I had to buy a
dust can and fucking
I spun off, I spun out on
the highway following a truck.
So I figured there was a truck with no
trailer. I figured he would know how to drive
of this shit. I'm from Florida. I don't know
how to fucking drive through a blizzard.
Yeah. You need a motherfucker's face.
Yeah. Right. Yeah. Bath salts.
I got it. Uh, I was
driving along and my car just spun out
and hit the bridge. We were doing like 15
or 20. And I was like,
I'm getting off the next thing and scraping this
fucking windshield off. And then I met you guys.
I'm glad you didn't know. Willie,
um, Willie B, who is also here.
I've known Willie
not as long as I've been in a stand, but like, you're one of the
like, you're one of the first people.
that's still in my life from when I started.
Willie was there throughout
all that. All of that, yeah.
Open mic. Yeah, we met it open mic. Yeah, no, we did
too. Yeah, we met it open mic too
back in the day. You were still hosting
at the comedy catch when I met him.
Right, because I started before you and then you came up.
I was getting booed on stage.
Yeah. That's what I'm doing.
Yeah. Yeah, I started a little bit
before you and then, but I mean, I was still doing the open-laces.
It was you and DJ. I believe. Yeah.
Yeah. So. I want to say I met you
before DJ, DJ, but you might be right.
Yeah, I did a contest and that's why I made DJ.
He won't, I think he won and made it to the next round.
Yeah, I met Big Ed, you know.
He beat me and I helped him write all those goddamn jokes.
Yeah, he was a judge.
Yeah.
Big Ed was a judge?
Yeah.
Janet was a judge the first time I did a cop.
Okay.
Okay.
And then Corey came in and I wouldn't talk to nobody because he thought he was.
Yeah, he was the deeper.
Yeah.
I'm not saying that that's right, but I was.
I shouldn't have acted like that, but I absolutely.
but I absolutely was better than everybody.
As a human, Corey, we didn't meet a committee.
Right, right.
Right.
Right.
You're right.
Yeah, um.
Okay, I was doing open mic at the time.
Corey was hosting.
I was trying to figure out how to host,
and I end up being like one of the select few to do a guest spot before hosting.
And then you started doing other things like featuring and whatnot, going other places.
So I started being the house office at the time.
Yeah.
I always love when I would bring you up and then you would do like a guest spot for like seven minutes
and I loved getting to come back up there because your closer at the time was you would say you go
all right I'm going to close with an impression it's an impression of my dad
and then you would just put the microphone in the stand and walk off the stage
and it would take people a minute and then they start and I'm already up on stage by the time they're getting
And I'm like, Willie B, everybody.
Wasn't that sad?
I'm sure to do that tonight, man.
I forgot about that joke.
Yeah.
Are you serious?
That just was fucking great.
And you can only, you can't not close with it.
You have to commit.
I'm going to bring it back out.
I'm glad you mentioned it.
It's a great closer, man.
It took people just a second, but they're like, oh, wow.
And he's not coming back, which is also good.
We're Willie B also at a abortion joke.
It was like the pro-life slogan, and I do a joke about this, but the pro-life slogan is it's not a choice, it's a child.
Right.
My mama had a little bit of a different approach to it.
To her, it was, it's not a choice, it's a check.
It was a bumper sticker joke I had.
Yeah, yeah.
It was a white person and a black person.
The white person had, it's not a child, it's a choice.
Yeah, right.
And the black person had, it's not a child, it's a check.
I think he's forgotten about that, Joe.
Let me write this now.
We're just doing Willie's activities.
We all right.
I need to do a podcast every day with y'all.
I think he's forgotten half of his set right now.
That's so fucking wrong.
I want to ask because they just, I think Corey sent it to me one day.
They were like, look at this rap video.
Oh, yeah.
I die.
Holy shit, I'm so glad you just did that.
And so, Killer Rock comes on, he starts rapping.
I see you, and I'm like, Willie was hanging out and he knows somebody on set.
That's what I think.
I think you're in the video.
Me too.
And then you start dropping verses.
Yeah.
How long have you rapped?
I started when I was, like, in middle school.
So you had that going before comedy.
I made you when you were doing comedy, but you had been doing rap.
Right.
I was like...
What should be in tell about your rap name?
Young Bean.
Young Bain's second, look him up.
Young Bame and Killer Mike, I'm proud of myself.
Right, right.
It's a video, right.
And, you know, I remember it immediately because I watch it once every two months.
So I met you, you were already housed in a scene and all that stuff.
And then you started featured.
So I just knew you as a comedian.
Right.
So when I said in the video, I was like, okay, he knows people, you know.
I've been on TV a few times.
He knows a few people.
Then you start rapping.
I was like, what?
What is happening?
I actually had stopped doing music so I could do comedy because it was a hard, it was a hard,
it was kind of hard trying to do both.
I'm like, can you drop a verse?
Is that bad to ask?
Can you do it?
I don't know.
Is that like, tell you.
But if you can, please, man.
I don't know if that's bad ass.
Let's see what's going on.
Okay.
Y'all being in the house of the night,
we in Oklahoma City and we're doing right.
We did a show and, well, I ain't do it,
but Corey and Tray did.
And then Drew did.
in that
I don't know
but it
that was a nice try
I'm a little rusty
I'm a little rusty
I'm a little rusty
Yeah
yeah
I'm a little rusty man
That was
That was awesome
At the beginning
And it's
Why don't you drop a bar
You fucking hot bitch
I can't rap
For shit
People from Florida
Just drop zanny bars
Yeah exactly
We do
We do
We do
What are you guys
been doing this weekend. Why are y'all in Oklahoma? We were at the
Looney bin in Tulsa. So last night when you guys
had a show in Tulsa, we were also doing a show at the Looney bin, which is
why we couldn't go there. There's no show on Sunday, so we can't see you.
And then next week, we have shows in Little Rock. Yeah. Tomorrow I'm driving
Little Rock, and then I've got to fly to Atlanta because I've got to
film something. And then I got to fly back to Little Rock
on Wednesday to do shows.
This comes out Wednesday, so plug your show,
yeah, plug your show where you're going to be.
Oh, shit, fuck yeah, we're at the Little Rock
Looney Bend, so if anyone's there.
We got a ton of fans in Little Rock.
Y'all go see my man on my mind.
Who you win?
Wednesday.
We don't know.
We were with a guy named Alvin.
It's probably me.
I probably got to fall out with that.
I honestly have no idea.
We looked it up and were like, none of us
had heard of the guy, but we were super happy.
We really wished it was the same guy
because we were getting along with them so well.
You know how that could be.
Oh, yeah.
No, yeah.
Sometimes you get a headline.
Yeah, Alvin.
Alvin Williams was our headliner this week.
He was fucking awesome.
So cool.
Like.
Shout out to Brad Williams.
I don't know if it's a last name thing,
but I've never got to go on with the headliner better than Brad Williams.
Dude,
Brad Williams is a cool dude, man.
Yeah, he is.
I mean, such a cool guy.
I've never made him enough.
Is it just a random coincidence that you guys are like...
Doing both shows?
Yeah.
For multiple weeks in a run.
You didn't know.
We had no idea until we showed up.
Actually, we were at the house.
We had all showed up a day early.
I was coming from Chicago.
And I came in a day early because I was doing a spot at the Laugh Factory.
And he was coming from Atlanta.
And I don't remember where Alvin was coming from.
But we all came in a day early.
And it was fucking like 9 a.m. on Wednesday.
And the guy who runs the club came in screaming.
And we're like, what the fuck is going on?
We both came out of our room and like our boxers.
Like, what the hell is happening?
He's like, I just wanted to say hi.
Want to wake you guys up?
We'll see you at the club.
Jesus Christ.
Wait, let me tell you what happened the day I got here.
Oh, yeah, he got.
Before you did it, what day are you on in the Rock?
The 23rd, wait, is it 23rd?
It's Wednesday.
Whatever the day is, it's 23rd.
Okay.
I get there with Patrick Melton, so that'll be...
Sounds about right.
The 27th through 30th.
Yep.
Patrick Melton, Willie Bay, and Adam Murray, Little Rock.
Well, I got to Tulsa a day early also,
but I didn't have...
I got about three in the morning, I guess.
And I didn't have directions to the house.
I didn't know where it was, or the condo or not.
And I didn't know the code,
and nobody sent it to me.
I didn't know where it was.
And so I ended up...
think I see where this is going.
Yeah, yeah.
He didn't look at the schedule and see he was there and hit either of us up either.
I had to go.
I went to sleep at a...
You didn't know he was...
I went to sleep in the car until like nine that...
In a parking lot.
He was in like a parking lot.
I went to sleep at 3 o'clock, woke up at 5, and stayed up until about 9 or somebody hit me back
and told me the mores and he...
That's where Willie B is smarter than you.
Willie B knows that he in Tulsa, Oklahoma, can't knock on a door at three.
clock in the morning.
I was going to say,
I don't care what people.
It's getting better out there.
Black man slept in his car
in a parking lot in Los Angeles,
Oklahoma, and he was fine.
For sure.
Yeah, there wasn't a middle-aged
white woman called on the cops.
No tornado, none of that.
He really said these tornadoes are racist.
There's that the same of tornadoes racist.
You heard the fucking names.
Irene.
They never been a hurricane.
An irine I ran.
Hurricane Irene.
The first hurricane in the Bronx ever.
But I want to say, man.
This is my first time actually watching all three y'all together.
And I felt like, I mean, I seen Corey, I seen Troy, I seen Drew.
And I never heard none of this material ever.
So y'all have been working on.
I could tell.
Thank you for the endorsement.
Yeah, man.
I got to say, too, after having been on the first.
By the way, I can't tell you how glad I am that this is how this is going right now.
You're going to be struggling
A little bit
I gotta say
Man
Like after I haven't been
On the first show
I don't think
I mean
I'll be it
I was backstage
So I wasn't watching
Everything
But I don't
I didn't recognize
Any material
You guys did
I mean
You were talking about
Being married
You weren't even married
At the time
Like
Yeah I just
I mean
I just got back
From my honeymoon
And the
The
The joke where you were
comparing
Hipsers to rednecks
Was fucking great
Drew
Like
All of all of you guys
That's new to us
By the way
He's just
He told me. He said, it's like his newest joke.
And I thought that was
absolutely fucking brilliant. I don't want to
give away into the punch lines. That's as much
as I want to say about it.
No, they listen to this.
And if they do
listen, they haven't listened this far
in. They're in the bar.
Let's fucking move on.
But seriously, you guys
fucking great, man. I was super fucking
impressed. Thank you, man. You clearly
work really fucking hard at it.
Well, speaking to giving up, I'm going
bed.
I'm going to hand on a better note than that, dude.
No, that's true.
Yeah, jerk us off.
Right on the time.
Well, no, we're glad that you guys are here
because we talked about this.
Like, we don't ever get to hang out with other
comedians.
It's just us for time, you know, love them,
glad.
What are they about to say you giving up on comedy?
You don't know what?
You're just starting to make it.
No, no.
This specific episode of this podcast, I have quit on, guys.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't top what he just did for me, so I'm out.
That's every time you get jerked off, you want a sandwiching to go to bed.
So, it makes sense.
Well, thank you.
