Episode Date: August 9, 2018

Hey y'all! Sorry for the delay... been out working on some hittin stuff for you guys. This week we talk about the Darren Knight Fiasco, Alex Jones, and The NFL. wellREDcomedy.com for tickets smokeyboysgrilling.com vastewines.com

And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion. Because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

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

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

that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture,

including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different

language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app,

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

What was that 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.

It is also brought to you by new spot. What? I just asked him. You did? I didn't know you was doing that. We did a whole thing. Admittedly, I shouldn't, I mean, I'm glad that you're doing. What do you say?

I'm waiting on him to respond. Oh, this is fucking great. This is fucking fantastic. Should we pause it? No, fuck that. Just keep going. This has already been like the most botched episode ever, so it may as well just be full fucking... You know what?

Just go with it, baby. I'm going to go with it. We'll get it right. It's brought to you by our new sponsor. Vast wine. Spelled V-A-S-T-E-W-I-N-E. That's Vased wine. That's Vased wine.

It's Vast wine or Vast-Wine. It's a fucking app and you should download it. Vasty wine. Vaste wine. Voste wine. Voste wine. Vastewan. Whatever the fuck it is. V-A-S-T-E-W-I-N-E. It is an app and you can get it on your phone. I know that we have a large demographic of liberal white women. So, God damn it. Drink the shit out of wine. Here's what the app does. Basically what you do, you scan a bottle of wine and between $8 and $35 yada yada yada. The science, there's a goddamn algorithm. We got algorithms and... alcohol now. It combines the taste scores with the suggested retail to give you one easy read to score and know that you are getting the right wine for the right price. It also pairs it up with cheeses and all sorts of food. It's vased. Oh, it's based wine? Because it's a blend of value and taste. Oh, oh. Vased wine. Well, I should have known that shit. So it gives you a score based upon average taste ratings and then the purchase price. It lets you know basically if you're

paying of the right price for that bottle of wine. Yeah, and then tells you what type of cheese to eat whilst getting drunk on that wine. Which, you know, is any cheese. I mean, I'd say, but apparently, apparently this app is set to prove me wrong. So you can download the app and read the blog. That shit y'all drank, I swear to God. If it doesn't say like a fucking cheese whiz can, then it's bullshit. Right the box.

Yeah. Somebody used to have a joke where it was like a, I went to a wine store and I put a bottle up I said, hey man, you got a good suggestion on a... He's like, I don't know, what are you going to be pairing it with? He's like, I don't have a fucking joint. Like, what? So, anyways, you can download Vaste Wine app and read the blog at www. www.com.

That is V-A-S-T-E-W-I-N-E.com. And it's free for a little while longer. So hurry up, God damn it, and get this wine app and then drink and know what you're drinking and how much you should be paying all the cheese that you should be. be eating with it. And I'm assuming meats too. Idiots. Yeah. I don't know. You're telling you. It's very angry.

You know what? It'd make you feel better about how I'm talking to you? A big ass glass of fucking wine. Find out the price at vasedwine.com. And now, uh, here's the podcast. Uh, oh, I don't want to put that in, too. Let's say, well, well, well, wail. Ski-joo! Nailed it. Thank you, Trey. All right, here we are on Barbank, everybody.

Trey, what's up? Dog, Drew. Not much. Here we are. I still want someone to put a compilation of you saying, Here we are. Here we are. I mean, I know you boy who's been practicing

some podcast compilations of late. Who's my boy? Me. Oh. Have you done forgot about it? Are you talking about? The Drew don't hit? Yeah, well, I could do it with him.

Here we are. Plural, did you do it again this week? No, I did it last. You didn't hear the remix? No. You didn't hear the Drew Don't Hear Remix? That was a banger. Wait, that means you did that yesterday.

No, there's two weeks ago. You must have just missed the first Drew Don't Hit. There was just a regular Drew on Hit. No, he definitely didn't miss the first Drew Don't hit because he commented on it, and that's where remix came from. Oh, you've remixed it in? Yeah. You're so sad.

It was fucking funny. So I'm working on some new stuff, man. I just try to, you know, break the monotony from time to time. I feel like a lot of people... You sit around with your free time and just make up songs by how I don't hit. I didn't make them up. I made up beats. You ain't ever made beats for us.

You ain't ever cooked for us. He didn't cook for us. He don't cook. I don't hit. This... All right. Nothing. Nothing.

I'm just brewing something in the kitchen. I was brewing something in the kitchen. It's fine. Speaking of not hitting... Daring night. Yeah. Exactly. That's exactly the segue I was looking for.

I was going to say, like, I feel like... I mean, I just want to talk about it, but I also felt like... I almost said I feel like we should talk about something, and I was like, I mean, I bet a lot of our fans are going to be like, what the fuck do you just do, Corey? I think this was plant juice. I don't know.

Lori just picked up what appears to be a cup of... water. I just got stuff in it. That's dirt, Corey. Oh, well, it was right by the plant, and I thought the clean lady used that was like plant food or something, I thought I'd just at that.

Okay, anyway, Lord God. Where was I at? Anyways, you had Darren Nats the dumbest Southerner. Oh, I'm sure a lot of people... Definitely not me over here. I ain't dirt.

Yeah. I actually ate dirt! Oh, no. That's so funny. Oh yeah, listen with this dumb ass dead Oh God, I just take dirt Well, it's like I want to address it because We've not talked

It's comedy and blah blah, blah It's like, you know, Southern comedy It's an internet guy It's very relevant to us And I also don't want to talk about it Because Man, fuck him And, you know, I don't even want to send people to his page

Yeah Because in order to know what we're telling about Our fans who don't know who he is It's going to have to go look him up I mean, we have to now I know If we didn't talk about it now, it would be fucking shitty. Well, that's what I'm saying.

I was torn on. I was going to say, I bet a lot of our fans have no idea what we talked about. Oh, yeah, you guys need to talk about that? I never even heard of this. I've never heard anything about any of this. It's not like it was some major story. Like, only in the stand-up comedy world specifically was it like a thing. And briefly, like two weeks ago.

Right. But I've also bet a whole lot of our fans just already know who he is, because I'm sure a lot of their, you know, Facebook friends be sharing his videos and stuff like that. And maybe they do. Because he's not overtly political on his videos. So anyway,

for those of y'all don't know what we're talking about and just want us to fucking explain it. There's a guy who had videos go viral on Facebook right around the same time that I did and his were a character he does called Southern Mama. And the first one

I remember saying and Katie showed it to me was Southern Mamas at the Ballfields. It's this young guy, 20s or whatever, doing a character of a voice of a stereotypical Southern Mama. And so that first one is like her, you know, yelling at the kids at the ball field and the lady at the concession stand and all that type of. And yelling at the umpire, that type of thing. And you can look it up, but it's jump cuts. Yeah. Like he'll say all these, you know, little phrases that a Southern Mama would say and then cut to him saying another one, back to back to back.

So the humor builds. And some of them were pretty funny. One of my life was, how much do nachos cost? Lord, I got a pack of hot dogs at the house. I'll just cook you all that. That first one, that first one. Yeah, I would never say the videos aren't funny. That first one Katie showed me, I was like, yeah, that's pretty solid.

That's a good character, and he does it well. He does do it well. He stole it. We should note that. Yeah, I mean, I've heard you say and talk about that. I don't know. Of course his first one I told me. I thought you told me.

Well, I've seen it, though. I have looked it up. Hold on. Let me. I'll just type it in there. Don't remember the failure to name. There ain't no way that's a parallel thought thing. He might just be doing his mama, man.

You know what I mean? I mean? It's just shit southern mom say. Like, it's in the vein. Right. Right. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

Like, I don't think it necessarily has a... Well, none of this shit is even remotely what has ever bothered me. No. True. Like, if that was, if that was all it was, hell if... I mean, even if all it was was that and yes, he still sold tickets, what the fuck ever. Like, that's still not... Like, I'm never going to have them fans.

You know, that people still want to come to see me for actual stand-up comedy, but, you know, when I kept hearing he was a goddamn dickhead. So, all right. And disrespected my craft. A little bit ahead of ourselves.

But, yeah, so he blew up around the same time I did. And so, like, you know, he wasn't, my understanding, he wasn't a stand-up comedian or whatever at that time. His guy did a character on the internet that blew up. And then he got found by, you know, some people that were like, yeah, you know you can, you could sell tickets, right?

You can sell tickets and do live performances of some. mother mama, you could do shows and you can make money doing that. And so now, basically, now he's a stand-up comedian. And he goes from not ever doing stand-up comedy to headlining a sold-out stand-up tour. I mean, literally overnight. That same thing happened to us, except that we had been doing stand-up comedy for years. Right.

You know, to fucking eight people at a time. Silence, boo. Thank you. It's a Pat and Oswald quote. An actual stand-up comedian. Yeah. And so he starts doing it, and he brings other, like, comics from the South, most of which we at least know a little bit, one of which is an actual good buddy of ours.

We've talked about on here. His name is Rocky Dale Davis. Worst roommate I've ever had. He toured with him. I live with him for two weeks. Worst roommate we had was a cat at the time. I'm kidding, Rocky was a fine roommate. And Rocky toured with him for a while, and so, like, we've just been tangentially aware of this guy,

and his act and shows and all that type of thing for a long time. And really, I don't know what you used. I just, I really didn't give a fuck. I didn't. That's what I'm saying. If he was a sweetheart, like I knew he was a nice guy and he just was selling tickets. That's fine. When I found that he was a dick, I was like, whatever.

I don't give a fuck this. Tebow's not a stand-up comic. I don't give a fuck. But some of the things that like we, you know, heard with, yeah, like Corey's alluded to, apparently, you know, and got the best attitude in the world. and also his crowds, the people that come to his shows, by and large, are... They're not sending their best. No, they're stereotypical redneck, you know, loud fucking...

Well, they're all Trump supporters. They're all... And I don't mean like, because they're rednecks, I mean, he has specifically cultivated that crowd. At his shows, the people who came there who weren't into that, I think quickly realized it wasn't their thing, He would start chants. He would talk about, you know, my president, the greatest president. And, I mean, which, you know, far be it from us to talk shit about somebody doing political humor.

But the thing is, according to, you know, people we know who were there, who were working with him, that's all he was doing. He would do a few of the Southern Mama things. He'd be like, what about when your Southern Mama goes to? And then he would do that for, you know, five minutes. Then he would do some jokes. Those other comics wrote him or that were old, like, jokes from the 19-19. 30s. Literally.

Old Volville judges. And then he would take questions from the crowd, and then he would just start talking about how much Trump hits or whatever. And even that, I'm like, I don't like that, but I don't care about it. Rocky also told us that while he was touring with him, he would get some followers on Rocky's Facebook page from people that had come to their night show and seeing Rocky there. And so they start following him.

And then Rocky would post something that's just about, you know, about gay people. and it's not hateful. That they suck. It's not that they suck. It just involves somebody being gay or whatever, or just that type of thing. And then in the comment section would be just this brigade of all of, right, of those Darren Natt's fans who found Rocky that way just going on and be like, what the fuck, man, what kind of bullshit is this? And Rockies was like, it was really bothering it. I mean, it's fucking sucks, man.

having a fucking getting fans is awesome and then realizing they're not the ones you want and like that's like such a alliance people always go well you want people on both sides

and dude yeah that used to be very fucking true for me to like you know moderate people like I don't want to just panered at one side we can all laugh at everything

but like right meow no I don't fucking want them motherfuckers so we knew all that and yeah I mean I'm with you Drew I didn't whatever

I didn't particularly give a fuck about anything it never involved us. I don't want to talk about us as business. Rocky seemed,

we'll say not happy and I just wanted him to be able to quit the tour financially or whatever and he was able

to do that eventually. So then I was like, all right, well whatever. And as an aside, another thing that is relevant

to this whole discussion, at least to me, I think we talked about this in some form or fashion on here before, but there's also there's a whole thing

lately in the stand-up world of people like that, but other examples of it, what I mean are people that had like some kind of video or something go viral on the internet and then somebody tells them, you know, you could sell tickets and now they're doing stand-up and they've never done stand-up before. And I don't give a fuck who you are.

When you first start doing stand-up, even if you're like a fucking major talent, there's going to be some growing pains. It's not going to be great. There's made some misses. And having to do a headliner link set at that time, I mean, Lord God, I don't blame any of them for sucking because, of course they do. But the problem is, because they could sell tickets, they book a shitload of shows and they sell a shitload of tickets. And it starts thinking their hot shit. And in the comedy world, you know, there's a lot of stand-up comedians, not everybody, but a lot of guys think all that is very much bullshit. Because it's taking away dates and shows and sets and stuff from actual comedians who've been doing comedy for a lot of time.

Their whole goddamn life is how they make a living. This is the only way they can. So that's also a thing at work. like we know that we have gotten not like wrapped up in that but there have been a lot of comedians and stuff who've lumped us into that same category because like they don't know no better and at first that was fair yeah right and but it always bothered us even though it was like yeah they don't know any better it still was upsetting because like I said we had been doing comedy for years before this shit so we weren't that and it was always just kind of annoying to me but I didn't hold on that shit against Darren night no no

but like so that's also part of it anyway fast forward to a couple weeks ago um and the Montreal just for last festival was going on that's uh I think far and away the biggest comedy festival on earth and has certainly the most important has been without a doubt has been for a very long time it's been a it's like at one time it was second only to like the tonight show as a goddamn career maker right you know what I'm saying yeah yeah and And that was going on. And part of what happens at JFL every year is a variety comics to watch showcase. So variety, the magazine, before the festival every year, they put out their comics to watch list.

And it's 10 comedians. And then at Just for Last, those 10 comedians perform sequentially as part of a stand-up showcase on Saturday night of the festival. This year, Darren Knight was one of the 10 comics to watch for a variety. And because of the reasons we already listed off earlier, a lot of people in the comedy world were like, God damn it. What the fuck is that about it? Yeah, let him sell his tickets, but don't let him take this shit.

But whatever. Industry would be doing bullshit all the time. So it wasn't that big of a deal, but it was what it was. Well, then fast forward to the actual festival, the night of the variety showcase, they put Darren Knight up last. And the other nine comics on it are all legit comedians comedians who been at for a while and are, you know,

killers and they are up there talking about real shit, you know, like a lot of comics too. They're talking about race and gender or being gay or just whatever. All that type of stuff. But with jokes, by the way. With jokes and they're murdering. They're right.

They're doing great. Show's going great. And then Darren gets up there and the closes out. He opens up with that. You mentioned earlier, he does fucking literal Vodville joke sometimes. He opened up with one of those apparently. Groucho Marx joke.

Yeah. To our. here's to our wives and girlfriends may they never meet. And he opened with that. Then he launched into a bunch of diarrhea material apparently that was not. And as we

have said privately, I will not in any way disparage diarrhea material because that's one thing they go, he goes up there does this fucking diarrhea joke and I'm like, no, he did a bad diarrhea joke because I've heard some real good diet. Tom Cigura has a great diarrhea joke. Louis had a great diarrhea joke. I don't have one yet, but I can't believe

it. I'll have one and it'll be great. but he did a bad diarrhea joke. Right, and it wasn't going over at all. He was bombing, right, by all accounts. And so then towards the, you know, latter part of his set, I guess he gets fed up and he just abandons all that and just starts sort of ranting. Oh, right before, and somewhere in the middle, he said,

I want to thank the, like, grasped for it and then said, Laugh Fest. I want to think Laugh Fest for having me. You got the name of the biggest comedy festival on Earth for decades. Every comedian owned the God. damn planet has that festivals that we know the font they use for the goddamn poster.

The mascot, the little mascot. Yeah, every single thing about it. He came to get the goddamn name right. This is so... Go ahead, sorry. And the crowds at that festival are, again, by all accounts, they're fucking proud of it, you know, and again, rightfully so.

So he was doing his diarrhea shit that wasn't working. He got the name of the festival wrong. It was just bombing his ass off. So then at the end, he just starts ranting at the crowd about the other comedians. He's like, you know, all these other comedians and I were up here talking about race and gender and sexual orientation and I just you know that's not what comedy's supposed to be guys that's not what comedy's about comedy's about

people having a good time and just laughing you don't need to talk about all that stuff and at this point the crowd now starts actually booing him and he gets literally booed he gets literally booed off stage at JFL which a hardly ever ever happens I don't know if it's ever happened I had to I can't ever have I feel like I'd have heard about it I heard multiple people say that had literally never happened. It's never happened. He got booed off stage. He comes off stage.

The host of the thing, and this was all like on Twitter and shit that night. There's videos showing all this. He comes off stage and the host of it, Chris Red from S&L. I think he said some bullshit to Chris like on his way. And then Chris just starts lighten into him. And he says he just lets his ass have it culminating with, how the fuck you're going to stand up there and bomb for 10 minutes and tell the rest of us what comedy is?

is. And at that point, Darren Knight just, he's just like, he flipped his hair back, he flipped his hair back and stormed off.

Yeah. And that was, and that was that. So, uh, a few things about that. Uh, first of all,

we heard about it immediately. I don't even think he was motherfucking off stage yet. He wasn't. We, we heard about it very, our phones were just, be,

but ding ding ding ding ding. It was awesome. Better or worse. Like, again, there's like parallels. And we knew a shit ton of comics that were there. Yeah, and

somebody had sent us something about, like one of our, I think it was our age and her manager one. Somebody said something about him committing career suicide at JFL tonight.

And we immediately were like, no, he fucking didn't. None of his fans were at JFL, even know what JFL is. Like he'll, he committed JFL suicide's all he did. Right, yeah, like industry,

but he wasn't fucking with the industry anymore. His fans think that JFL is like an ultimate. Turned to football. Right. If that guy was going to have a show, if he was going to have anything to do with the industry, it had done probably happened for that motherfucker with that. I mean, goddamn followers he has and shit. Right.

It, that ain't it. But the thing that he does sell the fuck out of tickets to super conservative audiences is not going to be at all affected by any of that. No. That's, you know, whatever. I regret this. Why? We can talk about something else.

Well, no, I mean, we're in it now, but like, I just realize we're, we're, helping him because and I know I said earlier I don't want to like send people to his page because that helps us but beyond that we're making him relevant. This dude is now one of the three or four most talked about comedians coming under the JFL this year. Maybe he's the most talked about. Dude,

there's no doubt he's the most talked about comic out of JFL amongst human beings. Not like the industry is now focusing on hey which one of these people can we actually put a pilot together with but like this is absolutely the biggest story out of JFL. but okay which I guess means we got to talk about it though because it was the biggest story whether we talked about it or not

when I said earlier he is Trump I don't know if we're supposed to talk about him he keeps getting bigger but if we don't talk about him then we're ignoring a fucking old

when I said earlier that I almost said there's something I feel like we should talk about that's why I said that because also again because of the like the you know

the connection such that they are like you know what I think it's a big story in a comedy world fuck Southern Mama as a staff a record clear

A label and a motherfucking crew. That's what I say. A record clabor? Yeah, that's probably what he calls his is the clabor. But like. From Claiborne County. I can't, I don't hear if I talk to you. If you want to be down with Southern Mama, fuck you too.

That's how I feel about it. Without a doubt, I don't care if I talk to you about this or not, but I know I talked to Corey about it. Like, when that whole thing was going down, like, yeah, there was like some element of Schaden Freud to it, but really, honestly, the whole thing just pissed me off. Yeah. For a lot of reasons, like, hey, him being there in the first place, but also, he, he, he, He's a fucking, he's a southern white guy with a southern accent up there doing exactly what they expect somebody like that to fucking do.

But Rocky, who we just mentioned was there to. Murder. Dusty Slay was there to, by all accounts, they both crushed. Yeah. And by the way, Rocky don't talk about, for the most part, like any hot topics. Like, he doesn't really go hard into politics and hard into fucking shit like that. And still murder. They're both from Alabama.

Right. They're both white. Rocky told me, though. Dusty even has the same fucking haircut. Dude, but Rocky, exactly. And on that note, Rocky said to me, like, we had lunch. He was out here in LA last week, like right after it happened. And he told me, A, that the next morning he randomly bumped into some agent or producer

or some kind of, you know, some sort of suit at the airport. He was wearing an Alabama shirt. That guy come up to him and started like... Consoling him. Consoling him. It's like, hey, man, I'm sorry. I heard about, you know, heard you had a lot last night and everything. And Rocky was like, what are you talking about, man?

He was like, you're coming from Alabama, right? Yeah, I heard how it went last night. And, of course, Rocky was like, no, fuck that, man. That ain't maybe that's a totally different guy or whatever. But, like, and when he told me that, I was like, that's exactly what the fuck I'm talking about. Yeah, he doesn't set us back again. And then Rocky was also like, he was like,

but you know who even has it worse as far as that shit goes? Dusty Slay. He was like, because he was up there murdering or whatever. But he was like, he's like, he's another southern white dude with the same, you know, haircut and whatever else. And it's like just. Well, that's why I say fuck him. You just give him. Of course, fuck him. It gives us all a bad name.

Don't know. Then add into that, we're Southern white dudes who popped on the internet, you know. I'm chariotic. Guys, go to vasewine.com. That's based wine, like value and taste. Yeah. It's an app. You can download it on your droid or your iPhone. If you have a flip phone, you shouldn't be drinking wine.

Or you can print it out and take it to your supermarket and show them. I have based wine. I have based wine. Tell me how much that cost. and what fucking cheese I should get. All right. They're not don't help. No, we don't.

And what I'm saying is the people that run that festival or whatever, I just feel like they're going to think twice before having a fucking southern white internet. Or they can correct the shit out of it. But the real problem is, they gave Variety Magazine carte blanche to put on whoever the fuck they wanted on their festival. They did no vetting themselves. Variety magazine's whole vetting process is heat. What I heard, the rumor was that the rumor was that it's,

he was with ICM, the agency, and that's basically an ICM curated list. And it's on them too. Of course it's on them. What about your fucking morons to put a guy who don't have the chops on that? Without a doubt, how do you not know better than that? I know.

Another rumor was that they actually talked about because there was another part that we didn't mention that morning he had done a panel and on the panel he had said a lot of that same shit. I said he was ranting about, about comedy, isn't about this and everything. And it didn't go over well, but it's a fucking panel, you know whatever gives a shit and I and there was apparently some talk about you know maybe we shouldn't

put this guy up later but then you know they still did like because they were afraid he was going to do badly or because they were like we don't agree with him so don't put him up because I ain't about that let him go eat shit no yeah absolutely let him go eat shit but just said what no but I'm saying they couldn't tell from that he wasn't good at stand up that's what I'm asking did you mean they weren't going to put him up because they're afraid he was going to bomb or because they were like oh no he's ruffling feathers not that he was I don't think it was that he was ruffling feathers He also talked about having never bombed before. Which is true, by the way.

And that's the point with everybody goes, God damn, this dude really is going to go up there and say he didn't bomb. And I go, and everybody's like, that's such bullshit. No, it's not. Because he's never done an open mind. This was literally, and this is a very important point to make, this was the first fucking set he's ever done that wasn't in front of his crowd that came to just see him. So, yeah, he had never bombed. Can you imagine bombing for the very first time? At JFL.

JFL. JFL. Well, but you're a comedian who cares about that. so you'd probably kill yourself. He's just going to go back to his plantation mansion, which he brought up numerous times having a plantation mansion. Yeah, if I didn't know the name of the festival, I probably wouldn't give a fuck. And also, by the way, if I got in JFL, you don't bomb because if you're there,

you're there for a goddamn reason. You know what I'm saying? Like, God damn, I won't jump off a fucking bridge. He's also, man, he's not just holding us back. He looks so bad in his boot cut jeans. And I just want them to make a comeback, and they're not going to as long as motherfuckers like him keep wearing him. I know. Don't hit.

He's just the opposite of everything that we're about pretty much. He's traced Atkins. In like every facet of our lives. Like professionally, personally, all that. But like a cutout version of that, he's traced Atkins. He don't hit. No, he don't hit. So, yeah, there's that.

There is that. But we did, I mean, not like a whole lot, but we saw at least a couple instances of us getting lumped in with him after that happened. by you know what I mean like this is what happens when you give mean comedian state you know what I would say us I'd mostly say you I'm sure they don't know we exist I'd have to know us first that's what I said to somebody that was like yeah uh no I just would like to be lumped in with any comedian yeah I just like some lumps but in those you got a few of them I do be in those

instances usually there was somebody that was like no no no you know they ain't that or whatever yeah and also Bert talked about it on his podcast and he we hadn't been compared to them yet but he just was talking about the whole internet people getting comedy shows and trying to act like comedians or whatever and while he was talking about that he said he was like you know like some of them like the well

red guys that's not the deal they're actual ingredients and yeah thanks bert that was awesome buddy much appreciate and I've said this to you privately this is where it's going Burke Kreischer

has a huge internet presence now he was a stand-up who got known for being a stand-up first but now like people love watching his Snapchats and his Instagram stories. Bo Burnham was an internet act that was good live. He worked his ass off.

Right. He also was like the very first so there was no like... Litmus test. There was no like template for the other thing yet. You know what I mean? Like there was no negative perception of it. There was no negative perception,

but there was a template because it was reality stars. Reality stars were already pretending to be stand-up comics and were already going into a music game. He was a music guy which is way different too. because they had that built in. He had an act. Because you can do exactly what you did on video a lot. But my point is simply that you will not,

the way you did your career and your launch tray will not be the exception at all. And I predict as little as three or four years. It's just going to be the norm now. It's just going to be the way that it happens. It's not going to be the only way, but it's going to be like a silent half of the fucking time. Yeah, but there will be hitters that just pop with the video.

Well, and there's people who some of our friends probably haven't heard of country, I hear he did stand up for some amount of time. I don't know how long. I don't know how funny he is. I'm not saying it one way or the other. Jess hilarious apparently has worked really hard at having jokes and writing jokes. She's another like, quote-unquote internet act.

That Miranda Sings chick apparently just shows videos and does like not stand-up because she's like, no, she's not going to, you know. My point is it's just going to become eventually a normal way that you get heat, get attention, and you'll have to back it up. Because of the top. of people like him bombing, it'll become to the point where it's like, all right, but they've got to be able to back it up before they get on festivals.

But at the end of the day, that ain't taking that dude's mansion away. Right. No. And I really, really wish somebody would. I mean, eventually, the government will. Oh, yeah, that's true. That's true. And then I don't think, I mean, honestly,

I think in a lot of ways you'll be like Bo Burnham and some other people. You'll be kind of a pioneer at that point of like, oh, you could do it that way. but until then we just take those lumps well again not me really you just do the lump I take is who and that feels good yeah yeah we don't hit we don't hit we don't hit when's that uh track dropping it's about I'm just cooking in the kitchen up here we don't wait oh there's dude son that's a valid yeah that's yeah I'm about say that's a meatloaf length yeah because I've got plenty of that's just a meat that's just a meat love yeah I've got plenty of

of that shit, man. Poor self-hatred into all my meat loaves. That's our bail wolf. I understand that loaves is the plural of loaf, but I feel like it should be meatloaf. Meat leaf. Meat, I don't hit. Oh, my God, in heaven.

What about Alex Jones, boys? They kicked him on three. The Darren Knight of Twitter. They kicked him off three platforms all on the same day. I wish it was a little platform. Was it a specific? I've been, like, aware of that, but, like, was it a specific thing that he said or did? Because it all happened at once.

What could it be? What could it be? No, I hope that's why I'm getting that. What is the straw? Right. But, like, that's sort of frustrating on my end. Because it proves the point. Yeah, because, like, they literally conspired against it.

Like, three companies got together and we're like, we got to do this. He knows about our gay frogs. We got to do something. What's his name? Apple's CEO? Tim Kelly? Tim Cook. He's just got a bunch of gay frogs,

and that's what he's pissed up. He's home to me. Make her fucking frogs. No, I mean, yeah. I mean, yeah, of course that's exactly where that's going to go immediately and all his family. How do you feel about that in general?

I mean, so let's break it down. All, first of all, let's talk about free speech. The government is the only people who can't infringe upon your free speech. A private company has no, you know, they don't have to promote you. They can do whatever they want. Okay, you said promote.

My understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, they took him down, like, off their, like, list in certain genres and that type of stuff. But, like, he's still on there. If you're subscribed to his thing on Apple, you still get them every week. I mean, that's what I read. I don't know for sure. Because, like I said, I've sort of only been, like, kind of following this. Uh-huh.

But I'm saying, I thought that they just, like, took him off the list and stuff and that type of shit. He's on a lot of lists. That you can, but that you can still. gives the shit from their service. Like if you want to. I don't know. If that's the case, then fuck everybody who's upset in a lot of ways. I'm kind of pretty sure.

But let's say that they just took your mouth. Like, just for the sake of this conversation. So that's a private company. Like, that's not an infringement upon freedom of speech at all. But, you know, what about the NFL? Right. Yeah. You know, but now the difference there is the NFL is trying to compel players to do a thing.

Well, it's also like James Gunn versus Roseanne, you know, with a conversation. there a couple weeks ago. And again, there's differences there, too. He said it 10 years ago, like, before he ever had that job and all that shit, jokingly. Yeah, and she said it with the show on the air out of the blue. But, I mean, still, you know, it's... Not funny.

No, it's difficult because, yeah, like, I had a conversation with somebody about when I was back in Salina, right? And it's, which was right after the Roseanne shit happened. And they were saying, they were, you know, mad about it. It's bullshit. You know, the show was good. Show was doing well, and people liked it. I loved the show. It was great.

And, you know, just because she said this thing, you know, she's, like, she's proven that she's good enough to have a show on their network. And this shit and negate that. And I was just like, yeah, well, Colin Kaepern is good enough to be a fucking on a roster in the NFL, backup quarterback. But he's not. Right. And, you know. You don't care about that? You don't care about that.

And they're like, well, you don't care about it? Exactly. And that's true. And cakes. And gay people are gay. cakes. But I mean, no, it's true. So, gay.

Cakes are gay. I'm waiting me a gay old cake. Y'all got peat's cake. Peacht's the gayest. Y'all don't make a peach cake. That's the gayest cake there is. Peach cake. There's confetti's pretty gay.

Confetti's pretty gay. Confetti piece. You're my peach. I'm stuck a mess. I want some, I want some butter cream. Oh, now that's going to help. Oh, yeah. He was just staring at you.

I was like, God, damn. I thought you all hooked for a while. I thought you just were like, nah, this ain't, this ain't it. I was being like an angry old bullfrog lady. I don't even know what I was in. You were a gay frog and getting a fuck by Tim Cook. Blum.

Put me a fucking butt fuck, Tim and a new iPhone. Colin Capito. Well, all right. No, but no, that's true. I don't, like, I've, yeah. I mean, I'm fucking guilty of that. I do, again, there are differences.

I genuinely believe, but like, the overall, like, like argument. Yeah, I get it. Like, fucking, when it comes to Kaepernick, it's bullshit. When it comes to Roseanne, you know, fuck her. She deserves it.

Here's another thing about it. I mean, I'm guilty of that. And I'm not sure. I'd have to think this through. I'm going to think this out loud. This will be awesome. If Alex Jones is on there saying Sandy Hook didn't happen.

Uh-huh. And that gets spread around. And then the victims, the parents of Sandy Hook children, sue YouTube You know, can you not make an argument That's a liability? That they're protecting their liability.

Yeah. And don't get it twisted. He's an employee of YouTube. He works for himself. But like, every time you log on Facebook And you get something and it goes viral And your videos get shared, you work for Facebook.

You're giving them free content So that they're, without content, Facebook cannot exist. It doesn't exist. Neither does YouTube. We all work for these fucking. people. So on some level, it's like, oh,

they just really just fired an employee. Now, I don't know if that lawsuit would hold water, but I still can see the argument of a company being like, look, he's a fucking liability. Roseanne's a liability. Advertis. Guns a liability. Colin Kaepernick's a liability.

Because of advertisers and shit like that, you can make that argument if you want to. For sure. Right, yeah. Yeah, I mean, well, that's what I'm saying. I'm, I'll bitch about Colin Kaepernick, but like if I'm just being objective or whatever, Whatever, yeah, I mean, it is the same thing.

Like, look, dude, I mean, I told you the other day, like, from a head coach's perspective, I get it. I totally get not wanting to have the fucking media circus that would come with that. Just for a backup. For a backup. We're not talking about Brady. No, we're not talking about Brady. If he was Brady, he'd be playing.

Even with all the neighbors. In terms of comparing, that's one. Well, I mean, dude, Aaron Rogers, if he weren't great, there's no way that. Aaron Rogers just came out and backed up. I know. And he's just talking about he's an atheist and all that. And nobody will say a goddamn. because he hits like a motherfucker.

By the way, when he gets old and he keeps saying that stuff, they'll get rid of him. But he's why it'll take a little longer. Right. Russell Wilson can say that shit right now, too. He's still going to play for the Seahawks. Yeah, but Russell Wilkins ain't going to say nothing except whatever God told him to. 1-0-0-0-0-1.

What is, what is like the faith equivalent of robot talk? Say what we say when we say it. Bill Burbank. All right, I'll say it. Okay, I'll say it. Okay, but there's a difference, though, and this is a moral difference, and it's moral judgment, and I'm not sure that our laws should have anything to do with that. But I just, I innately understand the difference in one guy is protesting police brutality.

Fuck that. Let's spin it as a Republican. One guy hates the flag and hates the troops. And the other guy literally is shitting on Sandy Hook survivors. And siding riots. Yeah, and that's true, too. He's like talked about how we should kill Hillary. One guy is saying is discrediting 18-year-olds who watched their classmates get slain. Six-year-olds. Oh, yeah, we're talking about Sandy Hook. Yeah, I was sorry.

That was so many fucking shootings ago. God damn, boy. God damn, Corey. What's wrong with you? You can't keep up with all 700 and 34 of them? Remember we met some Sandy Hook parents that came to our show and connected? You remember that? And, like, I can't fucking imagine.

Don't even want to. No. Like, what I would feel. I couldn't not blog on the internet. I couldn't do that. That made that kind of accusation if I had a fucking kid get killed at school or whatever. Like, I don't like, it's just anybody that's with that particular conspiracy theory at all can completely go fuck themselves. Well, that's why I, here's where I stand on this argument.

You don't bet. Like, these companies, like, it is a fact that they're allowed to do it. Like, that's just, that's just fact. Like, they're allowed to do what they do. did. The NFL is allowed to do what they're doing to Colin Kaepernick. Apple is not denying it. The NFL

is denying that they're blackballing Colin Kaepernet. Like at the very least fucking own it. I think that they can get away with denying it because they can say if the Cleveland Browns want to sign him, then that's their prerogative.

That's true. But they just know that nobody's going to. But Cleveland says oh, he's not good enough and that's a fucking lie. Like Adam is not saying Alex Jones isn't worth money to us. He's definitely worth money to them. Okay. My only point is that these companies can

do whatever they want. When I hear people who are like pointing out like oh so the NFL blah blah blah with the anthem I'm like no the NFL can do that and we're allowed to call bullshit on it and when we do we don't say this goes against free speech and government rights. We say this is just fucking

morally repugnant and wrong. We're punishing a man for standing up for his fucking people. Do whatever you want. That's what you're doing. But it's bullshit. We're not saying it should be illegal. We're saying fuck that and quit lying about it.

And he should sue him because they're lying and they're discriminating against him. Blah, blah, blah. And I hope Alex Jones fucking sues YouTube. Because when he does, part of that fucking case is going to be the veracity of his statements and whether or not he's speaking the truth or not, just like in his divorce when he had to admit that he was a fucking performance artist instead of an actual goddamn journalist. All I'm saying is, is yes, it's totally the same thing. The difference is, I'm okay with one and not the other, and I will fucking double down on that.

Yeah, the only, like, again, one don't hurt nobody. On the individual base, individual team basis, like I said, Colin Kaepernick is without a doubt good enough to be in the league. But I don't think he's good enough as a player to even out all the shit that will no doubt about it come with Simon. That's completely irrelevant to what I'm talking about that. I don't see that it did. Not if your job is to put together a fucking team and play a season and try to win a Super Bowl. Without distractions.

You don't want, it was the same type of shit with like, Johnny Manzell. The distraction is, what about Tim Tebow distractions? What about Johnny Manzell distractions who got cut because he sucked, not because of the distractions? What about-Tibbo? People hitting their fucking. Both of those guys. I know, but Tim Tebow was on teams.

I mean, he went to the playoffs. He got cut because he sucked, not because he was a distraction. He wasn't good enough. What about the dudes who hit people and get accused of hitting women all the goddamn time? I mean, I've said that they would not do that. Several times. A good way to make a stand. I'm just saying.

I don't think they should be in the league. Like, Ezekiel Litt at the end of that shit. I'm not saying that they should or should not be in the league. I'm saying that I don't buy the distraction argument. Colin Kaepernick is better than some starters. If he was back, see, I don't, I purely talking about football right now, just the game. He couldn't have started for the Cleveland Browns last year. Last year, yeah.

But as a fan of a team or if I'm a GM or whatever, I wouldn't want to pick him up as my franchise quarterback. This is our guy going forward. From a football perspective, I'm not talking anything about the kneeling. I don't think that he's a franchise. I think he's a backup. And I'm saying I get not wanting to have the media circus. He might be his backup now.

I don't know if he was a backup when he first got kicked out of the league. I really don't know that. He had a great year and then a bad year. Like I think you get one more shot. Because we said he was Tom Brady. I mean, I definitely agree with that. We said if he was Tom Brady, he'd still be playing. Dude, I sincerely think if he was Derek Carr, he'd still be playing.

Like, I don't think it has to be that level of great. Well, hell. He ain't the only motherfucker that nails. Colin Kaepernick started. People be doing it now in that, you know what I'm saying? That's true. Colin Kaepernick started falling off as a player before that shit happened. Well, the reason I say, though, that this is irrelevant is my only point is,

I don't need to have this free speech. you're a hypocrite argument. I'm not saying the NFL doesn't have a right to do any of the things they're doing or that the Cleveland Browns don't have a right. I'm saying that I call bullshit on that one and I don't call bullshit on the Alex Jones and whether or not it is bullshit or not isn't the point.

The point is, I'm not a fucking hypocrite at all in that. Alex Jones is garbage and he's doing garbage things and what's going on with Colin Kaepernick is not the same thing. Also, the NFL is fucking shitty as hell for the way they've handled the whole thing. also just throwing Kaepernick out of the equation like their whole they came out with that policy about you know if you're on the field you got a kneel or whatever and they back they backpedaled on that

some but still that's absolutely shitty regardless because of the just the sheer fact that 90% of the guys that make them all those billions of dollars are black guys who care about this shit and it's just disrespectful to the to you to your fucking uh your employees yeah to your work it's just like it's Yeah, if they all quit. If all the black people, if half of them did, what are you going to do? Exactly. Not shit. And dude.

But they can and they know that. Irrespective of the race thing, you can't actually divorce it from that. But I'm saying just hanging above all that is this is like creepy military fascism type shit. This company is forcing people to stand for the anthem of a country because we quote unquote support the troops. What if you don't want to fucking support? the troops? What if you don't support the... I'm not saying you should. Like, even that, I feel tense. I'm like, what if our fans hear me say that? I don't give a fuck. What if you

just don't support the goddamn troops? What if you think the goddamn troops? But then you go to work and you have to do it? And the military, and this is what it's really about. The military pays them. I was just about to bring millions of dollars. They fly them motherfuckers over. To do all the shows. And those shows

look like some North Korea shit, man. Yeah, the Army, the military in general spends a shitload of money on advertising through the NFL. like for recruitment purposes, and that's absolutely the biggest reason that they give so much of a shit about all that, like without a fucking doubt.

I mean, it's all about money. But the NFL is very much like cultish. All about, they're just cultish and a lot of their bullshit, you know, like respecting the shield. Like, the NFL's definitely got its head up its own ass

to an extreme degree. Well, it's playing to its fan base. Right. Yeah. And credit to NASCAR. I'll be watching this season, by the way. Yeah, me too. I don't get me wrong.

I'm sitting here talking all this shit. I'm going to watch. I don't think I am. Raiders and Titans. The only reason, I mean, I will when the playoffs come around, I won't be able to resist it. I have turned down every fantasy football offer, including a league that I've been in for nine years now. And fantasy makes me keep up with NFL more than anything. But, yeah.

Because I keep up with every team, not only my favorite team. The NFL truly exploded when fantasy became a thing. I got tied Gurley in a keeper league, so my fucking hands are tied. I mean, I was obviously making a joke. I don't think, I don't think I'm done. Do you play? One of my leagues is with like all the guys I grew up with, like my boys from back home from forever ago.

And like I just don't want to not be in that. You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm supporting the players. I'm watching as a supporting motherfucker player. Like it's a common right. And that's also a valid argument too. You know,

these guys that are protesting or whatever, like, you know, they can hit for you or whatever. Sure. And you can still think the NFL as an organization fucking sucks. But ultimately you're lining the pockets of them, the billionaires.

Steal the cable. I don't even want to come across. This is a self-righteous. I'm not going to do that, and I'm taking a stand. It's just more like, if I don't do fantasy, I'm not going to be that into it to the playoffs anyway. So it's easy for me. You know, and I'll admit that. I like college football way better.

And just fuck them. It's not, I'm not out here like, oh, this is the right thing. I know it is, and everybody should join me. I'm just, yeah, fuck them. Well, to me, it's like. If it was like a fucking show runner that I didn't like, I'd just like, yeah, and not watch that show. Because there's a shit ton of other shows on TV. There's one football on TV.

You know what I'm saying? Well, these two footballs. Yeah, but the NCAA's fucked up too. We've done gone into that shit. I mean, NCAA also sucks. I'm saying, dude, like, now he thinks it sucks. We've, we've, we've, did a whole podcast that. I know.

He was pro NCAA the whole time. That, no. No, we were pro. What was the argument there? That was us arguing about players getting paid, right? And I was. That's the whole deal. No.

There ain't another deal. There was a deal. Money's the only thing. What else is NCAA evil about? It's just money. It all comes down to money, but there's, a lot of other bullshit that they do in terms of like disciplinary actions or lack thereof. Oh, that's funny?

I know that, but it's not related to paying the players. Those things all have to do with money, money rules at all. But there are reasons besides paying the players that the NCAA sucks and is corrupt and bullshit. Yeah, but the way I tie him together is like, if you're paying a dude to play football and then your drug policy is no weed and he gets high because he's a 20-year-old and then you fire him, I'm like, well, that sucks, and I don't agree with it, but he had a job. But if he's putting his fucking body on the line, he's not getting paid, all he gets his scholarship, and then that happens, like, I don't know, I just think they're connected.

Yeah, my whole thing with that is, and has always been, like, I just don't know how you do it. I don't know. This was, my whole argument was just letting them make their own money. That's the Olympic model, and I'm fine with that and always have been. Oh, good for you. Well, dude. I mean, that's one of those things where it's like, just say like I think it should be this way but like how can it possibly be that way?

We did this over the last of the, so that they make a lot of money. Give it to the players. You have to give it to paltry, even if it's a little bit, even if they just become a true nonprofit where instead of putting money in coffers back into universities that don't go to the fucking players, just give them the money. You know what you're doing instead of giving them money? Go to vasewine.com. That's faced wine. V-A-S-T-E-W-I-N-E. Value and Taste. All in one. They mixed to the words.

Yep. That's called synergy. That's what we're trying to do. I think synergy is an example. Whatever. Of that, right. Yeah, I think that's energy. That's what, man.

And synthesis. Synthesis? Syntax. Symbolism? I don't know. Synergy. Synthetics. And energy?

I don't think it is. No. Go to base. That'd be oil. What vase wine is. It's a, the words put together. It's a, what is that? Vased.

The word, it's a portmanteau. A portmanteau? Portmanteau. That's what I got. I got porkmantoe. I get drunk and stumping on the chair. I got portmanteau. All right, go to basewine.com and price your wine, pair it with cheese, get drunk, and Southern Mama don't hit.

All right, I'm looking, hold on, I'm looking up synergy. I think it might just be a word that's not a mix of two words. Really? Synergy is when things. We know what it means. We're trying to figure out. We thought it was like I don't. Oh, no.

I think it's just a word. Right, like it's just, the origin is similar to energies. Yeah. Yeah. Dictionary.com, intro word, for example, pie. That's what I get when I get wrong. I get synergy. Pie?

Like sinners, G. Yeah, like energy from sin, synergy. I was like a sinner's guy. Yeah, wouldn't it. Yeah, it would have. Like a karate gay that belong to a devil worship group. Well, you know who's got one. Stephen Seagal.

Yep. And Rick. Go to vase one. All right All right Thank you all for listening To the well red show We love to stick around longer
