And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because used to you, you like had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now, skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people, people across the skewniverse, 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 probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app,

lovely little app where you could, you know, put your 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.

with my family in my new house that you guys bought me. Thank you very much. And I haven't been able to spend a lot of time in it this year because I've been so busy. So I've really been enjoying it. But for this episode, because we weren't together, what I decided to do was to do

the chose year-end review. So this entire episode is me reviewing the year what I liked, what I didn't like, and then we will finish with a sweet song from our buddy Wheeler Walker Jr. I would also like to state that all opinions and jokes in this podcast are completely... That's on me.

So if I said some shit that sucked, don't blame the other guys for it because I'm just kind of cutting, cutting myself open and letting myself bleeding the bowl here emotionally at the end of the year. There's some shit I said that maybe I won't even agree with next year, but it's how I feel

about this year, and I hope you like it and I hope you share it with your friends. Anyways, I love you, and I hope you guys have a fantastic 2019. Here is Cho's year-end review. Ski-you. Well, well.

2018 was a crazy year. It started off with our president bragging on Twitter that his nuclear button is much bigger and more powerful than Kim Jong-un's and it ended with Elizabeth Warren, a brilliant woman who he so cleverly calls Pocahontas announcing her candidacy for the 2020 presidential nomination. Along the way, the Philadelphia Eagles ended a 57-year title drought, a fish-fucking movie won an Oscar, Bill Cosby went to jail even though he never cussed and always wore pants that fit, and a self-driving car caused a fatality marking the beginning of Skynet as we know it.

Harvey Weinstein was charged with rape. Kevin Spacey was charged with felony sexual assault. Louis C.K. admitted to pulling his weenie out in front of women and sensing that he no longer fit in on this planet, Bert Reynolds apparated into a force ghost. The Hawaii EMA sent a false alarm about a ballistic missile attack, Trump lamented shithole countries, Putin killed some of his critics much to the chagrin of literally no one in the GOP, and the Dow Jones had its biggest drop since the 2008 financial crisis, causing several rich assholes to wish that the ballistic missile attack had indeed been real. Teachers in West Virginia went on strike, Trump accepted an invite to meet with Kim Jong-un,

Martin Luther King's assassination turned 50, and several major companies cut ties with the NRA, and all of the sudden, conservatives didn't see protesting as something just for entitled black people and pissed off lesbians who know how to crochet. Exhausted after a lengthy career spent finding new ways to call poor people lazy, Paul Ryan announced he would not be running for re-election. The state of California became the world's fifth largest economy, while the state of Iowa approved the heartbeat bill, banning most abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected,

which, luckily for struggling young mothers in Iowa, takes a very long time in negative 20-fucking degree weather. President Trump announced his intention to withdraw from the Iran nuclear agreement, and because that didn't make him feel stupid enough, he then canceled the carbon monitoring system. Speaking of canceled, Roseanne got fired for being exactly who she was when she got hired. In horse racing, pre-race favorite Justify became the first horse since 1882 to win the Kentucky Derby while unraced as a two-year-old. Also in Kentucky, Kim Davis continued to look like a

horse while behaving like it was 1882 and hating mixed-race two years. year olds. California was forced to evacuate residents in fear of a storm described as an atmospheric river, which does not sound like something in a Star Wars movie and definitely doesn't have anything to do with climate change. In regards to Cambridge Analytica, the British government sent a formal request to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to answer questions about the data breaches catastrophic failure of process, yet no one thought to ask him why a 34-year-old billionaire still cuts his own

fucking hair. Martin Scarelli is sentenced to seven years in federal prison for defrauding investors, investors who all agree that defrauding them was definitely worse than letting all those AIDS patients die. In 2018, reports came in that the opioid epidemic may be worse than we thought due to omissions on death certificates. For example, on the form where it would normally say overdosed, the coroner instead wrote, he hated his laborious minimum wage job so much that he prayed himself to death while listening to Molly Hatchet.

As a result, opioid addiction awareness advocates urge Congress to spend more money on the epidemic. An anonymous congressman was heard saying, We gave you toothless dumb fucks heroin tick-tacks, and now you also want us to help you not die? When does it end with these people? Smallville actress Alison Mack is charged with sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and forced labor conspiracy, leaving out, of course, the conspiracy that this is apparently the only steady work you can get after being on the show, Smallville. Michael Cohen received $400,000 to fix talks between the Ukrainian president and Donald Trump. Most of the money was spent finding an interpreter that wouldn't eat it. laugh the entire time or try to end their own life with a plastic bag.

President Trump made history this year by meeting with the Supreme Leader of North Korea Kim Jong-un. This historic event proves that if you want a white nationalist, capitalistic racist to be nice to a communist Asian dictator who hates America, just tell him that by doing so, he will totally own all the liberal queers. Michael Cohen is convicted, Paul Manafort, is convicted, Michael Flynn is convicted, Rick Gates is convicted, Papadopoulos is convicted, Robert De Niro gets sent a suspicious package, Jerry Falware Jr. also maybe has touched a suspicious package. Ted Cruz got reelected even though he looks like someone left hot milk sitting out in a jello mold. Brett Kavanaugh doesn't tell his diary about all his rapes. Stupid dads everywhere

sincerely thought liberals were upset that he drank beer and they yelled that at their TV in front of their who was already too scared to talk to him about sexual assault. Our best attempt at a real-life Tony Stark smokes pot on podcast with Joe Rogan and talks about bear fights probably. It's a fucking wild time to be alive. 2018 has been insane. The Democrats took 40 seats in the House and seven more in the gubernatorial election, and Michigan became the 10th state to legalize recreational marijuana.

Jeff Sessions, of course, tendered his resignation the next day. day because he couldn't stand to work for a country where people could legally be that happy next to all those lakes Michael Cohen, the ex-Trump lawyer who once said he'd take a bullet for the president, has just been given a 36-month jail term. I guess by a bullet he meant a big dick up his stupid butt, am I right? And because our government literally can't do anything right, as its final act of 2000s, it decided to shut down. Shut down, just like I'm about to do with all the jokes so that we can talk about something serious

that happened in 2018. And then we will get back to the funny stuff on the podcast, but I feel this needs to be said. In Italy, Texas, a 16-year-old opened fire in a school cafeteria. At Marshall County High School in Benton, Kentucky, a 15-year-old shot 16 classmates resulting in two deaths with seven others injured trying to flee the scene. At Lincoln High School in Philadelphia, during a school basketball game,

a 32-year-old man was shot and killed in a parking lot. At Salvador Castro Middle School in L.A., two 15-year-old students were shot in their classroom, with three others escaping with minor injuries thought to be caused by something other than gunfire. At Oxen Hill High School in Maryland, a student was shot in the parking lot. At Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, a 19-year-old with a semi-automatic rifle killed 17 people. At Huffman High School in Birmingham, Alabama, a 17-year-old was shot and killed. During all of this, by the way, Trump and the GOP posited that the students would be safer if teachers had guns. Uh-huh.

On February 13, 2018, at Seaside High School, In Seaside, California, three students were injured when their teacher, who was also a reserve police officer, accidentally popped off his goddamn gun during the middle of a fucking gun safety lesson. Two students were shot in Great Mills, Maryland, resulting in one's death two days later. In Raytown, Missouri, a man was shot in the stomach at a track meet. At Forest Hill High School, in Ocala, a student was shot. In Palmdale, California, a student was shot. At Santa Fe High School, 10 were killed and 13 wounded.

A student opened fire at Noblesville Middle School. At a football game, at Palm Beach Central, two men were shot, and a woman was trampled. At William Raines High School in Jacksonville, Florida, three people were shot outside of the football stadium with a 19-year-old pronounced dead on the scene. At Cole Middle School, one was injured. At Canyon Springs High, an 18-year-old was shot and killed in front of hundreds of his classmates. In Butler High School, a student was shot and killed.

At Simonsdale Elementary, a parent got shot in the leg when another parent's gun accidentally discharged in their pocket shortly before dismissal time. and in Pittsburgh, a 17-year-old was shot on a school bus headed home. The only suspect that was female was 12 years old and was the only case in which the shooting was deemed unintentional. None of the suspects were illegal immigrants. None of the suspects were radicalized by fucking Antifa.

The only wall that could have prevented this is the one we place between our citizens and proper mental health care. But look, 2018 wasn't all that bad. I mean, we had some good times, didn't we? Like, oh, come on, I know there was something. Just let me think for a second. Oh, yeah, Deadpool 2. Deadpool 2. It was so good. And you never know with sequels. It could truly go either way. Of course, with superhero movies, oftentimes, the second one is better because, you know, you don't have to worry about fiddling around with the origin story. You can just jump straight into the action. You don't have to lay any groundwork or trying to make sure the audience can keep up with all the

zany characters you're introducing for the first time. Hell, it's a, it's probably like that with a president's second term. Don't you, don't you think, oh God, oh God, please, please don't even make me think of that. No, God, God, God damn you, Trump is not, Trump is not charming, sexy or funny. He is, he is quite literally the complete opposite of Deadpool. He is, he is a live diarrhea jacuzzi. I don't necessarily think that's the opposite of Deadpool, but still, Trump is not Deadpool. He can't get a goddamn sequel. Please, for the love of the fake fucking Lord that I don't believe in,

we have got to support whoever wins the nomination in 2020. I don't give a shit if it's Mitt Romney with his fucking dick tucked. Deadpool was super good, though, seriously, and also not for nothing, but the Super Bowl was rad, man. There were fucking eagles and there were patriots and it was American as shit, man. Except for the fact that, well, you know, if someone decided to actually be a real patriot and protested during the national anthem, then they would be fined because the president quite literally threatened a business organization involved in free market capitalism, which I thought was what he jerked off to at night,

that he would use federal tax laws to penalize them. if they didn't do what he said. He took it back later, saying that he was just making a point, but I mean, what point could it possibly have been other than, you know, he wants to be an authoritative dictator in a fascist country? I understand the argument that his employees of the NFL, the players do have to follow certain rules and that their constitutional rights are not being violated

because no one is saying that they will be thrown in jail for protesting or exercise in free speech, but Donald Trump very much is literally using the power of the government to silence people, which is 100% unconstitutional, yet it doesn't have anything to do with guns, so I guess nobody cares. Oh my fucking God, we live in hell. Someone please save me. Sincerely though, y'all, I know it seems like things could not get worse, but trust me, they absolutely can. And they absolutely will. I'm teasing. Well, okay, no, I'm not. I totally believe that. but I also believe that we have to leave that attitude in 2018. Of course things are bad and of course there are those in power who have the capability

to make them worse. But using that as an excuse to lay down and do nothing, well, that's not what's going to get us the White House back. I'd like to think that the midterm elections were spark enough to fan the flame going forward, but I've learned, especially over the past three years that diligence can't take a break and prosperity ain't going to stop to hand you a tissue. We got to keep moving forward and we have to do it in a way that gives us the best possible chance to set this ship in the right direction. Some resolutions that I'm going to make that I hope you will join me on are these and please know that I will absolutely slip up on some of these from time to time. I will make mistakes but I will learn from them and I will try not to make

them again. Matter of fact, that leads me to my first resolution. I will not crucify people for not being perfect. Look, there are some people that are absolutely indefensible and beyond redemption. You're all probably sitting there thinking of several examples right now. That's not who I'm talking about. I'm talking about the canceled culture that us, the liberals, for the most part, are responsible for. We have got to stop throwing candidates, allies, and, hell, friends and families out on their asses just because they fucked up a little bit. Look, Kevin Hart tweeted some super shitty tweets. I think at the time he thought they were funny and not a big deal, but I think that now he feels very differently. And honestly, I don't think it's because he got caught.

In the time since Kevin Hart tweeted those things, his profile in Hollywood has risen. He has met all sorts of new people and had all sorts of new life experiences. Kevin Hart, without even trying, is a different person than he was when he tweeted those tweets. And I, for one, think that we should be allowed to grow. I have no idea some of the things that I said when I was younger in high school. I was into drugs and foods. I was also, you know, real fucking dumb because I was young and my brain sucked. I've been guilty of writing people off for shit they said in the past.

But that makes me extremely hypocritical, and I'm not going to do it this year. Kevin Hart said some homophobic shit years ago. He should not have. He also probably made the right call by dropping out of the Oscars. He also probably deserves to lose a good bit of gay fans, because I could see how it'd be hard to look at him in the same way again. But I believe he is a human who has grown for the better. Mike Pence, however, is a man in his 60s who still firmly believes

that gay people should be a little. electrocuted straight. That's the type of shit we are up against. That is true evil. I said all that to say this. Whoever runs against Trump in 2020 is going to be flawed. The reason for that is because they will be a human person. Yes, we should hold elected officials to a higher standard, but no, that standard can no longer be perfect because it does not exist and it is no way to win an election. Resolution number two. Instead of focusing on the bad in those I oppose, I will cling to the good in those I support. Look, this is already extremely hypocritical, considering I opened this podcast with pretty much nothing but jokes, bashing everyone I hate, and what I hate about them.

But, hey, that's part of my job. I can at least attempt to turn it on and turn it off. I will at least try really hard. But I do think this is important going forward on a national scale, at least where the Democratic Party is concerned. Look, we were so sure that Trump wouldn't make it to the primary that we made fun of him and people who supported him. We were so sure that he wouldn't win the primary that we made fun of him and the people who supported him. We were so certain that he wouldn't win the presidential election that we made fun of him and those. who supported him. We spent so much time doing this that not only did we look like obnoxious and

cocky dickbags causing a lot of people who were sick of being called white trash deplorables just because of how they look to jump ship, but it also got in the way of us building a candidate that could actually win. Look, I voted for Hillary. I would do it again. She is the most qualified person I have ever voted for and she deserved the victory. But the reason she didn't get it is that we're so convinced that Donald Trump was going to lose the election that we forgot to win it. We can't just sit here over the next year and a half or so and continue to pick apart his every asinine and dumb fuck move.

We know he sucks. We know he is a racist. We know he is a bully. What we should also know by now, is that the supporters he has left also know that and they do not give a fuck. We are not going to win this thing by convincing people that Trump is not a good president. We are going to win this thing by finding a better one, making them as good as they can be, and fucking voting for them. Resolution number three, I'm going to attempt to be nice to those who hate me.

Now, this one is tough. When someone calls me a liberal snowflake, it is so easy to go to my default setting. My default setting, of course, is, Oh, yeah, I'm a liberal snowflake? Well, I'm not the one who gets all bent out of shape about the design on a goddamn cup of Christmas coffee, and I'm also not the one who is terrified

that a plant from the earth will turn all our kids into gay skateboarding sateness. Hell, I wish that was the case. That would make weed fucking rule, harder for me, but it doesn't do that, you fucking pain-pill lobbyist sympathizing son of a bitch. And also, if I was such a scared little queer in need of a safe space, don't you think that I would be all for a border wall?

I'm just saying, if you think I'm a pussy because I try and say the right pronouns, then logically by contrast, you should consider me a badass because I'm not petrified that I'll get butt-fucked by a drug cartel who followed a family of farmers across the border. What now, Doug? Motherfucker. See, unfortunately, that's what they want you to do. People who oppose you want you to get riled up and lose your mind so that you look insane and lose all credibility to the calm and rational folks around you.

Don't do it. Kill them with kindness. When someone calls you a libtard and you know they're going to, tell them that you're going to pray for them. When they keep coming back at you, tell them that you'll pray harder. When they accurately call you out for not believing in God, Tell them that you know they are hurting and you empathize with them. This will drive them absolutely crazy and at the very least get them to block you on Twitter so you can go back to looking at old WrestleMania clips and eating hot dogs in peace. I'm aware that that one is probably specific to me, but you get it.

Kill them with kindness. It may not work on them, but I do think you'll feel better and in these times that's almost all we can hope for. I would also like to point out right now that on this particular podcast, these jokes and resolutions are my own. I would like to think that Trey and Drew agree with me at least on the majority of these things, but I'm not going to put words in their mouth, so any disagreements you have with my logic can be addressed to me and me alone on Twitter. If I'm being honest, it's very possible that I won't agree with these three resolutions by the end of this year. There are lots of things that I used to believe that I no longer do, and vice versa. That's what growing up is, I guess.

Every 10 years, I hope to think that me from 10 years ago was a bit of a fucking idiot. That's growth. That's how you know you're living. Okay. Now, on to something positive. My favorite things of 2018. So, for my favorite things of 2018, I just, off the top of my head, I just, off the top of my head, real quick made a couple of lists.

I didn't really look anything up. These are just coming off the top of my head because that's how you know they're really your favorite shit, right? So these were some events in 2018 that were my favorite things that happened to me that I hope I can somehow replicate in 2019.

Let's see. I got to work on a TV show with my best friends. Holy shit. That is amazing. I got to drink root beer with T-Bone and Callie Cally Corey and T-Borri and T-Bernet. Two of my heroes. I got to drink root beer. on their couch. Jesus Christ, what a life. I got to meet Al Gore. I got to meet my literal

all-time idol, Mel fucking Brooks, and have dinner with him. I got to take my mother to the French laundry, a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience, simply because of another thing I'm very thankful for, you fuckers, you supported the tour, you supported the book, you've supported everything, and I was able to afford to take my mom and knock something off of her bucket list, which was eating at the French Laundry. Another thing that was one of my favorite things in 2018 was the last month of stand-up in December. We got to spend it at two of my favorite comedy clubs, the Washington, D.C. Improv, which

I could not say, I don't know, I couldn't say better things about the staff there. It was absolutely fucking amazing. They treated us like kings. We went out every night. It was fantastic. Also, Zanies in Nashville, Tennessee. It was one of the most magical weekends. of my entire life all our friends came out the shows were absolutely fantastic the

staff treats us like family fucking Al Gore was there Hayes Carl was there Wheeler Walker Jr. was there T-bone and Callie were there who the fuck I know that I'm forgetting people that were there but it was it was just it was unbelievable I got to this year watch both of my nieces L.J. and Sadie grow that was fantastic I also have made new friends. I've made a ton of new friends. It's one of my favorite things about the industry that I'm in. It's not just being able to stand up and being able to work on these cool projects. It's truly the people that you get to meet when you're doing them. You get to meet some of the most interesting people, like-minded people, and truly sweet people

who are just tremendous artists that just, man, it just moves me in a way that I didn't think I could be moved. I'm really thankful for all the friendships that I've had this year. The most important thing, though, that I did this year, the thing that I'm the most thankful for. And my favorite event, I got married to my best friend and I love my life, Amber Roberts, who I can't believe it. But she took my last name. She's now Amber Forster getting to, I haven't seen her a lot because of all these other things I just mentioned. I've been a very busy boy. But luckily, I'm married to someone who is extremely supportive and extremely independent.

And those were the events of 2018 that I like the most. most. Here are the movies in 2018 that I like the most. This is in no particular order, and this is very, very raven because, well, it's in no particular order until the very end. It's very raven. I didn't mean for it to be this way, but apparently all I did was watch fucking comic book movies this year. So, aside from the comic book movies, his favorite movies I saw this year were, Won't You Be My Neighbor? The Fred Rogers documentary. Also, I really enjoyed Chappaquittic. I loved blockers. I thought John Cena was

absolutely fantastic and the dude has very good comedic chops. I loved I Tanya. I love the Ballad of Buster Scruggs. It immediately became man, here's the deal with the Ballad of Buster Scruggs is that Oh Brother War Art thou is my

favorite Cullen Brothers movie and like the Gobowski has always been number two. But like, the more I watch Ballad of Buster Scrugs, it might be about to take over both of them, man. Fucking so good. If you haven't watched it, please go to Netflix. Check out the ballad of Buster Scruggs.

Humble Brag, our buddy T-Bone, as he does with all the Cowan Brothers movies, did the music for that, which is another reason. It's fantastic. Robin Williams, come inside my mind. I absolutely loved that movie. Also enjoyed, that's not a superhero movie. Game Night.

I thought Game Night was the surprise comedy of the year. It's not that I thought it would be bad. The cast is Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdams. I can't off the top of the head I can't remember anybody else right now but like I thought well this will be serviceable it'll be fine it was fucking hilarious it's one of my favorite comedies that I've seen game night is this fantastic here's but here's the real there's the real movies that the show enjoyed this year black panther spider man homecoming infinity war Incredibles to wreck it Ralph to solo ant man in the wasp Deadpool too and the

reason I actually went to see this tonight because I knew I'd be talking to about my favorite movies of 2018, and I had this feeling that this was going to end up being my favorite one, and I was correct. Spider-Man Into the Spider-verse is unlike anything I have ever seen before in my life. I cannot suggest it enough. I don't want to say anything about it because I'm afraid that I'll just get too giddy and I'll give shit away. It's unbelievable.

I was going to say that it's like the citizen cane of superhero movies, but honestly, for me, It might just be Citizen Kane. It's unbelievable. It's the best movie of 2018, and you should fucking go see it. So those are my favorite movies. And here we're going to do my favorite albums. Just off the top of my head.

John Prine, True of Forgiveness, Unbelievable, Casey Musgrave's last album, T.I's last album, American Aquarium, Things Change, Jay Cole, KOD, Mac Miller Swimming. It was hard to beat MacMillers Swimming for me. I actually just got into him like literally as he died. My buddy, DJ Lewis, friend of the podcast, who you'll actually hear from later this week or next week.

He'd been trying to tell me to get on to Mike Miller for a very long time, and I finally did right as he died, and I really fucked up. That guy was tremendous. He was truly on to something different, and I believe that his best work was ahead of him. So if you didn't fuck with Mike Miller before, holler at swimming. It's a great album. However, in my opinion, well, I didn't mention this. Sons of Bill,

their last album, please go check that out. I've never heard a band completely changed sounds, but it not be a bad thing. I love their old sound, and I love this new sound that they're going with. Check out Sons of Bill's new album. But to me, the album of the year, Undisputed, is from Friend of the podcast. You know him, you love him. Wheeler Walker Jr.'s third effort, WW3, Wheeler Walker 3. It is album of the year.

Fantastic. It's whatever you need it to be. It can fire you up. It can put you in a better mood. It'll make you laugh. It'll make you cry. It's country music done the way country music should be done. And with that being said, we're going to close out the first podcast of 2019.

this new year's in review. We're going to close it out with none other than Wheeler Walker Jr. In his song off of his new album, Weiler Walker 3, I sucked another dick last night. So here it is, Wheeler Walker Jr. I sucked another dick last night. Thank you guys. Love you.
