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 you 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 the 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 RocketMoney.

They're the they're the liberal red necks they like cornbread but sex they care way too much but don't give a fun. They're the

They're the favorite rednecks That makes some people upset But they got three big old dicks That you can suck I already am like a backwards hat guy And have been for a while But this specific one I put it on

And I was like, this feels different Like this feels like I almost felt Kevin Jamesy In like a Kangol or something Even though it's a regular hat And yeah I get it, it does feel divorced And the room that you're in, you look like you just got divorced. It does seem like that.

It seems like every time anyone sees me now, I'm in my sister's attic, which I think would be a, that's a pretty good place for a divorced man to go, you know, staying in his brother-in-law's, you know, shed or attic or whatever. But no, me and Amber are great. I would actually say that me and Amber, and this is surprising, ever since I moved my home office from my home to my sister's attic, me and Amber have been doing better than we've ever been doing. Like, we love each other so much. You know what I mean? You got pre-divorced and it prevented a divorce. That's, yeah, right. That's the key to not getting divorced is act

divorce. Like micro-dose divorce, you know, and you won't actually get it. Andy and I haven't slept in the same bed since like month six of her pregnancy. Me and Amber. We're pre-divorced. Well, me and Amber haven't either, but it's not my fault anymore. Well, it is my fault. So, kind of. So before it was, I couldn't sleep.

I have to sleep with the TV on. I have to. And that don't, and I get that I'm in the minority there. Like, most people don't like that. But I have to. And Amber never did. And I was like, well, it's literally the only way I can fall asleep. And then after a while, she was like, you know what?

I think I could get used to it because I'd rather you just be in the bed. And she did get used to it, and it was fine. But then, I don't know how y'all are, I can't, well, this don't really apply to Trey because Trey can always sleep. So maybe this is just for Drew.

Whenever I can't sleep, if I'm in the bed with someone and not able to sleep, I'm way more depressed about it than I am if I'm alone in a bed and can't sleep. So I would always get up and leave. I was like, God dang, if I'm going to be awake,

I'm at least going to, you know, just I can't be near someone who's who's happily sleeping. Then I started snoring so she started leaving. Now I don't snore anymore because I got my allergies halfway fixed out, but she can't sleep for the first time in her life. And she gets depressed and she goes into our other bedroom. So, yeah, we're pre-divorced. Yeah, no, yes, all of that makes sense.

Them all-timey couples in the 50s had it figured out maybe, you know. There's studies on that. The studies on that that. Also, the women wasn't allowed to have opinions and they could do whatever he wanted and all that stuff. They're always going to keep the goddamn house clean and stay under 145 pounds and all that stuff by law. So all that helped.

Yeah, the whole divorce rate, the whole divorce rate, they're called the divorce rate in the 50s versus today. It's like, yeah, that's like the autism rate today versus then. They didn't test for it. You know what I mean? Like you weren't allowed to get a divorce unless the goddamn Archdioces determined that you could or whatever. whatever the fuck.

But me and Amber. And then he went and told the people at the crazy house that you had the vapors and they arrested you. Yeah. Though the man could get whatever he wanted, but the woman couldn't just leave. Me and Amber actually, we stayed in a hotel in Gatlinburg and the only thing they had was two queen beds

instead of a king. And like, we require a California king in order to sleep together. And we both slept on separate beds. And I swear to God, she said, just basically what Tracy said, she said,

I'm telling you what, Lucy and Ricky had it figured out. She's like, this ain't that. And I'm telling you, there's studies. that couples who end up sleeping in different beds are healthier. Yeah.

And then obviously if you're mentally healthy, like you're going to do better in your marriage. Absolutely. Well, I've wallered my side of our bed just smooth out. It's just like a pit on my side. And now it's starting to hurt my old dumb back and like Katie's side hits just fine. And I don't ever like, I guess it's just from being poor or trash or whatever. But it's like I'll just suffer like small miseries like that. for just ever instead of just like addressing it like I could just I definitely could just buy a new

bed but it's like a bed forget a bed like I I went weeks because you know I'd be in the kitchen cooking stuff whatever and I like sauces drew I know you appreciate sauces went weeks complaining to katie about how like we ain't got no goddamn ramikins like we used to have we got enough put sauce we had we used to have and then you fucking did whatever with them and now they're gone and I just did that I say weeks probably months and then finally one day like got the clear blue sky I was like I guess I could just get some. And I got on Amazon and ordered some. Like $7.50 like a whole set of them with lids and everything.

So you could keep them in the fridge afterwards, whatever. And they came the next day and it's been a non-issue ever since. And it's like, but a bed is a, even though you could do the same thing with a bed. Yes. A bed is a bigger. Do you like your bed? I'm just going to hurt every morning for a while. Yeah.

Well, I did. I loved it. But that now you can just order that bed. That's what's simple about a bed. Right. And I did a version of what you're talking about. The bed Andy and I got when we got married is one of my favorite beds. It's right here in this room at my mother-in-laws, where I'm currently recording from.

It has been here since the first time we left, maybe since we got back from Florida. I don't know. We moved at least twice since then, and I didn't take it with me. And I kept being like, man, that bed rolled. I think I got a more expensive one the next time, and it wasn't as good. And then finally I was like, oh, I'll go find the order and order the lower. in order the literal like it just didn't occur to me to do that

and then I did that and guess what now I have two hidden mattresses available with me all the times dude I'm so glad you're bringing this up because I sleep on neither of them by the way I'm in a floor on one that I bought for an RV for $80. It has only just recently occurred to me

that like when I buy something that hits if I bought it from a website especially if I had to put in my name and stuff like I can just go back and see because I too have just been like, oh, I got this thing that hits. I'd like another one. What are the odds? I'll find it again, though.

I mean, what are the odds? Wish I could figure that out. Who could, you know, who could ever do that? Yeah, with my bed, man, it was one of the first things I bought when we started hitting because I didn't, I had no furnishings in, like, my house at all. Like, y'all went to, y'all stayed at my grandma house. I had, like, a tiny little mattress on the floor. The couch had cigarette holes in it.

stuff. So, like, when we first hit, I, like, had to, and I wasn't married, so I never had no housewarming or, you know, shower or whatever. So I just had to fund my whole, like, all right, create a life here. And the bet I got was a California king, which was like five grand. And I paid for that motherfucker in cash. And I do even remember then, even though I was like, I hit and I'm never going to run out of money. I remember thinking five grand, shit, this is the bet I'm dying in. I'll tell you that much right motherfucking now. You know what I'm saying? Like, fuck that. yeah there's like an old papal saying i think i say old papaw but i saw it on reddit and they attributed it to papas so it might be a different like genre of papal like a midwestern papal or something but it's like uh three things you never skim never skimp on anything from the ground yeah so like shoes tires

yeah bed anything like that i feel like it does kind of you know it's a maxim that sort of oh that's a good papalism i don't think i've uh heard that one yeah i exactly agree with it. I also understand and am not stupid enough to know that like some people just can't do that. And that's unfortunate. But if you can though, if you can, then you should. Like Amber pisses me off because she can't. Like she can get a nice pair of shoes. But what she'll do is she'll go to Target and get some $10, $12 knockoff version of the thing she wants. And then literally three months later, the heel will pop off and she'll have to get another one. I was like, baby, you like we're, we're not like some of your friends that you. you taught with, no offense, but like you could get the nice ones if you want them. And if you take all the money that you spent on shoes this whole year, it's more than if you just got that one pair of shoe and you spend all year replicating that one pair of shoe. And she just can't get it through her head. We, I was with our buddy Brent Turhune and Indy, Andy recently, me, him and Donnie were going

to see the naked gun. But on the way there, he had a blow out. Yes, movie rules. But Brent had a blow, his tire blew out on the way the movie theater. I definitely thought you meant diarrhea because it was Brent. No, his tire blew out and me and Don, and he didn't have a spare on him because I guess that had happened too recently. He didn't have a spare or whatever.

And me and Donnie just went to the movie without him, which he was totally on board with. We offered, we very much offered not to do that. I left my car and went. I was like, do you have a, you know, do you have a spare? We'll change it right now. We got time. Whatever. Do you want us, you know.

And he was like, please do not not go because of this because it's stupid. So we went with that, but I was telling Donnie, he was like, he was like, can you change the tire and I was like yeah dude I was like I had so many tire woes when I was younger and I was like because I was like hilariously you know but again poor white trash shit I was like I used to buy like used tires like there's a guy in the guy in salina that was the tire man he sold used time when I did a new tire I buy used tire because it was cheap and and lo and behold less than two weeks later I'm god damn I got another flatter this was got a slut it was just all the time perpetual it's expensive to be poor tire problems my whole and I'm whole like, you know, early adolescence. And it was like, yeah, well, I was buying what kind of lunatic, except, you know, buys used tires, but when you be poor and shit, what, you know, you just do because what else you're going to do? But it's like,

of course it fucks you. And of course it's bad. It makes things worse all around. Because it's not like someone gets rid of tires that are good. Exactly. Right. It's one of the world by Walmart cars. You can possibly buy at it. Walmart tires are fine. Yeah. I mean, maybe. No, no, they are. You know the gimmick on why they're so cheap, right?

because they get them from China. No, no, no, no. They are, from what I've heard, there is no difference. Like, they are so cheap, but there's actually no difference in those tires than if you go to another tire shop. It's just that Walmart knows if you're coming here to get tires, you have to walk through everything else to get to the tires. So they want you to be like, oh, that's the cheapest tires in town because they know that you're going to walk out of there with 400 bucks worth of other shit. That's another way that I am. So, Papaw, I'm exceptional.

Yeah. That's, that's, I call that. They call that a loss leader, but I kind of feel like that's just Walmart, because that's grocery stores say about rotissory chickens and stuff. Right. Like I feel like with Walmart, they're just saying that to cover up for the fact that they've got actual like slaves on their sub-Saharan African rubber plantation rubber plantation over there. That too.

All I'm saying is I'm not saying that that's not true either. My point is is that like I've seen like Mythbusters type people. Look, the quality of them is they're good tires. Like they're not cheap because they're bad tires. They're cheap because, yeah, Walmart's doing some fuck shit on it. And again, they know, like, you're going to get the tires and then go, damn, I need that $300 Yeti cooler, which they cost them $20 to get. That's really good to know because I put four new ones on the Bronco that were unbelievably cheap.

And then I put two new ones on the highowner. You ever do that? You ever do that, man? Absolutely. I've done one. Son. I've done one too. Yeah.

One makes sense because something happened to the one. Right. Yeah, right. Two, it's like, I need new tires, but put them shudder ones on the front and let them get it up a little more. Well, depending on if your front or it's a real world drive. Yeah, right. And, well, my car's all will drive, but also, um, it was pulling.

And I also wasn't about to get it completely aligned because I got in line once it didn't take care of the whole problem. So now I'm thinking, well, I've got a whole front end issue. And I ain't going to do with that yet because I'm probably going to sell this Highlander. It'll be someone else's. problem. They're going to get it cheap. It's an old car. Then I decided not to sell it. So I just have these, but I finally got my front interline and now I got the shittiest tires on the back because that's where they go. And they're all bald on one half because of the way it was pulling.

You ever had that? Oh, yeah. You got to rotate them. Just rotate them toward the bald part of the on the inside, because now on the ball part. Yeah, right. Yeah. That's what it is. Yeah, that's what, I mean, you get your rotate. And tires rotate just have put the don't hit on the. this side where it don't matter if it don't hit yeah and that's just habit by the way like that's just who i became in life that is not who i need to be no dude i hear you there's a lot of shit i still do like that that like it really don't make no goddamn sense but i'm just like it's easier to keep doing it the dumb way than it is to learn the better way somehow even though it's not you know i don't know the whole loss leader thing like you said tires at walmartre in the back you got to

walk past all the other heads to get to them. But like I said, I've also always heard people say that about rotissory chickens, but they're in the very front. They are. But you've got to get stuff to go with them. How does that work, you know? Yeah, I mean, there are people that, you know, that make up for the statistical, the other stat, which is like there are people that do just go in there to get those.

Sure. Dude, I bet there's been twice in the last few months that I've gone in there and got nothing but tires in a rotissory chicken. Yeah, you win. See, they don't want, they hate you. I just didn't know I was winning. Yeah, no, they hate you. you, dude. God, I love a

rotisserie. A rotisserie is good, man. Like, man, it changed my fucking life because like, like, I, I love making chicken salad and all sorts of stuff. And I, and so every time I did that, I was like, all right, well, I'm going to go get some breasts. I'm going to brine them. I'm going to cook them up or whatever. Now, I just get a rotiss and tear that motherfucker

apart. Then take the carcass and make broth with it. Oh, we. Oh, we! Yeah. I texted y'all this, but Katie, like last month, about a month ago. Katie and all, Katie and both the boys got sick at the same time while I was on the road.

And so, you know, of course they're sick. What do you do? She ordered like, what seemed to be a palette of chicken noodle soup, you know, from Amazon. Like just, like, comically, too much amount of chicken noodle soup. They was, uh, progresso. Oh, no. Yeah.

She went and, uh, this. That's a liberal from Spain, right? Yep. Yeah. Yeah. they were sick for like another two days after that. Because they got Progresso, not Campbell's. Campbell's is what healed you.

But either way, we had 25 fucking cans of soup left now and no one's sick in the house, right? And the way that I always am, it's like I've talked before with like when she bought that Peloton back. And I was like, you ain't going to use that. And I started like riding it out of spite. Yeah. It was the same thing with this. I was like, what the fuck? What are we going to do with all this chicken soup?

And I was just like eating it angrily. But what I did last for like three years. dude katy got tray in shape and eating well by using his spot against me yes but it works every time but i it does keep a long time it's taken up fucking space in the pantry you know so but what i did was i went got a rotissory chicken right and our and i keep that btb on me you know i keep them fangs on me beatty better than beryon chicken paste i mean i keep all the paste i got the vegetable paste mushroom paste beef paste i got out but the chicken paste in particular that and MSG makes shit, make shit good is what that stands for.

BTB, MSG, and some rotissory chicken meat put in a standard can of chicken noodle soup, such as progressor or whatever. Suddenly, it hits. And so I took those out in that way. So shout out to those three products. But that was the last thing I like, last thing that made me grateful for the existence of a readily available rotissory chicken. But I feel that gratitude multiple times a year, obviously. I think the problem that some people have is that if they would just look at canned soup or canned meats or any type of those type of ready-made things, if they would look at those as like the starter or step one instead of the complete situation, their life would be a lot better because like, you know, people make like, man, you got Campbell's cream of chicken soup. I'm like, yeah, because it's all it is is a rue. It's just a rue and a can. But what I'm going to do with it after.

words is not going to taste like your mama made you Campbell's cream of chicken soup because she's just going to follow the regular instructions, right? And Amber will be doing that. Amber will get something from the store or she'll make a recipe, right? She'll make a recipe. It'll be kind of good and she'll be eating it. And she's like, it's really good. But like, you know, it could definitely use a little more salt and a little more pepper and a little more. And just be saying all this while eating it. And I was like, well, didn't you just do that. And she's like, well, the recipe called for this. And I was like, well, it's not going to explode if you make it hit harder. You know what I mean?

But in her brain, like somehow it will. And everybody's like that. They're just like, no, can of chili. Just plop can a can of chili out. And then that's how it's going to taste. It's like, baby, you can in like less than 30 seconds make that go me. You know what I mean? That was my dad's entree into like cooking period.

And I think that's probably true for a lot of single dads. Like when my, him and my mom got divorced and he had us like he couldn't fucking boil water to begin with. Like classic man, southern man of that generation did not have a cook. shit. And he never turned into fucking, you know, emerald or nothing. But his like, his journey began, I think, with basically that, doctoring up. Nothing wrong with that. Ready made, doctoring up frozen pizzas and doctoring up, you know, chilies and box dinners and stuff like that. And it, you know, it vastly improves those products. I think with most dishes, that's where my journey ended, really. When you found out you could do that, you were like, well, fuck it.

Yeah, this is good enough. Yeah, I'm the great. I feel like I'm the greatest cook of my generation. Have you tried this frozen pizza I changed? Right. Well, dude, like, it is unbelievable how much just, like, slathering some Franks red hot sauce on a pizza before you cook it will elevate it, especially to a room full of drunk dudes who are watching Cool Hand Luke for the 19th time. Like, yeah, like, you'll have some dudes just being like, ooh, we, you know, over some very simple. simple stuff, but some people just, again, like Amber, and she's getting better, actually. Amber,

dude, I've said this before, but she was never someone who cooked. And I was fine with that, like, because I'm the guy who cooked. And I always, I've actually told her recently, I was like, I'm sort of getting scared because I've always felt like that was a huge thing that I brought to the table, like a pretty big, like, well, at least he cooks. And now when she became a mother, that mother thing flipped and she loves cooking now, right? And she's gotten very good at it, but she's still, like, paralyzed by, the recipe said this, so I can't do anything else. And I'm trying to be her good conscience, but, like, that's why I think we're going to get divorced.

Like now, once she finally flips that final switch and realizes, like, oh, I don't need him for the true hits, but I don't really do much else that hits. I suck. Look at me. Yep. Well, here's some things that I know you know that you can tell it. Like some things that, in my opinion, you can't ever ruin a dish with. It always like for starters, butter, butter,

musg, garlic, garlic, yeah, like recipes never have an appropriate amount of garlic. Or butter. Right. And it's like, it's been said a million times all over the internet, but it's true. Like you go to like a fancy restaurant, you're like, God damn, why does this hit so much harder? And nine times out of ten, it's literally just butter. It's just more butter. wouldn't believe the truly French amount of butter that actual hidden restaurants use

that you're not going to do at home because it feels egregious and it is egregious. Yeah, but it hits. That's what makes stuff hit. Yeah, right. The other thing that I'll add to that, that's simple, I think, is you can just learn the basis of one or two hidden cuisines. Absolutely. And then understand that those ingredients go together.

And just realize that it doesn't matter what you're putting it on or where you're putting it with. these ingredients go together. Yeah. And that's actually where my journey ended. Like, I can just, like, hey, what can you do with this? Well, okay, I can make a Cajun-style dish. I can make an Italian-style dish.

Now, one, I can make one Cajun-style dish. I can make one Italian-style dish. Who cares? I know what goes together inside those cuisines. And, you know, to people who don't know shit, it looks like I know what I'm doing. But beyond that, I don't. Dude, all you need is like, all you need is like three or four things that you do really, really well.

And I think you'll have a pretty good life. You know, because I think, I think normally if you, once you learn how to do three or four things really, really well, it will level up everything else you do. And then next thing, you know, you know how to do 10 things really well. You're talking about doctor and stuff up or whatever. It's like it just, like you said, don't take much just a little. Like I remember like in college and shit, we know, hamburger help are all the goddamn time. right and I still love still love hamburger helper but what I'll literally all I would do was like chop up some onion and garlic and saute that in butter and then make the hamburger helper

in that you know the rest of the way and like dude I don't my roommates and sell these dude you know 19 year old stoner bros who didn't cook shit or whatever would always be like god dang like like fucking what what did you do to that like mama try mama trade that literally what they call me mama trade like how did what is your secret you know and it's like it ain't shit it's literally the simplest thing in the world. Make it mirroix. Merepoie. Merepoa. Bebe. Yeah, man. I mean, that's like with pasta, like, I make, it's, unless I'm making caccio de Pepe or just a regular

fetuccini alfredo, like, where like, you know, there's only so many ingredients. Like, pretty much every pasta dish I've ever made has been completely dissimilar. I won't say completely dissimilar. But like, I just, like Drew said, you know all these ingredients that kind of go together. how this dish tastes depends on which amount of each I put in it and also then all this protein will go here maybe I'll do this and I'll just make some pasta and Amberbik oh my God how'd you do this and I'll be like baby I couldn't I couldn't tell you I couldn't do it again if I tried

because I was just in there in the lab I was just in the lab you know what I mean like never do it again dude yeah never I made curry the other day and we didn't have any coconut milk so I used coconut water and clean yeah I made it I followed that. Might have even been better. They're fucking up. They got to do it my way, dude. Yeah.

No, that might even be better, yeah. Because, I mean, it's to come to cream. You can take lessons from your boy. Cream boy, I'll tell you what. I mean, Derry got me in a chokehold son. And if it didn't, I got, yeah, I mean, I know that's, yeah, I get it. But, like, I got a friend with my sister-in-law, actually. And she's always been finer than frog hair.

I don't care if she or her husband or nobody hear me say it. She hot as hell. and I love, and she's my favorite, and we love each other. Wait, hold on. So that, you're, so Amber's sister you're talking about? No, no, no, Amber's sister-in-law. I just, it's my brother, it's my brother-in-law's wife, but like, she's my sister-in-law. Amber's brother's wife.

And she's also the sweetest, like, people shouldn't, if everybody was like her, we'd have no problems, you know. But she just had, like, three kids, and then after the third one, like, she slimmed down real fucking quick. And she was like, I could tell there's a different pep to her step. and I was like, man, I was like, I was like, you feeling good, you know, because she'd been having some stomach issues. She goes, yep, she said, I'm telling you. She said, I could fix you right now. And I was like, what?

She goes, Corey, we really just ain't supposed to be having to dairy. We do. She's like, I'm telling you. She said, she got off dairy and soy, like in all the stuff. She goes, I feel great. She said, there's stuff. I didn't realize that food was giving me headaches. I didn't realize that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And I swear to God, like, she's telling me that thing. like I've solved it, Corey, I can help you out. And I may as well been speaking Chinese. I was like, I'm going to give up butter and cream and cheese. Shit, I'll just hurt. You know what I mean? I'll just hurt is what I'll do. Yeah, for sure.

And I thought that us whites, you know, had, and I know that plenty of white people are still like toast intolerant. But I thought that we had adapted over the years from being like, you know, cultivated in the dark and the cold and the sunless. the sunless shadows of gray wind-swept plains of Europe with all the plagues and shit all over the place. That's what, that's where we were forged. That's why we are,

you know, so evil and shit. Yeah. We're just, milk kept us alive. Yeah, but that's much. Living off the fat of lamb.

We really are. I was about to say. It was also our milk supply of the cow. Right. Milk literally kept us a lot. And we needed milk because we didn't have no sun and shit and vitamin D or whichever one of the vitamins it is and all that. stuff so we and that was over generations and centuries so like we can be fucking with milk but it is

again a lot of white people still can't but like i guess generally human beings aren't supposed to aren't supposed to i guess yeah that's that's so funny that we really are just like poisonous infectious corticeps on the world yeah yeah no me dude oh yeah no idea they they find yeah but i'm mostly german dude hey i got something for y'all you don't see something raven oh yeah always okay this is uh this is just you know it's not it's definitely a theme of putting on airs but i feel like it's been a theme of a well-read just the well-read boys forever that just the past be something else i mean just anytime you think the past couldn't be more raven here come the past um this is a clip i got it from a guy named treehouse detective and i suggest everybody follow him

He's awesome. His whole deal on Instagram is just deep diving into things that you would never think to think of. And I love that stuff. And this is about why cartoons always wear white gloves. Enjoy. No reason why cartoon characters wear white gloves is way more disturbing than you think. So everybody's familiar with this very specific style of white glove that a ton of classic cartoon characters wear. But not many people really question why they're wearing the gloves.

Why do they wear the gloves? Well, a lot of people will tell you it's so the character's hands can stand out from their darker bodies, which made it easier for animators to make them more expressive and to better convey the things that they were doing with their hands. And while that's technically true, it's only half of the story, and it leaves out a very important and very disturbing detail. Cartoon characters wear white gloves so that their hands stand out against their black bodies, because blackface minstrel actors from the 1920s and 30s wore white gloves so that their hands would stand out. out against the black paint on their faces. Because many...

Ain't that raving. That's just so supremely ravin. It's always racism, dude. Every time. I knew that because I once saw a video like that that was explaining that that's all Mickey and Minnie were. Yeah, they are. They were drawn as menstrual.

Goofy, too. God damn, dude. I mean, that's wild. Goofy, if you think about him, he might be the most overt one because he also is like dumb and ignorant and fucking, you know, and that's how, that was, that's what separated the menstrual character from just a regular blackface person is that they had to be dumb, they had to be lazy, unless it was the woman. And then, you know, then the Mamie, she was like doing everything. But like, it's so wild. We've talked about it a little bit on POA. But like, you know, when, and I know you've read the book, the comedians by Cliff Nesterhoff. And if anybody out there hasn't, it's the, it's the book. I've probably promoted that book more than I have any book I've ever written because I think it's the best. book ever written on comedy. Bob Hope used to just go up in blackface, but just do his act. Like he wouldn't do black, he wouldn't do menstrual stuff. He would just go up and do his act. And everybody was like, why are you doing that? And he's like, because you're supposed to,

actors were, what do you mean? Actors were blackface. Like it was just, so like, that's the crazy part to me. It's like, I understand if you're wearing it doing a character. I mean, it's wrong. It's horribly racist. But like, literally they were just like, we got to put burnt cork on our otherwise people won't take us seriously as a comedian. It's kind of crazy. Yeah, it is, my opening joke. Isn't it? Like, you said, like,

the origin of black face was all, it was all like making fun of black people. Of course. Right. And it was also like, we want to have black entertainment. Popular because of how Raven the past was and everything, that eventually,

because that was so popular, they just were doing everything. in black face, like just because, even if it wasn't the traditional menstrual show thing. Yeah, it became a signifier of you're a performer, like performers were black. Or you're a comedian? Well, comedian, yeah, I guess comedian more so than anything. But like, yeah, no, at first it was like, I mean, obviously the origins are, and this is easy to understand. They wanted there to be black entertainment, but they couldn't let black people do it, you know,

so they would get white people to wear black face. And then, like, and then, of course, you know, Al Jolson did it in the movie, the, the, the jazz singer, jazz singer, whatever. And it's the first talkie ever. First talkie. That's the first talkie, which, uh, that's a segment for POA later on this month. I've actually been researching that movie quite a bit. It's, it's really wild. Like, and the reason I say that is because, uh, the, like, I'd love to talk about it on here, too.

Like, when that movie came out, the talkie, it's really wild how like, you know, it's sort of like, how old heads talk about YouTube even still now. You know, when that that talkie came out, like, it's so obvious for us that's like, yeah, that changed the game. That's going to be the new way. But those old silent stars were just like, this is a flash in the pan. This ain't ever going to be a thing. And they

treated people that did talkies less than, you know, like they were like, oh, that's not real. What we, you're only a real actor if you can convey it without the words or whatever. Content. Yeah. Versus stand-up. Exactly. It's literally. It's literally,

every time, but like it was, you know, it took what, eight months? Yeah. Yeah, but it, for like people to almost be like, from people to go like, so is Trey a real stand-up to the fucking liberal redneck? Right. But it's a shit eight months, but it was like, am I shortening it? I don't know, but that's what, that's what Roy was saying at the time and he was right went out because I was all like, you know, sort of in my head about it or whatever.

And I talked to him about it. He was like, dude, it's fucking, this is what always happens. This is no different. And it's true, like what Corey just said, silent films and talkies, but also radio to TV, the internet in general and that YouTube. And Vaudeville to Radio, Volvill to Radio. Every time, no matter how many times it's proven wrong, every time that happens, there are people going like,

this is just some fad bullshit that isn't going to take. And then it becomes the new norm eventually. I mean, sometimes I guess not every fad. it but or who rises in it often in the beginning that's true because it often is like some low as come i mean the people you were parodying were just fucking dip shits by a truck right like i and a lot of them like took off some of them like got i mean that one dude that we always complain about and always forget his name which don't tell me thank god i forgot it who started out literally just lip syncing i mean he did it to one of my jokes oh yeah i think that like

that probably, maybe not with the talkies, but there's been a lot of examples of like, yeah, people who weren't good enough or didn't have access to the right stuff. Like there's a few, probably half or more people who are like, eh, and then old crumudgeons like me

kind of hold them up as the excuse to shit on it. Exactly. But the thing is... Southern Mama is content and Wood Jr. is stand up. And then you fast forward a few years, Southern Mama is. out of the game, all but out of the game, because he's not going to have to hit.

Right. But let me ask you, I know I'm the one that just said, oh, it happens every time, and it does happen every time. And this is what I'm in the current era that it's happening in right now. So, of course, I would say something like this, but sincerely, though, hear me out. I feel like, you know, when we're from silent films to talkies, there are always like silent film stars who are like beautiful and elegant or whatever, but you never heard him speak. And as soon as I turn a microphone on, they're like, oh, you go crazy.

They were bringing a large overhead or fire. They were like, Jesus, fucking Christ. Like, obviously, that ain't going to work. Marion Davies. So then people who did hit at talking, in addition to looking beautiful and having the physicality or whatever, now they're hit. They have a broader skill set than they're the ones hitting now than before.

Radio, face for radio, crush on the radio, be a fucking gobbling. Yeah, right. and, you know, or whatever. Howard Stern, I miss, you know. TV takes over, you know, and you got to hit in more ways or whatnot. And so you're forced out. So it's like normally, I feel like these advances lead to like a broadening of the talent that's represented.

But I feel like I think we would all agree that it's like the current era, as Drew pointed out, in at least many, many ways, it's been the exact opposite. It's people get, people make one pose or do one dance or lip sync other shit or do whatever and that's all they do and become millionaires and super famous and shit so and i'm saying i think i don't stick around action you know i i have two counterpoints i guess to make i think that did happen at first i think that's starting to go away a little so and i and i can't help but wonder if that happened at first in other worlds you know back in the day right and we just don't remember because we weren't there and that no it sure did but like two i do think there's a broadening of it i mean i think

I suffer from an inability to make content. I think I'm a very, very, very good stand-up community. I think I'm even better than I was when we first started to break. To the point that I feel like it shocks people sometimes, how good I am a stand-up comedy, because I am so mediocre on the internet. So I definitely think there's a broadening, but content itself and the platform and the medium is so clout and attention-driven that there's no depth. We have a shallow but broad.

hot takes. Talent pool now. Now, I'm not saying that the people involved in are all shallow, but I mean, do you not feel frustrated that people who do know

you know a shallow version of you? Don't you think that happens sometimes? If people don't follow the podcast and you're standing up, they're like, even when you stopped

talking with the ass stick of an accent, and you just got in the Jeep and you stopped talking about, you know, little back on my fucking porch, boy, like people were like,

so he was faking it the whole time. It's like, there's a shallowness, but the broadness, I think, I think we are absolutely seeing, I mean, dude, the Paul brothers are very broadly talented. They're just so shallow. They're good at what they, I mean,

the thing that's broadness, yeah. We got it in space. Unfortunately, the thing they are, anymore. Right. Unfortunately, the thing that they are undenied by the best at is creating

controversy and getting clicks based on a lot of hate. But I will tell you right now, when I'm saying the ability to act, do flip, wrestle, no, no, that's what I was going to say.

I think breath is, is on the internet in space. I think that we lack any depth. Yeah, no, I hear you. And like, it's,

it's upsetting because, like, you know, there's some people that, like, their whole goal is just to be famous on the internet and monetize their stuff

and get money that way or whatever. And I know Trey feels this way, and I know you feel this way. Everything I do on the internet is just to stay relevant. So hopefully people will buy tickets to see my shows, or I'll get cast in a movie, or you know what I'm saying so that they can see my other stuff that I do that not that I'm not proud of the characters I create on the internet but they're all basically just in my mind auditions for the world of look what else I can do you know what I mean yeah I'm trying to find this kid and someone else is popping up because I typed in TikTok or movie deal and some other assholes popping up there's this kid who did sketches for a while and now he had I think he and then he made his own movie he he he fund crowd fundraised it whatever And then there was a bidding war after it premiered at this,

premiered this film festival. Good for him. I think that we're going to start seeing what you just described, Trey, just in terms of like it actually will broaden and has broadened the talent pool, and we will see it. It's just that the internet is not built, like I said,

to mine for depth. And so people are just going to have to do that on their own. Like, this kid could have ridden out what he had going on on the internet. I'm certain of it with his YouTube channel or whatever, I wish I could find him and find his name. Well, back in the day, you,

back in the day, he just wanted to add the depth. Back in the day they made stars and now they want you to make yourself first before they will have you. And like a big example is like Louis B. Mayor, one of his like the final year of his life, you know,

when he's trying to submit his legacy after Irvin Thalberg, his creative partner and like outright genius had died, he's straight up said. He's like, at Metro Golden Mayor, Mayor, we, you don't have to have, you just have to have a look. We do the rest. He's like, here's what I do. He's like, I see someone, and if they got a face I like, I put it on screen.

And if it tests well on the screen, acting, seeing it, whatever, he goes, we can figure all that out. You know, and we, he's like, what he said, what he said was, stars aren't born, they're made, right? And nowadays, it's almost the complete opposite where it's like, they're not going out looking for an unknown to mold. They're looking for someone who already has built their following so that they can bring that following to their project. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's definitely a wider or a larger thing now. I don't know. Who am I to question Louis B. Mayor? But it's like, I do think that we all know that story, that Hollywood story. And again, it still happens. Sometimes we've talked about this before. The cliche of, you know, fucking limousine pulls up, window rolls down,

cigar smoke comes out fucking Jennifer Lawrence gets pointed at by an old Jewish guy, you and then it happens. And that's been happening since Hollywood was, you know, first the thing. But like the whole idea of like all that matters is to look. The rest of it will make it will make it work. But like it didn't always work out. I'm not saying what I'm supposed to say. And I guess I'm disproving my own point here because I know that Gal Godot is a huge star.

Right. But it's like, I mean, dude, come on. Like she knows something is all there. is beautiful, one of the beautiful women alive. So she's got the look in Spades, but, I mean, she does not hit at acting and stuff. So, but again, she says massive. But I think now, especially like I think of it. I pick some hit and sing or dance or whatever.

Yeah. I mean, what are you going to do with you? You know what I mean? At that point in time. like yeah because it does kind of contradict what he said because i've talked we've talked about this before like you know i can probably name 10 people that are currently stars maybe 10 that i think would have also been stars in the 30s 40s and 50s you know because like huge jackman i genuinely think timberlake a guy like timberlake would have been fine like you but you had to be able to dance

sing and act you had to be able to do all of it and or just one of it really well because like Obviously, Brando couldn't do the other things. But most of the time, like Gene Kelly, dude, if you ever watch Gene Kelly shit, it's unbelievable. And the way that he would practice, man, like, it's like, you know, they talked about when, I guess, Ed King or whatever, laid down 10 separate tracks for the Freebird solo. And they were going to pick which one was the best. And they laid them all on top of each other.

And there was not a millimeter of difference between any of the notes. I mean, Gene Kelly would practice until his feet bled, and it was like that, you know. And also he could act, also he could sing, also he was very charming, he looked good on camera. You had to be able to do those fucking things, which, by the way, is why I really enjoyed the movie Hell Caesar, because the Cohen brothers forced Channing Tatum and a bunch of people to do that type of shit, which really hit for me. But yeah, like, you really, you really had to do it all back then. Oh, I think, you know who, I think Tom Holland would have been okay back then, especially because he's a teeny tiny person. Robert Danny Jr.

probably would have been okay back then, too. He can do all that stuff. I'm still trying to find this kid's name, and it's driving me crazy that I can't find it. Yeah, no, look, I see people all the time on social media that I'm like, goddamn, they're fucking, that is a crazy, talented person or whatever. And there's a ton of that,

and a ton of them do also hit. But there is still also a time. I also see things all the time, you know, that I then find out they've got to, crazy following or whatever and I'm like bro what is going on like for that what yeah what what even fucking is that you know but there were people people making good money I think like take so let's stay inside the world we're talking about like stand up to the internet and how the industry's

changed I think there are people making really good money back before the internet mattered where we would be like that I mean I can remember opening for some of them yeah yeah Like, damn, is that all you got to do? Yeah. Yeah. There was a time where like once you, it felt like if you popped during the 70s, 80s and early 90s, you were just grandfathered in to being able to be allowed to hit forever, like in perpetuity. And I don't, I'd feel like that doesn't exist anymore.

Like, there's no more of a grandfathered. Like, like, dude, greatest, one of the biggest examples, I think, of he clearly got dirt on people is like Andy Dick still pop up and stuff. You know what I mean? And it's like he, because he got, he popped at a time where he got famous in this time where they go, okay, now you're a famous person. You're in this bubble of famous people

and you forever will be in this bubble of famous people for now until you die. It's what I'm saying, making sense. Yeah, definitely. Right. You did, yeah, it used to be, well, it goes back to the whole thing about a monoculture and stuff. Like there used to be a monoculture,

like if you were famous, like people, things like me, I don't think really existed for most of that time. Maybe amongst, maybe a musician in music, because there were always like niche genres of music with its own fan bases and stuff, maybe. But in the world of like comedy and, you know, TV and film or any of that shit, if you were like at all famous, you were just famous, like people, because everybody was watching the same shit. And broadly famous. Everybody was watching the same stuff, had the same reference points and all that shit. And that's been gone for a long time. And like you were talking about, and I don't mean any disrespect to this dude at all because he was a nice and funny guy. Maybe this would still be the case.

I don't know. But sidesplers comedy club in Knoxville when I was starting in like 2011 or whatever, this is years after Seinfeld ended. Right. And the guy that played Kenny Banya on Seinfeld, right? Yeah. Came through every year and would sell out every show. The whole, the club would be packed all weekend, right? And it's like.

Because he's Kenny Banya. Yeah. I know Seinfeld is massive. but still it's like I don't think that that type of thing however you want to like you know

categorize that I don't think that that type of thing happens or can happen anymore I don't know it don't because he's like a back he's like a somewhat recurring you know side character that like hit for people

and was a stand-up comic which helped yeah he had been a stand-up comic but I don't think that I mean I don't think that people are that were going to those shows unless they had seen him before but you know what I mean? They weren't going because they were like,

oh, I know that this guy was a stand-up already. And I like that. I respect that about it. I'm just saying it helped that he portrayed a stand-up comedian on the show. Like it just in a way helped that he was a stand-up comic. Right. But anyway,

I don't think that I'm trying to even think of like a comparison to make like in the modern day. I mean, you know, well, no, you can't because I was going to say it's like, I wanted to say like, well,

right after Parks and Rec, um, uh, Nick Offerman started, started doing like stand-up tours and stuff and people went but he was like and that was the thing that broke he I mean like he was already hitting but like him playing that character really made him a thing and now he does like spoken word tours and stuff but he's also really he really is funny you know like he really is funny and a great actor or whatever let me ask you I think I maybe

have thought of one because again at the time I was doing this Seinfeld had been off the air for 13 years or whatever at that point in time do you think that that Stevie from Eastbound and Down who was absolutely fucking hilarious on that show. But you think if he booked a weekend at, you know, go bananas in Cincinnati or whatever. Yeah, I think he'd do well. You'd have to put a clip or two out.

Of course. For it to do well. But if you put a clip or two out of him doing stand-up and it was good, I think he would do really well. Superimposed with him being Stevie. You've got to throw the Stevie clips in there. But yeah, that show, I think obviously nothing. Nothing's ever going to be as big as Seinfeld again.

But I think Eastbound and Down is enough of a cultural phenomenon for like that guy to for sure. And yeah, you know what's funny? I've only ever seen him in like one other thing. I know. That's why I picked him out. I was trying to think of somebody that like hit real hard. At one thing. And then, but then, you know, I haven't seen him in a while.

And I didn't know what he was up there. He had a small part in righteous gemstones and he nailed it. I'm sure he did. Yeah. I mean, he was murdered on that show. He also was arguably the second late. You know what I mean? Yeah, he was, he was, he was, yeah, for sure, for sure.

So even then, he right? I'm not called up on that. I've seen the most recent season. I saw the ones before that. If you're talking about the most recent season, then no, I haven't seen it. That's the one that he's in, yeah. So actually, even that, now I'm, that, now it's more like Clegg, okay? Yeah, which he's done for, pretty sure.

What, the actor, is he, did he die or something? No, I would, no, I think, honestly, he may have died, but him and Danny McBride apparently had a huge falling out. Because he was part of their crew, right? He was part of their crew. I think he might have died, dude. Let me look it up, but like, yeah, he was part of their clue. And, like, I think he, like, went on some Tyrants.

So let's, so removing all that, like, taking all that out. Yeah, he did. Okay. He did, yeah. Let's pretend he's not. He didn't have all these publicized troubles and all this shit. Just from being Clegg on that show. He could have for a minute.

Not now. Not Stevie. Not Stevie. Well, I mean now, if Clegg was alive and booked a weekend at Gobinez and Cincinnati, would he fill it up? It wouldn't go as well as Stevie's. I think he would have like, I think that the. Well, that's a better analogy. Yeah, for sure.

It would be like saying Kramer before he did the hell N-word thing. And it's like, well, yeah, he was. Of course. I think that it was not the same thing. Also, you know, well, also, he, Michael Richards was on Fridays before that. And like, but like, I think that the staff and the owners would not be upset at the numbers. But I think that it wouldn't be like, a thing that he could do, you know, once a quarter or something, you know, especially.

And again, we, there's a big component of this. What's the act like? If the act is good, if you can get them out there and then the act is good, yeah, they'll come back. But like, they'll only come see you once for novelty purposes. Because, and you know what I mean? Because like, once they've seen like, yeah, we saw Clegg, but the show was terrible. If the only good part is seeing Clegg, well, you've already done that, which is why, like,

frankly, I never, like, Polly Shore was one of these dudes. right where like he got now he did movies and stuff he was a legit movie star in the 90s cultural phenomenon in 19th he was like one of the faces of the early 90s absolutely absolutely um but he like his stand-up is abysmal it is terrible and he what am i not supposed to say this no i've just obviously i wasn't there and i don't know but i've heard like comics say that back in that time because i get he was doing stand-up even then or whatever i reckon you know being mitsy son And I've heard people say that it's like it was, you know, good or that it used to like hit or whatever. But then.

Well, maybe it was. But now just talks about how he used to be famous and how it's bullshit that he's not. Yeah. And to me, it's like he just seems like bitter and stuff. And so that's like. I'm sure there was a time he was fine. But I don't know why people keep going to those shows just to hear him be like, hey, remember when I did Encino, man?

You know what I mean? Like, that's a thing you do once. And then you don't do that anymore. Also, he's rude to people. Like, I wouldn't be talking shit about him if I thought he was otherwise a good person. But, like, he's been a very terrible person to people I know. But, yeah, like that type of shit. Right.

But, you know, well, again, he was a huge star, though. He was. You said you were like, if you don't hit, they won't come back. But it's like, I don't, I mean. How they kind of do, though. Yeah, but maybe not every time. I don't know who the hell knows, dude. We're never going to figure it out.

We're never going to figure it out. It's such an ethereal, unknowable thing, how any of this shit fucking works. So I don't know. I don't know either. I don't know shit. Drew, do you know? Buddy, I know the least.

Yeah. The least knowing. Yeah. I always surprise anyone shows up. Listen, how dumb this is. So we went to Gatlinburg this weekend and... Starts off pretty dumb. Yep.

All right. Well, first off, the side of the family I was talking about my sister and all, I love them, they're great, but the thing about them is is that they have no capability to plan anything whatsoever, and they will decide, hey, we're doing this big family thing and then give you 10 hours notice. You know what I mean? Like, we're having, we're having so-and-so's birthday. So it's Big Bash. It's tonight. And it's like, okay, we've all got kids and we've all got stuff to do, but we don't want to look like Dicks. We're going to be there. Well, this time it was going to Gatlinburg. So we get a 24-hour notice to not only go to this birthday party, but like, you got to book a hotel, you got to do all this

stuff, whatever. So I'm like, Amber's like, look, I know that you got stuff to do this weekend. I know you got that show on Saturday, but like we can just go up Friday night and we can stay until about two on Saturday and we'll be able to go to the water park with them and that'll make them happy and then we'll leave. And I was like, bet, that's fine, no problem. Well, we get there. Me and Amber get our own separate place because I'm not trying to be in with a bunch of people. And we get to their place and like it's three families like all crammed into this one spot. And it is at this moment I realize what they've done is they have agreed to go to a timeshare meeting, right? They've agreed to go to, right.

They've agreed to go to a timeshare meeting so that they're like, y'all, man, it's great. We got the whole weekend for $100. And I'm like, yep, but there's a pretty big catch to all that, right? So they tell us, we come up, then after Amber gets off work. So we don't even get to Gatlinburg until like 8.30 on Friday night. I go to the arcade, hang out with the birthday boy, get a little drunk, whatever. We wake up and our whole thing is at 12, they said, we'll go to the water park before y'all leave it too. And I was like, okay, so we're like at 12, we'll go there, we'll go to the water park,

Bain will be all happy, you know, whatever. Well, we get there and they're like, oh, right, we have to go sit at that timeshare meeting at 1.30. And we're like, oh, and they're like, and we can't go to the water park until after we go to the timeshare meeting because that's part of the deal. And so we're like, okay, well, we're leaving because I have to go. Well, y'all drove up and got there at 8.30 on Friday night

and we're leaving to drive back home at like barely after lunchtime the next day. Yeah, it was all stupid. It was all stupid. But I did this so that because, you know, everybody, you'll hear, I'll hear the chirps of like, Corey don't ever do nothing. He don't ever whatever.

But like, I work on the weekends. Like I've told these people a million times. Like, if I worked third shift at the factory, no one would ever question why I wasn't at a 9 p.m. party. No one would ever question it. They'd be like, well, he works third shift. But because of what we do, they can't get it across their heads. And that's whatever. It's a weird job, you know.

But I was like, no, I'm going to do both. I said, if all we can be, if all I can be there for is to give them is present and we'll swim for two hours, that'll be fine. But because they don't plan anything or think about either. They're either, okay, they either. And I love them. I love them. They're either really stupid and don't know how time is work, or they're way smarter than all of us, and they actually do see time as spatial, like Einstein said that we're supposed to. You know what I mean? Because they, to them, we have a thing at 1.30, and we were supposed to be

swimming from 12 to 2. In their mind, both of those things can happen at the same time. I don't know how they think that, but they do. So we leave, right? And Amber's like, I hope you're not mad. I was like, baby, I'm not mad. We stopped and went to the old meal and got some need. I said, hey, listen, we took a family trip to Gatlinburg. It didn't go the way we were supposed to, but we showed up. We did the thing. Bain had a lot of fun. Now we're going back home and I'll do my show.

Dude, they called later and they go to the fucking timeshare meeting, which takes like an hour and a half, right? And the dude goes, he's like, all right, thanks for having us. We're not going to get a time share, but we would like our passes for the water park. And they're like, okay. So they hand this guy four passes to the water park. And he's like, well, I need more than that. and they're like, what do you mean?

And he's like, well, we've got, but he goes, they go, sir, how many people are in your, in your place? And he's like, well, we got, ma'am, ma'am, all these kids, blah, blah, blah. They're like, sir, this is for one, this is for one family. A family consists of that that's a term for four people. You know what I mean? Like, it's not just like anyone with your last name or whatever. And they're like, well, this is how many people we got.

This is how many water park passes we need. The whole trip was based around the water park, and they ended up not giving them any tickets. And they just had to fucking drive home. So they got nothing because they didn't understand what timeshare rules meant, right? Did they get kicked out? They were already on their last day of their stay anyway, so it was fine. But they were, I'm pretty sure they had told them like, you know, really we could be asking y'all for some money because it was supposed to be, you get $100 for the weekend, but that's like per family. And y'all have, you know, just crammed 19 people into this place.

So anyways, it's because. They used to be very poor. this is like us with the tires? Is this just how they travel? Maybe. No, it's just to me it comes down to they don't plan nothing and they don't think nothing ahead. I don't know. I think it took some planning to get 19 people to one goddamn time chair and then to the presentation on time. Well, none of them have nothing else to do.

You know what I mean? The mamma and papal don't do nothing. And then like, I'm just saying, and again, I love these people. But like, they're always making fun of me because I'm a stickler for like being punctual and like saying, hey, if we're going to do this at this, this is going to take two hours so we can't plan this and do that. And they're always like, oh, just go with the flow. Corey, if you just go with the flow more.

And so, yeah, admittedly, it was nice to see that this is what happens when you go with the goddamn flow. You don't get to go to the fucking water park. Hell yeah, dude. Yeah, that's crazy. I thought that timeshares were like, had long since become a cliche joke for an obvious scam that you don't fuck with, you know? Like as of 15, 20 years ago, I thought.

Longer than that. Me and Andy got a Vegas weekend for $100 and you had to go to one meeting. And they've hounded us and then extended it twice. But we moved and then we had the kid, you know, like a bunch of stuff happened. But I felt like and I still feel like I am impervious to that. Sure. I will sit in there. I'll read that contract.

I'll sit in there. And the moment I'm allowed to leave, I'll be like, it says right here. it's an hour long, this is kidnapping. You either call the cops in the other fucking room. Yeah, I mean, I feel like I could maybe do that, although I've said famously, like I won't go near the Scientology building because they've taken better man than me. And that's certainly true of timeshares. But like Amber the whole time, I was sitting in there dogging them about it because they didn't need,

I was having to explain to them what a timeshare was. Like they were like, we've heard of it. But I'm explaining them the whole fucking thing. And they're like, so you don't own it? I was like, no, fuck no. You know? And then Amber was like, see, Corey would. never do this. He would just spend more money so he didn't have to sit through that thing.

And I was like, yeah. Yes, I would. I was like, and by the way, I understand if you don't have the money to do that, that, but yes, of course I would. That is what the point of money is, is to not have to do inconvenient shit. That's exactly the point of, like, money is for letting me do a thing that is better than the thing if I didn't have that money. So you're goddamn right. I would have just bought tickets to the fucking water park. I also, and for me, it's that I'm the opposite of Drew and that like I'll I'll I'll you can get me to agree to something just because that's how badly I want it to stop yeah like I want this to be over so much yeah like fine fucking whatever I'll just give you what you want and that's like and I know that and that's why I can't

that's why those situations are like complete nightmares for me that I avoid at all costs for sure oh my other plan to this is I mean I'm buying a dozen but tires in the rotiss for chicken my other plan was if there was no like hour commitment like if they could just keep me there indefinitely is I just start telling everybody in there while they were not by it until they let me leave absolutely my buddy Ethan whenever he'd go to the principal's office when the principal's trying to tell him how much he was in trouble he would just start punching himself in the nose until he bled and he's just like you're really going to do this to a crazy person and they just let him leave Jesus Christ he can't he's not doing well boy you don't

say perhaps you can't argue perhaps you can't argue with that All right. Well, out of time this week, I believe. Let me tell you all come see me in Ohio this weekend all over the state of Ohio. Next weekend, all over the state of Virginia. And then not all that long after that, there's like Oklahoma City, Dallas, Nashville, with Corey and Drew at the end of the year at Zanis and right before Christmas.
