Starting point is 00:01:48 I've been thinking about shooting a banker. What have you been thinking? Do you know? A specific one. or just in general? Sure, probably. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Banker got you down right now, has he? Hey, and the insurance man. Yeah, got you over a barrel, do they? No, they're trying to put me over a barrel, and I don't want to go. It's not where I belong. I'm not outside, isn't it? Yeah, of course, yeah. I don't believe you belong over a barrel,
Starting point is 00:02:21 and I'd like to say the man who thinks he could put you out of one. Well, I can introduce you to him. His name's Todd. It's Todd. Well, fuck you. Todd? Yeah. Aren't those
Starting point is 00:02:33 Topo Chico bottles the best? Yeah. I just keep mine. Like, I don't even have glasses anymore. I just have big Topo Chico bottles that I keep filling up. It's selling Andy. Yeah. Andy loves a good jar.
Starting point is 00:02:46 It's a good jar. Dude, me too. I've got two things of cultured butter going right now in two of my best jars. There's a salsa brand that it's... I spit two of my best jars on you. there's a salsa brand that you know a salsa bottles often they have a tendency to just kind of go their own way they're like oh we're shaped like a woman or this salsa bottle so i have seen pace yes yeah but this one it's big and wide and it goes all the way to the top it's a great jar for you know fermentation purposes and yeah me and and Andy are pretty similar I guess in some ways yeah in the worst ways what the fuck um um I wanted to ask you, so I'm a little caught up on it. Like, I knew that the NBA, particularly the Atlanta Hawks,
Starting point is 00:03:37 which obviously it's the Atlanta Hawk, because Atlanta is the, and has been for a while, and to my knowledge, nobody's even coming for the crown, mecca of strip clubs in the United States. It's black strip clubs. Okay, black strip clubs, right? Well, where has the most per capita? Okay, but we're talking about, but eliteness.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, I guess you're right. It is black strip clubs. When I think of like elite strip clubs, I think of, you know, Magic City, Pink Pony. Yeah. And then Atlanta. Okay. Yeah, and this is obviously like a distance bias for me.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I'm two hours from them. So my entire life has just been Cheetah, Pink Pony, you know. But Magic City. It's also a rapper bias. Yes. You are hearing about these. You know, it's like when Jay-Z bought his own vodka brand and then started rapping about how cool it was to drink it.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Right. It's that, but I mean not that planned. I just mean hearing people rap about those places has put it in your mind that they're better. And maybe they are. Sure. But I'm just saying like per capita, it's Portland as far as I know. Which we've been to a couple there and they do hit. But I think it is inarguable to say that the strip club that has been having the most moment lately would have to be
Starting point is 00:04:57 Magic City over because of the NBA. Especially when it comes to the NBA. It's had a few moments, right? And on television, Donald Glover's show, they went to Magic City several times. Yeah, Atlanta. They did go several times. During the bubble, the shortened NBA season because of COVID
Starting point is 00:05:17 in which they all, they rented out a giant defunct, I think, campus, and they lived there and played all their games there. Kind of wild, but they. did. It's wild what they did. Skip to my Lou Williams, also known as Lemon Pepper Lou, who has his own flavor of chicken wing there at Magic City. Part of the reason why, do you know the rest, do you know what I'm about to say?
Starting point is 00:05:41 I only know, I know that Lou Williams has his own chicken wing flavor there. He got a furlough to go to a funeral to leave the bubble during the short and NBA season because of COVID, to go to Atlanta for a funeral in which he had very specific instructions and allowances in terms of what he was going to do went straight to the script club Jack Harlow was there Harlow posts a picture of it on his Instagram
Starting point is 00:06:10 like, you know what up? It's me with Skip to Maloo at the place where he has his own flavor chicken wings, again rap and then Lou Williams got mega fined, his team got mega fined. I can remember if he got the, I think he had to like quarantine for two weeks before they let him play again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Yeah, I remember that. That's fucking great. And that's when he was in the Pepper Lou. And that was what his excuse was, no, no, like, I know it's a bad look. I didn't pretend to go to a funeral so I could go home and go to Magic City. I did go to a funeral. I got hungry. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:51 These are the best wings around. Yep. Which, of course, everyone was like, come on, Lou. I'm Team Lou on that way. Yeah. I mean, look, I guess you're right. He shouldn't have gone anywhere. It's just the strip club makes it look.
Starting point is 00:07:07 It's a worse look. But like, if he'd have been at Dave and Busters, it would have still been the same crime. You went outside the bubble, and you weren't supposed to do that. You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm there would have been like, damn, you really risked all this for Dave and Busters. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I guess now that crime is like you risked all this for, you know, not even getting posted. I mean, Lou Williams probably gets him supposed to get out of strip club. He's Lemon Pepper Lou, Drew. Lerner Pepper Lou here. I'm in Pepper Lou.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Even if you're not him who is in the NBA and it just, if a regular dude who went by Lemon Pepper Lou, he's getting that ass. You know what I mean? So if he didn't give himself the nickname, I think that's true. I don't want anyone to hear this
Starting point is 00:07:47 to start calling themselves Lemon Pepper Lou. You can't do that. You can't give yourself an nickname. Well, and it won't stick. You know what I mean? If it sticks, you pulled it off, sure, but like, I'm just, I think other than that, your point and your logic's pretty sound, dude. Yeah, because, and here's the thing, it would have to be the ratio of how much
Starting point is 00:08:06 lemon pepper wings you have to eat. Like, if your name is already Lou, that does a lot of the heavy lifting. So you probably only have to eat lemon pepper wings, like once every couple weeks for them to call you lemon pepper, Lou? If your name is not Lou, you've got to eat. If you risk a $200 billion dollar company's entire ear bottom line just to eat some of them. Your name could be Rodrigo and we'd come up with something. Your lemon pepper, Lou. Yeah. It would just be lemon pepper loo. So anyways, because of this, Atlanta, the Hawks, we're going to have this promotional night. Now, here's what I know about it. I'll lay out exactly what I know about it and what I think I know about it. And
Starting point is 00:08:49 then you tell me the rest because you follow more MBA than I do. So they're already is a league called buns and basketball, which I follow on Instagram where it is you know, half-necked chicks out there playing basketball hits for me. Now what it appears to me in my initial reading was
Starting point is 00:09:07 Atlanta was doing this promotional thing with Magic City where they were going to have the lemon pepper wings at the stadium and also were the strippers going to play basketball because that's what I thought when I saw that. Oh, I think
Starting point is 00:09:23 you know more about it than me. Okay. I just thought the NBA had a promotion going, yeah, and I thought they were just going to have the food there. Okay. I just assumed... I assumed brought by the girls. Have you ever been to Classic City Wrestling?
Starting point is 00:09:42 Yes, I have. Actually, no, I've been to Scenic City Wrestling. That's where I hurt my knee forever. Classic City Wrestling is Athens. It's Cole. Our buddy Cole is... That's Cole, yeah, yeah. And they didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:09:53 this year, which don't hit. Really did. I was there. No, I mean, they didn't do it the day that I wanted them to. Oh, they did at New Year's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought they were going to do it again during Heathen's Homecoming, and I looked no further into it.
Starting point is 00:10:09 I was like, yep, it'll be then. Well, they had the Toppers girls there. Hell yeah. And they were selling merch. And that's a cross-promotion. So if it was like that, it was just like merch, and they were there, and they waved at the crowd and all that. Yeah, but...
Starting point is 00:10:26 I can't imagine it was much more than that. Okay, well, my... And the more I'm thinking about it, it probably wouldn't have been food either because of licensing issues. Right, well, okay, we'll see, then my brain was dumb because I was like, oh, they're trying to do a buns and basketball thing.
Starting point is 00:10:38 That hits, that's awesome. Well, so if it's not, but then when, so the reason I'm even bringing this up is because the team pulled the plug on the promotion, and I was like, well, so now I don't understand why they, but they would have pulled the plug on it. I thought somebody was like, yeah, we probably don't need to have strippers out there
Starting point is 00:10:52 clapping their cheeks and hitting Steph Curry 3s. But if they weren't even going to do that, why'd they cancel the promotion? Well, if they were going to have the strippers out there, one of them was going to do the splits and clapper chit. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, which hits. That's what the people want to see. Sure, but I'm saying like, I don't think they were doing a thing where they were planning
Starting point is 00:11:08 on playing buns and basketball, but I would imagine that somebody was like, you know when we bring them out on the floor or when I'm going to clap their cheeks? You have to. Yeah. It's like Hulk has to hulk up. Yeah. You know what I mean? A striper can't not clap her cheeks.
Starting point is 00:11:20 That's how they fly away into the champagne. rain room and leave you. It's like when people get mad at a dog for barking. Right. Or licking his balls or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, dude. It's like that's what dogs do.
Starting point is 00:11:32 What do you expect? What do you expect? Well, shit. Now I was all wrong about it. I thought it was like, you know, again, and I was pretty proud of buns and basketball. I was like, they've really made an impression on the world that, you know, a bigger company is going to steal their idea. I mean, I'm saying I don't think it was that. I did not look into it at all.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Do you want me to? Do you want us to keep talking about it as if we know? Either way. I'm good either way. I'm good. Let's see. Let's see. Right now.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Atlanta. If anyone out there knows anything about home insurance and floodplains, send me at the end. Oh, your house flooded? No. And thank God it's not anything that bad. I'm required to purchase this for a home I am trying to procure. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:20 And I'm just running into a lot of snafus. and there's like moments where I'm like, brother, you're about to throw everything away for a house that's going to get washed away by climate change. And then there's other times where I'm like, no, you're about to get a deal. Right. Everybody's scared.
Starting point is 00:12:36 And scared money don't make money. Scared money. That is so true. Scared money. I told Amber this a million times. And if you're at home, especially if you're younger, listen up,
Starting point is 00:12:45 looking to the camera. Scared money, don't make money. Don't make money. It oftentimes loses a tremendous amount of money. though. Scared money does. I will say that.
Starting point is 00:12:55 But arrogant money makes money, but also oftentimes loses money. Yeah. Yeah. Like I don't really even know where I'm at as far as the, has how I've gone about making money actually made me more than it's lost me. Who knows? Who knows at this point?
Starting point is 00:13:14 Who could even do that math? Yeah. Yeah. Because like I'm a very, you know, you miss 100% of the shots. You don't take top dude. until unless, well, now that I have a baby, it does take me a little bit more money to get off the couch, I guess. But, you know, I've always been scared money don't make money.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Scared money don't make money. If I buy this house, I might put that over the door. You should, yeah. It's a pretty door. The door is a real eye drawer. Where's that? Where's the, what years the house from? What years?
Starting point is 00:13:52 63. It is segregated. Yeah, right. Split level. You get two toilets. Well, it's a split level. So it literally is a very segregated house, which is bothered Andy. And what I mean by that is like it bothers.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Andy? Well, it feels like it's two different houses. That's awesome. It feels like you got a small house here and a small house here. Dude, that's great, though, for relationships. Like I've said, my addict saved our marriage. I didn't say it quite like that. But yeah, you're thinking like your boy was thinking.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I was like, yeah, I don't know how we're going to do with being able to hide from each other. You need that. You need that, dude. And, like, obviously, that comes from a very privileged place. Like, a lot of people can't afford a place that they can have a spot to go hide in. And I totally get that. I do, though. And from previously not having that, I can say, wow, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:44 And she loves it, too. You know what I mean? We've got all sorts of hiding spots in the house where, like... Everyone says people in New York, like, remain single and childlike, till they're 40 because, you know, they're like this or that, but maybe it's, maybe you just saw it. Maybe it's like, no, I keep trying to settle down,
Starting point is 00:15:00 but then I move into a 12 by 12 by 12 box with another human and I think, fuck marriage. Dude, if me and Amber, Amber said this a million times. If we had to get, if we had to sleep on a queen size bed, we would get divorced. Queen size.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I mean, Annie and I have gone through all that. And it's definitely, I can think back to, like some real low lights in the relationship that I've ascribed to various reasonings to, but perhaps it was just, you know, proximity. Dude, like we got a, as soon as we got married is the first time in my life, I was actually doing pretty well, like could just, you know, not a rich guy, but, you know, didn't have to worry about much.
Starting point is 00:15:44 And we sprung for a California king. And oh my God, dude, now when we go to hotels and she's like, if we get a double queen, She's like, well, we're sleeping on two different beds for sure. I was like, well, yeah, duh. First of all, that would have been the case anyways. We have a California King and I still was sleeping in a different room. Yeah. Because I got used to it and then Razzie got used to sleeping with her.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I've just moved back into the bed and he's got a, we call it the big boy bed at the foot of our bed. Yeah. Oh, I love that. It's really cute. That part's awesome. But generally speaking, my quality of life is, yeah, it's, it's, truly just plummeted. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:24 It's not just that I'm sleeping now in a bed with her and a room with him where I was sleeping alone. It's also like I don't have a place to go hide and it's like what we're talking about. And then like be on the phone or whatever. Like it's like, okay, I'm not on right now. It's bad time and it's her turn or whatever the deal is. Like I'm not literally hiding, but like I'm allowed to go be away. Now there's just nowhere to go.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Yeah, you've always had an issue with sleep. And it's funny. because back in the day, I used to, I mean, to your face, and obviously we were just kidding, we would make fun of you for being an old dog or whatever and blah, blah, blah. Because, like, I would constantly go on no sleep and not in a, it wouldn't be a problem. It was like, oh, you pussy.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Well, a combination of, I had, I was, that was just me still having never stopped. So it's easy. Like, if you just never stop, it's whatever. And then COVID, like having to stop. And then also now having a baby and also just getting older. like you are older than me. You know what I mean? And even those few, those couple,
Starting point is 00:17:25 three years really matter in the aging, in the aging process. Now I feel so retroactively bad for you because like when I don't sleep, it's now a problem. It used to not be a problem, but it's now a problem. From what I know about you too,
Starting point is 00:17:42 I think maybe it wasn't a problem too because, yeah, okay, we didn't get much sleep last night, but I'm about to go in this hotel room and sleep till the show. and or I'll go to bed the night and I'll sleep till whenever and like I am a light sleeper right yeah and I'm very heavy sleeper I'm a very like I can't go back to sleep once I get woken up that's my problem right now rosy woke us up about 430 and then Andy got him back to sleep and went back to sleep and then I was just up today so that's where I'm at yeah and yeah dude we've talked about it on here before like how light bulb moment for me when Lee Baines and his whole band stayed at my apartment and they were all sleeping in various corners and nooks and crannies well past 10 a.m. Like on a floor past 10 a.m.
Starting point is 00:18:27 And I realized like, oh, this is a, this is part of the talent you have to have to make it. And thank you for what you said. Trace has something similar when he first started dealing with some anxiety. It was like, Jesus Christ, man. I mean, I knew you said you had it, but it's like a personality changing situation where you're without sleep, anxious on the road. I really also have noticed like when I can get on top of that stuff, I am so much better at my job. Me too.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah. I do wonder like how it might have gone if I could have taken better care of myself. It was, I had to learn. I got better as we went. Yeah. And I learned what worked and didn't work. I mean,
Starting point is 00:19:05 the first thing we had to do was start getting our own rooms. Absolutely. That was a nightmare. That was a nightmare. And I mean, dude, I mean, if you really look back and think about the amount of money we would have saved if we hadn't had done that,
Starting point is 00:19:18 but I still, I would have paid double to still have it. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Well, also, you know. And it's nothing against y'all.
Starting point is 00:19:26 We all love you. We all love each other. Well, yeah, we'd have broke up. I mean, I was rude. I was mean to y'all when y'all woke me up. But I was like insane. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:36 In hindsight. It's like you wake up and we've been drinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would like kind of come to. No, being like,
Starting point is 00:19:41 what the fuck is your problem. And then I'm like, I don't know what I'm mad about it. No, I bet they did it. In hindsight, I don't blame you at all. I really don't because like now if Amber, like Amber will wake me up
Starting point is 00:19:51 and then immediately try to hit me with a Wikipedia's worth of information and I just have to go, hold on the fuck, give me two minutes, you know what I mean? It's like I get it now. Chris Rock. Let me get the dog. Let me take my shoes off.
Starting point is 00:20:07 They won't. But yeah, no, I mean, you're right. And shout out to Trey, by the way, because he did the same thing to me. like he messaged me or we talked or something. He's like, man, I got to tell you, he's like, when you used to have like, you know, panic attacks or anxiety attacks, he's like, I thought it was just you were just like chowing out and blah,
Starting point is 00:20:25 you know, or whatever the fuck. He's like, but that's just, yeah, and which like, the whole time you were doing that, he was just over like, look at this motherfucker. I know, I know. That is funny. But, I mean, it does look like that to the untrained eye. You just really, you forget people out there think Trey's more woke and empathetic than he is.
Starting point is 00:20:42 He's really a piece of shit. And he has to see it happen. happened himself before he will ever... Where is he, by the way? I had no idea you weren't going to be able to be able to be able. Who knows? When did you tell us? I remember last week, I just knew that me and Burns are doing putting on airs together
Starting point is 00:20:57 this week, so I just assumed like, oh, that means Trey's not here this week. Who the hell's Burns? Our producer. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, producer Burns, the man. But I'm obviously kidding about Trey. Even though it is true, until something happens to Trey, he doesn't believe in it. So, anyways, he was...
Starting point is 00:21:14 That's traitor, isn't it? Of course it's true. Of course it's true. The only reason he's so empathetic about gay people and black people is and he's been treated like an outcast for being so weird. He didn't believe in it. Somebody, like one of his friends was like, what's that black guy lying about? And Trey's like, I don't know, dude.
Starting point is 00:21:35 He's saying people ain't treating him right. I think it makes sense to me, dude. Yeah, yeah. And again, Trey didn't believe in like mental illness until he met me and you. No, even then he was like, what's their problem? And then he got one. Right. It had to happen to him first.
Starting point is 00:21:52 And he's like, oh, wow. I mean, to some extent, I guess that's how humans are until it happens to you. I mean, that kind of explains well everything. Dick Cheney. You can convince people that anyone... Right. You can convince it. It's easy, it's seemingly easy to convince a lot of humans that, hey, the thing this person is claiming
Starting point is 00:22:10 that happen, if it didn't happen to you, they're making it up. Right. Generation. That's one of the biggest cross-generational problems. Well, when I was your age, I'd blah, blah, blah. You know, you should be able to. Not.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Go ahead. Well, no, no, you go ahead. No, that's it. Well, I was going to say not to turn this into hugely political. But, like, I really thought when, like, Renee Good and Alex, what was his name? Alex. Paredi.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Alex Paredi, I really thought when they got, when they got shot, I was like, this is not a great thought to have, but I was, but I was thinking, I was like,
Starting point is 00:22:55 now they'll see it as for what it is because two white people got shot. And whenever you see, I mean, and some people did. And some people, like, completely unaware would tweet like,
Starting point is 00:23:09 I think George Floyd deserved, you know, like that could do this list, but this was crazy. Exactly. Yeah, right. There were some people, you're right, I can't say that not all, but there were some people that definitely,
Starting point is 00:23:20 and I think that of the people that went, oh, wow, this really can't happen anybody now it's bad. I think that a decent amount of them may have went a step further and thought, oh my God, I didn't realize the racial bias this played in my life. I'm going to do better. Like, I do think some people genuinely did that, because I believe that happens in this world. Not as many as you'd think, but also so many people
Starting point is 00:23:42 doubled down and was like, well, yeah, well, they're fucking liberals. so that's not even a white person to me. That's, you know what I mean? Like, that's a different kind of thing. So fuck them. And, yeah, but for the most part, like, nothing pisses me. It, like, no matter how you become unhomophobic, obviously it's a good thing.
Starting point is 00:24:02 But it will really piss me off when somebody from my hometown who has been the biggest homophobic in the fucking world, you know, piece of shit, finds out their daughter or their niece or something as a lesbian, and then immediately they're going around, pointing the finger at everybody and I'm like, hold on now, you got at least three years probation before your allyship is void. All right to be righteous.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Now to be, yeah, righteous. It has to be like subservient or what's it subdued. Exactly. It has to be, hey, hey, listen, I understand what you're saying because I felt that way too, but it can't be you motherfucker. You know what I mean? Like you got a couple years before you get to you motherfucker. Because we was saying you motherfucker to you, you know.
Starting point is 00:24:44 and abortions too. Down here, it's the same goddamn thing with abortions. They will be, you're a murder, your murder, your murder, and then somebody in their family will get one, and they go, well, it was complicated. You know, it's a complicated issue. I'm just against it when someone's just doing it just to make their life easier.
Starting point is 00:25:01 It's like, all right, well, first of all, what? Second of all, though, let's break that down. Make their life easier. You're talking about their life, and it's going to be hard. All right, how was your situation more complicated than that? Right. Well, they were trying, their life was going to be hard. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Well, they might die. Yeah. Sounds like a hard life dying. Yep. Wouldn't hit. Yeah, man. Coward. Well, this is as good a time of any to throw it to our sponsor.
Starting point is 00:25:30 And we will be right back right after this. Y'all, it ain't no secret. I'm getting old. We all getting old. Like, I feel like I pretty much hit, I don't know, round 38. and now all of a sudden, like, I'm doing the same stuff I used to do in the gym, but I'm not really getting the same, you know, like results and like the diet that I used to be on. I'm on that same diet.
Starting point is 00:25:53 And now I give fat instead of staying kind of where I was. My energy's been crashing. And, of course, I went down the internet rabbit hole trying to figure out what was wrong. And every single time, it, you know, even though it looked like I was a hypochondriac, it kept coming back as like, you might just have love tea. and look, doctors act like TRT is no big deal, just weekly shots for the rest of your life. Cool, but then you dig deeper and you realize like what you're actually signing up for, and it's three grand a year to shut down your body's natural production forever, and that's terrifying, right?

Starting point is 00:32:16 We're back. Welcome back, everyone, to the Well-Red podcast. My name is Drew Morgan. Welcome to NPR. Joined by his formidable, I would say, host, Corey Ryan Forster, formidable, you know, I can get the job done when I need to. Ain't that right, Drew?
Starting point is 00:32:35 Not without my coffee first. Usually when I employ three-syllable words, I try to be respectful of both my audience and the subject to which I am applying these terms, whether that be subjectively or objectively. But I can say pretty confidently that you are formidable. Thank you. And we do need to be mindful
Starting point is 00:32:57 because words over three syllables are classist. Often they have Latin root words, and we try to keep it the Germanic so that our audience is not alienated. Excuse me, Gary. I think they are Latin X root words, and I think it's also important to point out that some people say formidable,
Starting point is 00:33:14 and that's okay. Excellent. Latin X, whatever happened to that? I think they broke up after the first tour. That's not good. Riky Martin came out, and they weren't together anymore? No good. No good.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Are you familiar with the work of Chris Fleming? Yes, and I could not be more of a fan. I could not be more. That weird motherfucker. A fan for a while. Me and Andy have been sharing his shit for two years. Okay. That's probably around the time I called on to him.
Starting point is 00:33:46 It was probably because you shared something with me. But like this guy is like, I can't, I don't even want it. It's cliche to say like Andy Kaufman or whatever because he is different. He's different. But he's so different, but it's still in that vein. I think we put people in the Andy Kaufman bucket when we go, well, there's just no one else doing that, you know. Yeah, I think it's a little like it's almost Bowie-esque.
Starting point is 00:34:11 And I don't mean, I just mean in the sense where you're going, oh, this is a different thing. Yeah. The lens through which they're bringing it to me is this. Anyway, two things. one, his NPR Adam Driver bit is genuinely incredible. I don't think I've ever seen it. Physical comedy.
Starting point is 00:34:32 He's got a new special on HBO. He watched it. Two, anyone who's seen the special is going to think I'm doing a meta thing because he has this really great bit about DM and Lynn Manuel Miranda accidentally. He shared that on his Instagram or something. Right. So this is going to sound like I'm trying to, but I'm not.
Starting point is 00:34:50 This just is what happened. Razzie, unbelievable. We're watching it. He just gets up and starts marching around the room mimicking Chris Fleming. He's stomping funny. And then he would point at the TV and then do it again. That's great.
Starting point is 00:35:08 hilarious. I get my phone out. We try to get him to do it again. He does it not as well as he did it the first time, which is relevant to the story. I'll get there in a minute. He has face in it a little bit. I don't post my kid's face. I get very weird about AI and what they do with it.
Starting point is 00:35:26 and how gross people get with your kids face. Also, just the comments, dude, are stupid. But I put it on my story, and I think I even wrote, breaking my don't post child's face rule for this Chris Fleming impression that Rosie launched on his own. Put it out. Chris never saw it.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Whatever. I'm on Facebook today. And, you know, like, I don't know about you, but I have my Facebook and my Facebook page, and on my Facebook, it'll send me alerts for my Facebook page. And someone from my past had commented on something from my page. Someone from my past. It's just like something in a while.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Maybe I'm thinking about Chris Fleming, so I'm making it sound a lot more, you know, Dickens. Charles Dickens. I just love that. Someone from my past. That implies like, dislike. I'm leaving out their name. No, well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:20 It also, to me, as a story listener, implies, you know, I was a different man. You know, someone from my past, the before times. Man, I hadn't thought about, I hadn't heard that name in 30 years. Yeah, since. That was back before I did a bid upstate. I ain't seen you since weak pennies, boy. How's your mama still got that scar.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I left that bitch. She deserved it. No, they took that part of the leg. Sorry, I know, budded. Anyway, someone that I haven't thought about in a while commented, I had to go over to my page to find it, because you click on it and it says, do you want to switch to Drew Morgan?
Starting point is 00:37:08 Because right now you're, so anyway. I'm over-explaining. I'm making the story suck. I'm on Facebook, and I go to my unread stuff trying to find it, and there's a message from Chris Fleming. No shit. Oh, my God, I'm so honored. That's great.
Starting point is 00:37:23 And I was like, oh, I guess. It makes sense. He, to quote him, looks like a 57-year-old lesbian. Like, he's on Facebook. And I respond something like he was genuinely very good. You should have seen the first take or whatever, right? And then like 20 minutes later, I'm on Instagram. And when you reply, it puts them back up to the top messages.
Starting point is 00:37:50 And my reply is now on Instagram, because, you know, they're connected through meta. Yeah. And I realize when I click on it that Chris Fleming sent me that message, immediately deleted it for some reason, decided I didn't hit for him or whatever, made it go back to unread, because Instagram says Steam, but Facebook failed him and let me know that he had sent me a message.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I replied on Facebook like a boomer, like a Gen Xer who's super pissed that kids don't want to make their own rock, music in the garage anymore. Mark! I'm over here marking out. Just looking at my fucking cop tattoos. Like a disgruntled dab responding on Facebook to a deleted message. I deleted my message.
Starting point is 00:38:44 I have no idea if he saw it. If he did, he might be wise enough to figure out what happened. Or he might think, this dude waited 10 days and then was just like, by the way, it was good. I know you're ignoring my messages about my son, but just so you know it's good. And then I click on his story because now the algorithm has brought him into my feet again. Like, oh, you're interacting with this dude. Look what he's.
Starting point is 00:39:08 And he's sharing people sharing things about his special. Okay. Drew, didn't you say it was a story? So what if he didn't deleted it? They go away like Kate Beckinsale reposted a bunch of minds. stories and but when you go just look at it now there's nothing there because my story disappeared the reply would still be there oh okay i was trying to be you think i wasn't checking it every 20 minutes to be of chris fleming how it's father we're not to the best part we're not to
Starting point is 00:39:43 the best part oh god so this happened i'm hella embarrassed chris fleming saw my son mimicking him thought it was worth replying to pull back after he learned something about me and i'm feeling shitty about whatever that is my son was good enough for him i guess but maybe i wasn't and then i get on a story today and do you know what he shared someone posting the same thing but it's a bird their fucking parakeet is mimicking chris fleming and that's good enough to go on maine but my son's not? Maybe it was, hold on, hold on, hold on. Maybe it was because he then went back in red where you said breaking the not sharing my
Starting point is 00:40:29 kid's face on. I'm not talking about I'm upset. He didn't put on his story. He literally deleted the message, Corey. Chris Fleming, if you're listening to this or if anyone has his ear, we do need answers as to why. A good friend of mine opens for him. I am going to tell her about this next time I see her in person.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Well, you do need to get to the bottom of it because. it is one of those things for like, obviously, worst case scenario and you don't want to hear it is they go, yeah, Chris then looked at Drew's page and Drew otherwise just don't hit for him. But at least you'd have closure.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Why don't hit for David Broly of comedy? Exactly, but you won't closure. I would rather get, I genuinely would rather have them say, oh, I did it because you don't hit for me, then to never hear from him again in my life and just fester and wonder. The worst case scenario is if he was like, honestly your son's impression was mid
Starting point is 00:41:22 and then I saw your page and I was like this is where he gets it from that would make me and I saw some of your pictures and the comments it's clear you're gay baiting I'm not into that you're an old loser no one likes to you aren't cool enough to hang out with Bob Seeger
Starting point is 00:41:42 signed your favorite white comedian maybe of all time well Maria Bantford it's probably Burr Bampford in some order Fleming. That's how high I have this guy. Yeah. Well, that was fucking beautiful. And Facebook, get on it.
Starting point is 00:42:07 That should not, neither, Chris nor myself deserved that. Okay. He clearly decided he didn't want me to see that message. I would have been none the wiser. I could have gone on living my life thinking, Chris Fleming doesn't check his message request because he doesn't follow me yet, because he has not been presented with my brilliance.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Right. So I actually have a similar story, similar in the sense of its Instagram stories. So, like, I don't know, five or six days ago, I checked my Instagram messages for the first time in a while, just scrolled to see if I had anything new. And I had like six messages from Kate Beckinsale, right? Now, this part didn't surprise me because she had shared my videos in the past, like the past past, like two and three years ago.
Starting point is 00:43:00 So I knew she followed me and stuff. So don't even wrong, it's still like, holy shit, Kate Beckinsale has messaged me, but I was like, there was context for it. I go to check and it was what it was was she had shared six of my stories. They had since gone away, so I don't know which ones they were, but they apparently hit for her, right? And I was like, right on. So I was like, I wonder what Kate's up to, like what are new projects are. You know what I mean? I click, I go Kate Beck and Sell, Google.
Starting point is 00:43:28 And it's like, fans concerned about Kate Beckinsell's health after erratic social media posting. And I look at the date and it corresponds exactly to when she was sharing my stories. And they were like, her friends became concerned because she was sharing, she was just sharing a wide array of things on her stories. Right. and I'm sitting there like, was some of it mine? I mean, I know some of it was mine, but was mine the one that they're filing under concerning? And if not, like, am I going to be in a, not a deposition,
Starting point is 00:44:00 but like, if she ends up killing herself, are they going to go, it might have been this one? And it's fucking me. It's funny either way. It is funny. It's funny if her fans were like, what the hell? Look at her sharing this idiot. I think she might be about to kill herself.
Starting point is 00:44:15 But what's way more likely is that didn't happen, because it doesn't make sense, but it's still hilarious that she was like firing off memes about how sometimes when she looks at the moon, she wonders if it's worth going on, and then you next, and then back to the moon and how the ocean makes her feel small. Like, that is so,
Starting point is 00:44:36 that's honestly funnier to me. If she's like, sometimes I wonder what the point of all this is, and if I'm ever going to feel like myself again, and then the very next clip is just like you being like an old maga man, You know what I think, God damn it. Pretty good either way. It really is pretty good either way.
Starting point is 00:44:57 But it's just nice to be included even, what's the word when you're just around it? Peripherally. It's just nice to be included peripherally in a celebrity's mental breakdown. Speaking of which, Brittany got a DUI. We are so back. Bro. She did get a DUI. Think about this.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Jinko Genie. Creed. Oh, I've been, I did a bit about it. You did talking about it. Jinko Jeans Creed. Let's say. The R word. The R word, Kid Rock being in the news way more often.
Starting point is 00:45:34 We're going into War of the Middle East on some bullshit. War in the Middle East. All of that. Transition lenses are coming back. Yeah. I'm hoping so because I have some. Cocaine is so, dude. And fentanyl is.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Basically heroin. Yes, and Britney Spears got a DUI. We could not be more back to... We're still that. We need a terrible. I bet we get a country song about race relations soon. We're overdue. We're way overdue.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Overdo it. Man, like, do you think, as far as butterfly flaps their wings that the passing of Toby Keith sped up the invasion of Iran? Like, it was going to happen anyways, but do you think it happened a little quicker because Toby died? If anything, I'd say it's the opposite. Right. It's like, you know, well, I guess if they imagine him out there in heaven watching.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Yeah, it's like, we got to get over there for Toby. Yeah, but I'm just thinking like if he was here, I think he would only speed things up. You know, it's wild thinking about that whole situation because like now his family is the beneficiary of his royalties exclusively, the beneficiary. of his royalties. And don't get me wrong, his royalties in any particular time are going to be great for a while because, again, I don't care what anybody says, Toby Keith put out some fucking bangers and was, except for a couple things, awesome to my ears, like country music-wise, had some good songs. But like, a couple of his songs definitely get played more when national tragedies happen. So, like, being in that situation and being his,
Starting point is 00:47:16 kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, they, they wake up and they see that we're heading to war with Iran. Before their actual morals kick in, their natural, to be like, who, like, it has to be there a little bit. You know what I mean? I believe that. We find out Mossad or the CIA bought Toby Key's catalog years ago. That.
Starting point is 00:47:38 They just keep bombing. It's like, damn, man, we're out of money. We can't do these drug wars anymore. But like. I got an idea. bomb the Middle East and skew up Toby. Right. Give me in every Waffle House
Starting point is 00:47:50 south of the Mason Dixon on the jukebox, stat. A dude like Lee Greenwood has no actual incentive for the world to be peaceful and America to be at peace and happy. He has no incentive for that because his song gets played more as sort of a counter-protest. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:48:09 I'm sure when that song came out in the 80s, Reagan times, I don't even know what he was talking. talking about then. Fucking Vietnam was I ran contra. Who fucking knows? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:48:20 dude, the only way Kevin Sorbo gets apart is when George Clooney starts talking about how the Republican Party's stupid. Correct. Like,
Starting point is 00:48:31 if Mark Ruffalo would keep his mouth shut, and I'm not saying he should, but if he would, I do think Angelina Jolie's daddy would be out of parts. He also might be dead. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:48:43 no, he's not dead. and he's, obviously he's not in a lot of great things now, but like John Voight, another great fucking actor. Amazing actor, you know, terrible things that he thinks. But that was my point. Like about Toby, like there has to be that like, oh, oh shit, you know, the dowels down.
Starting point is 00:49:04 They're about to start playing fucking red, white and blue, or whatever the fuck. And that's a weird spot to be in to like know for a fact that war, you don't even work for Raytheon, but war makes you more money because they're going to play your daddy's song a whole lot more on major networks.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Yeah, man. I mean, dude, what about them old boys that me? We just talking about, you might not have been here that week. Me and Treves talking about Andy being pissed that she couldn't find a
Starting point is 00:49:34 murder the pedophiles shirt that wasn't in a Republican font. What's a Republican font? You know, like these colors don't bleed font. Oh, yeah, yeah, underarmor fonts. Yeah, or the Eat, Pray, Lovey font. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:49 There's like a real Republican-style shirt out there. Yeah. The best one, the best parody or somebody making fun of it I ever saw was like the one that was like, you know, during the Colin Kaepernick heyday, it was something like. The only time I kneel was to suck a shoulder's dick. Yeah, so goddamn funny. And they put it in the font that I'm talking about on purpose. For the bit. Yeah, for the bit.
Starting point is 00:50:14 It has to be. Andy was, like, complaining to me, like, I can't even find a murder your local pedophile shirt that ain't in a goddamn Republican font, right? Well, tell her that I was about to say is, those guys, they're not selling any of them shirts no more. I bet they've shifted to these colors don't run, no, son. I bet we're about to have a slew of monster energy drink-looking motherfuckers out here in some new grunt core. Iran question mark well you should have bitch something like that that's a good one we need to you know I've got the I've got the website we could go we could just go ahead and start selling
Starting point is 00:50:50 them right now and then I ran not far enough buddy not far yeah right these down I've got the infrastructure set up spring break Tehran yeah yeah and she's got rocket pits yeah what about what about instead of no fear it says no queers uh I think that we're past that one literally in for the moment. Even for them. Yeah, yeah, you're right. But maybe. Yeah. That's not a, that's a soft no.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Right, I hear you. That's fine. Which is something they don't respect. They don't know at all. Dude, you know what I was thinking the other day? How badly it, Lori Morgan was going through it to release the song, what part of no, don't you understand? Like, when I heard that song as a kid, I was obviously, this is real catchy tune, but like listening to it now and knowing what that woman
Starting point is 00:51:38 went through, even though it's an upbeat, major key played song. That is a tragic song. Anyways, I'm sorry, go ahead. No, I don't have, I don't know if I have anything else to add. What were we talking about? We were talking about making t-shirts at Delta Maggats. And we had come up with Spring Break, Tehran.
Starting point is 00:51:57 I mean, they're all brutal. Like, if anyone isolates just as part of the clip, I come across real bad right now. I don't care. I won't, I won't isolate it. No, we blew up at school. Yeah. We have committed some of the most atrocious war crimes. openly, openly, that we've ever committed as a country.
Starting point is 00:52:16 That is the thing that is so... We've been doing it clandestinely until recently. Right. I was about to say, like, we all know, like, okay, so used to whenever, like, they would... By the way, let me go ahead and say, I'm never for war crimes. War crimes, I would add that to 9-11, genocide. Our war crimes are genocide sometimes, so those are the same thing. I was just to say, you're just listed war crimes.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah, that's, yeah. But like, I'm just that, you know, our list of things that don't hit are basically all war crimes. So they don't hit for me. But used to, like,
Starting point is 00:52:51 yeah, you knew that they happened clandestinely and in the middle of the night and they were classified and you could never really prove it or whatever. So whenever somebody would talk about like a president committing war crimes to be like, well,
Starting point is 00:53:02 you know, you can't, this president was better because this one committed a war crime. And I'd always be like, bro, I'm pretty sure that you kind of have to commit war crimes to be the president or at least like if all the data
Starting point is 00:53:14 suggested because they all have you know what I mean and I'm not saying but I was like at least they had the fucking courtesy to not show it on Twitter on purpose God damn like at least tell me I'm pretty if you're fucking me in the ass. Exactly
Starting point is 00:53:30 like Jesus Christ Epstein files war crimes the way that they're just like telling the UN to go fuck themselves yeah there's a speech you might have seen it. We might have talked about it. By the way, we got to keep talking about it. Like, no one's talking about it anymore. We got to keep talking about it. That's true. That is true.
Starting point is 00:53:48 There's this speech, the Canadian Prime Minister, I think, it was his title gave recently, and he was getting like accolades for it, but I, and a lot of people, I'm not the only one who thought this was like, what the fuck are we sucking this dude's dick for? He's saying a very evil thing.
Starting point is 00:54:02 But he was basically doing a warning speech at, I don't know if it was Davos or Axe, you know, some big gathering of powerful dickheads, right? And he was basically, he was talking about Greenland. That was what was in the news at that time. We hadn't started this Iran stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Iran, excuse me. And he was like, this dude's off the rails. And it was the whole, the tenor of it was like, we used to live in a society. No, we didn't. But he very openly, explicitly was stating things like, look, we've all always known how far-reaching and evil this empire is. He literally said... He meant like the Iranian empire.
Starting point is 00:54:44 He literally said he meant the West. He would literally say things like... Maybe I'm paraphrasing, but like he generally expressed this sentiment. Not like secretly. The sentiment was, we would turn our head the other way to a certain extent because America kept the lanes of commerce open and some level of decorum
Starting point is 00:55:11 so that we could all do business. And he was literally saying, four years, with our help, America has done atrocious, awful things to the global South and Africa and his,
Starting point is 00:55:27 I guess China's probably doing most of them. But we got paid. But we all got paid. Whatever. We all had each other's back. There was a certain, and now he's not even honoring our blood oath. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:55:43 Wow. Yeah. And the way he phrased it, very politician, everyone's like, yeah, dude, see, fucking Trump's crazy. Fuck Trump. And I'm like, yo, this dude is evil. Right. And in some extent, it is, it is reminiscent of what a lot of early mega heads said they loved about it. Yeah, he's saying, speaking his mind, saying,
Starting point is 00:56:07 saying what's up and yeah. People do like that. He at least. He at least doesn't lie about it. Right. Everyone like that. Yeah. It's just the only people that seem to do it
Starting point is 00:56:19 are saying the worst fucking things on earth. Like I would kill if, you know, Elizabeth Warren would stop saying unconscionable so much and just speak like a human being and just kind of be loose and untuck or collar. That's great. But like it does happen to just be. The ones that tell it like it is are telling the worst things possible. I would feel too.
Starting point is 00:56:39 I think that they've given the chance. Yeah, you're right. But I think I had led us accidentally into the weeds a little. I'm not just saying that Trump's like being blunt. He is seemingly incapable to keep their grift up. Right. He's like, like Gaza, he'll just be like, we just had a meeting, $50 trillion worth it.
Starting point is 00:57:05 And they're like, you can see him looking around like, you're not supposed to fucking say that. I'm supposed to say we had a meeting and we've been talking about the future of this place and progress. And, you know, I do understand why stupid people think that's a virtue. Right, because they're like, say, he doesn't care what he's told to say. He just says what he wants to say. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:24 But there is. But I don't, I don't ascribe a virtuousness to Marco Rubio on his side going, you know, sliding him notes, stop saying that shit. That's not virtuous either. It's just all evil all the way down. It is like, there is a scenario in which case I would go, okay, Mr. President, I'm not saying lie, but there is a little thing called national security.
Starting point is 00:57:49 And as a head coach wouldn't get on a bullhorn until the defense, the offensive play they're running. But at the same time, yes, but at the same time, this is all kind of moot, right? Historically. Right. Right. Like, genocide.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Epstein, the stuff going on in Minnesota, and now potentially World War III with Iran, and Israel's involvement in honestly all those, I can draw a direct connection to Israel for every one of those. The hardest one for some people might be like, what's Israel got to do with Minnesota? ISIS training tactics and all their gear for the most part came from Israeli defense forces. But aside from that, if you win this time period of history is look back on, I don't think anyone's to be like it's crazy how Trump was unable to like wear the mat it's like no dude this is
Starting point is 00:58:42 I've said it on here before I said it as loud as I could when Trey had me on weekly skews we're on stage like nine and people are like scared because they're like we're on stage three this is scary and it's like no bro this is
Starting point is 00:58:59 beyond scary we're looking we're facing the balkanization of America if not a war on our own fucking soil. Yeah. And, bro, and you can ten full have me. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Everyone listening. They're going to either cause or allow something to happen on our own soil in order to escalate and justify what they've already started. 100%. 9-11 times two electric bugaloo. It's coming. So much worse, though, too, because that, well, maybe not. This is no, they're going to cyber attack is what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:59:32 They're going to make us panic in a more isolated way because they have the technology to do that now. And, dude, Elon Musk tweeted the other days, like, by the way, if this country, if it comes to us having a draft, we have the technology to where you can't drive your Tesla out of the country.
Starting point is 00:59:49 I thought that was so funny when I saw that, because my first thought was like, yeah, dude, a lot of real winners and war fighters leaving the country in a Tesla right now. Like, I just imagined explaining that to my nephew who is gung-ho about America.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Right. And be like, hey, man, you think that's good? And he's going to be like, you think I want to fight a war with a bunch of Tesla driving turncoats, you know? And you know what? That's another thing that really, really bothers me. I mean, I'd like to say just as a person, but maybe it is because I'm a father. I mean, my son's only three, but I mean, he'll be 18 before I know it.
Starting point is 01:00:28 You know, I had a lot of buddies after 9-11 that really felt the call, like they had to go or whatever. in their defense we as a public didn't know exactly how much bullshit it was going into it so like yeah dude I was ready to go so it is right but it is different now but at the same time
Starting point is 01:00:45 these are 18 year olds do not have the frontal lobe cortex like what I'm saying is now it would be easy for me to go like well dude if you sign up and go now you're just a fucking idiot but 18 year old's brain just is wars happening I got to protect my country and like
Starting point is 01:01:02 just the fact that we're about to do that again. By the way, we're going to do that again to another group of our citizens. We're going to give them PTSD and bring them back home and then not give them a job and step over them from their homeless. But we are also about to create another ISIS, Hamas, Taliban, whatever. Every 20, it's like the ISIS got, you know, the Al-Qaeda got old, so we had to bring ISIS in, you know, the ISIS was the Taliban's kids. And we just regenerate it with them. And it's just second verse same as the first every 20, 25 years. And fuck, man.
Starting point is 01:01:40 Like for nothing. I will say this. I mean, I think a lot of them are cynical enough because of the world they were born into and grew up into like, I mean, apparently, I don't know if it's true. I read that like at training camp right now and like they're all getting ready to go. I've got a buddy who's about to go to Kuwait. The captains are getting really frustrated because the kids, the young cadets, keep saying things. like for God, for country for Epstein. Like, because like they know they're, they feel like they're being sent to die because of that.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Yeah. Or they'll say like something about Israel, you know. This is like, this is like their Vietnam War. Like those dudes were hip to it during year two. Yeah. Yeah. They're hip to it for sure. And they're going to do it because like, I mean.
Starting point is 01:02:27 The other thing, oh, I remember the other thing I wanted to say. I just wanted to make this point. I should have made this one first because the other one was more fun. but I just want to say this. Just as one example, Hamas is a, according to what we're told, and I'm not saying this isn't true,
Starting point is 01:02:43 a terrorist organization with deep pockets, a lust for blood that is unquenchable, and a hatred for Jews that cannot be matched. And they have never attacked Israel, even though they're supposedly in every country next door to it. Come on, dog.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Come on, dog. Come on, dog. All right, well, I got to go, dude. I got to go try to get a loan. Well, where you mean, that fucking sucks. Well, tell people how they can help you pay for it. Yeah, I'll be in Denver. I'll be in New Orleans, March 19th, 20th, 21st.
