You asked the question, my fucker. I'm telling you what I'm talking about. Yeah, you didn't answer it. I'm trying to answer it. I'm trying to answer it. I'm trying to answer it. I'm saying at a certain left, if you're just a fucking nobody band, there's no way they make you pay.

It wouldn't work. You could fucking, like, bands don't have nothing. Right. But if you're a girl called. I know the actual answer. Okay. That's what I'm saying. They're the hero rednecks.

They like cornbread, but sex they care way too much, but don't give a fuck. They're the next that makes some people upset. They got three big old dicks that you can sun. I'm just curious. Is that just a chicken thigh that you just did on your own? You was just like, today it's chicken thighs? Last night it was chicken thighs. Right.

Yeah. What? I mean, you pick stuff and you cook it. No, you do. It works. No, you do. In my brain, it was just you were making a snack right before the podcast, and you were off by like 10 minutes, and you're like, oh, shit.

So you're just still. sitting there eating your chicken thigh. Like a chicken thigh would be a funny pre-snack thing to me, which is why I thought that's what you'd do. Everything about that is accurate, except it's not a snack. It's lunch. Right.

Lunch. Which lunch is usually left over. This is also, that's left over. Tighter Tot hot dish. Yeah. Minnesota. You ever fuck with that?

Oh, yeah. Do I ever because they do it in Iowa, too. You know, a lot of the cultural, advances they've made up in Minnesota, made their way down to Iowa, especially when it comes to the mayonnaise-based salads. Yeah, I believe that. But yeah, I've always liked casserole's, you know.

Oh, boy. Mush. But tater tots, it's just, you know, just a casserole, they put tater tots on top of. It don't. And I think most of Minnesota's. I do, too. I don't know.

I don't know if I'm going to say that. Well, because, I think most Minnesota, would agree with this. You know, obviously they don't heat up well unless you're going to put it in an air fry or something because of the starches. To crisp the tots back up. And ain't nobody got time for that. I mean,

people do. I reheat my McDonald's fries. I put beef tallow in my cast iron skill. Fries, I won't even fucking touch leftover fries unless they've been in the air fryer. Yeah, you let me do it, boy. They'll be better when you got them motherfuckers. That's the only way.

to bring them back to life. Hello, Drew. You guys talking about being fat? You're saying that whilst eating the chicken. It was tremendous. I forgot you were there. I mean, that is. I know people eating on the show.

I know that. But I'm sorry. click record too soon and it hit for me. That is sort of what I was going for, what you just did, but not, I had that exact line in my head. And you really nailed it. You really nailed it and it hit for me.

It's so good too, because last week, Corey, he spent way more minutes than I intended. It was like a throwaway thing for me, arguing me when I was like, he was like, Corey's not here. Here's a 17 minute explanation as to why. and a whole treatise on what he's doing and why. And I was like,

y'all don't even acknowledge me and my existence when I'm not on this. He was like, yeah, we do. Yeah, we do. We do it all the time. We do a bit. I'm like, you've done one bit. I missed like nine episodes in the last year. Well, maybe that's why it's so rare for me to miss,

but you miss all the time. We can't keep coming up with convincing backstory. Yeah, everyone listening right now is shaking their head in agreement with that. there. So, um, that I used to have a joke about sex without condoms versus with condoms that it's like you spent your whole life only eating leftover french fries.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. And then you have a real one and you're like, Jesus Christ. And then Tom Seguer did the same joke, but with melted cheese. Yep, yep, yep. And I was like, I actually like mine better. His is definitely like more palatable to the world. Like, I feel like mine's like, what?

Oh, french fries. Whereas the cheese, everyone's like, yeah. It also looks like always going to cheese. Anyway, I'm with you. It does. I did want to mention that I did not listen to last week's podcast, but my buddy, Professor Kelvin, down at the University of Arkansas,

who is an avid skee universe member, mentioned to me the next day. He goes, man, he goes, they went in on your ass on the podcast this week. And I was like, really? It goes, yeah, and I felt so weird because, like, I was a part of it or whatever. He's like, they mentioned that you probably wouldn't listen to it.

And I was like, I didn't. He's like, yeah, I didn't figure you would. But yeah, kudos to y'all. Y'all made, it hit for him real hard. He told me, he said they was getting your ass good. We was. There's a, you know, we could talk about war or whatever if you want to, but I had a thing happened to me this morning that like,

it's kind of blown my mind sort of deal. And it's, so we all know what the Mandela effect is, right? So one day there's going to be people who swear it was, called a different type of effect, by the way. I thought it was the Bernstein Bears. I don't think effect for like a while. I could see why because to me that was the first iteration of it I was ever aware of. But it was already called.

Anyway, whatever. The Mandela one itself, and I know it's true for you, Drew, because you literally met the man. But that one never applied to me. I never had that one. The only ones that I, the only two that I ever really had, I had the Barrenstein Bears hardcore.

Like when I first heard, that, I was like, no, no, that's no, that's not true. You know, and you see all this like evidence to the contrary and you just refuse to believe it, which is the whole point of the phenomenon. And then also the cornucopia and the fruit of the loom stuff was the other got me. This morning, and I didn't see this presented as a Mandela effect. And also, this is part, this is kind of what they're going for. Anyway, South Park, it's been on since we were middle schoolers. The black kid in South Park, his name is what?

But token. T-O-K-E-N. I always, I knew, I knew that it was token and that was the joke. But I always, and I'm so certain right now that for 25 years I have known, and I'm doing air quotes, known in my head, they're like, yeah, the joke is that he's the token black guy. And his name is token, token, but it's spelled T-O-L-K-I-E. His name is Tolkien, right? But they pronounce it, token. token. And that's part of the joke. That's part of why it's funny. And that's a thing that in my head I've known forever since like I was watching South Park in high school.

I read this morning that that is, that is the case. But they didn't change the spelling of his name to Tolkien until 22. and when they did, and this is classic Trey and Matt shit, when they did, yeah, they did a whole episode about it, but they also went back through every available iteration of South Park Media that exists anywhere and changed it to Tolkien, right? To purport. That's black mirror shit. But their gaslighting was like, them being like, no, it's always been Tolkien. And people being like, no, no, no has it.

And they're like, go check. It's always been Tolkien, right? That was like part of the joke to them. Right. But I'm the end, I read that and I was like, what an expensive bet. And again, it's just classic them.

And that all hits for me. But when I first read that it was token at first and they changed it to Tolkien. And in my head, I was like, right, I was like, but they had, they changed that super early on because I know that I've known his name

was Tolkien since, like I said, 2004 or something. So that happened a long time ago. And then I Googled it and it didn't happen until 2022. And dude, I haven't watched. South Park since 2022 or whatever.

I was about to say I'm a little biased on this one because I remember that episode. Like I'm still, I'm not like I have to sit down all the time, but I peek in and have through the years. So it's probably thrown me, but I do believe that I was in your camp. Okay. When I asked you,

you spelled it the old way, though. Oh, then maybe I, yeah, you're right. I've just gas lit myself. Here's what I think. I think that this story that you're telling, is them gaslighting us about gaslighting us.

Okay. Go on. I don't follow. It did not. There's no way it happened in 2022. So they did all that. And then they're like, and then in 2022, and it's like, that's not true either. They've changed that somehow. It was always that. But people always thought it was token and they said that they went back and changed it all, but it had already been that. But they didn't. They did change nothing. They did change it and they got caught.

This is Anderson. They changed it. And they went back and changed it. changed it in the media. Everything you said they did. But they did that in like 2015. Uh-huh. And then when they got caught or someone called them on it, they were like, yeah, we did do that in 2022. I mean, I don't know. They just stay fucking. I love it. You never know those with those one of the fuckers. Yeah. But they have contributed to so much, such a percentage of the joy in my life, those two fellas. And this is one of them. That's delightful. And I don't think, I know it's not literally just me because I've, course saw this all on Reddit and in the comment sections there were some other people that

were being like what are you talking about his name's always been to Tolkien but just pronounced token and there were other people saying that and then people being like no dude no you know with links look they did it in 2022 or whatever and it just made me feel insane that's the first time i've had a like mandela effect thing sort of like unfold for me like person the first time i've ever had it happen not in the context of being told this is a mandela effect thing do you know what I mean and then that is such high art but anyway, fucking wild

I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that. Did you see that episode of No. Did you see that episode of Black Mirror? No, no, no, I'm asking a separate thing. There's this episode of Black Mirror where this lady feels like she's getting gaslit because they keep calling her a different thing

or whatever and it made but what they did was they actually changed which name it was in random broadcast So like me and my sister didn't see. We saw the reverse one. So when we would go to talk about it, I would be like, no, no, no.

Her actual name was Katrina. She's like, no, that's what they wanted you. So they sort of did it as like a, you know, experience. I remember that episode. Did I make that up? Did you look it up to make sure you didn't make it up? Oh, no. It was then sent to me as that they had done,

like Netflix put out like a press release about it. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it was a thing. It's funny if just one of you was wrong And then y'all were like, I guess they did that on purpose. Bro, it is possible I dreamed that whole. I know that this one's true, but like, oddly specific kind of plausible things happen to me in dreams all the time.

And it just locks into my brain like, yeah, that was wild, wasn't it? You know what I mean? And then I'll think about it. I'm like, I don't, that was a woolly mammoth there, though. So that probably didn't happen. There's something, I think they've, Trey, you probably know this, whether or not. It used to be a theory that dreams were associated with DMT being pushed into your frontal lobe or whatever that your body naturally produces. I think they have confirmed that regardless.

It has to be right. Regardless, the thing about DMT and mushrooms is that I think that fucks with people, especially people who are susceptible to it, whether they have mental illness or they're dumb, or they just were raised to believe in stuff. scrapping me down. Or they're raised to believe in stuff. It's like, it feels so real. And I don't mean like you see a man like a little smurf talking and you're like

that smurf's real. It's more like, but the thing the smurf said, man, was the truest thing I've ever heard in my life. Like, like I had this thing that like yeah, I know the smurf guy wasn't real but my subconscious has told me a very deep truth about myself. That's why I think dreams

like be doing that. You're there. And you're like, bro. Damn. Have some fucking Lutely. Five points to Drew. This is the new format on the show.

And I'm Max. Five points to Drew. Fantastic. Agree 100%. I think that a lot of times, without a doubt, dreams do reflect stuff that's going on in your head. I do think that sometimes it's just wild shit. But like last night, I had a dream that I was,

I'd been casting a bit part of some big Hollywood. movie that had that both Hemsworth, the two Hemsworth brothers in it, Chris and Liam. Well, there's three. That's the main ones. Chris and. There's actually, I think there's four, which is

fun. But anyway, but the two main ones, Chris and Liam, and the whole dream was about me like awkwardly trying to make small talk with these two Adonis who are like one and two on the call sheet or whatever

and just feeling like very out place and like i'm going to be fired at any moment or like just imposter syndrome the dream or whatever like type of thing and you don't have to you ain't got to be sigman floyd to figure out you know what that one's about but i had another one and i guess this could mean something too well it's funny too because it's your dream i got one after this by the dream and your nightmare coming true in your dream that's how yeah hooked up that one for you like it's like i really really really want to get cast and also i am so worried constantly about having to talk to people people who are important and or make awkward small talk.

Yes, yes, all of that. But I had another dream the other day, and I don't remember any specific because it was too wild, but it was, I was going to bring this up anyway because you were talking about DMT. And it was like love crafty and shit, not like tentacle monsters, but like reality was rending into pieces. Like it was about the apocalypse, but in a way where it was like the fabric of reality was tearing itself apart type shit. Oh, yeah.

Like it was fucking really wild. That's my shit. it dude tell me more i don't i can't did you learn anything there was like things were you know geometric shapes and fractals and all that type of wild it was very it felt like i was on like a it was a dream that felt like i was uh on fucking in a khole or something basically and i woke up and it faded like super fast and all i can remember is that description of it i can't remember any of the specifics which ironically enough is exactly how my actual khole experience went as well so you want to hear mine I had to dream the other day.

Oh, I don't know you're going to hear your dream. I just, I just want you to define mine the way that you define Trays, Drew. I had a dream the other day that I was on a stage in front of an audience of every human being I have ever known in my entire life. And one by one, but also somehow at the same time, because I was in a spatial realm, they walked past me and told me how fat they thought I was. Yeah. And were you doing? I was just having to be on. I was just standing there.

I was just standing there and everybody was walking past me going, you're fat. Yeah, I think, you know what I think is, is, you're fat. And you're worried about it. See, I think it bothers you. I was worried it was going to be that simple, yeah, because I figured it was. Well, it's pretty on the nose with the stage, too, though, right?

Yeah, right. I also got everything I wanted, sold, out show and they only want me for my fat. That's what I was kind of, you said it yourself. I don't even know why you asked me. Okay. Oh, wow. Would you help me get there though?

Sick. I don't know if I can recall a single dream I've had. And I have a two-year-old and I don't know. Do you remember them like right when you wake up and they fade super quick and then they're just gone forever or like you don't remember even having? Oh, I thought you mean it. Exactly. You only had nightmare.

Well, I have that experience all the time where I'm like, I know I had a while. I know I had a dream last night and it was like, wow, but it's completely gone. But I do know that it happened. Yeah, I think that's the case sometimes. And sometimes I can't remember my dreams and I just can't right now. I just can't remember the last one. Like I got good sleep last night and that's pretty good. I feel like I had a wild one recently though.

I don't know. I mean, I think someone making fun of you for having very on the those dreams is cool, but generally speaking, and this is just like a rule of mine in my house, with my wife. Dreams are boring and I don't care about them. Yeah, I was going to say, I agree, unless you're a good storyteller.

Yeah, I don't know. People say like dreams are, I've heard it when people are like, your fancy fantasy football teams is like your dreams. Like nobody gives a shit about them, but you like, people don't want to hear about it. But my wife telling me one of her dreams would suck, but like, if I was to tell her one of my dreams, I would tell it like I was going to

tell it on stage. So it would be entertained. By the way, Drew, Corey, he's correct. Black Mirror did do that. They sent out subtly different versions of an episode.

I do remember that episode. I never knew that that had happened. I don't know which version of the episode I saw, you know, because I didn't even know that that was a thing. But did y'all know, do you all know the movie Clue did that in the 80s?

No. You've seen, you've really seen Clue, right? Bro, a bunch. Rules, right? It's awesome. It's a most place for a reason. I'm assuming when you have seen it in the modern era on streaming or DVD or whatever, they probably, they probably, they roll through a bunch of different endings at the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That every one of those people went to a theater and only saw one of those endings. Wow. They were all different, you know, around the country or whatever. So you couldn't spoil it. Like if you spoil it. I guess, I can't remember. I guess that's probably part of the reason why they did it. Yeah, but all those meetings at the end, which it all just plays, it's like, oh, there's.

just doing all, you know, it all hits just fine. Yeah, it's fine. Right. Outtakes rule. But they didn't do that. They're, you know, you know what I'm saying. Each one of them is. Artistic or marketing that pushed that?

Like, do you think the director was like, this is bullshit? This is supposed to end a specific way. Or do you think the director was like, this is why I'm the man or woman because I'm doing this? I think it's a very Venn diagram of very good artistic marketing, frankly. if it could be both, you know. Because it's a marketing decision, but they pulled it off with artistic valor.

It also is, it's because of, it was, it's definitely, I think it's what Corey did, it is definitely both. It probably originated from marketing or, you know, and then they pulled it off.

Because it's, because it's due to the nature of the game itself, clue, the game clear. Right. It's like, it's supposed to represent. Right.

Yeah. So it can be one. How, how it, to, you know, how each game of Clue is unpredictable and it can be different or whatever. And it's like a nod to that. Clue does it. Yeah, Clue's fun.

Yeah, Clue does it. But I have a bit where I reference Clue right now. Only fresh references in my stand-up act. But speaking of guerrilla marketing, our boy, Sturgle Simpson has really. Oh, my God, bro. It for me, both in terms of how good the album is and how interesting it is, in my opinion. But then also, I think, undeniably across the board.

His whole marketing campaign was memes. Yeah. Just memes about how he's about to drop an album. And then... And there was just natural buzz, you know? And he said, it's a physical only, no streaming. And then two weeks before it comes out, he puts it up on his YouTube.

After telling everyone, you can't stream it anywhere. Now, one person's theory on that was it started the leak. Right. And so he did it to keep it, like, It's like, all right, well, if it's going to stream, then I'm going to put it on my YouTube. Right. But either way. Spotify than he is YouTube, though, really when it comes to the streaming stuff, right?

Like, that's where more of his problem was. Pardon me. One more time. What? A lot of the artists who are like they are boycotting streaming and stuff, I feel like they have more of a problem with the Spotify's than they do the YouTube's. You know what I mean? You make way more money. I mean, dude, I don't, I make hardly any money online.

You make way more money on YouTube than you do Spotify. Of course. Yeah, I know. So, yeah, I mean, because that's what it's about is like you're selling your soul to Spotify for exposure. Like fucking Taylor Swift and Sturgeon's Sturgeon's Mpsons need goddamn exposure. Right. Like Spotify's business model is insane. If it's from a purely business perspective, you're like, so you pay the people who are in fact.

Are the product? Of course. Almost nothing. And then you just collect fees by people. knowing you? It's insane. It's almost as insane as how like we work for Facebook and Instagram. Like without us, they don't have a product.

YouTube is a TV network that doesn't have to take pitch meetings or develop anything. They don't have to do anything. But YouTube pays way better than Spotify. Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure, dude. Like when I get my ass cap check every month or whatever it's called, like, you know, the percentage of what I made. on Spotify is obviously all the way down at the bottom,

and it's usually like two pennies. You know what I mean? Whereas all like the YouTube streaming and the series is a lot higher, you know? Yeah. So you know if like you have a karaoke bar? I don't know, maybe not karaoke. I thought about you line delivered that. You have a karaoke?

Well, because I can't remember, maybe it's not karaoke bar, but a bar where you hire bands but cover bands. It play covers. Yeah. And maybe y'all, maybe everyone in the world knows this already but me. But there's those bands. Those owners of those bars are supposed to like pay a like a subscription licensing subscription fee or whatever to hire, you know, cover bands to be able to.

Because I was talking the other day by how like. You have to do it in restaurants. Well, just when you're playing the music over the thing. Right. See that. That's why sometimes they repeat songs because they pay. There are some services that up where like some you'll be like, you can play a flat rate and have this music.

Exactly. Do you have any idea like how much it is? Man, I used to because of law school. I learned about it. That's why I don't know if people know or not, man. I learned about it in law school.

Because to me, if you own just like a dingy little dive bar and you got, you know, you're hiring guys coming there, you know, to hit on a guitar and play songs to drunk people or whatever. I'm not saying you shouldn't have to pay for it. I'm just saying it feels like it has to be lower.

Yeah. It would have to be You just wouldn't do it Or maybe they don't just do it And they just wait to see if they get pegged for it I just don't do it I mean the only grand scheme Like who has it on lock

When it comes to paper views and stuff like that Is like WWE has a whole team That during WrestleMania They have agents across the fucking country That raid bars that are showing WrestleMania instead of all those people Going home and having fucking subscriptions Ascap, my person.

point is it doesn't have to do what it has to be easier too because it's like hey there's a pay-per-view being ordered at this address right that might be an apartment above the bar but we need to go check it out you know what I'm saying cover bands how the would you do if a cover band wants to make 50 bucks playing my hit songs I think that's fucking sweet now for now if a corporation wants to use my soundtrack while people are shopping and I'm making them money sure ponies up, you know what I mean? But the little guy, let them do whatever the fuck they want. Right. It's not really up to the artist because you sign

that agreement with that. It's not up to the artist, yeah. We've got your back. You'll get 70% of the money, but we're going to go get it, and that's our 30. But to be fair, they do mostly do malls and stuff because they can get more money out of them. What if you're, what if you hit

as an artist, you have a following and just during your show, you just want to play a Tom Petty song or whatever? I think that's sort of like a buddy system. You know what I mean? Like right after Tom Petty died, Isbel was doing a little week-long residency at the rhyming and he played a different Tom Petty song every night. I think that's a

not cover bands because that's different. I think there's like a it's like we all can do a cover here and there type of thing. Like an unwritten rule. If you hit and you cover someone's song, they will end up making money because people will go buy their shit because they heard you do it. It's a buddy system.

Well, I know if you put out a cover, I know that they have to split it out. Of course. But at a show. You just play it at a show. I kind of think it's just like having a guest on a podcast. We all do it for free because it's just exposure. You know what I mean?

Okay. Yeah, you have to have a mechanical license. You have to have a what? You have to have a, it's called a mechanical license. There's different types of licenses to put it out. But I don't know about, you say, you're saying if a cover band's playing in a bar, I know that if the bar is playing music from a speaker. ass cap will come fuck them if they're not paying a licensing fee yeah we're saying that a

band has to well what about okay sure what i'm asking you are you saying that cover bands have to do that too well i'm one i feel like if they get to a certain level like fucking um what was the what was that what was that was always coming through tennessee they were all over the place they played all the 80s hits they had hair oh yeah oh yeah not still panther um i was thinking it's still panther too but it isn't damn it's not but i know who you're talking about i saw my like four different times in Knoxville while I live there. I cannot believe I can't remember the name of that band. Drew, you don't know what I'm talking about.

Say it for me again. I was looking, I was answering my question. That 80s cover band that used to come through Knoxville once every year. No. They just do big 80s hits and they are really good music. You know, I've got a buddy. I think it's Sex Panther, dude.

No, sex panther does original stuff. Oh. Hold on. While you're figuring that out. A band like that, or girl tall. You asked the question, motherfucker. I'm telling you what I'm talking about. Yeah, you didn't answer it.

I'm trying to answer it. I'm trying to answer it. I'm saying at a certain left. If you're just a fucking nobody band, there's no way they make you pay. It wouldn't work. You'd fucking, like, bands don't have nothing. Right.

But if you're a girl called. I know the actual answer. Okay. That's what I'm saying. God. You know, the fuck to ask me a question. I'm trying to explain. my answer to the question.

You get pissed off because you find the fucking. You started talking about what you think. You didn't know. I'm not talking about what I think. Anyway, go ahead. Hey, man, what's the law on this? Buddy, you remember that man with a big hair and they had their dicks out?

They're an example of what I'm talking about. What do you think the statue says? Dude, they had like makeup on. They looked like chicks. You know what I'm saying? They did. The breakfast club. Breakfast Club.

They were fucking awesome. Do you know about here? Do you know about here to tell them the mummies? I will choke you through the screen. Okay. Tribute bands do not have to pay anything. Really? But because venues have to pay a smaller fee,

which is what you were talking about with ASCAP, and it covers it. So every bar that pays a fee to just play music over the radio, that also covers their cover bands. As long as they play at one of those. So what if they put on a show in the park? Then they got to pay their own separate thing, right? That is probably the promoter from what I'm reading here that would generally cover that.

I'm guessing there's situations where no one thought of it and they technically broke the rule. But I mean, dude, I think the ASCAP fee for a bar for just cover bands and then hit and play on a few CDs, if you stay within like their window, it's like 400 a year or something. Well, that's right. That's what I was wondering. also in like food line and stuff you hear music that's kind of close because like I make a lot of videos that I have like music in them but I don't want I can't afford a food fighter song

so I pay $100 a year to a royalty free thing that has just like you know whatever you're whatever you're the genre that you're making action whatever they've got like some sort of sound bed and those are relatively you know low or whatever and you know here's the deal guys this ASCAP A lot of things can be complicated, but one thing that does not have to be is making your website.

And we thank Squarespace for sponsoring this podcast. Y'all, I've been spending way too much time each month and frankly each week figuring out all of my finances.

And then I've got all these other stupid little things that you have to do now in order to just be a comedian. and I've got subscriptions to thing. I don't know where everything's going. I don't know how much I'm paying for this service and that service or whatever.

And thank God for Rocket Money because I'm the world's worst at organizing my finances. It's literally laughable. Matter of fact, there was this one subscription I had, which was to Swedish. It was like some Swedish version of Netflix, and maybe I wanted to watch one show, and I was just paying it every month for like three years.

I'm not going to say which service it was, but I was like, I don't worth all that. Rocket money just like on their own negotiated a different price. And they were like, well, you take this.

also I would add to it that there's a little bit of like man I mean I'm glad anybody's on the team with money but like make him stop talking yeah you know making us look bad uh now he's a very talented actor I think except for justified didn't hit for me uh no that didn't hit for me either Actually, I don't know if I like it. I used to really like him in the 90, like his stuff in the Nike and true romance and stuff like that. He fit. Somehow his thing worked for me back in. He did Pauli store.

In what? In what? He was in the, um, that, uh, that Romeo and Juliet deal. He was one of the guys in that. He was good actor. He was good in that. The, uh, the, uh, Buzz Lerman. Yeah, he's in that.

Pretty, pretty sure he's in that. I like that. No, I think it's a guy who looks like him. He was good at show's a little time. you know what drew you might be right i now remember i've looked at several times because i want to know where he's at that i you're you're right i'm thinking of that guy i don't remember that guy's name but you're same big mouth yeah they do kind of look like but you're right that wasn't michael rat before but anyway i just you know i'll be watching the traders and the new season just ended and he was on

it and i'm not going to no spoilers or nothing but like dude it's like even funches got into it right man dude ron funchis he got fucking railroaded on that show but But Rappaport, though, like, I don't, it's genuinely hard for me to conceive of, like, I don't know, the lack of self-awareness or what's going on in the person's head. Yeah, that guy, Drew, yes, you're right. Dash Meehawk. Dash Meehawk? Wow. Oh, yeah.

Never to be. Jamie Kennedy was in that. Yeah, I just, yeah. He gets, that guy at there sort of looked like a bigger Jamie Kennedy, didn't he? Yeah. of like enlarged, embigioned... They play brothers. Right.

So, yeah, it makes sense. But you're right. I was thinking of that guy. But... I love that movie. Yeah, it's a fun movie. What's the movie from Oz, who plays... Harold Peron.

He's awesome. Harold Peronoh crushes in that fucking... He's in... He's in a show called From that me and Katie Watch. Terrible name. How does anybody fucking Google that? But it's called From. And it's by...

some of the people that made Lost. And it's a mystery box show. And it's one of those deals where it's like, it's still running. So it's like, it's hitting for me right now. But I'm like, this shit better make sense in the end or I'm going to retroactively hate this fucking show. But for now. You said it. Exactly.

That's what you can tell they're from Lost. And I don't know why I believe that they're going to stick the landing with this, considering that. But whatever. Anyway, he's the protagonist of it. And dude, he's fucking, he's great. Like he's, he always crushes everything. But yeah, he's Mercutia.

Mercutio in that and he destroys. He's maybe the best part of that movie. He is and Leguizamo's second for me. But anyway, Rappaport, dude, he's just like, he's so abrasive, dog, like in a way that's wild. And he's in a house with housewives, dude, Bravo people. Do you know what I'm saying? It's like, that's what they do is yell at each other and start shit and stir the pot

and stuff. And it's like, but they do it. and it hits for people. It don't really hit for me, but it hits for people. But he, what he's doing is like, it just,

I don't say how it hits for anybody. It's like, it puts everybody off, I feel like. And I'm like, I don't know, how do you act like that? How does anybody act like that?

I don't know. It's wild to me, dude. Are you going to show it to us? Yeah, I'm just having, Corey's setting something up over here. I think you're saying that. Oh, can you all not see that?

We can see it. Yeah, I'm assuming what's going to have. Oh, God damn it. I was on the wrong fucking thing. I was laughing at it. We just see that you pulled it up on Google, but we didn't see it. So you're going to, now I feel like you've teased everybody with it. Clearly, you put it with a snowball, but we don't get to see it.

I can edit it. I can edit it. I promise I will. I got time. Can you see this? I agree. I kind of think that is funnier. Just leave all this.

see this? Yes, do it. Now I can't remember. Oh, here we go. Sound on. You don't care what you have to say. Just stop talking. God, damn it. You know, this whole crap with this cancel culture and the, shut up.

Shit, shut the fuck up. Nobody wants to hear it. You've been talking all fucking week. I can't what you have to say, just stop talking. You got me right, my fucking head, asshole. Damn it. It's so fucking great, man. It's so fucking great.

I forgot about that to a certain extent. That looked kind of fake. I mean, yeah, you know what? I mean, it is ironic. I don't think he says I hate all this cancel culture. But he seems to me he's got too much of an ego to look like a bitch. I don't think he's got it in him. I don't think he's got it in him.

How did he reply like, oh, you hit my head? I can't believe he didn't get volatile. Maybe it was a big guy. Well, I think it's because he's, it's all show. It's all bluster or whatever. Yeah, but if so, it's the first thing my Uncle Rappaport did the hit for me in a long time, because it's funny as shit. But yeah, like you said, Corey, I always thought I haven't like followed this whole trajectory. But I know, like, years, years ago, he would, he would be in like the comments of like my videos and yours and shit and stuff like that.

Oh, he shared my stuff all the time. I had to mute him because it was always doing like left-lefty stuff, right? But then I get, was it Israel that flipped him? Is that what happened? Yes. He's a huge Zionist. We've been on the wall, whaling. Right, okay.

So post-October 7th, he, that, yeah. It's like what, it's COVID with Joe Rogan and 9-11 with Dennis Miller. Yeah, yeah, but it's funny because, like, somehow, like, here's, what's crazy to me. It's the one issue that flips them, but then they adapt all the other issues they didn't believe you. You know what I mean? That's the part where I'm like, Bill with trans people, I feel like. Right. It happens a lot. Right.

It's like, this is the only one you had a problem with. but when you switched teams, then you gave up what your actual true beliefs on the other things were. And like that does, that's an illogical trade-off. Like, and then you go,

really, the trans thing is more important to you as a black man than all the other stuff? It makes no sense. I can't believe I'm going to defend Dave Chappelle, but I feel like he's insane about trans people, but I don't feel like he switched teams. Yeah.

I mean, he was in Minnesota recently. He was at Alex Brown. Okay, that's fair. That's fair. That's fair. He's been popping off about Palestine. Yeah.

That's fair. He's probably a bad example. He just fucking hates transpeer. Right. Yeah. No, you're right. No, you're right. And maybe allegedly wants to...

I'm the one who brought him up. Not you, Corey, but you're right. But also, for the most part, my point still stands. Like, a lot of these people, it's just, it'll be one issue that flips them, but then they will flip all their other issues that had nothing to do with that. It's because... I know. Well, it's because they...

When it first happens, and then they get, you know, one of the sides gets on to them and they don't like that because they're sensitive. And then the other side embraces them. And so then they just like, you know, go. I mean, hell, Elon fucking did that, dude. Elon used to be his whole, and he was like an environmentalist. He was always like a crazy capitalist. And then during COVID and the shit with the miners in the South America and he got like

exposed and people are like, oh, this guy kind of sucks. And he flipped the fuck out about it. And then like, you know, just went full bore the other direction because they still jack him off. So that's all the I don't trust progressives. Not like, just like little D-Dems or whatever.

But also, oh, fuck, what was I going to say? Something about those. I just want to say like, oh, jelly, like,

I just want to, I would love it if we were allowed to call our buddy queers out loud again, but it's not going to change how I feel about people getting health care. You know what I'm saying? Like, just,

it's not worth it in the ramp, you know, whatever, you know? so fucking yeah I get it queer I feel like God damn it

fuck it's true it's again to nothing so far we got 20 minutes left everybody this son of a bitch it might go

into OT jelly roll the episode we were talking about that and by the way he said in a week you're going to hear from him

and he didn't he backed off apparently well he does live in a different time in space so we don't know if it's a jelly roll

week yet maybe he meant during jelly roll week which was going to happen in Gatlinburg and more. Yeah, after Ramadan for sure. But one thing that we were talking about on there, and this is related to this, like to some extent I do,

I hear what you're saying, like you're throwing out all your beliefs, but that like implies like a real strong sort of, well, belief system, like moral center that's based in something other than where you fit in at. Like I said then, Jelly Roll, apparently, let's give him the bend for the doubt, is a Christian now and is a country music artist.

Yeah, the right is where that lives. And so if Joe Rogan is a libertarian, which, to be fair, he kind of has always been libertariany and is a hunter now and like, say, and Tranny, it does make some sense that the right is where he lives. I hear you. It's like, okay, then why did you join a church? Because he's a weak-spirited person. That's what people can't wrap the brain. Like, go be a Republican without pretending you give a fuck about Jesus. You liar.

What's funny is that's a, who did Dave Chappelle say that about? You said weak-spirited, but he said. Benjaro, Brittle spirit. And he's talking about Louis C.K.'s victims. Yeah, right. I knew it was something, Raven. And that's a brittle spirit, man. Right, exactly.

When they get their, you won't be there and you can't leave? Yeah. Oh, my God. That's a brittle spirit. Yep. Oh, that is not a good thing. Well, especially because it's like, buddy, nobody got broken because they saw his dick. It's because when they told he ruined their lives, that would break anyone's spirit.

Yeah, I was about to say, I've probably seen worse dick. you know what I mean? Yeah, it's not seeing the dick that breaks a woman. It's, hey, that guy showed me his dick, and now I can't be booked anywhere. Yeah, but why did he do that to me? Yeah, it is. That's a good metaphor. It's not the dick you see.

It's the dick you feel, you know? I mean, yeah. And that's Dave Becky's dick on behalf of Louis T.K.'s dick. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's the whole human centipede of dicks. Docking. Docking. Docking.

It's a good band name. That'd be a good bank, like a punk queer band, the doc and dicks. The doc and dicks. You can start your own platform called Dick Doc. Dick Doc.

It's just dick doc. All the videos are 69 seconds. I got ideas, man. Nobody ever backs me up, but I got ideas. Oh, that's a good idea. Them's good. I thought of something.

Oh, I thought of an idea earlier. I want y'all's input on it. This is an idea I have, I think, is a billion. And by the way, before I say this, no, I do not mean through the use of artificial intelligence. I mean, I want studios to actually hire people to do this. So Bain and every young child loves Pixar movies. And a lot of that is the aesthetic.

They're used to the aesthetic of the Pixar movies. So they just like anything with that aesthetic, right? Then they keep making live action versions of all these things. And it's like, yeah, the kids like it or whatever. but why instead of making cartoons into live action, why don't we go backwards and make live action movies into Pixar cartoons so that I can enjoy it? Like make die hard a Pixar cartoon so my son will aesthetically like it,

but then I will enjoy the story. Obviously you have to edit a little bit of it. Hippie Kee, motherfucker's not going to blow. You know, I understand that, but you can have the base story, like the one they used to show on TV, or like the fugitive, but it's a little Pixar hair. Ford running around. Same basic story. Aesthetics or Pixar,

but the story is something that I love, something from a Grisham novel, something that doesn't make me want to blow my fucking brains out. Even though fair play, I like most of the Pixar movies, just not a million times in a row, you know? Basically, the pitch is, hey, Hollywood, you know how you make a lot of money off dipshittery?

Well, there's a corner of the dipship market that you have not tapped into yet. Thank you. Listen, die hard, but it's a cartoon. Yep. Way too expensive. Five points to Corey.

Five points to Corey. Who does that hit for besides like just you? Me. Dipshits. I know. You know how many of us there are? You just called jelly. Have you ever seen a sandals resort tray?

They're full of people. Yes. But I don't think that. I think that a lot of dipshits. It would hit for the kids. That's what I'm saying. It would hit for babies. And they're not going to watch those.

Even if they got kids, they're like, you know, it's produced that are having to watch them anyways, motherfucker. I know, I think a lot of shit. You're right about that. What it is is, is, those dipshits would be like, I'd rather,

I really watch the real one, but I can bring my boy to this. Yeah, dog. But that would just be, the expense required to read. It's like when a drunk, it's like when a drunk drinks Diet Mountain Dew with his son,

because he can't give him beer yet, because his mama won't let him. I don't know that it, would play the same as say Ratatouille. Take his points away. I don't have any points. Negative five.

He ain't giving me none. Fucking, not even for eating the chicken while looking at you earlier. I don't think he saw it. That was really, oh, you're talking about when you did get on me. Wait, right. Yeah, right. Yes, right. May, I've had a lot of great chicken moments this week.

That's your third book. You get retroactive five points for chicken. but negative five for whatever the fuck this take is. You're insane if you're actually a good idea. You're playing along with him and that's fine, but acting like that actually fucking works or the good idea is ridiculous. You could take my points like you want to, but that's absurd. I don't think little kids, like what, how you let the PG it up, Trey.

You'll call it unalive hard. This shit is just the storyline. It exists. It exists. It's fucking nicious. fuck, it's not the Pixar version, but there's animated, R-rated shit for adults. And DJ loves it, and I like it now and then, too. But it don't make fucking die-hard money, and it don't make Toy Story money either.

Like, it's fucking... It's not R-rated. You pull the R back, right? It's a saw. Then it ain't die-hard no more. What the fuck is it? I just said it's unal-al-a-hard. Have you seen the PG-13 die-hard movies, they don't fucking hit.

Everybody knows they don't hit. Oh, the last die-hard movie that I saw was the one with, was it Sam, Worthington in it. That lip... It's Jai Courtney, the other forgettable Australian actor. Bro. That was the most

dog shit movie I've ever seen in my goddamn... I couldn't believe it. Like I knew, I was like, yeah, they've fallen off, but like, I was sitting there, like, cringing by myself, like, my God, when you take an R-rated movie that hits and you take the R-rated parts out of it,

it don't hit for nobody no more. It's a fucking... It's what most everybody's complaints about the movie, Venom was like, this was meant to be R-rated, and the fact that you could, that's the shit that don't hit is the parts where it's... Well, just get creative with it and have him say cute little things like yippie-kye, cowboy Woody, you know, and we'll know he means. Are you going to have him blowing people away in that man? Yeah, you want to say the, hey, just fucking Star Wars never showed blood.

Star Wars never showed blood? But there's lasers and aliens and stuff. You want to put, you want to put fucking the raid into the fucking Toy Story universe or whatever, and I just don't know how that's going to fucking work out. You're going to fucking do it and you're going to laugh and I'm going to laugh. They're going to do it. We're all going to laugh. It's perfect.

It would be all going to laugh. What about? Bail Wolf. Do you remember that? That's son. I know. That's what I'm saying. It's a 900-year-old story.

I'm just saying that was like that was fucking that. Corey said. movies for adults and Pixarify them. Also, it has to be that a classic movie, dude. Bay Wolf, I can't believe you brought that up. You had gotten me on your side and then you brought up Bay Wolf.

It's literally a computer-generated animated movie for adults. Yeah, but it's not, no, Trey, you're not, listen, you've been right on your points, but that's not his kids. It's four kids, and it's so the adults, adults will go and have a good time. They already do that.

It's like David and Buster. Dave and Buster's, they already do that. But it's for families. Anybody making a kid's movie worth their fucking salt already does that. If that's your pitch, put stuff in kids' movies for adults, too. They figured that out 35 fucking years ago, okay? I know that. Those movies do it for me.

They got breaking bad references in Zootopia. It's like they do that. I agree. There's no mob dramas. You know what I mean? Right. So you ever seen on Sesame Street? Animaniacs did that.

Animaniacs had a whole characters that were in the middle. a lot. Sesame Street even would do boardwalk empire parodies and stuff like that. So it can be done. When you're watching, I remember those.

And when you're watching that, you're like, well, that's neat. But it don't hit for me like boardwalk empire. You're not a dead shit. It ain't for you.

It wouldn't hit for me like boardwalk empire, you idiot. It would just hit harder for me than Tangles. Than regular Sesame Street? No, than Tangled or something.

Marginally. No, not marginally. Tangled is a good movie, dog. I agree, Tangled is a good movie. I agree it's a good movie, but I've seen it a lot. I've seen it a lot. I still kind of, you're right. But I still don't think you get it, though.

Like, it's weird. You don't get it, but you're still right. What part about it, don't I get? The whole thing, man. How not? What, if that hit, they'd be doing it. See, I respect. Drew, so we guys would not even try to make new hits,

guys. You explain to me what it is. the part what I don't grasp about it. I don't know what you don't grasp. It's just clear to me that you don't grasp. But you can't help. Drew, you just explained a lot about myself to me is you don't agree with me, but it doesn't hurt my feelings because at least you understand me.

That's almost every comedian. We don't actually care of the audience agrees with us. But you understand me right now. They understand where the fuck we're coming from. Yeah, you understand me. So I don't care if you disagree. I'm so happy that you understand me. Here's how much I understand you right now.

That's not even true. All that's happening is you're now using me to get at him because he has hurt you. Die hard. More four points for Drew, everybody. He's got a 15-5 lead and we've got five-lead. Insurmountable. Insurmountable. So it's die-hard, but it's Pixar die-hard and it's not R-rated anymore.

Yeah. That's the whole thing, right? That's all of it. Literally the same movie. Art for ridiculous. Pixar. Same movie. Yeah.

It's picks hard. It's Pixared. It's very Pixared. It's very Pixared. Let's get Pixared. Oh, let's get Pixared in here. I'd like to see that woman with a big butt dance while you do that. I don't care what woman you're talking about. Me too, brother.

That's a thing in Pixar, right? There's like they make other ladies real. Oh, dude, Missing credible. How about this? The comedy version of this is let's take all the dirty or offensive jokes out of sausage party. but and then it'll hit. No. No, but that's a Pixar style animated movie

about talking food. You don't get it. It's very kidding. If you have the sound off, that looks like it's for kids, it's hot dogs talking to the balmy sandwiches and shit. No fucking shit. So it was die hard.

I'm saying. I'm going to explain it to you. I'm explaining to you. I'm explaining to you. I'm going to tell you. I know what you're both doing and it's fine. You can both suck my dick. It's fine.

I thought you. You asked me to explain it to you. No, I know that I'm aware of what's happening. I know what's happening just so everyone knows that I know what's happening. He knows. What do you know? I know what you do. He now thinks he's got to the point where he knows that if I say you don't understand something, that'll set him off, which I do know that.

But that's not why I've done this. You don't get it. I'm going to explain it to you and you will get it. And then you'll be able to tell Corey why he's wrong. Because there's a reason this won't work, but you haven't touched on it. Okay. Here's what it is. you're saying if you take the die hard

if you take YPKAA motherfucker out of it if you take the blood out of it it won't hit and Corey's saying not as hard but it would still hit more for me than these Pixar movies where at the end I got to learn some fucking lesson about you know Wally or whatever

we're going to save the environment or inside out I'm dealing my feelings instead of that make it a kid's movie but with no lesson just fun that way I enjoy it more than this dumb shit where I'm watching Pixar and they're trying to teach me some moral. I don't want that.

I just want to have fun. There's plenty of like dumbass, no lessons learned kids movies that are made and they don't hit for people. He's right about that. And I'm just, the idea. Are they Pixar-ed though? The idea that die-hard-

Let's get Pixared. That die-hard but-pick-sarded. Die-hard but-pick-hearted. that's like, okay, it won't hit for me as hard as die hard, but it'll hit for me harder than these Pixar movies that I'm having to watch all the time. No, it won't. That's what I'm saying.

Those movies hit for me, but there's only so many of them. They're running out. There's not as many of them. They are more to make more. It is harder to make a great Pixar movie than it is to just redo something like that. That's right.

I know that's why Hollywood does reboots and shit all the time and those pissed people off. Like, yeah. Yeah, but they go see them. piss who off people on the internet they don't piss off the box office which ones what are you talking about many of them fail every year every year of course many of them fail but like year after year the top 10 most money making were like reboots or sequels or fucking you know all that shit is that what you're talking about sequels and franchise movies and continuations and stuff right like yeah you're right

robo cop and total recall those those don't ever hear yeah yeah can i just say no imagine those are PG rated in their Pixar fight. Can I just say that I've despised that we've let them get away with saying franchise when they just mean another goddamn sequel? Yeah, yeah. They're not the fucking Dallas Mavericks. Suck my dick.

I'm so tired of comic book movies. Oh, dude. Yeah, I don't want you to be tired of them. I mean, I think. No, me either. Like, I was actually thinking yesterday, like, Bain loves, he loves so many things that I love. And I was like, oh, you know, he's three.

Maybe it would take us a while, but maybe we should do a Marvel watch. And we'll watch all of them in a row or whatever. And I was like, I can't do that right now. He used to it was so easy for me to want to do that. But like, yeah, man, I'm, I'm yearning for a big, I'm yearning for big things that don't have shit to do with spandex. Except for Batman 2 can't fucking wait. I did that.

I did literally exactly that with my boys, but that was around the time of Engage. When it was it. Exactly. Yeah. And so you could just do that. Like, I would recommend you just do that. Just go up to endgame and then just stop. I think you should show up Jonathan Waters' clicks. That's what my dad did. Exactly.

I was going to stop it in there. He's only got one problem, which is when people think he can't understand something. He gets mad. Yeah. I was going to stop in the game. Okay. I just can't even bring myself to revisit it right now

because it's like the ghost of, I don't know. I just don't want to waste my time on span. I've wasted so much time on Span. I tell a lot of people feel about Game of Thrones, I think. right once it they found out. Yeah, but that's you wouldn't hit so hard. No, no, no, I know, but that, well, that ain't what I mean literally the show Game of Thrones.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's when I rewatch it, it's so funny how it got me all over again because I rewatched it and I didn't want to rewatch it because I was like, I know it ends up not hitting for me and fuck, but Katie wanted to rewatch it. So we rewatch it. It sucked me in so hard. I was like, this, God damn it, this show

fucking rules. Unbelievable. And then it like pissed me off all over again too. even though I knew it was coming. We still rewatch those and I still got mad about them all over again. And now I'm back in the exact same spot. I don't want to rewatch it again for that reason. But if I ever do, I know the same thing will play out all over again.

If I ever rewatch that, it's just random episodes at a time now. Like I don't, because I'm the same way. But like every now and then I'll be like, you know what? I want to watch the Battle of the Bastards. That's a fine standalone thing. I'm treating it like a movie, you know? But yeah, I hear you. I mean, like, I, I rewatched lost.

What an idiot. Why? Why would I, you know what I mean? Why? You like being edged? Is that? Apparently, yeah, I did have my wife choke me during the finale, so maybe there's something. I think there's someone in his house and there shouldn't be.

What the fuck was that? I had that earlier. I thought there was a fleet of cats being raped just to my left, but it was just, I was listening to an audio book, Revenge of the Sith, novelization. and it was just pod-bay doors opening and closing. And to me, that sounded like cats being raped, and I got scared. So they made Revenge of the Sith into a book, and then two hours later, you were like,

they should make these films into Pixar movies. That's hilarious. Oh, no, I had this Pixar idea long before I started this book, for the record. I just like novelizations. You get to know more, you get to go in-depth about the characters, see the things that were cut. I just enjoy them. Yeah, I like novels.

I know that makes me sound like a dick in response to that. I just don't know. I like novels, too. in the process of reading something that's complicated with D-Ded-O characters. Why not get some new? I'm generally like, why not get some new ones? I do. I do read novels, though. I read, I read-a-law. I know you read a lot.

I just can't. I don't understand franchises. I hate it. I hate a franchise. I hate the idea of a franchise. Just fucking make something new. Fair, fair, fair. But I've never read this one and it's good. I got to learn about Count Duku's motivations. Turns out he wasn't really that bad of a guy, Drew.

He just, he didn't, he believed in the separation of church and state, and that's why he left the Jedi order. That's interesting to know that. I'm glad. Makes me understand and empathize with Count Dukum more, and I need that with my character. You know what I need? I need people to come see me on the road, guys. I'll be in Chicago this weekend, and then Denver after that, steamboat springs.

That's a place. I know, and apparently it's a swinger haven. Hell yeah. That's what Drew told me, and he would know. I trust him in terms of swinging. What I said is, when you're in Denver, if someone's doing local heat and they say something about people being freaky or swingers, it's always like, like if someone's like, God damn, I'm about the fuck this couple.

Are y'all from Steamboat Springs? It's like a known thing. There's no way. I've never been to Steamboat Springs. Is it off Route 66 by chance? Because it sounds like it has to be. It does sound like that. You're right.

But it's a ski town with hot springs and people go there and fuck each other's butts and stuff. But I'm not doing that. I'll just be telling my silly jokes. Anyway, to check me out there. And also Burlington and Wisconsin, a bunch of other places. places in their future all at tricrouder.com please. Gentlemen.

I will be in coming up, I'm going to be in New Orleans as part of the Ternado Street Comedy Festival down there at Sports Drink and a few other places. That is like March 19th weekend. The weekend after that I'll be in Denver at the Denver Comedy Lounge. I have found out that

I'm not on their website and I'm not going to be. They're like, ah, it's fine. So I am headlining all shows, but it just says that there's a comedy show at the Denver Comedy Lounge. So if you're writing me like, which show is it? All of them. That's dumb. All the shows from that weekend.

Yeah, I guess I feel like in my heart now, it's not on me to sell these tickets if you don't even want to tell people. Of course not. It absolutely isn't. Fuck that shit, man. I mean, go see our boy. I mean, obviously you always want people to show up just because it makes a show head harder. But yeah, but yeah, it definitely ain't. I mean, I don't want to come up like I'm mad.

The part of me was like, oh. okay cool I guess it's like no I'm mad for you I think that oh and then I got Bristol April 18th I think and then I am going to be part of the National Comedy Festival I don't know what all shows I'm going to be on though but I'll let you all know that's also in April
