Starting point is 00:00:00 And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion. Because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.
Starting point is 00:00:19 It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know?
Starting point is 00:00:42 Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better, and it's called Rocket Money. Rocket Money is a personal finance app
Starting point is 00:01:02 that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture,
Starting point is 00:01:21 including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different
Starting point is 00:01:49 language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app,
Starting point is 00:02:08 lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money. What was that a reply gift for?
Starting point is 00:02:30 Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them. They help.
Starting point is 00:02:46 If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

Starting point is 00:03:25 Miss Rachel. She's been talking all about the folk in Gaza, and they leaned on her, and they were like, Miss Rachel, keep your foken mouse shut. And she was like, no, I can't you do that? Fuck you. They're the fever of rednecks. They like cornbread, but sex, they care way too much,
Starting point is 00:03:42 but don't give a fun. They're the liberal rednecks that makes some people upset. They got three big old dicks that you can suck. I've got to know Miss Rachel. All right, you children are my rules? She's like the Mr. Rogers of the COVID generation, and I mean that sincerely. I mean, that's the only comp. My kid and every kid I know of like five and under lights.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I mean like this. When they see her, she has, I think she's like the second or third most sub thing on YouTube now. Oh, yeah. And she's really great. Turns out huge anti-Semite. That's what I'm putting up. No, no, no. No.
Starting point is 00:04:23 No. Oh, right. Yeah. Well, yeah. Okay, sure. But like the Jews that don't. Well, what happened was... That's a shame. That's a shame. No. It's funny because... It's funny because it's true.
Starting point is 00:04:35 It's funny because what happened was she just, like, she cried. Somebody asked her about it, and she started crying, and she was like, kids should always, like, you know, be taken care of, and it's sad that they're killing kids. And then they came for her. And now she's just telling the whole... whole truth. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:56 So it was like, it was like, yeah, I was trying to be in my lane and then, uh, y'all have accused me of literally being on a terrorist, uh,
Starting point is 00:05:04 payroll. So now I'm going to tell the whole truth. Exactly. So she'd be having these amputated babies on her show and giving them bears and ones that have gotten out. She like feeds them and goes and plays with them and stuff. And, uh, let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:05:20 It really don't hit for Zionists. Yeah. Well, she, like I said, Yeah, that's the funny thing, is that, like, she just said something that everyone should agree with, which, like, she was just like, children should be taken care of and they shouldn't be getting exploded. Like, that's, that's, that's like the most, you know, I mean, it's not even spinning, you know, it's just the safest thing to say that someone can say. And they were like, so, really? You think that children shouldn't be an exploding?
Starting point is 00:05:43 Explain again why you hate Jews? Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, and, like, she all, but I love her because, like, she's told, you know, all those motherfuckers, her, the main critique, well, not main critique, but. But one of the huge critiques I've seen is, like, all these people being like, why is Ms. Rachel doing this? Like, does she not want to protect her brand and her business or whatever? And I'm like, well, she's showing that, you know, look, if you have enough money, like, why wouldn't you let your nuts hang out? Like, she don't need your shit.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Like, she could have retired 900 times over. You know what I mean? Like, so she's just giving it how it is. I would have probably argued this as a debatable point six months ago. Like, probably she could make an argument she is. protecting her brand. I think at this point, it's almost inarguable that the way,
Starting point is 00:06:31 like the shift in the, at least like normal everyday people's conversation. I mean, you got Theo Vaughn speaking out against this particular genocide. I think Ms. Rachel did protect her brand. I'm not saying that's why she did it.
Starting point is 00:06:45 But even that argument makes no sense to me at this point. I don't know how it hurts your brand at this point to be like, to some people. These amputated kids, I'm going to take care of them. Well, to some Uber conservatives, I mean, again, unless you're saying exactly what they want to say, their whole thing is like, you shouldn't have an opinion either way. You're an intertainer, you know, you're a children's entertainer. They're always like, they should not have an opinion either way.
Starting point is 00:07:10 You're supposed to just be there for the children, you know, whatever, blah, blah, blah. But, like, Miss Rachel is actually, she's not that fucking non-binary people and genocide are even close to the same thing. but she uh i mean asked my pap off whatever but like she there was a couple years ago she hired a non-binary person um on there to play guitar and stuff and and they're awesome and she came under a little heat for that at first but then it's like she was so untouchable that even like the super right-wing christians i know we're like we don't give a shit we let we let we let our kids listen to they them play guitar because they're so good like they're learning so much we don't care and Mr. Rachel was just like, hey, what's you going to do?
Starting point is 00:07:51 You know? Yeah, I mean, they just gave, she just gave someone a job. I mean, you know, it was what should have been the reaction to the Bud Light thing. That's what I was about to say. Well, it's all Bud White did and that didn't, you know. Right. Well, and also that this person, not that I would care if they did, whatever, they don't, like, I've seen every, and I know you have to, I've seen every Mr. Rachel video that exists. And not one time has it come up.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Like, it's just that. You're right. It's not like, you know, good rocks have brought it up. You didn't do this on the purpose. You probably didn't even mean to, but amigo, you know, I'm assuming this person's pronouns are they, them or whatever. I think, yeah. When you were getting into this just now, you said that, this, like you were like, you said, it's just that this person. They then when they sit, you know, sit there then.
Starting point is 00:08:38 That's as close. You put a side in the middle of that. That this. Come over here. This, yeah. Well, what's funny is you didn't really call them that this. the sentence was, I'm sure that this person, you just put a slash there. It was.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah. I'm sure that this person, yeah, I was just trying to enunciate. And for the one time, it got a redneck in trouble when they enunciated. But yeah, like, it's not like, that's true. That's true. That's true. But yeah, it's not like they've gone on there and they were like, call me. It's just you can, everybody knows their personal life.
Starting point is 00:09:13 So that's what it is. But again, Ms. Rachel's like, she's so untouchable. like she got so many subs and she's and by the way like i mean this with my whole heart like bane has learned we dude we teach him stuff we we do our parenting thing but like we can't be on 24 seven there's been so many things that like miss rachel's just been on the background and i hadn't really been paying attention that bane he'll be saying these things i'm like oh well i had to get and then i'll finally pay attention i'm like he's just quoting this whole video but then like it's not just memorization like he can actually you know if i hold up this he says five so it's
Starting point is 00:09:46 not like he just remembers it like she's teaching them shit like it's a really good thing it's sesame street it's mr rogers it's all that um and you know she um i guess she hates jews i don't what about blueie does bluey hates the jews or does bluey hate the jews as well they don't they don't ring no bills for you tray i just i really thought she was like she's real high to us i did too because like like a lot of like uh like gen z djs it's kind of fucked up what They do. One of her big things is get stuff out of boxes and she shows it to you and she puts it back. Pull it out.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Pull it out. Pull it out. There's a lot of remixes of put it in, put it in, put it in. And then like the DJ will drop the beat or whatever. So like, well, you know that I'm also not exactly up on my Gen Z DJs. That's just a thing I thought of. Yeah, but that goes wild. I didn't know that either, but it's funny because she does the put it in.
Starting point is 00:10:41 That's true. But before she does that, she has another one. She goes, pull it out, pull it out. Just get it out. And every time, but every time she does that and I walk by, I literally, I laugh and think about, like, LBJ, like making a meme of, or fucking, like, Lynd Johnson pulling his dick out to Miss Rachel. The only reason I don't know, I mean, it goes viral. I just asked about Bluey because I see him get brought up. My sons are too old for Bluey as well.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I've never seen an episode of that either, but, like, Reddit talks about Blue. It's over, I think. Bluey's been around longer, has it not? Yeah. Blue is like a legit, well-written show that just happens to be for children. Yes, it's unbelievable. My kids' day, that was like Gravity Falls was one of those. Yeah, it's like Toy Story in the way that like I, like they've done such a good job of like,
Starting point is 00:11:30 dude, when Bain got into Bly, I was like, I don't, I'll, I've, Bain has fallen asleep and I've left it on. You know what I mean? Because it just fucking hits. It's really good. Right. Hey. Well, they're all shrill.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Yeah, they're Australia. Australian dogs. Actually, Australia is an uproar over cartoon character Blue calling to free Palestine. No. Someone may have done it. This is a fucking headline dog. As a joke about Ms. Rachel, like that's an
Starting point is 00:12:05 onion-style thing as a takeoff what Ms. Rachel is doing. Or that's literally true. Because either one of those is funny, but one of them is funny. But I think the uproar comes from someone, you know, like what am I trying to say? Still in the IP to do it. Right. When asked if he supported genocide, Bluey said, no.
Starting point is 00:12:27 No. No. No. No. It is weird how they do that. I love it. When an Australian girl goes, well, okay, that sounds weird that I'm like, I love it when Australian girls say no. Tell me no.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Yeah. That's my favorite kind of female no to hear, in fact. But they'll ask, there's a trend now of like Australian girls trying to say no. And it just so happens that a lot of them are really hot because they're from Australia. And they'll be like, no, again, I don't want to. I want to hear it when I say, do you want Taco Belt? No, I don't want to hear it then either. I want to hear it.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Damn. Yeah. When does it hit for a woman to say no, Corey? Never. NER! NER! No. No.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Oh, man. I've Ainsby. I've found a new Guilty Pleasure recently that ain't going to hit for y'all. Australian talk made me think of it because I've now moved on to the Australian version of it.
Starting point is 00:13:28 First of all, this is, I'm not going to say it's on a par with Miss Rachel, but I'm pretty sure that this is like I think it's currently, literally the biggest reality show that exists, I think. So it's not like I'm giving out a hidden gym here or nothing, but it's just very much
Starting point is 00:13:44 or no the traitors you guys heard of the traitors oh the Alan coming show yeah well been on my list to watch is it good I like Alan coming again it's a guilty pleasure can't stop watching the shit they absolutely fucking hooked on it can we you know what man can we what are they doing what's Alan coming doing just judging people he's just he's the host and he's the campy a son of a bitch alive and so that's okay he hosts the the American version of it I I think it was originally, there's also, I've only, I've only also watched the, I've only also watched the Australian version. I think the original, as is often the case, is the UK.
Starting point is 00:14:25 UK, yeah. They got New Zealand, they got Canada before it's all said, no, I'm probably, I'm probably going to watch every one of them. Yes, but like, here's what happened. There's this dude named Wells Adams, who I met doing Doug Gloves movies, but Wells is. I did one with him too. You did? I think so.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Well, he's a lovely dude. Only because I know that, only because that name sounds familiar. And I've also done Doug Love's movies at least 15 times. So I just assume I had. So, and this was a live one that me and him were on together. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Dynasty typewriter. He's, he's from, he's like the bartender on the Bachelorette or something. I don't watch a bachelor's, but you know, they got like a, he's not the host,
Starting point is 00:15:10 but he's like a permanent side character. You know, on The Bachelorette, which is obviously a huge show. He's also married to Sarah Highland, who is the older daughter from Modern Family. Yeah. Oh, never mind. Unless it didn't come up, then this is not the same guy I'm thinking about. He's married to her, so he's got like 2 million Instagram followers from those two things combined. Also, you know, he's a strapping young man and everything.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Right. But I met him doing Douglass movies. Then me and him were on the same plane from Burbank recently. and it was the Masters weekend because he was sitting right beside me watching the Masters on his tablet, so I watched some of it too. And I was like...
Starting point is 00:15:50 I'm so jealous right now that you watch the Masters or somebody else. It really hurts my feelings. I mean, I also watched it with you. Oh, yeah, that's right. It was coming back from your house. We've live streamed it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:02 It was coming back from this happened. And I was like, after I got up to play, I was like, you know, I like Wells. I'm going to see what he's been, you know, what he's been up to. And I got on Instagram,
Starting point is 00:16:10 and he was just on season three of the traders, right? The most recent season, he was on that. And because he was on it and I'd heard of it. I knew it was popular and shit. I was like, Katie, we think, me and Katie didn't have anything to watch. I was like, let's just check this out. It's probably dumb as fuck. But, you know, I know a guy that's on there.
Starting point is 00:16:27 You know, what do you think? And just never looked back, bro. So, Drew, do you know the popular camp fire or like Boy Scout camping game? Mafia or where? So it's like Among Us, right? Yeah. Well, Among Us is also a rip-off of mafia. So I've actually, I never grew up playing it.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Someone's the werewolf, but they don't, but they don't know. It got like viral popular, popular about four or five years ago. Yeah. I think it had been, I think the original, like, you know, camping game had been around for a long time. It had been around for a long time, but I've never heard of it until the internet made me aware of it. I think like actually seven or eight years ago. Because of Among Us, like Corey said, I'm assuming. Among Us was a game that basically steals that idea,
Starting point is 00:17:15 and it became a cultural phenomenon. Well, now Traders is a reality show that also steals that idea, essentially. But it's just, it's, but another catch is they only use reality show people. So these people are drama queens. Tell the audience what the premise is in case they don't know what Mafia or Wolfs is or anything. Before you do that, can I ask, is one of them? or is this just a sketch someone did kind of making fun of or just putting in satirization in this game
Starting point is 00:17:44 where you do the thing where one guy's straight, everyone else is gay. Have you seen that? I have. It's great. And that's a satirization. I think it's a well-acted sketch. They set it up like it's not a full reality show,
Starting point is 00:17:59 but it's like one of those YouTube houses making a quick reality show type sketch. And the idea is there's seven of you, one of you's straight but he's going to act gay you've got to vote on who's straight and if he gets down to the final two he gets all the money but if you out just be a real show yeah but they're all straight
Starting point is 00:18:18 take a bunch of sketch yeah that's great that's hilarious yeah I want to watch that that's because yes yes true that is a takeoff of this because yes the premise is the first night the host there's like straight dudes butt fucking each other for seven million dollars there's 20 people in a house
Starting point is 00:18:35 and the first night the host It's a blindfold on all of them and secretly names two to five of them as traitors or, you know, mafia or werewolves, but on this show it's traitors. No one knows who the traitors are, you, the audience does know. Every night the traitors kill one person and the following, they, you know, they wake up the next morning and a person is missing because they were killed the night before. And then that day, they have a round table to banish, to vote on who they think is the traitor. and they get it wrong mostly and they vote off a fellow faithful someone who's not a traitor
Starting point is 00:19:09 and then that night the traitors kill someone else and the number slowly dwindle and until they figure out you know who's the who's the traitor in their midst or whatever and it's just like it's just a really good format for a reality show especially when you add
Starting point is 00:19:22 in that it's casted entirely by reality people so these are like the most over the top dramatic lunatics on planet Earth. You're good friend Wells. Yeah well no and so sports he like he definitely if you watch season three
Starting point is 00:19:38 you'll understand why I'm totally comfortable saying what I just said he kind of also says that on the first episode he's like he's like I'm not like the rest of these people he says something sort of like sort of like that yeah because he hits they're mostly like housewives it was just so funny that you you started the story with like I was like man
Starting point is 00:19:54 I like whales let me see what he's up to and then circle back yeah just the crazy is the most I know well again if you've seen season three it wouldn't seem that odd me saying that because you would know that's not an insult if you're in the entertainment business though you know what i mean uh but anyway i just uh don't care right i can't i just can't stop watching it and it's like i've never been other than my cakes obviously the bake off which i always
Starting point is 00:20:22 got into survivor bro you got into survivor don't front well but survivor was the very first one and i was hooked on it from the beginning and then i fell out of it and revisited it years later that's a little different, I think. I don't, but I don't, no, here's the thing, though. But, oh, no, no, but hold on. Follow me here. Trace. This is what I'm, this is the first new non-food-related reality show that I've literally
Starting point is 00:20:46 ever picked up. Survivor when I was a teenager. You don't understand. It doesn't understand. 20 years later, this one. You don't understand what I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to say is, I'm trying to get you to stop feeling, you're talking like a person who's scared and guilty, and I'm saying, here's what I want to say.
Starting point is 00:21:02 is that in the year 2025. Buddy, it's trash. Listen to me. Listen to me. If you watch it and tell me it's not trash. It doesn't matter. It doesn't. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:21:12 No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't matter if it's trash. There's nothing wrong with the term guilty pleasure. I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to advocate for the, like, abolishing of the term guilty pleasure. That's stupid. In the year, in the year 2025, we've got to let it go. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:21:24 There's no, no. Whatever you want to do, baby, in this world. We still need to bring your mind. Drew Draud. I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. I agree with, I've been listening to Sabrina Carter and do a leaping shit later, and it don't bother me at all.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Queer. But this show, like, this show hits for me. It's a genre. Guilty pleasure is a genre, that's what you're saying. Yes, that's what I'm saying. But I just think we should call it trash TV. This show hits for me, too, but they are very different. Of course.
Starting point is 00:21:52 It's very you to be like, we got to get rid of guilty pleasure. Like, no, I'm saying, and you know what? I'm just saying we should feel. You of all people, you had the best. chick-fil-a bit back when that was a relevant thing to have a bit about where you were like it is so much don't take the guilt away people like oh don't you feel bad eating that it's so much better because i'm not supposed to do it so you have to call it a guilty pleasure but a lot of changes have that effect dude like gambling is a guilty pleasure if you don't feel a little bit bad
Starting point is 00:22:24 about spending your child's future college money on what you're doing it don't hit and that's by rich people gamble so much more money because it don't hit if they don't feel like they're actually that's what norm said that's what norm said sin has to yeah exist norms to yeah norm said with gambling it has to hurt a little bit like it has to hurt if you lose but no I agree with you you're 100% right I guess the thing's in rules and if you get rid of sins it don't rule no more sin does rule I guess what I'm reacted to it like is myself I used to judge my mom and my sister for the television that they watch so much, like so much. I would judge, anybody that watched any type of reality TV, I would judge them so much.
Starting point is 00:23:06 I was like, why aren't you watching modern times and the kid and the great dictator, you fucking plebs? You know what I mean? And then I was just like, you know what, man? And then I saw some trash shit that I liked. And I was like, you're, you know, I was like, you're not wrestling's the same thing. What are you fucking talking? What are you even doing?
Starting point is 00:23:24 Like, how is the Kardashians and wrestling different except for the Kardashians are worse people somehow than wrestlers, which is amazing. But I was like, I don't want anyone to ever feel bad for anything that brings them joy, ever. If it brings you joy in this fucked up world, you don't, you shouldn't feel no guilt. It's all I'm saying, but Drew's right. You should feel some guilt sometimes. And also it makes the joy hit harder, I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Like, well, that's gross. I don't want to say that. I do want to say this because I don't think we've talked about this particular one on here before. One of my whales in comedy was with comedy, central one of the things we tried to write what you cut out in the middle of that you cut out for me you said one of my whales and I screamed you got a whale like an idiot and then we both froze so it made it look even dumber and I was already insecure about it so my new guilty pleasure is what I just did yeah yeah I don't feel guilty about it but that hit for me to see your face go from like fun
Starting point is 00:24:24 and then you unfroze to like oh no I bombed um we tried to write a sketch I don't I don't think it was my idea, but I tried to write it on catfish Jesus. And the idea being, you know, Republican Jesus has abs is white, is blonde, seems to hate immigrants and Palestinians and love guns. Yeah. And that wasn't your idea. That was definitely your idea. Yes. I'm saying, I don't know among the three of us.
Starting point is 00:24:57 I just remember I was trying to ride it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was your idea for sure. Okay. And I started watching 90-day fiancé in an attempt to make that, the satirical vehicle through which we explore this concept. The idea being that someone tried to 90-day fiance, Jesus being the Republican kid by Jesus, and then the Nevisi socialist shows up. Yeah, because the catfish was already so dated. Right. Catfish was already so dated of a reference by the time we were trying to do this. And 90-day fiancé was new and was that new hotness.
Starting point is 00:25:31 and there was a way to try to do it that way instead. So we all watched it. Because catfish. I started watching it. Jesus is hilarious. I started watching it at the same time for the same reason. And I'm pretty sure I know what you're going to say. I could not figure out the sketch, which has always bothered me.
Starting point is 00:25:49 But the show is one. Yeah, but it just, it was fine. But it was one of the most compelling things I've ever watched. The stakes are so clear. clear. Someone's going to come here. And for 90 days, they're going to live in America. And I'm going to decide on that 90 days if I want to marry them. And often the reason it's such a question is it's like, we met online or we met on vacation. And I don't know if they're just doing this to scam me out of a green card or if they also really love me. And you have such a wide
Starting point is 00:26:21 range of obvious, like, there's like, that chick does not want to fuck you dog. She's clearly trying to get a green card over here on this end, guy without no neck. And then over here on the other end, You've got, this Asian gal, I think, did it for the green card, but also I think wants a husband. Like, she wants to hope that. She's not going to leave you. She wants to come here and be a wife to a dude with money. And then you got like the white lady with the guy she met on vacation. Anyway, such compelling drama.
Starting point is 00:26:52 The families wanted to be happy for their sister, but also being like, this dude is lying to you. that stopped me forever from shit talking reality television outside of it's it's very exploitive like all but all tv is oh you know like as long as people are aware of what they're doing which by the way let's talk about nathan fielder next as long as people are aware of what they're doing as long as they signed up for it and it ain't kids right i i just it's just hard or the super elderly it was so compelling i've never seen anything i'm with you man i'm with you man the thing the one that it was for me was I don't oh yeah no both
Starting point is 00:27:34 at tray you've been on the show and drew you were in New York one of my really really best friends in comedy Nagin Fassad Fassad Fassar who hosts Faked the Nation podcast she does a a separate podcast where she like does TV show reviews right and I've been like a regular co-host or whatever on that thing and she sent me a message one time she's like hey I'm doing a
Starting point is 00:27:56 I'm doing a TV show review and I've done it before with her with like severance you know and all this stuff so i was thinking it would be something in that regard and i was like yeah i mean she goes well it's the golden bachelor i was like i was like oh and she goes i need someone for episode seven and eight are you in and i was like yeah which means i have to watch the whole thing like if i was just doing episodes one through three like i could have just watched that but i was like i had to catch up on the whole season you know and she's like i know it's fucking stupid And I was like, hey, I love you, I'll do it. And I watched that shit.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And just like Drew said, and now the reason I didn't feel bad for these people with the Golden Bachelor, all of them had money. Like, they had their own money and shit. So I was like, hey, whatever happens. Like, y'all just did this because you wanted to do this. Like, you weren't like a poor person that was looking for a payday. Or maybe they secretly were, you know? The absolute, there was a period of time there in the 2000s where reality TV was just fully unhinged.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Like, you remember Joe Millionaire or whatever? Yes. They had the Bachelor, but then at the very end, they were like and get his what you didn't know ladies he's he hires he poor he don't hit how do you feel now you gold dicking hoar if you break his heart for being poor on national technology here's a bag of money that's yours if you just tell the world right now you're shallow exactly yeah yeah yeah anyway golden bachelor they all golden bachelor it was it was fun like because it was uh it was like it was like But it was kind of gutter-inching because there were more losers than winners. There were two winners and then like eight sad ladies.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Absolutely, absolutely. But it was more than had a dead husband and then got rejected on David. Without question, when you look back at it, it's almost worse than when it happens to 20-year-olds because like these people are like it. But that was why it was so compelling. But the reason it was so compelling is because there are reasons for like liking this person versus not liking this person wasn't like, well his abs are like what it was like you know their moral philosophy on this was like oh they've read marcus aureureas or whatever the fuck it was just more mature shit you know shit i can relate to you know and like it was yeah it was and the guy that was the golden bachelor like his wife
Starting point is 00:30:13 had passed away and that's sad as fuck but that made him like a he was immediately a baby face like he immediately they didn't have to turn him for me like he's immediately a baby face you know what i mean and then you got all these fucking bitches conspiring against each other like turning heel and shit and like it was great like when i see there was he was he really liked this lady you know and he was like this it's coming down to these two and in this one bitch did some conniving stuff you know that the audience is supposed to know but maybe he's not supposed to know but like he got keyed in on it so when he fucking like didn't give her the rose and shit it was like oh it was like it was so good man it was awesome yeah right see yeah that shit shit does hit but the problem is
Starting point is 00:30:55 you can't get I don't okay again guilty pleasure is a like it's a okay
Starting point is 00:31:02 well then okay well just okay I'm just hitting okay I'm just hitting okay what's your guilty
Starting point is 00:31:09 pleasures me me uh Jimmy Buffett but you don't feel guilty at all like this is not new I'm fucking with you
Starting point is 00:31:19 I was doing a bit I brought up guilty pleasures before I think it's making Trey man eight years ago and Corey then was like, I don't have any guilty pleasures because everything that hits for me, I don't feel guilty about.
Starting point is 00:31:31 It just hits. He's been saying this for a decade. So like, yeah. And then he's been group chatting the slurs for the last eight years. So it goes one of two ways in that scenario. Print them right. Yeah. The group chat for every man and probably most women has to be a guilty pleasure.
Starting point is 00:31:47 I'm doing a bit about it right now, actually. That's like, you know, you shouldn't say these words, you know, unless you're in the group chat with your boys or in the shower, rapping or whatever the fuck, you know. If one of y'all have done that, I'm sorry if I stole it from you. But like, yeah, no, the, I would feel, I would feel tremendous guilt if any of my
Starting point is 00:32:06 group cats leak. You're right. That is a safe space for us to be the worst people ever. You know what? You don't have to feel any guilt whatsoever for. This should be your guilty pleasure. Yeah. It's so good at it. Speaking of, you know, I'm just saying, Corey said you should feel
Starting point is 00:32:23 guilt or anything. My lenses. From 2004 to 2008.

Starting point is 00:36:59 I don't know if they can test for those, but that's what I'm expecting my results to be. But anyway, yeah, actually, what I'm really expecting is that I'm going to go and they're going to be like, oh, we're not going to test you today. No, no, I mean, I know I'm not. Like, I just think I'm going to go and they'll be like, oh, no, today's a consult. Yeah, oh, that's going to happen. Right. I hate all that shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Norm McDonald's very last comedy special, which, you know, was... Posterous. Right, and he did it in lockdown in his house just in front of a computer screen like this because he knew he was going to die. Only one that could do that in a head. Obviously a little different, but he, my favorite bit from his very last special that was on there was about like doctors, about like going to the doctor, you know, for like the ankle thing.
Starting point is 00:37:42 He's like, yeah, I think it's this. It's like, okay. can you fix that? He's like, no, no, you got to go to this other guy, that you got to go
Starting point is 00:37:47 this ankle guy or whatever. It's like, okay, well, I'll just go to him. It's like, no, no,
Starting point is 00:37:51 you got to come in here first and I got to say that you can go to the ankle guy. I got to refer you to the ankle guy. And then you go, it's just all these like, unnecessary, stupid fucking steps. It's so dumb.
Starting point is 00:38:03 But I will say, I only called them like less than two weeks ago to make this appointment. And that I was stunned. I was fully expecting them to say, can you come in October 4th? Because that also usually is what happens. Yeah. Oh,
Starting point is 00:38:14 So I'll take it and we'll see how it goes. I went to Alabama to pick up my aunt who had fallen and screwed her jaw up. She was there watching my niece's kids. Hall of Fame sentence. Hold up. Hall of Fame sentence. I went to Alabama to pick my aunt up who would mess her jaw up. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Gypsy's feet button print that shit. Falling. Falling and. I thought you said job. So it was her jaw. Jaw, yeah. I thought she, you know, she was out of work now, which is why she didn't have a car and you had to go to pick her up because she fell and didn't have a job.
Starting point is 00:38:45 And she messed your job up. It's like that's the new euphemism for failed a drug test. She messed up. You know how to have that. She broke her job. She had to give surgery. It was like a bad situation. She was there watching my cousin Tasha's kids.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Tasha, cousin Tasha was in France, right? Anyway, relating back to your story, her son-in-law, the one whose kids she was watching, is a hospitalist at UAB Medical. He is one of the, like, top five guys. in the hospital. He personally called the doctor she was going to go to up here in Knoxville for her follow-up on the surgery. And they were like, we can't see her if we didn't do the surgery. We could only see her in October for the PT, physical therapy related to it.
Starting point is 00:39:32 But that follow-up visit, and he's like, she doesn't live here. And also, this happened at my hospital. I'm okaying it. And the lady was like, we can't do it. And he goes, respectfully, this is illegal. And she was still like, I, this is what I, she was like, without saying it, respectfully, I make $8 an hour, dog. What do you want me to do?
Starting point is 00:39:55 The red, right. It's not the hoops you got to be. Right. Because it's not that lady's fault. And it's not any of the doctor's fault. It's some bureaucratic bullshit. But like the red tape at hospital. It also, I think, is illegal.
Starting point is 00:40:06 It's definitely like a liability thing where they're like, we don't want, you know, we're, it's not worth. $100 that we're going to get from you to take on this. Right. But it is a legal, I think, to do that. That was a big thing on Scrubs, which, like, you know, doctors have pointed out is, like, the most accurate portrayal of doctors ever because they actually had a lot of doctors' consults on there that, like, these top surgeons or whatever would just be denying people's surgery all,
Starting point is 00:40:37 like the only person that could do it. Like, they would just go, I'm not doing it. And the reason was they're like, I don't want to fuck up my stats. The reason I'm the best surgeon is because of my stats, and this is so risky that if it don't go my way, I'm going to, my stats are going to go down.
Starting point is 00:40:52 But it's like, the other surgeons don't hit as hard. And it's like, what the fuck, man? Yeah, it's insane. You just made me think, we were talking about TV shows earlier that hit for us. And you said,
Starting point is 00:41:01 obviously I fucking love Scrubs. Scrubs is an Alzheimer. I'm incredible. You said, and it's true, but doctors have said it's most realistic medical show out there. That made me want to give a shout out to. the pit a new new player in town the pit on HBO
Starting point is 00:41:15 which I cannot possibly recommend highly enough to everyone that show fucking DJ loves it you talk to him let's have DJ on to talk about the pit I'm catching up I'm not like I just started it it took me a very long time
Starting point is 00:41:29 to get through that first episode and I think you know why there's a little there's a little boy that's not Bain's age but they're close enough to where like I could see him in it you know right and I And I was watching it late at night.
Starting point is 00:41:43 You know, I was like, I'll check this out because I love Noel Wiley. I love DR. I love Michael Crichton, all the people that are like tangentially involved in or whatever. And it was hitting so hard for me. But that I was like, oh, God. Like, you know when you see, there's apparently a big movement of Sopranos fans that, like, they just skip the Dr. Melfy scenes. And I'm like, first off, that's what the whole show is about. But secondly, how could you just skip any part of a show?
Starting point is 00:42:06 It all ties together. But there was part of me that was like, it'd be awesome if they would be. put out a version of this show that was that just edited that storyline out so i could enjoy it you know but i did get through it and it was great have you guys heard yeah no the show rua wiley he's awesome on a whole other level in that show but it's absolutely fucking incredible but anyway he's like if dr cox was real you know and not right well kind of everybody in that show is sort of like that where it's like it feels almost like a documentary yes don't even feel like you're watching act yeah anyway um it don't feel written i'll say that right it no it just feels like
Starting point is 00:42:40 you're just watching the inner workings of a fucking an emergency room in a hospital. It's fucking awesome. But anyway, what did you just say about, oh,
Starting point is 00:42:51 you may be, well, you got, y'all heard about Gen Z. They'd be like, they'd be like, they'd be like skipping through, you're talking about skipping through shit
Starting point is 00:42:59 and shows like, yeah. Skipping through like the fucking and stuff. Yeah. They don't like, they don't like porkin in their, in their media anymore. For the record,
Starting point is 00:43:09 I don't care for it. I thought they were all gay, but they're gay. They're gay. Yeah. Right. I'll say this. Of course, this is one of those things they do where it's like I speak about the whole generation as though it's all of them.
Starting point is 00:43:20 But that's what the headlines say. They're like, Gen Z don't want any butt fucking in their TV shows anymore or whatever. And it's like, they're like, they're like the first generation ever that's more Puritan than the last. They don't drink either. They ain't,
Starting point is 00:43:35 they're drinking. They skip through all the titty scenes. But they eat ass and shit. No, No, the skipping 30 scenes. The ones that are freaks is what that is about. The skipping through titty scenes, I have no theory for. I know that Drew does.
Starting point is 00:43:47 The not drinking, I genuinely, I get it because me and my buddy Chris game this out the other night. Because me and him were literally talking about it through statistics and like alcohol sales over the years and stuff like that. And how like our generation is really keeping the fucking booze industry afloat, you know. And I was like, I was telling him, I was. I compared it to, like, how wrestlers don't really drink and drug as much as they used to now. And it's because the wrestlers of today saw their heroes die at 36 and 38, right? Yep. And so, Gen Z, it's, I think it's related in a way to the opioid crisis where it's not, alcohol wasn't the main reason, but it's like, they kind of said fuck it to all everything.
Starting point is 00:44:32 They were like getting fucked up, be straight edge. Like, don't do that. because they saw, when I saw my, I saw my friends die of opioid and all that shit, but they saw their older brother and cousin die. And you're like, give me a pill. I'm sorry, but like, you know what I mean? Like, it was more traumatizing to this because they were younger. Yeah, I've said before that meth was its own anti-drug campaign here where I grew up,
Starting point is 00:44:53 but the opioids didn't have that because it took 15 years. Exactly. Well, it's also, it's weird, to be fair, like, I felt like for years, every generation, the one before it was like maybe a little drunker. But like, you know, like, how come that didn't ever happen until just now is what I'm saying? Because you were, because like, bro. The internet. The internet.
Starting point is 00:45:14 We have more information now. My day. I know, but you were like, yeah, I don't know. I think like it used to be everybody's daddy was just drunk all the fucking time. Driving drunk, being drunk doing zunk. Right. Yeah, right. But it's like, so you had that in your house.
Starting point is 00:45:29 And the conventional wisdom used to be, oftentimes you were more likely to end up a drinker yourself if you grew up in that kind of scenario. And if that's what like the psychology of that ostensibly was, then why now is it working the way that really it should work? Why is that only just now happening? My theory is that as people drank less and less in past generations because of this, at the same time in places like the South and Midwest, maybe we drank more like the loose, the looseness of religion, the loosening of religion.
Starting point is 00:46:03 So you had a population of people drinking less than their parents and then another population of people drinking more than their parents. My mom is a teetotaler. Two of her sisters are teetotlers. That means she wrecked while drinking tea, by the way, in case anybody that doesn't go. Right. Many DUIs driving under the influence of tea. It had nothing to do with their parents being drunks and everything to do with religion.
Starting point is 00:46:25 So maybe you had a population going down, but a different population going up. That's my theory on the drinking. But also, Corey, but the other things, Speaking of a personal experience, you kind of references yourself too. I mean, I was coming of age as my community was being torn asunder by the opioid crisis. Everybody's parents were ODing and dying. I understand that. I was in jail.
Starting point is 00:46:50 I know, I'm saying, but we had front row tickets to like the worst of it, but you were in it. And we were sad. And we were parted. And we were hard because we were saying. I know we were going in. I don't know about you. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:03 I didn't do pills. I didn't smoke weed till I was 26. All this has to do with my brother. But I drank because I was sad and I thought I could. It was like that won't do anything but in a marriage or two. I'm okay with that. Sure. To me, though, there's a difference in like we were coming.
Starting point is 00:47:22 We were already coming of age during that point. We were coming. We were coming so hard. We can't say that enough. We were already coming of age. And so like it was we were at a different age. Like again, these kids like we were learning. about the statistics in real time.
Starting point is 00:47:35 These kids had it the whole time. You know what I mean? Like these kids had it the whole time. And like this is a part of my theory is like it's a little wrapped up in this about like the shift in behavior influenced by television. Right. So just like like, okay, wellness has really taken off and therapy has really taken. And by the way, both of those are good thing. But I heard this psychologist one time talking about like how our generation.
Starting point is 00:48:03 specifically the younger millennials or whatever or the ones right there in the middle are like we're the first group of dads to get better you know what i mean like we're better dads and we're more loving dads and their reason was they're like it's not in totality of this they're like but if you examine the television that was presented but television always either represented what was actually going on or what was actually going on was because of what people would see on tv like you really are influenced by it and our generation before we were dads, we saw Jim Halpert be a very loving man. And we saw Ty Borell on Modern Family be a very loving, devoted dad. And before that, dads were just fuckasses. Like, they were Al Bundy. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:48:47 And it was like, whatever. And so also, you saw in TV shows, more people, more characters being open about their mental health and all this stuff. And like, that does influence thing. Like, culture influences art and art influences culture. And so I think with the, uh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, destigmatization of reaching out for mental health and wellness, eventually people get to the point where they go, oh, it's drinking's the thing that has fucked everything up. And so it's just, it's marginally less. You know what I mean? They still be getting fucked up, but it's marginally less. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's a little bit of everything, as Dawes said. Yeah, well, I'll be honest. I don't, some of that first stuff about all the shit they saw growing up, I, I'm not,
Starting point is 00:49:33 I don't really buy that. I'm not really on board with that. But you grew up in where the opioid crisis started. Like, you were literally right there in the middle of it, right? What I'm saying is it took you. So you're this is. Because yes, it is kind of a thing where it's like these little pussies don't know shit about fucking. Fair.
Starting point is 00:49:49 No, no, no. But that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Like we're the ones that went through it. Exactly. Right. But it grew. It grew like this.
Starting point is 00:49:57 You know what I mean? Like it took a long time because they're not, they didn't. A lot of people. process trauma by getting fucked up. But a lot of these kids are not processing any sort of trauma. It was just a fucking, what's it called a, when somebody is a, when you do some shit and you fuck your shit up and then everybody else learns from it. What's that phrase?
Starting point is 00:50:21 You're a, carcassist? No, you're a, bad example. A warning, a something warning. A cautionary tale. A cautionary tale. There you go. A cautionary tale. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Jerry, what was you going to say? erase your hand you know I'm not sure well I feel like I was just I feel like I was just going preach I think that this is a fun conversation it's one worth having but I also definitely think it's one of those things that it's going to be 15 or 20 years before we have enough information and then we've been able to synthesize it enough to actually have well of course you know the whole answer I think it definitely has something to do with this I think it definitely has something to do with access information with that I think Corey brought up I think scrolling on the phone a lot, I think for one, well, also, this is related to the alcohol, they're not going out.
Starting point is 00:51:10 They're doing it all on the zone. And they're, well, that's probably part of it. But also, like, dance clubs, raves have never been bigger. But like regular, just normal dance clubs never had a harder time than right now. And restaurants and bars and stuff. They're just not doing. You're saying because they're socially stunted, Drew, because like growing up on their phones and shit? Because they're living in the phone.
Starting point is 00:51:33 And then I also think they are poorer. So that's going to have some dampening effect. I think the social stunt is related to the sex stuff too. I think they're not banging as much because they're socially stunted. But they can't afford to have a kid. They're scared. I think it's even more like prevalent there. I think social stuntedness is even more of a reason that they don't be banging.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Yeah, but like, we are children. Like, let's acknowledge that. Like our generation and millennials, look at our movies, look at what we do with our time. We play video games with our kids, which is fine. But I mean, like, there is a certain amount of like we kept our, I mean, for it for me, I go to raves. You know, far be it for me to judge. We are as a generation holding on the aspects of youth. They're doing it times 50.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Right. That's interesting. They don't let the drive. Like, I couldn't wait to get my license. Dude, obsessed with. I spent. Just a crew. I don't even know how many hours I spent on the 89 Nissan pickup that my papal got for me before I turned 16 on like I went to like multiple junk yards to find a pair of a set of rims that I could fucking polish by hand until they, you know, were shiny.
Starting point is 00:52:47 The chrome was shiny on stuff. I put in a whole new system in and I tinted all the windows myself. I fucking like I spent hours in that garage fucking with that truck because it was my baby. Your first truck was the 892? 89 Nissan. Yeah. I was like 819. Nissan,
Starting point is 00:53:02 they didn't even, Nissan didn't even bother putting a model on those. Right. Like it's like 89 Nissan. It's just 89 Nissan. It's just like, you know what's funny? I was thinking about the other day how like,
Starting point is 00:53:12 they used to go, I got me a 50, a 59 Chevy. They would just say a 59 Chevy. They wouldn't say the model. It was just like if you just had a Chevy. I bet say back then they probably just had the one. And it was also it was just like,
Starting point is 00:53:23 they only had one truck. Also it's like if you just had a Chevy and 59 you hit. Like it didn't matter. It had a 59 Chevy. Uh, that's, yeah, my first truck was an 89, uh, Chevy and it didn't have power steering in it, but I didn't know. Like, it didn't, like, it didn't, like, yeah, didn't, but I didn't know that. Like, I wasn't, so I just learned to drive on that shit. Yeah. And then when I got in a car that did have power steering, boy. Oh, I was like, ah, ha, ha, right.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Bro, mine didn't, mine was a stick, a manual transmission with no power steering. It was fucking, it was like, I couldn't, yeah, active, active process driving that. And I'm sure my, that was very, I'm sure that was very, uh, deliberate. my papal and like it hits for me that it hits for me that he did that yeah quit being a queer do this you know no i love i love that fucking well i was thinking about this earlier about like like like what drew was hinting that was is sort of like an arrested development thing right like and i and dude i'm like probably i'm all with i'm all with drew on what he was saying me i agree all the phone shit and all that stuff i think is definitely an a massive part of this i do but
Starting point is 00:54:24 like at the same time like you know i don't i don't want to sit here and like a generation drinking less and not having as promiscuous sex is like a bad like I know it's funny that we like oh you goddamn pussy get out there and fucking drink but like also like I do feel I've said I've talked to a lot of gen I don't know I'm sure y'all've got this like where do y'all have this where you know we're doing shows individually now where like we have our so we don't we're not together and can speak on it but like I've had a lot of younger people come to my shows because their mom or their dad was a fan of mine or whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:02 You know what I mean? We always had that, but it's starting to happen a lot more because... And they died and their last wish. Yes. Oh, a lot of death. But, like, you know, next year is the 10-year anniversary of the liberal redneck manifesto, right? So there's a lot of these kids who were eight when we started touring. I mean, obviously, we didn't stand-up longer, but, like, they were eight when we started touring.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Their parents fucked with us, and now they're 18 and 19 or whatever coming to the shows, because they're like, I'm a mom fucking. I know that you picked 18 because that's the first year they can home to a show. But it's just like, look, man, there's a lot of people legal. I'm just saying a lot of people out there legal. You know, it's really funny about me in numbers is stupid. I was looking at the, I think I pointed this out in the group chat, but I can't
Starting point is 00:55:41 remember. I was looking at the NFL draft this year. And I was like, I told my sister, I go, I text her, I go, you know, there's only one person this year in the NFL draft that was born before Shrek. And she immediately texted me back and she goes, I love so much that you could have used 9-11, but you chose Shrek and I go holy fuck I'm such a child that when I hear of 2001 my brain goes that's when Shrek came out
Starting point is 00:56:06 I didn't even know it was the same year it was yeah of course what do you mean 9-11 the day the blueprint by JZ came out what a day? I always think about drinking age with with that and you know I guess ironically they don't drink where it's like I'm saying that drinking I'm kid there are kids that were
Starting point is 00:56:26 you know kids that were born after 9-11 have been able to drink now for five years for four years four years yeah but anyways um my point is i talked to younger people like now what used to it was all older people but now the younger people were starting to come to my shows and i find them to be um the most like i don't know if self yeah self-aware kind of they're self-aware they're very mindful they're very um I don't know. I can't explain it. Like, like, I don't know, man. Like, I don't think it's all a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:57:05 And like, uh, I don't either. I'm not shit talking. I think it's. No, no, I know. Interesting to me. Because to me, it's like, I'll put back. Like, I'm like, 18 to 23, like college age.
Starting point is 00:57:15 It's like, that's what you do. Well, you know, we get fucked up and pork and stuff. We always, but we always, I don't, I just kind of hate it for them that they're missing out all that. Yeah. It sure was a good time. That's all I'm saying. I'm going to push back a little.
Starting point is 00:57:27 I mean, I do. think it's good, obviously, if people are drinking less in general. It's healthier, less alcoholism, less pain, less violence in the world. And less unwanted pregnancies is good, too. But not making those, like, if either stunted growth or a fear-based outlook is what is sort of is what's pushing that. That's not good. There's going to be a flip side of that coin.
Starting point is 00:57:53 I can't deny the positives at all, but there's going to be a flip side of that coin. assuming we have a society in 20 years to speak of. I agree. Where they needed to make mistakes. I mean, waking up embarrassed and having to look at your friends in the eyes and stuff like that. There's a control aspect to here that's just not realistic. But there's a lot of positives.
Starting point is 00:58:17 I'm not saying it's all bad or I'm against it. I just, I think there's something to be said of going out. You just changed my mind. It's like you said, Cor, you said the phrase sowing their oats. I've always thought that so in your wild oats is like a very real thing. No, it really is.
Starting point is 00:58:34 I've always believed that that is a real thing. I take back, you never hear me say this. I was wrong about all the bullshit that I've been for the past third. I'm genuinely serious. Because like, everything you said was true. I just think that there's a flip side too. There is a flip side and we won't know it until later. Because like all the all the dudes that I knew like in high, like that waited till they
Starting point is 00:58:51 were 21 to start drinking, like literally almost every time. someone who waited until they were 21 to start drinking, they got alcohol poisoning, or this one dude I know, he vomited so hard that he busted all the blood vessels in his eyes, and his eyes were just blood red for like six months. Like, there is a certain thing about- And also a lot of the dudes I know that, like,
Starting point is 00:59:12 they were super Christian or whatever, and they literally, they were like that till they were like 28 or 29, and then something happened and they flipped. They flipped way worse because they didn't know how to handle it. Right. Yes. So, as a matter of fact, fuck everything I said.
Starting point is 00:59:27 But, you know, but it is, it's, you know, don't die or nothing. You know what it is? It's like, we had no moderation and they have exclusively that, you know, like, they're not doing anything. It's like, no, there needs to be a space in between. They're using shame a lot. Like, with the sex stuff, they're using, like, a lot of, like, they use consent, which is a very important thing in conversation. But they use that as some sort of shaming thing. Very new word.
Starting point is 00:59:50 So, like, Burning Man is a perfect example. Obviously, I've went once. I've wanted to go again, but I can't because of the kid. But, like, one big thing there is, is, like, a lot of young people being like, there's naked people. And you could never be naked in front of someone without their consent. And I'm like, okay, if you go to a strip club, would you say that? Like, this is a place people get, like, there's just a lot of shame.
Starting point is 01:00:10 There's a lot of, like, um, like they say millennials are just, like, insane hornballs because we watch porn and there's something wrong with us. And it's like, look, some millennials are insane hornballs who are addicted to porn. But using shame, a method to address that is not going to solve any of your sexual problems. In fact, it's going to create more. I can't believe I haven't asked you specifically this, Drew, and I'm so glad you just reminded me of it because we're about to get out of here soon. This is a little bit of a digression, but it's adjacent. But I'm totally with you, Burning Man,
Starting point is 01:00:38 Bonneroo, anywhere like that. If I see naked people, that's, I expect it. Like, I'd be disappointed if I didn't. It's like, you know, it's part of it. I would never be like, be a recession in the car. I would never be like, this motherfucker. Who does he think he is? saw a dude at Bonnarroo once with his midsection, like his pelvis painted up like an elephant's head and his dangling dick was its trunk, you know, classic, unsurcantized. That's our lawyer.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Was elephant trunk? Yeah, right. Great time. hilarious. But where are you at on like, I texted y'all this, but like, I turned a corner in a trendy part of Seattle, Washington a couple weeks ago.
Starting point is 01:01:16 And. Tried a homeless man in the face. Bumped into a full. naked man who was not homeless or a drug addict or mentally ill. He was a young lad out of the town. That last part, you don't know. I do know. You could tell by looking at him. He was with his
Starting point is 01:01:30 buddy. He had a cross-body bag flung over his shoulder. They were strolling down the street like me and you on our way to a fucking hot dog stand. Okay. The other guy is right, but I'm literally ill, you know. Whatever. He's naked. Drew, what do you think about that? Look, because people don't like that. I was
Starting point is 01:01:45 what I booked, you know, you know, you'd be naked. Because Donnie was with me and he saw me bumping. this guy we both I was like what the fuck was that how long did it take Donnie to express what he wanted to say oh yeah he was tore up yeah three blocks three blocks the first time he was stuttering for legit reasons and not because of whatever happened to him um this was not nothing happened by the guys that was a joke
Starting point is 01:02:08 okay how I feel about that I mean oh George Wint just died go ahead what George Wint died I saw it on my phone sorry go ahead RIPA George Wynn that sucks Jason Sudeakis uncle, I believe. Yeah. Shout out Jason, Sir Dyer's.
Starting point is 01:02:24 Bighat. Wasn't he the gay friend in outside providence? Yes. Yes. He's so fucking good in outside providence. And that scene where he's back at the poker table and they don't address it until the end of the scene. Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Is one of my favorites? It's great. Is it the Fairley Brothers? Yes, Fairly Brothers. And you told, I would have, I literally never heard of that movie and you were like, we were talking about Fairly one night. Because Einstein made him change the ending.
Starting point is 01:02:50 And so they refused to have their names on it. Well, they did until the very end. And then they refused to put their names on it. They wrote, I think. And they're on the screenplay. It's really good. And true. Like, anyways, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:03:03 I'm sorry. But I just, I literally just saw George Wint died and I have ADD. Yeah, I'm upset. Rest and peace, George Wint. I'm going to get naked at his funeral. My honest thought on that, it's not very funny, but my genuine take, I guess, is people don't want you to do that.
Starting point is 01:03:17 And enough people don't want you to do that. reasons that even if I don't like there's a certain part of me that's like the human body is the fucking human body right it's kind of weird that with the way we all look has become such a strange thing right but enough people don't want that that it is a rule and you got to follow it because they're going to feel like it's and by the way for that guy it was sexual and that's another thing that bothers because we live in a society that has made that taboo that dude was getting something sexual out of that. So it is pretty fucked up to do it in that scenario.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Now, if you had seen him, like, down by the water somewhere around the bush, like, he just is a, I'll be like, yeah, you can't do that, but he's not trying. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, if we go down to the river and we hike away from the just, like, the main entry point and Andy takes her top off, she shouldn't do that. It's like, but if she did that, it's not like she's not trying to get something out of it. Whereas, you know, that guy was trying to get something out of it. So I think that he shouldn't have done that.
Starting point is 01:04:24 But I do think we should reevaluate. But let me say this. Go back to guilty pleasures and my stance on sin. Our relationship to sex in this country is so fucked up. Gen Z. All of us. Every generation has super fucked up relationship to sex in this country. If I could push a button and make it healthier, I would.
Starting point is 01:04:45 It's a club. But we would lose some fun. We would lose some. Like, like, I always raised very religious. A lot of what I think is fun is what I'm not supposed to do because of, so if you took that out of me, if you took the guilt and the shame and all the stuff that was put into me at a little age, I'd be healthier. Fugging wouldn't be as fun. I'd have to like have a connection or something. Gross.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Yeah. Yeah. Right. No, I hear. Okay. But now you hitting. That's pretty much tough for it. I think the rule should be your dick shouldn't be out if you're within, I don't know, point two miles of, a.
Starting point is 01:05:19 someone that's accredited by the Better Business Bureau. You know what I mean? Like a taco stand, that's fine. Have your dick out. We can go with that. Right into your local congressman, everybody, let them know that's the new plan. Corey, we call it the Cory Forrester Act of 2025. Cory Forrester Dix Out Act of 2025.
