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.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie. I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say.

Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better.

And it's called Rocket. money. Rocket money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want any more, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create custom budgets based on your past spending.

Rocket money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. And I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practice.

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 had a, I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, 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 cue ball looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was that in response to? What was that reply I give for just when I did something stupid. Something fat and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for

it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help.

Happy Pygmy Hippo day. That's what today is. Do you know that? No. Is that like a teeny tiny hippo?

Hippo. I didn't know that I guess I'd only, I guess maybe if I'd seen them, I thought I'd only ever seen baby hippos. That what Moodyn is? I don't, I thought, maybe. I thought Moodyn was like a baby. See, I've always thought they were baby hippos, but maybe I've been looking at pygmy hippos this whole time.

I don't know. Because I thought Moodying, it was like, oh yeah, you know, Moodyn, what a cute little thing. and then like one day Mo Dane going to pull a fucking Zipfried and just destroy someone's ass. Yeah, no, yeah, I guess Mo Deng is a pygmy hippo, yeah. Well, that hits. Will it get bigger than it is now? Pigmy.

I thought you guys are saying, pick me. Pick me hippos. Yeah, those are hippos that like, I ain't like other hippos. Exactly. You see all these other, you see all these other hippos out there, be farting? I ain't like them hippos. They kind of are like that. they are

why's pick me hippo Puerto Rican I don't know that's extra funny because like Puerto Ricans are the least pick me girls if you're going to do

stereotypes of all they ain't changing for nobody no that's true they're not although I mean I feel like they're not like

other girls because they they stuff on fire and other I was yeah I was about to say Puerto Rican girls

are definitely the type to be like you don't want to fuck with a Puerto Rican girl which is like in its own way

pick me thing because like isn't pick me just basically just saying like i i mean essentially i'm not like other girls like whatever generalization you have about other girls i ain't that no i think well i think it's specific i ain't like other girls because i'm low maintenance i like sports i'll usually it's because they act like a boy they're trans well no they're pretending to be cool i mean the look this is the joke i don't know what they actually do i don't even know if it's like necessarily a real thing. The joke is like they pretend to be cool and low maintenance, especially to do to have women. Like, oh, yeah, I'm sorry she's like that. Me, I mean, I just like going out for wings. I would never give you a hard time because you forgot an anniversary. Well, I know because the term pick me girl,

I didn't know what it was until my sister, obviously, and Amber explained it to me because they are, you know, the harbingers of the female culture to me. Like when I don't know something, I ask them. And I'm not going to say the person's name, but they told. me, they go, so-and-so is a pick-me girl, and like, I immediately got it. I was like, oh, oh, okay, right. You know, this was like, like, the girls that, like,

they have the bumper sticker that's like, I'd rather wear just in boots than Gucci. Yes. Yeah, shit like that, right? And it's like, who are you telling? Who cares? Men. Right. And that means that you are, in fact,

one of those types of girls who's constantly performing. Exactly. It's like, It's like what that pussy do? You know what I'm saying? Like, who cares? I do know what you're saying. Yeah, that's not where I heard of you're going, but yeah, I know what you mean. But it is funny how most of those pick me girls that I know are all super MAGA.

Like most of them are super MAGA. And it's like, the whole day is I'll do whatever a man wants. Right, yeah. You can slap me around. That's fine. Yeah, right. They're all MAGA, but they're also just like, they're like, I dip. I fucking drive trucks, and it's like, again, you're trans.

This sounds like a good cop, red cop song. It does. I do a drive truck. Yeah, but like it's all just like your trans. You just didn't do the hard part. Well. Drew, you got to say something about a woman getting beat? Because I said, I made a joke like, you can slap me around and you were like,

speaking of, you sounded real excited. That fucking video, that papaw, slapping that maga lady. At that rally. Yeah. I've been sitting that to everybody. Like, hey, hey, look, in my heart, I wish it was a man he slapped. But it was just not seeing somebody slap somebody. You know what I mean?

It's just not seeing somebody get slapped. Yeah, I mean, I made the joke. After I threaded it to y'all, which is where I run all my bits by, after I threaded it to y'all, I made the joke on Twitter, I was like, this motherfucker really said to this lady, like, oh, you want it to be the 60s again? Okay, bet. And it actually surprisingly got a lot of likes,

and I didn't get much flat for it. But I put a tweet right after that that was like, for the record, I am not against slapping women, but I'm very pro making jokes about it. And everybody was like, I heard that. You know what I mean? I heard that. You said you're not against slapping women.

Oh, my bad. A little Freudian slip. Yeah. This is like two weeks in a row now where you've been, you've come out as pro abuse. I know. This week, it's the actual, yeah, people. Oh, I do.

And then you, you tried to, like, that's our word it. You tried, like, last thing you're like, I got hit. I'm allowed to want to hit people, which I don't think it's true. Well, let me tell you something else, Drew, I'm sure you don't know, because none of us listen to our own shows, but our own POA, he doubled down on that exact position the very next day. Like, like, angrily doubled down. And I was like, listen, I was beat.

none of you bitches gave a fuck about that. Yeah, but you know what? You know what? I'm about to do something that y'all would never see coming. I'm about to apologize to that woman specifically, seriously, because she emailed me. And I, in my brain, you know, we do a lot of podcasts and we've talked about a lot of stuff. In my brain, I really thought that last week I had told like that whole story of that girl beating me and like punching me in my sleep or whatever. But apparently I didn't.

I just made a throw away to it. And y'all, because y'all know about it. You know what I mean? Y'all know about it. So I just made it throw away and y'all. But I didn't explain to the audience about it. So when I did the thing on P-O-A, it looked doubly dickhead of me because she sent me an email. I said that to you on.

I told you, I was like, Corey, this is a whole different show, but people don't even know what you're talking about. I know that, but she listens to both shows, but she listens to both shows, which is why she sent me the email. Obviously, obviously I wasn't there on P-O-A, never been invited. but I do feel like it's odd that what you're saying or she's saying maybe is like well now that I found out you were beating your sleep you can have the opinion that women get hit no no no no strange like place for you guys to meet in the middle no no no that's not even the thing like she sent me this long email she was like you acted like on putting on airs that I knew this whole story when I don't she said but if that's all true she said it does change my perspective or whatever and I messaged her back I was like I'm so fucking sorry I said that I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like that is my fault because sometimes I'll just assume, you know, we just get on here and we'd be talking. I assume people know stuff. And of course, I went into detail about the story and in bit form. Of course, I was writing bits in the email, told her I was sorry and that that was 100% my fault.

And I take accountability for it. That is 100% my fault. So you've heard it here for the very first time. I was wrong. I apologize. That was incorrect of me. I'm so intrigued by this. It changed her perspective.

to what? I'm totally with Drew on this, by the way. It gives you a certain amount of license to make certain jokes that maybe I can't. But I don't understand that what you went through means you're allowed to say. Right, right, right, right. Because, maybe she says, no, because. If they hit you. No, no, no.

I'm doing the same thing to you right now that I did to her. I forgot that I didn't give you the context of people were. going through in the comments talking about, uh, Corey talking about abuse this. Corey talking about abuse this. And my angle was like, I literally talked about how I physically got beat and no one gave a fuck about that.

Like nobody said, oh, damn, Corey, I'm sorry you went through that, right? You know what I'm saying? I was like, that's weird to me.

Because I didn't fucking tell anybody. Because I didn't fucking tell anybody. Right. Because I didn't tell anybody. You know what I mean? But in my brain I had, in my brain I had, and I was literally looking.

through that and I was like, so, so like, I can get beat physically and that's, and every, and no one says a fucking word, but me talking about this fictitious beat and everybody's, you know, but like, yeah, I totally just fucked up. Like, I dropped the ball. Like, I just made myself look like a fucking idiot, which I am. But we keep saying, like, Drew keeps saying, it's like, because you were hit, that means you're, you're allowed to say that sometimes you got to smack a bitch or whatever. No, no, no, but I said emotionally. That's what I was, that's what I, that's exactly what I was about to say, but that ain't what even happened. You know, Corey was saying that emotional abuse is fine.

I mean, it didn't say fine, but, you know. No, I said there's nuance. Right. Like, here's no nuance to that. It's like you either hit a woman or you didn't. Emotional abuse, I think you got to have a jury at 12. You know what I mean? Like to determine, you know, what the fuck did she say to make you say,

fuck you bitch. You know what I'm saying? Right. Yeah, no. I mean, quite literally, it was brought up because I brought up... Zach Brown and chicken fried lady. Yeah. Yeah.

That was literally my introduction to the topic was like, look, if someone's like, this dude emotionally abused me, I'm down to listen. And I've said this to it before. I think he did. I think Jack Bryan broke her phone and told her she, you aren't not wear that on the red carpet or whatever. I just happened to think she went after that dude in an attempt to exploit him, and this happened to be the way she could exploit. him. Right. His own fault up.

Right. And all I said was, because there's a lot of people, I mean, you know, not everyone, but there's a lot of people that are like emotional abuse, physical abuse, it's all the same thing. There's, you know, it's the same type of dude. And I'm just saying, like, if a woman says some bullshit to you, it don't matter what she says to you, you shouldn't punch her in the face. But there is a line of if she says a bunch of stuff to you, yeah, you can absolutely

emotionally abuse her. You know what I mean? Because she's emotionally abusive. you. You should just leave. That's true that you could just leave. All I was trying to say was they are different things, and I'm willing to hear the,

I'm not willing to hear Chris Brown's side of the story. I've seen the Rihanna picture. You know what I mean? My honest take on this is not just a cop out. Like, genuinely, if we're going to not make jokes and shit on Brianna chicken fry, which is what I want to do, or slap Corey around because he clearly needs it, more of it.

But if we're not going to make jokes, I'm not, I'm not, I have no idea. My marriage is good. I have no idea where the gray area lies. Yeah, me too. My take the whole time has been, when you are an influencer who has set out to get famous and thrown your friends under the bus to do so, I'm going to like put on my will see goggles when you start talking about this guy was abusive to me.

No, he didn't hit me. I would like to say, though, I mean, like obviously, you know, we kid a lot and I kid a lot. but like I'm genuinely sorry for what I did. Like I'm not sorry for the jokes that I made. I'm sorry that I thought that I mentioned something didn't, and then on another show lost my mind. Like I'm genuinely sorry, and I was in the fucking complete wrong. You gaslit our entire audience, which is emotionally abusive.

I agree. I couldn't agree more. And now you're apologizing. I'm just, I'm not sure I believe you. That's fine too. pattern of behavior. This bit's not working. No one out of it.

Okay, I'll let you out of it. Here's a fun fact. Pigmy hippos can run almost as fast as Usain Bolt. Did you know that? What? Are you saying, pick me? Are you saying pick me hippos? Pigmy hippo.

The little hippos. The little, cute, little pressure. How little? What does what mean? Well, how little? I actually meant almost as fast as you same boat. So like how old? 18 and a half miles per hour.

And I guess Usain hits like 20. or something like that. That is insane. Either way. Either way for a fucking little-ass pig-looking hippo. That's pretty good. So how big they're

about three feet tall? That's correct. Bro. And imagine Brad Williams and you say, imagine Brad Williams and Usain Bolt racing. Like that's insane. And I mean, we all know that

we know that hippos be fat, but like they're three feet tall, but it says, they can weigh between 350 and 600 pounds. What? So it's like... You got bad info. Come on.

This is the San Diego Zoo's website that I'm looking at. Three feet tall? Well, they can be five feet long. That's like if Warren Sapp and Wark Dunn had a baby. That's insane. Three feet by five feet is like, I mean, that would be a big ass hog. I guess it's just a little hippo. Because, you know, reg.

Y'all ever seen a regular hippo in person? I mean, they big as hell. But you're saying that that size of one can run almost as fast as you've seen bowl. Yeah. Because, bro, imagine getting hit by that motherfucker. Right. Yeah. Real quick, I paddled on waters with hippos in them and the guys were cool about the crocs,

but they were like, very like, hey, not fucking around. Do not fuck with these hippos. Yeah. And we got kind of close to a hippo family and I started shaking our little on top of water kayak to fuck with this girl Katie because she was a bad person and she hit me in the back of the head with a paddle and it was very funny Katie did or like a guide Katie did hey here hey you do you think that's a sort of like how in Yellowstone they actually warn you more about the buffalo than they do the bears and their reasoning is is that like they assume that you know not to fuck with a bear but

people think that buffalo, right, because like, I've heard, more buffaloes kill people than bears. Because people go up to buffalo. Hipos, hippo is the deadliest animal in Africa. Yeah. Right. But part of the reason why is what you're saying, no one's fucking with a lion, they sometimes are trying to pet baby hippos.

Right. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, I guess I could see that sort of, but a buffalo, you're like, I mean, you know, they can charge, they can be in big groups, whatever. and they're big so they could run you over. But they're like, you know,

they're like wild cows or something in people. But like a fucking hippo dude. Like that big ass, they're huge. They're like fucking water tanks with that massive mouth. Like I would not, they're hungry, hungry all the time.

They're double down hungry. I would not. I just, I would, I don't feel like I need to be told not to fuck with a hippo. But I, yeah, but you.

are a careful person and you're not white, you're white trash. Right. You don't understand the confidence of true whiteness. Right. When it comes to animals. Yeah. Lord help us all if you ever get there. You might be president.

Taking pictures with them and stuff. Another thing I wanted to note about the science of it, I think it's also that they're relentless. Like, if you, if you piss the line off, it will bite you, but it might not kill you because it don't want to eat you. But like, the hippo wants you dead once it decides. it's enemy. You have to die. You or it have to die and it's going to be you. It's not like if you run away

they're like, thank you for leaving my area. They will come after you. You have to keep running away. They're territorial and you just fucked up their block and they got to send a message to all the other hippos that they ain't no bitch. It'd be wild. Ain't no pick me hippo.

They need to make a horror movie about like instead of Jason Voorhees, it's just a pissed off hippo Chase's a guy. A couple other fun facts. Tire mogul Harvey Firestone, the Firestone tires. Also a great Broadway producer.

Who owned a rubber plantation in Liberia. I'm sure no crimes against humanity happened there. Who owned a rubber plantation in Liberia once gave President Cal, that's relevant because that's where pygmy hippos are native to. He once gave President Calvin Coolidge a pygmy hippo named Billy, okay? And Billy is the papal. it says ancestry, but I'm saying, I'm saying papal. Billy is the papal of almost every single pygmy hippo currently living in America.

Like in zoo. He's like gangus pygmy. Gangus pygmy hippo, yeah. And this is another fun fact that I'm not a huge fan of. They got real thin skin and that helps them stay cool in the humid rainforest. However, the thin skin can also cause the hippo to dehydrate quickly in the direct sun. So when that happens, its skin oozes out a pink fluid in like beads of sweat, but it's pink colored. And this fluid is called blood sweat.

And it helps to, so they sweat blood. It's not literally blood, but it looks like they sweat blood. And that's not cute. I mean, they're generally very cute, but sweating blood, I know. Can we go back and do one more joke on the ancestors? Yeah, go ahead. He's the Adam of them, but the Bible says it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and little Stephen. All right, guys.

So, so they're, I would have always assumed that they had very thick skin. They look like a thick-skinned creature. That's a good point. That's all just fucking muscle under there, dog. They're just, they're just yoked. And fat. Well, yeah, fat. But, yeah, I think you think that because rhinos have thick skin, and it feels like their cousins, even though.

Do they, though? Rhinos? I think they do Yeah Okay They're basically dinosaurs They are Right And remember why I've said

We said this on here not that long ago But as rhinos are They're like Armored fucking land tanks From you know Eons ago But I saw a video not Not long ago at all

Where a bull elephant Was Tusk Absolutely bodied a fucking rhino Like without even trying Yeah Like, it was wild. I mean, it fucked it up. Or they, benelphants.

Or they would absolutely be on that list to top the hippos and the lines. You can't fuck with elephants. They just aren't killers as much. Sometimes they do it for revenge. The scariest I ever got in Africa was a white rhino following our Jeep. And the guy was like backing away. and the guide was like, we're going to be fine.

We need to go slow and continue moving. And somebody goes, do you think he could turn his car over? And it was almost like he wasn't thinking because he was concentrating on driving. He was like, oh yeah, they do it all the time. He goes,

but like, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, yeah, you already said it, buddy. We were being stalled by a tank. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It says they got Pygma Hip-Hipos. San Diego Zoo. I've been to that zoo. I don't remember seeing them. Now I'm upset. Well, it sounds like they looked like regular hippos. That's what...

That's what... That's what I was... That are five foot nine. And then these... Some woman, some woman was like, look at a little pygmy hippo. That's actually what I was thinking.

I was like, maybe I saw a damn pygmy hippo and thought it was just a regular hippo because again, three foot by five foot is actually... You could see that and think that's a juvenile regular hippo. it's not like it's not like pop belly pig status which even those are also like like what mood ding be looking like

right but again those are just baby ones i guess which i mean you know got a here's a people are watching they're gonna want us to see these are all ding ain't it that's a full grown pigmy that's moodang right there see these are all like babies i think maybe this one is full grown right here show me that full grown blow it up yeah but i need like a little black kid to stand beside it right you do need scale a bunch of bananas For a second, I was like, what? No, I mean, it don't have to be African. I just prefer it representation-wise. My mom was in San Diego. There's a mama and a baby. Yeah.

It says that looks like that picture is, it says that baby, according to his headline, that baby's like almost six months old in that picture. So, a little bit of an idea. It's got nothing to do with hippos, but it's an animal fact I just learned. And I'll shout it out.

I learned it from the Dallup. Me and you talked about dressage on P-O-A, and you may have said this, but I don't remember if you did, and if you didn't, I really want to say it right now. Do you know the original use? Because Drew, you know what Drosage is,

like where they make the horse crip walk and stuff, you know, like that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know what the original, like, use for, like, why dressage, but now it's for sport, but it used to be a war tactic. Do you know what it was? No, it is.

They would do with the Arabians? They would these fucking, the dudes over there, they would sometimes knock a dude down, but they weren't sure if they had killed him. So they taught the horse to like stomp on its fucking head. They taught the horse to be doing all the cripp walking, so it like crushed their skull. And now we just got like little teeny tiny women doing it. And Kevin Hart being like, damn, look at that horse. You know what I mean?

I wonder if Drisage and Triage have the same root words. triage is like where the ER treats you for your dying. I wonder if dressage is like related to that of like step on his wound. Put your hoof in his wound. Yeah. Yeah. Is it triage like a like a categorization of exactly how dire your situation is? Like you come into the hospital and triage is then being like,

this don't hit. Yeah. The level to which this don't hit and what that means for you. Right. Yeah. And what I'm saying is what if dresser's all. It's like, he ain't the triage yet, but if we'll drosage his ass, we'll get it, man. I wonder how many redneck doctors have fucked around and went, phew, Lord God, like to a patient, you know what I mean?

You know what's happening? God, damn, boy, come in here. You seen that? You don't believe that? You know, seen that old redneck doctor? He's definitely old country doctor. It was like a very viral clip. He's a, it's a, I think it's a black lady that he's, like, examining or something like that.

And she's like, what's you going to give me, doctor? and he goes, baby, I can't give it to you. Or he's like, you can't handle it, baby, or something like that. He's got a real deep, very white voice, but he's a white guy. He's like, I don't know what to tell you. I don't remember exactly what he says, but it's funny. He's old as fuck. I just saw there's a 102-year-old practicing neurosurgeon.

How y'all feel about that? That's what I thought, too. I mean, that's your brain. I'm sorry, dude, but ageism is a thing that should be in some fields. Well, it's funny because it goes both ways with doctors, in my opinion. You don't want them young or super old. You want them my age, you know. They're too old to hit still, but they haven't completely gone brain mush yet.

I bet that it's like a contract thing. There ain't no way they're letting him do any of that shit. I bet it's like he owns part of the business. And like if he's not practicing, he can't keep collecting that check. So he just goes through the room, write some shit down, and then they usher him into another room. I think he's like a figurehead slash mascot slash minor celebrity because I found out about him because he did an AMA on Reddit. And there's like a book about him and there's a documentary about him coming out and shit like that.

So I don't know how much actual medicine he still practices. But I don't know. On that Reddit AMA, they were asking him like brain questions and he answered, you know, in a seemingly knowledgeable way. It didn't seem to be funny if they were parading him around. and he was all mush-brained path already about you know what I mean. Dude, speaking to which neuroscientists and mush brains and stuff, uh, we haven't been political this whole time and we don't have to be.

I'm genuinely just asking a question, what the fuck happened to Ben Carson? Like, Ben Carson, what he'd be doing? Oh, Drew. He's a doctor.

Yeah, I know he's a doctor, but like, wouldn't you have thought that that dude would have made like a bigger He made a big splash in the first Trump term. No, he's black. Yeah, that's true. But then he just sort of went away.

I guess I kind of respect it. Like, he went back to being a doctor instead of just being on like the CPAC circuit or something. Well, apparently, you know, they always, they always said that as a doctor, he's like one of the most brilliant ones in his field. They made a movie about him. Yeah, right. Cougar Jr. played his ass in a movie. Right. That's, he's a wild ass case because, like, everybody.

anybody that knows anything about that it's cardiac medicine, right? Like heart doctor shit and people are always like, they're like, this dude is the Michael Jordan. Yeah. And Michael Jackson combined of heart doctors. That's part of why I'm asking. And then for that guy to somehow also be a colossal dumbass about just everything else is like. To be in charge of HUD and not like. It's so wild.

Well, he's not a colossal dumbass so much as he's an insane narcissist. Do you remember he like made up all those stories? About like fat bears. Bears. You used to have a bit about that, didn't you? Yeah, around that time I was talking about how you could tell you grew around white kids because he'd never been clown by black dudes. That's what happened.

He got back to the room full of white kids after a summer and was like, yo, I fought a bear. And they were like, all right, I guess we got to believe in black. And then you did the part where you were with the black, if he did it with black, because this motherfucker said he fought a bear. And it's so true and it's so funny. I did that on mushrooms at the scrubs. Ruffy City guy.

I know. I was there. It was like fucking one in the morning. It's hardest I've ever laughed. Like, that set murdered me. It was so funny. I had a similar bit that it wasn't about being Carson or nothing, but it was about politicians and how like the politician playbook has been, they haven't updated it since

1776 or whatever. And part of that playbook is just say whatever, it don't matter. Like you say whatever and they'll believe you and there's no repercussions. because people don't be looking stuff up. But, like, politicians now still be doing that, even though we got Wikipedia and, like, cameras and shit. You know what I mean? Trump broke that, though.

Trump broke something. Right. But, like, it was... I mean, it didn't work for Carson, again, I think, because he's black. Right. And his lines are Republicans. But, like, you know, Peter Jennings took a page out of that toolbook, too. Like, and it worked for him for a long time.

And then the goddamn dude from the league, like... he did too. Like there was a time when like you really could just say some shit and it was like fine as long as no, as long as a true investigative journalist didn't have a vested interest in figuring out if you were full of shit, you totally just got away with it. You know what I mean? Dude, people still do that. I know.

I'm just saying it's, but now it's so much easier to catch them. Well, if that's what's holding you back, look at me let me be your lawyer and tell you, don't let it. time, make up whatever you want. Well, I do on stage, but I tell people this is a half- this is a half-truth. Because here's the thing, if you're getting ruined, that's because you made it. Yeah, that's true. That's just like we kept telling me out, like, God, I wish we'd get canceled

because that means that we've hit a certain thing. You've hit, yeah. Like, we can't be canceled because we're nothing. You know what I mean? Yeah. That girl, during me, too, there was that girl went to high school with who got on my page and tried to, like, it was some bullshit, just, everybody knows, but

it wasn't, even the, even the, like, even the accusation was like, not that bad. Right. But,

but, but anyway. Like, Trey laughed at me in a party because it, no, it said, here's what,

in blackface. No, I said, I, she said, it was like, my buddy was there, it was back from the Marines,

and I was doing this hole in front of everybody there. It's like, like, jokingly saying she should support the troops by, sucking his dick or whatever. Yeah, I've done that. You know, like, support the trip.

Yeah, right. And it's like, and you know. So, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Even at the time it was happening, I was like, well, it hits because I'm being funny in this story that she's trying to get me. Yeah, right. Matter of fact, tell everybody. Tell everybody that shit.

Go on a podcast and say I said that. Everybody would be like, God damn, he really is funny. Yeah. But anyway, but, you know, it just went absolutely nowhere because I don't hit. It's the point of trying to make. It might have also gone absolutely nowhere because everybody's like, he was kidding around when you guys were in high school. Yeah.

Yeah. And didn't actually do anything. It was just words. And also, it was a troop. Right. You know what I mean? That's what people would have been mad about. We looked into this.

Turns out, stolen valor, Trey. Wait a go. He was a troop. He was a true. Girl to suck. Some dude's dick. Not a guy who murdered babies in Kazakhstan. Well, here's the other part that don't know.

it, but like, nah, fuck it. It was years ago. It doesn't matter. It ain't about me. It's about her. She did some crazy shit. It's suck as it.

No. She fucking, she just cock-blocked the shit out of me with this other girl at that same part. Is what she did. Was it, was it because of this? Man, fucking suck my dick.

Right. Actually, Corrid's a very good question. Like, I can't remember if I then did that. I don't remember which thing was retaliatory. Which came from? first the chicken or the truck getting his dick sucked.

Right. Like I don't remember if she did that because I had done that or if I did that because she had done that. I don't remember, but I know that both things did happen. Well, there you go. Offsetting penalties. Replay first down. That's right.

Yep. Yeah. Well, well, well. No problem. I tell you guys a story. Go ahead. Is it half time? Do we need to do a commercial?

I don't know. I don't think, I don't know if we didn't have any this week. We do need to take just a little break for station identification. So we will be right back right after this. Yeah, we're back. All right. So I was in New Orleans and I went to this bar, like away from my house with my buddy Miller. And we walked in and I was like, I think I recognized that girl.

I just realized since I haven't been on here a while, I haven't told you the first story. So I met this girl just on the. the block when I first got down there during Marty Raw. She and her roommate were on their way down to the quarter and they were very drunk. And I was walking Razzie around. It's very strange for a woman to just like

openly hit on you when you have your kid. But this drunk, big girl was just doing that. So she like, drunk and lean is like, oh my God, she says so cute. What's up? I'm your neighbor. This and that. That night I'm walking Mick and I see two women like struggling to get out of

car and i had seen them leave in an uber but this was definitely like a personal vehicle so i'm doing that thing of like i think these people need help but also it's 11 at night and i'm a dude like you can't approach strangers right they need a little help with that drunk girl you know yeah this happens to me in the park a lot when a woman can't get her stroller fixed i'm like well guess what you're just going to be out here with a bad stroller bitch because i'm not stopping so i'm looking at this situation and then I realize it's her and I remembered her name and I said her name and she looked up and I was like do you need some help and she's like yes so I end up carrying her roommate into her house and like she's like crying it's a very odd thing because she's clearly hammered but she's

not like floppy hammered like I think she might have been having a panic attack it was very strange right so I had told that story to Miller I think we gone by her house, I just got done telling him the story. I was like, oh, this house, like three weeks ago, I carried this girl in there. And we walk in the bar and I'm like, holy shit, there's the other girl, right there.

So we started talking to her. She was with another friend. Miller's single. So he's like, you know, running game on both of them. I'm just sitting there talking. This dude is like staring at me. I'm at, like, this dude keeps looking at me. I'm talking. This dude keeps looking at me.

I'm talking. And then I finally go, Miller, dude, I think that guy's just staring at me. And she goes, that's my ex. Oh. And I'm like, oh, okay, great. Like, I got that going on or whatever. And a few minutes later,

she's like, oh, he texts me. And she's kind of making fun of him. You know, how girls do, like, oh, he's saying this. Can you believe that? And then she goes, he says he knows you. And I was like, what? I don't know that guy. he says he's a fan of ears

so now my brain's like oh oh no like this dude I thought he was jealous and I was like fuck this prick but it turns out he was looking at me like is that him? And go ahead that's the only time that's been the best scenario

it's not over but go ahead well hold on a second there's a that's a schoolboy cue lyric and I'm trying to fight from the song, there he go. That's what made me think of. There he go. It says,

her boyfriend got me paranoid. Try sneaking up on me and I'm making noise, but what I failed to understand, I'm the motherfucking man, ran into him. He's a fan. God damn. And then the chorus starts.

Nice. Yeah. A song hits real hard, by the way, if you guys don't know it. I love that song. Yeah. Wish I was school boy cute

because here's the rest of the story. Yeah. Great. well she's hammered and so she's letting me see all the text when he's not looking or whatever he starts dogging me like it was jealous

he like thinks that I'm hitting on her or whatever the fat one hits harder he's like uh no he goes I enjoyed his book a lot he's doing bits from it right now on you and he starts like basically I think he heard me say the phrase dolly part and hits

That's the only thing I could fathom. I was like, he's like accusing me of running bits. What do you mean? She's like, I don't know. That's what he says. He keeps going like, oh, he can't help it. Like, I wish he could have come up with some new material. The book's pretty old.

Damn. So she's like, what I do? I'm like, let me see the phone. Let me see the phone. So I started testing back. Are you still in the same room with this guy this whole time? Yeah, it's a pretty big bar though. And this is the friend of a girl that you helped.

Well, yeah. Well, I helped her. The girl that I carried into the house, like, she wasn't in on earth. You know what I mean? She was trying to figure out how to drag her friend in and couldn't. So really, I helped her. I made a 10 problem reduced to a 5.

Like got her into the bed. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. So I started texting him joining in. I'm like, oh, my God. He's talking about his wife. It's clearly a bit. Have you heard this one?

and the dude's like, oh yeah, I know that one. That's from this special. I just, like, I'm walking him through it. But then I started flipping it, like, I don't know. They are pretty funny. I think I might buy the book. Because he left. At some point he leaves.

And then I start, she gives me the phone. I start texting him like, I think I'm going to buy the book. Do you know this joke? The dude, like, he's getting annoyed. He's like, why don't know? I'm just going out with me at this other bar. I don't know. I'm having a pretty good time here.

Where's your book, motherfucker? Yeah. I didn't want to go too far. with it, but I told her, and she said not to, which makes me think she wants to get back with him. I was like, listen, where this ends is I'm going to tell him you're coming home with all of us and, and my wife, and we're going to have an orgy. And I'm going to just keep going with that. And she was like, no, and I was like, yeah, you still might want to fuck him later. That's what that's about. But that was my, uh, there's no climactic ending, unfortunately. That's my, that's the end of my,

I thought this dude was jealous. Then I was like, no, he's, fan and then it turns out he was flaming me super hard because he was just it's both yeah yeah that's pretty amazing yeah it was it was a good day because it just hits for me because i'm i'm assuming these people are around our age yeah i eat not 55 right otherwise drew would have beat his motherfucking ass now you know you know what i'm saying i know what you mean because we're used to 60 and 70 year old fans on the internet telling us not to make jokes when we were in high school

and that we should be... But here's my thing about that. He might be worse. I mean, that's not the kind of feel like that. That sucks, too. You know what I'm saying? Like, this dude knew all my jokes. Yeah.

Or pretended to, and was just shitting on all of them in an attempt to get laid. And my genuine feeling, and I don't know if he's listening, I don't know if he's that big of a fan. My genuine feeling, David, use me in any way you can

to get your dick suck dog. Like, make fun. fun of me, whatever you need to do, I hope that you continue to get laid by pretending that I'm doing my bits at the bar. That's so amazing. What bits were you doing for real? Yeah, I was doing the one. Again, my only thing I can think of, someone brought up Dolly Parton, and then we were

having a discussion about her, the only thing I can think of is we have a pretty large section of the book about Dolly. There were no bits. Dolly bit, but that's something I can think of. It's so funny how people, civilians in this sense, people that don't know comedy, like, interpret, like, what a bit is or like when you're rehashing a bit. Because I'm sure I've told you this story one time that this dude came up to me one time after a show. And he was like, hey, good show. I liked it better when Ron White did it.

And I was like, what? And he was like, yeah, you did all of Ron White's material. And I was like, first off, I've seen every bit. Ron White has ever done. And we don't even have the same style or anything. And I just happen to have my joke book. And I wasn't going to let it go. I was like, hey, I got every joke in here.

I got it. We'll go through it. You tell me which one was Ron White. And he's like, no, no. I mean, I'm just, you know, you were talking about drinking a lot. And I was like, yeah, I had some material on drinking. He's like, yeah, well, that's like Ron White's whole thing. I was like, that's it.

Because I talked about drinking. I stole Ron White's stuff. And he's like, yeah, well, he's like the drinking. and I was like, oh, you just don't understand what anything means. So, yeah, to that guy, you just sang Dolly Parton. He's like, here he goes again. Right. I mean, yeah, that's pretty hilarious, running my bits.

I don't know. It annoyed me, obviously, because I was like, of all the things to be accused of, running my bits on a guy to get laid, I was doing literally no part of that. Right. Yeah, like, in what world does Dolly Parton getting brought up? have to be for any other reason than that Dolly Parton hits. By the way, if I was trying to get late,

single again, by the way, you know. Bring up Dolly Parton. That's the way to get late. That's true. She's on the market finally after all these years. Yeah, that's true. She's on the piece, Carl. Mm-hmm.

By the way, that's what the fuck we were talking about. Was Carl being dead? Dude, Kenny Rogers died at such the wrong time, dude. Such the wrong time. Dude. whatever. That's what we were talking about. I just remember, that's what got brought up. And then we were talking about how there's like the rumor in the south of them being Polly and all that. None of that's in the book. We didn't put in our book that there's a rumor in the south of Dolly Parton and her man are swingers. I don't think we did. No, because we don't deal in rumors when it comes to Dolly Parton. We would never do that. Not in print.

Not exactly. By the way, speaking of, I don't know if we talked about this, but like, I was learning a little bit more about her husband. And I mean, everybody knows he was. was like, you know, famously, now I won't say famously a recluse, but like he wasn't about that like Hollywood life. He didn't care to be, you know, arm candy or whatever. But like, dude, it goes even further.

Like, not only that, but like he, he had like a sawmill business that he like had when him and Dolly Parton got together. And he never gave it up. And he kept work, like physically working at it.

And like, he you know obviously they never needed the money but he was like this is what i do a man works you know and like he still did all the labor and all that shit and sometimes he would have to go to dollywood with dolly because they had there was like a movie premiere or something and until he got into the theater he wore a bag over his head so that even if there were pictures taken he would just have a bag over his head because he just didn't want to have anything to do with it and i was like That fucking guy Did all that shit

Bagged Dolly Parton for 70 years or whatever Like as much of a legend as Dolly is The only person that comes close is that motherfucker Like that's amazing Yeah dude unbelievable Unbelievable Andy you guys will enjoy this Andy has told me a version of VAT

But with the like Don't that hit I'm like yeah a guy who don't give a fuck Who's just gonna like work and not try to be in the spotlight. And I was like, you could get one of them, Andy. He's going to back the fucking blue

and stand with Israel. But by all means, girl, walk down the street and fucking get you one right now. Right. He's the only one that hit. I love a damn, uh, you don't know how good you got it, bitch,

story. Um, I do that. I'm always, always a big fan of those. Uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, Do y'all ever fuck with the yacht rock? Ever? You mean still? It's my number one. If you go to my Spotify year end,

like every single thing is like Chris Cross and like the Doobie brothers and, you know. Oh, dude. Yeah, I'm not surprised by that. You're very, you definitely have a very yacht rock, you know, aura to you. It's peaceful. But at the same time, I've known you for like ever.

And when we've been, I've never, like, I don't think I've ever been around you when Yacht Rock has been playing. I don't think. Well, that's because when we're all together, we're playing stuff. Yeah, well, yeah, you don't talk about it.

It's like fight club, but like, but like when we're all together. We have talked about it. On the show, we've talked about it. We probably have, but like, but the thing is, like, I just watch the documentary about it is why I'm bringing it up. I was stuck on a plane for 10 and a half fucking hours

because of storms in Atlanta on Sunday. It's on HBO, right? It's an HBO documentary about Yacht Rock, and I've watched it. I've got it on my to-do list. Well, the reason that it's never, like, come up when we were riding in the car together is because, like, I like so many genres of music that I also like the genre, like love, and more so.

Like, I'm more like Turnpite Tribor's Jason Isbell, Drive-Bite. Like, I like those things more, and that's what we all like. So, like, I'm not going to be, like, turn off this Sturgel so I can listen to, fucking, do you like peanut colitis? You know what I mean? Right. But like when I'm, you know, when it's the summertime and I'm playing golf and I got my

headphones on, like oftentimes it's Yacht Rock because it's just, you know, it's easy listening, fun stuff. And I'll tell you what really got me back into Yacht Rock was James Gunn's selections of the Marvel, the playlist. I'm glad you brought that up. I feel nuts. I feel like we had a yacht rock period on the Well Red Tour, vis-a-vis James Gunn, specifically Brandy.

I feel like there was a solid chunk of one year of the tour. They just disappeared for you? God cut me out because he didn't like me telling the truth. I don't even know if you guys can hear me. Is he back? In my back? We lost you right when you said vis-a-v-v-brandy. Yeah, Brandi, you're a fan.

I think you're right. It's called... Brandy. I think it's called Brandy. It's called Brandy. Okay. So, you're right.

We were listening to that. I think we went through a thing. It was, yeah, I didn't think about that even being Yacht Rock at the time, um, uh, because it was from,

you know, it was like part of the Zike Geist because of James Gunn and those movies being huge. Yeah, it very much is yacht rock. And I feel like, no,

I know, well, I mean, that song's about boats. Yeah, right. It's one of the most yacht rocks like place in a harbor town.

It's fucking, uh, I'm just saying, I never thought of that as being, uh, like a yacht rock period. but I guess it was.

But we didn't, I still don't think we like talked about it on here or nothing, did we? Or maybe like briefly. Like the etymology of it and like all that, probably not because we hadn't watched the documentary. Again, I've seen the documentary. And so this is why I know, like I don't remember us ever really talking about like Michael McDonald, for example. Yeah, dude. That guy blows my mind. He's the guy.

He's the guy. And it's really weird. I think I did talk about Kenny Loggins once because Kenny Loggins is wild too because He's different. Everybody knows how Kenny Loggins is, but like he also, he very much faded you know,

he ain't got the status of other like old rock stars or whatever, but he, you talk about a mother fucking run and also not just a run but a pivot. Like he had Yacht Rock died. He was in Loggins and Messina is one of the top guys in Yacht Rock. It dies. Loggins and Messina rules by the way.

It, Yacht Rock effectively dies. disco did, and then he pivots immediately into movie soundtracks and make some of the bang-in- exclusive blockbuster movie soundtrack. Literally the biggest soundtrack songs that have ever been made, this motherfucker motherfucker made like a string of them in a row in the 80s, and it's just fucking wild. Like, I would say that, like, the thing associated the most with Caddyshack is his song. Like the thing that's also true for footloose. That's also kind of true for Top Gun.

I mean, Top Gun sort of transcends how it to the Danger Zone, but it's still. Ghostbusters is a, no, that's Ray Parker or something like that. Either fucking way, man, like a Caddyshack rules, but like, I'm all right. That was one of the songs, that was one of the few songs that, that was one of the few songs that he did, well, no, footloose, and, and I'm all right. Danger Zone too, but Danger Zone didn't get as much. much radio play just regularly. You know what I mean? Like, uh, it's not, it's not odd to hear I'm all right and footloose right now. And like, yeah, you will think of the movie, but those two songs stand alone on their own. Highway to the danger zone kind of like it feels so much like a movie song that

it's like whatever. But the other two like, I know them from the movie obviously, but like on their own, they're just good songs. You know what I mean? Like, like, I'm all. Like, I'm all. You know, right never mentions golf it doesn't mention the characters from the movies it's not like you know on the nose or anything you know it's the only song i can think of that's above those in that exact respect right now the only one it comes to mind i have the tiger by survivor without question um yeah that song is like uh everything you just said it's like it's the platonic ideal of all of that It's its own thing. Yeah.

Now it's the number one montage song of all time, I guess. Like if a, if a, like I remember South Park used it, like any comedy that does like a comedy montage, they're going to use I of the Tiger or whatever. But dude, Kenny Loggins run was unbelievable. And a lot of that, like Michael McDonald, it's crazy like knowing that Michael McDonald is like the king of yacht rock. Whereas like when I was first introduced to the Doobie brothers, it did not seem like it was going to go that way. You know what I mean?

Like the Doobie Brothers very much had a southern rock feel to them. And then there was this huge shift. And it's very clear that Michael McDonald was the one like pulling the strings. You know what I'm saying? Right. Yeah, no. He's like, yeah, he's the poster boy. A pretty mama come and take me by the hand.

I want a honky tongue, honky talk. Like, that's the Doobie brothers, and that's what their sound was to me. And then he became, hers, I'm all on a m'all. Oh, my God, and if you watch this, I mean, maybe you know this anyway, since you're just like a fan. You might have seen him in a bunch of interviews and stuff, but I had not, but like he's, he's interviewed in the documentary in like present day.

And he's like, he looks like George Lucas, bro. Yes, he does. He looks just like him. And he also kind of has a George Lucas sort of vibe to him, too, which means like he's just sort of an old nerdy papal. Like, nothing about him screams. Right. He's interrational talent.

Right. He's very self-deprecating the whole time. He talks about how his, you know, his kids are like, because, you know, fucking regulate by Warren G. is a fucking Michael McDonald's song. Absolutely. And also, he talks about his kids. He also rips, rip, uh, young guns. He says, uh, yes, that's true.

Yes. The, uh, the opening screed or whatever you want to call it of that. is from Young Guns. Man, that movie hits a horror for me when I was a kid. But anyway, I was just talking about it. Somebody brought it up about somebody on a podcast. No, no, it was my comic book group last night. Me and Chris Geth were talking about it.

I just watched Young Guns, like, rewatched it as an adult. Fucking holds up, man. I think it's a great movie. I've been actually meaning to rewatch it. So I'm going to put that on my priority list because, yeah, that was one of my favorites as a kid. But anyways, he was just talking about his kids. They're like, if his, I can't remember the name of his original song. What's the name of Michael McDonald's on that regulates samples?

I can't remember. Anyway, if that comes on, he says his kids are always like, you know, we listen to the Warren G one instead. Right, right. Yours is fucking lame, his hits, you know, like that type of thing. You know, there's a, that song, that Tupac, a lot of rappers did that in the 90s where they would sample the widest, gayest, whatever, like that Tupac song, da-da-na-da-na da-na da-na that's just the way it is changes and changes is one of my favorite

two-pac songs like it's awesome but if you ever heard just the regular song that it's from yeah it couldn't be more mayonnaise vanilla like like the fact that some producer was listening to that and was like dude this will go hard with pock rapping over it so um yeah that we talked before i know i brought up billy squire on the show and i didn't realize that like billy squire is like an icon and like the old hip hop community and stuff because of like his like bass lines and stuff and how often they've been used in rap and it's like he's hugely influential in the rap game billy squire is i've looked up a list i just want to read a few of them off of uh since we're sorely running long time you know billy squire probably made just as much money off of a magic stick than he did stroke me you know what i mean so i billboard has a list top movie songs of all time um and i there's already I mean, maybe it's my age. My heart will go on is number one.

That's what I thought. Before I looked it up, that's what I was expecting to be number one, was my heart will go on. I almost brought it up earlier when I brought up eye the tiger, but I feel like it doesn't, I feel like it don't,

I have the tigers like people, if someone's jogging down the street and you got your windows down, you just like play eye of the tiger for that person, you know what I mean? Like that, like I felt my heart will go on,

don't, it didn't do that type of thing. Do you know what I mean? I'm talking about ones that hit and encompass what the movie is, although I would say how the tiger does that better. That's what I'm saying. I almost said my heart will go on

until I thought of the tiger, because I just feel like... I was also thinking Billboard chart. I know. Right. What they have... That's the other thing, too. This is on Billboard's website, but...

Kiss from a rose, bitch! Kiss from a rose, bitch! No, no, no. You're not... I'm glad you said that. This is literally, this is not subjective. It's based on their charts. So...

Okay. It's literally... Like the, it's, you know, the ranking is based on highest charting for the longest amount of time. And so I can't, I guess I can't really bitch about it since it's like an objective. It's objective list. Database thing. But number one is Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, endless love from the movie Endless Love. And also from the movie.

I don't know. Happy Gilmore. Oh, okay. At nine weeks at number one in 1981. Number two, and I do remember this one being fucking big in the 90s, but I had forgotten about it. Everything I do, I do it for you by Brian Adams from Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. That was in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. Yeah, you don't remember that?

What the fuck? You didn't know that's where that song was run? No. Yeah, I did. I hadn't seen that movie in a long time, and like I would have never in a million years guessed that that goddamn song came from that movie. Number three, Bee Gees, How Deep is Your Love from Saturday Night Fever? Of course. Favorite three weeks at number one in 1977.

Number four. But Night fever didn't make it because they had the whole soundtrack. Night fever, night fever. Number four is I have the Tiger by Survivor from Rocky Three. Although this says it was- That was Rocky Three? Yeah. Yeah.

I knew that too. But it said Stallone originally wanted to use another one Bites the Dust for Rocky Three. training montage, but Freddie Mercury wouldn't grant the license, so he turned to Survivor who wrote Eye of the Tiger in part by timing the guitar and drum hits to coincide with Rocky's punches. It's a good change. It's a good change. Yeah, man. It also makes it its own, if it was another one bites the dust, it's not as iconic because that song was already a thing. So this makes it like this is the Rocky song. Number five, Irene Kara, Flash Dance. What a feeling from flash dance.

Number six, BG's, night fever, Saturday Night Fever. Okay. Number seven, I knew this one would be on here. Whitney Houston's version of I will always love you from the bodyguard. That song was absolutely fucking massive. I figured that would be closer to the top. I'm scant. I ain't even got to, I'm skipping through.

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I'm now scanning through here because I'm looking for Celine Dion. on post Malone and sway Lee sunflower from Spider-Man and Spider-Barrows. I love that fucking song. I'm a big post-Malone fan by the way. Ironically.

He seems like a really, really rad dude. Yes, he does. He's just like a sweet heart and like not a fucking diva or a prick. And he loves the business. He likes, he likes music. I think he likes music more than he likes the fame it's brought him. I genuinely believe that.

I'm just going to do a couple more than we can get. out of here. Number 13, iconic Coelio, Gangstas Paradise from the movie Dangerous Minds. That was Michelle Pfeiffer, right? Michelle Pfeiffer, got to reach these kids. I got to reach the... Have you seen the South Park version of that?

When Cartman plays her, it's so goddamn funny. I think so. Let's see. Number 18, Prince When Doves Cry from Purple Rain. Oh, yeah, Purple Rain. Let's see here. Prince also did a Batman one. What the fuck? Number 20.

This is, something's wrong here. Number 20 is Celine Dion's because you loved me from the movie up close and personal. No. I've never even heard of the movie or that song. You don't know that song? That song's kind of a banger.

I'm sure it is, Celine D. I mean, dude, I'm sure I'd know it if I heard it, but I'm just saying like, dude, I'm everything I am because you love me. You don't know. Oh, yeah. But dude, but dude, Titanic, biggest movie. No, I know I'm with you.

I thought it was going to be number one and it ain't, I'm still, I'm down to 25. fucking seven and ain't showed up something ain't right they i don't know they had the number 30 kenny loggins footloose for footloose so let's see uh last one that i'm gonna read i skipped over a minute ago number 21 m&m lose yourself for eight mile that's a that's a damn good one anyway i figured that would be higher too frankly yeah but um that's another one that transcends the movie you know absolutely like uh absolutely that's kind of the benchmark for me is when they transcend the movie that they're

from. That movie came out in 2001, I believe, or something like that. And that was the year that our, we had 30 kids on our football team, 30, 30 white, scrawny kids, meaning that we're all playing both sides of the ball. You know what I mean? Yeah, right. Our school had, we'd won four games a year for like 10 years. And that was the year.

We went nine and one and we were having this electric season. and we played that song like before every game. And you talk about like if like I'm very aware that life is better now as a 30 year old and it's stupid to look back at the past. But if I could bottle the feeling of being padded up with my bros bumping with the coaches bumping it too. Like it was the coach's favorite song. You know, they knew they knew all the words by the end. But the feeling of bumping that with my bros before we were about to go out and play, if I could bottle that feeling, I would not need Lexapro.

You know what I mean? Like it was unbelievable. And you're right, that song totally transcends the movie. Absolutely. Well, time to go. This weekend's the weekend. We lost Drew already, but all three of us, we won't be together at the same time. But Drew will be with me in Knoxville on Saturday and show will be with me in Chattanooga on Saturday.

But again, if it don't happen, it don't happen. But we will be together. We're going to try. Yeah. Well, it ain't like I'm going to, isn't it like an hour and a half, Knoxville, Chattanooga? Yeah, it's nice shit. Just as long as you can get your fat ass up. I'll get down there at like noon 30 or 1.

Either way, listen to putting on airs. That's the podcast where me and Trey, two Hillbilly dipshits, talk about fancy stuff. Last week we talked about Catherine, the not so great. This week I have it actually, I got to get on the ball. But it's a wonderful show. You can also get merch. It's stayfancymerch.com. We love Corey.com.

Oh, also. Also, I've been streaming video games, so look out for that and join me on Twitch. Thank you. God bless you. Bye, by, Drew. Part. Martin Luther King, Jr. came into this world on January 15th, 1929 in a modest little house over on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia. The South was still stuck in its same old sorrow, sweating under the weight of the sun, and, of course, its sins. Sharecroppers bent their backs in fields they didn't own.

the same fields their ancestors had once been chained to. Cotton still reigned king and Jim Crow was sitting pretty on his throne, guarded by pole taxes and police batons. The courthouse steps might as well have been altars to segregation, unmoving, unchallenging, and of course, understood by all. And it wasn't just the South. All across America, folks danced through life like the music would never stop. Jazz clubs up north, Moonshined down in the hollers, stocks soaring higher than a preacher's voice on Easter morning. Herbert Hoover had just taken office, all smiles and promises, but the floor was already crumbling beneath him. That same year, the Great Depression came crashing through like a hellstorm.

Money gone, jobs gone, red lines stretching down the block, banks falling apart like knockoff Sunday suits, and out in Oklahoma, the wind started sharpening its teeth, getting ready to scrape the land dry. The world outside our borders? That wasn't looking too kind either. Hitler, the failed painter with a broken heart full of hate, was sneaking his way into power while Germany unraveled. Britain was still stomping around Palestine like they owned it, planting seeds of unrest that would grow into generations of hurt. Stalin was locking up his own people and starving whole regions just to prove a point. Meanwhile, back home, Charles Lindbergh was America's golden boy with his head in the clouds, but the rest of us were being pulled into the dirt.

Back in Georgia, things moved slow, but stayed heavy. Black folks in Atlanta's colored neighborhoods were packed into tight homes, working their fingers to the bone, singing their children to sleep with church hymns and hard truths. The church wasn't just for Sundays. It was the school, the safe house, the stage, and the sanctuary. It was there in those wooden pews that young Martin first heard a preacher sing a sermon like a song, a voice full of heaven, his hands holding back hell itself. His daddy, Daddy King was up there behind the pulpit at Ebenezer Baptist Church, preaching the gospel with the weight of a people's pain on his shoulders. That's the world Martin was born into, baptized not just with water, but with fire, fury, and a whole lot of sacred hope.

And while that baby boy lay swaddled and unaware, the world had no idea what kind of force had just arrived. He was born into a country full of secrets, bootleg gin, bread lines, and back alley hangings. But one day, that same boy would stand tall and thunder out a message that would shake the ground. We can be better. We have to be. And Lord knows it was past time. And now for a more comprehensive breakdown, less poetic, of Dr. Martin Luther King's life. He was born January 15th, 1929.
