And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because you used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

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

Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's 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 anymore,

Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscriptions with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.

I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish, and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, 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 that in response to? What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money

well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them. They help.

They're the liberal rednecks. They like cornbread, but sex. They care way too much, 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 know it started out, 30A started out as like Isbell and a bunch of people did it, but just like Seaside itself, I assume that now it's gotten so popular that it kind of sucks. I don't know that, I don't know that to be true.

It's just like when I was younger, 30A was like still this, some people knew it, but not everybody knew it. And then, like, Truman Show came out, and obviously it got a little bit of a bump. And then Truman Show was filmed in Seaside. That whole movie was filmed. I thought this whole festival was in Key West. What the fuck am I thinking of?

Well, maybe 38. I just know 30A is the stretch of highway down that goes through Seaside or whatever. And so you see a lot of people around my area with 30A stickers because everybody, like, Seaside is like a destination now. where basically it's so busy, it's so goddamn busy that people just, they stay in Panama City Beach because you can't get a place in Seaside and they drive 40 minutes in traffic to get a t-shirt from Seaside and then go home. Like it's ridiculous. And it sucks because, and I understand how it happens, Seaside was awesome.

It was this quaint little place that was neat. And if everybody finds out about an awesome thing, there you go. Well, you think that there are literally any left, at least in this country. if not most of the world where that hasn't happened in the age of Instagram and social media and stuff. I don't feel like you just said, oh, when that mainstream movie came out, that really blew them up because that's like what it used to take. Yeah, right. Now influencers find something or whatever. And then so it's like it just really sucks, dude, like nothing.

And I mean, I know it's like this is one of those things where it's like, you know, you're not, you're not stuck in traffic. You are traffic. therefore it's like, you know, I know it makes no sense for me to be like, I want to go to a hidden gym with no one there. I don't know all these other people to go to a hidden gym with no one there. I get that that's not fair, but it really does suck, though. It's like everywhere kind of don't.

I don't know where all these fucking people are coming from all the goddamn time. It's like everywhere always is just packed to the gills. Yeah. Like every airport I'm ever at every, I know this is champagne problems or whatever, but literally every lounge and every tournament what's the point of the lounge? Atlanta's massive airport has a like 30 minute line you have to stand in to get into it.

It's just like, I don't know, can't some of me all just stay home? Well, you know, me and you talk. It's just so many people everywhere. It's fucking makes everything not hit if you're like me. I think me and you talked about this might have been on this podcast or just in like a text because you were talking about going with

Katie on a vacation or something. You're like, man, I'd really like to go to a hidden spot that not many people know about. And I think you asked me, you're like, do those exist anymore? And I think our answer that we came to was like, yes, but the elites don't tell us about them. Like, even Instagram models aren't rich enough to get into these places, you know? That's my theory. I'm going to take another angle here. Or you've got to go somewhere that ain't that great.

Right. And the way you do, but the way you do that. you can find a spot that's great. Yes. There's no great hotels. Yes. That's the hack. If you're trying to figure this thing out,

and also you might need to like go to Mexico. You know, like, now, listen, you might get down there and you're like, man, I heard about this great spot.

And then you might get there and you're like, God damn it. It's already been found out. Right. If you find a place like that, you got two years stops. Right. So know that.

Also, just real quick, because I was like, what the fuck? Miles Zero Fest. And 30A. are separate festivals in Florida that are kind of the same genre. And Miles Zero's Key West.

Here's the thing that I've been like attempting to live my life by. And it's actually, you know, it's one of, it's super placebo effect. And it's all fucking like kind of the secret garbage. But the thing is if it works, it works. Whereas like I figured out a long time ago, it's like your dreams can all come true as long as you change your dreams. You know? and with a place to like a hidden gym or whatever, me luckily, it doesn't take as much,

like I'm older now. The only thing I want is a place to get good oysters and a quiet place to read. So I don't need the pomp and circumstance of a seaside or whatever. So you're right. If there's a place where it's otherwise a shithole, but they got one decent mom-in-pop place,

you can have your little seclusion. You're just not, you know, it's not going to have a, fucking Sobu restaurant or whatever, but I'm easy to please now. Yeah, well, now we're talking, you know, right now, and that's what I've been talking about too is like vacation places, hotels, resorts, hitting restaurants, whatever. But another version of that, that like, you know, sometimes Kate will be like, let's go camping, whatever, we pack up all our stuff.

And it does hit for me, especially the idea of it, but we end up in some like campground where you like reserve a camping spot at this campground. You get there and it's, like, we're the millers. It's you and, yeah, it's you and a hundred other fucking people. That sucks. That's the opposite of the point. I know, exactly. And it's at a state park where there's a beach nearby, which is pretty or whatever. But in the actual campground, it's like, you know, I don't know.

You might as well be in a fucking trailer in Putnam County or something like that. Right. Part of that's California, though, right? Probably, but probably. But what I was going to say is like, and then if I know we were going to talk about this, I would ask Caleb if he was free to come on here. because I read Caleb signing and told me. This is so funny because I feel like this is the least Caleb scene in the world,

which I would tend to. Because like Caleb is one of those people that I, he just kind of rolls with shit. It's like things just sort of happen to and around Caleb. Yeah, he's primary. Yeah. So like he told me that he's got buddies from high school. I think it's like nine dudes total.

Every year they go to a different national park. And he told me like last year, the year before, that they went to the one in Alaska, which I think is Denali, I think is the one in Alaska. And he said they went to the one in Alaska and they went out to the park. They got picked up by this like park ranger

at one of the entrances or whatever, driven two hours out into like the wilderness, got dropped off. And he said they like hiked back or hiked to a different entrance or something like that. And he said they were out there for like 10 days and did not see another living human person the entire time in the Alaskan wilderness, right? I was like, how to fuck did y'all, like, how do you do?

And of course, Caleb's like, I don't know, my buddy handles, like, you know, one of those guys handles all that. It's like, I can't, I kind of can't even believe that Caleb survives trips like that. Which would be the same for me, too, by the way. Oh, yeah. But it sounds fucking, you know, awesome. And it's like, so there's, you know, I just don't know how anything works or how to do nothing. Now, granted, I don't really try to figure it out either outside of just saying, how you do that?

And if they say, I don't know, I just go on living my life. I'm with you. I'm with you. Now, granted, I could, Amber's the one that likes to go places a lot. Like, I mean, I always have a good time when I do. But, like, I'm like sort of a camel with my hits nowadays where, like, if I do something real fun one day, I can ride that out for like two months and be like, I just did a thing, you know. and then just sort of be holed up like a hermit, like, you know, not to, whatever the male version of like a spinster is,

I've, I mean, I have a wife, you know, I'm not an old mate or whatever, but like I've sort of become that where. Just like a home body? Yeah, just a home body. And like, but not in a, agoraphobic type of way, you know, like, not in a. For me, for me, the two things are tied together, I feel like, because. Yeah, you want. I'm also a lot of, a pretty.

big home body. Right. But it's like I like the idea of going to a different place. To a different place. Hit and doing things that hit. But in keeping what we're talking about, they kind of never do. I know.

Like you want them, like you get there and you're like, man, everything kind of sucks now. I think that's my issue. It feels like in shittification, they talk about internet, it feels like that's just,

it's of everything everywhere, at least in this country. You know what, man? All just the whole universe. I think that's, I think that's actually my problem because, and I'm not trying to sound elitist here because the places we used to go to,

it's not like they cost a lot more money. It's like before Appalachicola became like an, I mean, it was always a place that had hidden oysters, but it wasn't like a destination like people didn't, because they didn't have the nightclubs like PCB or whatever. And then that type of thing sort of got in, like go into those places and then it got like gentrified in a way, like beach gentrified where it just became more expensive.

I never like I always loved doing that shit because yeah, you're right. Like once I got there, and got settled in, it was very much the same as being home. It was just a different view. You know, like, I wasn't being bothered by nobody. And when I went out, I wasn't, like, I can't stand being asses to elbows, dude. I can't. Me neither.

I can't stand it. And I like, I genuinely like people. I think for a long time, like, it's made me sort of feel like I was becoming like a Larry David where it's like, I'm just not a social person. And like, I mean, I'm not that much. But like, I genuinely like people. Like, my wife always goes, oh, you just hate people. And I'm like, no, I don't.

I hate a lot of people at the same time is what I hate. And it has nothing, I bet individually everybody in this restaurant, I could find something in common with and we'd get along if we just met sitting next to each other in an empty bar, you know, I guarantee it. Like I do, even people that like, if I knew them, I'd probably hate them because of their ideas. If we're just at a bar and their sports on, there's no telling how many fucking probably Nazis I've had a good time with and had no idea they were Nazis. because the only topic at hand was like,

God damn, did you see what the Titans did? But when it gets to like, I can't hear, I can't, I'm like, why am I, why are we even here? Especially when like you go on vacation, it's you and a group of people. So the whole idea is like, we're going as a friend group to hang out.

And then you get to a place where y'all can't even hear each other. And I'm like, we should just stay at home if we wanted to hang out, you know. Yeah. No, I don't know. It's like things don't hit. You know, like we took a trip up the Central California coast last summer and it was like it was like obviously topographically and all that it's

beautiful in terms of vistas and shit but there's all these like little towns up the central coast of california i think they called the gold coast i think is what's called but like sure uh one of them we stayed at one of them one night it's called cambria or cambria and it is like a small town like on the co you know the central coast and it is pretty or whatever but again it's just i think i'm pretty sure we were there on like a Wednesday. Like we got there like on a Wednesday afternoon. And it's just, I mean, lousy with just like. And you'd think that's the best day to go. Yeah, right. That's what I'm saying. People like everywhere. Like and the whole way up like every place we went, every place we stopped at, it's just, it just feels like everywhere is like that. And that's the problem now is everybody thinks like that. They're like, we'll go on Wednesday. That's when nobody's going. You know, and everybody thinks that. It's like Yogi Berra, you know, when he said, uh, all that.

restaurant nobody goes there anymore it's too crowded you know right like it's yeah paradox i don't know man i don't know um i mean you still you know like i would pop to people that like water shit and just general nature i would put it to you that dale hollow is actually a hidden gym but but but we go to table rock it's awesome the problem or not problem but like the reason it's been able to remain a hidden gym i think is because it's so far removed from everywhere else and the only town nearby is like one of the bleakest in like hillbilly just copiate fucking places in the entire south i would yeah wager so like well you know it's just it's i think it takes something like that you got to be like really out in well fuck egypt or unfortunately my situation which is a a situation of

privilege where like I just said like I literally almost like oh table rock lake is great like we never run into anybody well we have a lake house there so we're on our own dock of course we don't run into anybody you know what I mean so really you have to that's kind of what you have to do now is have your own place but I don't you know I don't have a lake house that's one thing it does it about del hollow by the way is they don't I don't know who's determined that or how long ago but there's there are no lake houses on Del Hollow Lake it's not that's great which is pretty sweet but so that's also part of it there might be some like country stars who would have a lake house up there if they,

you know, were allowed to, but it's not, they're not. So, but I've had a houseboat out on Delhalla Lake in the peak of the summer before was at that hit, Katie and the boys.

And like, and Ben, I mean, literally the, yeah, completely alone. Like, no other boats,

no nothing to come like twilight or whatever. Nobody else anywhere in any co. So. And that's, you know, that really super don't hit for the local economy and all that. Back to what you said earlier about, you know, they want to make money these places. Right.

And I get that. So it's just, I don't know. I want to get back to Drew and what we were talking about before you hopped on because Drew mentioned, which is something that I relate to. He's sick right now. So prayers up for Drew. Prayers up for Drew. Man, probably. I think it's a cold.

Yeah. And he was mentioning that maybe, and maybe I'm screwing your words up. I'll let you say it again. But like he's been living healthy and stuff. and so now because he's been living healthy when something do happen it seems worse you know yeah i've been jimmin it i haven't been drinking much i've been getting sleep and so now if i miss sleep or i get sick or i drink there's a huge gap i have like a higher mountain to fall off of and i fall so low that i'm like you know it's like oh i don't i don't get sick or hung over anymore i get insane and destitute

and suicidal. Right. And I mean, I think part of that's age, but I also think it's like the living right stuff, it's like, is it even worth it, man? I mean, that's what this is about. No, it's not. I'll be the first one to say that.

But yeah, you just reminded me that Doug Stanhope bit where he was talking about the benefits of being an alcoholic, which is one of them is like he goes, if I wake up and feel like shit, I know why, you've got to go to the doctor, you know? And it do be like that.

Like, and it frustrates you so much, when you're doing all the wrong things and a bad thing happens, you don't even get mad at it. You don't even blink. But when you're doing all the right things and a bad thing happens, it's unabomber in your brain, you know? Yeah. Did he get outed or was that an internet bit I didn't understand?

Huh? Doug Stanhope got outed for what? Wait, not Doug Stanhope. I'm an idiot. I was thinking of a different Doug. Doug loves movies is who I was thinking of. What he got, Doug? Our boy, Doug Benson?

Again, I'm not saying, like I saw something on Reddit. I think it, the way I was really, reading and I was like this is some kind of bit I don't get what was it was somebody talking about someone else outing him as a gay man yes well he sucked my dick when we're in Washington but it seemed very straight you know what I mean like it seemed like we didn't we didn't we didn't have nothing to do he had a show at fucking 420 like he always does right and it was 3 30 we got there early nobody else was in the green room he's mainly high and we just didn't have nothing to do so he was like you want me to suck your dick and I was like well you let me win the show he's like no you still got to be competitive and I was like, whatever, you can still suck my dick. It would have been gay if he let you win the show. I agree, right.

That's what I'm saying. So I don't think he's gay. I love Doug. I mean, obviously, even if he is gay, I love him. Yeah, I think it was a bit I didn't understand. You know, if you scroll on Reddit and it's like, such a scene, you're like, somebody outed Doug Benson and you're like, I could go research this, but I don't want to.

It's very possible that Doug Benson was a part of a bit that no one understands because of how comically stoned he is all the time that, you know, so I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I hadn't heard that one way. He was also there with his hot girlfriend. That's what I was about to say. Corey's bit aside, that weekend he's talking about, Doug was there with an unattractive woman on his arm.

So, I mean, I know that. Which he could have been her beard because she was way too good looking for Doug. I love Doug, but she was way too attractive for him. Doug loves movies. He does love movies. Yeah, he's the best, by the way. Go listen to that podcast. You can listen to him.

I went on a five-week win streak on Doug Love's Movies. you can go check that out. Hey, running to Brandon Collins. No, I did. No, I did not. That's why I was on my.

I think you were the one sucking the dick. Matter of fact, the reason I didn't win six is because Brandon Collins. Sure. I feel like I've won, I've won Douglas movies, I think, two or three times.

But literally every, and I'm not saying I would have won the other times, but every other time I've been on it, I've been on it with Brandon Collins. And as soon as it starts, I'm like, well, I'm going to lose it.

Unbelievable. Hey, I wanted to ask y'all's question. This is about computers. So I know y'all won't know the answer, but I'm frustrated with it. So when I log in on my computer, this is on Mac, maybe it's on other computers, but you know how you have like on new computers? You have touch ID, just like on your phone, like your fingerprint. Yeah.

You do your thing. Well, so when you restart your computer, I'll go to hit my touch ID to get in. And it'll say, you must enter your password in order to use touch ID. First of all, what's the fucking point of the touch ID then? And secondly, how the fuck is my password more indicative of who I am than my goddamn fingerprint? Well, I think I actually, weirdly enough, I think I do know the actual answer to your question. Okay, can I do my theory that I just put in my ass and then you tell me how wrong I am, Trey? Is it have something to do with that technology the way it works?

Like you've got to be logged in for them to even access that type shit. Oh, I don't know. That could be it. It could be because it is, because I have a MacBook Pro, again, one of the biggest pieces of shit I ever bought my life. Likewise. But I still have it. Me too.

I'm in it now. The way that specifically, I don't know what the time length is, but there's a length of time where it'll do that. If you come back after a certain amount of time, you can't just use your thumb. You have to put in your password. but once you put in your password, if it just regular goes to sleep or you go to download something on a computer

or any other thing that requires password type shit, you can just use your thumb for it. But if it's been a while, you have to put in the password first. And I think what I was going to say is, and I don't know why this hits or whatever, but none of it hits. I think that's just a version of, you know,

that 2FA shit, two factor authorization, which is all the rage security-wise now. You know, like when you, you'll type in a password on a way, website and it's like we're going to text the number to your phone and you put that in and then we'll let you in there. You can select no, by the way, which I always do.

I'm like, I'd rather be hacked than have to do another thing. Right. Well, I think that that is just like a two FAA thing. So you still got to do the thumb? I'll actually, well, no, I guess not. Yeah, actually, I guess not. Because I was thinking you open it, you try to use the thumb and it pops up and says, no, you've got to put your password in.

But I guess you're right. You just put the password. But on my phone, see, on my goddamn phone where it's the face. On my phone where it's the face. On my phone where it's the thumb. the face, it never says you've got to put your password in before you can use the face. It does. Maybe it does.

Only whenever it's been turned all the way off. Oh, I've never done that. Right. Yeah, I've never done that. That's never happened with my phone. It's never been off. Your phone that never pissed you off enough to make you go fucking what the fuck and you turn it off and turn it back on?

I do that all the time. Yeah, maybe, but I don't remember. Maybe it has and I was in such a rage. If you don't let them update. Maybe it has and I was in such a rage that I didn't realize. oh, I'm having to put in my password. It's turned all the way off where after an update,

which I think turns it off as part of the process. You have to put it in your password in addition to face ID or whatever. Not that anybody gives the fuck, but as soon as my iPhone died, but then everybody's going to be mad at me because I turn the tech screen.

I swear to God I'm done with these motherfuckers. They're horrible. They're horrible people who don't give us any goddamn options and like I've known this for a while but at least the products hits, but the products don't hit anymore. Right.

I know that y'all. Right. I got incompetent child slavery in my hands right now. Right. At least when it worked. I know that it was, you know, just a bit and a thing to do that hit for y'all or whatever. But when we first started touring and stuff, I had like a Samsung and shit. Lord Joe used to roast me all the goddamn time.

Joe tried to get me kicked off a fucking airplane by saying my phone was going to explode. It was all they did that. Yes. You would drop, you were like, hey, he's got one of them exploding phones or whatever. I think you're stupid motherfucker. I was telling y'all then 10 years ago I was like dude fuck Apple but I got y'all y'all badgered me into it and now I'm part of the cult and it don't get it two ways that was genuinely annoying because it wasn't just green like we would have a hard time getting you like shit wouldn't open right like there was issues but those issues were purposely caused by Apple so we were we are poor friends in the getting iPhones yes and I acknowledge that now hold on what airline were we on when this happened? I mean,

I assume Delta. I feel like it was, I mean, very early on there was, we did whatever made sense and then not switch. That's so fucking funny. I have, I do not remember that.

You were deaf and drunk as fuck. I can't believe it. Yeah, no, but Drew, Drew's right. I mean, like,

they, it is like, and I found that out late in, I thought it was just like, Android don't want to do some stuff that hits, but like, no, it was Apple purposely fucking it up.

But, but again, if multiple people in the group have Apple and one person has Android, it's like even though it is apple's fault this does suck here's one here's one i'm in a group chat that i've wanted to leave for a long time there's no reason for me to be in it there's various reasons i don't want to be in it and i can't you can only leave a group chat if everyone has an apple if you got an apple the only thing i could do is block right that whole chat right and then and

i want them to know i left do you know what i mean right well then if somebody says what do you think Drew Yeah. Right. And somebody else would be like, he left, yeah. Yeah. But if they do it now,

they're going to be like, man, no, but it's just Apple, and I've said just before probably on here, but it's just like, I just feel like Apple's whole sort of like,

the impression that I get from them towards their consumers is this whole feeling of like, what are you going to do? Not buy it. Yes. Yeah, that's what we fucking thought. That is it.

And then, and then one it doesn't. Right. And you do buy it. That fuck American. That is it. And I'm actually- Go get your own food at night

from a restaurant you found in a phone book. You fucking fat sack of shit. Dude, and I have like kind of a... I have kind of a... Like, that's my, like, liberal reasoning for hating them because it's extortion. But my capitalist reason for hating them is because I was watching, like,

I don't know if it was a house of cards. It was something that came out and like, right before. the smartphone complete boom. And so every character had a different phone. And I remember the time when everyone had a different phone and it was kind of neat because you had options. It's like I can get the razor.

I can get the sidekick. I can get this. And like, yeah, there were options because it wasn't, there was not a monopoly on everything. So you could get different things. And like I miss. Now you're really for it. Or like a weird religion or so.

Like I said, been doing it for like 10 years now. A bunch of things I like about it. The main thing that got me turned on to it is I'm, you know, I'm a busy man.

It's about how it may seem at times. But I am and it's like I love cooking, but it's hard to make a menu and like plan it out and go to the store and buy everything you need and you buy too much. And then you're up throwing food out. And that drives me insane when I do that. Just another thing I hate myself for when I throw out once fresh food that I turned out I didn't even need.

And hello, fresh solves all. that at one time. They send you the exact amount of the exact ingredients that you need. There's no waste whatsoever.

Y'all ever, maybe this happens to me more. because as we always joke about, I was probably molested when I was younger and thus repressed a bunch of memories. We bookended that ad read with suicide now child molestation and it hits, you know. Well, I mean. For fans with bad memories or who just joined us, and I don't know why I'm doing this. I guess I do think there's levels to sexual assault, right? For sure. I'm fine.

And I think if you've got to get it done to you, fifth grade by a 17-year-old with big tits is the way to go. Without question. And I'm not trying to demean your trauma. I just don't want anyone thinking, damn, Corey just talked about his pastor butt fucking him, and then boys rolled over it. No. No, no, no, no.

And I certainly think that luckily it only fucked me up on a subconscious level, you know, that I had to deal with later. Anyways, I do, I tend to block out a lot of stuff. And like, every now and then I will have like a memory and just be like, well, that was a crazy thing that I or we or somebody did for me not to remember it. And one of the, I was just talking to our buddy, Tony Camel, who, by the way, is on tour right now. Go check out Tony Camel.

He'll be in Atlanta this weekend. And he just put out a really sweet cover album of like 90s, doing bluegrass to 90s stuff, one of which was Santa Monica by Everclear, which I think. Oh, 90's wrong. It's so great, man. And like, I've always loved the Everclear. I've loved all their songs. But it may, I hear him do it.

And I'm like, this should have always been a bluegrass song. If you're anywhere near, Tony, Tony's going to be in Nashville, Atlanta, I think somewhere in Alabama. Eddie's attic. Eddie's attic soon, which is a great venue. Yeah, yeah. That's a great venue. Anyways, me and him were, uh, we mean him were talking like earlier today about bluegrass and stuff. And I was telling about how my dad was in a bluegrass band or whatever, because he's going to come, when they play Chattanooga, he's going to come stay at my house. And I was like, oh, man, you got to stay at my crib. I said, you can play my banjo. I said, and the banjo that I have is actually the banjo that was used to record the original Dukes of Hazard theme song, which is true.

my dad got that banjo in the 80s at the gruins in Nashville or whatever he's like oh that's sick he's like is like you're dad a big bluegrass guy's like yeah he was in a he was in a band you know until i was like five and then it just hit me me and my dad like from the time i was born like up until i was probably nine or ten i don't know why we stopped doing this uh every year on lester flats birthday which was like june ninth or 10th me and my dad would drive to sparta tennessee and pay our respects it's great. And that's such a commitment for a person you never knew. You know what I mean?

That's how much my, like I longed, I think I love stuff, but I can't love something as much as my dad love bluegrass in order to every year be like, we got to make our pilgrimage to Lester Flats grave. Well, especially in Sparta. Right. Sparta don't hit. I don't know about the 80s. I feel like it hits okay now, Trey.

But I almost feel like the way it hits now, you're kind of like, man, I can't believe this town has it. two breweries. This is crazy. Oh, shit. I didn't even know. It's just Sparta's like, I mean, it's so close to Cookville, which is funny because in most people's estimation, Cookville don't hit. They got a restaurant though, right?

But like, yeah, crawbettys, might have heard of it. Good food? Yeah, good food. Some of the best. But anyway. Heard's got a good restaurant too. Charr? Charr, yeah, still rolling. But but yeah, Sparta was like, when I was in college in Cookville and, you know, fucking 20 goddamn years ago,

they like sparta was still very much just like a you know a redneck ass town just you know 15 minutes away from cookville or whatever but i cookville's grown so much i can totally buy but now sparta has breweries and shit in it calf killer yeah that place that they they hit i knew they were in sparta but the calf killer but yeah uh never heard of them it's a brewery in sparta that that they've been there for a river corey that right there the calf killer river which is you know we know what happened there yeah Yeah, that's great. They've been there for, I mean, a long time now, right?

Like, even before, like, I feel like the sort of... Oh, they're one of the explosions of, you know, breweries and gastro pubs all over the place that all that all sell the same cheeseburgers and all have the same general sort of warehousey barn aesthetic and all that shit. I've actually never even been to that. I've had their beer. I just haven't been there. But I like their beer, though.

It is. Speaking of calf killer, did you know that I'm two years older than Custer was when he got his ass kilt. That checks out. It's just wild how old I thought the people were. Drew, how old are you right now? 41. That's what I thought.

Drew is the exact same age that Danny Glover was when he was saying I'm too old for this shit and, but hey, if this makes you feel any better, Drew, I don't feel bad. I mean, I feel physically bad, but emotionally I'm good with all of this. One of my favorite, I think how I met your mother was like, one of the last pretty good like sitcoms of its type

I mean don't you're wrong it jumped the shark but like it you know it's it was funny enough and I like that show and on season three one of my favorite episodes was it was called the Murtaugh episode and it was about they had watched Danny Glover and realized that they were getting close to the age of

Danny Glover's Murta or whatever and they were like so every time something would come up they would just be like I'm getting too old for this stuff they wouldn't say shit because it was that way I'm getting too old but then Marshall had the realization at the end he's like you know Murtaugh kept every movie saying I'm too old for this shit but he kept doing shit you know he just kept

doing shit he's like so guys are we it doesn't matter I was like that's a great way to look at that it's like yeah I'm too old for the shit but you keep doing shit you just keep doing your role that becomes your role yeah you're me and Brian talk about that all the time where we're like like we're getting ready to go to Huluene next week you're too old for that shit um we're way too old for that shit But like, we have to be there to say that while we are helping a 28-year-old come down off of acid.

Absolutely. Dude. We have to be there to do that and then say to over this shit. Yes, dude. When I was younger, like 19 through 23 or whatever, and I'd be at like a big party or something and somebody, some girl would get too sick and vomiting, it was always the guy who probably shouldn't have been there that saved the day. You know what I mean?

He was too old for that shit. But because he was too old for that shit, he knew, hey, everything's going to be fine. Just get her some water. You know, like, you need the guy that's too old for that shit. I'm going to tell you all right now, in my college days, we had the guy that was, you know, definitely too old. He was too old for that shit. And he was the drunkest wildest route of motherfuckers. Yeah.

Out of everybody. Buy a lot. But he still knew the deal. He didn't know it. He didn't know it. Driving drunk on the main drag of Cookville one night, drove it all the. the way back to the apartment, like, sparks flying behind him and just, like, parked in front and just walked in like, what's up, boys, without realizing that he even had, like, a stop sign

behind his car. So we didn't pick it up, drug it and threw it away behind the dumpster, and then the cop showed up and, you know, didn't find it. And so he got away with like everything all the time naturally, but he was fucking, I mean, just a pure, pure lunatic. There's wisdom, though, that comes with, there's wisdom. He didn't know he was too old for that. That's a good spot to be. I doubt he, I doubt he does to this day. Honestly, I haven't seen him in a long time. Yeah, the guy I'm about to talk about is definitely dead. But one of our, one of our too old for this shit guys, we have a train track that goes through Chickamauga

that runs into Chattanooga, which was very beneficial during the Civil War, the Chattanooga Choochoo came through and whatever. And we have this train track that now it's only a little, like a tourist train that passes it really. But anyways, he lived on them train tracks. And it just so happened that a lot of the parties that we went to was also near them train tracks, given they were three and four miles away.

So this motherfucker would get as drunk as he wanted and then drive down the train tracks with his lights off at night because he's like, dude, you don't need to see if you start going in the wrong direction, you'll hit the train tracks and the cops aren't looking for you. And he made it every time.

Yeah, that's insane how, like, I don't know. He was right. That's brilliant. I know. He's like, you can't wreck because if you feel a boom, it's like just go back to the left. And if you feel a boom there, go to the right. And you only can possibly be caught at a few intersections in America. Exactly. Exactly. That'd be so funny if you did.

Like, you've been doing that for years and then you cross in front of a car and a cop's like, what the fuck? Yeah. He was driving down the railroad track. Yeah. Where you accidentally run over Snidly Whiplash and get manslaughter? Snoddy Whiplash, this is a person from your town? No, that's the guy from Rocky and Bow Winkle that always tied the bits to the train. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, old Snodley, you know, Snodley.

Snideley kind of does actually sound like I could see there being a guy in Chick-a-Wiplash, too. Wiplash, too. Yeah, he keeps suing people. Yeah, Snidley Whiplash. Yeah. He falls every month at the Walmart. Now, nobody says around here. Snideley's something fall was too much, so we went with Wisclay for.

flash. Yeah, we settle out of court here. That's our deal. Nothing wrong with that, brother. I'd love to settle a few things out of court myself.

Yeah, I hear you. No, that's, that's, that's our deal. We'll work it out as men, you know,

and then be poor. I, so, Katie had me watch another true crime thing last night. What was it? Edgyne?

No, that's not true. I guess, well, that's true crime fiction, right? Well, yeah,

but that's true crime scripted, I guess what I should say. Oh, okay. you mean like a doc, a documentary, Yeah. Well, when I think of true crime and podcasts and stuff,

I mostly think of the unscripted variety. I guess I do too, but just any, like I consider Mind Hunter true crime. Based on a real, well, okay, well, that, I don't really, those are different. Some of those obviously hit for me. Like Mine Hunter hits me real hard. It's awesome. Yeah, I haven't seen Ed Gain and I don't, I don't, and to be fair, I don't want to.

So I guess I'm not really in those. Whatever. This was a documentary. It's very popular right now, I reckon. I think Netflix just put out this year. It's called The Perfect Neighbor. Y'all saying that. I don't know anything about that.

Andy's talked about it. I got one of them too. By the way, you know there's a very popular podcast that happened in this county. Anyway, go ahead. I've listened to it. There's, uh... So, Cho, you're into this shit.

It checks out because we always said you're a white woman. It checks out that you're into this stuff. I am into the... I mean, it depends. Like, there will be some that, like, I don't care for the Tender Swindler or something like that. To me, it has to be... That's so funny.

Well, I'm not into that. Like, I don't know. It's funny to me because those are the only ones that I can kind of stomach. Oh, really? Yeah. No, the ones I like. I feel the exact same. I feel the exact opposite way.

It's like art. I need scale. I need it to be real big. Well, I just like, I just like ones that are, I like, if they hit close to home, which is scary, but like, I like small town, like, you know, if S-Town was a documentary, like that type of thing. And now, well, I'll say this. I did enjoy the one, the ones about cults.

Like the one that was like the mother. lady or whatever. Like I'm into that. Wild country. Well, yeah. It has to be trashy people doing shit for me to relate and be like, oh, I could see this. Because me and Amber will sit there and watch it and go, that's just like, darling. That's just like, you know,

whatever. I'd rather watch scripted for the record. I can just make this concession with my wife. What, uh, yeah, what I was, you know, when we were in the run up to filming those 30 minutes specials of hours, whatever, I had

a bit, a version of it, which was on there, I was talking about the time, but that's kind of what I'm getting into now about how, like, you know, I just find it fucked up. I'm like, man, this is all real. False crime hits harder for you. I say false crime hits for me just fine. This shit, this is, this is fucking, this. Don't bum you out, you know?

Oh, it blows me out. You're fucking ironing clothes listening to shit like this, but like, so the one we watched last night, like a kid's mom gets murdered in front of him, and you don't see that happen, but you see the immediate aftermath of it. you see the kid like breaking down and crying and screaming and all this shit. And it's like, I was just watching it. And I was like, this is, I don't know. Right.

But with that one in particular, it was a white woman killing a black woman. And the whole like, is she going to face justice and all this stuff? So there was like a systemic racism element to it where they were trying to highlight a societal ill or something. So there's this air of like, oh, this is important at the same time. but it still felt voyeuristic and gross to me. I would never watch something important. And it's like, I don't... It's pornography for crime.

Right. And it's like, yeah, so I just didn't know how to... Just that whole dynamic, how to balance that. For the record? I ended up feeling the whole time, you know, but... For the record and you know this? Well, I think it comes in how you presented as the journalist or documentarian, right? I mean, that's sort of your job there.

And there's probably countless books, essays, et cetera, written on this subject of, like, how to present. a story with a systemic issue underneath without delving into voyeuristic versus how we sell this, though. And we are a gross culture. For the record, I can't. I'm sorry if I'm 41 and old now. We're a gross.

No, we are a gross culture. And I'm not saying I'm not gross. But just to be fair, I can't watch when the main crime is that it was kids, I can't watch that. And that's, I'm not saying you're wrong if you do, but I can't, I can't do those because those do bum me out way too much because that's like way too close to home but like you know like a fucking like the btk killer i can watch that shit you know what yeah so you said you like it when it's closer to home one one another one that katy made me watch was about the night stalker richard ramirez or whatever that's wild valley in l a and that made it hit way less for me right for sure like i was i was like what the

we can't be likely to get killed by oj i'm uh for sure he's dead i think i'm very uninterested in it still, but I do lose some gross factor, I'll admit, the more decades removed we are. Sure. It definitely feels like a historical it's almost like a war or genocide. It's like very easy

to, in my opinion, to joke about the Holocaust versus brutal people in deaths in the past versus like it's still happening. On that note, I've got to go in a minute. Oh, you're fine. Funny you said that I made a post yesterday like, oh my

hero, hero about like how jealous I was of people in 50 to 70 years who get to read about the Trump administration the same way I get to read about Pol Pot and like all the shit that happened before my time or whatever, how like I know that it sucks, but I'm removed from it. And so it's like, oh, we're reading about like Hitler and stuff. You used to read about that and go, boy, ain't that crazy how they used to be? You know what I mean? Well, at least we're not like that anymore, like the starvation of the Oliver Twist kids in fucking England. But yeah, now it's like, I can't laugh about the shit that's happening now because

it's now. But in 50 years, they're just going to look at Trump. Again, the same way we look at Franklin Pierce or Ulysses S. Grant getting a DUI on a horse. You think how funny he is will stand the test of time? Yes, some of it, for sure. Well, also, that's another thing is I don't know how much they ain't have newsreel footage and social posts and stuff of Ulysses as Grant. That's true. That's true. So who the fuck knows. Also, that's assuming that there will be. History classes in 50 years or, you know, this country period. Right. Well, going back to the hidden gym combo, I think the universal threat here is that access and constant video cameraing and talking about stuff all the time make us it worse.

Right, because we're not, we can't myth make as much as we used to. I would say we try. We're over myth made. Okay, sure, sure. but back in the like we because of the internet you can only show the good things and whatever but like the badness will come through or be found out everything can be found out like like you used to have that great bit that I loved about behind the music or whatever and how like one of the reasons we don't have any rock stars now is because we fucking know too much about him like you do there was an there was an air of mystery about him just like dude teddy Roosevelt like the things we know about him is the bull most quote he got shot all this stuff if we had read everything he thought everything he thought everything he thought everything. every day. I bet we'd hate him, you know. Yeah, I think that you're right, and I stand by the bit, but what I think I might have gotten slightly wrong is I don't think it's a scenario of we can't

myth make now. I think now we start myth making too quickly. Too quick. Everybody's go. And then you see right through it. And it's like, just like when, I can't believe we're invoking his name again, when Kirk died, so many people, including my own parents who were conservative, were like, wait, who is this guy? Right, right. People are, I don't even know who he is and people are this in love with him. There's like this, I mean, dude, I don't know.

I got to go. Okay. Love you, buddy. I feel better. Feel better. You're fine. You can just, you can just leave. On that note, just to have some semblance of a through line, did you see where the military rejected the plan to give Charlie Kirk like a posthumous honor or something?

I did not. That hits. that's all I got on that, but that doesn't get it. Yeah. I mean, look, I, you know, may live to regret these words or whatever. But another thing I just saw was that the commander of the Oregon National Guard or something just at a press conference where he was like, he was like, just so we're clear, like, we intend to protect protesters, you know, or whatever. Like, that's what we're here for, you know, basically being like, just everybody knows, we're not going to be out here cracking heads or whatever. and not buying into all the Antifa bullshit.

Right. That, plus what you just said, plus that recent thing where Pete Hegseth did that ridiculous speech to all those generals who clearly, remember Marks and it's like the crowd shots or whatever where they're like fucking face. Jesus. Yeah, and it's like. It's one thing to be neutral because I know they're supposed to be neutral. Like in defense, it's like they aren't supposed to clap and stuff. But body as a, I'm not a body language expert, but those people do exist. I follow them like, you can tell people are like, fucking hell.

Exactly. So that's one of the things currently that I've been clinging to is the idea that like, I know plenty of, I know there's plenty of people higher up in the military that are like war hawks that would just love there to be war everywhere all the time and all that. I'm sure many of them, you know, the real macho alpha male and, you know, probably lean fucking right in a lot of ways and all that shit. I know that that's true,

but I feel like most of them also are very like very, very. see they take all that shit real serious as they should right exactly and they have like that you know to them there's like a warrior's code and honor honor and integrity and all this shit that they really do believe because you can't even joke about that shit and so i feel like what even though they might lean right politically or whatever they look at a fucking clown like pete higgseth or the commander in chief right now and i think a lot of them are like i agree what the fuck is this shit and and i and i think that that means that fucking push comes to shove, they won't, you know,

push the fucking button or whatever at the end of the day, you know, when it comes down to it because they still have some semblance of sanity left. I think a lot of it is like, and this is pretty much every single president, and I'm including Republicans, I'm including George W. Bush, and not that some,

not that Ronald Reagan didn't do a lot of fucked up shit, Bill Clinton, no, all these people have done fucked up shit. But like, I do think they understood, the whole like, I'm president of the United States, not president of the people who voted for me. And the military, when they take their oath, and I think that most of them take it seriously,

we're here to defend the United States. I'm here to defend the people who disagree with me. I'm here to defend the people who hate me. And that's a thing. Like, they might not like it, but I do think the good ones go that I'm here to defend the Constitution of the country, not the people who agree with the version of the Constitution that my political party has cooked up in their fucking head, you know. And I think that most presidents got that,

and I think that most military leaders up until now got that. And I think a lot of the people who joined the military, they're at least older in the military, signed up with that idea, and they're kind of watching it be like, the commander-in-chief be like, hey, you're our guys. You're my guys. You're my guys. You know what I mean?

and that's, it's all puppeteering, but that's puppeteering at a level that even they are like, dude, fuck you, you know. And then, and I think to be fair to Trump's brain trust, I think they, uh, I think they definitely know that too, which is why they're pumping more and more money into ice. And they're so they're trying to make ice their own like, military.

Her stop by deputized paramilitary force or whatever. It's 100% that will, that will just do whatever they say. Because they know. that the actual American military and the leaders that we're having stuff won't sign up for that. And because there are people that just,

they literally signed up for this. Like it's not like they signed up because it's not like they signed up during peacetime and now we're at war. They signed up to be this. You know, which is a completely different thing. I want to say this before we go. I actually felt, I felt

really proud of myself today. You know, because I think it was Obama, I heard, say, that like principles without action or principles when you buckle in the face of consequence or just like theater. It's like, oh, it's great to have these morals that you say, but then if they're tested and you go the other way,

then they were clearly just theater. And I got, for the first, I'm pretty sure for the first time, unless you count tractor supply, which I was still technically in a probationary period, and I got fired for, well, I did cocaine. But again, I was in a probationary period.

This is the first time I've ever been fired from a job. I was fired from the Atlanta Journal Constitution today. And not at one point did I think to myself, I've been canceled. I've been, you know, they're out to get me all this shit. My first thought was just like, hey, what are you going to do? And I know that's not like some grand thought, but I was a little bit proud of myself that it didn't even make me mad.

I didn't think to blame anybody but myself. And I just went on with my life. I don't know. Did you have a contract with them? And was it still in effect? And they terminated it early or they did not renew? No, they terminated it early. I renewed it in August.

I renewed it. And not only... They didn't tell you why? No. And they told me if I had... And I made videos for them. But when I worked for the New York Daily News, when I got fired,

it's because as far as I can tell, I got literally everyone involved in hiring me fired all at once. So, you know, I think I got you beat there. I think that somebody stepped in and it was, they were so against, you know, my whole thing there that they fired everyone involved with even having that idea bringing me on all at the same time. So, you know.

I've definitely had the thought like that it must be something just because we, I just renewed my contract in August. And right before I. renewed my contract, they had me down there and, like, wind and dine me and told me, which they didn't have to do and told me, like, all their dreams for the future of what I was doing. I have no doubt it's something, but that's my point is I have no doubt it's something I did, but like, that's on me. That's my fault. Like, they're, they're a company that is allowed to be like,

man, he's a little too wild on the internet, you know? Like, I don't, my freedom of speech has not been hindered. Did they have a change in management or ownership or anything like that? anybody at the top. That's what happened to me, and that's normally what's happened with all of our things. That's usually what happens. It's a regime change. My new comes in and they're like, I ain't feeling this. And a lot of times they don't even have anything.

People new come in and they want to just, everything to be there. They want to be their things. Of course. Things that are not their thing, whether it's good or not, they're just like, get rid of that. I'm starting over and putting, remaking this in my image is what happens. The thing that I'm saying to my family is, and this is true, and this is true, they literally just announced last month that they are getting rid of paper completely.

They're going all digital. And so, dude, it is a bummer. And with that, is going to come, if they're doing that and they're like, okay, we're not going to be like, yes, don't get me wrong, paper is going away. They still are losing subscriptions

of old people who were like, well, I'm not getting a fucking computer for this shit. So like, yeah, they're having to save money. And dude, if I'm running the Atlanta Journal Constitution, if I have to fire some people, the opinion columnists are going first because they're just kind of a addition to the paper. So I get it. That's what I'm saying.

Which, by the way, the reason that when it happened, I was just like, and this is, I'm so happy that I've been doing good with my mental health and eating better and not drinking as much and stuff because like I felt nothing but like gratitude because I was like, I got fired, but I was like, you know what? I never even thought I would write for the Atlanta Journal Constitution. begin with. I felt I had imposter syndrome the entire time I was there. And you can take the job away from me, but you can never take away the fact that I had it. And that I was, and also, and I know this is a made up, like, trophy to give myself, I was one of the last opinion columnist

to ever have their name in print at the heralded Atlanta Journal Constitution. And I can just look at that and go, that's a W. That's a W. But I don't feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like if I was a grifter, I could make something of this. I'm just not. I'm just like, hey, they fired me. What are you going to do? I can't believe they didn't do it earlier. You know what I mean? But by the way, I still think you should support that paper.

Unless, by the way, I'll say this. If you're here and you only subscribe to that paper to read my shit, delete it. So you don't need it and just go follow me everywhere else. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that you're right about the fact that they're getting, they're going full digital and getting, that means that they're like that's definitely indicative of the fact that they're making cuts and shit like you said and i'm low man on the totem pole why wouldn't i be i've only been there a year and i'm i'm not a journalist i'm a comedian that writes stuff right yeah all right well

you uh i know that you've already pretty much landed on your feet right can't talk about that but anyway oh yeah do immediately our fans are they'll be all fucking worried and sad and shit no no no no i'm not trying to i'm not trying to do a bit here here. Like, I really, like, I started meditating a couple months ago, and everybody knows my mental health journey has been going on for five years, and I've had my peaks in my valleys, but, like, dude, I'm in, like, this shit doesn't even affect me at all anymore because, as I told Amber this, and yeah, immediately I sent a text and got another job, and it was fine. But, like, Amber was all worried, and I just told her, and I was like, I know this is cliche, and this sounds

like some fucking secret bullshit, but worrying does not pay the bills. There's nothing, There's no, I know that your first reaction of worrying, you can't help that. But like after that, it's like the only thing that helps in a situation like this is a plan of action. And worrying is actually going to negatively affect my plan of action because it puts me in a bad place. So like, if I thought that worrying could actually accomplish anything or complaining could actually accomplish anything, I would do it, but it will not. Now, by the way, I think that if you're truly wrong, you should complain. You have a reason to complain. but like I just don't believe in that shit anymore

and so I don't know I just don't I don't look at it that way you know I'm like something else something else always comes up because I work hard I'm good to people and I'm talented there you go and I'm white by the way on that note in particular let's close out this episode
