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, 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 skew 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 mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better, and it's called Rocket Money. Rocket Money is a personal finance app

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 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 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 friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was money.

What was that 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. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

They're the. Once I walked out of my house to like go to school in the morning and a the neighborhood tow truck driver, okay, who was an alcoholic who drove the tow truck. hammered every day and everyone knew it and still called them to pick their car up or whatever. 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 but they got three big old dicks that you can suck.

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Hey, look who's back. Hey, it's Drew. Drew's back. Hey, bud. What's up, guys? You look jacked, kind of. You know, we out here, me and Brian.

I feel like every time I wear a tank top in the last like five months, you say that, which I appreciate it as a comment. Oh, really? You keep being shocked. This is funny. I mean, I don't recall me having said that. So, yeah, I'm just, every week's a reset for me, man, which is like a nightmare. as far as like handling business and being in relationships and stuff.

But it is cool that like, you know, reruns ain't the same for me. It's just new hits all the time. You got to redo it. Yeah. Yeah, you got to redo all of it. So it's like everything. I get that. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I didn't realize I missed two in a row. Are we cutting out? What did you say? No, I didn't say nothing. You're good. You missed two in a row.

Yeah, because you've been dead. Well, not me. Yeah. Right. I feel like I'm freezing, guys. It's like, no, I just wasn't going to, if you wanted to talk about your reason,

I was going to let you, but I wasn't going to prod it. That's all that was. I talked about it on Gravy, baby. We went through the whole thing. You know, DJ struggled in general with it. He loves animals, and then it brought up his feelings about Duke,

his great dog. Mick Jagger, Mick Jagger, Pup, Pup, the Mick Dog, Sir Michaelus Morgan is no longer with us. I physically literally buried him myself. He had a great life. He had a great run. We can talk to about it as much or as little as you guys want. It's very heartbreaking, but it's so hard to feel anything other than, I guess,

gratitude is the word when you get 14 and a half years with a basically perfect dog. Other than barking at people annoyingly when they would come over for about a minute and a half to three minutes, depending on your heart, right? I hit for him every time. Well, he barks at almost everybody, but the difference between a minute and three minutes has to do with he can read your heart. Andy's obviously pretty heartbroken. It's tough.

Anyone who's lost the dog is tough, but people have been really sweet. In fact, this might be strange, but one person wrote something that I thought was so beautiful. It was like, well, I can't say it any better than that. So we can move on because it is a bummer. But again, it's beautiful. I want to honor Mick. But like, can I just read what this person commented on the baby episode when I talked about it? Try, you can go on me if you want to.

Sorry to be. No, I think this is, I think this is a good perspective. Sorry about your dog, Drew. My last dog spent his last few years having terrible seizures. By the time he finally passed, it was heartbreaking, but almost a relief that I didn't to see him go through that anymore. And now I totally get why you have been missing the well-read recordings. No one should have to be exposed to Corey while they're grieving.

I just thought they're really, I feel like that was really something that was hard-felt. And, you know, I read that at mixed graveside. Yeah, I read the mixed-graside. Get the whole thing tattooed them. And when I did a butterfly, a butterfly landed nearby. And, you know, me and Andy embraced and I was able to say goodbye. That's amazing. Expertly done.

I did not see that coming at all. I didn't either. I didn't either. That was well done. Really hit for me. Last thing, I will say, I don't know what. You know how hard it's been to save that? That's great.

It's a six-day-old hit. I can sit at a mark that we're done now. Yeah, right. I think it, I think, inarguably, it made it hit harder because I was definitely, you sold it, man. I was expecting some real you know, and something that I would enjoy and feel because I'm a dog lover, but that Trey would just

be fucking eyes rolling in the back of his head. This is stupid. Their fertilizer. I'm not going to lie. I didn't even think of that, but when I realized you were locked in and Trey hated me, I was like, oh, this is a love it. I didn't hate it.

I didn't hate it. I was like to just completely flip them. Yeah. No, I do want to say this. Whatever the fuck you were feeding Mick, that's what all dogs should eat because I've, like, it was hard,

even though I know that he was 14 and a half, it was hard for me to believe that because, like, he was always just a fucking puppy. I'm going to be honest, I think he would have made it to like 20. Well, he made his food for years. Yeah. And then she started buying the expensive stuff. I think he would have made it to 20.

It was kidneys. Yeah. His kidneys failed, and we're pretty sure that that walkabout he went on that resulted in upwards of 40 ticks and did end up giving him the dog version of Lyme disease and all that. None of which is necessarily daily for dogs, but I do think that that is like that sped up his kidney issue. I think his kidneys had to work overtime, and then they were like, you know what, let's die on this farm in Tennessee. Yeah, fuck this. But no, it's all been hard, but it's all been. and really, I don't know, man.

Maybe it's because of the kid. Maybe because shout out, Teets. Teach sends me his gratitude list every morning, so I just been sending one back. And it's like, there's so many mornings where I'm like, I don't feel gratitude in my heart right now. I'm just going through the emotions. But I don't know if it's that or the kid or just all of it.

I don't know, man. Literally, I mean, I've cried a lot, but all week I've just been like, God damn, man. I so won with that dog. For sure. That is, that's what makes it sad. But like, we got so much time with him. We got bonus time when we thought he ran away and got hit by a coyote.

And then, you know, like I said, that message I'm going to get tattooed on my back. I definitely think the kid thing has a lot to do with it because I've never experienced it, but I have thought about that a lot. And like, you know, because I still think of Palmer sometimes. Like, that's how stupid I am with dogs. And I know you will be too. I mean, he's been dead for like four years. It took me like two years to be, even be able to cut through the, the,

pet food in a grocery store. But I've been thinking recently, like, and how close me and Bain are and how much I was like, I bet it, like, because I know he's going to want to get a dog, and I've been like, God damn it,

I don't want to go through it again, man. I just don't want to fucking go through it again. I was like, I bet it will be easier. The hard part will be watching him die for my kid, you know, obviously. But like,

yeah, like once you have the love of a child, like, Bain makes me forget about all my problems pretty immediately when he's just being cool. So I feel like that would be one of them. So let me ask y'all this.

Like, I'm sure we've talked about this before, but how much different was y'all's childhood experience than mine as far as, so you're just talking about buying, he'll want a dog, it's going to be heartbreaking when he

ultimately has to lose that dog. Fifth, you know, when he's in high school, he's about to graduate high school and go to college and the dog dies of all day and everybody cries. And it made me think about how, like, I literally couldn't even tell you how many different dogs I had as a child. And I'd say they lasted on average six to eight weeks, probably. All that, just all that. They got all that.

You name it. They got plowed by a truck in the road. They got fucking poison or shot by a neighbor. they just ran off and never come back like I mean dude I mean we just went through them okay well that's why it like and I was just sitting here like because he was saying about mine I was like

I mean I never had that experience at all but then I was like it seems like they would have had this you know did they don't have the same experience I did and I mean I get you get older ours lasted longer yeah we had I had both I had both We weren't allowed to have inside dogs. So I had outside dogs, which that explained like everything. That's where the coyotes are.

And nobody, we didn't tie them up or pin them up or nothing like that. You know what I mean? And they were outside. So they just like, you know. Right. And so percentage wise, you're going to lose a lot of dogs as you did. So here's what happened with me, though. Here's what happened with me.

We got a feist when I was like three or four. Feistee. It was what we named her. I think my brother did it. You know, he was seven. Let's go easy on him. That was my dog. Like, she just latched on to me.

She loved me. We had that dog eight years. You do the math, like three to 11. That dog, I would sit that on the porch, and it would just force its nose under my arm. It would cuddle me every time I came outside. It followed me everywhere. Would not get her fixed. Don't know why.

I mean, every time she got pregnant, my dad would get mad. But no one would try to do with the goddamn vague. Yeah, that's what I want to know, too. What happened to the puppies? Yack, yak, yeah. Some very positive and some very negative outcomes, depending on, you know, how were the Vols doing that year, boys? Right.

Yeah. Take it out on a bag of puppy. That dog died when I was like 11 and crushed me. Yeah, I do. Like cried for three. straight weeks, told my mom I hated her because she had told me ignorantly that there might be a medicine we could get it. And then we got down to Wurtberg to like go grocery shopping.

And I was like, let's go to the fucking vet right now. And she was like, she went to the woods and died. She's not coming back. We get home, dogs back. So then we drive back to Wurtberg to get to medicine. I literally don't even, like now, at the time, I thought, we're going to go get something. She's going to drink it.

She's going to be fixed. No, my mom probably went in that event was like, just give me a fucking bottle of something. I made the mistake of giving this kid a hope and now I have to keep it going. When he drive back home, he's gone again into the woods, never see her again. I told my mom I hated her.

Like that broke up. I never loved another dog till Mick Jagger. And that wasn't conscious. Like, not consciously because I was too little, but I remember being in college and mom was like, Sweetpeed died and I was like, who? She was like, our dog.

And I was like, I don't know that. Fuck that dog. And so Mick, you know, when we get him, and he's like, we're going to have an inside dog. They were inside dog people. I was like, the fuck we are. We're not having an inside dog. It's going to be hair where this sucks. My one rule was not on the bed then.

Like, if we're going to do this, that dog cannot ever be in the bed with us on my bed. If I catch him on the bed, I'm going to beat it. You know, like just being a dumb redneck, right? Of course, like, day three, I'm catching them on the bed all the time. I'm not beating anybody because it's not really who I am anymore. Well, guess where Mick died in my bed. Andy and I have separate beds now because of Razzie, he died in my bed. I went from like, I'll never love another dog again.

And if you let that dog near my pillow, I'll kill both of you to fast forward. Like, I put him on my bed when he was sick and that's where he died. So. Glad you didn't snap and beat him. it's been a long time since I've done that. Yeah, but I don't know people, there's one of those things that I just know that people listen to it. It's just like,

unforgivably barbaric. And I get that. But like, and Salina, like, I used to have a bit about how dogs, like, dogs don't go to the vet. Like the fucking vet is for cows and horses and animals that make money and shit like that. You know, like fucking not a dog. But like literally, people,

they didn't get fit. They didn't get shots. They didn't get like, they were just born and then went to your yard and then good luck. And, you know, and they either get like, like I said, diseases run over. It just, you know, and that's just how dogs were treated. And we alluded to when they get pregnant and had puppies, the puppies were backed up and, you know, thrown off the dam. Or whatever. And this is just.

So only one, and it was right as I, it's like this makes it sound like I was doing something to these dogs the whole time, which I wasn't, I promise. But when I was in high school, like my sophomore junior year of high school, somewhere around in there, we got a new, we found a new puppy somewhere named her Layla. And then I moved off. Do what? Because of Clapton? Yes. Yeah, my dad. Yeah.

It's funny because Eric Clapton's like a virulent racist and horrible person. But sure could shred though. Yeah, right. So, no, that's true. At that time, people did not, people did not know that because this was like a say, I was in high school. He really did it backwards. He certainly got so much more out of that earlier in his career.

And he was like, keep it. Yeah. But so named her Lila. She was sort of like corgi-ish, but. definitely like a street mutt. But, uh, and then I went off to college and Layla died of old age years later. Like after my dad died, Ma Ma Ma Ma'am had her for ever. I mean, so that would have probably got Layla in 2002.

So yeah, she probably made it till, I mean, the mid-20-mid, mid-20s. No, Layla was cool. She was precious. But, uh, but I'm saying when I was there as a kid, no, none of them had, I mean, any staying power. It wasn't just dogs by way. Everybody knows I love cats. Cats too.

We had a cat once. I walked out of my house to, like, go to school in the morning. And the neighborhood tow truck driver, okay, who was an alcoholic who drove the toe trunk hammered every day. And everyone knew it and still called him to pick their car up or whatever. he it's 715 in the morning i walk out to go to school the cat is not really in the road but is in the yard by the side of the road and he comes hurtling down this fucking small back street going like 60 miles an hour at 7 a.m. hammered drunk and just smushes that cat right in front of me and my sister never slows down just hauls ass but like dude it was an absolute horror show when I was and this was all just completely

totally fucking normal and like people just don't people don't know or understand this shit you know some people do let me say this there was another one hold on hold on I'll let you tell the other one but let me just say this let me get this off

there's been a mystery on the internet lately of who the fuck is jelly roll now we've been talking about him for years but as he's like on American Idol now and there's this thing of like how's this dude this who's listening to this people who saw some shit like that growing up yeah yeah yeah right yeah yeah yeah right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i know we're all laughing about this i know a huge chunk of the listeners are again

so appalled and it's not funny i know because they're so sensitive i know i'm sorry i know i again All I'm doing is reporting the news. I was a child for all this. I just witnessed it. Another one that comes to mind, we're talking about how quick, how much they... It could have not been an alcoholic

and it would have still been funny, but my God. Biggest drunk in town, dude. Fattest, fattest, dumbest, drunkest motherfucker in all of Salina. His name was literally,

his name was literally Bubba. Like, Bubba, I'm not making any of that up. And, Bubble killed my pet. Yeah. And his dad, his dad talked like fucking Farmer Fran or whatever from,

that's how his dad taught. But anyway, all just pure insanity. But one time, like I was talking about, they might have lasted on average six to eight weeks. That average is being pulled down by at least one particular pet because I remember we were in between dogs. And my aunt, like, called one day. It was like, hey, in my trailer park, there's a box of dogs. That's such a great time for a special, by the way.

If it's in between dogs, it's amazing. My aunt calls like, hey, down here in our trailer park, there's a box of dogs if y'all want one, you know. So we're like, yeah, let's go get a dog. Tell our dad, this is post-divorce. It's just us and our dad already. And he drives us over there. And it's these little, like, they're much, but little snow white. They look like white lab puppies.

Yeah. You could imagine, like, very standard dog, dog issue dogs, but they're like pure white. So they're, you know, they're pretty cute, especially for like boxed salina box dogs. Pretty, pretty nice. It's like five-year-podist pro v. One of the woods. Yeah, that's the box dog. Right.

So, so we got one, a little boy dog. I mean, you know, and they're like freshly waned and all this shit. Take it home. Name it Elvis. I remember that. I remember his name was Elvis. We named it Elvis. Leave him outside like we left every other dog outside.

Get up to go to school in the morning. This particular instance, me and Paige are probably 11 and 8, 10 and 7, something around there. We got him the day before, put him outside that night. Get up to go to school in the morning. We get in the car. My dad, he cranks the car up. He puts his arm over the seat and goes to, you know, back up. And as soon as the car moves an inch, we just hear.

like snap go right and he was like oh well what was that puts it in park gets out you know and you can just him go oh man you know god damn yeah right it fell asleep right behind behind underneath like wedged underneath the back tire of the goddamn car the first night we had the fucking thing He didn't make it 24 hours, dude. Like, it's like, it was literal, like, animal abuse. Just me and my sister having pets as children. Like, it's like criminal negligence. Just, oh, my God, dude.

This is to say nothing of the litany of hamsters, iguanas, fucking birds, everything. Like, nothing. Nothing survived. Nothing, dude. Oh, my God. Cousin Jared's cat. I think this was like week one.

Cousin Jared's kitten, also the neighbor. Cousin Sherry's boyfriend, John, he had his hood off his car. I might have just been missing, you know. And I guess the kiddie got in there because when he parked, it was warm inside that. But he cranked that thing the next day, and I guess it scared the cat when he cranked it so it jumped. It cut that fucking cat in like four pieces and sloy it all over the inside of the car. And then we all had to go look at it. Of course.

Hell yeah. It was squalling, not coming out. We was all like, hey, come look. Cousin John accidentally slaughtered the cat. There was guts. We had literally that same thing happened once with a cat, but that cat must have been in a different part of the engine. and got crazy lucky because my dad fired the engine up and you just hear like,

but they like shot out from under the truck and ran off and was fine. But so, or you know, used up four or five of its nine lies, I guess. I think maybe John had a few screens and guards missing underneath there

where the hood was also gone. It's a fucking car motor. You know. Yeah, you know that lives ain't doing shit. I mean, I hate to say this, but I would love, I would genuinely love if there had been like a 300 frames per second camera filming that. I'd love to see a cat get torn apart by a car, just to see what it does. I think you're wrong.

I know it sounds like, no, no, no, you're not morally wrong. I'm not getting on to you. I think that's just like, and we've talked about this on here before, I saw Joe Rogan years ago in college reacting to. someone showing him two girls one cup. Oh, yeah, that's right. And in that video,

he says, nothing's going to shock me, dude. I saw a guy to get fucked to death by a horse. And that sentence was funny, so I went and looked at it. I think you think you want to see that cat situation.

And then if you did, you'd be like, I don't know why I did that. What about it? Because cats are pets, though, what about like if it was a gazelle or something? Like,

would that make me, because I understand it would be more for a cat because I do associate cats. I've loved cats. I have a cat that I love. But like, What is weird. Tiger eat a gazelle.

That's what I was about saying. What is weird about what you're saying is that it's like, seeing a pack of predators rip an animal apart or something can be, I mean, that can be fucked up too. I told you recently on another episode. I don't want it to be done for my entertainment. I saw one where like a lioness,

like bit of fucking antelope's dick off while it was alive, like just to start in like that, you know, but like some of the things, like nature is metal stuff. sometimes it's wild and it does hit in a wild way. But even that sometimes, though, you're like, God damn, this is too much. But like Drew was saying that horse, I never saw that horse video, but I remember I was going to ask another thing about childhood, the Halcyon days of the internet, right?

Were people at y'all school or either of y'all or anybody into those like rotten.com or bangedup.com or those sites? because, like, I had some buddies that were super into that, and I always, always hated that shit. Yeah. And they would, like, trick me into watching it or be like, I'll watch it. Stop being a pussy. Watch this. And it's literally like a captured Russian soldier getting decapitated with a dull knife or whatever. I know.

Right. I saw that one. And it's like, and it's like, what the fuck? And it's like, just like whatever, teenage ed lord edge lord shit. That was a Daniel Pearl video, wasn't it? I don't know. I don't know. I just remember the-

sophomore year of college before. before that kind of thing started happening. And, you know, some people were into, they were like, check this out. And I was like, fuck off. And there was very little like, you know, I was at an age where like, I don't remember many people trying to trick me into doing it after that. I hated that shit. Me too.

Dude, Jeffrey Goetre, he kept going to be gonorrhea vaginas. I got luck. Blue Waffles? Yeah, Blue Waffle, Lemon Party. Yeah, Blue Waffle has ruined my. Lemon Party is funny, dude. Lemon Party is funny. That one's fine.

But Lemon Party and Blue Waffle, those kind of came as a package. deal. And Lemon Party, yeah, it's just a bunch of old dudes sucking each other's dicks. Hell, that's all right. Tub girl, goatsy. Tub girl was rough. Tub girl.

Luckily, I thought tub girl was funny. I'd get people with tub girl. Luckily for me, when this stuff was popular, I get, like, we didn't have cell phones or nothing. So in order to see it, it had to be you go over to someone's laptop. So there wasn't someone constantly being able to put it on your face or shove it into your phone. But like, yeah, I remember like the two girls one cup, like,

You don't like seeing it. You like after you have seen it, you're like, well, fuck, they must see this too. Like, that's what the people like is the showing of it. But dude, like, I saw a dude sit, squat on a glass bottle and I was like, dude, no more that guy's hurt. Like, I can't, like that hurt me, you know. But I feel like if it was a- That's one guy, one jar or something is what they call it.

Is that what they call it? That's another famous one. I never saw that one either. But yeah, those types of videos that the internet's all about, that they've just, I've, those have never hit for me. I've never understood the appeal of those. Well, I will say leave it to trade. We opened this podcast talking about the death of my precious, perfect angel

and trades like, man, you remember when they used to like cut dollars and half on an internet? That's a while. God damn. I was this thinking, I was like, of all the stuff we've ever talked about in on this podcast, this is the one that we most need to put a trigger warrant. at the beginning or like an explicit like hey don't because yeah all this shit is fucking hilarious to me but i know there's some people that it ain't too and i get it right i get it this is so funny this just happened i got an alert on my phone i just got a venmo request by someone who says they're a

fan they're asking for ten dollars because they're going through a rough breakup and they want to drink that's so fucking wild i think i might give him the ten bucks just because that's the most insane ridiculous thing i've ever seen him all Yeah. I've gotten, can you just like search, you can just like search for people on Vimmo, right? Like,

you just type in a name or whatever. I've gotten plenty of give me monies, but not just like, hey man, I'm a fan. I'm going through a rough patch. Honesty. I mean,

I'm saying I'll get them every now and that like, it always don't hit for me, obviously. A Vimmo request for, because it's always. $10? No, no,

no, no, no. It's always more and it's always like, I'm going to lose my house or whatever. That makes more sense to me. Because that's, either an insane person or a desperate person. This is just a sad guy asking me to buy him a beer.

That's so goddamn. I've never met him as far as I know. Yeah. Yeah, send him the tan. I'll send you another 10 to send him. That's harder. It's a dangerous precedent. You know what I mean,

like what you're doing? Like obviously, because if they're telling the truth, then it pulls at you, but at the same time, you can't be doing that. But I'm saying that's a desperate or a crazy person. This dude is just, I think just somebody with real bad manners.

Like, you don't know. Me too. I'll just, you know, shoot, shoot, shoot, man. You do shoot, man. And like, you know, we're, and that's, I think that's why we haven't really made it this far in this business. Because that behavior that guy's exhibiting to Drew is actually the type of behavior you should have in this business is like, be obnoxious, ask, ask, ask. And we don't have that. Right.

Four strangers have asked me if they can open for me in the last month and a half. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Strangers. If we work together, that's, dude, absolutely. And I do recommend openers and stuff, but I don't know you. What do you mean? Yeah. Like, you're cold-dalling trying to feature, dog?

But, hey, you know, I, whatever. Well, yeah, but the other one is like, you know, to your point. Right. People always say, it's not stand-up, but another, you know, facet of the industry. You always hear these stories about whatever. Someone like, I don't know, pretend. thing to be a, or being a caterer at some event and going up to some big producer, director,

and then slipping them a script or whatever out, like kind of nowhere, cold. Never. And then it works. But then you always also hear people say, hear those people on the other side of that, but not just them, but anybody in the industry say like, oh, yeah, no, that, you know, we literally can't read scripts like that because if we then make a movie that is remotely similar to any of that shit, we could be sued. So we had to have a policy of never reading any of them.

them so that won't work, so don't even try it. But then you literally hear story. And maybe it's all just old stories of a different time where that used to work. But you just still hear stories of people taking their shot and doing some shit like that or just basically pestering people, whatever. Like you got to put yourself out there. And I'm like, it just blows my mind that it ever works like on anybody, you know, because I'd be like, bro, no.

Like, I mean, I feel like the people that do it, you know, obviously the ones that have been successful in it or like outliers that like no it's because they really hit or they were super good looking and charming like you know john ham could get away with doing that more so than i could you know what i mean like he fucking looks like john ham but like i feel like right people that look like john ham are just like i'll be fine just looking like john ham i don't i'll just go audition you know what i mean yeah there's that i think if i've ever done it of any any version of it's right you got one yeah yeah yeah Right, I did. I was drunk.

And it did, you know. No, that's, that's different. That was a soliloquy. Yeah, that was also, the tone of that was very much like, you all, y'all don't know shit if you don't think I hit or whatever. And you're spitting. Like, yeah. Tony-A-Twitty.

Yeah. But, yeah, that for everybody, I mean, we've definitely told it on here before, but over the year. But I sent a email, unsolicited email to an executive at CMT and the pre- hit days when I was drunk one night just telling I'm like, look, if you don't, if you don't see what I got to offer a network like CMT, then you don't know shit, basically. I was a little more diplomatic than that, but it was insane.

I said it to Corey and Drew the next day. It was like, hey, y'all think this was like, you know, too much or whatever, and Drew, it was the first responding. He goes, well, it appears to be a manifesto. And then, so then we started calling it the manifesto, and then when

first went viral and stuff, and we got the book and they wanted to call it, the Redneck Manifesto. That was hilarious too because they didn't even know that that had been a running joke already. But yeah. So that's the only time I can think of that I've ever done it and it didn't, you know, didn't amount to anything. Even once I started hitting it didn't amount to.

It's too late now. But if you had two years in, got drunk and then replied to that and been like, bet y'all regret not replying, bitch. So kind of related, but not exactly. just be weird. Yeah, it wasn't the same person. So, right, yes, that too. But I know what the bit you were doing was, but that's not what I meant.

Surely or early, relatively early on in the hidden period, I had a lunch with T. Bowen and Callie and there's a bunch of other people there, including the guy who was no longer, but had very recently been the president of CMT. And during this lunch, he was like, he was like, I'd tell you something. right now, if you'd ever walk through the door when I was there, I wouldn't have let you leave without, you know, giving you something or whatever. And I was like, and all I did was like, yeah, I hear you, you know, but in my head, I was like, you don't know how funny and wrong that is.

What? Dog, I got to got the phone out. You had to got it out. Y'all got a printer? I'll be right back. Well, I know that that dude, because I remember for sure it was a woman that I emailed. Oh, yeah. Yeah, definitely.

And I don't even remember how I got her email address either. That's funny. Isn't it because you went and drunk hitting her email address? Huh? No, y'all did that. We did a showcase thing, but was there a CMT? Was it that person? Was she there?

Maybe. It was right after that. It definitely was right after that. That's why it hit for me so hard, because me and you had just run up there to a cold crowd because the comics weren't hitting and smoked. that absolutely smoked back to back. So I was like, fucking hell,

I wish you to C-C'd me on that bitch. But now I don't know if that woman was there. You just did some Google. I mean, you got, you was on them military computers at the time. You could fucking figure anything out. Yeah, I was funny. So my two,

one like that, this is quick. When we were working with Comedy Central and we were getting very frustrated with them, rightfully. So now we kind of realized they were imploding the whole company. but they were like jerking us around not give us a show putting us on their digital platform all of our fucking sketches would go viral they'd suck our dicks but then like the people above the people sucking our dicks i think is but anyway i did a show a very hip cool show in new york that pd hosted it was pdi dabru our old friend from our cell not seller fuck what was the name of that club east the lantern or that no no no the lantern day yeah yeah yeah anyway i

Anyway, he hosts at the seller now. Anyway, Pedy had a show, and I was in town. He threw me on, and dude, Che was on it. Michael Chee was on it. Fucking Nimish Patel was on. I mean, it was killer. Joe Zimmerman, I smooched. Like, I fucking murdered.

One of the best sets ever. And this woman had introduced herself to me right before I went up there. It was basically like, I'm your New York counterpart of the people you've been working with at Comedy Central in L.A., which meant, just meant that I do sketches in New York. on the digital platform. This is a young nobody. When I got off that stage, she was like, that was a great set. I was like, yeah, and you better fucking tell everybody in your whole department how good it was.

And that y'all need to stop jerking us around and also put us on the stand-up side of your digital platform. No shit. And the way she looked at me, I'll never get, she looked at me like, oh, you're insane. Right. And then Reggie Cush, who's now on Wilden out, was standing there. And he goes, what the fuck's wrong with you? Yeah. He goes, that girl don't know nobody at Comedy Central, you dumbass.

I've probably done it and don't remember. Oh, I know you've done it. Not cold, but I reached out to Sam Marell when he was doing the Biju. And we'd worked together once. And Gary Veter was opening for him. I didn't know that. He told me. But he was like, I was like,

I'll send you a tape. I don't know if you got anybody. I know sometimes you look for locals in these situations. We're a few months out. I'm actually in Knoxville now. He was very kind because he was like, dude, I know you're funny. You don't need to send me a tape, but I got Veter opening. It's kind of a closed deal.

And I was like, that's cool. That's the only two times I've done anything like that. Corey, maybe this isn't exactly. No, I think it is. Okay. In Nashville, we were hanging out with an executive from Warner Brothers. on more than one occasion. You drunkenly let her know that, you know, we were the special and,

or we were the truth in a special singular talent, you know, and all this stuff and that they would be insane not to, you know, make something out of it or whatever. I don't remember, because I remember. We all just told the truth. Right. But I wasn't, we were sitting in some restaurant and I was sitting there like, Lord, here he goes.

you know, like, because I was. And, uh, the original thing we were talking about was unknowns who would sneak around and, and, you know, perpetually ask people for favors and bother them. And while what I did was annoying, I don't think it's the same thing. We were at least there in some context to talk about how much we hit. You know what I'm saying? Like, that was, that was part of it. I may have laid it on a little too thick and lied.

Yeah. No, you ain't ever laid it on too thick. Well, I'll tell you what, if you have ever laid it on too thick, you know what you could do is thin it out with some of my some stuff from IndyCloud. You know what I mean? Get a real good, just take all the haze away from you. You know what I mean? Get in there and relax. Indicloud is absolutely fantastic marijuana that I've been using for a while now.

It's a very, at least the amount that I take, a very delicate buzz, but I'm also able to still be creative on it. That's not been the case with a lot. They sort of just put me out, but, you know, not with this stuff. You ever sit down to watch one episode and suddenly it's 3 a.m. and you're emotionally invested in a bacon show from New Zealand? Well, our friends in the cloud make that journey way more enjoyable. They make legal, hemp-derived THC product. that are actually good.

Seriously, they taste really good. And it's not that mystery brownie that your friend Dave baked and brought over because you'll know exactly how many milligrams is all in all this stuff. You'll be able to regulate it and all that stuff. And everything is third-party lab tested. They are, they're compliant with the 2018 farm bill federally compliant, and it ships discreetly.

So your mailman don't even know what's going on. Like if you're like me and, you know, you're in a Southern Baptist town where people talk and you don't want them to know, that you're getting these THC products, they got you hooked up. It's totally fine. One gummy per night for me is the ultimate chill. It really helps with,

you know, all my stress or whatnot. If you want to do better sleep, they got a gummy for that. They got the light social buzz and all that stuff. If you're 21 or older, grab 25% off your first order, plus free shipping with code well read at endacl cloud.

dot CO. That's I-N-D-C-L-O-U-D-D. CO code well read, 25% off, free shipping and snacks suddenly tastes like an adult Michelin Star meal. Also, if you fill out there quick survey, when you order, you will support

this show. So appreciate that. Enjoy responsibly. And huge thanks to Enda Cloud for sponsoring today's episode. And let me just say, it's really good, and I am still thoroughly shocked as to how this is legal. It's wild to me

that this product is so good, and then we are now getting to tell people about it on our podcast and they can go use our code to get a discount. It's wild. It's really good. One thing too is the reason that I forgot it was time for ads was because I was enjoying my into cloud buzz and we were laughing so hard. And I was like, oh, God, I got to promote this stuff. Go ahead, Trey.

I bet they have that problem a lot where they're like, God damn, they got too high and forgot to do the fucking ad again. That's kind of what happened. Well, welcome to the future, y'all. It's a brand new world. some, you know, on one side, you got, uh, how is this legal weed products that hit? And on the other side, you got the fact that everything's a subscription service nowadays, some of which are cool, some of which are not, but you're not, is just become a day to day

life, part of day to day life. You get on your phone, you find some new app or service. You're like, that seems cool. Seems like it hits. Also, that price doesn't seem so bad. Why not? Let me try it out. You, it hits for you for a couple of months and you forget about it, but then you also

forget to cancel it and you forget eventually that it ever existed or certainly that you're paying for it each and every month. I feel like that's a universal experience in this day and age. It certainly happened to me. And that's why I want to tell you all about our other sponsor this week. Rocket Money. That's right. 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. So for me, I would use Rocket Money and found out the two primary ones that popped up. There was this, the dumbest one for sure was this app I got that let you put your friends' face. is onto popular reaction gifts. So, you know, I could put Corey's face onto like the dude, the bald dude that hosted Bakeoff for a while, but not anymore.

That British guy that's got alopecia and is real pale. I could put Corey's face on a picture of ham dressed up as a cupcake or whatever, like stuff like that was useful to me. But it got old sort of quick, but I forgot to get rid of it. And I don't even, I couldn't even, it was a ridiculous. amount of money I ended up paying for it past the time when I used it. We're talking like two years here. But there was another one.

I got a drum, learn to play the drums app because my, one of my sons said, I want to play the drums. That lasted a week. I forgot. I bought a subscription for a learn to play the drums app. And I've never touched a drum in my life,

spent, you know, $300 on it or something over the course of a couple of years. And I would still be paying for both of those, if not for rocket money. so it's a cool thing that help you get it back under control. Rocket Money shows you all your expenses at one place, including subscriptions you forgot about. If you see a subscription you no longer want, by the way, Rocket Money will help you figure out how to cancel it. If you've got a goal that you'd like to save up for, Rocket Money can analyze your accounts to find the best time each month to put some extra money aside. Rocket Money will even try to negotiate lower bills for you. The app automatically scans your bills to find opportunities to save and then goes to work to get you better deals.

they'll even talk to the customer service people or robots so you don't have to. 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 app's premium features. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money. Go to rocketmoney.com slash well-read today. That's rocketmoney.com slash well, RED.

All right. And we're back. What else? What else is going on? Well, I saw this thing earlier on Reddit. I was perusing and I saw the word redneck. And so naturally I decided to hop on. And what once this thing said,

what's the most redneck thing you've seen someone do? I enjoyed a couple of these, and I would like to read them. This first one is from Icy Boy 121. He said, I watched my uncle reverse engineer his double barrel 12-gauge shotgun to a quad barrel. It worked twice, and then it exploded. And then someone said, was he okay? And he said, he lived, but he lost his left big toe, which is honestly pretty impressive, that he didn't completely die.

I'd give my big toe for a quad-barrel shotgun. Small price to pay for that level of kicking ass. This one dude says, oh boy, where the hell do I start? Drove around with a tarp in the back of a 96 Chevy and filled it with water to make a mobile pool. We've all seen that.

Seen that. Yeah, seen it. Washer broke, so strapped it to a dolly and filled it with ice and beer, so it made a portable cooler for community days. That's not, you know, again, I've seen crazier things.

This one old boy transported his sheep in the back of a hatchback. Again, you know, seen it, whatever. I've not seen sheep in the back of a hatchback, but that's pretty funny. This is great. I haven't seen anybody do this. We've done similar things, but through a barbecue grill on a piece of plywood and strapped it onto a floaty so we could grill burgers and float down the river at the same time. That's pretty fucking sweet.

That rules. That does rule. It's not that dangerous either. It's a little dangerous, but it's not that dangerous because mostly if something fucks up, it just goes to the water and goes out. Right. Yeah. Who cares?

If it flips over or whatever. But I've only ever floated one river. It's called the Buffalo. It's done there in southwest Tennessee where Katie's from. Let's say float the Buffalo. It's a big thing there. But like, I thought, having not done it before, I thought it would be a situation. where you very, very lazily.

Right. Just float slowly down this river where you could, you know, where you could like float beside a fucking beer floating grill and keep up with it and flip burgers while drinking a beer and stuff. And it's like, and at least that one was not at all like that. It wasn't fucking full-blown white water rafting or whatever. Like definitely it wasn't that either. But it was like, there's no fucking way.

you could like have a floating grill beside you and manage all that while actually going down that river. It was a more faster pace than I reckon for it. I thought it was awesome. But also because I thought it was going to be super low pace, we took the boys with us. And at this time, they're like four and five. And it was a bit much for them. They were like, I would have been losing my mind.

Yeah. And then it started coming to wrath of God thunderstorm before we got to the. end of it too. And then a, like a copperhead showed up. Jesus. Yeah. They were like terrified. This was all Father's Day, by the way. But it was funny. Everything worked. Everything worked out fine. And it was, you know, it was all funny in retrospect. And had my children not been there, it would have been a ton of fun, but not, still not what I had always gotten the impression it would be like, though. But that's, that's just that one. I don't know if that's common, you know, normal. We spend a lot of time on,

rivers and I've experienced both time of years big too if it's not damn controlled right like the earlier in the season the quicker it's going to be which I mean I think is kind of makes sense you know self-explanatory um but I've I've definitely been on them up in the smokies especially late in the summer so like when the school year starts back you go back to school in the fall at Marrival but it's like September August you head up there there's definitely a few spots of just, I mean, you're just lazy rivering. And it's awesome. And you get drunk and you finger something.

Anyway. That does sound awesome. Had an older lady with the worst cigarette voice I've ever heard, call me a Chinaman, completely without a hint of irony or malice. That's just what she thought was the right term to use. Read the username. You have the username there? Yeah, it's L20.

So now we know Cho's username is L20. winning. You know, part of your way of getting with that was better than that was going to be. The well-red, yeah, the established well-red lore is that there's a redneck woman who works at a gas station, Chikamaga, who I assume smoked cigarettes, who thinks that Corey is Chinese, apparently. Well, maybe the emphysema got her, you know. Maybe, yeah, maybe. What's y'all's? What?

Most redneck thing you've ever seen. I thought you meant Reddit user name. Man, that's... Man, I don't know. You were like, no. Yeah, well, I don't actually... I'm just a lurker. I don't post on there.

But I'd really have to think about that, like, hard. I mean, I've seen a girl getting butt-fucked, been over a, like a lawnmower at a party, but I feel like that's... It's the lawnmower is the only thing. This is another pretty standard thing. Drew mentioned... Definitely see that in Philadelphia. Drew mentioned a hoodless car earlier.

Paige had to go to the hospital when she was a teenager because she got, it snowed and she got pulled behind a truck on the removed hood of another car. So, you know what I'm saying? Take the hood off a car, flip it over. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tied to a truck and then drag it through the snow, like a fucking, you know, like tubing, but on a car hood in the snow.

And she, you know, had to go to the emergency room. I'm sure for some people, not me, but for some people, their answered would be the time I saw Cory Forster's sister break his nose at a Jimmy Buffett concert. That'd probably be up there. I didn't, you know, I mean, I saw it for a second, but that was the thing that happened to me. We went bowling with a dead possum one time tied behind a Jeep. We had, you know, those blue trash cans that, like, the city uses for, like, you know, city waste or whatever.

we went and stole a bunch of them from behind the power company, and we lined them up like bowling pens, and we tied this dead possum to the back of my buddy Chris's Jeep, and we would haul ass down this gravel road where they were, and then when you got to the end, you pulled the e-break so that the possum would swing and you knock over all those goddamn, you know, the barrels or whatever. It was a lot of fun, but this lady called the lawn, and the possum was already dead.

Like, we didn't kill no goddamn possum. and this lady called the lawn and is saying that we were dragging a dog around behind a car or whatever and that we were in a Jeep and so we get back to my buddy Chris's house and the cops pull up and they're like hey we've got and he's holding a rope

and I'm holding a fucking hatchet and he's like we heard that some boys were dragging a dog behind their car in a Jeep and we're and we have a camera we filmed it and we're just like no we didn't drag no dog and he's just like all right bet and then just left

seeing's later yeah but in mind who went to the army came back from the army and rented a car didn't get the insurance on it took it mudden up on baldy which they call it in slina

and ripped the whole ass end out of it and had to pay went into debt for like fucking $10,000 idiot oh dude you have no idea he also same guy also I might have told this before but like he you hear about this scheme sometimes it's a relatively common scheme where like some like you can get paid by someone to marry them for that so they get a green card yeah i would do that in a heartbeat right well i was with some comics recently in la and they had a friend who was doing that who was getting paid by a woman from somewhere in asia so she could get a so she could get a green card and they said that the person they knew this woman's family was paying that

guy like I think it was like $30,000 or something like that. A month and I for the whole deal. For the whole deal I think. And I started laughing and they were like what were you like and I was like well I had a buddy who went to the army same guy who didn't even tell us anything that happened just showed up at a house party when he was on leave once. He was like hey this is my wife Maria. She's you know fucking Honduran or whatever she was. Didn't he like speak English? We were all like your wife? What? And he was like

he was like yeah no it's a great deal so you know so i paid her what you know she gets a green card out of this i paid her whatever but uh and they paid me like 250 bucks so you know pretty sweet and i swear to god i swear to god he right after that went to a gas station in cookville there where i was going to college and spent that 250 dollars on a on a plastic kayak that was in the had a gas station had mounted on the wall. And he was like, hey, is that for sale? And he paid $250 for it. And then that was...

It just left. So... What? A fucking idiot. Jesus Christ. He's a good guy. I mean, yeah. I'm sure he is.

He fucking committed a felony for a kayak. Yeah, right. Yeah. But that's also like... That's supposed to be hard. harder than that, right? Like, there's a process. Like, they check on that shit, don't they? Yeah, you got to be convincing. That's why you need more money than $250. This was 20-something years, or, you know, 20 years ago. Did he bring her in? I don't. Again, he literally showed up at a house party.

He was like, this is my wife. If he brought her in, she just wanted to be here. Like, you know what I mean? She didn't care. But if she's come with her to the party, she's got some kind of plan. I cannot top that guy for humor. Obviously, we know what I can say. to top it just in terms of red cred. I mean, my brother murdered the guy who tried to molest my cousin Billy when he was married to my aunt years earlier. But those things happened years apart. That's what's so red about it, in my opinion. It's not like, we caught you molested cousin Billy.

Boom, we're going to kill you. It's like, he killed a guy. And then cousin Billy was like, oh, that's the guy. Try to molest me. Remember when he was married to hand? God damn. Anyway, if it's not that one, is Mamaw fighting the cop and the, and the, The dad of the, this kid wrecked in my mamma's yard.

The dad shows up and is yelling at him. Ma'amaw tried to hit him. The cop tries to stop her. Then she hits the cop. I had one more, but I forgot it. I mean, yours was so good at Slade of me. Whatever it was, I forgot, ain't that great. Well, the thing about your brother, you know, I have a similar thing is the most redneck,

at least redneck, I think, sounding thing about me that's true is that the girl I lost my virginity to her dad killed my uncle uh years later over a dispute between their other children so my first cousin and that first girl's sister that guy's other daughter and i know that's confusing but it was like but like you said totally unrelated to me and the older daughter was just a thing that happened and it's uneventful or whatever and then a few years later small town that's the aspect right right and a few years later the other thing happened I've been to a wedding where first cousins got married. Nice.

Yeah, that's probably the most redneck thing I've ever seen. I was younger. I think my brother was in the wedding party. Did they have kids? Yeah. How they doing? Like, are they? Your face?

Well, I was like, yeah, I could see it. But then I'm also, like, thinking where the parents are. I'm like, well, you know, I think they. that was going to happen to those kids, those people's kids anyway. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, right. Yes, it is hard to say. It's like a, you know, causation.

He was going to be, correlation and causation. Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Corey wants us to close out. We've only got a few more minutes.

Well, we can go ahead and do the plugs and shit. And that'll let me, I guess, talk about one more thing. I'm going to be in New Orleans Saturday, September 13th. I replaced. someone who dropped, the guy who owns a club, hit me up and was like, I know you're coming down next year, but do you want to just do this? And I was like, well, I'm in Nashville the night before. That's actually closer. Let me do the math.

Fuck it. We're going to New Orleans. So September 13th, come see me in New Orleans. September 12th, I am in Nashville doing a show for a bunch of musicians at the Americana Festival, but I think they're going to open it up to the public. You can check on my socials. I'll be sharing stuff, but please come see me in New Orleans, September 13th. Are you going to see producer Matt there? me back in Nashville?

Yeah. Probably because I know that he helped put this thing on, but I didn't know he was going to be there. Yep, he's going to be there. I think I ain't. Well, I'll tell you where I'm going to be. Upstate New York this weekend, Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, in that order, then Hartford, Connecticut on Sunday.

Then later this month, all the cities in Ohio, except for Cleveland, still love you, Cleveland. I'll see y'all next time. And then after that, the rest of this year, like Virginia, Madison, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Nashville with Corey and Drew at Zanis the week before Christmas, like every year. And I might be leaving a couple out, but I've also got a bunch of dates in 2026 already. South Carolina, Sacramento, a bunch of places. So go to tracrouter.com and check them out and come save me.

So yeah, do you say you had something else you wanted to say? Yeah, well, I was going to talk about New Orleans, but I also wanted to ask you this. thought of this. Has this ever happened to you? I auditioned for a thing. I think you auditioned for it too. I was brought in kind of late.

I think that I didn't fit the look, but then they were like, well, we haven't figured this out. Let's expand our look or whatever, you know? And then I had a callback, and they were like five of the dudes of callbacks, supposedly.

And then what I was told is they just decided not to make the show. This is her. hilarious because I'm pretty certain that you're talking about a show that me and Corey both also auditioned for that same role. And what's hilarious, and I had the same, I didn't have exactly the same, because I was in it earlier, which I don't know if that's better or worse, but I was in the process earlier. I had multiple, I had three total, I think, things with them. It was like, they kept having me come back or whatever, and I was feeling pretty alright about it. And then I know that whatever, Corey, and then at the end of the day, they were like, you know what?

We're just not going to do this at all, which is hilarious because it's, you know, damning for all three of us at the same time, which is very funny. But if you don't remember, I told you all about that. I know some other people with the damning for. I honestly think what happened is that the creator, the director, and the producers wanted different people. And then the network said, fuck y'all. Right. Yes. I think that, yeah.

but that show that you're talking about, let's see if we're talking about the same one I think we are, the premise of it was sort of similar to a show that we pitched, right? And I had texted y'all that weeks ago, yes, right, yeah. That's funny. I knew that I knew that Corey got brought in late. I did not know that you had, but I also knew that they'd then just,

they just canceled the whole thing, which is hilarious. Like, we'd rather just not even do this than do it with any of y'all or either of y'all. Isn't that so funny, though? Yeah. Yeah, I, I mean, to be...

Is that common, you think? Well, I think when I was... People are going to be listening, like, what the hell are they even talking about? Because obviously, they don't read the script. They don't know anything. But when I was doing it, I was like, I was like, I'm not surprised they're having trouble finding this guy, this character. Because, like, in my head, I try to think through, because it's like the lead. And I'm like, I can't think of an already established actor who I think would be good for this.

But I could see them being like, what about this dude? in FX, that was the network supposed to be for, but just being like, there's no fucking way. We're casting a guy that has essentially no experience, like as the lead in this show, but yet there is, you know, I don't know who they- Related to that. So,

do you remember that comic who did a bit similar to yours about rednecks and cops? We got sent that years ago at a, at Austin? Yeah, I think so. He's friends with Maverick. I know exactly you're talking about. he's a buddy of mine and I don't want to like you know now we're getting in the weeds in terms of how Hollywood works and also people are like you guys are speaking in codes what the fuck are you talking about right it seemed like there was a huge possibility that they were going to take a big swing with him I thought it would be him I really did I did too and I was like okay if you can't find someone it makes sense to do a total unknown who like

kind of is the guy and when I say is the guy when you read the character description you're like oh that's my buddy you know what I mean I thought the same thing and I don't even know that my personally but I was like if I don't get it

of course I didn't really hit the time know y'all were up for it but I was like I really hope they just give it to him instead of this is what I told him when we had a phone call about it some fucking British dude that's what I said

that's exactly what I said to Corey when we found out they were canceling it I was like Honestly, I'd rather that than a fucking British guy. That's said the same exact thing. I swear to God. But I don't even know that guy. Just know who he is because of Maverick, again, people,

I hope people have just already left because they don't know what any of this means. But I know who that guy is. And I thought the same thing. I was like, you know who's going to get this is probably that guy. And he thought it. He thought it. I mean, he was like, I know I'm too confident, dude. Well, he said it.

And he's like, he's a man's man. Like, he's one of the least Hollywood, Hollywood. as I've ever known. And the way he said it was like, buddy, if they don't give it to me, whoever they did it give it to fucking earned it. I'll tell you that right now. Right.

I think probably FX just didn't have the balls to, all they could find that they were kind of okay with was people that were unknown as far as acting goes. And FX was like, we're not going to put that kind of money behind that. That's what my assumption is. But I don't know. But if they stay doing that, anyway.

All right. That's it. Okay. Thank you all for listening to The Well Red Show. We'd love to stick around. longer, but we got to go. Tune it next week. If you got nothing to do, who? Thank you, God bless you. Good night and skew. Skew-wee fart. We're going to get drunk and we're going to talk a lot.

Dress-roof-fancy sitting on chairs. What other rednecks to talk about four and a bear? What a pair. High-class topics with a redneck flare. Oh, we're going to get drunk and we're going to talk a lot. Dress-roof-Fam and we're going to talk a lot. That truth they are nameless, faceless. Their families are getting together and plotting on you from the attic and basement. So even though Corey is drunk and we're going to talk a lot.
