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 spend or you wouldn't know nothing.

But now you've got apps and stuff on your phone. And 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 what not 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 uh getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low

Also, I'm back on Substack at Corey Wrightsfor You.com. I'm doing my old essays, poetry, just put out the drunken Roger Myrtle Blues, which is a lot of fun, videos, all kinds of good stuff. Corey Wrights for You.com.

And thanks to everybody who's subscribed in the past month and jump me up to, like, I was in the top 10 of Substacks comedy, which is crazy because it's me and nine other people who are absolutely amazing. So I was happy to be in that company, though I don't feel I deserve it. Corey writes for you.com. Okay, context, because our recording started five seconds late. Me and Drew were talking about how when you get older and you have a wife and especially a kid, mainly the kid, all of a sudden you don't have your space anymore and you kind

of just get thrown to the side. And if this room used to be your office, but it now needs to be a kid's room, like it's just going to and you have to accept that. and how we had always thought that men who liked man caves were stupid, but now we kind of get it. So you're all caught up. The rest of the conversation is right now. Oh, and after that, we did, um, we did, is this anything where we all three pitched jokes to each other that we're working on and we added tags. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy it. Share with your friends. Love y'all. Bye. Every time. And I said, yeah, well, you know, you know more than me that when you have a wife like we have

and then you put a child into the equation, like, uh, it seems like every day you have. You have less and less space that is actually yours. And you just have to, you know, deal with it. And Drew said that he used to think that having a man cave was stupid and now he understands it. And so do I. Well, I'm in a, I'm in a closet right now. Yeah. I'm at, I'm also at an in-laws.

Yeah. I used to think, y'all both were in my old guest house at the old house that we rented. And that's where my, like, office was. and that was that came once i was like my home gym and the other side was like my office and that was big enough and hit and everything yeah this is the room i'm in now at the new house which is also part like off my garage is like uh fourth the size like i i ain't got it's just there's like three feet on either side of me well katy still took your old one over yeah when she wanted to when she yeah you're right yeah it just yeah it just yeah but you know burbank because like

out here space is at a premium too I mean, that's the thing. You know what I mean? Like, so yeah, I definitely feel that. Don't hit, but, you know. Well, I used to think what kind of child needs a man cave? Oh, you need a little room so you can put your football and watch your game. And then I'm like, you got a whole house, dude, grow up.

And then I grew up. And I was like, you don't have a house. Right. Well, I too. I would be like, I would be like, be a man. Just do whatever the. Just do your shit where you want to. They can adjust to it.

And it's like, yeah, that's not going to work. Yeah, they can in a way that don't hit. That don't hit at all. Like, yeah, sure, you could do that. And then, like, I hate, I hate cliched terms for most part. Like, usually when you hear a guy go, well, you know, happy wife, happy life, that guy's two seconds away from shooting up a building. But it is true.

Like, if you get everything that you want, but it puts everyone in your house at unease, it's not going to hit like that's not good and you may as well just go to your closet yeah i've said this before but i do think it's related i didn't realize and what's funny about this is i didn't realize the huge advantage we had when we were kids me and my friend group and the reason we had that advantage was like systemic poverty and broken homes and stuff and that's why we were so blessed but what i mean is like we uh but we'd just be we'd have whole house is completely to ourselves all the time because like someone was in a ditch at top well they were like what you know Thompson's mama who's an angel but she literally worked three jobs right and you know

was a single mom so like she was never home because she was working all day so if we're at thompson's we were alone bain's dad was a tugboat captain on the mississippi river every time you say it's like you're making it up I know but it's true no he wasn't he went out to get cigarettes and he never came back We're too old to be continuing this fucking live. A tugboat. Uh-huh. But, yeah, no, I knew him. He'd turn up every six months or whatever with a new whore on his arm.

Yeah, stood on his face. And an ankle monitor that the tugboat company made him one of him. But anyway. And a new black guy that knows how to read cards. He'd be gone forever. And his house would just be empty. We just basically live there on our own. So, like, and then I'm saying every now that you go over to some other dude's house

who, like, his parents were happily married. they had like a regular household or whatever and so like his parents just be around yeah and it felt like oppressive for whatever you know what i mean it's like this don't hit what's just what we even doing here and i think that that makes you even more spoiled in terms of what we're talking about in like wanting space to yourself or yeah to do with which as you please you know or whatever something to be said i think i mean look there's some stereotypes that are true in terms of decorating and men and straight men not hitting but it's also like the uglier, stinkier, nastier it isn't here, they won't come in.

That's right. That's right. This is not for you. It's supposed to look like a Buffalo Wild Wings had a one-night stand with a whore. Yes, it's like dogs peeing on a brush so that other dogs smell their pee and they're like, oh, this one's, we pee on our stuff. Yep, that's it. We put our... We're peeing on our stuff. That's why it's nasty in here. That's why there's napkins and towels would come on them that I would. light my face on. Mine's a bandana.

Mine's a bandana and bro, like, I didn't realize the implications of just coming on such a thin piece of material for so long, but like this bandana, I, yeah, because I hadn't been up there in forever, and I went the other day and that motherfucker standing up like that. He's just off on a show,

on a show story. Bro, it's up there like the goddamn flag on the moon. You know what I mean? Right. No, I completely split. Yeah. Sure.

Sure. But you, so that, I have one of them as a teenage boy, I think, but nowadays, I'll just grab like a dirty towel and then that towel gets washed like immediately or whatever. And it pretty much takes care of it. I haven't had a dedicated one of those. Well, mine was a cycle that I put myself in. I did it once and I was like, oh, fuck, if I take this bandana downstairs, she's going to know why I'm washing this bandana because I haven't worn this bandana. And then I was like, well, I'll just leave it up here. And I'll, I'll go wash it when she's not here, but she always there. I can't, my wife, knowing what I've washed. I definitely know what she knows I haven't washed. Yeah. Now, you're right. The goddamn laundry.

Maybe there's part of me that it's just like safe, you know, like it's always there. I hope this isn't like, doesn't give anyone the heby-jeebies. This just is what it is. I don't, speaking of not having space, I don't. don't live in my bed uh i don't sleep there roscoe started sleeping with his mama and then eventually i was like i got to fucking sleep somewhere else i'll right i'll circle back on this yeah i'm it not that kind of hits though it does it does but i needed that context for this part my come to house i don't know what else to call them cum rags sorry everybody are just his old

baby spit rags we don't use them anymore but they're in the room I now sleep in. That was supposed to be the room. He sleeps in, but he doesn't. He sleeps in my room. So I'm just in there alone. And here's a basket full of perfectly sized, soft.

So I'm not going to not. Right. You know. And then, I guess just to wrap the story up, we sent our friend a funny Christmas gift, and it was like a figurine. And we had to pack it.

And I just grabbed some of them. and was just, like, showing them around it. And when she got it, she was, like, jokingly. She was like, I see, I'm glad she, like, FaceTime us. I'm glad you guys pack this with Drew's comrades. And Andy was like, you know, funny you say that. What does that smell like? She way.

That's not. Peanuts, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, there you go. It was washed. Yeah, but is it? Right. I was just going to say that those things. Those baby items, commodities, whatever, around that, around the things they, like, the things they throw up on and poop in and various things like that.

It's just like, just so much stank and nasty involved all the time. That, like, smell, that baby, that, like, it don't go away. Milk, baby, you know, milk that's been in a baby and now has come back out of the baby. Yeah, that's the worst milk. That's, you don't want that. No. I think I know what you guys mean, but I guess because I'm in that he eats real food and actually poops, but I still have to clean it up phase. I'm like, dude, I pine for the stank milk.

Now we got stank corn. And let me tell you something way worse. Oh, dude. Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm not doing it either. I miss milk baby food so bad. Yeah, that makes sense. I just thought only about the milk part because it's not like I'm in the other part right now or nothing either.

So, you know, I mean, yeah. I buy that. Yeah, do you're shaking your head as Trace says it's awful. Don't worry. It gets worse. Uh-huh. Do you, does Andy do cloth diapers? No.

I got on. I knew she'd come back around. I did just, you know, he would get her back. It seemed like a thing, but I don't even know if those are even remote. I feel like those are at the height of their trendiness with my sons are babies. And so like, we did that for a while. And Katie's not hippie-dippy at all, but we did cloth diapers. And it was like a whole thing.

You know, fuck that. Y'all aren't off, really, in terms of your assessment, I guess, of Andy. But, like, you do sometimes get it slightly wrong. And this is definitely one of those where it's like, look, do we get expensive as fuck diapers that are organic and don't have any dyes on him to not get on his skin? Yeah. The fuck the earth. Now, the baby is getting the hippie treatment. Right.

But the earth? I mean, she's not an environment. But she's still a chow. Like, look, until we set Exxon on fire, there's no way I'm like doing that. That's, see, boo. He has a hybrid, but, you know, I'm not trying to make her out to be like a V8 driving, who cares. I know exactly. But like, stank, she ain't going to be dealing with that.

This is a thing that me and Andy always relate to each other on. It's our chowness. And we're well-meaning in so many regards. But as soon as a thing comes along that, like, God, that would be better, such as regular diapers, all of a sudden we break out the, eh, no ethical consumption under capitalism, and there you go.

Like, you do your best, but then we're still chose, and we don't want to have to wash a fucking cloth diaper every time. That's insane. I'm pretty sure that it was just, that was Katie's, at that time, that was her side hustle that she had.

She was making and selling those. And I genuinely, was on a, in a commercial in Japan? China, not Japan. China. Yeah, dude. I got mad about that, like two weeks ago.

Are you guys familiar with this content machine known as subway takes? Yeah. The guy that has the part of the subway. You just share, didn't you just share a Ms. Pat clip? Or Corey did. One of y'all did. I did. From that guy.

With that guy. Yeah. Right. She's so funny. One right before that where this woman was like, this young lady was like, parents stop posting your kids with emojis over their face. it looks fucking creepy and you're only doing it to seem like a good parent either post it on your close stories or just post your fucking kid or don't yeah and then I saw a bunch of parents and non-parents being like yep exactly and I'm like dude I guess I can understand the take well then just don't post your kids right post friends only or whatever and just send texts to your family but like people were denying the reality that you dealt with right and the reality of perverts that's like China will use this for fucking ads. and or perverts

who use this for things I don't even want to talk about. How about just let people do what the fuck they want as long as it don't hurt nobody. I think her point was like it does and it does like she's not wrong that like

it is weird emoji baby if you just basically line it up perfectly it's like right it's a little uncanny but her bigger take was like

you're patting yourself on the back this is like she called it performative yeah I don't I think most people are just scared for their kids

you know I do too I'm like and it's like well then just just don't post it. No, we fucking want to. Right. You're living, I mean, look, I, at the end of the day, it's like, of course we don't have to post everything

and like Instagram is vapid and like, why do we have to share our lives of these straight? I don't know the answer to that, but the, but we clearly feel that we do and some people, dude, like, I'll say this, like, Facebook for all its terribleness is a great way for grandparents

to get to see be more racist. That, for sure, because it's just who you are times of But, like, you know, like Amber's grandparents live out of state. They get to keep up with their family's pictures and see all that stuff because of Facebook. Like, there's people that use the tool for joy and they want to post their family, but they're like, I don't want to put my three-old's face on there. So fucking who gives a shit, you know?

Well, it was a take I disagreed with, but, you know, it's the internet. That happens to me 97 times a day. To me, it was more like, people really don't understand that this happens. Right. Right. Like, that was the part. I was like, but this is just reality, dude. It's like there's two types of people.

the people who think it's so extreme wrong and Drew but it's like the people who are like literally every every Democrat is coming to steal your baby and trans people or it's the none of that at all is happening and nobody has

the take of in the middle where it's like bro this shit exists what are you talking about like of course it does and you have to be careful but like why can't you know why can't we meet in the middle there I don't know man I've been paying attention to the news a lot more than I have in the last year or so.

Yeah, don't hit. It's funny, though. It's crazy. Hey, was that, was that Ms. Pat clip you sent the one where she was talking about how she knows that her daughter was the first person to teach her that kids are born gay because her daughter's just so gay. And she said, my daughter came out my pussy licking her fingers. No, this was just about women wearing bras.

I think that. I heard being big. Like a big woman with a... She said something that was so goddamn funny in that clip tube. I can't remember what it was. But literally every clip of Ms. Pack contains something that's laugh out loud, hilarious. Dude, licks her... That's so gross and obviously off-putting.

And only Ms. Pat can say that. Like, only... Anybody else... That's a little bit... That's so goddamn funny, though, dude. Like, she's... Dude, she's unbelievable. Hey, we used to do a thing on this program where we do street jokes.

You remember that? I heard one today that was really funny. I just wanted to tell you. y'all okay i think we did it last week and that's the only time but yeah go ahead oh i don't even remember doing it last week we did it a long time ago what we do last week we had a segment last week last week was like is this anything is this anything yeah this is just a street he's talking about like a book jess i got i got i got an is this anything do your street joke and then we'll do okay cool uh in the context is this was uh ru mclanahan told this to betty white on the set

of golden girls and it's a blooper and it was really funny said so there's this a dude and a pig and a dog on a deserted island they get and so this after a couple days this guy's like god damn this pig's starting to look pretty good to me so he keeps trying to fuck the pig but every time he does the dog would growl and like jump on him he's like god damn so one night the dogs asleep he's like I'm going to get after this pig you know goes dog wakes up this goes on and on this guy's so just he just needs to have sex he wants to bang this pig well after a couple days, a boat capsizes and up swims

the most beautiful blonde-headed woman you've ever seen in your life. And the guy just goes, oh my God, thank God. Can you hold this fucking dog down? Isn't that great? So stupid. I think that that's I'm trying to remember if that's the same one I heard

Roome McClain-a-hand-held Barry White and like a cut. Because I'm feeling like it was, I don't know, maybe it was that one. I feel like it was, I'm wondering if she used to do that, like, a lot, you know? Probably. It's probably one of her jokes she has, but I'm just, God, I'm so obsessed me. Making Betty White Giggle feels better.

Amazing. Well, I was about getting a lot. Especially something filthy. Yeah. What's your, is this anything? Okay. Well, I got two, one short. I've got to do something with this.

Just thinking about a cop with that broccoli haircut has been murdering me lately. There's going to be one soon. And I just, yeah. The, my homes. Like respect trying to. You know, I mean, I don't respect cops anyway, but imagine anyone trying to respect that, dude. But I got, that's just something, whatever. Okay, here's my, is this anything?

AI is like when your dad buy something stupid, and then he has to try and convince everyone that he didn't waste his fucking money. And the government is your mom where she knows it's fucking stupid, but they're trying to just keep the piece in the house. You know what I mean? Like, like, in my house, it was like when we first paid way too much for satellite television, and then it wouldn't work when it was raining. But, like, Dad couldn't take the L because he dropped a whole mortgage payment on it.

So he had to, like, you know, dad it up and we all had to agree. Like, yeah, it's, yeah, no, dad, we can, you're right. The sound is better on the football game we can't see right now. You fucking idiot. And then moms the government keeping the peace. I mean, I've got nothing else. I have no examples, no other punchlines, but there's a real. But the AI, though, in that analogy, the AI is the satellite, right?

Not your dad. Like, who's the dad when it comes to AI? Well, I want to, I guess people that use ChatGPT for fucking. I guess Alman, Elon feel. The problem is, I think they're grifting us. But I've been talking to DJ about it, and he's like, I think some of them really think that they're going to usher in a new era. That's part of what makes them so dangerous.

Definitely. So I guess, I guess Silicon Valley. his dad and mom is the government. That's a good point and thank you. I guess Silicon Valley is my dad trying to convince me that he didn't have a terrible fucking idea and waste all of our money.

There's a thing around here where people were buying ostriches. Did you guys have that in the late 90s? Oh, in the last... Okay, I thought you meant my... I thought you meant right now and I was going to be like, that is wild, because I know that that's not the first time

that's come up, We didn't have it in my town. Well, we had, y'all remember Big Bob. Big Bob, Gargo pants are back, retards back. I thought that's what you meant. I thought you meant people around there right now where they were like, the hot new thing is ostriches or whatever. But, like, any babies.

We had Big Bob, y'all, I told you all about. Yeah, B, B, yeah, but that was for the. That was, yeah, that was just him, though. He had some ostriches and stuff as his menager, including Carlos the monkey. But, but I know that you're right about. that even though I don't remember anybody in L.A. L.A., what the fuck? Anybody back home doing it? Whoa.

Grew up in L.A. folks. Wow. I did just rewatch Tremors 2. Okay. Oh, I've never seen 2. It's good. After that, they go, I mean, Trimmers 2 also is off the rails, but then it goes way off the rails after that.

But, like, Trimmers 2, there's a subplot with Fred Ward's character. The way they convince him to go fight more, Trent, more grabboids, right? Because who in God's name would agree with that after they've killed everyone you know or whatever in the first movie? The way they convince him to do that is that he desperately needs money because he's blown every last sin he has on ostriches. That's the setup for the tremors too.

AI is when your uncle spent all his money on ostriches and the government is his wife who was too embarrassed for him so she would just be like yeah, I believe it too, and you wanted to get her out of there, but you can't. The difference is it's not your uncle, you know, and your

aunt, it's where you live. It's your parents. It wasn't just ostriches too. My step-mamma she went through some financial straits because she refused to give up her peacocks and she like... But that was because she loved him, I assume. Or did she believe she

was going to the the ostrich thing and this is a very dad thing was going to make us rich really oh so i didn't remember that part yeah oh though drew at the eggs like like the eggs like the meat the meat the meat the meat I can even call it. What's supposed to be the new hamburger of the 90s? It is so much cheaper to maintain them supposedly at the scale that we maintain beef. The meat is good enough. I mean, it is.

I've had it. It is good enough. Is it like chicken or is it more like duck? I would say neither in the ways that I've had it. You know, they're big animals. Yeah, for sure. There's a lot of burgers out of them, right? That's all I've had, I think, is ostrich burger.

I have had a steak once. in Australia but yeah when you raise them on the farm Corey there's a lot of fat on them birds okay yes so the idea was this is just too economical environmentally friendly etc. etc. not to replace

beef especially when as Trey was just saying they also going to help replace chicken so like the problem the only problem with the business model was no one gave a fuck or wanted to eat ostrich right cow too hits too hard

right so like other than that, everything they said was true. It was just like, yeah, but no one wants it. It reminds me of that great, that great thing where our buddy Bryson was mentioned indirectly when Patrice did his Marin way back in the day. And he was like, yeah, the most fucked up everyone's getting is an open mic. He was like, hey man, you're the best at what you do. What if no one wants that?

Right. Everything they said about Austin was true, just no one wanted it. Yeah. So that's why people got tricked. because like when you look at the numbers it's like yeah whoever like you know what's the biggest beef company I know Tyson does chicken what's the beef companies um wow that's a great question

because everybody knows Tyson holy shit but yeah I don't they must be Chinese that's why they're not telling us I'll look it up when you're talking well whoever it is you can understand a good old boy uncle being like well why the fuck wouldn't they buy my ostriches for me it's going to cost them an eighth of the price

blah blah blah blah blah blah JBS got nothing is that more than like you know how like it's a concomer of thing got milk right was like that was just big milk

I think beef is like big beef but why you're picking big chicken right that's really the question because you have a very specific weird there's like specific laws about

like big ag law when it comes to what you're talking about like the guys Not milk people aren't considered to have an oligopoly. I don't remember why, but like we had to study it in law school when we were doing the Sherman Antitrust Act, right? So my point being is I actually think chicken is the one that stands out here. Beef, milk, you know, pig.

I mean, pork, yeah. There's like an organization and the government oversees it. Why is it not existing with chicken? Oh, I have a theory. Dude, it's looking like, unless this, thing is wrong on the internet, which I'm sure it is, is that Tyson also be that for beef. They just don't put their shit on it. Well, hold on.

I bet they can't or aren't supposed to because they're part of some group. The main reason, don't y'all think, the main reason people know that about Tyson is because they got the chicken nuggets and stuff and like the bat, yeah, like in the frozen state, like Tyson branded chicken patties and shit like that. There's not really beef equivalence. Bubba burgers. I almost made a joke about it. the way is it bubble i doubt it's bubba yeah they're good butba burger is the only equivalent

example i could think of in the beef world you know that's a good theory and i'm sure that that's probably that's probably 80% of it like i think you're right like because you also know the gordon's fisherman right right but i do think there's hormal specific laws just for that only apply to ag and food and that that's part of this and i wonder if the chicken is an exception partially because you can do small farm chicken And it's really hard to do small farm beef. In fact, most people who do it, they just sell straight to the mate, like to you. You just go there and be like, I need a cow, dude.

Cut me one up. Boy, it hits to get a cow. Let me tell you. Black market cow. You've done that, huh? I do that all that. I do that all that. My fridge right now full of half cow that I spent.

My wedding was a black market pig. I always wanted to split a cow with somebody or whatever. I mean, my brother and my brother and I'll do that back home. Buddy, I split a cow with you right now. Me too. We'll go third time to cow. Yeah, but you'll have to, like, you'll have to be fucking freds and shipped to me, won't it? Well, they do that.

All right. Okay. Well, I thought, and so I know it was like literally my buddy, Corey's uncle, Dan. Dude, you have to freeze it. If you get a half a cat. You got a buddy with an uncle and you ain't done it yet. What I mean is it was a real low rent operation. It was Corey's uncle Dan used to just like fucking split cow.

I know. So in my head is like a freezer for two weeks. Literally December, but. Yeah, we'll get you a cow. Yeah, let's get a cow. A third. of it you can eat a third of it in two weeks if you throw one good party right but the thing is like you're talking about beat or whatever like we have to freak like if me and amber get a half

cow i know that i'm saying like all got to do is put it on ice and but yeah just come on to dude we'll get you a cow no problem get you a cow yeah and we can eat some of it when we're in uh okay well just me and cori'll split a cow we'll just give you some that's right there you go dude i love splitting a cow especially i oftentimes split cow i split cows with this old boy who we got different preferences in cows, which really hits. It's awesome because we don't have to, like, he's not a rib-eye dude.

You know what I mean? So, like, I just get all that shit. I know, dude, some people, I know. Thank you. That's what I say, but not too loud because I don't want him to like, all of a sudden have a ribby that changes his life. You just remind me of something that's upsetting.

It's directly related to this. I don't know if it's like, because it's, well, it's been the cheaper, it's the cheaper cut of beef, but like some people, even when they get a little bit of money, they still go for sirloin they don't realize like no you can afford to you know my mom is a filet person my mom is too spending a lot of money because there's less fat exactly yeah so recently just briefly i was and i still ain't ri by i was always like fuck a filet you know i'm i go big baby but like

i went to um fucking st elmo's in indianapolis right which they don't open until a little outside the window but i still went i didn't want to go in too hard so i got a filet instead because it was less, but at a hidden steakhouse I was like, dude, this is like meat cake. This is like a slice of meat cake. It was like truly unreal, but it's almost sorbet. What I was going to say, uh,

you're talking about your buddies, oh, he likes this, the parts that don't hit and that hits for me or whatever. You just reminded me that Katie told me about somebody that her parents like split a cow with in Waynesboro and the other people took every bit of what their part of it was, including like the cuts of steaks and stuff and just had it all ground up into.

my god yeah what's the point i know i know i was like i yeah that it's fucking painful right i'm not even money don't get me i know right don't crazy don't get wrong like if you're going to eat a hamburger and you have the choice of like right that's a hit your hamburger that's hitting her hamburger but like drey donnie's a great storyteller he may have embellished did something really funny happen at that steakhouse oh well this is what he means you guys have seen this a million times but I think he just means that on the way out a guy stopped me right and was like um basically it's like oh are you try Crowder right and I was like yeah and then uh just you know I'm a fan whatever but he got

very effusive with it like he literally said I'm not making I know I'm raven it says but I swear he said something like you you and what you represent is like it gives my fucking whatever it's like the most important you're how Danny told it this are this is how Donnie told it um you are the most important person in my life that's pretty much what he said that is true and then and then and then after I don't even feel that way about you you're the most important thing in my life I'm such a huge fan whatever and then at the end of it so what are you doing in Indianapolis right okay so this is a part maybe Donnie embellished then Donnie says that you're like well I'm doing

a show I think there's still tickets and the guy was like I can't tonight oh yeah no that did happen yes yes you're the most important person in my life I'm out at dinner right now the show hasn't started yeah yeah so that and then that was bookended that same night after the shows he probably told you this part too when we were leaving there was a guy who had been it who came to the point of that story for everybody listening is like this guy who says it's such a huge fan but like I can't get him to actually come to a show and that's the most important part to me obviously it happens to us all the time You go to a place and you see people, oh, I love you. What the hell are you doing here?

I've got a show. You want to come? Nah, I'm good. And it's like, that's very frustrating. But then later that night, while leaving the show, a guy who had been at the show, goes, hey, great job, Troy. That was great. He did tell me that. So like, this dude came and don't even know my fucking, like, don't even have, you know, obviously doesn't care that much, but was there and liked it.

And enjoyed it. Can't even get my name right. But anyway, yeah, that was raven above all. by the way and I don't regret it that felt really good but um you know what else feels good is upgrading your wallet game am i right fellas had the same old crusty leather brick for eons now bought it at a like a fossil in 2002 or something like that was the jam yeah but back in the opry mills we are fossils absolutely yes i've had it this whole time and it was great but it's starting to give me back problems because i'm getting older and i sit on a angle all goddamn day because you know my wallet stay fat boy but it don't have to. You don't have to have to have.

All right. I've got a, uh, I've got it. Is this anything? I do. I do too. You can go first. Oh, no, you go first. Um, so I don't have no.

This is just an idea. So you tell me if it's like even too weird to even try or what if there's a different angle or what, but like people say all the time and I generally agree with it. Like I've heard, you know, the, uh, they recently maligned bill. burb. I heard him say once. He was going on a screed against billionaires and stuff as he was want to do for so long. He said something about you know, this whole

our whole country's been driven in the ground or whatever because this fucking guy couldn't get laid in high school, right? He's talking about Elon Musk, right? And the idea that you know, in sales and then being a huge problem, but just dudes that, you know,

can't get any pussy basically or any play. And then they blame the world for that and then later end up ruining the world and I think that there's definitely some truth to that or whatever so like setting that up and then being like so I believe that but it still would be weird for me to like go to my teenage sons and be like all right boys daddy says you got to get some pussy right and that's what I mean like yeah so even weirder to go to teenage girls and say you know I'm going to give me some pussy my son maybe put them on the glass bitch because I don't I don't know where to like

go with that. I just think that's a funny like observation. Because I do like, when people say that about these guys, I do. Agree. But it's like, but also like, but those guys suck. So I guess it's just, you know, you got to just raise a kid that doesn't suck, but you can't. But in a, even then, it's like, how do you teach your son how to get pussy? Right. That's what I'm saying. I'm about saying. I'm saying, even raising a boy

that doesn't suck, it's still like what? So he can get laid? Because that's still weird. I don't even think about it that way. I think if you teach them to be cool and be good people, they just will get pussy. That's what I was going to say. Like all those... And I just know that,

but I just pretend I don't know that. No, no, no. But like all those guys that are like, oh, the fucking... They're like, she won't fuck me because I'm a nice guy. And then they do all this crazy stuff. And it's like, you're... You can't be a nice guy if you're capable of...

If this happens, then you flip the switch and all of a sudden you don't care if women get molested in a fucking alley. You're not a nice guy. But like actual nice guys who are funny and charming, I do think end up. winning out and those guys just assume those dudes are assholes but like i guess you don't teach your kids how to get pussy you just teach your kid how to be a good dude right and that and that it will find its way out there's nothing funny about that but there's not that's unfortunate

but there's nothing funny about that because like i do think the worst like the worst dudes at getting pussy i know were the dudes who like thought they had a playbook of how to get pussy right like Well, the simpler way into it, I think, is that one of the biggest nightmares that I can imagine is the idea of one of my, one or both of my sons turning into like a full-blown in sale. Right. Like, no one wants that. And I don't want that terrifies me, but like, but the, but, but that means. Right. You need your son to get pussy.

Exactly. Yes. Right. Which is weird. So, and I just think that that whole. dynamic is just a funny thing. I don't know how to make that funny or where the like jokes come into that or whatever, but I just think that that's a funny. What about a volseller? Do those, do those exist? They're voluntarily sell, but like you can because like that's definitely a thing.

The insales obviously, they'd love to do it, but they don't. And like my, my deal when I was younger, and this really just always kind of worked for me. Drew was a vol sale, right? I mean, like a, like a Christian teen is a vol sale. I was an aspiring one. it just never worked out. Like, my rule was... Well, my buddies would... Who smoothed the pussy get and you couldn't help it? You kept falling bass backwards into pussy.

That's not what I'm trying to say. That's not what I'm trying to say. It kind of did work out like that because, like, my buddies, I was always more into having a good time with the boys and have... Then I would, like, pussy was great, but my buddies would go to a party and they would have, they would all... It's like they couldn't have a good time at that party. unless they got some pussy. And I would see that and I'd be like,

you're not even having fun at the part. Like, we're here to drink and have fun with our friends. Pussy's the thing that if it happens, it's great, but you shouldn't like spend your whole night trying to do this thing and then if it don't work out,

your party was bad. So I would just be like, hey, man, if some pussy happens to fall on my lap, great, but I'm just going to be doing shots with the boys. And sure is shit, at the end of the night, me and some girls with lock eyes and boom, it happened.

So, like, I was never, but I also, it was the girl, I think it was some of the girls, that had been beat down so much that finally they were like, this guy seemed safe because I was kind of chubby and whatever.

There's all those dudes who were walking around being like, how do we get pussy, weren't hitting for them? That's what I'm saying. I think I could be wrong, but I think that the secret to all this is to teach people to be good people.

Yep, be a fun hunt. The secret to this joke, I think, is to act out trying to explain any of that to a 13-year-old. Yes. Where you're like, I really need you,

to get laid but if I teach you how that will ruin in and of itself that's the problem like you need to not be consumed with getting laid but if you don't get laid

I mean it's really just the horror it's a microcosm a funny version of the horror of being a father in general which is like teaching you how to cope with this world there is no playbook and there's a paradox here of

just saying to you at 13 the secret to your life not being fucking up is that you need to get some girls. Right. But even framing it that way, it is going to potentially turn you into one of the worst people in the world. Right.

What if the way you frame it on stage is sort of like having a Birds and the Bees part two? You know what I mean? Like when your kid, you just give them the basics, like when a mommy and daddy love each other. And so basically you're explaining the same thing to your 14 year old kids with the same childlike language, but obviously it's evolved. You know, it's like, you know, son, when a guy that, those Wonderwall on the guitar and a girl that wears overalls with just a bra underneath that see each other at a party they you know what I'm saying like not that but

like birds and the bees it up but with more disgusting I don't fucking know no that's I mean yeah that sounds like either that you're that's like a you both kind of said versions are the same thing that the bit itself takes the form of kind of an act out where you are actually trying to explain this to a kid which so the form of a like birds and the bees reboot that's focused on that and then so because you're trying to not to be disgusting yeah right yeah well i mean the try not to be disgusting part genuinely both in the joke and in the real world is genuinely just like women aren't objects and i don't mean that like like so i can say the woke thing it's genuinely just like it's not about getting pussy it's about

being a person in the world and then you want to get laid and guess what so do other people you know including women but in terms of the joke to me the funny part is like how impossible this is to convey. Yeah, right. I'm very worried about you, son, because at your age, you're playing a lot of video games and jacking off,

and you need to not do that. You need to go out. But if I get you too focused on that, on the thing you need to do, I'm fucking you. And also, I like that you play video games and jack off because you're home safe.

Like, there's that part of me. Well, I don't look, dude, I don't think either one of my, but they're 13 and 14. I don't think they should be out of, fucking fucking right now. Of course. But getting their dick sucked,

like not fucking, but like they should be doing something. No, dude. No, hold on now. Hold on now. We're friends, all right?

Like, we can't be, like, at 14. You can tell him that, Corey. I know. That's what we're trying to help him with.

I'm saying like, no, we're trying to help him with a joke about how awkward this is. Right, but your son should be getting jacked off. I'm trying to help Tray be a good dad. Because I think you got it.

I'm just saying I genuinely believe that at 14, you should be getting jacked off at least on top of the pants. Like I think because you have to I think it's cool if you are I don't know if you should be I should have to Semantics if it's happening I don't think there's anything wrong

You're not like That's true Going down the wrong path If you've done that But it is time You know what I mean Like it is I think it's approaching time

I would argue Approaching time Time 15 16 I don't know Yeah You know According to the Republicans those people, especially if their

women, are ready to fuck old men now, the 15-16-year-olds, so By the way, I'm only being... Put that in there, Trey. Put that in your joke, funny man. I'm only being flippin about this because my son's not approaching that age yet, but I will be singing a different tune, I'm certain. I almost was going to do a very macho

dumb bit about how, like, I don't know, man, I was not worried about my son getting pussy. And then I didn't say it because I was like, well, yeah, of course not. Jesus Christ. Yeah, and we're not either. No. The operatives here is like, being able to interact in the world, including romantically, is kind of your job as a dad to teach him how to do that.

But when it comes to this, it's, yeah, it's just like, the worry, I don't, the worry is them becoming, like, essentially a monster, right? And the current version of, like, what a young white man who's a monster. is, is like heavily associated with in-seldom and all that, like, you know, fucking- theory on you, not the shit on Billy Burr. I mean, he's getting plenty of it lately. It could, it could be an inverse thing. It might be that monsters can't get laid anymore. It might not be that being an insults, turning people into monsters. It might be that women now realize they don't have to fuck monsters. Right. Yeah. And that's why the nice, good-looking guy has five girlfriends and

the monster has none because those five girls would all rather fuck the same guy or whatever it's getting gross but get finger behind the bleachers or whatever you know what I'm saying it like it couldn't be a reverse thing back in the day too you could hide who you were a lot longer than you can now you know what I mean like you like like girls know the girls can check your profile and just scroll down and know if it's ever going to happen or not based on who you are as a person used to you could at least be smooth acting now They got too many ops. I think as far as the joke goes,

it's tough because what's really, really interesting about it is that we're all thinking about the lamell loneliness epidemic. And what's the problem with young men? And then if you have a young man, I mean, I did a bit not about the sex stuff, but just about my own nephews. And even there, I had to think about how, what if they become, what if my son becomes off?

You're not allowed to kill them. You used to be allowed to just murder one, blame it on the winter so there's like something i think universal about like i don't want my kid to be a piece of shit right then there's definitely something zeitgeisty about in sales are becoming pieces of shit because they hate women but part of the reason they hate women is they think dumb things about them well that's not very funny you know i mean like it like but what is funny is like you're you're kind of approaching it like right so how do i teach them how to get along with chicks i'm already behind the bomb i already sound like the wrong guy for the

fucking job, how do I do this? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's a weird thing. If you set this up, and I just don't remember it, I apologize, but it is interesting that like the whole narrative on this, this, the male loneliness epidemic has flipped the narrative on what it means to be a parent anyways, because you used to, like, your whole thing was like, oh, I got to make sure my kid stays out of trouble and doesn't fuck girls and get, and now it's like, I got to make sure my kid's not a fucking loser. And then he goes out with girls and makes mistakes.

That way he doesn't come back and kill everybody. Now, that's an interesting angle of, like, my parents were like, I mean, you could even tie it into, I'm sure you don't do these jokes anymore, but it's kind of tied into like how we just were allowed to fuck off. Yeah, right. But then we'd have to get that warning. I'm like, don't get no one pregnant, you know. Right. Now it's like, dude, go get someone pregnant. Please.

That's the only way we're going to be grandparents because we had children so late in life. We need you to. Honestly. No, not me. It's not you. take for the audience angle on the same concept, which is my parents were so worried about us getting out of the house, fucking breaking rules,

getting someone pregnant. And now I'm realizing I'm a parent of the generation where I've got to be the opposite. I'm going to have to ground his kid if you don't get his dick wet soon. Yeah, no, that is that, yeah, that is good. Like so that's more about like kind of a, you know, more stand-upy what less inherently weird it might be more palatable you know that's what i was trying to yeah that uh that angle on it but all right what's yours corey okay so

this is you know me i normally don't have anything written out as you do but i actually do have this one written out and i i know it it makes sense to me and i don't know if it's what i need is more tags or whatever but anyways i had this thought of like um you know it's us like we grew up in school learning all this stuff about america and it's so hard for people people to like, you know, when like the Columbus Day thing with the Italians, like you can't mention that Columbus was bad to these people because they heard nothing but him being good. And we cherish that and hold on to it. So what I've come up with is that America is like your dad. Like when you're a kid, you think he's the coolest thing. He's your hero. But the thing

is you only think that because all the stories of your dad being awesome were told to you by your dad. And he tells the same stories all the time. But you believe him because he's your dad and he's awesome so you run around school being like my dad can beat up your dad until one day uh when you're a little older a Vietnamese kid is like um actually your dad tried that shit once and even though my dad was way smaller and had fewer resources he totally kicked your dad's ass and you're like wait what and then you meet another kid and he's like yeah your dad stole my dad's land and built a house on it and you're like what the fuck and then you start questioning everything you're like goddamn why did mom even put up such a fight when dad left this is crazy you know what I mean but he's still your dad and you love him

feel like there's there's something there in like how we approach U.S. history. But I'm not sure. The dad and that is just America. America. Because when you're a concept of America. Yeah. You do it growing. Doing a pleasure of allegiance. America's awesome. Whatever. And you do it with your

dad. Your dad's your hero. But then one day you see him, you see his flaws. And you're like, oh my God. What the fuck? Like my dad's fucked up. What's the joke really about? But does that make sense? And also is the Vietnamese part of money. Yeah, can I give you a thought on the Vietnamese part?

Please. Just word economy. Until one day your dad gets beat up by Vietnam. Right. Just like just just almost go meta with the right over the head with it. I do to. Yeah, like break the,

no, I didn't do your dad gets beat by Vietnam. You're like, fucking what? Yeah, yeah. There's something there for sure. Another short one. Man, this one. all right so this is about trans people in the army which I've done a joke on that before

but this one is more along the lines of like I don't understand why people they're like we can't have trans people in the army we can't have trans people in the army and I don't get it because like we let men in the army and we let women in the army and like if you believe what you believe that no matter what that's at least they're at least one of them right they're at least one of those things so why not and they're like well these people are fucking crazy

and I'm like have you met any Navy SEAL like they all are To me, you would have to be insane to join the U.S. Army right now when realistically all our wars are about Israel. So, like, why wouldn't you want the most insane motherfucker over there? You know what I'm saying? And then also a tag to that. I was clearly really high when I said, wrote this. That is, look, being trans is weird. Like, I don't mean that it's bad, but it is weird.

And I don't think it's wrong for people to ask questions about it when a lot of them are seeing it for the first time. because like if you lived in a world this is so dumb if you lived in a world completely devoid of lamps and then you woke up one day and there was just lamps everywhere i don't think you'd be like well i guess it's lamps now like you would at least want to know why you'd at least want an explanation for it and i think that to some people trans people are way weirder than lamps and to some people they've just been to some people and to a lot of people they're just showing up out of nowhere and i don't think that these people like obviously they shouldn't go and you shoot them but they should be allowed to be like all right what's this all about without being crucified so lamps

I don't know why lamps I don't know why lamps such a I was high when I wrote this thing the fact that it's lamps to me but like I look that obviously you know that's definitely a minefield that you're traipsing into there but I to me the thing that I thought of I think he threw the mine into the field yeah right yes it's pro trans for the record I have some thoughts on that. When I, for me, yeah, I'm not even saying I agree with the general conceit of that necessarily. I don't know that I do.

But when like this whole, the kids with the fuck, this six, seven shit, right? Yeah. Like that came to literally completely out of nowhere. And I'm like, I do not like, what is that? And it upsets you a little bit. But, but I don't think that those. kids should not have rights would make it older or whatever. Me too.

Because that's something that I thought about saying before, but I didn't know even that part. Because you brought it up, they say, and they say they believe that trans people, they have a mental illness, right? Right. And it's just like, well, my wife has ADHD.

Like, you don't think fucking, she should, like, we need to put her in a camp, you know what I mean? Like, fucking, if you read about some of the war heroes we've had, like they were insane. Like,

the idea that even if you genuinely, in your heart believe that it is a mental illness it's like, so what fuck people whose brains don't work right? You know, and I have clinical depression. Can I not do something?

Fuck all those people. They don't give a fuck. They don't like homeless people. They don't use the word neurodivergent. They don't give a fuck about none of that shit. So I guess it's not really that inconsistent if you're just an asshole. But yeah, it's weird to me.

I don't want to put too fine a point on this, but I think that if you get this right, This could be one of the most important jokes in the history of comedy. I've had a couple of those. I just say that because I'm dying to see you do this. Well, I'm going to try it. I'll try anything.

I'm dying to see you do this in front of me. But in the spirit of this segment, I think with the point you're trying to get across, I think, and this will work better in terms of being palatable, in my opinion. The point I think you're trying to get across is that trans people are not new or different, but they are to a lot of people.

Right. And, you know, reality is that trans people had to be in the closet in the past. Now they're not. That's a good thing. But for a lot of people who had never been in the bedroom, much less the closet,

they're sitting in the kitchen going, what the fuck is at? Right. It's strange. And so we have to acknowledge that it is strange for them and blah, blah, blah. But I don't know what that has to do with the Army joke. It don't. I don't either.

It was just, I think what it was is I had a separate thought about trans at the same time and just wrote it underneath that because it just kind of came together. Well, that really wasn't about trans people. It was about what do we do in the world now that it is normalized. Right. Used to, there was a gradual period. Normally normalized they're two very different. Sure, for sure.

Fun fact related to all that, though, and this is not the same because this wasn't America or whatever, but just in keeping what we're talking about. Eddie Izards, landmark comedy special, dressed to kill, which came out, I think, in 1997 or maybe 1998. First of all, he at that time, he used the term to refer to himself as a transvestite, but that special includes a bit about trans people in the military. I'm sure it does. 30 years ago. It's about the 19th, whatever, transvestite brigade with fabulous makeup and, you know, whatever else. I don't remember what all he does.

But he definitely talks about trans people in the military in a special from 30 years ago. But to your point, Drew, the people that are all freaking out about trans people now are the same people that came over to my house when I was watching the Eddie Izard special and called me queer for fucking two weeks afterwards because they were like, what the fuck is this shit? He's wearing a dress.

I mean, it's one of the greatest of all time. Absolutely. But absolutely. it is here's the thing about that he you know he eddie's right in terms of he when he was like oh the most fabulous brigade of all time when black people first were joining the military they had their own brigades i don't know if you care about this but the answer to your question from their perspective corey well you got men and that's a very funny point like you allow men in and you allow women and it doesn't matter how you feel about whether this trans woman is a woman or man it's one

of them it's one of them and that's a binary and they're allowed in The question becomes what to do with it. Right. And that is where even the least hateful, which they're all a little bit hateful, transphobes, that's where, like, policy-wise, and I realize you're writing a joke, you're not trying to overcome policy. But to answer your question that you asked in the joke, what's your problem, it would be where do we put them? Right, but then shouldn't it just be based on merit and skill and what they can do anyways like it should always be? That is literally where they sleep. And I think it's work exploring comedically because you can.

come up with some funny things. But in doing so, you are yet again throwing minds into a field. I'm fine with that as long as I'm being honest and obviously it's pro-trans and I'm trying to figure something out. Like I'm in no way am I do it. This isn't like a ha-ha, let's do it. Like I want to understand, you know, and I'm like I'm trying to figure out as much as anybody is.

What are you trying to figure out though? Because it seems like you're trying to figure out people who are against them being in the military. Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out where the line is, like, I kind of want everybody to just come out and say like, ooh, gross, we hate them, fuck them all, but they won't. That dance around it. Like, well, actually, it's because of this. It's like, no, no, no, say what you mean. Drew did just, that point Drew just made. I hadn't really thought of before. Which is like, because as soon as you brought that, because I had thought that too, it's like, what's it matters? But because it feels like they just don't want them to exist at all. And that's the right. I know they don't. I know they don't. But it's like, But in terms of when they say, you know, we don't think they should be in the military. And you're like, why? You know, if you think that trans woman is really still a man and that's what you believe, what men are allowed in the military, why do you give a fuck? But you're right to them, like you said, what literally where, you know,

when the person's in the military, they're like, well, they're not, they're going to force them to be in a different barracks or whatever than they want to be in. And then that's going to cause trouble. And like so. But to be fair, Trey, and then this might help your joke, Corey. this is the whole issue with the bathroom stuff. Right, right. Because by your own standards, none of us can live up to them.

It's all those great videos that go viral of someone who's gone through a transition and they've taken the hormones and they have a full beard. And they're like, do you want me to go to the bathroom with your wife? Right, according to your bill, I should. So it's funny because this is them admitting it. With the military stuff, that's them admitting that how stupid the bathroom policy is because they're going, well, shit, we can't. put a bearded man in here

but he was born with the pussy so we're not putting him with them. It's like, yeah, you see how fucking stupid it is. And it's unfortunate that Izard already did the bit because what would be funny is you coming up as a comedian with the solution which is the all trans brigade. Sure, but also those same

people too where they're like, we can't have men should be with men and women should be with women, but you'll have that same person who's like, I don't want a gay guy in my shower because he'll be looking at me and it's like, okay, we'll put him in the women's shower and they're like, well, we can't because he's a guy. So then it gets down to the whole thing of, like, you just don't want him to exist.

Because you know they feel that way. Like you have, when fucking Michael Sam came out as gay, everybody was like, I wouldn't want to be in a locker room with him, looking at my shit all the time. And it's like, right,

but that's a guy. So you're telling me he shouldn't be in the bathroom with guys because he likes guys. Like, well, it's also like there's women in the NFL locker rooms all the time. All the time. Yeah.

I mean, nobody cares of Clarissa's in there. It's like part of exploring how to do the joke means to think there. the logic but when you think through the logic that's the problem you game it out and it's take logic it's they don't want to exist so they're coming up with the best argument that they can against them being in the military because they just don't want them there and the best one they have is i don't know where they should sleep okay they should sleep with whatever

they identify and they go well i have a problem with that so you know do what you will with that as a joke it's funny to me though that like they they trust these people in such high-pressure situations to protect each other and protect our Constitution, but they're like, we let them sleep together, all sorts of things might happen. You know what I'm saying? Like, they're like,

oh, this trans person might, I don't understand how you could trust someone with your life, but not trust them to sleep in a bunk above you, is all I'm saying. Like, then it gets really weird. Like, what are we even doing here? You would trust this person to jump on an eye. But they don't, though, right?

They don't trust the trans people with, no, but I'm saying. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's true. I can also make a, I guess, liberal point of view argument against what you're saying, too, though, which is like, if I'm in the military and it was my job and someone came to me with that, regardless of trans or gay people, they were just like, we can't trust these men and women to be in the barracks together, but we can trust them with our lives. I'd be like, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that's the truth. And by the way, do you want to handle the rapes that keep coming across my debt when they spike? Because now you put them in the same fucking room? Yeah. I mean, I can imagine a trans person being interested in the military and being like, but I have no interest in me. I was just about to say it's like I'm not, I think they should be allowed to be in, but I was just about saying, I don't know why in God's name any trans person would want to be in our fucking military. I don't know why any marginalized person would want to fight for this fucking country, but that's, that's, that's, you know,

I think they should be able to. I'm just saying, I don't know why they'd want to, though. I don't think you should be illegal for anyone to be in the military. well anyway that's it we got to wrap it up this week come to see me on the road uh this weekend's well actually if you're watching this the day it comes out and you're in los angeles come to lago tonight please and then this weekend oklahoma city uh and then fort wayne indiana the weekend after thanksgiving and then wrapping up the year as always with these two gents at zanies and nashville well we're at home for the holidays all those are at traycrouter dot com plus a bunch of other dates that are already listed for 2026 we already got shit fucking next october and stuff so go check it
