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

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

Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low 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 subscriptions with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish.

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

So that was that in response to. What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out.

So shout out to them. They help. 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 they're the they're the railroad next day like cornbread but sex they care way too much but don't give a fun. They're the next that makes some people upset But they got three big old dicks that you can suck Oh, Trey, I need to tell you, I'm not going to say Part of this will be inside baseball, but I'm up for a thing, you know, And so I had to send a package deal to like the people, they were like, you know, we love you, we're ready to roll, but we also got to see some of your clips or whatever. And one of them that me and Val talked about was like the episode of the well-read podcast that I did

where, like, y'all couldn't be there. So I just for over an hour without edits just described the plot to kidnap Lincoln, the failed attempt, and then the plot to murder him and then the conspirator trial afterwards. We were like, that's a really good one to showcase that like you can hold a train of thaw. and improv and tell a good story while walking through the woods and be a good host. And I was like, yeah, I agree. But I sent it and the girl sent back. She's like, I watched that whole fucking thing.

She said, and it was great. Don't get me wrong. She goes, but I, she goes, that fucking theme song that y'all have. She goes, that is just a spot of brilliance. I was like, I was like, well, that was, Trey wrote it. And our buddy, Pat Paul John, you know, sang it for us or whatever. but it both hit and didn't hit. Like I wanted them to just be like, God, what a wonderful.

You know, what a wonderful story. But I was like, I was like, yeah, it is. It's nice. Why did you say, yeah, I wrote that. Oh, I can't do that. No, I mean, I said, you can to her. You can't, like, on the internet. You absolutely can to her.

No, no, no. No, because, because I want, I want this deal to help everybody. Rising Tides all sink ship. I want, like, you know, when I'm up for something, I want everybody to know, like, yeah dude not only me but my boys too you know what i mean like my boys too like we got a whole thing going like like i fucking put your uh drew within the packet i put your sketch in there that i was in the diner one yeah i was like very adamant like i'm acting in it which i think i do a good job

but this is written by drew morgan i think it's like impressive to people too because you're like yeah these aren't my jokes and look how i made them seen well that it wasn't even just that it was just i was like this is just good like this is just really good but like i i put on there i'll show he's like This was written by Drew Morgan. I put accent problems written by Trey. And of course, I put the ones I wrote in there. But to me, I think it's just as important in the business to be like, look who I surround myself with. You know what I mean?

And as you know, dude, I mean, I don't know how y'all feel. We've said it a million times. I still feel like all things lead to sketch show. I still feel like whatever happened with Comedy Central and TBS was a god who's unjust. evil working against us because what a what like they blew we had it Hollywood dude I went I went back and looked when I was getting all the links to those sketches I was like basically just on comedy Central digital's like sort of website and like bro not only did we get more views than everybody it's like literally not even close it's like the difference in how much money Elon Musk has and how

much money Donald Trump has no much the only thing I'll say about comedy cent as with everything with us. It's always just like, timing was shitty. Always, always, always. Yeah. But it's like, Comedy Central, let's be,

I mean, how much do they even, you know, they play the office all day now, right? All day. Yeah. They still have,

they still got the daily show and everything, and they still got South Park and that. They still have their institutions, a couple of them, you know, they're left. Trey and Matt can literally just every year just go, give us this much and they have to go,

okay. Right. But they, but I'm saying, I could be wrong. I definitely don't know for sure. but I wonder if Comedy Central, from the time we started working with them on the digital sketches, and now if they ever even did an actual, like, televised sketch show.

Oh, no, no. Or anything original. They also changed. Like a new original. Right. Yeah. So, I mean, that's like, we just got, you know what I mean? That's not then.

Yeah, it wasn't. They didn't pick somebody else who hit less than us to do, instead of whatever. They just didn't, they just stopped doing things. Stop doing it. Yeah, as soon as we got good at it, they were like none of this ever again. Of course. They also change regimes. That's why I blamed God.

That's what happened to TBS. I was going to think of TBS. Well, the dude got me-tude, I think. Yeah. We've gotten so many people me-tude. God damn. Of course. Everybody we work with is like, we love these guys.

And then two weeks later, they're like, let me write an op-ed on how I did a thing, you know, or whatever. But anyways, I do just want to say to y'all that, like, I did this. this on my, I did a lot, I did an eight hour live stream the other day, um, where I was like, half of it was playing video games. Half of it was like, you know, just talking to the chat or whatever. And somebody brought up, uh, one of the sketches or whatever. And I was like, fuck it. I was like, I'm going to, I said, you know what? Because I've been listening in this director commentary, uh, podcast where they've basically just stripped all the director commentary off DVDs and put it on a podcast. I was like, I'm going to do that, but with our sketches. And so I did for

like several hours and like dude people were just there were some people that had never seen them before like they had either discovered me late or discovered us late or whatever and like bro the reaction was like I mean it was tearing me up like the people they were they were like pointing out things that I didn't even realize were funny in the sketch you know what I mean and it was really cool it was really really really really cool and they also pointed out they're like so do one of y'all is it like in your contract that one of you has to be in drag and I was like, yep, 100%? 100% that's in the contract.

Just hits, you know. You know, oldest comedy itself, I think. Oldest comedy itself, man. I mean, and that's never going to go away. You know, like that type of comedy is always going to be good. I was talking with our friend Louis Black the other day. And we had a very long conversation. We talked about two and a half hours.

And we were talking about how, like, nobody does slapstick comedy anymore. And like, when you think about slapstick, you think about Abbott and Costello and stuff. But like, dude, Will Ferrell movies are full of slapstick. You know what I mean? Well, it's all on the internet, right? What's that? Slapstick is now lives on the internet.

Yeah, but like, I don't think in like actual sketch form like literally just like this funniest home videos. Exactly. Like, look at this bitch fall off of Jesse. And like, but we love that and that's funny. What about Jackass or is that over? Well, Jackass is like now every time Jackass comes out, it's like we're remembering jackass you know what i mean yeah i mean literally a few of them are dead yeah right exactly but that's but

we're just dead to johnny knoxville but i'm glad that you brought that up because that is why jackass works because like slapstick and by the way um it takes skill and those guys are good at it but like i remember walking out of jackass forever which was the last one they did i remember walking out of jackass forever and texting y'all and i go guys there's nothing we could ever write that would be as funny as what they just do without writing it, just what they put their bodies through. Well, I mean,

they, some of that stuff is pretty elaborate and wild and they do come up with it. There's a certain level of genius involved with devising the things that they do. Their geniuses. Their geniuses.

Fucking Buster Keaton was a genius. Charlie Chapin was a genius, but it was all slapstick, no words. It jokes were not a thing. It was just get hit on head. But we've talked about this before. I think the first time we brought it up,

we talked about that hippo, and apparently the video was fake, that hippo that's farting. Only the sound is fake. Which is a big part of it. But like, dude, there's no artists who can paint a sunset prettier than the sunset. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't paint a sunset.

And it doesn't mean I don't like what they've come up with. Like, Starry Night is incredible. Right. It's not as incredible as staring up on a clear night in the middle of the desert at a bunch of stars. Right. Except that. Depending on where you live.

But also except that after the 15th time you do that, you may still be in awe, but there's only one fucking story not. And so I just feel like I hear what you're saying. There's no Bill Burr joke that's actually funnier than what's going on on Jackass. But I love Bill Burr way more than I love that. Me too. It's a different medium. It's a huge different medium, but those mediums used to, I guess what me and Lewis were talking about was that the Fairley Brothers is really where we started talking about where these two worlds meet, right?

The Fairley Brothers, you know, comedy usually holds up like fucking. bread. Like it gets stale after a while. But those Fairley Brothers movies, Dumb and Dumber being the number one example. Well, you got Carrie and Daniels in that one too. For sure. You can't discount that. But like, so much

of it is physical comedy that requires no point of reference of like you know, like in a lot of comedies they'll try to do like current things like trends or whatever. And those don't, 20 years later they don't make sense. But fucking Jim Carrey, you know,

or Jeff Daniels fucking shitting on a toilet. Yeah. But I'll tell you, even that, part of the reason comedy age is poorly is, like you said, it becomes dated. But also it's like generational taste change and stuff too. Sure. Because like, yeah. So like, yeah, dumb and dumber holds up for you.

And look, let me get to the end of this. All right, because this didn't hit for me either. But it's. Your kids. Well, they didn't not. And I talked to Thompson about this too, because he also showed his. sons around the same age as my sons. We both showed our sons in separate states.

Dumb and dumber. And we both had the exact, we both had the exact same experience with them watching, which is to say, like, it did hit for them. But like, for me and Thompson, for their,

like, that's the greatest thing that's ever happened. It, like, you know, through the roof, fucking euphoric level hitting. Yeah.

That we watched over and over again. Funniest thing I'd ever see to my life, like, my favorite comedy movie of all time. Like, and it was just, like, life-changing hilarious for us

when we were around their age and it came out and for our sons now they watched it and they were like yeah you know they're like yeah no that was funny it was good but it wasn't like it wasn't like oh my fucking God the way that it was you know what they have one of those um Minecraft movie whether it's a chicken

yeah I mean to be a movie too they also were like the same thing they were like oh it was good it doesn't have to be a movie I mean even if it's just like somebody they follow on YouTube like what is the height of comedy. Because I think the sentiment you just expressed, not everyone shared

it, but it was a very common. A lot of people around our age were like, Dumb and Dumber is the craziest best thing I've ever seen. Do they have something like that? I think too a lot of this though is that we are all three students of the game and so we watch things differently because like I

just, I thought about this just now. Wait, I'm sorry. There's no answer to the question? That wasn't rhetorical. Literally. No, I know. He just He jumped in. Oh, my bad. You know why? No, I was an asshole.

I don't, there's no way I could have an answer to that because I don't have teenage kids, so I forgot that you were talking to Trey. I'm sorry, go ahead. I'm sitting here trying to think, and I can't, you know, like, I mean, dude, you know. They don't make comedies like they used to.

First of all, there is that, that is true. I was going to say, it's like, dude, it's memes and shit. Memes, yeah. Which, they like YouTube guys. Which, I mean, I like memes, too. Mr. Beast? Am I stupid? Is it like...

There has to be. They probably like the Andrew Santino and I bet Theo Von Clips are the movies of today. You know what I mean? For kids a little older than mine, I think. Like high school boys or whatever, probably, yeah, Theo Von Clips and stuff, you're probably right. But it's like, it's hard to explain. It's like almost like sketches but in video games. Like, you know, where they set up like a premise for a video game that's like inherently

funny, you know what I mean? Like cranking somebody through a video game or something like that or whatever. Right. Is there a-Leroy-Jenkins person, though? Like, is there an entity that is number one? Probably. I'd have to ask them and they'd have to tell me. That makes sense.

I mean, yeah, no. There definitely is. I just don't know who the person is. Right. So, yeah. Think about this. This blew my mind and it just kind of occurred to me. My dad showed me blazing saddles when I was probably seven years old.

right before they out that movie that movie came out in 1974 okay so he showed me that movie when I was seven years old they would have been 20 years later that's the same as when I'm going to show my kid super bad like that's the same difference in time you know what I mean super bad I'm glad you use it as reference is one of the few that'll hold up as well as Blazing Saddles which is not to say that your son will be like holy shit unless he's a big comedy nerd like we are but he's gonna be like yeah that was great it will it will hold up i agree with you more than some bit and dude i think i think duie cox will end up having i think duie cox will end up having a bigger life than all of them because it's a lot of slapstick but yeah you're right

i mean i do think that like that's why super bad is so good is because like you know here's an idea that that uh set rogan had when he was fucking 13 like literally he wanted to play jonah hill good but he aged him but he aged out of it so therefore the comedy is timeless. They don't have a lot of references to current things that are going on, whatever. But with Blaz and Saddles, like, I remember being a child and knowing this is an old movie, but also just really getting it. And I think a lot of that has to do with, like, that movie blended great jokes with also

slapstick farting. It's like, you've got to have something for everybody. You don't have to have something for everybody for something to be great. but in order for it to stand the test of time, you do have to have everything. You know what I mean? I think in comedy that's true. In comedy, that's 100% true.

Like modern times, modern times, for instance, with Charlie Chaplin, it's a silent film. I mean, there's a couple lines of dialogue that they dubbed in, like, later because you could do that, but then they would have to play them

like separately at the theater. But, like, there's like two movies from that era, like the 20s and 30s whatever, that, like, I feel I could show anyone without having to do the normal thing that I do when I show people an old movie, which is basically stand up in front of them and give a PowerPoint presentation on why exactly they should appreciate this. And listen, this is going to seem stupid, but you've got to understand, blah, blah, blah. And those two movies are like modern times, which is a silent movie. And, by the way, Drew, if you've never seen modern times, it'll be your favorite movie ever. And then singing in the rain.

Singing in the rain was just funny. It was funny as shit. There was good dancing. Everybody was hot. It was awesome. You know, and so those, and it had the total package, so it holds up, you know.

The next thing I'm going to go with and see it, which I've been putting off, but I'm about to not. Might even, no, not tonight, because I had my own comedy show tonight, but soon.

Where you at? Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Watched it this morning. Really? Watched it this morning. I've been thinking about it for years. You're talking about it. There's a lot.

You're gay. I watch it this morning. How did you know? Are you in my fucking brain right now? God damn it. That's the one I've been waiting to show them for a while. But I'm about to pull the trigger on it. Because that was that movie like for me,

because that, you know, that movie came out way before I was born. And when I was about there, I was 11, 12, whatever. It holds up, dude. And I saw that all those years after it had come out, generationally removed from it. Dude, I, I, I've lived,

one of all-time favorites just destroyed me. The genius. of them going, we don't have a budget to get horses, what can we do? I know. We'll just pretend we're riding them and have a guy do coconuts, but then we'll write that into the movie. And that's like, that's one of my favorite parts when he goes, well, those coconuts. And he goes, we'll love it. And he goes, well, coconuts are not native to hear. They require a tropical environment. And Britain is temperate at best. And the guy goes, perhaps a swallow brought them. A swallow. A swallow. brought a one pound perhaps an african swallow that's bigger but as we know that non-migratory it doesn't make sense and i'll

fucking love thinking about us in the writers room going how do we explain this and they did it so perfectly yeah are you are you suggesting that coconuts a migrate and then they're like the the swallow things like he says swallow they're not native to here and he's like these are what he says is like the something may the swallow may fly north in the winter it's south and but these are not strangers to our land yeah but they determined that the only one that would have had the weight to carry it was an

African swallow grip it by the husk and it's like it's not a matter of where he grips it's a simple matter of weight ratios a one ounce bird could not carry a you know one pound coconut yeah one pound coconut right all the way from one

continent to the other it's brilliant but there's also there's so much slapstick in it like that scene the black night scene will be as funny in 100 years as it is now you know merely a flesh wound how come they are on par if not superior

to us I'll say on par in that world of comedy and so far behind us in stand up I don't know those specific guys Monty Python like I think they are just outliers amongst outliers because like no what about fucking I forget their names

Mitchell and Weddys Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Old Greg? But that's sure. No, no, no. But I mean, I'm talking about for the time, like, you know, in the 70s or whatever. Like all those guys.

I think the Brits keep up with us in movie or sketch comedy. Like anything that has to do with the sketch or, like, what am I trying to say? Dialogue. Yes, I agree. Stand up. James A. Kester, I think, is great. He's great.

Are we doing the one that put out more specials at once? Are we doing UK or just Brits? Because I can throw some scots and the Irish people at you. Billy Conley's phenomenal. Connolly's phenomenal. Dylan Morin's phenomenal Eddie Izard's phenomenal Eddie Izard actually almost makes me

kind of be like because he's to me he's like No but that's one person He's the exception that proves the rule No they are behind because He's like one of 10 best to me period I think Jim Jeffries is modern era 10 best too

I mean he's Australian obviously And you're not wrong But you are wrong But I think he came up also For a long time in England specifically But I think I can explain it It all came from theater and America, stand-up was invented in America,

but comedy theater wasn't. That's true, and there's good better actors than us, generally speaking. Well, the whole thing with Monty Python, John Cleese, you know,

like all of these dudes are literal, like, geniuses. Like, fucking John Cleese was a camera. Ask Cleese, he'll tell you. Yeah,

no, I know, trust me. I just listen to his, he has a one-hour audio book, uh, listen, uh,

that, free if you're an audible subscriber about the creative process that I could not suggest more. I will say that a lot of it was just confirmation bias for me going like, oh, thank God. I knew I was doing the right thing. But a lot of it is like these little tips of like, oh, you're right. That does make sense. But he was at Cambridge to be a lawyer. And he loved writing, right?

But they had a theater troupe there where Graham Chapman was like the guy. And he goes, he said, he's like literally the only reason. I joined is because they were the only people at Cambridge that didn't take themselves so seriously. And that was so refreshing to be in a place at Cambridge where everybody wasn't so fucking stuffy. He's like, so I joined and I had to write. They were like, all right, well, you got to write sketches, you know, like that's what we do here. We got to write sketches. And that's how that all formed. But basically, it was just theater that was funny, which, like, frankly, that comes from Shakespeare.

So, like, they actually probably had a leg up on that, whereas we've got a leg up on stand-up comedy because of vaudeville. Is vaudeville ours? Yeah. Vaudville's ours. It sounds French. Yeah, vaudeville's ours.

Vaudville, the style, like, so the style of a variety show might not be ours, but the Americanized version of vaudeville is so much the example that you use of, like, this is what vaudeville is. you know like vaudeville is a juggler the marx brothers um france i fucking told you what i'm sorry vaudeville's orleans are rooted in france right right but i think but but you will be hard pressed to find anyone talk about vaudeville and not go through 900 american vaudeville performers before they get

to a french one well it looks like we were second and it also makes sense in line in my opinion of what we're talking about just historically and academically the french struggle in general with deep comedy because outside of satire, which I think they also invented, they just, they take themselves too fucking seriously. Well, not only that, but we have a bigger country and therefore there were more vaudeville theaters. And guys like, I think it was Jack Alby who created like, let our blacks do it before they let their blacks do it. Yes, and if we didn't have a black, we would make a black out of a lady, out of a band. Definitely knew that second part, but are you, you serious about this? I got about to say, there's almost no way that's true.

Like most early vaudeville acts were stealing from American black theater, so I was just making a head-up. Well, definitely, yeah, but I'm still- I don't know what the French were doing with their blacks other than murdering. I'm sure they were letting them play before we were. I guarantee, like, that has to be. Not baseball. Yeah, I hear you check because they got really late-free before us, but like the French are pretty wild when it comes to racism and colonialism.

Don't do they're all right. I'm pretty sure they invented. Right. Bro, I mean, like, we look at all these other countries as enlightened and we look at like, just like how some people look at the north as enlightened like in the civil war but like the reality of it was is that when like the slaves were freed and they all are right before they all ran up north even the abolitionists of the north were like we didn't mean come up here you know what i mean like like you know i don't i don't doubt what drew saying is correct oh i just i just wanted to

make a hit about our vaudevillian people stealing from our black america don't get me wrong i had a bit about how all these motherfuckers, you know, they ain't no better than us over there. They act like they are and we're more racist. They're not. I know, having said that, you know, vaudeville was early 20th century, right? And there's plenty of stories about

American GIs, right? It went over there for either of the two World Wars who were like stunned at how they were treated different, like in their own country. Like when they were, and

and the French and stuff, like when they were in at, you know, on, on the front lines or whatever, or, you know, like on a tour of duty through France, the French also would see that the way we treated our black soldiers. It would be like, Soccer to fuck is that. Yeah, that's like there's a scene in Allied. And that was the same era, so. There's a scene in Allied where, damn, I can't remember. You know the Allied, the Brad Pitt movie. I watched it on a plane once.

The girl who plays... Is that Mary on Cotillard that's in that man with him? Yes. And she's awesome, and I love her. But a side character is the girl who played... She was in Mean Girl. She was Lindsay Lohan's best friend that was the Goth Girl. I can't remember her name, but she's awesome. She's in a lot of shit.

She was just in that Robert De Niro movie thing on Netflix. She's in... Whatever. Anyways, there's this whole thing of... Part of her thing is this is World War II, and she's, I think, Brad Pitt's sister or whatever, and her and her lesbian lover are, like, out. Like, they're out, making out or whatever.

And they make the comment, they go, this is like the only good thing of the war. Nobody gives a shit about any of these frivolities anymore. You know what I mean? Like, everything is so much bigger that, like, this doesn't matter, you know? Which is, like, such the opposite of what's going on right now. Like, we're in World War III, it seems like, because of those frivolities. You know what I'm saying?

like that's crazy. Yeah. Indeed it is. But I just don't, you know, they said that like Jesse Owens, right? Yeah. He himself said after going to the Berlin Olympics and smoking those Nazis and, you know, really laying it down the way that he did that, you know, he didn't, he, like,

FDR wouldn't have him at the White House or whatever. Like he got like a better reception in Nazi Germany. Yep. Not burgeoning Nazi Germany for doing. doing that than he did when he got back here. So it's like, I'm saying it's like, you know, like, again, don't get me wrong. It's hard to argue.

They colonials, they invented all this just like all, you know, and like I said in a bit, we learned it from you, that was us. All that. I'm not discounting any of that because I'm with all that. I'm just saying like we kind of a every head must bow every tongue must profess type of thing in that. That's true.

That's true. But I also would like to make the point that that was during, he was a, an athlete and that was during a sporting event. And even our racist treat black people who are good at sports way different than they do the average black person. So like, that's kind of anecdotal a little bit. Like, what if Jesse Owens was just a regular dude walking through Berlin? Do you think that would go the same way? Yeah, but you said even our racist treat them.

But the whole point of that story is that they didn't. Like our, his own, the American didn't. And the journalists did. Yeah, you're right. That's true. So anyway, you know what else is true? Hello fresh heads. We always throw to a sponsor at the best time.

We're the worst podcast on the air.

I made one last night. I'm going to make one later this very evening. I like cooking. My personal favorite, two favorite things about Hello Fresh. very briefly. I used to waste a lot of food because I would buy too much because I didn't want to make extra trips to the grocery store and I ended up throwing stuff out and I hated myself for that. Hello Fresh takes care of all that because they do the, you know, the measuring for you.

So you don't have to worry about that. So you save on food waste, which is nice. And also, you can experiment a little bit more. I've cooked so many things with Hello Fresh.

All right. Now back to who's more racist. All right. Let's go back into it. Now, we ain't got to keep doing all that. The Korea, yeah. The Koreans be racist as shit. Asians is.

wild racist against other Asians. And I'm like... And other people too. Other people too, but like, it makes my racism come out. Because when other Asians are racist to other Asians, I'm like, God damn, how y'all know? You know what I mean? Like, how do you...

How do y'all know? Yeah. I said that one weird. I have a bit right now about finding out black people have colorism. Oh, it's rough, man. I've seen it. And... Drew, are you bringing back an old bidders is a whole new thing.

Remember you used to have that... You said that thing about tan people? Yeah, you liked it. No one else did. I liked it. I got well, okay, comedians liked it. I wasn't good enough yet. It's been murdering, dude.

Right. It's always fun when that happens. That's a thing. Yeah, things you weren't ready for. Yes. It's better to let go away. Give it five years and do it again. It's better to go that route in terms of your mental health.

You guys may or may not remember, I mean, I'm sure you do because I probably bothered you about it. But it took me four years. years and a Stuart Huff session to get that global warming joke to work. And I really wish I to just stop for three years and then came back to it. Oh, dude, there's so many jokes I'm doing right now that if I had tried the exact same thing, even at the beginning of our tour, which by the way, we're getting close to 10 years ago from now.

Well, it's nine right now. Yeah, it's nine right now. Even then when, like, I was already 12, 13 years in, thought I had it figured out. like I would not have been able to navigate what it is that I'm doing right now. And I tell, and that's my main thing. Like, you know, now that I'm out there, you know, headlining clubs or whatever and the features of the host will ask me, you know, like any type of advice. I'm like, first off, dude, as far as breaking in, I've always said the same thing.

And I think Drew made this famous. Get a friend who goes viral on the internet. That's how you break in, you know. Like I said, because when I started like, I said, dog, like, when I started gay people couldn't be in a military, Bush hadn't got a shit. you thrown at him yet. Like, YouTube wasn't even a thing. Like, I don't know what to tell you about breaking in.

But I can tell you that, like, if you're two months in, don't try to tackle Gaza. You know what I mean? Like, don't even fucking try it. And damn sure don't put it on the motherfucking internet. But, like, I've noticed, like, recently I did a show in St. Louis, and I did a bit. I didn't write it. I didn't intend on doing the bit. I was just on stage and something happened.

Also, don't try that two months in. What's that? Just doing a thing on state. I didn't intend to, but then I just did it. Yeah, no, absolutely. When you're two months in, intention is everything. Do everything you intend to do. But I was on stage and something led to an old thought that I had had and I never got it to work.

And it fucking murdered. And I was like, oh, you were too young to understand how to say this to a group of people. You know what I mean? But now you're old and so you can do it, not you're older or whatever. And sometimes I think it's like them being. able to receive it from respect you yeah you versus who you were you just remind me of something gaza and jokes this is it's not i'm not trying to do a bit about Palestine or Gaza specifically but i just have this idea and i can't let go of it there's a group called um kneecap and

necap is an iraq rap group and they started they started blowing up before this but then they really took the internet by storm by having this like very big free palestine demonstration at their Coachella set. And then like two weeks later, very recently, their manager went viral with this interview thing where he was talking about what's been happening to them ever since. Anyway, all that. Irish, rap, fuck the British, one of my favorite genres of anything. So I throw them on and I hate it.

I mean, I can't fucking stand this shit. These guys flow like they got potatoes in their mouths. They do. And they have one song I really, really like. I'm not trying to disparage them, but it got me thinking about a bit of just like, this is why you can't choose your art based upon and i started thinking is this what they feel like sometimes at a morgan wallen show like they just sit around being like god damn is this what he sounds like when is he going to say the n-word i've been waiting on it all fucking i saw kid rock last week and he said it

three times before the intermission that's so funny like i don't think they i think they know morgan wall and sucks i don't think they like kid rock i think they think he's lame i think they're just like yeah they have to buy the tickets. Bad ass American flag, dude. They have to buy the tickets. I don't know. You guys got more faith in them than I do taste-wise, I mean. That's fair. I think that a great, great many of them definitely

genuinely enjoy the way more than a man. I don't know, man. There's just been so many, and this isn't like artists or whatever. I'm surprised by this take, but we can keep, yeah, let's do it. No, I like it. I'm for it. I agree with it because I've been in the same, I've been in the same boat with Drew and I won't mention the artist's names.

Huh? Yeah, he's frozen. Oh, am I frozen? Was I froze? Am I still Fres? You Frizz? Oh, I did. Fuck.

Well, shit. It's fine. I'll figure it out. Can they hear him? Oh, it's all going to just sound like, yeah, my internet's fucked up. We had a fucking earthquake and everything's been stupid. Dude, you said, I agree with the take. And it was funny.

I know that you thought that Tray was talking to me, but he was talking to you, so you agreed with yourself. No, I think he, I thought he meant he was agreeing with you. I was agreeing with you. I was agreeing with Drew. I thought you were saying, never mind. No, no, no. I was agreeing with Drew in that, like, I have, like, watched my father painfully pretend to enjoy things that I know don't hit for him because my dad has wonderful taste in music. and the reason I know is that I do and I got it from him, right?

Yeah. I've also seen him like support certain. And by the way, I want to say this. I don't even know. This won't hit for my dad, but like my dad gave a scathing review this week of Donald Trump's immigration policy and it really hit for me. Like my dad was like all fucking in on like he was like, this is fucking bullshit, man. He's like, most of these people just want to be here to work and they're trying to go

through the channels and like he's like realistically what we need to do is make it easier to become a citizen because they should be citizens and he's like basically he was talking about basically he's like you know with the time it takes to become a citizen you can never catch up because like you get like a specific work visa and then it it's like you get the work visa in place of you know your actual citizenship but then you worked and then that whole time your citizenship process is taking place and then if you get fired like seven months before that it's like work is for not get the fuck out of here and he's like that's not right you know he's like this country was founded on people coming over here but at the same time i've seen that on a on a john rich album

exactly but at the same time i've seen my dad who would who would otherwise if my dad was ever in the same room with brett cavanall like if they were ever in the same room talking my dad would walk out of the room he would go this guy fucking sucks and i've seen him look at him on tv and go right on that guy he said he likes to drink beer let me let me add a little nuance to it because I actually, I have a bit that I'm, that it's like, it's definitely going to be a temporary bit, I think, but it's about, it's literally about them having to pretend that certain people hit when everyone knows they don't like that, they have to act like Kevin Sorbo hits. And I say a line there, and I say a line of there, it's like, you know, watching Ted Cruz

having to act like he genuinely enjoys kid rock's music. That's funny to me. It's like, I know you don't enjoy it, you know, like, so I'm, we've never pretended to think that you two hit. You two, we never acted like you did. I'm not, I'm not just, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not disputing any of that because, again, I'm fucking, I'm also talking about it right now. But, like, but I'm saying, I think that, uh, it just depends on who you're talking about in particular.

I think that there's some of those people, like Forgiato Blow and people like that. I think that, or that Tom McDonald or whatever his name is that I believe that most. Tom McDonald's from, uh, no, back to the future. Is that his name Tom McDonald? Yeah, see, the Canadian guy with Drelox. He did a rap with, uh, Roseanne Barr. Maga rap that does rap for Roseanne. that you should have. I think that some of those guys, I fully believe that almost the entirety of their fandom is just people who like just agree with their politics and are pretending to like it. But the first example that was brought up was Morgan Wallen and he don't have for me. But I think he does have some good songs. I think the majority and more of Morgan Wallen fans, I think unfortunately that they love that shit. I mean, I did that bit opening for you in Chattanooga where.

I was like, I was talking about all these people. They were like, man, I'm a huge Morgan Wallen fan. And I was like, oh, what's your favorite song? They're like, what song? Like, whatever, what song? And how, like, I was very tempted to say it because I was like, if that's what it takes, you know, because he was like the number one streaming dude or whatever. But then, you know, to defend Morgan Wallen, I know we've said it on here before,

it was, it was drunk while soft. So, like, it was, it's not as bad as it could be. But, yeah, I agree with. It was drunk while soft. We are sponsored today by him. Drunk while soft. Drunk while soft. Take care of that.

But like, dude, anybody, here's the thing, anybody. If you're talking Dick's drunk while soft, then call him. But if you're talking with Corey's talking drunk while soft, you don't want to fix that, you know. Call Morgan. You guys know that, do you guys remember the part of that story that he, like, disappeared for a little while? Like to hear his head? Yeah, like he went away somewhere, like camping. That's a good deal.

That's a good call. This town, literally where I live now. Really? There's a four by four park. Let me learn that word more purely. There's a four-by-four park here that puts on huge concerts and is known in that world. And he came here to, like, this was his like, oh, no, I've been canceled. Let me go where I can have a safe place to save my drunk while softs.

Yeah, soft while drunk. I mean, it is different, you know, it's hugely different. But, like, I don't know, my thing is like there's so many, it just doesn't, it seems to work for them. We're like, and I honestly think, like, for better or worse, that's why they win elections, because they just decide like we're all in on anybody who's with us. We won't discriminate or whatever. She's defending that lady who called that little boy the N-word. I know.

It's like... What are you doing? It's crazy. This is what happens when you let a black kid stab a white kid. You sit, it's like, all right, well, that's such a strange false equivalency and also that guy's on trial for murder. The kid that's been arrested. But that aside, this is going to make...

Hold on. Go ahead. Getting back to the music thing. I do think on the left people get elevated more quickly. I also hope that if they don't have the talent, it's not like our Kevin Sorbo, whoever that may be, you're going to flame out after a year or two. I do think people get elevated based upon like a cool and interesting identity or backstory.

I do think people get elevated. I mean, McLemore is back in the fucking Zite guys because he is so, pro Palestine or whatever. He can wrap though, man. He's not bad. Yeah, I mean, compared to what? You know what I mean? I don't know. I'm just saying he's, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just saying he's catchy. But by the way, okay, that's actually a perfect example. I'm not going to sit here and prop McLemore up. And I'm not going to, when McClamore puts out something I agree with, just share this and go, what a fucking banger, unless I literally believe it's a banger. Whereas the right, like you said, with the Roseanne Barr thing, they all shared that shit. just because they were like,

fuck yeah, fuck the libs or whatever. Like, I don't, we don't, I'm sure there's some people that do that. There's like what I,

there's like what I call like, you know, party cheerleaders. There's people who are like, I'm a Democrat, therefore everything. Yeah. There's blue maga all over Facebook.

You got it on Facebook maybe. BJ sends me. No, it's on Twitter too. No, it's on Twitter too. And I'm not going to name the people's, it's insane what happened there.

But I hope it's less people percentage-wise, but I don't know. Yeah. I know it is definitely less people percentage wise and I'm not going to name some of the names because tray has unfortunately had to perform with some of them lately digitally but but like it just it disgust me almost the same because like me and my mom were having this talk to you well me and my mom yeah me and my mom were having this talk the day oh no pause pause pause you don't talk shit the same way Brian don't smoke weed which is just like yeah I just can't get caught man because of my job I got a good job I'm like like I'm trying to keep this job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's just that, like, I don't think that these,

I don't think that these people have done anything abhorrent. I just think it's gay. You know what I mean? Like, I just think it's super fucking, it's real gay. And I don't, like Kid Rock happens to be very talented. I liked the ball with the ball album. I think only God knows why is a banger. But they are also acting like-

It's called. They're also acting like he's cool. It's dead. That he's still cool without a car. And then they're, now they're actually. acting like Eminem never could rap. They're like, he was never good. It's like, bro, black people say he's the goat all the time.

Get the fuck out of here. It's crazy. It's crazy to act like Kid Rock's cool. I can't abide that. I can abide you being like, this dude's a multi-instrumentalist. He's talented, and I'm like, I can abide that. I'm not going to sit here and have you tell me that this dude's still cool. He's still acting the way he acted when he was 28, 29, and honestly, he was pushing the envelope then.

I guess what I'm saying is like, there's these people on Twitter and, what you're calling blue mag on Facebook where like they don't sit anything out like even like my thing is when you they don't sit anything out and like um because i told me you know people would be like oh yeah when biden did this you didn't say this i go no i sat that one out because that was unforgiving i thought he did a dumb thing you know whatever or i called it out like but they won't sit it out they'll sit there and just defend defend defend defend and part of this was like when i was making that packet i was talking about earlier. I had a character called Kenny Ray and he was Joe Biden's press secretary. And his entire job was whenever the, he would defend Joe, like when Joe Biden

would do something, they would call it terrible, even though it wasn't that bad of a thing. Kenny Ray would come in and be his press secretary or whatever. I stopped doing that character because I didn't like Joe Biden that much. You know what I mean? And I, and I've said that out loud. I was like, by the way, don't you're wrong. I'm glad that he's there instead of Donald Trump, but I'm not here to be a fucking cheerleader, right? I'm not here to be a fucking cheerleader. But you're a comedian. I think the question is, like, comparing the two groups, both in terms of how insane they are,

and then also, I think this is the most important, percentage or size. And I do feel convinced, like, pretty certainly in my heart that the percentage and or size of people on the right who are doing this thing you're talking about, not sitting out, feels larger to me than the percentage on the left, but maybe that's my own mind or whatever. I don't know. It's just like there's some things to me where like I just look at like the Matt Walsh with this one.

It's like Matt, you literally could just sit this one out. Matt Walsh to get the fuck beat out of him publicly. I agree. I agree. But then I'll see. He's a bad person. Like I agree with you.

But then I'll see some things him or Ben Shapiro will post where I'll go like, well, okay, if you have those values, it makes sense that you would make that argument or whatever. But then I see some things and I'm like, bro just say you're in fucking Florence on vacation like you don't have to comment on everything because like it just made like cheerleading either fucking side is so goddamn weird to me well I don't know I'm reasonably certain that the ones on the left are not even I don't know what they're not even close to as prominent because I don't know who they are I was going to say the dude's on

the right like oh sit it out you don't have to say anything it was proven at one point that those motherfuckers were getting paid like a million dollars a month from literal Russia to to say those things and it's like dude if you're getting paid that amount to say that you can't sit it out no you that's what you do like but also

like I don't think on the left because I'm adjacent to it I really don't think I've said for years I don't know where George Soros is at I've been never got a dollar right now motherfucker because it ain't happening over here but fucking so you know that makes it a little different they they start like Like, they come from the, all the right-wing influencers come from the WWE School,

which is that any heat is good heat and it doesn't matter, you know? And like, dude, even like Triple H, like, they asked him about Trump. And this is what started that WrestleMania controversy. They asked him about Trump. And he goes, hey, man, you got to admit, like, he's a great character, you know. He just, he knows how to draw heat. And it's like, Triple H is so insulated in that world of wrestling that, like, that makes Trump awesome because it's like he knows how to draw heat or whatever.

And like, I mean, I pretty much, I think. America now, though, clout, man. It is. Clout, all that stuff. But, like, I think I can stand here on business and say that, like, if I ever made a video about something, it was because I truly believed in and cared about the shit that I was saying. And I was not just trying to stir the pot.

Now, were there times where I go, this is definitely going to stir the pot? Of course. Absolutely. of course, but I, but I cared about it. Like, it meant something to me. I cared about it. I didn't take some nothing bullshit and like they do and then try to turn it into because all they need is that fucking thumbnail graphic.

Ben Shapiro destroys whatever. Like that grifting bullshit. Like, I, you know, and I'm sure people have accused you of it, Trey. I'm certain that they have. But I know you well enough to know. I know you well enough to know that you were so goddamn lazy that there's no way. you would just take anything and run with it it has to mean something to you you know what i mean no well no you know it don't have to mean something to me but here's what i care about that

literally no one else does uh that that that keeps up a mirror whatever that i do still think like i see those same people too that never sit anything out and i don't ever i don't i never you know i'm i make a video about a thing and it has jokes in it because i'm a commitment right and it is important to me I'm look I'm not saying they're all going to be funny I'm not saying they're going to be great or whatever I've tried to make one a week definitely some of them are going to be flops and some of them are going to be funnier than others

but there are jokes in them every time because that is what I do I'm a comedian and I got known for fucking talking about politics so I still do and but I'm not a political commentator or political influence

or whatever. These people that were talking about that they just, they just have to, they don't make jokes. They just, they just say, oh, this is,

this is bad. This is bad. Like, I don't ever do any of that. And that's why I'm like, well, that's the part that matters to me, not the,

for the record. Yes, obviously, if I say it in a video, I do, I'm never going to say anything that it's not my actual opinion. I'm just saying, I turned down money because I was like,

I don't believe that. But like, but the, the important part for me that I'm like, Like it's funny. It's like it separates me from those people or that I want it to. Yes, you make stuff. Is that I write jokes and I'm a comedian primarily.

I do it on stage, whatever. That's how I sell tickets and those things that I use as a vehicle for selling tickets or even the cooking. Anything I ever do is at least an attempt for it to be funny. You may not think it's funny. Of course. But I've made an attempt to make it funny. Drew does the same thing. And that's what is different for me than these like sort of just politics influencer types or whatever.

politics influencers type they literally will have you have to subscribe to their twitter so that you can then click on a paid post that says chito musilini did some chito musilini things today and everybody would be like oh my god i hate the orange man and they're like reusing and then if you know what it is it offends me as a comedian to hear coffefe eight years later it offends me as a comedian well you have to work through that some of them are i don't want to though i think some of them are more kind of I guess sort of journalistic or whatever that same a little bit. No, they're not, though. They ain't good journalists. I'm saying that I think there's at least a couple that exists. But Ken Kapplesting or whatever? He's really good. I like him.

That's what I'm saying. I think there's some guys that also get lumped in there. Do you say Ken? It's Ken. It's Ken's Klippenstein. I happen to think he's like one of the three best journalists alive. It's just so funny. You're like, now that guy's all right.

It was just very funny. No, no. But I'm saying like, look, man, but I'm like, LeBron can play ball. No, no, no, but all I know, but all I know him. from, though, is Twitter, though. Do you know what I mean? All I know him from, though, is Twitter. However, every single tweet that he makes is never, he never lets his emotions get into it.

He gives you the facts like, this is this, this will happen, whatever. That's the unsolvable problem that we're living through. I'm glad he's successful. I don't know if this is anyone's fault or even any entity's fault, but it's just the reality, and there doesn't seem to be a solution. Ken Clippenstein, Clippenstein, is one of the best journalists we have in this country, but you know him from Twitter. Now, he happens to be great at both.

That goes back to the Triple H Donald Trump thing. That's on me. That's on me, dude. No, it's no, it's, I mean, maybe, but like, it's on, it's how it is now. Well, that's how you get the news. It's how it is. The most famous chefs, I know, all have TV shows for their, like, popular, you know what I'm saying? Like, I can think. But, dude, and that's why, so, that's why when someone, when, when I try to tell someone,

it is cataclysmically horrific that Elon Musk runs Twitter and is also the second man in charge at the White House. They're like, why would that be a problem? I'm like, I don't know. Maybe because, like I just said, I only know Ken Clevenstein from Twitter. All Elon has to do is put some thing in there to where his shit don't get showed up. And like Twitter is a place where like, regardless of whether you think this is intellectually stupid, like, you know, I don't, I'm not saying I just get my news from reading posts on Twitter. Like, that's where the articles will get shared that I'll see. Like, that's where, you know, that's just, it's just a place to go, you know.

And so, but Ken does a really good job. And, like, I'm not, what I meant to say was, like, I would never consider him one of the cheerleaders because I've also seen Ken take fucking, and I know you have too. I've seen Ken take huge hits when he was like, the Democratic Party did something that was stupid and I'm going to fucking say it. And I'm just like, fuck yeah, Ken, you know, and then I'd share that. And then I'd lose 100,000 followers. and I'm like, all right, guys, I'm sorry, but like, we're not here to be cheerleaders. You know, we're here to fucking, like, this country is in disarray. And if we think that our party is culpable in some of that problem, there's no sense in sitting here with a smile on our face acting like Joe Biden didn't just mumble these words.

You know what I mean? I do know what you mean. I want to say two things really quickly. One, on that note, I don't think Joe Biden, now that I have a baby, I don't think Joe Biden, and stiffing them kids' hair was a sexual thing. It was weird and you shouldn't done it. I think he was just a crazy old man who was like, God damn, kids smell good. Dude, Pat Pauls love babies.

Two breaking news here, shoeless Joe Jackson, and Pete Rose are now eligible for the Hall of Fame as the band had been lifted. Speaking of institutions, who need to rectify their mistakes that may have been done with good intentions. They got to put Barry Bonds in, too. That's tougher because what he did. It was drugs? Well, what he did made him

impacted the product on the field. Yes, but, okay, but Pete Rose could also have done that in the other direction, though. Yes. You know what I mean? That's kind of the argument. Isn't he only bet on his own? Isn't it proven that he only bet on his phone?

I don't know if it was proven. I know that that's what he always said. But that's the argument is like, you know, that's the reason. Because if you bet me a shame, you want to know my argument? I think you should be eligible for the record. I think he should be. Do you want to know my argument?

No. Yes. Okay. If Barry Bonds never hit a single. home run, he still won nine gold gloves. He also, if those weren't home runs, they might have been base hits, you know, like a lot of people point that out. Right, right.

You still have to hit the baseball. You still have to hit the baseball. Yeah. And yes, did steroids turn some line drives into home runs? Sure. But here's the deal. Barry Bond actually, because of his prowess on offense, he gets looked over on being perhaps one of the best defensive players of all time.

he had nine gold gloves which has nothing to do with his fucking bat. And also I would like to say that the system is bullshit. Two seconds. The system is bullshit anyways because Tony Gwynn just got elected into the Hall of Fame and it wasn't unanimous. 13 people decided that Tony Gwynn didn't deserve in the Hall of Fame and those motherfuckers should never be able to vote a fucking game. Ever, ever.

They just do that in baseball. They're petty bitches like that. It's like a traditional thing with them. No one's almost no one's ever used. unanimous because they got to make some little bitchy point or whatever. You want to hear a stat? You want to hear a stat that gets you into the Hall of Fame or gross to anything? Tony Gwynn faced John Smoltz, Greg Maddox, and Tom Glevin over 300 times.

He struck out three times against those three dudes. It was all right. All of those fucking times. That's all fame. I don't give a fuck about anything. It was Maddox all three times. I just, as a Braves homer. It was.

It was Maddox all three times. It was Maddox all three times. By the way, Maddox is the best pitcher of all of those guys. Yeah. Without question, Maddox is the best pitcher of all those guys. And they were all like we couldn't, Tony Gwynn, like he just couldn't hit. But Barry Bonds, before when he was with the pirates, before he took steroids, he was still a guy that they tried to walk because he could make contact with the baseball.

And also, again, his defensive stats alone are enough for the Hall of Fame. Just like how it's like if Wayne Gretzcrid never scored a goal, he's still the leading point score. I just want to say, though, I do think we should point out if we're going to do this, and I'm sure our fans don't give a fuck. But I just think defensive prowess at that level. I'm not comparing myself here, but like, I think most college players were almost as good on defense as Barry Bonds. Right.

The ball was hit there. There's a limited, you know, like other than shortstop or a hot corner. The ball was hit there. You got to go. But then you look at guys like Bo, Jackson man who were like who were like catching what should have been an opposite field home run and then turn around on one foot and throwing it to third base and throwing a guy out well Barry Bonds was doing that shit too you don't what I mean it's not just that he's

been shown that it's not that it's just catching like he was like I'm just saying well that also could be steroids I'm with I mean it is maybe it is maybe I'm not saying all the all the guys that didn't take steroids all the guys who didn't take steroids all the guys who didn't When they are asked about Barry Bonds, they go, greatest baseball player I've ever played against. And they never once give the asterisk of, but he wouldn't have been if it wasn't for the steroid. They were just like. Even people who played against Jr.? Against Griffey Jr.?

Dude, King Gifford Jr. don't hold a candle to Barry Bond. Because of the injuries. Also, he don't. Is it no? He's credited as having been clean, right? Isn't he? He's clean. You can tell he's going.

So isn't that a big part of the argument? Is it like King Griffey Jr.? while being clean that, you know, if the playing field was level, that he's just a better pure player or whatever, because he wasn't juiced up and shit. Every single, every single of the whoever you think is the greatest player of the 90s in 2000s or whatever, if you ask them who the greatest baseball player of all time is,

they will say Barry Bonds without question. My dad will say it, and he's a purist. There's no one, the greatest hitter, like just base hitter is Tony Gwynn, but that's just because of stats. I mean, you can't argue with that. like Tony Gwynn got hits. Do you know who, what Barry Bonds was taken? Seattle.

HG.H. It was Seattle. It was what? C-Alas from Hems.com. Nice. Oh, right. Oh, right. Oh, no, we'll see good and that'll make you be a great baseball player.

But here's the thing, guys. Even your strength. I got to go. Yeah. But even we do need to wrap it up. But even your strength doesn't matter too much. Just like in golf, like if you're the strongest guy, you still got to hit. that ball in a fucking fairway you know what i mean like all right so um all right well tray pitch your

I have a new podcast that will be going out to the public once the season is done, but that will take a couple weeks. It's called Public Domain Sleepy Time Theater, where I read you a bedtime story to get you to sleep. And this season is Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer. I have, I'm not kidding, aside from my granny, the part I wrote in the Liberal Redneck Manifesto, which you can still get wherever you get your books.

The part that I wrote about my Granny Bain, I've never gotten so many messages from people saying, thank you so much. I have trouble sleeping. And not only does this help me fall asleep, but then the next day during work, I listen to it again because I want to hear the story of Tom Sawyer. And that is exactly what I meant to do.

We Love Corey.com reading Tom Sawyer. Next, we'll be reading Huckleberry Finn. And after that, probably the picture of Dorian Gray, or actually I've told Trey I'm going to get him involved in it. We might do a Shakespeare play if he's cool with that. He has to say yes now because he's in front of me. Yeah, you ask him me, well, you know, I can do some pickups for you or something. Yeah, yeah.

I'll talk to your people. Okay. Have your people talk to my people, all that stuff. Either way, we're doing a lot of cool things. And if I may, thank you all for listening to the Well Red Show. We love to stick around longer, but we got to go. Tune the next week If you got a little
