Years ago my wife’s best friend told me about a podcast with some country comedians talking about Dolly and Dixie Stampede. From that point on I listened to every episode multiple times of that show and all the spinoffs, saw the boys at Zanies, got their specials on Amazon, read their first book,and even pestered Corey directly on Twitter before they ruined it. Even my wife who isn’t as big a fan painted a picture of his house as a gift haha. And in all that time I never imagined one of my favorite parts would be him crying like a baby.

Just kidding Corey. Glad to be part of the ride!

Corey, I tell everyone I know that you are one of the best things that came out of the pandemic. Thank you for inviting us on your new journey. It’s always an adventure. But seriously, I love your comedy, your timing, humility, your stories & your dreams. I’m old enough to be your mom & I spent my first career for nearly 20 years as a high school American history teacher. I’m proud of who you are because you’re an excellent role model for young men. You’re a good man that works hard, is loyal to your people, loves God, & cares about those that are hurting, struggling or just plain worn out. I’ve said this before, you excel at coping. I know not all the time, but when you’re up against a bit of adversity you share it with everyone & you talk about things you do to get through it. There are people out there that are my age that rely on beer as their only coping mechanism. You talking about it will get others to reflect on how they handle things & hopefully they will pull together a plan for when things aren’t so great. Everybody should have a friend they can call when things blow up. That’s a good one to start with. One of the things I really rely on is simple...when I’m struggling with someone, I will turn off the phone & go take a nap. When I wake up, I’m rested, can think more clearly & start to put a plan together to make things better.

Finally, Corey, you are a blessing. You’re a breath of fresh air. You’re sensible, kind & courageous. I’m happy for all the things you have going on & that you share it with all of us. Keep preachin’ Corey! There’s so many people that need to hear your thoughts. It’s fascinating, optimistic & hopeful.👍💙

I love to see you tackling parenthood full on, AND ACTUALLY ENJOYING IT! Too many of us moms didn't get that from our kids' dads. Amber is one fortunate (dare I say, blessed?) woman.

I really need to subscribe to Trae's Patreon. The amount of enjoyment I get out of you two is well worth the monthly cost. I've listened to the POA Fat Jockey segment no less than 8 times and have absolutely lost. my. shit. every time Trae gets to WHY the driver contested the race results. I finally played it for my husband and he had the same reaction. Dopamine floods the brain, lungs get extra oxygen, and the abs get a mini workout. 🤣💖

Your and Trae's work pays the taxes that help me and other disabled vets, and it brings me such joy to pay it back as well as forward. Cripes! I give Netflix $16 a month and don't even remember the last time I logged on. We watched Wednesday shortly after it came out, so a couple months at least. 😬

Will there come a day when you no longer hit for me? It's possible. I hope not. There've been a few times where I've grimaced or rolled my eyes a bit, but I haven't gotten the feeling anything was meant to be racist, misogynistic, or meanspirited. I see how you're trying to improve yourself and I'm not willing to write you off for something said on the spur of the moment on a comedic podcast. Hell, if everything I ever said just in my dumb 20s before I'd lived anywhere much but lily-white rural Wisconsin? Oh, boy. Yikes! I need to give my husband that same leeway, but he's got an advanced degree in clinical psychology; I feel like he should already know better. LOL

Aaaaanyway, enjoy these early days and months with your little man. I'd like to think if you chose your touring career over spending this time with him that you'd regret it later in life. From a distance, fatherhood looks to agree with you immensely; tis but a detour in your stand-up career path. I wish I'd been able to make the Appleton, WI Skyline Comedy Club show a couple years ago, but my I-don't-want-to-maybe-get-COVID anxiety got the better of me, plus I didn't want to go alone. Maybe in the future.

Love the new setup with WellRed and, man, just having someone where I'm from that's done so well makes me really happy. It took me a long time to switch from red to blue but I'm true blue now. Which episode are you on Stugodity?

That was a beautiful heartfelt "rant"! I'm going to go pre-order your book now!

I don’t say much around here, but I just wanted to let you know that I’m so proud to support you and so thankful that you’ve been a part of the soundtrack of my life since 2017. Sending so much love to you, Corey 💙

Ok, here’s the deal. I don’t support or even engage with online people except you and Trae. (I read but rarely comment and don’t feel any loyalty to other folks online really) You guys have a “real person” vibe that comes through that’s just different than an awful lot of people out there.

Corey, you touch my heart with so many of your posts, just by being honest and real with us. I’m not here because you’re famous. I’m here because it feels like you’ve become a friend in many ways. Sorry if that’s too mushy and weird but I’m just being honest in return. I might get busy and miss a post now and then but I’m not going anywhere. Your comedy is awesome but your heart is special. It shines so bright when you talk about being a husband and a dad and also your personal struggles. Again, it just touches my heart how you’re taking us with you on your journey. Thank you for all you share with us! Much 💜

Keep fighting the good fight brother! If you ever get out to the Middle East (I feel like Netflix should read your book and offer you and Trae an 8-episode travel show tbh) y'all come to Dubai or Abu Dhabi and we'll paint the town (well)Red!
