Together with hosts Matt and Shane, they blast through stories of blue-collar grit, misadventures scraping by, near-death experiences, hoarder houses, scam hustle, and the absurdities of modern American life.

  “It’s like going bass fishing in a porta potty out there, brother!” (00:39, Corey)

• Scrap Yard Hustles:
  Corey describes scrapping metal for drugs, getting weighed on industrial scales, and being undervalued (“tweaker price”) at scrapyards.

  “They rip you. They just crush.” (06:00, Matt on scrap sales)

---

Blue Collar Contracting: The Monkey Paw Wish

• Corey’s Job: He’s a contractor specializing in houses “filled with shit, diapers, and dead things.”

  “You get to be a contractor, but every house you go into is filled with shit and diapers and dead things… how about that for a pandemic job?” (10:03, Corey)

• Breaking In Like a Burglar:

  • Jobs often begin with breaking and entering, sometimes armed just in case.

  "What I do looks a lot like crime, which is great because that’s what I used to do." (13:18, Corey)

• Finding Corpses on the Job:

  “Maybe has been a lady laying face down in the kitchen for 11 months—you might not know right away.” (13:49, Corey)

• Corey’s Near-Fatal Accident:
  Long, detailed retelling of being hit by a car as a 13-year-old 315 lb kid on a stolen mountain bike.

  “Dodge Shadow 93 ES trim… 45 miles an hour in a 25, cousin. I was 315 pounds at 13 years old.”
  “Leg wrapped around her A-pillar like a slap bracelet. Pinned and plated it all back together.”
  (38:03–45:17, Corey)

  • Gory details, including hospital catheter horror stories (“like starting a goddamn lawnmower,” (44:14, Corey)) and living with arthritis ever since.

  • “My favorite hobby is driving cars slammed to the ground... It's literally a skateboard.” (45:18–46:22, Corey)

---

American Underworlds: Scrapping, Plumbers, Desk Job Despair

• Blue-collar subsistence living: tales of scraping by as the underclass—scrapping, working in demolition, odd jobs.

• Plumbers and Trashhouses:
  Stories of disgusting cleanups, blocked pipes (“fire hydrant of peanuts”) and “landlocked” hoarders who literally can’t fit through the door.

• Pandemic Life Reboot:

  • Laid off, wife leaves, and suddenly freed from everything:

    “I got home… made dinner for my wife, and she got home and divorced me. The next day, I wake up and I'm like, okay, I have a whole new lease on life, and I'm out of wife.” (58:20, Corey)

---

Social Class Codes, Homeless Encounters, and ‘In-Between’ Living

• Corey on navigating both ‘upper’ and ‘homeless’ spaces:

  “In Austin, I am the dead center between the homeless and the upper... They cross the street [from me]. If a homeless man looks me in the eye, they ask for money. So I could be either one.” (23:10–23:28, Corey)

• Surviving the pandemic & finding new purpose:
  Corey stumbles into social media fame after the world falls apart and discovers he’s “an outside cat after all.”

---

American Identity & Native American Musings

• Debate on Native American Presidencies:

  • Satirically discussing why the U.S. has never had a Native American president, and why, after centuries of L’s (losses), maybe it should.

    “If you’ve taken every L possible, you’ve learned every way to not do that again. That’s how I got where I am today.” (37:39, Corey)

• Naming conventions:

  “I wish...we could have culturally appropriated from the Native Americans...the naming system...I want to be Running Dog.” (34:13, Corey)

---

Content Creation & Virality

• AI Sad Story Factories:
  Riffing on influencers using AI to pump out viral, tearjerker video content for passive income.

  “He just gets ChatGPT: ‘Write a very sad fucked up story’…then lets AI make the video and he just spams them online and he’s rich.” (30:13, Matt)

• Social Media Accidents:

  “My Instagram handle is HiderCorey... Instagram was an accident bro. I put it in there and it like, opened Instagram and started Instagram automatically from Facebook.” (63:14–63:41, Corey)

• Success out of nowhere:

  "That's crazy. It's awesome." (64:44, Matt on Corey's 130 million view month)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Corey on not settling in life or love:

  “So ladies out there, don’t settle. That’s true. Don’t settle.” (00:29)

• On desk job existential dread:

  “Every six months I’m like, man, what do you think dying’s like? Has to be better than this, right?” (58:10, Corey)

• Near-death gory detail:

  “I look down and it just looks like my shoe’s off, but …my calf is just on the ground. And my brain says, shut it down...Something’s wrong.” (43:16, Corey)

• On blue-collar self-doubt:

  “It’s really hard for me to place a bet on myself…bro, you’re last place, just make do with it.” (65:11, Corey)

• On tragedy & comedy:

  “If I had a nickel for every time I got molested, I’d have one nickel. I never talk about it.” (15:55, Corey)

[Nate]

Wild, Wild west.

[Corey Hyder]

And Corey Hyder.

[Matt McCusker]

What's going on, dude? What the hell's happening? But I was just saying what a joyous occasion it was to meet up. You were telling us about the people of.

[Corey Hyder]

Where was that? Pittsburgh?

[Matt McCusker]

No, the.

[Nate]

The tribes.

[Matt McCusker]

The tribe.

[Corey Hyder]

The Incas and Aztecs. Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Oh, yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

We was talking about Tenoctitlan just a moment ago.

[Matt McCusker]

Two knocks along.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. And I just like that. Yeah, it's a great.

[Matt McCusker]

Finally settled on.

[Corey Hyder]

On straight willpower. They waited. They didn't settle. You know what I mean? So ladies out there don't settle. That's true. Don't settle.

[Matt McCusker]

True. What do you think of the modern dating market right now?

[Corey Hyder]

Oh, man. Well, I'm glad to be out of it, so. I am, brother, because it is. It's like going bass fishing in a porta potty out there, brother. It is.

[Nate]

I can't tell if that means it's super easy.

[Corey Hyder]

Oh, no.

[Matt McCusker]

You do not want to catch bass. Porta Potty, dude.

[Corey Hyder]

No bueno. No bueno.

[Matt McCusker]

No, dude, hold on to Nate's point. It is easy.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

You might be. You might be knocking turds around, but the next point you're going to catch.

[Corey Hyder]

It's easy. Yeah. Nothing I'd want to eat, though. Nothing I'd want to eat.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, Yeah. I. Yeah, I. I peed in a porta potty like, two days ago. I don't know if this was on purpose, but somebody clogged up the urinal in the porta potty with toilet paper. It looked like it like a. And somebody did it intentionally. And it's like, why create a Hell, yeah. Why would you want to disable the P option?

[Corey Hyder]

You're gonna hurt the only guy trying to help you.

[Matt McCusker]

It was really weird. I was like, I have a theory

[Nate]

about homeless people, that they thrive in up conditions. Like, they want it as bad as possible.

[Matt McCusker]

And then when the porta potty. Now they see a porta potty, and they're like, not nasty.

[Nate]

Not nasty enough. Clog it with paper towel or toilet paper. Piss on it.

[Corey Hyder]

Make it reek some money. Some men want money. Some want power. Some just want to watch the world burn.

[Matt McCusker]

What's. What's the nastiest porta potty? You think you've.

[Corey Hyder]

Dude, I've seen one that breached.

[Matt McCusker]

No breach water.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, no, not breach water.

[Matt McCusker]

You're talking about the port above sea level.

[Corey Hyder]

Because she was. You couldn't sit on it. You would have been penetrated by everything. I don't know how the last person done it. They must have had a stem ladder.

[Matt McCusker]

That would have truly been Montezuma survey.

[Corey Hyder]

Oh my God.

[Matt McCusker]

There was a fucking mountain.

[Corey Hyder]

No dude, I'm telling you I believe

[Matt McCusker]

you, but I'm telling you I didn't think that was.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. What here. Okay, so here's the dynamic of it. The last 2, 3p or last. Serious game changing. Last person. Because they. They would have done the last four or five pounds, bro.

[Nate]

Right.

[Corey Hyder]

They had to put the keystone on the. You know that was the peak that dude that had. It had to have been an agent. Really. You know, I mean get down on a squat. The Japanese squad.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Where they had him in facing the outboard wall, not the door.

[Matt McCusker]

That'd be funny too if it was just a single. It was just a M.O. of diarrhea. But then a single solid turd just floating like iceberg.

[Corey Hyder]

You just.

[Matt McCusker]

A guy's been eating broccoli and rice and chicken. It's just a 12incher turd.

[Corey Hyder]

Usually goes the other way. I get the plug and then the break. Because on keto, you know what I mean? You get that cheese plug cuz back for two days. Or you get one that U turn sometimes you see it. Oh, you did a full U. That's what's been happening. That tried to go back on a oneway. You can't be. That's it.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, it does suck when you get it. You like when you poop and it's the shape of your intestines and you're like oh yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

That was good. That's good.

[Matt McCusker]

That is good.

[Corey Hyder]

You clean that out.

[Matt McCusker]

You like.

[Corey Hyder]

I'm good for at least, you know, 18 inches in there.

[Matt McCusker]

You're ready. How's the. So how is the keto going? How long you been on keto?

[Corey Hyder]

Oh dude. On and off. So I started. Started. Seriously, dude. I was like £385. I was like I gotta either die from this or figure something out.

[Matt McCusker]

True.

[Corey Hyder]

I was like I could eat solids, go to the gym every day. And I was like no, that sounds like some. Right? I can't. I can't. Dude. I went to the gym one time. I was like, I'm sweat. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna go home and figure it out. And then I saw an Internet article that said if you eat hot dogs wrapped in cheese until you feel like you're gonna have a heart attack. Like run that six, seven months, cuz. Right? Six, seven months. Just run it, dude. And that's what I did.

[Matt McCusker]

Everybody lost weight, brother.

[Corey Hyder]

I would. There would be times where I walk past the mirror, I'd be like, who the. Oh my God.

[Nate]

How much you say your peak sagging?

[Corey Hyder]

Dude, my peak was 385. So.

[Matt McCusker]

Watching fours.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, dude. Touching fours. That's what bro. And this is like I used to watch Robin Big back in the day and Big was so big like you probably don't notice, you probably never knew this. A home scale typically only goes to 330 pounds. You're like, if you're bigger than that, go to the hospital. Does it say Error Walmart? Yeah, it just zero. It's just like, yeah, Error. Error on electric ones or the other ones? I love them ones because at least you could still tell. You're like 3:30 plus. Okay.

[Matt McCusker]

I should, you know, so it would just be like, no.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. So back in the day, right, me and my boy was scrapping metal for drugs. Just like any good hard working American, right? And we was at the scrapyard, right, and there was this guy that looked like the dude that lived in the pit in Water World. That's the only way I can describe him. He had never seen the sun, bro. And he just lived in scrap. He died by scrap, bro. He didn't leave his, his scrap shed.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

And I went in there and he had the scale and I was like, how high did that go? He's like 25, 3500 pound. I was like, can I stand on it? You mind if I stand on it real quick? He's like 385. He's like, God damn, boy. I was like, yeah, that's. That ain't good, is it? And I was like, how am I just trying to like divert. I was like, how much you get for. For scrapping somebody like that? He's like, after you boil man down to the bare minerals, they only worry about 12, 11 cents. That's either the first joke this guy has ever told or we should get the out of here. Okay. Pretty, pretty quick.

[Matt McCusker]

What were you scrapping that day?

[Corey Hyder]

I'm gonna say stainless steel, dude. It was a stainless steel hospital cabinet, Wade. About £400, almost. Same as me.

[Matt McCusker]

And it's not a bad haul.

[Corey Hyder]

Oh, dude.

[Nate]

How much make for a haul like that?

[Corey Hyder]

Oh, dude, we made like four or five perk 30s.

[Matt McCusker]

They really do. They do cut the. If they think you're on drugs, you don't get the real scrap press.

[Corey Hyder]

I know, dude, it's like a bartering system. I know I stole it.

[Matt McCusker]

But you're. I've seen it in action. I've seen like 2D, like tweakers come up in like a shopping cart full of wire. Dude. They're like $30. I'm looking at it like that looks like a little more than that. You get like a tweaker price. They rip you. They just crush.

[Nate]

They know you're just like. Yeah, right off the.

[Matt McCusker]

They know you'll say yes to anything.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. So.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, it's really funny.

[Corey Hyder]

Burnt.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

You got your burnt wire, dude.

[Matt McCusker]

The scrap game, especially on any job site, it's. There's more problems on a job site due to the scrap and how it's getting like. You know who gets it? It's people. Are people like sneaking it, stealing it?

[Corey Hyder]

It's.

[Matt McCusker]

I've. It's just like a never ending drama.

[Corey Hyder]

It's insane. Yeah. That's like literally 20, 25 of my job is calling the cops because someone stole the copper pipes.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

And now we got to replumb the whole house.

[Sponsor/Host Voice]

Yeah, dude.

[Corey Hyder]

It's just wild. Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

People go through your house, like your entire house and just, just.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, dude. It's like trying to keep apples away from raccoons. You ever do that? No, bro.

[Matt McCusker]

They'll luck, bro.

[Corey Hyder]

They'll break through your house vents. They will sneak through your events like Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible. They will scale down. They will unlock your door, let in their honeys.

[Nate]

I had one try to break it. I think I told you before. I had a raccoon try to break into the CR crib. I just had his little. This is back when I was living in Jersey. Just a paw reaching through like where my. My air conditioner like was like closed it just so. It's a little ball. I just grabbed my hatchet. I was about to hatchet his paw off.

[Matt McCusker]

You're gonna cut his hand off?

[Corey Hyder]

I didn't

[Matt McCusker]

cut the thief's hand off.

[Corey Hyder]

Hold it. Just Persian rules real quick.

[Matt McCusker]

You should have shook his hand. My neighbor had pet raccoons. Had a pet raccoon, pet raccoons. And he fed it Urkel cereal.

[Corey Hyder]

Did he do that?

[Matt McCusker]

That feels up, dude. I remember going up there. I remember being like, damn, I've never had Urkel cereal. I want Urkel cereal so bad. This raccoons are getting.

[Nate]

Eat it right out the box.

[Matt McCusker]

You just throw it in there.

[Nate]

Okay.

[Corey Hyder]

I thought you would get down in there with it. It looks good.

[Matt McCusker]

They were cool. They were actually. Raccoons are cool.

[Nate]

They're cool ass animals. But they're just. I don't know.

[Matt McCusker]

They're just dirty bear family technically.

[Corey Hyder]

Okay.

[Matt McCusker]

Your thing.

[Corey Hyder]

Okay. Okay. So I'm a contractor by trade, right? But all the houses. See, this is the hook, right? It's like one of them magic Paul. Monkey Paul. Genie wishes. Yeah, right. Like you get to be a contractor, but every house you go into is filled with and diapers and dead things. You like that? You're looking for work. How about that, huh? How about for a pandemic job?

[Matt McCusker]

It's better than being, like, the Home Depot installer guy. They're. I think they're like, absolute underworld of contractors. The guy who puts in, like, a door, a screen door from Home Depot is like, like, dude, Nate, you could sign up today and just be that guy and be the guy I would like to be. And then when you get there, you go, oh, I got to go up two flights of steps. That's an additional $37. Bring this, the upstairs man.

[Nate]

I'll give you a tip screen.

[Matt McCusker]

Stop charging me extra. He's like, do you want the really long nail that, like, sets it in, like, deeply? I'm like, that'd be nice. Like, that's an additional $59. Like, dude, what the fuck?

[Corey Hyder]

Nickel and diamond you, bro.

[Matt McCusker]

Home Depot contractors come out, and it's. It's the old dog and pony show. It's like they get. They're. They're like a fudgeing Vegas escort. They're like. They show up. It's like, I thought it was 300 bucks. Like, well, that's. To get here.

[Nate]

That's just.

[Matt McCusker]

Now it's going to be a couple. Yeah, they're fucking bullshit.

[Corey Hyder]

Big dog, you need to get your own contractor.

[Matt McCusker]

That would be tight, dude.

[Corey Hyder]

What do you. Oh, what's stopping you? Do it.

[Matt McCusker]

Lack of knowledge. Lack of technical knowledge.

[Corey Hyder]

Grab one. Grab one. Grab. Just grab a dirty. Just a dirty, thick man somewhere out. You know what I mean? Stay dirty, thick man out in the street somewhere. You know what I mean? You'd be like, what are you up to, huh? You want to be on my retainer? You want to be on retainer? My.

[Matt McCusker]

I used to paint houses with my friend Spud, and he was. He, like, trained me. I can, Like, I can actually. House paint is one thing I can do. But he was all mechanic. He was all technical. So I would do a lot of, like, talking to the people for him. So I. I know how. I know enough. And he would laugh because I. I know enough. I'm good with, like, lingo, so I can, like, and really make it seem like I know what I'm talking about. So I would. You know, he'd get a kick out of me. I'd walk around with customers like, oh, yeah, okay. I, like, talk. Talk and turn him like, dude, what the. Are we.

[Nate]

How do you do?

[Matt McCusker]

So, yeah, I could be. I could be the guy with the iPad and, like, the clean, tucked in polo that shows up being like, yeah, all right, let me. I'm gonna have one of my guys come out.

[Corey Hyder]

You would Literally be the Home Depot installer. It all comes full circle, man. Yeah. That's 500.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, 500 mark.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. No idea. So you.

[Matt McCusker]

You made the Monkey Paw genie wish. You got your wish to be a contractor, but you.

[Sponsor/Host Voice]

It's.

[Matt McCusker]

It's like the underworld of, like, just up houses.

[Corey Hyder]

Terrible.

[Matt McCusker]

He was recording it, dude. It's.

[Corey Hyder]

I got so used to it, though. It's crazy what you can get used to. Yeah, that's what I mean, bro. That's why I see my. My buddy's granddad who was in norm. I seen the way he looks at fire, and I'm like, how do you get used to that? You know what I mean? He just looks at it like he's seen piles of bodies burn. You know what I mean?

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

And now I'm just saying. And now I go. It's a wild look to see on a man's eye. We just stared at a flame like you. Anyone you want to move? This is wild.

[Matt McCusker]

So you walk into the houses and you just. You're ready.

[Corey Hyder]

You go in glazed over completely.

[Matt McCusker]

What's the worst thing. What's the worst thing you've seen? I think you may have showed.

[Corey Hyder]

I may have showed you, and we may not be able to talk about. Can we. Can we talk? What's the rules?

[Matt McCusker]

I don't talk about anything. I think you just can't show it.

[Corey Hyder]

Okay, so there's this one time that you know when you go in the house, and first off, ground rules, you break into the house.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, Right.

[Corey Hyder]

So what I do looks a lot like crime, which is great because that's what I used to do to my alley. Right? So we break in the second floor window, right? Because it was unlocked. You go up, screw up the ladder, through the roof. Okay. You go in the house, they all stink.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, right.

[Corey Hyder]

Because what do they fill with? You don't know. Is there. Is there a rat king in here? We don't know. We don't know, dude. We're not familiar. So you go in through whatever bedroom you just came through, right? And he's like, with the bank.

[Nate]

Are you like, straight through a window?

[Corey Hyder]

Something straight through the window?

[Matt McCusker]

Because there could be people in there, too. That's the scary part.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. With the bang, I got a gun, got brass knuckles, you know? I mean, all that just walking through, tough as kicking, dirty sweaters, not afraid to go back to jail, you know what I mean? Absolutely. And the whole house stinks, right? So. Because the fridge has been unplugged for Christ knows. You know what I mean, so the whole thing's just from ground levels. It's no bueno. So when you go in there and there maybe has been a lady laying face down in the kitchen for 11 months, you might not know right away. You might not know right away. They don't tell you that. You know what I mean? That's not on the paperwork usually. So. Yeah.

[Nate]

So what do you do when you find that? Like, what's the.

[Corey Hyder]

Kick it.

[Matt McCusker]

No, you have to.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, dude, I ain't. Not on my watch, buddy. No, no, no. You give it the double tap real quick.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

You know what I mean? I got boots on. Ain't no big deal with the play dead trick.

[Nate]

Stab me in the neck.

[Corey Hyder]

You measure twice and cut once.

[Matt McCusker]

So that's. Yeah, you got to give the time.

[Corey Hyder]

You got to make sure you don't turn your back on a corpse. No, I've learned that from every movie and I'm not fast. If you're already on the ground, it's the only shot I got to winning this.

[Matt McCusker]

You want a zombie, dude?

[Corey Hyder]

Curb stomp out. Cuz

[Matt McCusker]

you've stumbled across the dead rip sometimes.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Like, what did you really feel the first time? That's even at a funeral. I'm kind of jarred at the viewers.

[Corey Hyder]

I didn't care.

[Matt McCusker]

I forgot you're glazed over.

[Corey Hyder]

I mean, I See. I had a real up childhood that we're not allowed to talk about ever. I know I promised everyone I wouldn't. I would never say it, but. So compartmentalization is like. Boy, she's on point, bro. If it wasn't, I'd be in therapy right now. Yeah. I mean, I'd be up on the street somewhere.

[Matt McCusker]

This became fun, basically.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. I was like, you got two, two choices here, bro. You can either get real up or you can become the life of the party. Okay. What are we gonna do? Got two avenues, cousin. Okay. Let's never talk about any of this again. That's why I always say if I. If I had a nickel for every time I got molested, I have one nickel. I never talk about

[Matt McCusker]

one.

[Corey Hyder]

Say, wait, what was the question?

[Matt McCusker]

You just talk about. Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Countenance locked in. Ain't nothing going to break my stride. Ain't nothing going to hold me down.

[Matt McCusker]

Absolutely not. Absolutely not.

[Corey Hyder]

So, okay, dead grandma. That's okay. We still got other jobs to do. Okay? So hold on. Let me call somebody. Which is nine, one one. No, that's not an emergency. Let me find.

[Matt McCusker]

Hold on.

[Corey Hyder]

Let me find the local number real quick. Yeah, yeah. I need an old priest and a young priest and maybe a F250 super duty with a morgue slab in the back maybe. Okay, you call the guy who collects deer. Did I ever tell you about the guy who collects deer?

[Matt McCusker]

No, brother.

[Corey Hyder]

We should get his Instagram, but I don't think he can work a phone. He got them thumbs. But anyway, so this guy, right? Don't even worry about it. If you gotta ask, you can't afford it. So anyway, okay, okay. So I'm driving down the street, right? And I see this guy. Cut off Dale Earnhardt shirt, right? Hat on, glasses on, the hat not even on his eyes, right marble hanging out of his mouth, real loose. Real hope is the only thing holding that thing in his mouth Open his dry ass lips from being in the sun and chucking deer all day. So he's got. Okay, so he's got a 1999 Chevy Silverado 5 3, great motor. And he all rusted out, right? Bed falling off the thing.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Already stacked with deer ranging from that still looks good to jerky cousin. Straight jerky. That boy had been bleeding out for weeks. And he is on the side of the road, cigarette hanging out, bare hands. I can't bend now because there's a mic. He grabs his and just heaps it on the pile and gets no gloves, short cut off. Yeah, brother, the same shirt, no shower. Oh. I'm like, this guy be stacking corpses dirty. So that goes back to the point you can get used to a lot of for money.

[Matt McCusker]

Where'd you encounter this guy?

[Corey Hyder]

On the side of the road. Where else do you get deer corpses?

[Matt McCusker]

You know, he was getting the dead deers now. He was roadkill.

[Corey Hyder]

I'm sorry. Yes, I should. I'm from Pennsylvania. Yeah. Where the. The roads are scattered with corpses. Yeah. He was like, the streets of Germany. Yeah. It's crazy.

[Nate]

You know what he was collecting them for or you know what he's getting?

[Corey Hyder]

Just probably. What are those, Duncan Hines points or whatever

[Matt McCusker]

people eat roadkill. He might have been munching it.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, they probably. Probably takes a picture like, we'll pay 25 of corbs. Just stack them and take them to the dump. Because that's what they do, they take them to the dump. I've also been on the other end of that where I had to unload a U Haul on a stir to deer corpses. Oh. And I'm like trying not to step. I'm like, sorry, buddy. You know. Oh, man, my bad. I'm gonna throw this TV on your

[Matt McCusker]

program where you can take deer courses to the dump and get some money.

[Corey Hyder]

I've never been you. I mean, we usually stop at plasma, right? That's usually where people sink. Yeah. As far as legal ways to get money, scrap metal, plasma.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

I've never been. Deer corpse.

[Matt McCusker]

Deer corpse is wild. That's like an. That's like a 1830 fur trader. Yeah, those guys that would, like, trap vermin.

[Corey Hyder]

Didn't even do it for the fur, though. They just do it for the love of ball.

[Matt McCusker]

True. Maybe get some antlers, maybe. That's kind of nice to keep you

[Nate]

from the urge to really murder, you know, if you want, like, people bodies. It's like, I'll just around with these.

[Matt McCusker]

Poke it.

[Corey Hyder]

That's what homeless people. Yeah, that's what homeless people are for. I thought you see. Practice murder. Yeah, practice murder. Practice. Yeah.

[Nate]

Little crash.

[Corey Hyder]

D. We don't want to talk about mom and therapy because we.

[Matt McCusker]

Man. Yeah, you could. You could. Hookers get murdered a lot, too.

[Corey Hyder]

That's sad.

[Matt McCusker]

That's sad.

[Corey Hyder]

They're just doing a service for their community.

[Nate]

Imagine somebody making you come and then you kill them.

[Corey Hyder]

That's not even fair.

[Matt McCusker]

And then you come again.

[Corey Hyder]

That's not. Hey. Right.

[Matt McCusker]

No, you're right. That's. There's a lot.

[Corey Hyder]

Only in grand theft auto.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

I feel I don't like it when hookers get killed the same way I cry. Murder your homeless guy, though, is pretty. It's pretty gnarly, dude.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, I would never. But, you know, it's just fun to joke about.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah. I mean, it's maybe more fun choking them to death, too. You're down. So I had a. Funny enough. I. I got in my car the other morning. I got in my car the other morning. I was driving. I had, like, run early, so I was, like, a little sweaty. I wasn't, you know, get in my car.

[Sponsor/Host Voice]

And I'm like.

[Matt McCusker]

I saw someone had rifled through my glove box. I'm like, homeless guy went through my car. And then the car. I'm like, stinks like a homeless guy. And I might drive it. And then I was like, I think that's me, actually. And I was like, I think it's both of us. I think the homeless guy's must.

[Corey Hyder]

Was he in there?

[Matt McCusker]

No, no, he was.

[Corey Hyder]

No, no.

[Nate]

I didn't think you were about to hit the ground in the back seat.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, dude. No, he. I didn't even check. I should have checked.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, dude, just that mirror.

[Matt McCusker]

True. He's sitting there. I might leave him a snack in my Car. I don't care. You know what I mean?

[Nate]

It's like he didn't get anything.

[Matt McCusker]

He didn't take anything from me.

[Nate]

There's something. I get it. But there's something that just bugs my soul. When I know somebody, I'm worried.

[Matt McCusker]

I'm worried he's gonna beat off in my car. That would piss me off. I'll be pissed.

[Corey Hyder]

Dude, if they come in there, there's not just one of them. They gang up for that. That's a group. That's a homeless group activity.

[Nate]

Oh, somebody broke into your car?

[Corey Hyder]

Never heard of Dirty Mic in the Boys, brother. That's a real thing. That happens. Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Really?

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, they made a soup kitchen out of this guy's Prius. What? Yeah, on the other guys. The movie. Never seen it. Dirty Mike in the Boys. No. Dude.

[Matt McCusker]

I wonder if I left. But you don't think if I left, like. Like some chapstick and applesauce and water changes life.

[Nate]

You don't say, don't feed the deer. That's going to start showing up at the.

[Corey Hyder]

I mean, more and more.

[Matt McCusker]

I wouldn't mind that, though. Just. We have a ring cam just to see how many. That'd be nice. Just five, guys.

[Corey Hyder]

Wait a second. Business idea. You get your own bait car. Or just buy a new car and use a CRV as a bait car. Okay. Or your car. I'm sorry. Are we allowed to say that? I don't know.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

He doesn't use the Accord as a bait car. Okay.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

And then you just put it in your driveway and you just bait it for all these homeless to come in.

[Matt McCusker]

There'd be a good live stream, like

[Corey Hyder]

if one of them eagle cams up in the woods, which is all homeless in Austin, bro. I ran into one. So remember, we've talked about. You said, hey, be careful. The homeless people, they're a little bit brazen. Yeah. I was like, it's okay. I know how to choke them. I know Rear naked choke.

[Matt McCusker]

It's real strong.

[Corey Hyder]

So this guy, right, I'm wandering around the streets last night, and this guy comes up to me. He's like. He keeps. I was like, yeah, this is my dude, right? And he's like, you got a cigarette? I was like, nah, man. I don't even smoke. And I left all my Zen in the hotel room. I'm like, I'm cooking, bro. He's like, you got a dollar? I was like, nah, bro. I was like, nah, bro. It's like everything's cash. I'm just mimic them, right? I was like, nah, bro. I was like, I got none of the cash and right? He's like, oh. He's like. I was like, I know. I don't know what we're gonna do, bro. And he's like, all right, man, good luck, brother. And I'm like, yeah, thanks, man. And I like, walk away. And he walks away, right? I'm like, averted, right? And I was like walking. Three minutes later, same dude. Hey, buddy. I was like, buddy. I was like, it's you again. I was like, you remember from like 6 minutes ago? And I started tweaking, right? I was like, six min. I was like, did you get a cigarette yet? And he's like, no, man. And I was like, I know, dude. We're cooked, bro.

[Nate]

What are we gonna do?

[Corey Hyder]

Just assimilate.

[Matt McCusker]

You just joined him? Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Smart. In Austin, I am the dead center between the homeless and the upper. The sophisticrites. Okay? I'm dead square. So looks me in the eye. They cross the street. If a homeless man looks me in the eye, they ask for money.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah. I'm like.

[Corey Hyder]

So I could be either one.

[Matt McCusker]

You're either. You have a foot in each world.

[Corey Hyder]

So I talked to all the well dressed people in elevators real nice. And I act super homeless to the homeless people.

[Matt McCusker]

We both like, where?

[Corey Hyder]

What are we gonna do, bro?

[Matt McCusker]

Well, I did enjoy the fact. So flying out here. I put you in first class.

[Corey Hyder]

You're trying to first class?

[Matt McCusker]

I think so, right?

[Corey Hyder]

I don't know. I wouldn't know. First class.

[Matt McCusker]

The seats big.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

And was there just two of you in a row or three?

[Corey Hyder]

There was three. There was a space.

[Matt McCusker]

My wife gave you comfort. Plus I'm gonna call her.

[Corey Hyder]

Okay. Is that good or bad? I was happy.

[Matt McCusker]

How many people were.

[Corey Hyder]

There was two people. There was on the way there, on the way here. There was two people on the way to Baltimore. There was one person. There's a seat in between us. But you were not allowed to set your bag there or he would look at you funny the whole time.

[Matt McCusker]

So you were in the front?

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I was the first. Like, if something went down, I'm the first?

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah. Hell yeah. You were in first class. I was about to call my wife and say, that was first class.

[Corey Hyder]

Stop it. Why are you treating me like this?

[Matt McCusker]

I had to.

[Corey Hyder]

I'm literally white trash. What are you doing? You gotta start growling. You gotta build up, dude.

[Matt McCusker]

No, I wanted. I wanted to unleash you in first class, dude. You try to make a flight, buddy.

[Corey Hyder]

So many Times.

[Matt McCusker]

And they were just shutting you down.

[Corey Hyder]

Absolutely not. Yeah. The one lady. I don't know if I could say this. You know hipaa. Hippa.

[Matt McCusker]

Are you.

[Corey Hyder]

No, she. Oh, dude, I was peeping her phone the whole time. Well, she was sitting right there and she had wi fi. I'm like, how the she get WI fi? So I was like this. I was like, oh, she was a king of queens. I love that. And I know all the words, so I don't even need the volume. And she kept looking at this seating chart for a stadium for a softball game, right? And it was in Massachusetts, and I knew he was going to Austin. And I was just like, I gotta figure out something to start a conversation with her, right? And I didn't want to say, oh, you just went to the bathroom. Did you take a dump? Like, what was that about? Was that cool? And so she came back and I was like, oh, you go into a game? And she's like, no. And she, like, hit her phone and put it in her pocket. I was like, okay, I'm just. I'm gonna off for the next two hours and look out my window because I got the window seat. And another outburst like that, I'm gonna close the shade. So you got one more of those.

[Matt McCusker]

Lady, you were phone peeping. You try to make a conversation, not a phone peeping.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, that might not be a good idea.

[Matt McCusker]

I don't iPhone peep, dude. I phone peep.

[Nate]

You can't let people know your phone peeping.

[Matt McCusker]

Letting them know. Dude, I. I saw a guy in, like, an airline unifor on his phone. I'm like, sitting next, and I'm, like, looking down, and it was full. Like, did you. This person. It was like. And then it was like him texting that person, and they were going back and forth, and I was like, scandalous. It was very scandalous. Dude, I was getting rocked up.

[Corey Hyder]

I'm not phone peeping. I just have a massive erection for other reasons.

[Matt McCusker]

I was just clocking his affair. I'm like, dude, this pilot's having an affair. That's.

[Corey Hyder]

Of course he is. Why else are you a pilot? Don't marry a pilot, okay? If you're out there and you're married to a pilot. Brother, come on. What are you gonna do?

[Matt McCusker]

Why?

[Nate]

Well, like, he was about to go fly the plane.

[Matt McCusker]

No, he was. He was, like, doing, like, civilian flying. Oh, so you know, like this. Flight attendants and pilots sometimes just hop on the plane.

[Corey Hyder]

Dude, that'd be.

[Matt McCusker]

He was doing that, and I was next to him and I was just clocking his phone because it was a lot of older people too have that giant font. Yeah, I could read it from 40 yards away.

[Nate]

Saw this Instagram reel the other day. Was just a lady at the spurs game. Like, there's so many Mexicans here. I didn't know they could afford it. It was just her with the giant font.

[Corey Hyder]

I was like, nobody. Do you know why they can afford it? Because they work hard and they're, they're very industrious people.

[Matt McCusker]

You should do your own text in the game.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Was that the game where they won the like last second shot?

[Nate]

I. I don't know what game. It was just like a random. It didn't even.

[Matt McCusker]

You couldn't even see the players.

[Nate]

It just was the people zooming in on the lady.

[Matt McCusker]

It's also a funny way just to like Photoshop people's phones and just write the most whatever you want. Like, damn, it's up. Why would she text that?

[Sponsor/Host Voice]

It's crazy.

[Corey Hyder]

That's a power move. That could be a whole Instagram itself right there, dude.

This episode is brought to you by Mando. Here's the thing. Most deodorants are lying to you. They're not stopping odor. They're just dumping a ton of perfume on it and hoping for the best. Let me think about a relatable example or two of a band aid solution that is as ridiculous as smothering body odor and fragrance. I mean, that's like covering mold with a poster and being like, fix it. Or it could be like starting a podcast instead of going to therapy. That one's kind of on the nose, guys. What the heck? Mando. Mando actually handles the problem. It cuts odor off at the source. Body odor comes from bacteria. And Mando uses mandelic acid to shut those little freaks down before start acting up. No aluminum, no nonsense. Just science doing its thing. And this stuff is tested hard too. Third party clinical testing shows Mando blocks odor all day long. You put it on in the morning and you're set. No reapplication necessary. And get this, it's not just for armpits. You can use it anywhere. Odor shows up. Your feet, your crotch, your butt, whatever. If it smells, don't mask it. Mando it. You can find Mando at Walmarts targets and other retailers across the country. Or you can go to Shopmando M a n d o.com and use the code drenched for 20% off your first order.

[Corey Hyder]

Wow.

I click them all the time.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Sponsor/Host Voice]

Yeah. Yeah. You would have to go to the gym regularly because you would never get tired from doing that.

[Matt McCusker]

No.

[Corey Hyder]

You would sleep terribly.

[Matt McCusker]

You would actually.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. We're just sitting at home all day just making AI itself. That's just. Just watching AI beat off over itself. And like, yeah, sad stories. We can clickbait people.

[Matt McCusker]

There is something sad about that too. I was watching, like, man, that's kind of empty.

[Nate]

Especially because it won't work if he made make great stories. Make happy stories. Like, and then put those in videos. It'll get no tracks.

[Matt McCusker]

It doesn't get.

[Nate]

It's gotta be up insane.

[Matt McCusker]

It's like a sad thing. Like, then her child died and she got ran over by a train. And people like, oh, it's just a

[Corey Hyder]

nurse being like, oh, my God.

[Matt McCusker]

Oh, that's terrible.

[Corey Hyder]

I'm feeling my own emotions.

[Nate]

What was the guy. Could you see? Like, was the guy Indian guy?

[Matt McCusker]

No, he's like a white guy. He's like a young. Damn young white hot shot.

[Nate]

Yeah, no, I just. I just.

[Matt McCusker]

Indian guy now. They're working the phones, bro.

[Nate]

AI heavy, too.

[Matt McCusker]

They are. You think they're AI heavy?

[Nate]

That's what's. There's a thing I've been noticing a lot. You know, I've told you before that my. My algorithm is all thoughts, but I've been noticing it's been sliding in AI thoughts. And every now and again, the captions like, it's like they forgot to hit the translator or whatever and it's just Indian. But it's like. It's just ladies. It's just super real looking ladies that you gotta, like, squint and, like, notice weird movements or notice that they're all doing the exact same thing, but they're like, quiet. And they have, like, their verified accounts with. With only fans linked to them. They're like doing AI.

[Matt McCusker]

Oh, that's. You said the engines are up here right now, Fake lady.

[Nate]

Also pulled over to.

[Matt McCusker]

What's wrong with engine?

[Corey Hyder]

I don't know. I'm. I thought we eradicated that word in the 1800s. But we can bring it back.

[Matt McCusker]

Well, I'm talking about Indians from India.

[Corey Hyder]

I don't. Okay, we'll See how that. Yeah, I shouldn't. I'm sorry, dude. I'm very expressive. I get, get. I literally have no filter. And I try. I shouldn't. No, that's fine. We call them.

[Matt McCusker]

I should have called Indians. Calling the Indians from India. Engines.

[Corey Hyder]

I don't even know. Yeah, dude, that's like. That's like second generation. That's like. And that's like racial inception. Like just go over to India and be like, you Native American. I'd be like, oh yeah, fire back, dude.

[Nate]

Clap back.

[Matt McCusker]

What is fun? Isn't that whole thing from Christopher Columbus thinking he was like getting to India?

[Corey Hyder]

Yes.

[Matt McCusker]

Look at these guys.

[Corey Hyder]

Yes. That's how, how stubborn white people are, dude.

[Matt McCusker]

It's crazy to me too, cuz they call. They're called Indians.

[Corey Hyder]

It didn't. I shouldn't have stuck. That's crazy. That'd be like you pulling up to a red light and being like, that's a purple light. And everyone be like, no, that's absolutely red light. And you're like, well, we'll just kill everyone.

[Nate]

Enough people call it a purple light.

[Corey Hyder]

How about. What color is it now? Oh, it seems pretty purple to me. Huh? Let's keep that rolling. We'll name baseball teams after and everything.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, well, even Native Americans got like. They're like, no, we're like an Iroquois or a Gon or whatever. So it's just funny. Like, nah, we came out with your name.

[Nate]

That's what you guys are just thinking with it.

[Matt McCusker]

Pretty.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, dude, I wish we it is

[Matt McCusker]

boss on some level, but it's not good to be like, Nat. Look like this is your guys identity. We figured it out for you.

[Nate]

We're not going to learn the rest.

[Corey Hyder]

I wish if there was anything we could have culturally appropriated from the Native Americans, it would have been the naming system. We brought that over from Europe, bro. Come on. I want to be Running Dog.

[Matt McCusker]

I'm with you on that, bro.

[Corey Hyder]

Wouldn't that be great, Nighthawk Senior. That's my grandpa, Crazy Squirrel. You'd love them.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, their naming system was. I'll give you that.

[Corey Hyder]

Superior.

[Matt McCusker]

It was sick.

[Corey Hyder]

I'm.

[Matt McCusker]

I'm for.

[Corey Hyder]

I, I.

[Matt McCusker]

You know, nobody's with me on this one, but I'm all about a Native American president.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Let's go everyone. We've never had a Native American president.

[Nate]

I feel like he would turn on the whites. You guys will be.

[Corey Hyder]

Let it happen.

[Matt McCusker]

What are you talking about?

[Nate]

After. After what y' all did to them, you think they're not quietly holding a grudge?

[Corey Hyder]

Let's open up this.

[Matt McCusker]

I didn't do anything.

[Corey Hyder]

I know.

[Nate]

I know now, but historically true.

[Matt McCusker]

He's got.

[Nate]

They got the little grudge in the back there. Just on those. I was driving around Phoenix before, and, like, just the parts where they put your people look like shit.

[Matt McCusker]

Not good.

[Corey Hyder]

It is not good.

[Nate]

Like, you hit, like, green, and then it's just. You just. It just turns back into the desert as soon as you hit the rest.

[Corey Hyder]

And they're like, that's what you get.

[Matt McCusker]

They got some bum lands for sure, dude.

[Corey Hyder]

I was in the Wind river, just like he said, bro. Wind river mountains in somewhere. Wyoming, Montana. I don't know. I was driving, didn't pay attention, and you came up and like you said, bro, it was green mountains, beautiful white people land. And then it was just barren desert. Like, welcome to the Indian reservation. And.

[Nate]

Right?

[Corey Hyder]

I'm from this little town, Pennsylvania, like, near Pittsburgh. And I was on this Indian reservation, right? Nothing around. Took me 3 hours and 10 minutes to drive there through nothing. And I go in this little steak, little convenience store. Not even gas station. Everything's dusty, bro. I pull off this thing, it's Delalo. And I was like, that's from my hometown. I was like, there's no way. I didn't know that was a national thing. And I look and I was like, no, Made in Jeanette, Pennsylvania. I was like, oh, what truck came out here, bro?

[Matt McCusker]

What is Delalo?

[Corey Hyder]

It's Delalo is like a little Italian market in a suburb of Pennsylvania. Like, I don't even know. It's not Pittsburgh. It's not Greensburg. Like, there's. I don't think there's anything I could say that.

[Matt McCusker]

And it made it all the way out to the res.

[Corey Hyder]

Brother. Brother in Wyoming. I'm like, how. How'd you get out here, little guy? I almost want to take him back home. I'll take you back, dude. You lost your way. Dude, come back.

[Matt McCusker]

Nobody talks about the Native Americans ever. It's like, it's. They get like, the. The littlest bit of lip service at, like, liberal colleges every now and again.

[Corey Hyder]

There's nothing good we can say.

[Matt McCusker]

That's also kind of like a weird thing. Like, just. We're gonna acknowledge the fact of this land. Anyway, here's what we're building here, and

[Corey Hyder]

it's gonna be sick.

[Matt McCusker]

It's gonna be awesome.

[Corey Hyder]

You guys get casinos. Get it?

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, I'm. Dude, the Native American president. Could be sick.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, could be, dude.

[Matt McCusker]

The peace pipe in the Oval Office.

[Nate]

I mean, that would honestly Be the best thing.

[Matt McCusker]

Be awesome.

[Nate]

See him sitting down with Z. Payton, smoking a peace pipe.

[Matt McCusker]

Dude, it would be so especially. I. I would like to. And I don't want to get political here, but I would like to get away from having like 87 year olds as the president. Yeah, you can't have like a guy's cognitive decline.

[Corey Hyder]

We need JFK too. Tokyo Drift.

[Nate]

A guy who's got not much time left on here just making all our decisions.

[Matt McCusker]

No, dude, we need. Yeah, we need. I would say 50 is like the perfect age.

[Nate]

Can I have one more counter argument against Native Americans though? They have historically taken so many Ls. I don't know if. You don't know if you put them in charge. We just went through a series of

[Corey Hyder]

them taking L. Come on.

[Matt McCusker]

She's thinking about his country. Okay.

[Corey Hyder]

Okay. Are you ready for this? So let's look at the other side of the coin. Okay, so if you've taken every ale possible, you've learned every way to not do that again. True. That's how I got where I am today.

[Matt McCusker]

True. True.

[Corey Hyder]

I learned every lesson the hard way. True.

[Nate]

You're making a good point.

[Matt McCusker]

What's the hardest lesson you ever learned?

[Corey Hyder]

Oh my God, dude. Look both ways before you cross that road.

[Matt McCusker]

Oh yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

You got hit by a car, cousin.

[Matt McCusker]

What kind of car?

[Corey Hyder]

Dodge Shadow 93 ES. Trim.

[Matt McCusker]

Oh, how fast was it?

[Corey Hyder]

I mean 45 miles an hour in a 25 cousin. Oh, I was 315 pounds at 13 years old while my dad stolen Trek mountain bike. I stole it from him. He didn't steal it. Yeah, it was rightfully his. I had no right taking it. So let me bust this story down. You got time. Let me bust this story down. Okay. So your boy was at home skipping school, not supposed to be doing it. And his dad's bike was in the basement. The nicest possession in the hider household. Not ever supposed to be touched by me, who broke every thing he ever touched. Ever. I was a nightmare. They called me Bits and Pieces. I don't even think my mom knew my name. She just called me Bits and Pieces because that's all the. I left. And so, okay, so I went down the basement. I stole my dad's bike. It had a digital speedometer. It's important for later in the story. Foreshadowing. So I take it. I dip off. I'm going to go to my boy Brandon's house. I'm a flex on the neighborhood, right? Pimp, pimp, pimp, hooray. So I go down And I. It's all downhill. So at £315 on a bike, downhill, it's an easy game, dude. I could have. I didn't even touch the sidewalk cut. So I get down there and I'm like, yo, look at this bike. It's tight, right? He's like, yeah, good point. Let's go on a bike ride. Our boy CJ just got hit by a car on his bicycle. We should go visit him. He's in danger, okay? And I was like, that does seem nice. But that's all downhill. And then I'm gonna have to pedal all uphill to get home. And it's, like, real. I already pedal down here to get here. I was like, oh, all right. It right. Let's do it.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Let's take one for the team.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

So I went down, visited cj, right? His mom is in the alley telling the story. Hype, bro. We're in Johnstown. She ghetto. We're hype.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

She hit my baby. Say she only doing 25 mile an hour. I know she wasn't doing no 25 mile an hour. She came down, said, bam. She's like, look at my baby, dude. CJ, 68 pounds soaking wet with a pocket full of change. Come out collarbone. But, bro, he looked like Tiny Tim up because he was ruined, dude. Ruined. So I was like, damn. All right. That ain't good. So I was like, flex. I got the speedometer on my bike right now. I'm gonna come down past 25 mile an hour, right?

[Matt McCusker]

It's like, oh, you're like, checking exhibit.

[Corey Hyder]

Exhibit A.

[Matt McCusker]

You're like, let's get this back straight to court. You could be like, this boy was on a mountain bike.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. Someone comes down to 25, and you gauge right with your eye. Your calculated eye. If that was a. This is worth my life. Okay? So I go up the hill, right? No, I stretch, right? And remember the calves? I got these calves, right?

[Matt McCusker]

You got crazy.

[Corey Hyder]

That's what I'm saying.

[Matt McCusker]

So calves are bodybuilder cab.

[Corey Hyder]

Thank you. I appreciate it. So Even at, like, 13 years old, I had about 400, 450 pound feet of torque, okay? So I put that bike in 37th gear, straight on it when I just started, bro, on this downhill, right? And I'm looking 21, 22. Next thing you know, nothing, bro. All I hear is glass shatter. Oh, entire screech. In that order. And that's important because she didn't hit the brakes until after this pack was done. Because she was. Well, she wasn't on her phone. We didn't have phones back.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

But anyway, so she hits. Right, okay. And let me tell it right here. So I actually, what happened was the bike. It was an inferred stop sign. She was doing 45, I was doing 22. And you probably hit 23, by the way, bro. I was locked into the speedometer. I did not even look ahead of me. Oh, 100.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

So she came and it could have been this. Which me on the bike. Her. It could have been this where she hit me, but it actually happened like this where I just clipped her fender as she was going, and it sent me over her hood and then her windshield and roof caught my 315 pound supple child body, okay. Bent the whole safety cage back and at which point she said, oh, right, because my ass is in her mouth probably. Yeah. So she slams the brakes, okay. And I go, yeet, yeet, right. 28ft through the air. Another 45 on my left ass cheek. Oh. And the only reason I know is because it's mostly missing. That could be an afterthought if you want to look at that.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

So a fly, right? And I didn't. I'm so stubborn. I didn't even know what the happened. So I go to sit up, I'm like, what the fuck?

[Matt McCusker]

Your shoes off, brother.

[Corey Hyder]

Let it happen. Hold on one second. Let it happen. Okay. So I sit up, I'm like, oh, dog damn. Right? And I see a car antenna down the road, but I'm keeping up with the right. I'm like, oh, that's wild and crazy. Okay. I'm moving and then I feel the inertia. Like you stop at a stoplight and I'm looking, I'm like, I'm sitting in the middle of the street. This is dangerous. So I go to get up, right? And I go fat as fat as. So I go to roll and get up in my little three stage motion that you do right? When you ain't got the upper body strength. And. And I go to step off the road and it feel like I step in a pothole. I'm like, johnstown City works, damn it. And I look down and it just looks like my shoes off, but it's. It's still attached to my foot and my calf is just on the ground. And my brain says, shut it down and start it back up. Something's wrong. So I bam, straight back down, right? And so when I went down, I hit my head and all that. So I'm out and the whole neighborhood's holding me down. They're like, oh my God. Right? And they're freaking out, bro. And I come to and I'm like, brandon, because that's my boy I came with. That's the first thing I. Brandon, brandon. And my 14 year old friend, he can't even look at me, bro. He's like, he's dying. I can't look at my homie like that, cousin. Yeah, right. Because what I didn't know is there is a pool of blood puddling around my waist.

[Nate]

So your ass.

[Corey Hyder]

Well, that's. I know that now, but at the time they just thought my inner organs busted like a water balloon and was leaking out of the closest hole it could find, which just happened to be my true. Yeah. So everyone's like, man, dead man walking. You know what I mean? They're like, bro, don't move. Don't move. So long story short, they sent me to the hospital. They. They. Well, they said, we're gonna have to catheterize you. And I was like, listen, I'm Christian. My grandma would not like that. We can't be doing that. I don't know what medically if that will help, but I just don't. They're like, no, we're gonna stick a tube in your dick. I was like, can I be catholic? Is that still on the table? I will be catholic if that's still on the table. And they're like, no, we just got a bam. So, bro, yeah, pulling it out was the crazy part. Yeah, like she was starting a goddamn lawnmower, dude.

[Matt McCusker]

She was yanking, bro.

[Corey Hyder]

She's like, hold up, hold up, hold up. Okay. Oh, hit the choke. Hold up. Bang. Boy. I was like, damn. Sucked a bed sheet up my ass, bro. It had so much momentum, bro. It was insane.

[Matt McCusker]

How long was the recovery?

[Corey Hyder]

Way too long. So I was 14. It just. This happened 10 days before summer vacation. And Brian Gunlingson, if you're still out there, I appreciate you. I'm sorry I up all your work. That was my leg specialist. So he rebuilt it. Tibiophibia clean through. Because my leg wrapped around her a pillar like a snap bracelet. So it had dusted everything that was connecting. So they pinned and plated it all back together. He did a wonderful job. But I was a 315 pound 14 year old. That was not taken no on summer vacation. And I started walking on that. And if you look to this day, bro, I have the arthritis of a 90 year old man. You'll see me, bro. Get. If we ever go somewhere in a Car for six hours. Watch how I get out. Make fun of me. Live stream it stiff. Brother. Brother. I make all the noises. Old people noises.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, that's fair.

[Corey Hyder]

And my favorite hobby is driving cars that are slammed to the ground. I'm like, this is. Yeah, I literally. It's like that Leonardo getting out of the on Wolf of Wall Street. I just lay down and crawl out. Yeah, dude, sick car. I know. No big deal.

[Matt McCusker]

You like them slammed to the ground.

[Corey Hyder]

Oh, dude. Well, it's the only ones that are cool. I don't like trucks even. That'd probably be a whole nother issue. I have to get a ladder.

[Matt McCusker]

Do you. So you worry you're gonna. I'm not to, you know, take away from almost dying, but you worry about scraping the undercarriage. Your slam low to the ground.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, the Miata, literally, my Miata has stayed. Are you talking about my. Because I've done that.

[Matt McCusker]

No, I'm talking about the car.

[Corey Hyder]

Okay. I've hit road debris that I felt my ass 100, 100. Like you. Because it's. You're right, brother cousin. You're right there. You hit like a bushing that fell off a old truck. And that floor panel, like it don't touch you.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, but you feel the floor.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, it's like. It's like if you put a trash can lid on your ass and I hit it with a hammer. That was a close one.

[Matt McCusker]

So what's up with. What's up with it? So.

[Corey Hyder]

Oh. Miata has stainless steel frame rails.

[Nate]

Okay.

[Corey Hyder]

Because I plan for that. So it literally has 302 stainless steel. I could 50, 50 grind my Miata down. I could 6 set of stairs.

[Matt McCusker]

That's sick.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, dude. As long as I don't blow out the oil pan. True golden. But if I wreck that meal, I'm dead. It's literally a skateboard.

[Matt McCusker]

So you healed up and do you have to fix your legs after you were like thrashing around?

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. Well, okay, well, what do you mean? Like, yeah, they. They pin plated all together. And then after I it all up, right. I went back as an adult and I'm like, I'm sorry, guys. Right. I was young, immature. I'm new. I've grown.

[Matt McCusker]

Right.

[Corey Hyder]

And they're like, yeah, you got. We could do something like, we'll break your leg, right? And we'll remove your ankle completely because you can't have arthritis and something you don't have to. That's. That's a cool trick we learned. And we'll just mount your foot straight to Your leg like Cotton Hill from King of the Hill. You know, blow out your ankle and then. Yeah. And then you could just stab the clutch from your hip. Like, how am I gonna.

[Matt McCusker]

So you don't have like ankle flexion?

[Corey Hyder]

No, there would be nothing. I. I've never got it done because they're like, that's the option. I was like, I'll just deal.

[Nate]

That.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Nate]

Sucks.

[Corey Hyder]

I'll stay.

[Matt McCusker]

Damn. You would have like a GI Joe foot just straight. That's.

[Sponsor/Host Voice]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

I was like, do I at least get the. To pick the angle? I was like, what if I want to wear high heels?

[Matt McCusker]

True.

[Corey Hyder]

One 6 inch pump and a prosthetic, like orthopedic.

[Matt McCusker]

Should have just went and got the full height surgery where they like break your legs and lengthen them. You could have got.

[Corey Hyder]

You're in there type. Yeah. 6:30. It's called scope creep.

[Matt McCusker]

Scope creep?

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, that's when you go in. So let's say you go in, right? Because you just want to break your leg so you could fix it. And they're like, well, while you're in there, why don't you give me extra leg surgery? And they're like, well, we got this new hydraulic leg surgery to make you jump really high. We'll already be in there. And like, well, while you're in there. So now what? Started out as a three thousand dollar fixer upper. Now you're 55 grand in aftermarket supplies. That's true.

[Nate]

Why you're in there, Contractor.

[Matt McCusker]

So what's the, you know, what's the. What's the plan going forward, dude?

[Sponsor/Host Voice]

What are you.

[Corey Hyder]

What are you up to in life? Yeah, that's a great question. Right?

[Matt McCusker]

True.

[Corey Hyder]

Just wing it.

[Sponsor/Host Voice]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

So I've been doing so far. I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far. I'm one of those people that just look back like, damn, that's a. Holy shit. Huh? Because I look back at like all like a lot of the kids I grew up with and stuff. Right. And like even growing up, because I like, you know, there wasn't much structure there.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

So I was just like, man, I'm

[Nate]

part of pa. Like, where's your PA town? Like, where did you grow up?

[Corey Hyder]

What's called Johnstown.

[Nate]

Johnstown.

[Corey Hyder]

Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

[Matt McCusker]

So was that was that close? As me and Nate drove and we were. We drove from Ohio to Pittsburgh and we were all pumped to see Youngstown, where Bones. Bone Thugs was from. That's close, right?

[Corey Hyder]

Maybe. No, I think that's closer to Pittsburgh.

[Matt McCusker]

No, it's close to Pittsburgh. It definitely is. We were, like, all pumped because we kept seeing Youngstown. We're like. We were listening to Bone Thugs the whole time. Being Dwarfs. Yeah.

[Nate]

Two hours of both.

[Matt McCusker]

It was just. I thought it was like, it's got to be coming up. It's got to be right here. It's like on the edge, literally. I think it's the last town before

[Corey Hyder]

you hit Johnstown, Ohio.

[Nate]

No, no, Youngstown.

[Matt McCusker]

Youngstown.

[Corey Hyder]

Youngstown. Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

It's for Bone Thugs.

[Corey Hyder]

Okay. Okay.

[Matt McCusker]

I didn't know if you knew it at all.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, well, I know of Youngstown.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Okay.

[Corey Hyder]

We don't go there. Oh, it's just another hood.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

You know what I mean? I'm like, I'm already from the hood. I don't gotta go hood busy.

[Matt McCusker]

Not even if Bone Thugs is from.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, me. I did boom, boom, boom, boom. I hear crossroad, I think about my uncle. Yeah. I cry every time.

[Matt McCusker]

But you don't need to go.

[Corey Hyder]

No, I don't. When he remember Crossroads to me. When he touched that man's head and his eyes turn black.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, true, true.

[Corey Hyder]

Miss my uncle's house. He be going in front of his home. Oh, dude, don't get me started.

[Matt McCusker]

Oh, man.

[Corey Hyder]

That's why I didn't want to. That's. You had to edge me on. Now I'm here.

[Matt McCusker]

So what's the plan? What's the plan?

[Corey Hyder]

I'm just going to keep working, bro. I'm going to keep doing it. If anybody wants to make me famous, I'll get famous. There you go. If you. I mean, you know, I'm, you know,

[Matt McCusker]

just keep grinding out the. The content.

[Corey Hyder]

I mean, I.

[Matt McCusker]

Can we. Can we pull up one of the. I just want the videos. Yeah, videos are.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Nate]

Made me happy. What's the one you just showed me? With the glove or you.

[Corey Hyder]

I don't know.

[Nate]

I don't know.

[Corey Hyder]

Oh, yeah, No, I never posted that because that's one of those things I

[Nate]

never posted because I was like, bro, I'm thinking about. I don't know if it should go on the screen.

[Matt McCusker]

Here it is. This is.

[Corey Hyder]

This one changed my life. We got you on all day. That was probably the most expensive one I'll hear about in the comments. My man got deviled egg trays for deviled egg days. Oh, no. Happy Easter. 27 minute video, my man. This gets deep.

[Matt McCusker]

It's a lot of deviled eggs. That's crazy.

[Corey Hyder]

Insane. Primarily egg diet.

[Matt McCusker]

So in terms of people living in the house, I hate that.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, I Like finding them dead better.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, I would, I would.

[Corey Hyder]

Way more predictable to God.

[Matt McCusker]

I. I would say it's scary, dude.

[Corey Hyder]

One time, so one time, long, long time ago, came into this house, right? And just like typical, bro, I break in. I usually don't even think someone's in there, cuz it's so uncommon. And I go in and the house is warm and I'm like, ew, that's creepy. And then I like walk in and I get hit in the neck with some drip. And like, oh, the drip is warm. I hate this. And then I get in the living room and dude. Oh, oh. Very important part. See this one? I mean, it's not even significant to me. The whole house is a canyon of horde. The only thing to walk through is a canyon and it is eye level trash.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

And then you start getting down and it starts getting wetter and wetter and wetter until it turns into dirt. Because it's been there so long that it, you know, it just disintegrates. It just the paper and everything turns back into dirt. So I'm like walking through this, I'm like, this is crazy. And like I said, it's eye level, dude. And I get into the living room and the lights are on, it's warm, it's weird. But again, you don't assume somebody's in here, dude. Yeah, like it's so easy for me to like disassociate that somebody lives like that, but so this chihuahua Yorkie mix, bro, starts just like Simba in the Lion King. Like prouncing over this canyon towards me, barking. I'm like this at eye level, like the playing field has been leveled here. This is not good for me, okay? Like usually it's not scary because they're on the ground, but this motherfucker is heightened and he has toxic damage too. Charging through. Dude, I'm scared. Okay? So he's coming at me and I hear a voice. I forget the dog's name, but she was like, get away from him or something. I'm like, oh no. I'm like, I'm with the bank, I don't know. And she's like, did Martha send you? I was like, I don't know Martha, I'm not. And it was. Dude, there was this lady there that was big girl. You ever see what's eating Gilbert Crape?

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

You ever see his mom? Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Okay, she's big girl living in the trash, bro.

[Corey Hyder]

That's. She can't leave. You eat your way and you can't leave. Because once you get bigger than a door, 36 inches. So keep a tape measure on deck if you're getting there. Cuz I'm just saying there's going to be a time that you leave your house for the last time. Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

She was entombed.

[Corey Hyder]

Unless you go out to eat, then you won't be able to get back in, which is probably a better problem to have.

[Matt McCusker]

Oh, so she was, was. She was just part of the house.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. They call that landlocked.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah. Why can't, why can't the bank just respect that?

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

You guys. $385,000. But I am become one with this house.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, dude, they'll shut that down, throw you in the street and give the. The subsidiary to someone who deserves it. I mean they don't deserve. I mean it's not. No, I'm sorry. It's not me to say anything about that, but it's true. It's hard for me to imagine letting shit go that far. Right.

[Matt McCusker]

Because I, Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Just I've let my life go pretty far and I'm like, I know what it takes to hit a rock bottom. Like I couldn't imagine hitting that rock bottom. Being like, this ain't that bad. I know. Let's keep it rolling.

[Matt McCusker]

Dude, it's amazing.

[Nate]

[Corey Hyder]

Sewage.

[Nate]

Sewage. Okay. Just straight from. Okay.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. No big deal.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, they're hot. You know, my uncle got me with that one time we were all like working together and I had early like a year before Prank called my uncle funny enough as the bank because he had just bought this house. He's all, he's all pumped up and I called him being like, hey, this is TD bank, there's a second mortgage on your home. And I had the address and I was slacking the keyboard the whole time. Sounded really official.

[Corey Hyder]

Sold it.

[Matt McCusker]

Sold it. Dude.

[Corey Hyder]

He.

[Matt McCusker]

I was like, well you know, it's like $87,000 second mortgage. You didn't. I'm surprised you. They didn't come up with that at like title. They should have showed you that. And there he was like just bugging out. I'm like, just come down here, we'll figure it out. Probably just put a lien on your house. What's your mother's maiden name? He's like, I'm not telling you. Goddamn hung up. He ended up calling my whole family. He was calling my dad my aunt. He was just like, like freaking out. And they're all like, what the. That sounds crazy. Like and then I told my dad what I did, and he was like, that's the funniest thing in the world. So they're all laughing. Eventually he found out. My dad's like, dude, my. It was my son. He was with you. And my uncle was beholding. He still holds a grudge to this day about. It's been obviously maybe 12 years.

[Nate]

Was that horse?

[Matt McCusker]

No, no, that's my cousin. I don't know if Hoss would have went to the. Actually, he actually Michael did go to the bank and started arguing with him in person.

[Corey Hyder]

Why would you let that cook? I would have broke that for the end of the call.

[Matt McCusker]

Me and my cousin in high school, and we're like just around calling people. I'm like, oh, this would be funny. It was like, not even premeditated, and it was just a flawless bank. It just them up and we were. They were knocking down a. Because they all do demolition. They were knocking down an old grocery store. And I was just standing there talking to everyone, and he. We like, saw each other. And he just grabbed one of the pipes and bent it towards me and all that nasty water, right? I was like, fair, fair. I was like, I'll take it. Fair enough.

[Corey Hyder]

Stuff.

[Matt McCusker]

That stuff is nasty. It's kind of nice. You just went. It was like one of those, like, fat copper pipes down.

[Corey Hyder]

I was like, oh, those sewage guys are a whole. Another breed, bro. No, I had to call one in my house because, like, that's not me. I'm not feeling around in that. And it was like backing up to my basement, okay. And it like, my house sits up high, so it had this whole slope, okay? Then down to the street. So we're talking 75ft of 3 inch pipe filled with doo doo and buku berries, okay? The whole nine, bro. The whole nine. And he's like, trying to find it and this and that and the third. And he goes out to the street and there's like a little turn and he turns it and he's like, I found it, bro. And he jams this giant snake, bro. This giant. And it hits this thing and he. He's standing right over it, like, looking down into it. Like, that's. I know better than that. You shan't do that, right? And he busts that thing loose. And what it happened to be was bacon grease. Because, you know, I'm used to renting. I'm still not, so. So bacon grease and literally a five gallon bucket of undigested peanuts because I was going through a crunchy peanut butter face. At that point, that's keto life, dude. And, bro, I cannot just. There was. I literally had to, like, get the squirrels out of my yard for months

[Matt McCusker]

because they were like.

[Corey Hyder]

So this thing breaks loose, this hard ball of break bacon grease, and then like a fire hydrant over of peanuts. And he's sitting there loving it, dude. He's like, excited. Like he was waiting for old faithful to go off, and it didn't. He's like. I'm like, you're standing in it, bro. This ain't splash Mountain, bro. Out of there, cousin. Yeah, that is hepatitis.

[Matt McCusker]

The. The p. Plumbing something. I could never. Dude just turds all day, all day for fun.

[Nate]

But anytime you meet a plumber, they felt like they're built for it. You know what I mean? Like, they're. They're that guy.

[Matt McCusker]

True.

[Corey Hyder]

I used to be in the car industry. Well, okay. I used to be in the customer service industry. Hard.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Right. Because I was a big boy, so my mom was always like, dude, never be. Get a job working on your feet. Yeah, not gonna happen. Yeah, let's cut that short. You want an SSI check or you want a desk job? You know what I mean? I was like, okay, desk job. Good point. So I get right. Real, real, real good mom there. But so I go, I get desk job after desk job. And I'm good at it, right? Because I'm personable.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

I'm likable because we move schools all the time. That's how I got either good friends or you stay alone. So let' rolling. So I got good at making friends. So customer service, right? And I Desk job, desk job, desk job. But every six months, I'm like, man, what do you think dying's like? It has to be better than this, right?

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

So I'm like, man, that's something to think about. We'll put that on the back burn. Okay.

[Matt McCusker]

It's truly like.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

It's like suicide time.

[Corey Hyder]

So I'm just going to keep doing my desk job and trying to figure out why am so sad. Yeah.

[Sponsor/Host Voice]

Right.

[Corey Hyder]

And then the ultimate happened, right? My. The pandemic happened in this order, bro. Pandemic happened. I almost died in traffic on the way home from getting fired from my job. And then as I got home, I got a whole new lease on life. Made dinner for my wife, and she got home and divorced me. Oh. And then the next day, I wake up and I'm like, okay, I don't have a job. I have a whole new lease on life. And I'm out Of wife. What does your boy do? Right? And I was like, let's collect this. I love what pandemic money, Right?

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, true.

[Corey Hyder]

I'm schizophrenic. I'm not gonna lie, bro. I never know who's showing up for dinner.

[Matt McCusker]

Well, the new lease on life with the firing to new lease on life. Nice. Sudden divorce. That's like, Whoa.

[Corey Hyder]

Within 12 hours, dude. Bing, bang. Bing, bing, bang.

[Matt McCusker]

And then pandemic.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. So I literally got rebirthed. I was. I woke up the next morning with placenta on me. I was like, this is. I've never had such a tangible moment. Okay. Yeah, let's cook, dog.

[Matt McCusker]

And then you just pandemic up for, like, a couple years there.

[Corey Hyder]

Well, what was the question?

[Matt McCusker]

So you that. And you rode that right into the pandemic.

[Corey Hyder]

Well, that was the pandemic. I got fired because of the pandemic. Oh, dang, dude. It like, all. Like, it was all rapid fire, bro, so. Well, actually, I got laid off. I was going home from a layoff. I got to specify because if everyone's listening, like, he didn't get fired that day. I was going home from a layoff, bro. They laid me off, and then the guy who laid me off got fired, and they never brought me back.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

So call that. That.

[Nate]

What the.

[Corey Hyder]

You want to call it? But I got a technicality, okay. If anyone wants out there, they just

[Matt McCusker]

cut an entire branch off the plant. They're just like, all right. Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

And I was dangling on a security rope attached to it. Okay, bye. So then I wrote out that pandemic money, right? Because your boy Donnie was flapping me with them 600 stimmies.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

And I was getting unemployment, and I was getting, you know, Cory hiders from the street monies. So your boy. I was like, I'm making more money.

[Matt McCusker]

You're killing it.

[Corey Hyder]

Unemployed and divorced. Yeah. This is. Okay. Who knew? I know an upstroke when I see one, you know? So I wrote that out, and then I got bored, right? Because I was like, okay, well, this is not. Having a job is crazier than a desk job.

[Matt McCusker]

It's weird.

[Corey Hyder]

It is.

[Matt McCusker]

Especially if you're used to having a job. When you stop having a job, it's a weird feeling.

[Corey Hyder]

I crave structured activity, bro.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Hard. I'm like, waking up with nothing to do. It's gonna get up quick when you're cranking your hog by 9:30 in the downhill from here.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

That's when you start doing the darker corners of Craigslist.

[Corey Hyder]

You want to do human trafficking. Looking at my too. What do you want to do? You know, I don't know. Dark web. I heard's fun this time of year. So. So my boy calls me, right. And all those video. Well, the videos I post, right. And the that, you know, I know what he does. And he's like, why don't you come work with me? And I was like, no. I was like, that's when you. You say you're bored. Your mom's like, wash the dishes. Like, that's not fun. Yeah, that's not what I meant. He's like, just come on, dude, I need help. So I just started helping him and then I fell in love with it. And then you become normalized that. And then I was like, damn it, I'm an outside cat. This whole time I thought I was an indoor cat.

[Matt McCusker]

That's crazy. You didn't have any like instruction experience before that?

[Corey Hyder]

No. What? No, I will. I would around on my own Accord building cars and.

[Matt McCusker]

Oh yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Oh, and dude, when I was a kid, I could build a bong out of anything. By 12 years old, I ripped apart literally the entire Radio Shack catalog and rebuild it at one point. That's what I did as a kid. Because I figured out, bro, at five years old, this blows my mind. I think this is the peak of my whole peak in this. At five years old, bro, I figured out how an internal combustion engine worked because I couldn't figure out how the tire span. I was like, if the tire spins, something's got to spin to spin that. And then something's got to spin to spin that. And then someone's got to spin and spin that. But eventually it's got to be a reciprocating motion. So how do you turn a reciprocating motion into a spinning motion? And then I had this toy steam train that had the wheel with the. And I looked at turn the reciprocating into. I was like, I bet that's it. And that's literally how an engine works. Now. If I was Japanese, I would have figured out the Wankel rotary engine right there on the spot.

[Matt McCusker]

But I did.

[Corey Hyder]

I didn't. I did it. So, you know, there's always a first place.

[Matt McCusker]

I wish I had that because I remember being like a little boy and I was like, I had the weed whacker and I like took it apart to do something and I was like, I'm going to take it apart. This is my seminal moment of becoming like a mechanical minded man. I took the weed whacker Apart and just was like, called my dad. I was like, dad, the weed whacker is kind of messed up. The going on with it.

[Corey Hyder]

I don't know.

[Matt McCusker]

Whole thing trying to add the string, and it got all up, and he's like, what the.

[Nate]

Just multiple pieces.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Never tried to really fix anything ever

[Corey Hyder]

since Sense, I was just always mechanical. And then people were like, you're likable. I was like, okay, I'll lean into that. Because I've never, ever had confidence, and I've literally never had confidence in anything I've ever done.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

And if. You know, like, this whole Instagram thing, it started as a Snapchat, so I used to send my friends and I, like, post that. Dude, you're. You're killing it like this. It's funny. I'm the only one that sees it.

[Matt McCusker]

You know what I mean?

[Corey Hyder]

It's crazy. And then if you ever look, my Instagram handle is Hider Corey. Like, I had to look myself up in the phone book. Like, I didn't know my name. And that's because the Instagram was an accident, bro. I was up working at a gas station with my fat, sweaty leg and it pocket down because I was, like, on Facebook, and I put it in there, and it, like, opened Instagram, started Instagram automatically from Facebook. Like, I click things with my leg, and I pulled out of my pocket, and Hyder Corey, Instagram was logged in. I was like, what the is that?

[Matt McCusker]

Whoa.

[Corey Hyder]

And I just canceled it and looked out, and I never opened it again for five, six years. And then boy was like, yo, start posting that. And I opened Instagram, Hider Corey. And I was like, let's do it. I've thought about changing my name so many times, but I was like. Like, I just imagine waking up with zero followers, and I'm like, was it worth it? Or should I just been Hider Corey? It's not a lot. I'm not wrong, but. All right.

[Matt McCusker]

Well, dude, man, can't thank you enough, dude.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

We did it. We did it. I knew. I knew it would be rad.

[Corey Hyder]

You guys want to get out? You want to go Goodwill?

[Matt McCusker]

Let's go chill.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Let's go chill. Let's go walk the streets.

[Corey Hyder]

We're gonna this place up, dude.

[Matt McCusker]

[Corey Hyder]

Hider Corey. Blue Collar Corey Corey Corey. Mega Hider Corey.

[Matt McCusker]

Mega Hider.

[Corey Hyder]

That's on Facebook. That's my own personal Facebook. Because Instagram was like, yo, start a Facebook. And I was like, I have a Facebook. So I grew my own personal Facebook with like all the pictures I didn't want to have in social media and all that. I was like, it. We'll just grow it. And I grew it to 80, 000. They're like, oh, we meant a page, not a profile. I was like, you piece of. So that's why. Yeah, dude, that's why I grew that page. Blue collar Corey and bro, I killed it though. Two months. First month I had 130 million views.

[Matt McCusker]

That's crazy. It's awesome.

[Corey Hyder]

For just being a dick wad from the hood. That's. That's insane.

[Matt McCusker]

It is awesome.

[Corey Hyder]

Literally.

[Matt McCusker]

No, you gotta monetize. You gotta sell like a T shirt or something.

[Corey Hyder]

I know that's. We're working on it. I think there's a lot of avenues. I think honestly me and no boys are. I think Philip, your boy from Roughhouse are gonna.

[Matt McCusker]

Nice.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah, I think we're gonna get on. So I gotta do it. I'm just a. It's really. I don't mean to get down on it, but it's really hard for me to place a bet on myself.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Like legit. Like, it's just so instilled in my DNA. Like, bro, your last place, just make do with it. You know what I mean? Like, it's crazy and I don't know if amount of therapy or something can change that. And if it does, what if I'm not funny anymore? You know what I mean? Like, what if. Because you know how trauma takes it, right? We've. I'm sure you've experienced trauma. I know you had a child.

[Matt McCusker]

No, I think you just. I would just rock it. I would just keep rocking it, dude. Just let it rip. Let it rip. Don't second guess yourself. I know what you mean. It feels weird and it's like, it feels cocky.

[Corey Hyder]

I've never been cocky to pick up.

[Matt McCusker]

The thing is too. Is like what the it. You know, you know how to do it. If it doesn't work out, you're like, there's no.

[Nate]

You're just back to.

[Corey Hyder]

Yeah.

[Matt McCusker]

Back to square one.

[Corey Hyder]

Risk free. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I just like never quit working or like, you know, or never like leaned into it or went to like. I do stand up every once in a while, but the stand up scene in Pittsburgh is crazy.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Dude, I would like, I'd be like, I think this is like a AA meeting. I think an AA meeting's funnier than this.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah, they're open. Like ComEd is pretty as sad as it gets. That's one of the underworlds we mentioned. Desk sitting, desk jobs. That's an underworld. Mics are an absolute underworld. It was crazy.

[Corey Hyder]

I was talking to this one guy. I was like. I was like. So like we were talking. He's like, oh, I'm not even funny. And I was like, you're not funny. I was like, you're gonna do stand up. He's like, yeah, just, you know, I think some of these people, bro, they have a horrible social anxiety.

[Nate]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

And it's like cutting themselves, like. Like self harm, you know what I mean? That's their. I'm gonna go up on stage and just bomb. Oh, dude. And everyone's gonna hate me and it's gonna be that social fear in my head. But I'm gonna live it real. And at the end, it's gonna be over. It's gonna be the coming probably. You know what I mean? Just like there's people that hurt themselves.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

Or people that do weird things. It's just like, it's.

[Matt McCusker]

Yeah. It's up.

[Corey Hyder]

Bully me. I'm gonna come.

[Matt McCusker]

I mean, that'd be kind of sick if that worked. That'd be awesome. Yeah.

[Corey Hyder]

I mean, there.
