My co-host is coming at you from right next to me.
Slightly amused this week.

Saj, RU Garbage.
Gang, we couldn't be more excited to have our incredibly, and I mean incredibly
special guest,
here with us today for the first time.
He is a very funny, very successful stand-up comedian and podcaster.
Rising star on the comedy scene.
Yes.
One of the stars of that Kill Tony universe over there that just keeps getting
bigger and bigger.
You can hear him every week on the William Montgomery Show.
But the big question in my mind today, is he garbage?
I don't know if it's a big question.
Sometimes you've got to go away for a home game.
Give it up for Casey Rocket, everybody.
Hey.
Wee-wee-wee.
Thank you.
There he is.
Happy to be here.
12.30, just rolled out of bed.
In his finest DX shirt.
Business as usual.
I was happy to hear that you are a CEO.
You're a businessman.
That gives me comfort.
Sure, yes.
I'm also a businessman of sorts.
In what sense?
What type of work do you do?
Ventures.
Here and there.
Not capitals, just ventures.
Just ventures.
I'm working up to capitals.
And it's been the best summer ever.
And I'm happy to be here.
That's great.
And it's only winter.
It's the middle of winter.
Pretty cool.
I don't know much.
I'll be honest with you.
Bit of a mystery.
Give us the backstory.
Give me the whole thing.
Southern boy.
No.
Is that true?
I was born in Normal, Illinois.
Bloomington, Normal, Illinois.
Okay.
On a day just like today.
Scared yet?
Scared yet?
And I, but I was raised in Georgia.
I spent my whole life in Georgia.
Okay.
So yeah, North Georgia, kind of rural area.
When did you guys pull out of Illinois?
As a baby?
When I was about four years old.
About four years old.
Yeah.
Brothers, sisters?
I had, at the time when I was born, I had an older sister.
Okay.
She's alive.
I don't know why I said it.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
But at the time, and at the current time.
Two minutes in here.
At that time, and at this time, I had an older sister, and she's four years
older than me.
And then now I have two half brothers.
Okay.
So they are 18 and 16.
When you guys moved to Georgia, did your parents split up?
Is that why you moved?
Yes.
Well, they split up when I was like seven.
So they were together for a couple years after we moved down there.
Okay.
Yeah.
And who'd you live with?
Back and forth.
Back and forth.
Was it close?
The houses?
Relatively.
Okay.
Relatively.
20 minutes.
30 minutes.
Was it civil?
Yeah.
Did your parents get along?
They okay?
No.
Next question.
Not in the slightest.
That's what we were looking for, baby.
It was messy.
It was a bloodbath.
That's where I got my keen business sense.
That's where I learned my ventures.
Both ends against the middle.
They don't negotiate with each other.
But yeah, so I was a child, and that was great.
Raised in rural Georgia.
Rural Georgia.
How rural were we talking about?
How many people were in the town?
It's a pretty good-sized town, but it was pretty rural.
It was, my mom is a horse trainer, so I grew up-
Okay.
No shit.
Yeah.
Like a, like racetrack?
Western pleasure.
So like show horses.
That sounds like a pornography.
Well, there's two styles of show horses.
There's English, which is like the little black hat and the chaps, right?
Very proper in the crop, and they do jumping, and it's called dressage.
That's expensive stuff.
That's rich people shit.
Yeah.
But then Western pleasure is like cowboy horses, so everyone, they're show
horses, so you dress
like a cowboy.
It's basically like make-believe, and then you show these real nice horses with
real nice
lineages, and she would help to train the horses.
Gotcha.
And do that at like shows.
It would be like a-
Yeah.
Gotcha.
We're always at the horse shows when I was a kid.
Strike number one.
Yeah.
I didn't enjoy it at the time, but I've grown to become fond of them.
Does she still do it?
Mm-hmm.
That's pretty good.
What was the house like, girl?
Was it a house, a condo, a townhouse?
My dad, when I was, when I would be at my dad's, it was like a house, like a
two-story
house, like a regular house.
But then my mom's house-
How many times you said house makes me think it was not a house?
It was totally a normal house, two-story house, two-story house, a house.
Tons of doors.
You guys would have loved it.
Driveway, everything, you know.
You guys would have loved it.
It was perfect.
But my mom's, we would move around all the time.
So sometimes we would be like in a camper.
Sometimes we would be like-
Why get the fuck out of here?
Yeah, like a real small camper.
Whoa.
And I burned it down on accident.
I was-
You already did it on purpose.
That's absolutely true.
I was lighting little fires in the sink and-
Why?
I guess I was just bored or I was angry.
I don't know.
I was really young.
Sure.
And then I couldn't, it got bigger than I anticipated.
Some things were burning.
Some things got out of hand.
And I grabbed the nearest thing and I poured it on it when it was nail polish
fluid.
And it fucking-
And I burned down our little home.
Who lived there?
Was it just you and her?
Just me and her.
I don't know where my sister was at that time.
But it was super small.
But that was like a pretty small portion.
That was like six months maybe.
And then-
Was the camper on like a site or were you just kind of popping up?
It was behind the barn.
So it was just out in the woods.
Behind the barn that she worked at?
Yeah.
Okay.
That she would rent, I guess.
Gotcha.
Doesn't even own the barn.
She's renting the barn.
Sure.
That makes sense though.
It's like some rich guy that owns the barn.
She's a horse trainer for it.
Sure.
Yeah.
All right.
And then we would move around.
We lived in a barn for a while.
Like a little apartment.
Sure.
And we all slept in the same bed.
What age are we talking there?
Maybe eight or nine maybe.
Wow.
Probably too old for that.
Is this when your parents were still together?
No, no, no, no, no.
Okay.
So it was you, your mom, and your sister?
Yeah.
Whoa.
What'd your dad do?
What does he do?
Yeah.
Business just like me.
Runs into family.
Took over the family business business.
I'm going to chip off the old block.
Suit and tie man, cup of coffee.
You look just like your old man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He like pitches products to Home Depot.
So people come to him with a product, and he's like the middle man.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Does he go and like do the show, like do the, like he's a, is he a pitch man?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
So he like sets up at, what do you call them, like conferences, and he'll have
his booth
with the products of the people.
And really try to push to like the buyers or whatever.
Yeah, like Lowe's, Home Depot.
So he's like a big breakaway from being like a Billy Mays.
He could pop like that.
Maybe.
I don't know the extent of, I don't know.
He's never really described it to me.
Yeah.
Because he doesn't, he does give like little presentations.
I've never been there, but.
Do you still talk to both of your parents?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
It seemed a little hesitant, but I can't get a read on this game.
I do.
I feel like I'm talking to Kaiser Soze over here.
Start talking in a British accent.
My mother's name was Couch Desk.
A great woman, had a house.
Couch Desk, a shoe knob.
So it's pretty cool.
How was school growing up?
It was fine.
I went to public school.
Okay.
Did you do well?
Were you a good student at all or no?
I can, not with the flyers in the camper.
I don't think you were.
I could see him being a smart guy though.
Relatively.
I mean, it came relatively easy to me, but I never like tried at it.
Like B's and C's.
That's pretty good.
Fair enough.
Not bad.
Sports?
Yeah.
Baseball.
My dad was my baseball coach.
Really?
All right.
A high school baseball coach.
He was, he pitched at Illinois State.
So he was a baseball player.
Okay.
And he was my rec baseball coach from when I was four to when I was 18.
So my whole life, he was my baseball coach.
Can he throw heat?
He was a curveball guy.
85, topped out at 85.
Had had some movement on it though.
A little bit of Western pleasure.
And what did you play?
What position?
Shortstop primarily, but I would move around.
I was a utility man.
Gotcha.
Chase Utley.
Yeah.
Shout out to Utley.
Played for the Blue Jays for a couple of seasons.
Yeah.
Tapered off towards the end there.
And did you do that in high school too?
Did you play for your high school team?
I didn't.
I only played rec.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just rec.
I was decent.
I never really tried at it though.
I love, I love, love baseball.
I'm a huge Cubs fan, but I never applied myself.
All right.
Yeah.
What did family vacations look like growing up?
Disney World.
Pretty good.
A couple times.
Is that mom or dad taking you there?
That was just when they were together.
So I have a memory of going there a couple of times.
And then never been on one with my mom.
She, we didn't have money to do that.
Sure.
Working single mom.
Yeah.
My dad, he took me a couple of times to a beach.
Yeah.
Like South Carolina.
A beach, a house, business.
Tried to pull away.
You're chasing the car.
I never think about this stuff.
Yeah.
He took me to a beach.
It sounds like you're making up an alibi on the spot.
Yes.
There was a beach in my father.
You guys would have loved it.
Did he get remarried?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's where the brother, the sibling, the half siblings come from.
Yeah.
They remarried when, he remarried when I was 10.
Yeah.
And did you get along with your stepmom and the family and all that kind of
stuff?
I did not when I was a kid.
It was very contemptuous.
Yeah.
Burned down houses.
Yeah.
What age did that happen?
Oh, you said 10.
I was 10.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
And then my mom remarried when I was 15, maybe.
All right.
Yeah.
Were you in that wedding?
Were you in either of those weddings?
I was in my dad's wedding.
Crab walking down the aisle.
Yeah.
But by the time my mom remarried, I was completely, I was gone on the tuss.
I was completely, I was high all the day, all the day, all the live long days.
On Robitussin.
On tuss and weed and tuss.
Wait, really?
You were doing Robitussin?
He was robo-tripping.
That's what I've heard about the man.
For a short period of my, from 14 to 15.
So for two years, I was doing that.
Really?
That's a pretty long period of
