Grammar
But, though
Hi.
I sometimes hear but and though in one sentence.
A: I like Charlie.
B: But you've never met him though?
I'm doing a dirty job but that doesn't mean I'm a bad guy though.
Are they grammatically correct?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, No, they are ungrammatical. What is more, it seems like an appalling style that I would refrain from using. Both but and though are words which contrast with a prior statement.
