1:06

pope name you know oh yeah it's

1:08

That is upsetting that even if he

1:25

of us who know will know, you

1:27

know, and that that's something. We'll

1:29

still know that the guy's name was Pete

1:31

Zabala. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Trey

1:35

is right. We need to just

1:37

talk about like bro shit

1:39

and just be like, yeah, I was going to

1:41

say everybody. How about aliens?

1:43

They were real. You can be the

1:46

left Joe Rogan. No, no, I don't want to. I don't

1:48

want any of that. That's

1:50

scary as fuck. Do

1:55

you have any questions for us?

1:57

So many. Yeah, I've been

2:00

brewing with him my entire life. In fact, you know,

2:02

I don't know how much time you got. I think

2:04

I'd start with, why did you kill my dad? But,

2:06

you know, we don't know. Oh, yeah.

2:09

I wasn't with that. That was

2:11

me. Are you sure? Well, I mean,

2:13

yeah, I mean, I've just always assumed it was God.

2:15

I mean, it was cancer, and that is a true

2:17

purview, isn't it? And a God thing. Or

2:19

is that the devil? Did the devil do that? Yeah,

2:22

let's believe Satan for that one. OK.

2:25

Yeah. Dastardly Satan. No, I'm just

2:27

I'm just kidding around. I mean, yeah, you

2:29

know, it's sort of not. Sure. I

2:31

mean, you know, awkward,

2:34

awkward. Yeah, I

2:38

mean, you nailed me to the wall

2:40

just then. I'm sorry. Yeah, we

2:42

were just talking about how the Pope just

2:44

died. Your boy. Yeah. That was

2:46

a good move on your part, too. I

2:48

thought, uh, taking him on Easter, um,

2:51

kind of poetic. Yeah. Isn't that kind of

2:53

fun? I was right after JD Vance

2:55

met him too. It was perfect. Yes. Yes.

2:57

Which I doubt that's a coincidence. Probably

2:59

not. Oh, no. spent just a few, a

3:01

few choice minutes with him and was

3:03

like, I'm ready to get that. He didn't,

3:05

he didn't meet him at all. In

3:07

fact, that was the funny thing. No, they

3:10

met. Yeah, so

3:12

see I heard that too, but then

3:14

I saw a picture to be a

3:16

picture of JD standing like right in

3:18

front of the actual Pope, but I

3:20

heard that he I think JD was

3:22

over there for a couple days and

3:24

at first He refused to meet him

3:26

and the thing I saw said it.

3:29

He sent an envoy, you know

3:31

some sort of archbishop or cardinal or

3:33

some such to Admonish JD Vance for

3:35

you know not being down with compassion

3:37

and empathy for being a douche. Yeah,

3:39

I don't know how much of that

3:41

is true. But that's I read that.

3:43

And, you know, I read it on

3:45

the internet, didn't fact check it, which

3:47

is how I live my life. It's

3:49

appropriate for the I'm sure you I'm

3:51

sure you read the good sources, though.

3:54

Well, I don't know. You know, I

3:57

really haven't. I saw that story

3:59

pop up two different times on

4:01

Reddit. So that seems pretty. Oh, he's

4:03

very reliable. He's a Reddit guy.

4:05

Yeah. Yeah. I'm a lurker just

4:07

so people know I don't I don't

4:10

I'm not in the comments. I

4:12

don't actively participate. Me too. But

4:14

I also but I also love the reddit. Yeah.

4:17

No, I've been I've been

4:19

around. I've been lurking in the

4:21

those depths of the internet

4:23

for I don't even know 10

4:25

plus years or something like

4:27

that. Well, the internet is very

4:29

much in agreement that JD Vance is responsible

4:31

for the death of the Pope. And I

4:33

think we should all lean into that. I

4:35

didn't even know that this had happened. Yeah.

4:38

Until I jumped into this live and Jesus

4:40

was all sad. And I'm like, what are you

4:42

sad about? And he's like, are you kidding? Somebody

4:45

said on threads, I don't know if JD

4:47

Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should

4:49

deport him to El Salvador just in case.

4:51

I mean, the timing is very, very, I mean,

4:54

he was there with the Pope. He

4:56

met the Pope on 420. On Easter? Yeah.

4:59

Mm -hmm. For like six, seven minutes.

5:01

There's a quick little meeting. Just for the

5:03

photo op. I mean, that's all it would

5:05

take. I mean, if you're at Death's door

5:07

already, and then JD Vance

5:09

shows up, he's just the guy

5:12

that ushers you to the grave. Yeah,

5:14

off the mortal coil, into the

5:16

abyss forever. I

5:19

am curious about, because I thought

5:21

I've been a godless haven my

5:23

whole life, really. Really,

5:27

I kind of grew up a religious

5:29

is what I is what I say

5:31

meaning like I'm not like fervently anti

5:33

like I know there's a lot of

5:35

people I've known a lot of atheists

5:37

and stuff in my time and I

5:39

found that a lot of them tend

5:42

to be Not universally, but a lot

5:44

of them have been like Traumatized by

5:46

you guys you guys being God and

5:48

Jesus and just Hey, wait a minute.

5:50

Wait a minute by the church. Yeah,

5:52

there we go And so they're pretty

5:54

militant And I just kind of just

5:57

grew up out mostly outside of all

5:59

of I went to church a little

6:01

bit when I was a younger kid,

6:03

but not even that much. And by

6:05

the time I was like 10 years

6:07

old, even I just wasn't going anymore.

6:09

So that's basically where I've been on

6:12

the whole time. I'm totally cool with

6:14

this. And Jesus has a look on

6:16

his face. Like he is disappointed. I'm

6:18

bracing. I'm bracing for where

6:21

the story is going. But I'm

6:23

trying. So that's, I'm not

6:25

militantly anti -religious, but that's, but I'm

6:27

not, you know, not super

6:29

churchy either. And like a lot

6:31

of people who would put themselves on

6:33

the left, this pope who just

6:35

died seemed pretty cool to me. You

6:38

know, the overall, you

6:40

know, overall, as far as

6:42

popes go, and I'm

6:44

certainly better than the last one. Right. Well,

6:46

and I'm just wondering if they're gonna

6:48

like course correct as it were. He seemed

6:50

to be among the more Christ -like popes

6:52

that I can remember. So I figure

6:54

they probably are gonna have to nip that

6:56

in the bud. Now that he has

6:59

died, they can get another fire and brimstone

7:01

lunatic in there. But I don't know

7:03

what they're gonna do. I'm not privy to

7:05

the inner workings of the Catholic Church.

7:07

No, I was just sort of worrying about

7:09

that myself. I was kind of one

7:11

of the first things I thought about when

7:13

Jesus told me. The next one again

7:15

is going to be some crazy, crazy

7:18

hard right guy, right? Because

7:20

there's always those those forces

7:22

behind the scenes. But

7:24

we'll see. We don't know. One

7:27

of them. uh at least i don't

7:29

know how i don't know how

7:31

right or left wing he is generally

7:33

all i know about him is

7:35

that his name is pizza ball uh

7:37

so uh that's fun huh among

7:39

the most okay spaghetti spaghetti five names

7:42

i've ever heard in my life

7:44

uh wait what is that his last

7:46

name pier but pier but he's

7:48

the pizza ball uh this is me

7:50

it's spelled like It the dish

7:52

like Pete P. I. Z. Z. A.

7:55

B. A. L. L. A. Pizza ball. All

7:58

right. He's one that

8:00

I am endorsing. Yeah. No,

8:02

me too. Automatically. Yes. Jesus,

8:05

Jesus, three for three. Three. Yeah,

8:07

I'll I'll jump in. All

8:09

right. Well, Trey, first of

8:12

all, welcome to the God pod. I've

8:14

been the biggest fan

8:16

since oh, man, since

8:18

forever. You started, you know, getting big. We

8:21

had your friend Corey Ryan

8:23

Forrester on the podcast a couple

8:25

times, circa 2020. He's

8:27

also badass, funny as hell kind

8:29

of guy. And we're just pleased

8:31

to punch that you're here with

8:33

us today. Yeah. And you,

8:35

you have a second special that was

8:37

released recently, right? Trash Daddy. That's

8:39

right. Jesus. Trash Daddy. It's out

8:41

on YouTube right now. So, you know, you

8:44

look it up and check it out. Yeah.

8:46

And then there's another, there's an old one

8:48

on there too from a few years ago,

8:50

a few years ago called Damn Boy. So

8:52

two total. And then I've got my

8:54

podcast and stuff that I do as

8:57

well. But, you know, just, what's that called?

8:59

Well, there's a couple that putting on

9:01

you mentioned Corey me and Corey have a

9:03

podcast together called putting on airs where

9:05

we talk about like fancy shit. So

9:08

like this week, we will

9:10

definitely be talking about Pope stuff

9:12

because, you know, because the

9:14

Pope is very fancy, very

9:17

good shoes, very opulent

9:19

or Nate surroundings. And

9:21

he's got that little

9:23

that little Dust

9:25

ball scepter thing. Oh,

9:27

yeah. Bless people. Yeah. Yeah.

9:30

Yeah, which I don't know what's in there, but,

9:33

uh, you know, drugs special.

9:35

So kind of pretty sure. I'm pretty sure

9:37

pizza ball doesn't stand a chance now that

9:39

I think about it because of his name.

9:42

You think it's too cool. What the thing

9:44

is, you know, I mean, obviously, as

9:46

you know, they'll just they'll give him a

9:48

pope name. You know, oh yeah, it's

9:50

like a king or something like you. Oh,

9:52

you get a new name. Yeah. Even

9:54

if you get pizza ball. It's not going

9:56

to be Pope pizza ball. They're going

9:58

to change it. No matter what. Which is

10:00

some bully or some shit. Yes. And

10:02

that is that is upsetting that even if

10:04

he gets it. But, you know, still

10:06

those of us who know will know, you

10:08

know, that that's something that we still

10:10

know that the guys know you you know,

10:13

right, right. I don't know how they pick the pope

10:15

names, but that's definitely a thing that they they

10:17

do. I think maybe the new pope gets to pick

10:19

their own pope name. It's like he picks his

10:21

own name. He picks his own name after he gets

10:23

elected. Yeah, I'm checking in with chat now. How's

10:26

it going, chat? Welcome

10:28

in. How cool is it? God

10:30

and Jesus here talking to Trey

10:32

Crowder on Substack Live. And

10:35

yeah, it's just crazy. I

10:37

knew that we would be

10:39

talking to you. the day

10:41

after Easter 420, you know,

10:43

where Jesus smoked a bunch

10:45

of blunts with the Easter

10:47

Bunny. I didn't know it

10:49

would also involve the fact

10:51

that the Pope took a

10:53

massive bong rip with JD

10:55

Vance and died. Allegedly.

10:57

Who could have foreseen? I

11:00

mean, again, some would say

11:02

you could have. But me,

11:04

yes, I couldn't have possibly

11:06

seen that coming. But yeah.

11:10

Yeah, why the Pope be able

11:12

to pick his own name? You know what I mean? Stripper

11:14

picked their own stripper name. We'll

11:17

be right back after these messages.

12:51

how was your Easter? How was your

12:53

420? I'm gonna be completely honest

12:55

with you guys. Neither of those holidays

12:57

means overly much to me for

13:00

very different reasons. I already mentioned up

13:02

top about my relationship

13:04

with the church or the lack

13:06

thereof. I have two sons.

13:08

They are 12 and 13. When

13:10

they were younger, like,

13:13

which is to say young enough to

13:15

be dumb enough to believe that a

13:17

giant anthropomorphic rabbit was hiding colorful eggs

13:19

in their yard for some reason. And

13:21

they were so happy, right? We used to

13:23

do that. But I mean, that ended years

13:25

ago. What age did that

13:27

end at? I mean, I

13:30

don't know. Like I said, they're 12

13:32

and 32. I'd say eight or nine.

13:34

Eight. Oh, that's sad. But

13:37

then

13:40

420, that... I'm

13:42

not super into anymore

13:44

because the older I've gotten,

13:46

the more assured it

13:48

has become for me that

13:51

if I partake in

13:53

any marijuana intake whatsoever, I

13:55

will shortly be, as I term

13:57

it, communing with the void. I

14:00

exclusively lose my mind

14:03

when I smoke weed

14:05

anymore. I end

14:07

up in the fetal position questioning every

14:09

decision that I've ever made and remembering. agonizing

14:12

things from middle school. And

14:14

it's never just like, when I first

14:16

started smoking weed when I was, you know,

14:18

teenager. And it was

14:20

like, part of it I blame on

14:22

these weed scientists and they're out of control.

14:26

too strong now. Yeah, way too strong. Because

14:28

like when I first started, you know,

14:30

20 years ago as a teenager, it was

14:32

like, yeah. weird. Yeah, it

14:34

was, yeah, just. I think the

14:36

first weed ever smoked literally came

14:38

out of a massive garbage bag

14:40

that a buddy of mine found

14:42

in a field. A

14:44

garbage bag of weed in a

14:46

field. come you can't get that

14:48

at a dispensary? Where are the

14:50

coke cans with a little, you

14:52

know, turn into a pipe for

14:54

you? Hauling out apples and stuff.

14:56

But back then, you know, I

14:59

would smoke some weed and like...

15:01

put on headphones and listen, listen to

15:03

like slash solos and, you know,

15:05

would almost, would almost have a seizure

15:08

from, but from rocking out too

15:10

hard, you know, feel like I would

15:12

feel like I was going to

15:14

lose control with how awesome everything was.

15:16

Or watch November rain, watch November

15:18

rain. Sure. Watch, you know, Quentin Tarantino

15:20

movies or Darren Aronofsky, you know,

15:23

movies, just or whatever, just sit around

15:25

with your buddies, making fart jokes,

15:27

anything. was just better on

15:29

weed, which is a stereotype about

15:31

it. But as I got older

15:33

and we got stronger, both things

15:35

happen. But that just that just

15:37

went away for me. So I

15:39

can't. Good for you. I'm a

15:41

big supporter of it philosophically. Like,

15:43

of course, I think it should

15:46

be legal and all that, but

15:48

it's just not for me personally.

15:50

That's I agree with you, Trey.

15:52

What does it say on that

15:55

poster behind you? What is that?

15:57

says from Dixie with love. That

15:59

was the name of a comedy

16:01

tour that I There's Corey right

16:03

there, Corey Grime Forster. So it

16:05

was a tracrider Corey Grime Forster.

16:07

And then the third member of

16:09

our little well read clan, Drew

16:11

Morgan. This is right from a,

16:13

we used to all three tour

16:15

together. It called the well read

16:17

comedy tour. And this was an

16:19

iteration of that. And it's just

16:21

my favorite. poster. Yeah,

16:23

I just like it looks badass. And also

16:25

it says from Dixie with love. So it's

16:27

like on brain. It kind of makes sense.

16:29

So that's why I was the comedy world

16:31

these days and stand up comedy. People are

16:33

going out and enjoying that or weird. Well,

16:36

I mean, in

16:39

a macro sense, it's weird for

16:41

me for a lot of reasons.

16:43

But like, as far as

16:45

like my tour and my shows and my fans

16:47

and all that, it's all lovely.

16:49

It's fun. You know, I just did. 10

16:52

shows in five days in Oregon

16:54

last week Eugene and Portland And

16:56

they were all packed and everybody

16:58

was great and it was a

17:00

lot of fun and people are

17:03

still laughing and it's like and

17:05

I've got a bunch of like,

17:07

you know Lefty fans, but they're

17:09

not like too existentially terrified to

17:11

laugh not yet anyway, so So

17:13

that all is going okay, but

17:15

in a macro sense, it's like

17:17

it's really weird this whole like

17:19

Right word shift of the stand

17:21

-up comedy. Well, I just saw

17:23

and I gotta say I gotta

17:25

be honest the first time I

17:28

ever saw you it was on

17:30

of course the Bill Mara show

17:32

right on HBO like circa Was

17:34

that 2005? I don't know now

17:36

now now 2016 2016 it was

17:38

only oh damn My brain anyway,

17:40

I saw you there. I was

17:42

like who is this guy? Right.

17:44

He is the best guest Bill

17:46

Maher has ever had. And of

17:48

course, I've stopped watching Bill Maher

17:50

long. I don't know. stopped having

17:52

me on there, too. Yeah. And

17:55

he's on Substack now and he

17:57

posted or whatever. He's got his

17:59

podcast. He just

18:01

interviewed Charlie Kirk. Right.

18:04

And is like, yeah. And he's talking about

18:06

how he met Trump and that he doesn't

18:08

hate him and the blah, blah, blah. It's

18:10

like, yeah, you if you meet anybody in

18:13

person, you can be like, huh. They're

18:15

a human being. Oh, no, they seem kind of

18:17

nice. No big deal. Yeah. But I mean, are

18:19

you just you're just going to throw out everything

18:21

that they do? OK. Yeah. Yeah,

18:23

I don't get. I mean, I don't

18:25

know. On the one hand, I'm like, it

18:28

makes all the sense in the

18:30

world that Bill Maher has done that

18:32

because, again, the rap, it's become

18:34

a very lucrative path to take in

18:36

the comedy world. And anybody can

18:38

see that. There's been plenty, plenty of

18:40

other comedians who have, like, very

18:42

overgone, attempted to, well, yeah. That

18:45

some of them to great success,

18:47

but I'm saying there's been plenty

18:49

that have like attempted it and

18:51

can't really pull it off or

18:53

haven't been able to like really

18:55

capture that but that's sad tried

18:58

you sold out and it still

19:00

didn't work, but But but with

19:02

bill more though at the same

19:04

time. It's like he's had a

19:06

popular show on TV on two

19:08

different networks Yeah, just still base

19:10

basically the same show for 30

19:13

plus years 32 33 years. It's

19:15

like He doesn't need, he's very

19:17

famous. very rich. He

19:19

millions upon millions. So that

19:21

makes me kind of have

19:23

no other choice, but to

19:25

assume he is like legit

19:27

about this philosophical shift of

19:30

his or whatever that's happening.

19:33

But I don't, you

19:35

know, to me, it's wild. But yeah,

19:37

I think the only reason he's had a

19:39

show this long is because like the

19:41

execs love him or something. Because

19:43

does he really get, I

19:45

guess he gets good ratings. I

19:47

think it does. That David

19:49

Zas love guy from HBO or

19:51

whatever it's called. He's really

19:53

big Trump supporter too, right? Right.

19:56

But he, you know, for a long time,

19:58

Bill Maher was like, not, I

20:00

mean, I watched that show for years way before I was

20:02

ever on it. I watched it and it was like, very

20:04

good. Right. And it's,

20:06

but I think he, I think he

20:08

would say, I'm sure his position on

20:10

it would be that. I mean, I

20:12

shouldn't put words in his mouth. I'm

20:14

still going to him. I didn't come

20:16

here to tell you. Sure. He would

20:18

say that he that, you know, he

20:21

hasn't changed at all. It's that the

20:23

leftist change around him is probably what

20:25

he would say. But I don't see

20:27

how that how that amounts to talking

20:29

to fucking Charlie Kirk and people like

20:31

that, you know. Oh, yeah. They

20:34

still his panels are still

20:36

pretty good. He gets good.

20:39

You still watch Jesus. I I do.

20:41

I don't agree with them all the

20:43

time, including, of course, with going to

20:45

be Trump. By the way, just

20:47

this morning, Larry David

20:49

posted... a guest essay in

20:51

the New York Times

20:53

titled My Dinner with Adolf.

20:56

Oh, really? He's talking about how

20:58

he met Adolf Hitler and came

21:00

to like him, which it was

21:02

clearly a Saturday or more. Nice.

21:05

I heard David. He's

21:07

legit, obviously. I'll have to read

21:09

that. I did not know that it happened. Yeah, just this

21:11

morning. Thank you, Jesus. My dinner with

21:13

Adolf. You know, wow, the state

21:15

of comedy. I didn't invite you

21:17

here, obviously, to just talk shit about

21:19

Bill Maher or whatever. But it is

21:21

it is really great to get your

21:24

take on it because it is current.

21:26

And, you know, it's it's sad. It's

21:28

sad that there are people who are all

21:30

bending the knee. Man, their knees

21:32

are so bendy. Mm hmm.

21:34

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It's

21:37

like I said, but not you, though. No,

21:39

I just I couldn't. I

21:41

don't know. I mean,

21:44

He's a real one Jesus. This is

21:46

why we bless you. This is why

21:48

you're here not even trying to like

21:50

jerk myself off about it. I just

21:52

make that sincerely I could not Stomach

21:54

doing something I know I know also

21:56

also like I also genuinely believe that

21:58

even if I did make the choice

22:00

to back, you know what? Fuck it.

22:03

I'm gonna do a heel turn and

22:05

try to catch in on this like

22:07

right winged grift or whatever. Which you

22:09

never even if I did make that

22:11

decision like I don't think that I

22:13

could I Don't think it would work

22:15

because it would be I'd be faking

22:17

that like I'm not faking anything that

22:19

I'm doing now And I think that

22:21

people would see that would yeah, I

22:23

am now as authentic that would not

22:25

be authentic And so I don't think

22:27

it would work anyways like you said

22:29

earlier. It's very that's very set again

22:31

I would I would never even try

22:33

but there's nothing sadder then making

22:35

that decision trying and having that not work and

22:37

then you failed that too and it's like

22:39

so there's just it's just not on the car

22:41

but you could never because it's not in

22:43

your heart and then what's sad is that there's

22:45

a price to be paid for telling the

22:47

truth isn't there i'm in the i mean in

22:49

the comedy world i don't know i should

22:52

they may not have anything to do with that

22:54

they're just i have you know the cut

22:56

the way to talk about it it's okay no

22:58

it's all right i don't mind talking about

23:00

it it's just again it's just we i just

23:02

never saw it coming the way that like

23:04

Because my whole life growing up, people

23:06

used to ask the question all

23:09

the time. They'd be like, are

23:11

there any funny, are there any

23:13

conservative comedians? People used to ask

23:15

that. Literally, are there any?

23:17

And it'd be like, well, I guess post

23:19

9 -11, Dennis Miller maybe, and there's like one

23:21

or two others. We'll be right

your shot at And

25:30

then there's that other real

25:32

true Southern comedian who is

25:34

always like, you know, get

25:36

it done. He's he's

25:38

from the South, right? Isn't he? He's

25:40

not going to the school. Dan

25:43

Whitney is, I think, from Nebraska originally

25:45

and does not talk like that.

25:47

But but he. Well,

25:49

he got huge. He

25:51

didn't do politics stuff. He did

25:53

like Hillbilly Blackface or whatever. But

25:56

like, yeah. And he,

25:58

he pandered in that way, but

26:00

he didn't, uh, it wasn't like

26:02

political though. And so there were

26:04

no really like this through. There

26:06

were no really like prominent, uh,

26:08

you know, politically conservative comedians

26:11

for a very long time.

26:13

And then now like objectively

26:15

the biggest ones in the

26:17

world, the biggest comedians that

26:19

there are. are

26:21

aligned with, you know, with the

26:23

right politically. And I just,

26:25

I'm a huge comedy nerd. Dave

26:28

Chappelle, right? Would be Juan Jo Rogan

26:30

and Dave Chappelle. See, that's what the

26:32

world thinks. And for me, it's like

26:34

number one is like Trey Crowder and

26:36

Bill Burr. Well, Bill

26:38

Burr is, I am not. Putting

26:41

politics aside, I'm nowhere near the level

26:43

of those guys at this point. But

26:45

Bill Burr is and he is he

26:47

is the one. He's like a bulwark

26:49

out there. Put, you know, pushing,

26:52

pushing back against it, which

26:54

I very much, very much appreciate.

26:56

Yeah. But, uh, yeah,

26:58

I was a comedy nerd my

27:00

whole life. And like, I, you

27:02

know, before I even started doing

27:04

it and I just, I never

27:06

ever would have anticipated this happening.

27:09

I do think that. You know

27:11

like everything does in this country.

27:13

I think eventually it'll swing back

27:15

the other direction Yeah, well, mean

27:17

I mean with comedy specifically like

27:19

because I think that you know

27:21

when I was a kid a

27:23

kid like a young adult like

27:25

a teenager and a young adult the

27:28

coolest shit in the world was like

27:30

the Daily Show and the Colbert Report

27:32

like people were smoking weed and watching

27:34

that in dorm rooms and stuff. But

27:38

now, you know,

27:40

there's all this talk about like young men

27:42

and shit like that. Now,

27:45

it's all about UFC.

27:47

UFC is the heart of

27:49

darkness. If you're comedian, you

27:51

go to UFC, you bear a hug

27:53

with like Rogan and Trump or whatever,

27:56

and then, you know, And that shit's

27:58

like cool to these guys to got

28:00

20 year old dudes now that's like

28:02

this is like the cool dude, you

28:04

know that uh and and I just

28:06

think that but you know that when

28:08

I was a kid it was the

28:11

George Bush era and all that shit

28:13

and they were pushing back against that

28:15

and I think that we're getting pretty

28:17

hardcore with uh this era in terms

28:19

of fashion fascism and that type of

28:21

thing and I think that um There

28:23

will be a, you know, push

28:26

back against it and turn it like

28:28

culturally or whatever, I think. Just

28:30

because of the contrarian nature of young

28:32

people and shit. And I think,

28:34

yeah, it's just, you

28:36

know, obviously Democrats are terrible

28:38

at messaging and coalescing

28:40

and all that shit. That

28:42

the right, you know, where's the

28:44

Democrats UFC thing that they can bear

28:46

hug around? What would it

28:48

be? I don't know. That's what I'm saying. I

28:51

don't know what it is. it be for Democrats? And

28:53

don't say tennis. Right. You

28:56

know, like, when are

28:58

they going to start like pulling together

29:00

their forces and they just, I don't

29:02

know that they care. is the thing,

29:04

right? It's like, it does need

29:06

to, it seems like it does need to be

29:08

kind of Trojan Horst, like in a way

29:10

where it's like, you need something

29:12

that, that young people can

29:14

like get into. The

29:17

UFC, yeah, I get it. It's

29:19

like, oh, this is bad school. Something

29:21

that they can get into that's

29:23

not explicitly, you know, political in nature.

29:26

Right. But when they go there, the rest

29:28

of the community, the people that are around

29:30

that and the people who watch it and

29:32

everything, it's like, is more, you know.

29:34

It's like new church. Left -leaning or something. It's like

29:36

a community that pushes you in that direction. Because that's

29:38

what it, because like, Joe Rogan, like I was

29:41

a huge fan of Joe Rogan for a very long

29:43

time, too, because like. He

29:45

made his bones as a podcaster

29:47

talking about fucking aliens and Bigfoot

29:49

and monkeys and shit, you know,

29:51

and like, I loved all that at the

29:54

time, like in my twenties and stuff. Again,

29:56

I hadn't given up on weed yet. And

29:58

I just, you know, and I love those

30:00

kind of like pseudo -intellectual bro science conversations. Like,

30:02

I love that shit. And that's like all

30:04

of a sudden they slide in and how

30:06

about fascism up? Exactly. Right. And

30:08

that's what happens. And so I'm saying. If there is

30:10

going to be any kind of, and

30:12

I don't think it can really be a coordinated effort

30:15

either, because I think people will probably see through

30:17

that. But if everybody somebody like left needs a Joe

30:19

Rogan or some kind of equivalent, I

30:21

think it's going to have to be something

30:23

like that where it's like, it's,

30:25

you know, the, the,

30:27

the messaging or the politics

30:29

or whatever is not. That's

30:31

not the main draw like it has

30:34

to be a trojan horse. I get it

30:36

I get to sing Trojan horses in

30:38

there because if you think about it, that's

30:40

really what happened with I mean using

30:42

Joe Rogan as an example but also like

30:44

the UFC again when you have see

30:46

first started getting big I've watched that

30:48

I was in college at the time loved

30:51

it if they hadn't gotten explicitly political

30:53

yet then either but it's like people go

30:55

to that because they're like you

30:57

know, testosterone ridden 22 year old bros and

30:59

they like to watch other dudes be the shit

31:01

out of each other and watch it with

31:03

their buddies and drink beer and yell at

31:06

the TV and that type of shit. But

31:08

then they get into it and everybody's

31:10

associated with it is, you know, on the

31:12

right or far right. And so they just

31:14

get pulled in that direction before they ever

31:16

even really conscientiously think about it. Sometimes, I

31:18

think. And in other times, they're like

31:20

that to begin with. But I don't know.

31:22

I just I think you're right on the

31:24

money. I have sons, you know. At

31:27

a very delicate age, they might start

31:29

to get roped in. And what do you

31:32

do? How do you stop that? You

31:34

just tell them you can,

31:36

right? Right now, we're watching that Netflix show,

31:38

Adolescents. You heard about

31:40

that show? Oh, very good show,

31:42

yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm watching that with

31:44

them, like very pointedly, you

31:46

know, like made the decision to

31:48

make them watch it with me, in

31:50

part because of... whole type of

31:52

thing, because yeah, that's basically what that

31:54

shows about. And the main kid

31:57

in that show is 13 and all

31:59

of a sudden, 13. You know

32:01

what, Trey is right. We need to

32:03

just talk about, like, bro shit

32:05

and just be like, what's up everybody?

32:08

How about aliens? They were real. You can be

32:10

the left Joe Rogan. No, I don't want

32:12

to. I don't want any of that. That's

32:14

scary as fuck. Yeah,

32:16

but you can be the good version. That's not scary.

32:19

Well, but you're not sure about one thing.

32:21

No, I mean, I know what you

32:23

mean sometime I mean he's I've also I've

32:25

always thought that there's a certain level

32:27

of fame and I don't know where you

32:29

draw the line but where I think

32:32

it would be for me personally kind of

32:34

torturous but the way I But the

32:36

way I understand Rogan lives his life though.

32:38

He's got his fucking compound in Texas

32:40

Like oh, yeah, he doesn't leave it except

32:42

to do very specific He'll go to

32:44

his own club or he'll go out to

32:46

a show or whatever and he's surrounded.

32:48

He's got his body guards and shit. He's

32:50

not ever You know, I don't know.

32:52

He's very much curated his own existence to

32:54

hit for him, which sucks. Of

32:56

course he is. I'll just say

32:58

that we're down. We're with you,

33:00

man. You're on your team.

33:03

Well, anything you want to say the

33:05

word. And if you want someone to

33:07

die for you, Jesus. Yeah,

33:09

I just did that the

33:11

other day. I'm good. I'm good

33:13

on dying human shield. Jesus.

33:18

So close to Easter give me

33:20

a few weeks to recover from

33:22

this Easter and all Jesus sacrificed

33:24

every single year I was gonna

33:26

ask how you're a you know

33:29

what Easter is like for you

33:31

these days Jesus. It's a lot.

33:33

It's a lot my holes hurt.

33:35

I mean, I we were live

33:37

streaming Friday and I was hanging

33:39

from the cross the entire broadcast.

33:43

And look, this is what happens.

33:45

God laughs. He laughs at my

33:47
