My whole life growing up poor, rural Tennessee, whenever I heard others talk about white people, in my head that was always like Connecticut, yacht club, like, is that Dill? Like in white people, right? Like, like, white people. And I didn't know what I was,

but I knew I wasn't the same thing as them. And it was very confusing to me as a young man. Now that I'm an adult, it couldn't be more clear. I'm not white, I'm white trash. And it is different. It is different. There's a whole list of differences, like white people got a trust fund,

white trash people got trust issues. White people got a sister who's secretly a lesbian. White trash people got a sister who's secretly a lesbian. White trash people got a sister who's secretly their mama. White people play golf with their boss on the weekends. White trash people play scratch-offs with their rent money on payday. Different. On this episode of the Commercial Break. A lot of times the people in places like that who are on the other side or on the left or whatever, they just, they like never speak up and I don't blame them.

It's like you don't want to be the one that ruins Thanksgiving dinner or whatever or just gets yelled, gets ganged up on. So I get it, but I never had that problem when I was growing up. And what I've always chalked that up to is the other thing that was going on with me as a kid was that like, I was the smart kid in my school. And which I say now, I realize now looking back is like being the straightest guy to share concert, you know, it's not really that impressive, but I didn't know that. I had no frame of reference. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh yeah, cats and kittens.

Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the cohost of the show, Chris and Joy Holdley, best to you, Chris and Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us on a TCB Infomercial Tuesday with our friend Trey Crowder. Trey Crowder is a noted comedian

and a political commentarian, I guess is the best way to put that, known as the liberal redneck. And some of you will know his work and some of you will not. Some of know his work and some of you will not. Some of you will care and some of you won't. But I really think that Trey has got some important stuff to say, I've enjoyed his stuff for a long time.

So I'm glad that he is coming in. Trey is on the constant never ending standup tour as most comedians are. And he's a very popular one. Trey Crowder.com is where you can get tickets to any of his shows. He's also got a brand new special out on YouTube in his website called Trash Daddy. And I think he's got a couple of other things in the works. Maybe we'll get a chance to talk to him about that. But you know, listen, not everybody a huge fan when we choose to talk politics or bring people on who do talk politics.

But give it a chance. I'm not, we're not here to beat up anybody. We're just here to have a conversation. Absolutely. And I'm open to conversations on all sides of the aisle because I think that's what we need. We need to talk to each other about what, where we can find common ground. Like mountain monsters and Karl Lentz is an idiot. And you know, most churches are scams for money. I mean, let's just be honest about it. Most churches are scams for money. Frankie B. Frankie B.

Although Frankie's B seems to have gone away. I don't know where Frankie is. What's that? Got a girlfriend. I know, but he could make a video about something, about his diet, about his hair plugs, about something. I wish Frankie B. would make a video. I'm like almost tempted, almost tempted to write him

and say we're out of content to review, bro. Oh, what's going on? Give us something. We're out of content to review, give us something. While I've got you and before Trey gets here, I'll remind you that on May 31st, the 12 hours of TCB celebrating five years of the commercial break and 12 additional

episodes in mental health awareness month, which is of course May. We're going to do it on the last day of May because that's the kind of people we are. We wait till the very last minute to tell you about my mental health. That's how much we care about your mental health is that we'll wait till the last minute to get it all said and done. And no, this is for an important reason, and we're going to be raising money and awareness and talking to some celebrity guests about their own challenges and thoughts on mental health. And so we're super excited about this 12 straight episodes recorded that day that we will put

out. That's a Saturday. So we'll give you, we'll give you the right day. I hope there's no major sporting events or anything. Is there? I don't know. Not on May 31st. It's after Memorial Day. I will tell you that.

So don't worry, it's not a Memorial Day weekend. We did it the weekend afterwards so that we knew you would have plans. You can tune in driving back from your Memorial Day weekend. That's right. Whatever your vacation plans are, we'll give you three long days to digest all 12 hours of the commercial break. Don't ask me why. Don't ask. Wee!

Yeah, wee! It's going to be a lot of fun. Thank God we have five-hour energy here in the studio. Yeah, boxes of it. I think we'll need all of it to get through that 12 hours of TCB. So, Trey Crowder, treycrowder.com. That's where you find more information about Trey, all of his tour dates. There's a link to his special trash daddy up there. Let's do this. Why don't I know that this is a short intro, but you know, we don't always need to blab on forever. We do that. We'll do that on the 12 hours of TCB. How's that? So why

don't we take a break Chrissy now. And then we come back, through the magic of tele-podcasting, very popular, overnight, I say overnight, I'm sure there's some story behind that, but overnight sensation, Trey Crowder, will be here with us in studio. He's been on Bill Maher, he's been on MSNBC. I'm excited to talk to him. He's been on, in movies and documentaries,

and he's a hot commodity. Why he's showing up here, I have no idea. But maybe we'll ask him that too. Which agent are you going to fire after this appearance? All right, we'll take a short break and we'll be back. What do you think? I think we should do it. All right.

Hi, cats and kittens, Rachel here. Do you ever get the urge to speak endlessly into the void, like Brian? Well, I've got just the place for you to do that. 212-433-3TCB. That's 212-433-3822.

It's a new podcast from our partners at Odyssey that celebrates the rebels, the risk-takers, and the ones who make their own way. It's these people who often change the lives of the people around them and the world at large. And while in the moment it may be hard to see the force through the trees, those Rule

Breakers often define what it means to be a success. Each week, former wrestling superstar Serea sits down with the boldest voices in sports, entertainment, and beyond to talk about breaking barriers, defying expectations, and rewriting the rules. They're talking about it all, the fights, the failures, and the moments that changed everything. You can follow and listen to Rule Breakers with Suraia on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. And hear, hear to the Rule Breakers for keeping life interesting. Trey, thanks so much for your time today. How are you doing?

Welcome. I'm doing all right, all things much for your time today. How are you doing? Welcome. I'm doing all right, all things considered, hanging in there. What are all the things to consider? When you say that, what are all the things to consider? Just the general dissolution of society and everything. Yeah. The general breakdown of democracy. Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, that type of thing. We ain't got to just dive right into politics or nothing. I just mean, I feel like a good chunk of people

are generally feeling like things are not entirely great. Let's put it that way. It's like a, you know, it's a one way to put it. I agree. We've talked about it. It just feels soupy out there, right? It's just everybody feels a little bit on edge right now. Just like the general energy in the room.

If you like read the room, it feels like everyone's one step away from a nervous breakdown from the Starbucks. Even when you drive, it feels like people are just like getting aggressive for no reason. It feels weird. But let's start with the easy stuff. I agree with you.

90 Day Fiance is the greatest example of what is going on here in this country and how proud we should be as Americans of what is going on here in this country and how proud we should be as Americans of what we've built because so many beautiful men and women seem to want to hang on to dum-dums in this country just to get in the front seat. Yeah. Yeah, I've got a, yeah, there's a bit about that on my new special trash daddy because that's what I always thought.

Whenever I watched 90 Day Fiance with my wife, that was always the thing that like struck me the most about it was it made me feel like oddly patriotic or whatever because like, you know, you just watch these people, these like gorgeous people from, you know, all over the world who are just like, just attaching themselves to complete jabronis, you know, just loser, just so they can get into America. And it's like, man, people will go to great lengths to get into America. And that's got to be indicative of something. And I'm sure for a lot of those people in a lot of those places, even now that holds true. But it's funny, like that bit, the special that Bits on, I recorded it a few months ago.

And it like just came out and I've been feeling like, you know, I wonder how true that still is or feels now. Like I bet there's at least some of those people in some of those places are rethinking their decision to try to infiltrate over here. You know, my wife's listeners of the show will obviously know this, but my wife is Venezuelan. And like, when I say Venezuelan, like when I met her, she was living in Venezuela and then moved to Switzerland to get her master's degree. And I chased her around Europe for a couple months, brought her back to the United States. But when we first started watching that show, which kind of the beginning of that show coincided

with our own story, we were like, that resembles nothing like anything that we went through these people are I mean The chances of the success in their marriage is zero to minus seven on a good day Like it's just so clear that some of these people are ill-fitting and it makes for great television Well, you wonder how in the world they're gonna stay together, right? And I think they don't and I think that's a secondary concern to the producers of the show. You know, like they, they ensure they specifically select, uh, the, you know, the wildest pairings that they can, but since you have some personal experience, like, I don't even know the like foundational premise of that show.

Like, is that accurate? Like that, you know, the whole 90-day window thing and all that. Yes, it is. So there are multiple ways to bring your loved one, specifically someone you want to marry or you're married to, over to the United States. There are multiple paths to get there.

The 90-day visa is one of them. It's an option that can be considered. And you do have 90 days as the clock starts and it does take a process. There is a process by which you, I mean it's really strict you have to go by it, but that's not the process by which we accomplished being able to live together here in the United States. But that 90-day visa program is no joke and it's 90 days and you're out. And I've heard from other people if you do that 90 days and you don't get married,

your chances of getting back in the country and from some countries, even on a tourist visa are slim to none because they imagine you're coming in now just for other purposes, right, to be in. It's really, you know, it's such a stressful thing to go through when you fall in love with somebody from another country and you have to get lawyers involved. And so many people I would imagine

did not have the same resources that I did to like actually hire an attorney to walk you through the steps and all that. And you would think that it would just be a little bit easier that if you actually fell in love with somebody and the relationship was real and you could prove that to whoever you needed to prove to, that it would just be, you know, okay,

and I'll go on about your life, but it's not that way. It's an unduly stressful situation to go through. And luckily it worked out fine for us. We didn't have any drama. But so many of our friends and family members who have been through similar things have been through so much drama. And now today, 2025, I couldn't imagine going through. I couldn't. Yeah. Well, it's funny. I mean, I totally believe you, obviously. But I just always think about this buddy of mine. Now this was years ago. I mean, this is like 2005.

It's like 20 years ago. Uh, we were at 1920, 21, something like that at the time. And I had a friend that was in the military, joined the army and, uh, was, you know, not the sharpest tool in the shed, but a wild card. This guy, like he would get like a signing bonus and just like, like buy kayaks from gas stations that he would crash, crash into embankments immediately and he'd take like he'd rent cars and take them like off-roading and mudding and stuff, and then just bottom them out and get sued and

shit like that all the time. So, you know, not the soundest decisions, but I always remember he showed up when he didn't even tell us this was going to happen, he like came to a get together we were having or something with this, uh, this girl, none of us had ever met and she was from like Columbia or Bolivia or some, some South African guy or South American country. I can't remember. And it was totally out of the blue.

And he was like, he was like, Hey guys, this is my wife. And we were like, you're what? And he was just openly talking, discussing how like, he was like, yeah, so she gave me like 200 bucks, right? It was literally like $200 or something. He's like, she gave me like 200 bucks so we could get married so that she could have like a whatever, you know, a visa or green card, however it works.

Yeah. And it's like, and he was just talking about very casually and like shrugging it off and then I, you know, I, I, I never, and I don't think he, I don't know if he ever saw that girl again, like after that, but like, I, I'm assuming in retrospect, they probably were not doing it right. But like, the way he was like, I know, I mean, I know it was, I know it was like shady, but I mean, in terms of like even, you

know, accomplishing it properly, they probably were not, but it always just seemed like the way he, the way he presented it and the way I experienced it, it made it just seem like the most casual, ridiculous thing in the world. It was like, yeah, she gave me $200, we got married, now everything's, she got what she wanted, and then I don't care.

You know, here's the crazy thing, a similar story. When I was, I'm twice married, right after I got a divorce, I met a girl through some friends, and then we started like loosely dating, but she'd always come over to my house. I was never invited over there. And then one day she said, I said, well, why don't we swing by your house for something?

And she said, I feel like we're far enough along, like fourth date, I gotta tell you something, I'm married. And I thought to my, and she goes, but before you freak out, before you freak out, I'm married for the green card. And I go, for your green card? I thought, you know, and she was like, no, for this, for my husband's green card. And we'd lived together for appearances.

And I was like, oh, okay. I had no experience with this. I had no idea, but they lived together. They had businesses together. They had like a business together. They had bank accounts together. To give the appearance that all of this was real, he paid her bills and he got to stay in the country, essentially. Now, I understand this is 1000% illegal, right? And we didn't date for very long after that

because I got uncomfortable with the idea that her husband was in the house. But then later on in the, like, you know, two days later, she explained that that was not the first time that she had been married for those purposes. So I totally understand that there is fraud that happens, obviously, in this process, in this system. 90 Day Fiance, it's a really hard way to commit that. You know what I'm saying,

to commit that fraud? Like you would think if you're gonna go through all that drama to be on TV for 30 episodes of 90 Day Fiancé, there's some attraction, or at least the willingness to go through it there. But you know, it's flawed in a lot of ways, but at least for me, when I went through it, it being obviously it was kind of a light,

felt light for death for me. When I went through it, it felt very stressful and we had to, you know, have reams of documents and pictures and interviews and we, but we never got hassled to be fair to the immigration. We never got hassled. Everybody was always like, he seems like you have a beautiful start of a beautiful family, congratulations, you know, your, know, your visa is approved, which is like the biggest relief you can ever feel when you're in that situation is when an officer or someone

in charge says, you're good. And it's like, oh, thank God we can kind of rest. But, you know, I imagine that I always thought to myself, wouldn't Donald Trump just put a stop to that 90 day fiance show immediately? That felt to me like a place to start 90 day fiance show immediately. That felt to me like a place to start, like low hanging fruit for him. He hasn't attacked it yet though. Yeah, I don't know. Well, you know, he loves ratings and stuff.

Like he loves a hit. And even though it seems like antithetical to their whole general immigration philosophy, it's a TV show that people like. And so he probably thinks they're doing great work over there or whatever I would imagine. which I mean, from a TV perspective, you know, not that they're not, uh, there's like eight spin-offs or something. We get something to them.

Does your wife watch all of them? Does she watch all of them? No, we watch all, we just went through a little spell there where we were watching it, you know, um, I actually, it actually wasn't even her. It was, I was gonna, we, it's doesn't make any sense. We were trying to, we were trying to do a, uh, these, me and these two guys, other comedians, Corey and drew that I have a podcast with and collaborate with and stuff we were trying, we were doing these digital sketches for comedy

central at the time, and we were thinking about doing one that was, Drew had the idea to do one based on 90 Day Fiancé and I'd never seen it so to like watch it or to research it I mean I watched it and then ended up you know getting sucked into it yeah I got hooked a little bit and like watched the whole season or two or whatever and then we never even did that sketch by the way so So I just watched it just to watch it. You wasted 36 hours of your life. Well, I mean, the episodes too are like almost two hours. Yeah, it's too much. Yeah, it's too much. It's jump the shark. I'm done with it. But anyway, you have quite the career, Trey. I have to ask, I've been watching you for a long time and I really think you're very smart, very, very sharp.

And you've got a political flavor of comedy. In 2016, I think it's 2016, you kind of had this video go viral, right? Yeah, yeah. And what was that like? Because you kind of went from zero to a thousand overnight, I can't imagine. I mean, I know you probably have been doing comedy for some time, right?

I don't, I know that the night stories take a lot longer than one night, uh, night success stories, but what was that like to go through that in the moment? No, yeah, you're right. I mean, it was both of those things are true. Like I had started, I started stand up in 2010, uh, in Knoxville, Tennessee, where I was living at the time. And, uh, and I had been doing it for like, you know, six years or whatever. And it was going fine.

Like for all things considered, I lived in Knoxville and I had like a manager in LA and I'd gotten into this, uh, writer's development program that NBC had and all this stuff. So I was feeling pretty encouraged by it, but I was in, you know, complete anonymity. Like I had no following, no one, no, no one knew who I was or anything like that. Couldn't sell any tickets or nothing, but I still, you know, was pleased enough with how it was going. And then I, uh, decided to make these internet video at the time and stand up.

I was closing with this bit about the simplest thing, but it was basically just on a set list. If I wrote it out, I called it the liberal redneck bit, but I never said the words liberal redneck on stage. It was basically, I said, you know, everybody that hears this accent assumes I'm one type of person, like a Bible thumping troglodyte, because that's the only time you ever hear this accent in the media. It's that type of person. Yep. But I'm not that type of person. So I gotta, I gotta figure something out to try to like balance the scales.

I gotta find a way that I need to go out in public and, you know, be just as loud and redneck as they are, but just say a bunch of super liberal shit to like, you know, try to balance the scales. And then I would literally just scream a bunch of like really, really liberal political talking points, but in the most redneck fashion that I could. And it like, I closed with it. It always worked even in like, like small comedy clubs and like

Southern cities and stuff like that, like it always worked because it's wild to say now, but in that time, you know, 2015 ish into like, it wasn't as like charged. The politics is divided. Yeah. Right. So like people would, uh, there'd be plenty of people in the crowd who were like, they were conservative, but they would still laugh at that bit because it was just like, that's just a funny juxtaposition, you know, so it, like

it worked as a standup bit. And I had the idea to try to make like internet videos out of it. And, uh, at first I was like, ah, man, but you know, I'll have to buy a fancy camera. I'll have to figure out how to edit things and like, I don't know how to do any of that. And, uh, it just felt like a barrier to entry or something. Uh, and then one day I saw this, I saw this like preacher guy, like a deep South preacher somewhere in North Carolina, who was standing in the woods by a big truck, like just yelling in his phone about like, he was, you know, preaching fire and brimstone about the dangers of, you

know, trans transgender people using the bathrooms with their little girls and all this type of stuff. And it's like, not, not a dick joke inside. Wasn't funny at all. Just, just, you know, just spewing venom and it had like 20 million views or something like that on Facebook amongst like, you know, people on the right, obviously, but when I saw that I was like, you know, people on the right, obviously. But when I saw that I was like, oh wow, okay. Like I don't, if that guy doing that thing, like if that's what I'm

trying to, you know, like make fun of or whatever, then I don't need to do anything fancy about it. In fact, that would be a mistake. Like it would, that would be the wrong thing to do. Like I should just do exactly what this guy does. I should just pull my phone out and yell at it. Right. And once I had that sort of realization, I, I made the first one like in the next couple of days and the first one got like 50,000 views or something, which I was over the moon about, I was thrilled with that.

And then the second one I made was also about the whole transgender bathroom law thing and that one like went to the moon at like 30, 50 million views or something. And just like went like crazy, you know, mega ton viral and like change my life literally overnight. So it was like zero to a thousand. So I'd been working at it for awhile and it was a very deliberate thing, but I also did not expect it to, to work like that. And then when it did, like I still had a day job at the time and I

posted it the night before and I was sitting at my day job the next day. And it was like an office job. I worked for the U S department of energy, which I'm sure won't exist soon, but I used to work there and, uh, I was sitting in a conference room and some meeting and like my phone, like got hot in my pocket, like, so I was sitting in a conference room in some meeting and like my phone like got hot in my pocket, like so hot. Like, I don't know if you remember around this era, phones were would sometimes just explode. Phones used to just blow up for a while. So my phone got like real hot in my pocket and I like freaked out,

put it up, threw it on the table, whatever, like, you know, told everybody to duck, get down. It's going to blow, but it didn't, it wasn't exploding. It's because I had, you know, I got like notifications and stuff. And it like overloaded my phone, you know, when it all like started and it, the phone never did explode, but it got like, it ran the battery completely down in like 15 minutes or something. And my phone died and I'm still at, uh, and I'm still at work knowing that something is happening.

But you know, now my phone is dead and they're the rest of the day. And by the time I got off work and got home, it was like, you know, I mean, like I said, my life had changed. I wasn't ready for it either. Like I, I now I have a fan page on first of all, at this point in time, Facebook was still the main one. Yeah. That's what I keep hearing out of you.

Like on Facebook and it's like Facebook, who uses that for anything but dating and buying old shoes. Yes. Well, 10 years ago, almost 10 years ago, Facebook was still the main one. And so all this was on Facebook and I didn't even have a fan page or nothing. That first video that went viral was just on my like personal Facebook page. So I maxed out my number of Facebook friends, like immediately. First of all, I shouldn't have been accepting all those people's friends

because it's different, you know, followers and friends, they're like, it's two different things, but at the time I was like, I got, you know, I got to accept everybody, but I max that out immediately. And then it was just nuts. And I was getting, I got contacted by Warner Brothers. They signed me to a development deal. I signed a book deal with a publisher. I started touring.

I quit my day job, started touring. I didn't think anyone was going to even in spite of all that, I didn't think anyone was going to come to the shows. I was like, you know, dude, look, it's one thing to watch somebody like to click play on a video on your computer or on a phone, right? Like it's very different thing to spend 20, 20 dollars and get a babysitter or whatever and come to a, come out to a comedy show. I was like, nobody's going to do that because of these.

And we posted, we did like a trial run, one week of dates, and the very first tour date I ever had as a headliner was at the Punchline in Atlanta. And it sold out almost immediately. And we had to add a second show and it sold out too. And that's when I was like, holy shit, this is wild. How long does it take you to get that, like does the development deal, does your agent just like send that over to you the next day?

They're like, oh my God, they want to assign you a development. Does that happen just so quickly? That first one, so thankfully I said, I did beforehand, I had a manager already who lived in Los Angeles, but she was very green and new. She was like a rookie manager herself, you know, so, but she, but, but she, uh, still she helped me navigate all that because she at least, you know, had some notion of how things were supposed to work, but like, I didn't even have an agent yet or anything in the first, the Warner brother, the, the, um, like, uh,

a S assistant to her or secretary of, or something like that of the president of Warner Brothers Television, like sent me a message on Facebook is how that is how that happened initially. And then, um, and then I got contacted by a literary agent, uh, because she knew that, you know, there was whatever, a publisher who wanted to do a book deal or something. And yeah, and it just, I mean, it was wild. And then I was on, you know, a couple of months later, I was on like real time

with Bill Maher the Friday after the election in 2016, like three days after the election. I do remember that appearance. I do remember that. I think that's my, that was my introduction to Trey Crowder. That was crazy. That was so surreal, that whole thing. Because I mean, you know, everybody was pretty gobsmacked in that audience

or in that production staff and everything. People were not expecting that to have happened and the mood was just wild. And especially added to it is the fact that I'm fresh out of the holler and I'm, you know, I'm nude all this. So just the experience of even being there was crazy to me. And then add on top of that, the larger societal context and the energy and everything, it was like, I mean, it was nuts. I remember that day after the election, like, uh, we had just moved into a house,

my wife and I freshly, uh, you know, married basically. And we were sitting on two patio chairs because our furniture hadn't shown up yet. This big screen TV in this huge living room and watching and clear by nine o'clock at night, and I was like, this is fucking insane. I don't know what happened. And the next morning I took a run down at the park where I've been running for years and I just remember everybody looked shell shocked.

It felt to me similar to the day after 9-11, when everyone was like, what just hap- what hangover are we in? What universe did we end up in? In such a weird time. was like, what just, what hangover are we in? What universe did we end up in? In such a weird time. But then you go, okay, well, here it is. Let's hope for the best, right? Let's wish, let's wish that everything,

let's hope that someone, there's an adult in the room and everybody figures it out. Did you, did the, when did the, for you, when did you sense the energy started changing and becoming more divided? Like, I think it's clear that right now, there's a lot of, I'm on this team, I'm on that team. You know, there's a lot of tribalism that goes on

in this country, whether that be real sports teams, religion, politics, there's so much tribalism. We all have to identify with some group of people so that we have something and identify an enemy that we have to fight real or imagined. Did the, did the, after that election, did the crowd start to change? Did you feel the energy of the crowd start to change? I mean, I don't know. I really do think, like, I know I just said a minute ago, like right before I

went viral and I was doing that bit on stage in 2015 and it was fine. That is all true, but it still does feel to me like it. A happened pretty quickly and B like, you know, coincided with the rise of Donald Trump and MAGA specifically. And I feel like the reason for that is all the people who are not on board with it were so, just so powerfully like, you guys are joking, right? Like that's, you cannot be serious. And then the people who were on board with it are, were already so sensitive

to feeling, uh, condescended to, or however you want to put it by the same people that that, you know, that really struck a nerve with them, the general reaction to it. And also they liked it in a way that we were so put off by the whole thing. And it just like, it was kind of woven into the whole MAGA experience from the very beginning, I feel like. And then so it, as that got to be more and more of a thing leading up to the election and certainly after they won, it was like, we were kind of in it at that point because I, I had all, I had been doing that bit at live in front of live shows and never had a single problem with it ever.

But now that I have an internet presence, I mean, I'm that whole time, you know, in 2016 and everything, like, I mean, I'm getting death threats and crazy stuff all the time, you know? So, uh, yeah, I felt like it happened pretty early on in the process and then it has only gotten worse, uh, over the intervening years, I feel like. Yeah. It's gotten super intense and we do a particularly bland form of humor here. We don't talk a lot of politics generally. I think if you listen to the show, you are... What's that? It's a good call. Well, it was 2020. It was 2020, right? And so, you know, things had...

We were leading up into change and you could feel the tone and texture of the country was different than it was in 2016. It was clear that a lot of people wanted to move in a different direction. And it was the pandemic. And so we just made a decision. There's so much of that is on television in people's ears. So many people are talking about it and so many people are smartly talking about it. Are we going to add to the noise or are we going to cut through?

And it was just clear that we were going to add to the noise. So I was like, let's just leave it alone. Let's not talk about it. Are we going to add to the noise or are we going to cut through? And it was just clear that we were going to add to the noise. So I was like, let's just leave it alone. Let's not talk about it. Let's give people a break from it. The name is the commercial break. Let's give people like a real life commercial break from all this drama that's going on right now. Now, since this last election, you know, I think our opinions are known. You know, I think one of the mistakes that was made in 2016 is that we all, a lot of us on, with certain feelings did go, what the fuck are you thinking? Like you're clearly not well in the head if you think QAnon is coming to, you know, so there's some day of judgment coming with some guy that's talking on Reddit. Like, I mean, you know, it just doesn't make any sense. I think the mistake early on was believing that everyone who felt supportive of some of these initiatives or felt a certain way was just an idiot, right? Because that

that obviously turned out not to be true. Many people felt like the some of the ideas and principles that the conservatives believe in or that Trump specifically believed in was something they also felt strongly about. They felt left out by the process and MAGA let them in. And so now it's a form of populism in my opinion. And so is that is it really I gotta imagine I probably know the answer to this but I'm gonna ask it anyway. It's gotta be really tough sometimes to have this brand of comedy in this moment in 2025.

Because you do get death threats and people wanna, and you don't know who's out there. You don't know who's taking it more seriously than the next guy, right? Well, I mean, honestly, I probably should, I guess, but I don't, I don't really worry about that part of it too much. And I guess it's cause in nine years in, I thankfully, you know, knock on wood, haven't had any kind of like real life experiences or anything that made

me realize like, Oh, this is, you know, this is a serious concern, but it still is like tough. I mean, that's why I said, you said, yeah, we don't do politics. I was like, yeah, good call. It's like, because I've, uh, I mean, there's a lot of aspects to it. Like, um, honestly, before this most recent election, it's not that I, I did not think I knew what was going to happen. I didn't know what was going to happen.

I was like, I, you know, this could go either way in my mind. We'll see. But had it gone the other way, I had fully intended to, uh, like I kind of had a plan in my head for like pivoting away from politics because in my head it was like, had it gone the other way, it's like, okay, we could put all this nastiness behind us and just kind of go back to the old boring version where people don't care as much. Yeah. Right. Cor corruption happens behind the scenes.

Yeah. Right. Yes. And then I could do, like I was going to do like, you know, cooking videos and just more standup clips and that type of thing. But then that didn't happen. And now, and now I feel like almost obligated to, you know, keep, because of my brand and what I do, it's like, well, I can't stop that now. So I'm even, you know, I because of my brand and what I do. It's like, well, I can't stop that now. So I'm even, you know, I'm deeper in it now than I have been in recent years, but it is, you know, it's obviously it is, it's divisive. So it's like, I'm on, there's a huge chunk of people.

I'm never going to get on board no matter what, because of that. But then also a massive part of it that I frankly never saw coming is that, part of it that I frankly never saw coming is that, uh, there's been a huge influx of like right wing stuff in the comedy world specifically, like, and that never used to be the case. It used to be like, it was like a stereotype or cliche even that it's like, are there any, uh, conservative comedians, is there anybody funny? That's conservative. It's like, it just any conservative comedians? Is there anybody funny that's conservative? It's like, it just, it just doesn't happen.

And you'd, there'd be like a couple of token ones you could throw out or whatever. It's like, well, post 9 11, Dennis Miller is, you know, he's pretty good. Or it's like, you know, Nick DiPaolo or Adam Carolla or guys like that. But like they were very much the minority. very much the minority. And now the objectively, the biggest, uh, people in the comedy world are like at least, at least somewhat associated with like the right, or if not all the way on the right, at least they're like, they're like, you know, anti woke or whatever they're flirting with.

They're flirting. Some of them, some of those guys that get categorized over there. I don't think it's fair. I don't think they, they are actually like that, but they do have a lot of fans that believe they are like that. And then, and then some of those guys, I mean, it's, you know, they just are that way, right? But there's a huge chunk of them and they're like, that's some of the biggest

names in comedy and serious power brokers and all that. And it's like, I never ever would have anticipated that that would happen. When I was getting started. Absolutely right. And it's kind of strange. It's like, it's flipped upside down and part of me thinks that some of the podcast comedy man is fear, whatever they're calling it. These they've bro is fear, bro podcast fear. I don't even know what the new name is, you know,

everything's something, everything's got a name. I don't know what it is. Part of me believes that that it's in fashion to troll and to press those buttons. That's where the clicks and the likes are. And the more you can flirt with it and be controversial while maintaining a brand that can be on SNL or wherever, then the better off you're going to be. So it's like one foot in, one foot out. And you know, in for a penny, in for a pound kind of thing. Like we're here now, so this is what I'm going to do. And then five years from now, it'll be another thing.

And then five years, it'll be another thing. Feels disingenuous to me. And I think I can see through it with some of these folks. And some of these folks, I believe they really believe it. Right? It's, that's the way it is. And there's no doubt that, you know, Rogan has had an influence on all of that. He has become a serious power broker in comedy.

No more Carson. Now it's Rogan and others, right? Um, but, uh, but you have been, you have been faithful to kind of these causes that you have always, I imagine, believed in. You say that you grew up in a rather liberal household, and that may have been strange for where you grew up. I mean, I think it's a stereotype to say that the entire Deep South is conservative, Bible-beating, troglodytes, as you put it, because there are a lot of people who don't think that way or feel that way. We live in Atlanta, we know it even in the Deep, Deep South, Valdosta, Georgia, or North Lake Florida. Danielle Pletka Yeah, and the rural areas, I think they also get a bad rap sometimes, too. I'm sure

there are plenty of people who have liberal leanings that live in those areas also. But when you were growing up, did it did, and I guess politics wasn't as much of a conversation starter back then, but did you ever feel like a fish out of water? Believing and feeling certain ways, but yet being around in areas where there was a lot of conservative conversation. Oh yeah, all the time. But even though it wasn't as much of a thing, you weren't supposed to talk about like religion and politics, right? But, but still, but the main thing for me, I've talked about this a lot, but it's true, the thing that made it different is that like, so I was raised by

a single father and my dad had only one sibling, a younger brother, my uncle Tim and my uncle Tim is openly gay and has been since, you know, I was born. So, uh, and this was, you know, I'm growing up, I'm a kid in the nineties in the rural South. So there's like, I mean, just rampant homophobia, you know, and, uh, and I, I, you know, I always loved Uncle Tim and was always just very opposed to that. And part of that also is that so like, I also, I did not grow up in the church at all. So those two things definitely made me sort of stand out. But the thing, and also I was very combative is not the right word, but I was very open with how I

felt about that stuff and my disagreements. And a lot of people were, a lot of times the people in places like that who are on the other side or on the left or whatever, they just, they like never speak up and I don't blame them. It's like, you don't want to be the one that ruins Thanksgiving dinner or whatever, or just gets yelled, gets ganged up on. So I get it, but I never had that problem when I was growing up. And what I've always chalked that up to is the other thing that was going on

with me as a kid was that like, I was the smart kid in my school and, uh, which I say now I realize now looking back is like being the straightest guy to share concert, you know, it's not, it's not really that impressive, but I didn't know that I had no frame of reference. So like at the time as a child and as a teenager, like I'd literally left that town. I left high school genuinely believing that I was like goodwill hunting, like a, like a prodigy level intellect. Like that's what I, that's how I thought of myself.

And then realizing in my twenties that that was not the case, like really screwed me up and engendered a major quarter life crisis. Like a lot of gifted kids have that problem using up being like a, you know, just a burned out husk at 26 or whatever. But anyway, but as a kid and as a teen, I thought very, very highly of myself in terms of intelligence and intellect. And so it was always a thing where it's like, well, yeah, all these, so many of these people surrounding me, they disagree with me, but like, you know, of course they do. They're all idiots and I'm brilliant, you know, like, so it makes sense that I would be the only one who's right about this thing, you know, like, that's how I looked at it, which is like Da Vinci and they're the dum-dums, right? Yes, exactly. And it's like that's, you know, I I felt that way, I had, I just had no qualms about,

about just being upfront with like, that's ridiculous. That's, you know, you're wrong. I'm right. Whatever. And fighting, pushing back on people. So like, I remember one time the story I always think of, we had a, our English class, like one Friday a month, English class in high school became debate class.

Cause they didn't, they couldn't justify an entire like debate team or debate class. But like one Friday a month, it'd be like, okay, today's debate day. And, uh, we came in there one day and it was that Friday. And, uh, she goes, this is, you know, 2003 or whatever the timeline was for this. We were just gearing up to, we were debate. The country was debating whether to go to war in Iraq, right? Like weapons of mass destruction and all that.

And she's like, uh, who all here thinks we should go to war with Iraq? And roughly half the kids raised their hand. And she was like, okay, who thinks we shouldn't? And it was literally just me. Like I was the only one who raised my hand in all classes. She goes, and who doesn't have an opinion? And the other half of them raised their hand. Like, I don't care.

And she's like, okay, you guys are on Trey's team. You get over here on, you guys get on this half of the room and everybody else on this side, but you know, they had all just said they didn't even care. So it was literally just me. It was literally just me versus the other half of the team. But, but I was completely unbothered by that, you know? Well, I ended up getting bothered by it because I was like, Oh, you know, they're over there yelling, it's like, they knocked their damn towers down.

We've got to do something. You know, and it's like, no, they didn't. Like I was bothered by the idiocy of it all, but like, uh, but I wasn't bothered by the prospect of having to like, you know, be alone and yeah, and, and push back on all that. Cause I've been doing it my whole life. So I like, yes, I was very aware of being like, I've been, uh, it's like a running thing with me as I'm kind of a man without a country.

I've been that way my whole life because I never really fit in in my hometown. And like now I live in LA and I mean, you know, you'll be surprised to hear I don't super fit in here either. So I just kind of never, never really have. So, you know, I'm, I'm adjusted to it. Do you have any, here's, here's my sense of it. And, and like you, I grew up, I mean, I don't say when I grew up in a liberal household, I grew up in an Irish Catholic household and my father, lean conservative, my mother was liberal about almost every social issue, which I think I picked up on that kind of

empathetic nature of hers. And it made me really see the world in a different way to put myself in other people's shoes before speaking and you know, all that stuff like do unto others, the stuff that Jesus taught, the pretty simple stuff. But you know, I always felt strongly that you know, the government, a political faction shouldn't be bullies. That was just kind of my thing. And so I'd never really felt strongly about conservatism because I always felt there was a little bit of that in it always. But that being said, I don't disagree with everything that the conservatives have to say. I don't think government should, I don't think we should have to fill out a piece of paper

in triplicate to walk across the street, right? I think the government needs to be smaller. It needs to work more for the people in the middle and down below. And I think that, you know, there's, there is a lot of waste that goes on in government. And so for me, I don't totally disagree with, I hate Doge and everything that it stands for

under the, under Musk, right? But because I just don't agree with the methodologies and the that it stands for under Musk, right? Right. Because I just don't agree with the methodologies and the way he's going about it and the reasoning that he's going about it. I don't think it's as simple as I want to cut waste and fraud. I think there's very complicated reasons in this own man's head. But I agree that we could probably get rid of some of the stuff that we just don't need or we're spending too much money on.

Do you feel that there is any common ground with the current administration? Do you feel like, does Trey agree with any of the things? Oh, the current administration, I mean, kind of just to steal your answer. I mean, I mentioned earlier, I used to work for the department of energy. So like, like I know firsthand, like, I'm sorry if it's inconvenient for anybody, but like, it's just true. There's a lot of areas in the federal government that could be, uh, tightened up. Like it's pretty bad. Like I've got a political podcast and my cohost on there. He's the smartest guy I know.

And he's very, he's very anti all things, you know, Trump and maga and all that. And he hates Ilan and he hates Doge. And when we'll be talking about it, I'll tell him, I'll be like, well, look, me to be fair, man, like there's there, you know, we could clean some of it up. And he just, you know, he's always like, you know, he don't want to hear it. He's like that. Just feet don't, you know, feeds into the narrative, whatever. And, and, but my whole thing was that it's like, okay, but I, but it, I, I know that it is true though.

Like I, yeah, like I've seen it. So I'm not going to, I'm not going to act like it isn't just because, you know, it's like inconvenient for my political beliefs or whatever, but like you said, the methodology is insane and the way they're going about it is ridiculous. So it kind of doesn't matter. It's also like, I'm even going back to the very beginning of Trump. It's like the town that I'm from in Tennessee was wrecked by NAFTA and everything and opioids and all that.

And just, it was actually a blue County for years up until like around the turn of the century, like Southern Democrat working man type shit. And then now it's hardcore Trump country. And it's like, I was always. Sympathetic to the reasons that they felt. Cause my town has been like utterly decimated and people that have been really screwed over through no fault of their own, they have a very valid beef with like things that have happened in this country.

I just was always like, but this dude is not the answer for any of that. You know, like, so there's a lot of it that I'm a sympathetic to the, like you said, is populism, a general, a like more leftist populist message. Like obviously like Bernie Sanders or something. I'm a, that's really more aligned with where I'm at. There's plenty of things people do actually agree with. If you take the, uh, the letters out of it, you take the Rs and the Ds out of it and all that, and it's just about like, you know, most people agree with regular,

you know, everyday Americans having more money in their pocket, getting paid better, you know what I mean? There, most people are okay with taxing the rich and corporations, but it's more, you know, I'm kind of a no war, but a class war type person. Like I'm, I think it all really comes down to that. I believe that most of the culture war things are just a purposeful distractions, you know, that like turn people against one another. And it's like, don't get me wrong.

That's not, I think the trans people should have rights. I'm just saying the whole narrative around even debating it in the first place is just, sir, it means, you know, just serves to like distract people from stuff that really matters is my opinion. So, and I think there's a lot of people like you I've heard Theo Bond talk about how like, or on his show, like, uh, a lot of people on his show, they, they like, you know, they hate like, Oh, the, the billionaires that are really in charge or whatever.

But the people that I'm talking about, they think that those billionaires are all like, you know, liberal elite billionaires like George Soros and that type of thing. Yeah. And it's like, I hate the billionaires are charged, but I'm like, but I'm talking about, you know, the one that we see being in charge every day who's clearly on the right. I've seen people tweet out, it's like, Elon's going to finally get rid of all these corrupt billionaires that are ruining our government. It's such a dumb, dumb thing to say, and I agree with you 100%. I know a conservative that's that, you know,

just yelling and screaming on Facebook, Elon's saving us, he's got a great plan, he's gonna get rid of the billionaire class, and it's like, he is the epitome of the billionaire class. And that kind of power unchecked on either side of the aisle, we should all have a healthy dose of skepticism about someone that wants to amass as much wealth as possible and make everybody else under him

uncomfortable for no reason. That's it. Government is not, unfortunately, is not a private company. It's not a startup. It's not a small business mom and pop shop. It doesn't work and operate the same way and you can't treat it as such. There are things that the government does in the public eye and behind the scenes that just need to be treated differently because it's serving the people that elect it to happen and it can't be treated like that. And so-

Right. It can't be motivated like that. And so- Right. It can't be motivated by profit margins and stuff. That's correct. Like some things are just not meant to be motivated by that. So you can't, yeah, you can't treat them the same way. I totally, totally agree with you. And I think it's important, I mean, my opinion is it's important that when we find common ground with the other side of the aisle or people that we don't agree with, that we recognize that common ground

because that's the way that we get less tribal, right? Is by saying, yeah, he's just like me. I think by and large, the people who voted for Trump, I imagine by and large, those people, they're good, hardworking people who just want better for their families and realized that it doesn't that for some reason Have been told or whatever that you know This particular version of it the Kamala Harris version or whatever the Biden version Didn't work for you and they got convinced of that and but they wanted something different

they felt like they needed someone to shake that up and you know, Hopefully maybe they'll see that this is kind of a little bit of a screwy mess right now. Who do you think leads the liberal party into the next generation? Like, do you, do you think it's kind of like a little, like maybe the old guard is time to have a fresh end to things? Oh, I definitely think it's time for the old guard to move on. I don't know, other than, you know, a couple that are obvious that already are there.

It's like, I mean, AOC and Jasmine Crockett or whatever. And I like Eric Swalwell out here in California and some other people, but like, I think one of the videos I just made recently was about how the democratic party needs like a complete paradigm shift in my opinion. Or it's like, uh, like, uh, they need their own version of the, like the tea party moment, like from the early 2010s, you know, where it's like, uh, some new faction or force needs to establish itself and, and shift them in a, in a different direction because they're like completely lost at sea right now and the, and yeah, the old guard, you know, Chuck Schumers of the

world are just like, I like, I'm just ready for them to go on somewhere. I have no interest in those people being around anymore. If I hear the double talk out of their mouths anymore, it does frustrate me to no end. And I don't believe in their ability to lead and it's driving me crazy. They were good for 1989, not for 2025. And I think it's time for, you know, there's got to be a turn of, there's got to be a reckoning if there's going to

continue to be a strong, you know, liberal party in this country. And that liberal party needs to understand that most people agree with smaller government. You know, there's things that they need to work for the middle class again and not be so concerned. Yeah, that's the biggest thing they need to do. Yeah, totally. And, you know, we, do you know Channel 5 News, Andrew Callahan from Channel 5

News, the YouTube channel, Channel 5, do you know what I'm talking about? All gas, no breaks. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. Yeah. So it's called Channel 5. So he came on the show and he was really interesting. He's another smart guy. I think of you as a smart guy also, you know, that guy who debated the entire half of the class on the war in Iraq, but he's another smart guy. And he said, I don't even think there'll be a democratic ticket in 2028.

And I was like, wow. He's like, not the way it looks right now. I think it's got to, it'll be a totally different thing. Right. And I was like, wow. He's like, there's just no strong leadership in that old guard anymore that can take you into this next version of what politics looks like. And I, I think he might be right about that.

I really do. Your new special Trash Daddy is on YouTube. Are you on the never ending tour? Do you? Always. Yeah. Perpetually. Yeah.

Uh, I'm always going, you know, three weekends a month, at least sometimes all of them I'm, uh, out and about around the country doing, doing shows. So yeah, you see all that at treycrowder.com. If you want to come see me. I'm sorry, I don't know this, but you have a wife and you have children? Yeah. They're, uh, middle school boys. There's a 12 and 13.

Oh yeah. You're got teenagers. What's that all about? Pete Yeah. Tell me. I don't know. I'm living in fear, constant fear of staring down the barrel of teenager-dom and I'm hyper aware of it. So. Jared You know that at some point, the lion cubs become the lion, right? Pete Yeah. Jared At some point, the old lion die, like is eaten by the younger cubs or something like that. My friend who's had, I have small children, they're like half your age,

but I have a million of them. But, uh, one of my friends who had children young had a son and when the kid turned 13, he got big. I mean, he got big, he got strong and you know, they would get into little fussing matches about, you know, cleaning the room or whatever. And he's like, I'm honestly scared. Lion cump has become the lion. Like he now leads the pride.

He's like, if you want to take me, good. My 13 year old is like, he's, he's taller than my wife and he's, you know, approaching my height, so he's definitely shooting up, but he's also, he's like, you know, he's a little Timothy Chalamet. He's a, you know, he's kind of, he's kind of a bean pole. So I'm not worried about that part just yet, but yeah, no, I, it's, he's a, you know, he's kind of, he's kind of a beam pole. So, uh, I'm not worried about that part just yet, but, uh, yeah, no, I, it's, it's wild about, I've got two good friends, the guys I mentioned earlier, the comics that I toured with, they, uh, they both had babies in the past, like

18 months, their first children, their first babies in the past 18 months. And so I've just been really, really, I've been thinking a lot about like, you know, the inexorable march of time and that type of thing. And just the fact that, you know, kids are only, they're only little once and then, you know, and that's for me, that's over. And now they're becoming, you know, hormone monsters and all that. It's just, it's wild, it's all part of it. But, you know, it's pretty crazy. Yeah. I'm an older dad and I was talking with some of us this other day. I think that has, has benefited me in one way is that I do understand at 20, I didn't understand

my own mortality, even at 30. Right. At my age, I definitely understand my mortality. It's a double edged sword. I can see time marching quickly toward my end, but when they're young, I think I'm appreciating those moments right now because I can see that mortality. So Trey Crowder, I think I'm appreciating those moments right now, because I can see that mortality. So Trey Crowder, I think you're one of the great voices of a generation. I
