And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie. I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say.

Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better.

And it's called Rocket. money. Rocket money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want any more, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create custom budgets based on your past spending.

Rocket money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. And I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practice.

practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one I'd said it before, but I had a, I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies, you know, those weren't a little like the cue ball looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was that in response to? What was that reply I give for just when I did something stupid. Something fat and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for

it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

They're the. ski wait.

Well, here we are. Yeah. What's up buddies? What hits? Oh, nothing. Not much. I have been, I'm only 40 minutes in. But I've been watching the apprentice, you know,

the new Trump movie. No, I've not been re-watching old episodes of The Apprentice. I thought you're trying to gain some insights into, you know. Into why? Yeah, why is he this way?

What would be worse? Yeah. Who is doing this TV show? Oh, it's not a TV show. It's a movie and it's Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, and it's actually really good. Yeah, I would know. I would watch that.

I forgot that's what it was called. I also didn't know that it was out already. Yeah, it is. So. Do what? Is it flaming him or? So ultimately, yes. He does start out, and a lot of people were complaining about this,

because the first part of the movie, I won't say plays him sympathetic, but sort of plays him in a... His dad probably did a number on him, right? His dad definitely did a number on him, and he, and like the movie kind of shows you, it's definitely showing you how he became who he is today, but that he could have not,

and it was possibly in him, to not, but he did, you know. And, you know, I won't give too much away because I know people are going to want to watch it. But I'll just say this, Sebastian Stan, I was like going into it thinking, you know, I mean, he's a great actor, but it's going to be hard to pull this off without it being comical, you know. And he does a really good job at playing him, but not impersonating him, if that makes sense. Like, it's, he's got the mannerisms. He's got the lips, but he's not doing cartooning. you know, stuff.

That comes later, you know. Yeah, I remember Oliver Stone put out the movie W. With Josh Rowland as George W. Bush. And that was either still in the, I think Bush was still president. It was in the presidency when it happened. Yeah, right.

Which was the odd choice. Again, at that time, and I never hated nobody worse than George W. Bush didn't think that I could, so I was all pumped about it. And I remember people being, like, disappointed and upset that it wasn't what they thought it would be,

which was him just like, going hard after Bush, you know what I mean? Like a takedown piece of Bush and all of his, it was very like kind of sympathetic to him and all this stuff. But that's kind of funny in retrospect. That's how origin stories of villains work, though. Like, you have to show the, the sympathetic part. It's just also funny that it, that people, like, expected that at the time.

Because now Oliver Stone is like full-blown, I mean, he's always been a bit of a lunatic. He made JFK, but I think he's making a, like, I think he's like full-blown mega lunatic now. Maybe I'm just more of a QAnon than a MAGA thing. No, dude, you know what? Hold on, let me look this up. You're right because the other day. He's making some crazy-ass movie, yeah, that it's like in that thing.

I saw something the other day and I was like, wait, is Oliver Stone full-blown, you know, what you said, what is it that he's doing? Well, this is, this is news to me. Yeah, no, it was. He's not like, my heart's not broken or anything. No, absolutely not. And I mean, it kind of, I mean, I guess it could make. since upcoming. All right.

Wait, white lies. It says that he's called, I mean, in an interview with variety, you know, he talked about Trump's trials and he called him lawfare.

Oliver Stone, America firster. He, uh, so yeah, it looks like. I can't, I can't find the thing that he's working on.

It looks like in 2016, I guess he voted for Jill Stein, but that's worse. And then, uh, I say, I vote. for Jill's time.

That's fine. I like you. I realize that. That's just, you know, if we, I've been watching the show cross too. And, uh, well, it's fine. It's fine. But like the show crossed. And this isn't spoilers really.

I mean, this is like, but in the show, you know, he's a, he's a black cop. Right. And he be, this is like, you know, first minutes of the episode. He, his, his wife, you know, his wife. had died and so he is looking for a killer and he ends up beating the shit out of this dude that turns out didn't have anything to do with it, a black kid. And so it was police brutality, but as the show goes on, it's like, turns out police brutality is fine if we like the, if we've gotten to know the person and like them. You know what I'm saying? I found it.

No, no, no, no, no, hold on. I don't feel that way. I'm saying that's where the show goes. Like, that's the direction the show is taking you. I found it, but the thing I found was him denying the report. The report that me and you both saw was it was reported that Oliver Stone was making a movie about the Trump assassination attack. That's right. That's right. And that was fake. And so when he, he then came out and said that's not true. I'm not doing that.

So I don't know. I think he's just, I mean, he's obviously, again, he's always been wild. Somebody probably fake that because it's, I mean, if you fake something to get people to believe it, it has to be something you think would be believable. So, you know what I'm saying? I just thought he was one of those like, you know, conspiracy theories always hit for him type of thing. And then those people have gotten sucked in one direction primarily in the past few years. You know what I'm saying? It didn't used to be that way, but now it kind of is.

So I thought he had fallen victim to that is what the impression that I had gotten. But maybe I'm wrong and I'm just talking out of my ass here. He has always hit for, I do like Oliver Stone's movies quite a bit. He's a wild motherfucker in a good way. We've made fun of me a lot for this, but like I, I'm really into conspiracy theories as well, but not, I don't believe them. You know what I mean? Like, I'm into reading. Do what?

Everybody's like that. No, I know. Like, they're above how fun it is. No, I know. I agree with you. And I'm like, but, but like, I, when I heard, hear about people who are used to when I heard about people who were in super into conspiracy theories, never crossed my mind to be like, they're a lunatic, right wing, blah, blah, blah, whatever. but now it's like, y'all can't even just dip in and just read it for fun without like it's swaying your mind on how insane it is.

Those people aren't supposed to, like, it's like the dog in traffic speech in the Batman with Heath Ledger as the Joker. Like I'll never know what to do if I catch it. Well, they started catching it and then this is what we got. It's like that, uh, it's a good pull. It's the end of that Joe Zimmerman bit about, um, Sasquatch, Bigfoot. where he's like if they do catch Bigfoot

it's going to be exciting for a second and then everyone's going to be bummed Yeah At this point Would we find a dead Bigfoot? Well he said That's part of the bit

Which is you know We've never found any Bigfoot bones You know we've also never found any Bear bones Joe No but we have found a bear Bears Right

But he goes But at the end of the bit He's like Everyone's going to going to be pumped if they catch Bigfoot, except for Bigfoot enthusiasm. That's so true. Oh, I think that's where we're at with like a lot of these conspiracy is like they just pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed. And now QAnon won. They got their guy in there and

Matt Gates. Right. Is the attorney general, like pedophile in chief. Yeah, they won but at what cost, you know. But yeah, it was never about that for them. Like it was like, it's almost like for a lot of those people, you know, claiming in that Hollywood was a pedophile ring and Pizza Gate was real and stuff. It's almost like they didn't actually care about the pedophilia part.

They just cared that they were right on something. You know what I'm saying? Like they just wanted to win. JFK Jr. is arguably in one of the most powerful positions he can be in. Robert F. F. Kennedy Jr.

Whatever. Well, JFK Jr. is, or he was part of a, yeah, it was part of a conspiracy. conspiracy theory. He's going to come back and be the king. RFK Jr. is arguably in one of the most powerful positions he could be in for his agenda. And it's very clear he never thought he'd get there.

It is so painstakingly obvious that his first three plans were like, okay, if you take Adderall, we'll put you in a labor camp. It's like, what? That's what you're going to do as health czar or whatever the fuck that they did. There's so much shit you could have done. So let me ask you all this, because I'm about to, after we get done, I'm going to try to record a video about just Trump's cabinet appointees, mostly making fun of it, but then trying to, you know, have some, not, well, barely any optimism,

but the idea that, like, like, I think happened with the first time around or whatever, the only, like, real hope I feel like we have is that they'll be too, like, fundamentally incompetent and dysfunctional to do the worst of what they want to do because they're just not, they're not equipped for this, plus a lot of them hate each other. But one thing I thought, like, Big Pharma obviously don't hit for me. They killed our whole culture and people and everything. Hope they die. But,

but, and Robert R.FK Jr. don't hit for me either. But I do feel like the idea that like big pharma, who we all know definitely wields political power with all the money and influence that they have, they're not going to just stand by and let RFK Jr. replace some of their biggest money makers with like raw milk and vibes or whatever. No.

Like basically make fucking adderol or any of these facts. Well, they're going to kill them. That ain't going to hit for. them. Right. So they'll kill you. We're going to see another Kennedy assassination. I'm not hoping for that. I'm just saying we are like this morning. I saw there's been reported that Walmart, same thing, is built big pharma. Walmart like is publicly declaring concerns with the idea of tariffs, right? A lot of, hey, Farmers for Trump is too. Farmers to, yeah, right, but it's like, but with, you know, with like farmers, I know the farmers vote against their own self-interest and that type of thing,

but it's farmers like, yeah, winning farmers, farmers hip. Love me a farmer. or whatever. But like with Walmart, it's like I'm not cheering on Walmart. Fuck them. I'm just saying their interests are at odds.

And they're all at the top. And I just don't, I just think that that's going to lead to problems for a lot of this shit, which is good for the rest of us that don't want these things to happen at all. I just hope they'll just be bitching at and fucking with each other long enough

that maybe it can gum up the works. Fuck Walmart. We just kind of survive. Fuck Walmart. But I'm, I'm rooting for the, them, I'm rooting for their influence in this situation because the thing is, like, if it fucks Walmart, it fucks us double. You know what I mean? Because, like, they're going to still make

their profits. Like, it's just that we have to pay more. And that's what people aren't understanding about these. Walmart being like, listen, you know, we kind of, the thing is, we kind of rely heavily on cheap Chinese bullshit to continue to prey upon the populace and American small businesses. And so this ain't going to hit for us. You're doing this type of thing. And then, you know, I just think there's going to be multiple instances of that where it's like there are no good guys on either side, but that the bad guys are all at each other's throats for different reasons. When there's no good guys, you just got to go with what's best for the country. You know what I mean?

I think you guys are describing America. We are. Not just the Trump administration. Yeah. Nothing ever happens. All right. There's like four things to talk about. In terms of the video, of course, in mean, we talked a little bit about it last week.

I think he's over-promised to too many different factions that are biometrally opposed to each other. Beyond your video, I mean, the money's going to win. That's why I think Peter Thiel is worse than Bannon because Bannon didn't have enough power behind him. Walmart didn't want Bannon to win. Walmart wants Peter Thiel to win, and they don't want the tariffs and people don't want the immigration bullshit to win. So the imperialistic colonizing, capitalistic wing of the right wing, I don't know, overseers of our country are, in my opinion, going to curtail a lot of what Trump and his cabinet want to do. The shitty thing about that is, look, I think RFK Jr. is like half a lunatic.

Easily. But like you were pointing out, the idea of him taking on Big Pharma kind of hits for me. he's got the cloud of his name. He's a fucking Kennedy. It would be something for him to turn up dead at this point. Blah, blah, blah. He does in fact have a career. Except they'll blame it on us.

He does in fact have a career of suing big companies for violating the EPA laws and going after him for a wreck in the environment. So he is someone who could potentially do some good. I'm not saying I'm for everything. Most of his ideas are insane. But my point is that's going to get stopped. Yeah. But as we nosedive into this weird, the clash that I think is more interesting,

and maybe not for a video, is these tech crypto bros are a kind of new guard, right-wing capitalism. And Bitcoin is up big time right now. Versus, you know, can them in Walmart agree? And for me to even have a conversation about who I want to win that, it genuinely makes me want to jump out of this. It sucks. Yeah. It makes me want to jump out of the window. And it is also people, it's also a big part of why Trump won, to be honest with you, is because he is at least pretended to be beyond that shit. That's what America first was sort of about. I don't want to come across like I'm pro Donald Trump at all. But it is frustrating to me, like the tariff thing, for example, if we could hold out, if we could hold out and actually do it and do it for America, not for five, businesses, which we cannot do.

But if we could, I could see that being in long term good for America. I say that knowing it would wreck millions of homes in the meantime. That's why I'm not for it. We need different versions of it. If you're going to do that, you've got to supplement some people's incomes, blah, blah, blah. But my point is like,

I am hopeful that a lack of cohesion inside his support system is going to prevent him from being a fascistic dictator. It is not going to lead to good things for America because the people with the smartest plays and or

biggest balls will win. Those are going to be the most evil people and the most evil people. And for your video, Trey, one thing that you can have, this may be a whole video. You may not be able to fit it in a quick one, but when him and RFK Jr. disagree,

it is going to be one of the most entertaining fallouts in the history of American politics. Neither of them are capable Elon too. I was about saying Musk, Musk too. He's another one. You know they're going to end up fighting.

And maybe all three will have a battle royale of stupidity. On Twitter. Retard rumble! Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. I'm going to Gallenberg tonight. I'll get some T-shirts about that exact thing. Please do. Yeah, with Musk, I saw a, you know, he's literally, I mean,

because every moment of Donald Trump's life is documented, Musk has literally not left his side for a minute since this, since the election. And I saw this picture. God damn, I wish I'd have saved it. But like, it's Elon Musk sitting next to Trump on the plane and they're both holding, like, Trump's holding his steak knife or whatever to eat a fucking Big Mac. And Elon is just smiling like the biggest dorky motherfucker ever. And the look of just, God damn it, like when you have a buddy but and he comes to stay, You know, but he stayed a day too long and you're like, I got to get back to my life. Like he had that look on his face like, fucking, is this what it's going to be?

And I saw a couple other people pointing out that the MAGA people are, Elon's kind of not hitting for them a little bit right now because of how much he's around Trump and how much influence he's wielding on him and all these things that he's saying. And they're like, hey, we voted for Trump, not Elon Musk. And then it was pointed out to a lot of people that's, It's like, I don't know what to tell you, but yeah, you did. You kind of fucking did. But that's part of what the idea is that we'll bring them to blows,

not physical blows, but I mean, that would have, but like that both of them think that, yeah. This is the only way Elon thinks he's the real president. He thinks he's a real president, but like Donald Trump and his, he ain't going to stand for it. Of course not. That becoming clear to him, he was like, this, my fuck, no, I'm the president. Right.

And then that leads to them. going at each other, which will be funny. Because I was, I can't remember who I was talking to, but it was like, you know, oh, it was our buddy Donnie Marsh. We were talking about how like, you know, what Elon's doing is clearly, you know, it runs parallel to Trump where it's like these super rich people, they get so goddamn rich and they dominate so many things in their life that like, you know, they have to keep leveling up, you know, we've, we've had this conversation.

Like you have, like everyone, and dude, even us like people that aren't complete psychopathic assholes. Like in life, you're like, I don't want to make lateral moves. You know what I mean? I want to go up. And for Trump, that was the only thing left to do is become president. And Elon can't do that legally. So this is like, this is his only way of doing that, which is sort of made me feel like I genuinely, and not that this is good. This is probably worse. That like Elon don't even believe in half the shit that comes out of his goddamn mouth. It's just this is the closest that he could ever be to being the president of the United States. you know what I mean?

I think even before it got to that point with him, the whole like him not believing the shit that he says, it was just when he started getting sucked off more and more for drifting further and further right, like it's happened to so many people. Because you know, we, you know. But he realized that's where the power was headed. That too.

Yes, that too. But I'm saying just the, that, those people on the internet, him getting, when he do something and people on the left, you know, during the pandemic with the miners or with the factories, he tried to keep open with COVID or whatever, and people on the left would be like, hey, that's not cool. You shouldn't do that.

Because for a while, like, he had fans on both sides because I thought he was Tony Stark and all this shit, right? Don't say they. Don't say they. Yeah, we. We.

Not Drew. Yeah, not Drew, but we. I mean, I didn't, I wasn't like all the way up his ass, and I know you weren't either, but he definitely didn't not hit for me. Right. I thought he was refreshing for a while.

And so then when he does a couple of those things, and then people on the left are like, well, I think you shouldn't do that. But people on the right were like, you're the fucking man, dude, and they're verbally fillating him and all that shit. And those people get way more pumped about stuff than we do. Because he wants to be,

aside for one to be president and all-powerful or whatever else, the other thing that he desperately wants to be is cool. I'm going to say, rich as a fan on earth, but he wants to be awesome and rad and cool. And, like, he's a fucking dork and an edge lord, and he's cringy as hell. And, like, you can't just,

they don't make, like, a procedure for that. You can't just fix that. No, you can. And when you are that, what you can do is surround yourself. entirely by people who refuse to acknowledge the truth by people that only

people who act like you are cool, you are awesome and all of who go to back for you. You're a fucking dork. You don't, you push them away, you don't acknowledge them anymore. And it's just, I think all that shit is what's happened with. And your army of your army of people

who support you on the internet that whenever someone doesn't call you cool, they tell, they swarm on you and say that you're just a hater, you know, and then they get in your DMs and they're like, I'll fucking kick your ass motherfucker. Like, he loves that.

He loves that so much. Like, so something I've noticed, um, since we're talking about Elon, um, I'm obviously still on Twitter and we'll be for a long time on account of we have to have all of them. We don't have the luxury because,

uh, we don't, we're, we're hit adjacent, you know, we're in hit purgatory. We can't, I can't like,

I love my life. I feel like, I, like, honestly, if you told 16 year old Corey about my life right now, I'd go, you've already made it. And I don't,

try every day to feel that way. I do. But the reality is I haven't made it enough to not be on Twitter. But so I'm doing all of them. I did blue sky, right? And I have like 200 and something thousand less followers obviously on blue sky. But my engagement is so much better on all my post because fucking Elon was dropping every. I mean, I know that the algorithms don't aren't even a thing on blue sky. but like my when on blue sky when I post something now my fucking people see it whereas my people weren't seeing it on fucking Twitter and I knew that he was suppressing stuff but like it's gotten so far as like the other day I tried to post an anti-Trump meme that I had made it literally would not let me post the words I tried 15 times and I was like oh maybe my internet's down

then I took just a screenshot of the text that I was trying to send and posted it went through immediately. So the algorithm was clearly catching the words that I was saying and was like, no, you can't, you can't send that, right? Then the other day, I fucking put a link to my Atlanta Journal constitution piece on Twitter. And I know that like with most social media websites, when you put a link to an outside source, they get suppressed because that's the social media being like, we don't want you to leave this site. I know that. But Twitter literally broke the link and wouldn't let people get on. And I tried again. And then I put it on all. my other socials and you could get to it fine.

But on Twitter, people were like, hey, you you click this link and it just says error. And I was like, that's just you. And they're like, no, it's not. Like, and it was a, the fucking article, like, had a big picture of Donald Trump and I was clearly painting him in a bad light. And like, this is the fucking free speech

absolutist, you know? And then now they want to say, fucking everybody on blue sky, it's just a goddamn echo chamber as if Donald Trump didn't fund truth social. You know what I'm saying? And it's, Just getting to the point where, like, I don't know, man, it's, it's just shit everywhere. Tariffs fucking suppression of shit.

And, uh, and, and, yeah, I was just got on the window. I mean, we'll see. Maybe not. It's great, man. It's great. No, I'm saying the whole, when I post something, people who follow me see it. That's awesome. That's how.

Yeah, that's how Twitter started. That's how Facebook still worked when I first went viral on in 2016. and later that year in 2017 is when they changed it and it had a massive immediate effect on our ticket sales and everything. So I would love to return to those days. I would love to build up a following on Blue Sky that does see everything that I post

because I think that shit is massively helpful, but I know it it's massively helpful, but that I think things trend in a certain direction for certain reasons. When will that change? As Blue Sky gets more and more popular. If they go public, get more and more investors or what other people get involved that are consulting on how to continue to get bigger.

Because you got to grow. They will probably start saying, well, here's what you need to do. You need to do this. And it'll be similar to what has happened with all of the fucking. Now, Elon's is like a propaganda machine. Yeah, I tell everybody, enjoy it while you can. Right. They all have the algorithm and all that stuff, you know, like even outside of Twitter.

And there's got to be a reason for that. It's been proven to work. dicks people more effectively, it keeps people on it, whatever. And so if they manage to maintain their integrity while still getting big enough to be a legitimate competitor in that way or whatever, that would be awesome. But yeah, they are growing by a million users a day. Right. And I'm saying things tend to get corrupted.

Yeah. Hey, just give me four years. Maybe not. Just give me four years. You know what I mean? I live my life in licks. So I can hit a decent lick in four years. Just give me four fucking years.

Turn terrible. And then somebody else will make another one. and we'll go over there. So for everybody listening on it, I haven't even posted anything on it yet, but I did make an account on there because Cho sent me a screenshot as some dude had made an account

claiming to be me. And of course, it's going to be asking people from some scammer. We got it taken down, baby. I let the charge. And that hits. I wonder if I need to like, because that account existed

when I went to, I couldn't just make my account my name. Of course, just like on Instagram. Some bitch got my name years ago, so I'm official Trey Crowder on Instagram, but on Blue Skyd, they have a character limit.

So official Trey Crowder is too. long. So I'm currently the trail router. The track router. That's hilarious. Yeah. That sounds.

Yeah. That sounds worse. Yeah, I know. The Ohio State University. Right. I thought, I just thought real Tray Crouter out there for some reason in my head, it was like I see accounts that are parody accounts or whatever. Yes.

Right. Yeah. And so anyway, I don't know. You're right. I didn't know what else did. But I just did an experiment. I turned my Twitter into the Gravy Baby podcast's Twitter account like a year or a half ago. So it says Gravy Baby Podcast, the name's Gravy Baby Pod.

But most people know it's me, at least followers. I just posted a picture of me with a little flyer, November 23rd paper route. By the way, that's a plug. I'll be in the St. Augustine Jacksonville area this Saturday in November 23rd. I have 30,000 followers there. so I just posted a picture just with like the text I'll be there this weekend

Elon Musk your name is on the guest list but just so we can fist fight in the park of mom I put that same one on Blue Sky where I have 170 followers and I've been there like a long time my friend Jared gave me one of those when you had to lie I don't know if this is still the case

but you had to get invited or whatever yeah that was yeah but I don't I think I posted then something like can't wait for a bunch of meme accounts to steal my best jokes. I feel so alive. And that's, I think,

my only post on there. Let's see which one gets the most engagement. It'll be generally hilarious. It'll be Blusco. 170 followers beat 30,000. It will. Dude, my fucking,

I've got like 4,000 followers on Blue Sky since I joined. And now, granted, like, dude, I'm not, I'm not kidding, by the way. I've lost 50-something thousand followers on Twitter this week, which is fine.

I applaud everybody because a lot of them are leaving, going to Blue Sky and then following me, or they will eventually because I get, you know, mentioned by people or whatever. But I've noticed, dude, that my 4,000 followers on Blue Sky versus my still barely 200,000 followers on Twitter, when I post the same goddamn thing,

I'm getting more engagement, more everything on Blue Sky, because, A, it gets suppressed on fucking Twitter, and again, B, on Blue Sky, Not only does it not get suppressed, but it, again, actually just, it just be going when you fucking, it's so much more fun to scroll because you actually do see the shit. And I don't know if y'all know this. You can. They have to be 60 seconds or less. And I, and that's a thing as I tried to. And that's a thing with them like, I think what I was, you know, I was trying to explain this to the Amber the best way I could. But like, I think how that works is like, that's how they all start. Because in order to do, if you tell people you've got a bigger limit, They have to have more servers. You know what I mean?

Like they can't handle that much. So like they have to do this at first. I think there's no way that they don't bump that up, which was my main concern is like, dude, 60 seconds, I mean, I'm going to have to post a percentage of an already whatever video,

but I mean, I'll do it, you know, but it's just, it's just fucking better all around. I mean, we're not sponsored by Blue Sky, but like they've all,

this is how we're going to get followers. This is the best way I've noticed so far is people do these starter packs, which that's the coolest feature of Blue Sky is people will make these called a starter pack where it's like, hey, these are all the medieval historians that I follow on Blue Sky and you put them on a list and they send the starter pack and you can just go there and click follow all if you want to. And it's just boom, you've got your medieval historian whatever. And so like, I guess now the goal is like to get on a comedian list or whatever because like

people will just follow all and shit. But it really is cool because it's like I wouldn't have seen all these people individually. I've looked and this is great. And now my feed is nothing but medieval history and fucking it's great. So I want to ask you about something I just found out about earlier today. So we're all from very rural areas, very red, very Christian, whatever. And a neighboring county to my home county is a Jackson County, with a town there called Gainesboro,

Gainesburg, you know, and we used to always, you know, we were wrong, by the way, but we used to act like, you know, they were dumbassier and more redneck and stupid and backwards and shit than we were, and I'm sure they did the same about us, and again, they were right, I think.

But not by much, but I'm saying, Salina had no, was in no position to do that to anyone. I now realize. The separation was like two. cousin marriages at best. Exactly. Like basically the same place and they are, you know, bigger. But anyway, I read this morning our man, our boy Phil Williams, uh, investigative reporter

extraordinaire for News Channel 5 in Nashville. Absolutely. He's an OG. Love him. He rules. He's got an article on News Channel 5. It was actually yesterday. My sister sent to me earlier. there's a group, a like outwardly explicitly Christian nationalist group that are openly trying to, I mean, I guess infiltrate isn't the word. They're moving into Gainesborough and Jackson County right by where I'm from. That's where you live? Dude, I saw that. That's crazy.

How big a town is it? I didn't see that. It's, so Salinas 1A and Gainsborough, when I was there years ago, they were 2A. You know, they got a couple of streetlights. Your town's a more redneck, not because it's smaller, but because that's how people from your town describe populations. Well, you know, that's so fucking funny. That's so fucking funny.

I don't know how else to, what else am I supposed to? But it works. It works. No, like, I would have never thought, like, that's such a normal thing for me to hear. Drew's only person that's ever pointed out because I fucking say that shit too. I say that shit too.

We were one-A. It reminded me of my pat-ball talking about two shonies away. Yeah. He lives two shones from here. So, Gypsy's pay boat. The thing, yeah. Two shonis from here. Two shone is from here.

What's that? What's that Isbole line? These 5A bastards. Yeah. That's one of my favorite lines. A shallow cross. Because it's just like, boy's last love and a man's first loss.

Yeah. But that line of these 5A bastards, it has class. Right. Yeah. Exactly. And anger in those few words. I hate these 5A motherfuckers.

I think they're better and us. It's perfect. Yeah, it is. It's perfect. Unpopular opinion, that's my favorite visible album. All right. Now, let's get into what is about to be

a very dark story. Oh, cool. So I guess this happened once already in a place called Moscow, Idaho. Jesus. It's covered at the time a Christian nationalist pastor named Doug Wilson who attempted to turn Moscow Idaho

into a church town. And there's two real estate companies involved called New Founding and Ridge Runner, which actively target people who want to be part of a community of people who share your values. They're like targeting an echo chamber. Christian Nationalist to buy houses by land in Jackson County and all move in there. And it's like this concerted effort to have a place where they can have like Christian Sharia law or whatever, basically. But yeah, this is happening right by where I grew up. But my thing, it's like, it's just it's wild to me because I

I just wonder like how much and what level of pushback there will be because there's an interview in this story with a guy who's already a pastor there but he's a pastor of like the Methodist Church or something like that but in Jackson County and he is like you know he ain't saying fuck but he's like fuck these dudes basically right this whole thing is like this ain't this ain't this ain't legitimate Christianity this is bullshit this is hatred bigotry that type of thing he's talking about he's talking with some sense, right? And he's a preacher in Jackson County. But, you know, I wonder how prominent.

But seven other dudes. Right, exactly. They're like, they're going to pay their taxes. Yeah, and that's, that's what I'm wondering about. Because if you told me, like, that they had chosen that. If you, if you said there was a group like that and they had picked Jackson County, I would have been like, yeah, that, you know, that checks out. I could see that does seem to be, it would be a softer transition. I think in a place like Jackson County. If you were. If you will. Yeah. Then if you tried to do it in a suburb. I mean, it's clear that they, I'm sure they had a lot of criteria when they were picking a place to do this to. Clearly cultural camouflage is one of them. I mean, get in there and pull this off before they realize it because we're not too different from everyone else. Yeah.

Colts have done this before. I mean, this is a cult. It sounds like... I thought you meant the cults, and I was like Baltimore and Indianapolis? That's what that happened there? No, that wild country on Netflix, it's a documentary about something that happened years ago,

but in the, I want to say 80s or 90s, that that cult, that documentary is about, and this is even the point of the documentary, the documentary is about even wilder shit, but they did that to a town. They basically, basically they just moved in and then registered to vote,

and there was more of them than anyone else, else. So then they just started voting their own people in. You hear people doing it with HOAs too, which it's always funny when somebody does it to an HOA. But that's scary stuff, man. One thing I just remembered, I'll read more about this group, their leaders, what they've said in a minute.

But one thing I just remembered that hadn't occurred to me until just this moment was I sent it to y'all at the time years ago, probably, I mean, I don't know, at least four plus years ago, like pre-pandemic, Jackson County was in a fucking role. I think it was Rolling Stone. No, the New York Times, some major publication. Like maybe the New York Times or somewhere, at a story about the same town, Jackson County, Gainsborough, but for completely opposite different reason,

it was about people like digital nomad, people, you know, people that could work from home, like hipsters and people with money and shit like that who were tired of the cost of living and looking for a simpler life type of thing. So they moved into, they were looking for a place like Jackson County where it's cheap and it's beautiful.

fold and they have all this and then it was about the culture clash of these two things i tried to like i mean i say i try whoever i had my development deal with at that time i like tried to send them the article and be like this is you know this this is this is interesting fodder for a yeah a show whatever this is something that literally happened or something that this article was saying this is a place where it could happen no no i i really wish i could remember what do you feel like they're connected i don't know that's what i'm saying i hadn't even like the criteria thing. Like if you type in what you want to be able to like, you know,

you know what I'm saying? Like some AI internet crawling robot is like, here's the top five places to move and exploit the situation there. You know, it's like the Bali of America, which now Bali's done with and it's expensive. I don't know what the next one is. But do you know what I mean?

Because you see those articles all the time, like move to, again, it's not Bali anymore. It was 10 years ago because you can live, as a digital nomad very cheaply. Yeah, man, I don't know. I can't find it.

It's too big of a coincidence in my opinion for it not to be connected. Do you agree with that? Right. Well, that's what I'm saying. When I first brought up this news story, I wasn't even thinking about that. And then while talking to y'all, it popped into my head that that had also happened in the same place. And I was like, that's weird and wild.

And I wonder. Yeah, my two theories are, Jackson County is a place where it just comes up on a list. If you type in what you want, the cheap land and maybe the government has loose tax laws or what, like, it just popped up on two different entities lists. You know, this is where you can go buy a fuck ton of real estate. The other theory I have is these are more nefariously related. I can't quite connect them, but, you know, it's like the crunchy to alt-right pipeline.

Yeah, yeah. Like, digital nomads. No vaccines. Do you tend to be white. There's like a borderline colonialism aspect of it. Like, we're going to go here and fucking own this place. Maybe, like, there's some overlap here, dude. I mean, going back to fucking J.D. Vance and Trump and all that shit.

Like, maybe there's some overlap of tech and Christian nationalism. It's a little scary. No, I think you're right. I mean, I think that if you're, you know, there's two sides of the coin on, like, super conservatives. And it's people who are, you know, super Christian, super small. all town whatever and then on the flip side of that there's the super rich or whatever and if you're one of those fucking i don't know rich tech bros who's convinced yourself that you're a fucking liberal or whatever forever you move to a place where you see the other side of it and it sort

of entrenches you in it and then you fucking i don't know no i'm saying more nefarious than that like that they've been connected the whole time but oh right yeah that's just my spidey senses and brain tingling my my main theory is the first thing i trust you your spotty senses on stuff that don't head. I just feel like Jackson County probably satisfied a criteria given to an AI robot. Where in America can we do these things? And one group wanted to be digital nomads. And the other group wanted to take over a town and turn into Christian nationalism.

And it just so happens that that list is, you know, that Jackson County is at the top of that list. Right. So it's two guys named C.J. Engle and Ann Arns. Andrew Isker, they naturally host a podcast that they claim is the number one Christian nationalist podcast in the world. It's called contramundum, right? Which when you Google it, you have to type in podcast to even find it. And it's got 69 reviews.

It's got 69 reviews on Apple podcast or whatever. Fucking Latin. People who like Latin are always into some dark shit. For sure. But anyway, these guys, it's. says, is what Phil says in his article, as those, as Isker and Engel see it, the only people who have a legitimate right to a homeland in the United States are what they call heritage Americans, which they typically depict on their social media post.

Don't hate. What? Herod does not hate Americans. Right. Yeah. They typically depict with old Norman Rockwell images of white people, especially white men. In his pen post at the top of his ex profile, Engel explains further that his concept of Heritage America, quote, quoting the dude now, affirms the domination and preeminence of European

derived peoples, their institutions, and their way of life. How long ago were you immigrants? He also defined it as an actual body of institutions created by a nexus of specific people dominated and defined by Anglos and their children, but it says he still, his idea of Heritage America also, quote, does include the blacks of the. old south so they're so they're leaving some room for their slaves

in their future utopia it's definitely that or they're like hey you guys know there's one group that'll just beat the fuck out of us right right yeah yeah throw them a bone dog yeah I mean it's fucking it says according to them if you're a

descendant of slaves then you get to stay you get to you know I mean even why supremacy's going fucking woke what a goddamn country I tell you what, man, we can't have a goddamn thing. It's like, you know, I don't know. Fuck. Yeah, every joke is too much.

I know. I ran like six of them through the Cho filter, and so imagine how bad they were that I didn't say them. On their podcast, they have talked about how all of our old heroes were actually way more racist than we're allowed to be today. So that's something, you know, because of the woke mind virus or whatever. They've also denounced... Who the fuck is disagreeing with that?

Right. They've also denounced the efforts of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement in general. Denial. You cannot have both Martin Luther King and a heritage America. I do declare. Yeah. We should turn civil rights back to the states. They said that in the 1960s ruined everything.

So, yeah, you know, seems pretty clear what they're on about. But yeah, what's wild to me is that these dudes and the efforts of these real estate companies that they're like a part of, but they're not the owners of. I don't think, but it's like this concerted effort, I don't know, there's resources available for people like this. Like, dude, I know they say they got the number one Christian nationalist podcast in the world or whatever, but like these dudes don't really hit. Well, it's like, I mean, they're trying to be fucking whatever.

You can just say whatever you want. Like I always say that putting on airs is the number one podcast in the world hosted by two dipshit hillbillies talking about royal stuff. What I'm saying is, that's true. People at a much lower level of these types of movements. And maybe it's just that these people, maybe they just have rich daddies and that's all it is. But it just feels like there's more of a network there for, you know,

there's resources and shit happens. You understand what I'm trying to say? Like, we have the idea to do. I think that don't happen with us and what we would like to do. You know what I mean? Like, we've never had any shadowy outreach from like some fucking, you know, know, George Soros type of duty wants to make like a socialist utopia somewhere and wants us to, like that type of thing would just never happen. Drew, go ahead.

In my experience. I think this connects to what I was trying to express and doing a bad job with my theory on why both those groups hit that I think these dudes have money from their daddy. And buddy, I don't think it's a shadow. I think it's just a real estate company. Right. Who doesn't give a fuck what you want to do, like what your philosophy is. it's just that like we have all this big data we've rent it through our real estate.com filter these clients came to us and then they told us what they wanted and we were like here you go dude

here's where you can do it right I mean but it says that they promote to their potential customers the part of the opportunity to be part of a community with people who share your values and they also they also reached out for they also reached out to comment to one of the the owners of one of those two real estate companies who Phil notes has said, he's tweeted before, that America needs a Protestant Franco, which Francisco Franco was the dictator of Spain who made it a Catholic country. Yeah, he made it officially a Catholic country. And this dude is tweeted, we need a Protestant version of that in this country. When Phil reached out to the owner of that real estate company for comment, he responded, quote,

L.O, you're such a hack. It's dark. It's dark out there and hell is hot. I got to go. Love you, buddy. Speaking of, I got to go to Gatlinburg. Speaking of evangelism, real estate. It's no. Plug shit. It does not. I'll be in St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Florida area this Saturday at the Paper Root Comedy, November 23rd. You can find it on my website or Instagram. I'll be in Nashville. with these idiots in December.

Too Shard will not be there. I found out today. No! That sucks. I've been meeting to ask him too. Why not? He has other stuff. I'm not going to say it on the podcast.

It's not bad. We just lost 100 people that we're going to go. Valley, you're losing me now. Goodbye. Bye. They really don't hit. People have been asking me on my Patreon and stuff making sure that Tushar was going to be there.

Of course, I tell him, I'm going to find out. And then I just keep forgetting that any of that ever happened. Me too. that too sure if you're listening to this which i know you're not you're very loved because that has been and you know what's funny is like i had failed to realize just how much of a tradition it was that i know he does but like every year's such a blur to me that i was like oh yeah two shark kind of just does always do that with us um well that's a super fucking bummer but y'all can come see us get them tickets to traycrouter dot com December 12th to the 14th we're going to be in Nashville it will sell

out. It will be fun. It will be great. Peter Thiel, worst gay of all time, you think? And if not, top three worst gays? It's sports radio, baby. Does like, like, does Caligula count, you know? I was, I swear on my, Trey, I swear on my fucking life. I was going to be like, they're all bowing to Caligula. Yeah. I mean, I got to put him near the top as far as known gays, you know, who were evil. I'm sure there's been, I mean, you know, I think... By the way, we love the gays. Yes. I like making lists.

But, you know, they can be evil, too. Of course. I think they would acknowledge that. And it's bad when you're, like, when you're Peter Thiel and you are gay, it automatically makes you the top of a list. You know what I mean? It's like, that's the worst guy I've ever seen. I think that a lot of, like, I don't know how to put this, but I think there's been a lot of evil people over the course of history. Who weren't secretly gay?

I don't think necessarily that they were secretly. It seems to me that a certain level of like megalomania or whatever else is just like... Fucks everybody? You'll just fuck everything and everybody just for dominance reasons and that's not the same as being gay. No. So I'm saying I feel like... I mean attracted to men primarily. I bet a lot of emperors and shit like that throughout history have had that going on.

That's kind of why I don't want to count Caligula. I agree. Well, that's kind of why I ask does Caligula count because I feel like he's like one of those dudes too. Yeah. By the way, I was... We don't have to actually make a list. I just wanted to... Right.

We had to transfer into something. But, yeah, he really don't hit. Yeah, I don't know. I'm trying to think of another, like, famously evil gay. You can't. I can't. Because, you know why. And, again, in this situation, they have to be out and everyone knows.

It's like, we're only just now letting them get to those places. See, like, like, Lindsey Graham, right? What about Lindsey Graham? No, we, I mean, out. Can't, right. It has to be out because that's a very important distinction, you know. It's a hugely important distinction. And like, it's almost like, and I swear to God, this is like about to turn into like a gay right speech.

We as a country haven't allowed gay people who are out to become that level of evil. Because in order to become that level of evil, you have to be accepted. You know what I mean? And like Peter Thiel, he's like the one I can think of. It's like he's out. He fucking crushes. I mean, not for me, but like, you know. And.

Well, being in the three comic club or whatever, billionaire Trump's all, it's like O. Of course. It's about being black, you know. Of course. I'm OJ. Being that level rich is the same with any of those other factors. You know what I mean? Oh, Kevin Spacey.

Kevin Spacey. That's a good one. Yeah. And he came out afterwards, you know. But, yeah, you... On that note, maybe... It is kind of... Brian Singer, right?

Yeah. Hollywood... And I don't... Did he ever, like, really get his... I don't think he did. I think he's working on something right now. Rumored forever. Rumored forever, open secret, like almost ditty-esque type situations with him,

but with only gay guys and boys and stuff like that. But it's supposed to be pretty, people have said some gnarly things about him. People have said some very gnarly things. I don't know, I don't know whatever happened with that. Okay, well, he hasn't. Okay, that's produced, though. let's see directing if he's got any upcoming stuff um as far as a producer he hasn't produced something since the gifted uh television series which ended in 2009 um so a director the last thing he did

was bohemian rhapsody in 2018 so i don't know i mean it kind of seems like he's not working that's fucking six years without directing or producing something and you know right i found the article in forbes it says he's working on a documentary about his own struggles with these allegations never mind like that's right working on a documentary to about yourself to clear your own name or whatever is anyone i've never heard of anyone doing that like being like working on a like working actively on a documentary about themselves unless it was like you know tom petty and the heartbreakers had that documentary and of course they were involved in it because they were being filmed and stuff well same thing

happened with dude fucking Michael Jordan 100% had involvement with the last dance or whatever yeah but that's Mike dog you know what I mean like it's also very like it's just him being like make sure everybody knows how much I hit it's like you do hit you know but I guess my thing with it's very different than like making one about how like but I mean it does you know like yeah it's obviously nowhere near the same thing but anytime you had that happening it's going to be it's not going to be an objective viewpoint obviously of like the Bohemian Rhapsody movie wasn't because of how all those people were involved. Yeah, exactly.

But with the Michael Jordan one, though, like versus the Brian Singer one, though, I'm like, first I ain't nobody watching, ain't nobody such a goddamn fan of Brian Singer that this will turn a profit. You know what I'm saying? With Michael Jordan, it's like, I mean, dog, you know. Right. He is, he's on, dude, Michael Jordan, like, when you talk about, we always talk about, like, he's one of the hit-ness athletes ever, but like, he's just one of the hit-nest-American. to ever live in terms of like,

you know, I mean, I don't mean that hitting as in like a good person or moral person or whatever, but like, when you just look at fucking Americans, and I put Schwarzenegger on that list, he lives here now, you know what I mean? Like, just dudes who like, not only were they great at the thing that they did,

but like, it's almost like, and I don't mean this just with the Olympics or whatever, they just like, they are representative of America because of how a hard day hit. And like, dude, little kids in fucking Africa in the 90s who didn't have a TV knew who the fuck Michael Jordan was. Like it's it's goddamn wild.

So like, yeah, why wouldn't he make a documentary about himself? Singer ain't that way though. Right. Yeah, I don't even think that he, I mean, I don't remember now, but I think it's like they wanted to make the documentary anyway because it's like a super hitting story. And it's like, would you rather make it without his involvement or with his involvement? You got to make it. Of course you want you want to do it with his involvement.

And to do that, that means he's going to have creative control. he's going to have some say over, you know, how the story gets told or whatever. And there definitely was some sugar coating and stuff like that, but it still was rad as hell and hit for everybody. And it's like even with that, he still managed to come across his, I think, more of a psycho than he realized he was coming across that. Dude, that's how psychos be. Right.

They don't realize they're a psycho. That's what makes them that way. Yeah. Yeah. Like the thing is like that it being completely tailored to Michael Jordan's version of the stories is something that maybe wouldn't hit for me all the time. but certainly what we needed during COVID. Like we didn't need a fucking Michael Jordan hit piece during COVID.

We needed a celebration of a man that all hit for us. However, that said, if I could see an alternate version of the same doc, but Scotty Pippin's the one that had creative control, I would love that shit. I'm not saying it would be better, but it would, I don't know, at least with the Jordan documentary,

we were just being reminded of stuff that we already knew from pop culture a little bit. and with the Scotty version, you'd be getting like, well, that didn't get out. You know what I mean? I never heard of that. Like, Michael Jordan's son, if I'm not mistaken,

is fucking Scotty Pippin's ex-wife, correct? It's something like that. They did. Yeah, it's something like that. Yeah, right. How can you dominate a person more is like Michael Jordan's whole mindset? Like, I just feel like he made his son do that.

Or at least his son mentioned it and he was like, absolutely explore that opportunity. That really hits for me. because I've taken a lot of things personal. Yeah, but it's just, you know, Scottie was, I mean, that was his, I guess he just always resented the fact

that he got any kind of credit for it or something. Do you know what I mean? Scott, I mean, meaning like, both of them. But like, everybody acknowledged Jordan is the greatest of all time, but also it's like, you know. Scottie Pippin's the best number two man of all time. Right. And it's like, and they need each other and they were great.

And they, but they don't hit for each other though. Right. Which is, it's just a wild thing. to hit that hard as like a duo in that wave at that level for that long. I mean, I don't know. I guess, I don't know. I guess it makes just as much sense that that would drive people apart as it would bring them, you know. Well, in sports, it's different.

Like, in sports, I feel like it's different. The wilder example is Monty Python and them hating each other. Like, a lot, like John, like they, maybe not at first, but John Cleason and, and, fuck me. Eric Idol. Eric Idol. John Cleese and Eric Idol, obviously they're in a very public feud

and have been for a long time, but both of them, and everybody thought like, oh, this just came after years of, you know, whatever they used to be such good friends. Both of them have said,

like, we actually never really hit for each other. And that's why when these little things started happening, it was easier for us to just hate full totally. That's more surprising to me in comedy. And like in a thing where you have to all be cohesive or whatever

and it's like, there's a lot of like in basketball you're just go go go go go go go there's not a lot of time for like personal discussion or whatever the fuck you can just like do it famously over the years there was all kinds of infighting and politics and crazy drama on like the Saturday night light behind the scenes at Saturday night lie and stuff like that and they were still making shit that hit the whole time but I think what usually happened there was like people got little feet people got together and they did hit for each other and they made really good stuff and then other people got pushed out out along the way and they weren't part of the stuff that hits.

Right. Meaning like, you know, like, who's a good example? The Bill Braskey stuff, the, uh, when Farley and Sandler were doing stuff together, you know, it was like that was a little click. But there's been people who've showed up and said that, you know, didn't really, the experience didn't really hit for them because of that type of thing. It was like, you know, people that were there briefly, like, I think. Oh, I've heard it's a nightmare.

I mean, I'm, right. I'm friend. Well, I've heard, I've heard recently because I, you know, and I haven't listened in a few weeks. but I need to get back to it. But the Fly on the Wall podcast, David Spay and Dana Carvey. I've gotten the impression that recently with the newer generation, all this shit in recent years, it's like very different and it's pretty lovey-dovey and all that shit now, I guess.

But like before that, for the entire runtime of the show, it was just, yeah, just a fucking crabs in a bucket nightmare behind the scenes for a long time. But they still were outwardly hitting for most of that. Obviously, they did appear in there, but they remained culturally relevant. Yeah, and I guess in a Serenite Live situation, and I guess it's the same in Monty Python, too, it's like, hey, you're really in business for yourself because what you're hoping is that you'll hit so hard on Saturday Night Live that you will then have a post-Sarinate Live career. You know what I mean? So there's that like, okay, this fuck this person don't hit, but like I need this show to do this thing. But Monty, like, if Eric Idol and John Cleese didn't really hit for each other when they first started Monty Python, it's, It's just wild that they would have stayed on the team. You know what I mean? Because famously, this group was bigger.

You know what I mean? But anyways, Monty Python does hit, though. Monty Python does hit. It hits so hard. I re-watched Holy Girl last night when I was going to bed. It's a lovel film. And it's also... You should know every single word of that movie,

me and Thompson and all the boys. We can quote it, start to finish. It's also funny. and I mean, this would probably, well, I was going to say Monty Python would be more putting on airs talk, but this particular aspect of it would be more well-read talk in that, like, there's, I've seen it. A lot of Monty Python fans who talk about how great Monty Python is because they weren't political. And it's like the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Like they don't, when they see Holy Grail, they're just like, yeah, they're making front of medieval times.

Like, they don't see the, like, we're using this as a way to make fun of how it is now, you know. Especially the life of Brian. Life of Brian, for the love of God. Anything you make about Jesus is inherently political. And also, it was hugely controversial at the time. Of course. Like, for that reason. It's a testament to how hard it hits.

It's ridiculous to suggest that, you know, they were just funny to be funny. They never needed to offend nobody or make anybody mad or whatever. And it's like, no, they made plenty of people. my ass. Now they do do a thing that I think you ought do is that like, yes, they have a political message, but they're not afraid to put

silly first. They're not afraid to put comedy first. Which, you know, a lot of people don't do now, right or left. But to suggest that those guys didn't have opinion on current British politics when they were doing that is the most

assonon goddamn thing I've ever heard. And maybe it's just because, like, these are all American Monty Python fans, and so they, they're like, oh, they're, you know what I mean? They don't,

they don't get it. But like, to me, it's like, the whole thing is an indictment of, like, Holy Grail, the whole thing is,

is an indictment of feudalism, capitalism, fucking, you know, monarch and all that shit. And like, you're someone having more rights than you, and it being destined by God and shit.

And like, that shit's universal, Cah. Absolutely. Where are you going to be? Well, in the month of December, and order will be in the Bay Area, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Sacramento, December 12th through
