Queen Elizabeth's Conspiracy 00:15:30
This is an AudioWool original.
This is also a great little question.
I've got this fun conspiracy theory I've been cooking up for a while.
Let me know what you all think.
Serve me up.
I'm here.
Thesis.
The British royal family is trying to take over the USA and reunite it with the UK.
Fully agree.
You're the Subway Takes guy?
Yeah.
100% agree.
Great work.
Facts.
Queen Elizabeth had Princess Diana killed because she was British and a commoner.
She's Elton John's friend.
Interesting.
Queen Elizabeth orchestrated Prince Harry to court and marry Meghan Markle, U.S. citizen slash Hollywood oligarch.
Also Elton John's friend.
This is getting Meghan Markle really in poor health right now?
I think so, actually.
They photoshopped a family picture because she didn't have a picture.
That was, I think that was a while ago when she had cancer.
Yeah, yeah.
They created such a hullabaloo around cancer?
That's also Elton John's friend.
This is freaking me out.
A hullabaloo around this relationship, quote, forcing Henry to, quote, denounce his royal title.
However, everyone still calls him Prince and her Duchess.
They got a Netflix deal to integrate them into the public as lovely commoners.
One of us, not one of those disgusting monarchs like Prince Andrew.
Not prince anymore, by the way.
Had the title stripped.
Once Harry and Meghan's kids are old enough, they will run for political office and use their family name and influence to win, much like the Kennedys.
That's interesting, actually.
And talking about how their grandmother was a lowly commoner.
So how could they be monarchs?
They're for the people, of course, a la populism.
Trump has already begun spreading the thought seeds of being America's king, so it wouldn't be new to our zeitgeist for them.
I wish I had conspiracy music because this is starting to give me the chill.
Okay.
For them to take on that mantle.
This could be a long con of getting the British Empire back together, USA annexing Canada and Greenland, then finally using old English law to merge everyone together under one monarch monarch.
Counted out monarchical?
Monarchic.
Thank you.
Thanks, Dad.
Monarchical?
There's no way I could.
No, it's monarchical, but, like, you know, it's.
Monarchical.
You say it.
Mono.
Monocle.
Monarchicole.
That's the thing you wear on your hat.
Which also Elton John wears?
Monarchal.
Oh, immediately afterwards says not a word.
Great.
Shit.
Ah, fuck.
Monarch says that.
Not a word.
Family.
Maybe using this to fight Putin's rebuilding of the Soviet Union Empire.
Some say the Cold War never ended.
Alex Jones glazed the fuck out of Queen Elizabeth when she died.
He went against everything he stood for.
He attacked everyone for being happy a British monarch died, which as a 1776 libertarian, he should be celebrating the fuck out of.
But he's a right-wing populist.
This is just how I see the crumpet crumbling.
Now, I don't really believe in this, but it's my first fun conspiracy roleplay.
Okay.
RERP.
Maybe this is more suited for Fright Days conspiracy feed.
Interesting.
I think I like this question before you print.
I'm just kidding.
No, I did.
Yeah, I just thought it was a fun little big question.
Fun little big question.
I like this theory.
It actually makes kind of sense, right?
Like the direction of populist leaders are becoming more and more influential, and people don't seem to give a shit really about quote-unquote politics in our politicians.
I would think I could see if any of the royal family had like a significant poll over here, but I don't feel like there is one.
Well, but now.
But I feel like in politics, they're just not present.
Hmm.
I guess, I mean, yeah, I don't see Harry doesn't really do anything actually.
Yeah, yeah, but I think the people who like are in tune with that.
With the royals?
Yeah, like, I think they just are the non-political people.
So I think a really big flip-flop.
How do you merge?
I'm outside you say flip-flop or did you say flip-zero?
Because I'm out here and I'm worshiping the queen.
I'm thinking, oh, I'd love to smoke through that.
The queen is dead, dude.
That's Milo's wearing a wig.
I just realized I have to go now.
All right, Flipper Zero.
All right, man.
Sorry about that.
It's kind of bursting his bubble a little bit.
I think that's creative.
I like it.
I think it's fun.
I think that.
I hear you.
Not the political.
Who's going to be the next president, though?
Hunter Biden, dude.
That's what my favorite thing is.
That makes sense, right?
That's along the same lines of political monarchy and populism.
Well, I mean, we had the Bush family, right?
Sure.
But that way.
People think the Trump family.
Yeah, people are like, next, next 20 years or whatever.
No.
I love the idea of, listen, this is like the dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard in my life.
Imagine being so politically stupid that you would want someone who you don't know what their beliefs are to be president.
I want Barron to be the president.
What the fuck do you mean you want Baron to be the president?
Drawing Hentai, dude.
He's the mod of Rule 34.
What are you talking about?
It's ridiculous.
Rule 34, Baron Trump.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Ow!
Oh, no.
Shit, street sharks are wrecked.
Yeah, it's a crossover episode.
But, like, yeah, I saw.
I guess I could see.
Listen, Hunter Biden.
Hot octopus.
That's new.
Well, what's funny is, like, the right seems to believe that Hunter Biden wants to be president.
I don't care.
Also, do you think Obama's a good name for a dog?
No.
Is your wife trying to name the dog Obama?
No, I just thought it'd be funny to name my dog Obama.
That's kind of funny.
It's pretty funny.
Nobody on the left wants Hunter Biden president.
I wouldn't mind it.
He seems like a fine guy.
Yeah, I love populists.
But I mean, no, I don't.
Yeah, I think that – I just don't see that happening.
I'm like a politician to be – I mean, I don't know.
Yeah.
No, I see what the, but, but the, the thesis was that the British are going to try to retake over America.
The British aren't even in charge of the UK.
That's a good point.
Like, that's like, like, the monarchy is just.
So for culture thing now.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not.
No one's in control of anything.
Yeah, but that horse bites people.
That's cool.
That's funny.
Yeah.
That's like another ratatouille situation.
It's the guy on the guy on the horse.
Yeah, yeah.
That's kind of cool.
Bite the child.
That's my conspiracy.
Bite the queen.
Bite the queen.
My conspiracy is that Ugly Sonic was the marketing stunt.
I could see that.
Yeah, the first Sonic they put out just to get attention.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they did it for Tim Robinson so he could have a second job on the offseason.
Oh, yeah.
He did the Sonic movie, was it?
Tim Robinson.
No, no, no.
He did, it was the Chip and Dale movie, and then Ugly Sonic was in the Chip and Dale movie, and Tim Robinson did the voice for him.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was like they went to like a comics convention and ugly some mazes there.
I wish I had the button.
I don't have the girl.
Yeah.
This is from Troy.
Quick, honest question.
What doesn't work for you either?
That's a really good one.
I guess domestic violence doesn't work for me either, right?
Yeah, yeah, DV.
I'm not a fan of that.
What?
Different things.
Don't say it like that.
Pellets, maybe, don't work for me either.
Grilling pellets?
Yeah, I mean.
He's a tough question.
It is a really hard question.
I'm like a real salty guy sometimes, and there's a lot of things that don't work for me.
America in 2025 ain't working for me.
Health insurance ain't working for you.
That ain't working for me.
Fuck.
Okay, that's good.
So when we say what doesn't work for us either, this isn't something that we're willing to domestic abuse for, right?
Yeah, I wouldn't.
Oh, no, I would never.
Okay, just to clarify, this is from the Steven quote where he yells at his wife.
I found myself having old man crash outs.
Oh, really?
Like, I was installing a ceiling fan and the screw wouldn't go in.
Yeah, I was like, this fucking thing.
I swear to fucking God.
You know, but sometimes when I say, you dumb son of a bitch to the screw, it actually does.
Well, what's funny is my wife was so kind and she like, she's like, we have a big box of screws.
You want to look in there for screws that would work?
I'm like, this is a screw that came with it.
She found screws in my box of screws that work.
Wow.
And they worked so well.
But I was having a crash out.
That did work.
It did work.
Yeah.
The crash out to nothing.
You know what I hate so much is that my screw up.
I got to wear a hat at my job and sometimes I'll like put, I'll need to grab something off of a, off a cart.
Oh.
And it will bonk my head.
Like it'll knock my head back because the tail of the hat hits the cart.
Yeah, yeah.
That doesn't work for me.
That doesn't work for you either.
It doesn't work either.
I don't like that.
Listener, what doesn't work for you?
Reach out to a person.
Should we do one that doesn't work for me?
What didn't work for you this week?
Well, it's hard because it is in the midst of a verbal domestic incident.
You're right.
You're right.
It's kind of a tough.
Bananp, bam, bananp, bam.
It's tough to make a bid out of that.
All right.
This is from someone named.
Is that Troy?
Yeah, but you Troy.
Yeah, I love that question, Troy.
Have you been thinking?
I worked with a guy named Troy, and Troy was wild.
Troy was great.
I liked him.
He was a drug addict, former drug addict.
He's doing some really good work on himself.
I like Troy a lot.
Troy was a really good guy.
Have you seen him recently?
No, what?
Oh, great.
I thought we were about to.
I saw him doing great.
It was really great to see him.
Oh, man.
I'd love to hear that.
This is from someone named Dumb.
Do you think Steven owns a sword?
Yes.
This is a great question.
Yes, I do believe he does.
I bet that he does, but I bet maybe it's not on display anymore, but he can't get rid of it.
This is something he bought at a- It's in a guest bedroom.
This is something you won at a carnival.
No, I think it's plastic.
He's the kind of guy who would have a katana and he'd call it a katana.
Katana.
He would do it like his katana.
Katana.
Katana.
Stupid.
And he'd have like a lore to it, I feel like.
Yeah, he sets it on a pillow with Japan.
Just doing this shit.
It's like, shut up.
Shut the fuck up, dude.
God, dude.
He's like, have you ever played dynamic?
You look at the sword on the wall and you look back at him and his hair is like pulled back.
He's got a pimoto on and like those like those platform shoes, you know?
Tiny little knots.
Yeah, looking like fucking Steven Seagull's hot trash.
Man.
Does he have a sword?
He might have one of those Nazi relics.
Do you think he has one of those knives?
Like the knives you see on Instagram ads where some guy goes like hikes out to the woods and cooks a steak on a fire that he makes one of them big ass thick boys.
I bet he's an Instagram ad sword guy.
Oh god, I bet.
Yeah.
Swords.
Or, have you guys seen that Instagram ad for like a hiking stick that has three knives in it or whatever?
Wait, you got three?
No, bring it up.
Oh, man.
The guy's like, you think this is an ordinary hiking stick, but it's not.
And he like unscrews it and there's like three different knives.
Hell yeah.
I do know the one where it looks like a walking.
Credit card gun.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, the credit card guns.
I don't know if I see how many knives are in this survival.
Tactical survival trucking pole.
Yeah, and that's got a lot of.
Well, it's got a screwdriver.
It's got a couple blanks.
Can you imagine screwdriver?
Yeah.
With a fucking hush.
Jesus Christ.
All right.
Well, yeah, swords.
I mean, he's not like a Game of Thrones.
I bet he definitely did have swords.
You think he had a broad sword?
Before he got into guns?
A bastard sword?
I think he had a katana, like a display katana.
Yeah, I think that's more like.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In his hot apartment.
His hot couch apartment.
I want to follow up to this question with you guys.
Does Stephen play guitar?
I think he owns a guitar.
I think he owns a guitar.
What guitar do you think he owns?
Kotakamimi.
You think he owns an acoustic?
Yeah, that's the one that's got an ovasion?
Yeah, ovasion, the roundback guitar.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe an Ivanez guy.
It could be an Ivanez black acoustic.
Like a black guitar.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think I could see him with like a neverage.
Like Chatayama Pacifica.
Very.
That's true.
He only knows how to play the Johnny Cash version of Hurt.
That's pretty cool.
What else could he do?
Born a gang of a card.
I mean, he would know.
He didn't know a dashboard.
Yeah.
Well, that's why he's got the ovation so he can tap out the fucking cajon parts.
No, but I guess you're right.
So he does lean, he does lean more dashboard.
He totally does.
He doesn't have a telecaster.
Let's just say that.
No.
Okay, interesting.
Something to think about.
I bet if he has an acoustic story.
And that question's from Dennis.
That's from me, yeah.
Wow.
No less initial.
You're talking about he's got a jumbo acoustic, is what you say.
Yeah, for sure.
Kind of like Chris Kraba did.
Yeah, just like we did.
Yeah.
Yep.
Matching jumbo bodies because we're like, damn, that guy's cool as hell.
Yeah.
I'll love Chris Katie.
The jumbo body on that small, small man.
Oh, yeah.
Looks like he's playing a freaking bass guy.
5'3 and he's playing himself.
Yeah.
So thank you, Dumb.
Dumb has two more questions.
Dumb, dumb one, dumb two.
Dogs or cats?
I've always been a dog man.
Dogs.
I'm gonna say I have a cat.
What?
Three doggers?
I have a cat.
You do have a cat.
I have a cat.
Yeah.
I like my cat a lot.
It's fine.
I like dogs better.
I had an ex-girlfriend in this city, and she abandoned her cat in her apartment, and I had to break in.
What does that mean?
Did she abandon her apartment as well?
Yeah, she abandoned her apartment with her cat inside of it.
And then she just left town.
Was she on vacation and you stole her cat?
No, she left all of her DVDs there, too.
Did you go like Napoleon Dynamite?
What else on DVD?
I don't even remember.
Yeah, but that's how I acquired a cat.
Season two of Arrested Development DVD.
Yeah, yeah.
One and three on the disc.
That's cool.
That's very cool.
Long Division Doodles 00:04:37
Yeah, that was Little Lady.
That was that dog.
Not dog.
That was a cat.
But then I had a dog who was in earlier episodes, if you guys can remember those episodes.
Yeah, it was a sweet.
Oh, God, that was the worst.
Your dog.
Just screaming.
Well, screaming.
It was mostly toenails on your hardwood floor.
She also had both widescreen and full-screen version of Train Spotting on DVD.
Not that one.
Your other one.
I'm just thinking of funny things to stumble on if someone left a bunch of DVDs in an apartment.
I feel like it would be a bunch of Walmart $5.
Yeah, I think it's like two copies of Bill and Ted's Bogus Adventure for some reason.
It's the split.
It's got both versions with the first and second movement.
That's not until they put it out on Blu-ray.
Just HD DVDs before.
You can't even use them.
I love that.
Okay, last one from Dumb.
I can't think of any questions.
The pressure is too much.
All I can think of is dumb shit like, can you do long division?
And I think so.
I haven't done it in a while.
I mean, I can.
No, I don't think I could actually do it.
My father was an elementary school teacher, so I think I'd probably ask him.
I bet that if you ask him to do it.
Yeah.
I think with a cook refresher, it would all come back to me.
But I'm overly.
I know.
You do the thing with like the whoop, like the whoop and then the cross.
And then you go, well, there's a number to this number how many times?
And you say, you know, this is nine and this is three.
Yeah.
But like, isn't like the long division.
Maybe because the long division part is like you're solving an equation before you're dividing it.
You're thinking square root with the shipti.
No, no, I think it's used to do division slower.
Sure, sure.
Look at this one.
All right.
You're drawing on this.
Three.
Yeah.
That's division.
Three divided by nine.
The answer is three.
But that is also a square root.
The answer is three.
That is also screwed.
I just use Chat GPT because I'm 19.
You use ChatGPT for basic division?
Well, yeah, clearly.
This is from Kitty's Brain Vomit.
Speaking of cats, interesting.
Oh, yeah.
Wait.
Yeah.
Why are cat people?
I had this real weird team.
I don't mind cats.
All of my exes have had cats.
I've had bad cats in my life.
I have good cats in my life.
Yeah.
My current cat is awesome.
Current dog is awesome.
I'm getting another dog soon.
You've said that a couple shows now.
Just really excited about this.
We just decided this week to get a dog.
You've said it a couple times.
Maybe we've done a lot of podcasting lately.
It is lately, I think.
It's fine.
I'm hack sighted to meet your new dog.
You fucking better be.
What?
I'm going to let the people on the show.
Okay.
I'm going to name it a hoy guy.
Ahoy guy.
Hey, hoy guy.
Get over here.
No, yeah, all of my exes have had cats.
My last ex had a dog, though.
Old dog.
I never met him.
Never taught tricks.
Can't teach him tricks.
Yeah, exes have had dogs in the past.
Old dogs?
I like dogs.
I like dogs.
No, new tricks.
Let's talk about dog breeds, dog breeds.
Because I think that's a big, Stephen likes boxers, right?
Yeah.
I mean, we had Joe Lewis, the dog.
Yeah, yeah.
I have a St. Bernard.
Do you?
Yes.
Okay.
What are you looking over at him?
That's not a St. Bernard I see, though.
That's what I bought.
He got ripped off?
Yeah, he got ripped off.
Yeah, yeah.
I've seen a St. Bernard before, and that is a small St. Bernard.
It was pretty small.
It might be a St. Bernard.
It could be.
I don't really know.
Well, I also was told that that's a Boston Terrier, but it clearly looks a little bit more like a boxer.
All right.
I have a golden.
Oh, yeah.
And I'm getting an Aussie.
Wow.
The dog that I used to have is a Frenchie.
A little French guy.
I haven't really had an animal except for that cat who was an Egyptian mew.
How did you end up doing with that?
My roommate took her when I moved, and she liked, they were the best, they were closest buds.
And then I was a second friend.
But I think the breed really only attaches to one or two people, and that's why I was sort of cool with her sometimes.
And other times she would just avoid everybody.
But she eventually, I believe, got hit by a car, unfortunately, because she became a full outdoor cat.
Because my friend got pregnant, and that was kind of that.
So cat toxoplasmosis.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
I was kind of mattering to that lady.
What do you mean?
And that's a whole sad situation.
Okay, well, I don't need to really need that.
Kitty's brain vomit says, have you ever thought about doing what Knowledge Fight has done and jumping into the past archived episodes?
Trans Rights and Period Blood 00:11:45
And we have.
We do, yeah.
Yeah.
It has been a little bit.
So I thought you were a fan.
You don't need to say that.
Don't need to say that to them.
Kitty's brain vomit's a paid paid truck on.
Kitty Brain Vomit has listened to more of our show than I have.
Quite, yeah, you don't ever listen.
Guarantee.
No, I mean, there's been a couple moments where we cover episodes where we jump into like the early Steven days where he is on radio in Michigan.
That's a lot of fun.
No, that's almost doing fine with that.
Oh, man, I tell you what.
Barbara two bacon cheeseburger sandwiches in the morning.
What's my favorite character, truly, that Jared does is Fun Dip, the original co-host of the show, before even Jared Monroe.
And then eventually, of course, a Hoy Guy and Gerald.
But yeah, I have, listen, I swear to God, I'm going to get Fun Dip on the show.
Like, I need Fun Dip on the show.
I've called him.
He still does radio.
Will you call him to his radio show and confront him on the air?
See, I called and asked if he was working and he was off that day.
But he does work at the radio station still.
And I did reach out to him asking for his personal email address as a comment on his YouTube page.
And he said, just ask the comment here.
And I was like, that's not what I want to do.
I want to email you and actually.
But he replied.
He did.
So he exists.
He's doing fine.
But yeah, speaking about the past, I'm trying to think of the most recent one we did.
Did we go back for Kane?
Dean Kane episode ways back, yeah.
But I do, I mean, listen, it's been pretty sporadic.
Sporadic summer is what we called it.
And then sporadic fall.
And now it's winter.
But yeah, I'm hoping to be a little bit more consistent with the present.
And then every once in a while going into the past because I do need a break from what he's doing sometimes.
He's kind of a bad guy in the current.
And he was just kind of dumb and naive.
When I'm having a bad day and then I come here and do this, it doesn't help much.
No.
You've got to listen to a bunch of bullshit.
You don't need to put that on me because now I'm like, calling you.
Well, I'm just saying, I guess you're an adult man and you can make choices to my own call.
Yeah, but fuck, dude, I don't want you to have a worse time.
No, it's fine.
I think going back, you know, it's really interesting to me to go back and do old stuff.
Specifically, the way that he articulates things, his voice, it's so different.
Back then, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, he was a tea party guy back then.
It was different.
Well, I think what's interesting.
Now it's firmly placed against.
Yeah, he was pastel sweaters back then, and now he's, whoops, he's got guns on his desk.
You know, it's a little bit different, right?
He's like flak jacket version of that.
So I don't know.
Yeah, going to the past.
This is also a great little question here.
Have you ever created a time machine noise?
Sorry.
Yeah, you fucked me up with it.
I was like trying to figure it out.
Oh, get the little transitions there.
Very cool.
Have you ever considered creating a bundle of episodes with like themes?
Like when Crowder has done similar events and how he's changed from each one?
And that's a really great idea.
I like that idea a lot.
Yeah.
We could do all the shootings.
We could sell them as DVDs.
Every time Crowder called it.
Well, that's an interesting one, too.
We could do election nights.
I mean, that's one we could bundle together.
I'm trying to think what else.
You could sell them as box DVDs or box CDs that he is at Walmart.
That's a good idea.
That's a great idea.
Yeah.
I also want to know from the listeners what our favorite, what your favorite episode of ours is.
Something that you would suggest to someone as a starting point.
Because I'd love to put that as like higher up.
I think you can pin episodes now on Spotify and on Apple Podcasts.
I also would love to know what I should tell my friends to listen to.
Because I don't want to just dive in.
Yeah, just start.
Dive in.
You'll know all these characters.
I mean, it is kind of, if you think about it, our show is very niche.
Very niche.
And if you jump right in, we do a lot of references, and there's a lot of guests on our show, like Flipper Zero and all these other characters.
But like, you may not just like the neck to follow laugh.
Yeah.
What the fuck is that?
Yeah.
I mean, it's, yeah.
So it would be good to tell people, you know, where to start, I guess.
It's kind of an intimidating podcast to just jump into.
There he goes.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
Yeah.
But no, I think that's a good idea having themed episodes.
Not themed, but like themed bundles.
Yeah, we could do the replatforming bundled with the lineup announcement, right?
Like, those are big changes.
Clean slate.
Clean slate.
That's a great episode as well.
Yeah, we can call that one little big league.
Anytime.
We can find that celebrity.
Steven goes to the movies.
Yeah.
Or anytime that Steven gets sued is always a good one.
Lawsuits are great.
Well, deposition, the Jared Monroe situation.
I think there's a handful of times.
The Black Rock situation.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Whatever happened to that.
They just settled.
It's fine.
Yeah.
I'll dig into it.
I mean, I haven't looked at my Pacer account in a long time to kind of update myself with the active lawsuits that Steven has.
The ones he doesn't talk about are the times that he steals, he'll steal pictures from people and use them on his show.
And he gets sued all the time for that stuff.
My bad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's just a stupid guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
This guy called Giddy keeps following me.
All these letters.
He's using just fucking fully geddied, like watermarked pictures on his website.
Would you ever consider doing deep dives on past Snark about Crowder and breaking down some of the lore for people who are new?
Another great question.
Deep dives on past Snark.
I mean, I feel like that's kind of what we do with the Sam Cedar episode.
That was like a really significant dive into the relationship between Ethan Klein, Sam Cedar, and Steven Crowder.
I mean, yeah, I can't imagine a deeper version of that, right?
Like we're talking about his earlier controversies, you know?
I mean, I'm working on a breakdown of controversies for another podcast I'm guesting on, but I feel like we have kind of covered all the big ones, really, which is, I mean, not that there will be some coming out this year, but I mean, he called Candace Owens a cunt this week.
So, like, cool, dude.
Like, I mean, I think that that's heating up.
That'll be kind of interesting.
No, I wonder, like, the early, early, like, he probably had some controversial things that he said during the days of fun dip.
You know, one that we haven't done is him painting Mohammed with period blood.
I don't think we really got into that.
What?
You didn't know that?
I think I started talking about it not too long ago.
Was it like an animation?
No, he got sued by the estate of Bob Ross because Beeves dressed up as Bob Ross painting Mohammed with period blood.
Where does the period blood come in?
Did he just describe red blood period blood?
Well, yeah, I'm not exactly sure what he used to represent period blood, but it was in reference to, I think, what was a Vox video at the time where he was where they were painting with their period blood as like, I don't know, some sort of empowering gesture.
I don't know.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
That reminds me, I got to show you a picture of a cake.
Great.
What?
Reminds me I got to show you a picture of a cake.
Cake.
Oh, I'll remind you later.
Yeah.
But that's definitely one that we haven't talked about yet.
So there's that.
The Vox adpocalypse.
We haven't really doved.
Divined.
Divined.
Thank you.
Into.
Thanks for correcting that.
I don't know what it is.
But a divided into.
Yeah, we haven't done that yet.
Deforvid.
But I mean, there's a lot of snark.
It would be great.
De4v did.
Yeah.
Yeah, it seems like the manager is the one who did all this stuff.
That's amazing.
Yeah, that's what it's looking like.
Well, it would be great.
One of these days we'll do a full look at characters.
That'd be cool.
Like a Jared Monroe guy.
We may have a character.
Like a Beastiery.
Excuse me.
Like a Beastiery of all the characters.
What is that?
Like in a video game, like a booklet of all the creatures.
Is that what that's called?
Okay.
Is that how you pronounce it?
Yeah, it's Beastiery.
I've never heard of that.
I don't play video for you.
Like a Polkadot might be a hooker.
Like a hunter would have a beastie area in their house of all the trophies.
Sure.
Okay.
Yeah, we should do that.
We should do like a graphic that shows dots where they went, who they dressed up as.
Yeah, which ones went to the blaze, where'd they go after that?
Yeah, yeah.
Like the who fucked who on the office kind of.
Excuse me?
Go ahead.
Okay.
Yeah, I think some episodes focusing on side characters would be interesting.
Like a duo and a hoy guy breakdown, like cover the whole career and beef.
I want to learn his name.
One of these days you'll figure it out.
So thank you, Kitty's brain vomit.
Really please.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
This is from Liz P. Can I get a trans rights?
Trans rights.
Rights.
Trans rights.
Our human rights.
And that is hella cool.
And Liz, you can get more than a trans rights.
You just helped us.
We're going to donate $100 to the trans lifeline right now.
Yeah.
Cool.
Hell yeah.
We've talked about trans rights on the show plenty.
But I want to just follow up with, I thought again about how all of these things, all of these trans issues that Matt Walsh, Steven Crowder focus on, it's all trans men conditioning to women.
Well, and except for Audrey Hale, of course.
Yeah, exactly.
Unless if it's narrative, right?
But I hate the way that they talk about it so much on the show.
I think that it's just people are people.
Let people be people.
Trans people are people.
Yeah.
What if I get horny for him?
They'll do it, do they?
That's the problem.
I don't want to have to think about that.
Oh, man.
Yeah, Trans Lifeline, if you want to also support them, it's translifeline.org.
They seem to be doing some really great stuff.
So that's where we'll be donating some money right now.
Hell yeah, trans rights, baby.
Trans rights.
Jake E. Shrugrat Prime.
Jake E. Is that Crowder?
Chowderhead?
I think Jake.
I think Jake is a chowderhead.
So be expecting your mug in the mail pretty soon here, Jake.
Someday.
Got a handful of questions from Jake.
If you don't get the mug, just email Stephen himself.
Louder with Crowder.
Yeah.
Gerald at louderwithcrowder.com.
That's where you need to send your address.
Oh, this is, I meant to delete this one.
How'd y'all get to be so stinking awesome?
That's just nice.
Oh, I missed Lucas.
I did actually.
I mean, I just thought it was nice, but I didn't need to.
I didn't need to leave it in.
Here's how it started.
As a basketball player.
I'm just kidding.
Okay.
I laid eyes on Dennis for playing a hoop.
Can I tell you a quick story about intramural basketball?
Dribbling Disaster 00:06:37
Yeah, actually.
I'm dribbling.
I'm dribbling.
Yeah.
We're in a basketball court.
There's hoops all around.
Yeah.
There's a girl standing under the hoop, tying her hair.
Okay.
I shoot.
I miss.
Of course.
I miss.
Of course.
Lands right on her hand.
Uh-oh.
And it bends her thumbnail back.
And it's all busted up.
I hate that.
And people were so fucking mad at me.
Well, yeah.
And I'm like, she was standing under the fucking hoop.
Well, but you didn't hit the hoop.
I know.
I didn't make it in.
It hit the backboard.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, but I fucked up her thumbnail.
Yeah, that's rough.
You know, speaking of rough, that's a core memory of mine.
And I remember the guy who yelled at me.
Core membership later on beat me up on the playground.
You got a salt.
This is for the fingernail.
You got a salt in my one?
Yeah, yeah.
I've never been in a fight.
I've been in a couple.
No, unfortunately.
Yeah, he's a little child fight.
He beat me up.
Yeah, it was a great fight.
I, I mean, kind of a loner kid.
I always think about this.
When I was probably third or fourth grade, my parents, God bless them, always made me do sports like basketball, soccer, baseball?
Yeah, as well.
We played on baseball.
Yeah, we played baseball.
You saw my nose get broken.
Oh, yeah, dude.
By me.
You didn't know you didn't do it.
Point of view.
No, that was the worst.
I'll tell that story second.
No, basketball.
One time I stole the ball, and then everything goes slow motion in my head, and the music swells.
And I'm dribbling down towards the hoop.
No one's in sight.
Exactly.
And I shoot and it goes in swish.
And I realize that I scored a basket on the other side.
The wrong side.
Great job, dude.
The winning point for the other team.
Well, I don't know if it counts.
Does that count?
It does, yeah.
They get to the point.
Yeah.
When I played intermural soccer, and this girl would constantly be like, you know, I wouldn't be expecting it because they're like, we're on the same team.
And then she would like shoot, you know, kick the ball and it would just go right past me.
And I'd be like, man.
Oh, I didn't think that you were going to do that for real.
That's true.
And so they would give the point to the other team.
God damn it.
No, but the same girl kicked, she kicked the ball into my face, and I couldn't close my jaw for a week.
Ouch, ouch.
It reminds me of that kid.
So there was a catcher.
He was 16, which was too old to be on the Little League baseball team at the time.
He had just transferred in from California.
He had a white kid with Coolio braids, and I thought he was really cool.
I was like, this fucking guy is the coolest.
He smokes cigarettes, and I'm like, I should start smoking.
Wouldn't that be sick?
Mom, give me some beats.
I would love.
Yeah.
So he's very strong, very good arm.
They made him be catcher because of this.
They're like, well, listen, you can't.
You can't be anywhere else.
I was playing second base, which means for me, just standing still in one place, not paying attention, waiting for the game to be over.
And someone steals first to second, and he sees them stealing.
He throws the ball from catcher, and I catch it with my face.
Hell yeah, dude.
Blows up my nose.
Blood goes miss out, hits the freaking base.
There's blood everywhere.
I got a big old fist full of by the time I get to the hospital.
Nicest guy ever calls me later that night and is like, are you okay?
He's like, super.
And I was like, this dude fucking rules.
Listen, man, I got an extra pack of cigarettes.
Yeah, you can give me all these fucking smokes.
Sad thing, after that season, he, of course, because he's the coolest guy, ends up hooking up with his best friend's girlfriend.
Oh, boy.
And the guy comes up and tries to intimidate him with a BB gun.
And the guy's like, get the fuck out of here.
I'm clearly the cool guy with the coolio braids.
And I kiss your girlfriend.
The guy shows up with a shotgun and kills him.
Oh, my God.
Kills him with a gun.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, one of the coolest guys I ever knew.
God damn.
My jaw dropped.
Yeah.
So that was a kind of unfortunate situation there.
Oh, I had like my intermural, or not, it wasn't interamural, I guess.
It was Heise basketball.
I had a criminal kid on my team, and he was cool as hell.
Yeah, criminals are awesome.
And I was always like, this fucking guy is cool as hell.
Everyone else on the team was like, he's a criminal.
And I was like, yeah, fucking guy's cool.
Look at him.
He loves it.
He does smoke.
He's a fifth grader.
He smokes.
He should be in seventh grade.
He listens to the insane.
That's how he gets cigarettes because he's cool.
Actually, my experience with insane clown posse kids growing up.
I'm really good friends with one.
He made me watch Big Money Hustlers with him in eighth grade.
And then in ninth grade, he got a girlfriend and I made fun of him because I was like, because he forgot where he came from.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you don't hang out on the weekends anymore.
And I was like, what's up?
What's up?
What was that for a hole or something?
And so, yeah, he said, not for you.
And then he put, we were in metals class and he put a drill to my chest and he turned it on and it like rips through my hoodie and it like ripped through my t-shirt underneath it.
And then Mr. Josevar, who is our teacher, who just as like a side note, wore a thought he thought he was going to die like Lieutenant Dan, like his father before him and his father's father before him.
Yeah.
He thought he was going to die on a specific day and he wore a tuxedo to metals class.
And so just, I'm sure, just stunk like shit at the end of the day.
So he wore it because he thought he was going to die in front of a bunch of students.
Which is insane.
And then he just watched this shit go down and like my shirt and jacket just get absolutely destroyed by the hands of this insane juggalo.
Yeah.
And then he just like, I punched this kid in the mouth because all the threads got stuck against like the drill bit and it stopped the drill from moving.
Yeah, but you're all tied up.
They're all tied up.
And I was like, he's still holding it.
And so I just decked him in the mouth.
And then Josavar was like, this other kid's got to go to the office.
Like, you're fine.
You hit him.
But I'll say that you didn't.
Basically, it was like pretty sick.
That's cool.
Did he end up dying on that day, though?
No, he never died.
He's still alive.
I'm currently alive.
Wow.
Yeah, he never took it off.
That's good.
He smells like shit and homeless for sure.
Exactly.
He walks around.
Big Turning Point in Life 00:05:15
He's like metals class.
He does everything as if he's in a final destination movie.
He's just back against everything.
He's driving behind log trucks all the time.
He's like, God damn, break that.
Do something.
What led you each to this point?
Being just, yeah.
I mean, music.
I got a lot of stuff.
Mostly music.
Yeah, I guess that's a great point.
Yeah, music.
I mean, that's the big turning point in my life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That really is it.
I mean, like, I moved to Austin with a dream and a drum set, basically.
And I never left my hometown.
Well, yeah.
That's okay.
Yeah.
For me, it's music.
And sort of like the just, I know these guys because of music and then the casting couch, Lou Perlman.
Yeah, that was really big for us.
That was huge.
The advance that we got, too.
But yeah, to you know, live in life, like I was saying earlier, have sort of, you have to have sort of the devil may care attitude to kind of like do music as a career.
And I've had some success and I've had a lot of fails in that also.
But this is like, I don't know, in a way, like a nexus of sort of like creative, sort of where to put the creative energy.
And for me, that's kind of like as I that that part of my life is waning sometimes, I feel like, but this is still like a good spot to like put my efforts.
And, you know, and lovely talking to you guys.
Well, yeah, it's 2026.
So it's going to be a big year.
Big year.
Yeah.
What do you guys do for New Year's?
Probably freaking counted.
I bet I counted in reverse.
The last thing I did was counted down from 10.
Wow.
I had to think about doing work the next day.
So I probably just chilled.
I had a big Martinelli's.
I usually drink a whole bottle of Martinelli's by myself.
Like a big Carlo Rossi bottle.
I'm doing karaoke with my friends at my house.
That's cool.
Well, I didn't get a fighter anymore.
They don't have Story of the Year songs on just fucking freaking out into the ceiling.
I was thinking, how do I roll over your back, knock over the plates in the cabinet?
Clearly.
I agree with the music thing.
I think that that is definitely how we got here.
But for podcasting, like I said, this is probably my 15th year of podcasting, right?
Yeah, it's been a while.
And the only person I can thank for that is Man Upstairs.
Two people.
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
Probably Ira Glass and Bam Margera.
Great.
Because to honestly equivalent people, I mean, really, the more I think about it, the more I'm like, oh, I think my entire life has been influenced by Jackass, right?
Sure.
It's just weird.
They're of a certain age.
Well, yeah, but there's something about Jackass that I don't think people really think about or give enough credit.
But it was the first thing that was like, oh, this is something that is, you can do this, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's accessible.
Get a camcorder.
Like, do it with fun.
And do dumb shit.
Good point.
I guess I'll read a question from Dr. Sayer that makes a little bit of sense here.
Do the louder than Crowder Boys play sack-tap like the louder with Crowder Boys?
That's funny.
No.
No.
I was never, but I had friends that sack-tapped and they sack-tapped me one time and I uppercupped them, upper-cutted them in the dick.
I upper-cupped them in our game.
Yeah, that's actually probably better.
I uppercupped them in the dick.
Yeah, I cupped them in the dick.
I don't play that game.
And so, you know, my eye for an eye, but it's like an eye for two eyes for one eye if it's me.
I think I keep my hands to myself for the most part.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
Sometimes I give you a hug maybe twice a year.
Yeah, I give Jared hugs a lot, but I see Dennis all the time.
You don't ever touch each other.
Yeah, we do handshakes, or you give me a pound.
Yeah, I toss.
But no.
I think the first, this is the weirdest thing.
Like I said, it was Ira Glass's This American Life and Kevin Smith's smod cast stuff were like the first podcast I listened to.
But the first thing that I really listened to that I thought felt more like a podcast was Bam Margera's Sirius XM radio show, Radio Bam.
And I know, like, right?
Like, that was the thing that got me into podcasting was Bam Margera's, like, him and freaking Brandon Novak getting really, really drunk and like playing hymn songs on Siri XM.
I think that that was without that and without Jackass, I don't think I would be doing any of those, which is really weird.
Yeah.
Because now he's awful.
Like he's the worst.
He's a freak.
Yeah.
And he is sober, so congratulations on that.
Good on him.
But he's a Trump guy now.
Great.
Cool.
So that's kind of cool.
I don't fucking know, man.
I think a lot about where I am in life and whether or not it has substantial value to the world.
Meat, Zippo, and Culinary Greatness 00:03:54
Well, it doesn't.
That's how it feels.
But I think I got to the point where I am with just the idea of the way we spend our days is the way we spend our lives.
That's like my whole mantra for life.
I'm not going to have to do your days and where we spend our lives.
So people think they get caught up in these cycles where they just do shit that they don't really care about because eventually it'll get better.
But I say, fuck it.
Every day could be your last day in the world.
So have good days and focus on doing stuff that matters to you in the moment.
Because if it doesn't matter in the moment, it's not going to matter in the grand scheme of things.
Wow.
If that's unanswerable, I'm looking for a solution for my next step in culinary greatness.
Great.
I can help there.
My apartment doesn't allow grass, glass, grass.
Ass, gas, or grass.
That's kind of where I was going.
Gas slash charcoal grills, nor do they have community options.
Okay.
What are y'all's options, opinions?
God, it's getting late, isn't it?
It's not.
What time is it?
Don't lie.
It's almost 10.
Oh, it is.
Okay.
What are y'all's opinions on flat top griddles or even electric grills?
Are worried that cooking meat over what's effectively a space heater is just a tad too woke to warrant an animal's death.
I love that question.
That's a great question.
I say hot is hot.
So, I mean, yeah, hot is hot.
Griddles are fine.
If you can't salt your meat before you, at least 30 minutes before you eat it.
I say just do not disrespect the animal's body.
Yeah, but disrespect your landlord.
Just get a grill.
Yeah, fuck him, dude.
Do it inside.
You know what I do?
I would open a window.
I would just crack a window.
I fire up a lighter.
Yeah.
I get a Zippo.
Open up a Zippo.
I light a SIR.
And I just hold it up to some meat for a while.
Yeah.
The same time.
You smoke it.
The Zippo lighter to heat up the city.
Didn't you see like Gugas?
Like, didn't he smoke a steak with a cigarette or something like that?
Who did?
Google Foods or something like that?
I don't know.
That sounds like a lot of people.
Do you remember that meal time?
I did.
Oh, yeah.
We've seen Harvey recently.
Oh, weird world.
He's interesting, right?
He's out there.
But yeah, use electric if you want.
Doesn't fucking matter.
That doesn't matter.
I agree.
Flat top griddles are great.
I feel like you cook with those all the time.
Live in an apartment.
Get a stainless steel pan, learn how to use it, and you're fine forever.
One thing I've figured out: this is a trick for stainless cast iron, mostly wash them with soap and water.
Have you seen this new movement of people doing the cast iron, but they're like making a mirror like?
Yeah, they're making like the cast iron mirrored.
Oh, polishing it up.
Oh, that's not good.
I would say always season your hand.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay, cool.
That's a cool idea.
What else?
I don't know.
Yeah, if you're dealing with oil, get chef fingers, just stick your fingers in the oil so that you don't feel nothing after a while.
I like that.
You know, I should know more about this.
Yeah.
I put a big wagoo in George Foreman and just honestly just let it go.
That was ravioli, dude.
He just closed the lid on it.
Yeah, and then just wait a while.
Yeah, yeah.
I should definitely know more, but I don't know.
I air-fry my steak.
I have to.
Does that work?
My wife does that as well.
Really?
I was just doing a joke.
It's really good.
Famously, I've never eaten steak.
I mean, you had flank steak today.
Oh, I guess.
Yeah, technically.
Yeah, we didn't have to.
Jared looks at me and he's sad and Jared's disgusted.
I'm a surprise.
That's all.
No, I don't eat meat.
You need to eat a real red meat steak.
I have Arfrid or whatever.
You get from Lyme disease.
Wait, no, it's that thing when we learn.
Mug Club Predictions 00:15:41
What?
No, is that what that is?
It's those people who are afraid to eat new foods.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Is that just called afraid?
Yeah, Ar-Afraid.
Yeah, is that what that's going to mean?
Arfrid?
I don't eat new foods usually.
I mean, I like weird food, but I...
Try a new thing called vegetables.
Oh, that's kind of funny.
You know what I really like?
Well, you're 19 that's in my mind right now that I'm going to announce.
Okonomiyaki.
I want that.
Now tell me what that is.
It's a cabbage.
Savory pancake.
Oh, it's like a savory pancake with cabbage in it.
It's like a lot of noodles, cupie mayonnaise, like a yaki sauce on top.
I did, and I fucking lit my kitchen on fire.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, dude.
Well, you got to do it outside.
Yeah.
To learn that.
Clearly.
But yeah, do whatever the fuck you want.
I wouldn't.
Fuck your landlord if you want.
Jake E, Shrugged Pride.
Great.
Fuck your landlord if they want, I should say.
Thank you for clearing.
Let's do this question here from Jakey.
Any music recs for songs/slash bands that have stuck with you lately?
PDUSA is my fucking god right now.
PD's great.
I like PD.
He's so good.
I'm a big fan of this guy called Zachy Forrest Funk.
It's just like, I played, I think I played it on the other show the other week.
Yeah.
It's like it's like cheesy synth, but like, damn, it goes hard.
That's a lot of fun.
I'm trying to think of my album of the year, and I don't know if I have kind of a album of the year, probably Viagar, Ahboys.
You do love those guys.
Yeah, that record knocked it out.
I saw them on Halloween.
I listen to U.S. One of the best shows I've seen in years.
Yeah, frankly.
I'm also a big fan of Rustin Kelly right now.
Rustin Kelly.
Yeah, it's like Indie Emo.
Huh.
Or like, sorry, Indy Country.
Indie Country.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He had Dirt Emo.
Oh, sure, sure.
I remember that.
God, it's impossible to pick.
I'm just a big.
Big howdy fan, of course.
That last junior varsity album is good.
That's like a pop thing.
The new Aesop rock record was really good.
That'd be great.
I fell off of him for a while, but I came back to it.
I've been really enjoying the new one.
Hmm.
God, it's so tough.
I saw the strokes.
That's just our record.
We could probably.
It's always a good time to listen to the strokes for me.
Well, I always get ashamed because we should be off Spotify now because of the fact that.
That was my goal is to get off of it.
They've got the whole weapons manufacturing money that they...
See, what else...
The new clips was a fantastic record.
I would not choose this band based on their name, but the psychedelic porn crumpets out of Australia.
That sounds terrible.
It awful name.
Yeah.
Really fun.
The Cool Kids love the Balcony's new record.
Yeah.
Yumun.
That new Skull Crusher album is pretty good too.
Check that out.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Lots of stuff.
I'm a big fan of Hop Mulligan, too.
Yeah, Dennis is popping.
Ethan Tash.
Love Ethan Tash.
I don't know Ethan Tash.
He's not super popular doesn't seem, but I like him a lot.
Is this Beatles?
I've never heard of them.
Yeah, I don't know.
The Beatles?
Yeah.
Is it spelled like Beatle like the bug?
Yeah.
Okay.
I thought it was the beatless because John Lennon was beating up more of his friends.
Oh, right.
Oh, okay.
He's playing him in the hospital.
Not a nice guy.
I mean, I've heard that.
Kind of a rough character.
Killed on my birthday, that guy.
Well, good.
That's great.
Yeah, I'm reincarnated.
Wow.
Now I'm nice.
It's Flipper Zero, John.
He was original.
Original John Lennon was a FlipperZero himself.
I heard it.
Going around the world, opening doors, scanning IDs.
You find out Mr. Robot is John.
Yeah, I faked his own death.
Wow, that's crazy.
Back to Dr. Sayer for the last questions.
What is everyone's favorite Steven Crowder moment?
This is a tough one.
This is tough.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was thinking about this earlier today.
This is the one that you passed.
I pass it because, like, yeah, I think about it.
And I was telling Dennis, like, for me, my intake of Steven Crowder is like in and out because I have to watch it.
I write it.
We record it.
I edit it.
And then I'm on to the next one.
So I don't know if I have a big favorite, but I have a big Gerald favorite.
You want to hear what that is?
Yeah.
Yeah.
My Gerald favorite is him talking to Afroman.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, totally.
I think that that might be the most entertaining and uncomfortable moment that we've seen.
Yeah.
Because Gerald, we know Gerald's, he's a hip-hop head.
He loves it.
He was on a football team with black people.
And then he tried to convert all of them.
Yeah, of course.
I think these guys are all gay.
They're all slapping asses, but they're not touching mine.
Yeah, it's just weird.
It's not like I stink or I'm bad at the sport.
But yeah, no, Gerald talking to Afro Man was really a lot of fun.
They were both completely just never connected at all.
No.
But it was fun to learn a lot about Afroman and to sit in the discomfort of Gerald Morgan.
Other than, I mean, Steven embarrasses himself in very similar ways, repetitive ways, every week.
It's always fairly one note.
Beyond that, maybe my favorite memories of the year are his kind of really embarrassing attempt at saying the N-word on Pierce Morgan.
That's where I came from.
Right?
Like, being upset that he's censored on uncensored.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that's a lot of fun.
He also said it like he's like a kid saying fuck for the first time.
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I thought about what I did say earlier.
First one through the door gets bloody.
It's actually the expression is first one through the wall gets bloody.
Oh, okay.
Because you got to break through it.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, that's what I was saying.
It's like, I think that that was like a really interesting moment because it was really like, this dude's just depraved and he's a dip shit.
So there's not really like he'll do whatever it takes, what he thinks it'll take.
But as we've seen with him, like, you know, time and time again, he tries something and then he falls off of it in the next episode.
Yeah.
Like nothing sticks for this guy.
Clean slate was good.
So it's just, it's just sort of like, I don't know, that was like a really surprising moment, but also simultaneously unsurprising because it's like, he's fucking depraved.
He's a and he's a dip shit.
Yeah, I don't know.
That one did stick out to me because it's kind of like, what won't you do?
And it's for him, it's nothing probably.
Yeah.
So for me, it's when he was defending they had a very Hispanic looking face on the deposition.
Oh, God, the depot was a lot of fun.
It was so good.
And I think that I loved it because it was, for one, Stephen with his character turned off, but also him confronting his dip shittery.
Yeah.
Right.
Remember firsthand, second-hand sourcing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The whole deposition was so great.
But yeah, when he was like, are there any Hispanic people on this call right now?
When Mark Bankston asked that question?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was so funny because it's like Steven being like, he tried to do his normal dumb bullshit with an attorney.
And they're like, you can't, I'm not your audience, man.
Yeah.
And I loved seeing him confronted with that.
That was really good.
A close second for me is the, oh no, what a fucking nightmare.
Yeah, which is what Dr. Sayre says.
Personally, I think it would be hard to top the Sam Cedar arc.
Yeah, very good.
Very good.
I agree.
So that's like a wider thing.
I'm trying to think of, since it's kind of like a New Year's episode, I'm like doing a full recap in my head of what happened with Steven this year.
Like he hasn't had like a big breakthrough moment other than the trans shooter stuff, right?
Like when he got the leak of the manifesto.
Trans Festo?
What?
No, he called it something.
The mug club exclusive.
We called it something like Manifesto.
I mean, yeah, the way he called it.
Yeah.
That was, I mean, that was like his biggest moment in the spotlight this year.
But also, there's the Charlie Kirk.
He also got the ATF leak as well, right?
Oh, yeah.
But both of those moments, like, no one wanted to touch him or talk to him, right?
Yeah, it's like they almost have to pick him up with tweezers and be like, yeah, he said this, and then we move on.
We'll wait and see if someone else can confirm it.
Yeah.
But it's just kind of funny because I was running through like he didn't have like a big moment, right?
Like, well, that's the thing is he's he's trying to make everything those big moments.
Yeah, he wants to be.
Big Varma last year was like his big breakthrough, right?
Like the first.
It's these investigations, right?
Yeah, the MCU.
Yeah.
Yeah, he throws himself out in front of it, but it's like he's trying to like, it's like he's like trying to slow down what is the flood behind him.
And he's like, no, no, no, you have to go through me.
You have to go through me.
And it's like, it's coming out from between your arms and under your legs, dude.
Like, you can't, you know.
Yeah.
This is like too big.
This is bigger than you are.
And just because you're like, you know, a firefighter in Nashville's deciding to like send you this information or whatever.
It's like.
Well, he's not a journalist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then he and he had to reconcile with that.
The mug club?
Like, you think, you think people are going to respect a hello? President Stephen Crowder Mug Club.
Well, I would, I mean, Gerald should, or I guess, wait, who should move in?
What's the taller guy?
Oh, Buen Vino.
Oh, Buen Vino.
Oh, yeah, it's all redhead.
What the fuck was that guy?
That hunk.
The hunk.
Jared, who's the hunk?
Oh, Ginger Snack.
Ginger Snack.
Sorry.
I could see him at the new Pentagon news press briefing, right?
Like him, Matt.
Ginger Laura Lewis.
Undercover Club Undercover.
What the hunker?
I mean, Rumble Undercover.
I mean, I don't know what we do anymore.
Fortified undercover.
It's a bizarre situation he's found himself in or tried to put himself in, right?
Being a legitimate.
Yeah, he wants to be the first, man.
He wants to be the first.
There's a really great, I think it was a Mr. Sketch show.
Mr. Show Sketch?
Mr. Show Sketch.
Mr. Sketch Show.
But it was basically they were always first to the scene of crimes because they were causing them.
They ambushed.
No, sorry.
I'm incorrect.
The Mr. Show sketch was they were like the second people on the scene was what they were famous for.
So like they'd interview the other news people last night.
I mean, that's kind of the same energy, huh?
Yeah, yeah.
He just wants to be first so bad.
The thing I was thinking about where they were making the news was in an episode of Lois and Clark starring Dean Kane, where the news, the news that was against the Daily Planet, they'd always get the beat because they would cause the fires and cause the problems.
Wow.
Jake Jylenhall and Nightcrawlers.
Nightcrawlers, of course, a stinger.
Stringer?
Stringer.
I got all my words out.
Sorry.
Took a while.
Well, they were in a different order, and that's okay.
Thank you.
We got one more from Dr. Sayer.
And I think that this is the perfect way to wrap up this little episode here.
What is everyone's prediction on the next big thing to happen to Louder with Crowder slash Steven Crowder?
Despite everything that's happened to Steven, I think there's still a couple big punches he's going to take before he hits rock bottom.
Predictions.
I think one big one is that he may have some spicy words for Trump at some point.
Yeah.
I think that that's the only thing you can do at this point, right?
He's kind of the only guy.
I mean, like, we mentioned earlier, Candace.
He called her a conta earlier.
Yeah.
And that, I mean.
And he prefaced like earlier last earlier, I guess what would be last year now, but like his, you know, and we'll be critical of Trump.
And of course he hasn't been, but it's sort of just like there is a point where he, Steven sometimes sticks to the thing, you know, like his loose code of ethics.
And I think that that might be, you know, enough for him to like, well, if I say this against Trump, like people will tune in.
I'm trying to think what's going on.
Like, I mean, like, Epstein is clearly a line.
It's not sexual assaults on women, sluts in particular.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, that's totally fine.
So I completely agree with you.
That was going to be my answer.
There has to be at some point a separation between Trump and Steven.
I think that's the only thing that's going to happen.
And I've suggested that several times that that is what is likely to happen after the midterms with the party in general.
I think that the I don't know.
I've been wrong a lot of times, though, with like my predictions of like when people are going to stop supporting Donald Trump.
I assumed that things would be a lot.
I thought Axis Hollywood was it, man.
You thought so?
Yep.
Yeah.
I mean, people love grabbing pussy.
I remember my mom sitting on my porch smoking, and I was like, this is it.
Was she a Trump person?
She's probably apolitical, right?
Yeah.
So here are my predictions.
A couple small ones, couple big ones.
Big one, I think he tries to get Erica Kirk on the show.
Okay, I think that tour is going to lead them together in some way.
It's going to be weird.
You think Erica Kirk is going to come up with my friend?
And he's going to say, he's going to ask, how did your husband get the idea for that show?
That's like the most important thing.
Do you have any diaries that detailed how he got the idea?
Like, please tell me.
It's going to be like the scene in the office when Michael Scott doesn't want to give up the golden ticket idea.
Yeah.
But I think something like that.
But also, I think that the Stephen Hillary saga is not over.
Oh, really?
Do you think there's going to be some problems maybe with raising children?
That, or when she starts finding new long-term love, I think he's going to get jealous.
Remember, he's got that Brazilian.
I don't know, actually.
It's been a long time since I've kind of followed.
We haven't seen much about his dating life in a long time.
I mean, he it's so fucking we haven't seen much, but so much when he's angry about stuff, we're always making predictions on his dating.
Well, I mean, no, he was doing shows that were explicitly about topics that she would be interested in, right?
Yeah.
He had for a long time, like, a focus on politics in South America.
Remember, it was so boring.
I had no idea what he was doing, but like, he was clearly when our Supreme Court was telling the Brazilian Supreme Court, what the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, who cares about this?
That's a crazy thing to focus on.
And he likes them.
He'll say, they're spicy or whatever.
And it's like, I just, I'll say more broadly speaking.
I jiu-jitsu guy.
I'll say that I look forward to more Steven dating drama.
Really?
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I want to go back first.
I do think that I've been seeing a lot of attempted separation from Donald Trump by Alex Jones, which has been really interesting.
But Alex Jones has been framing it as like, I can disagree with him personally, but politically, I still think he gets an A-plus.
And I think that Steven can still play that game as well.
Yeah, you're right.
I don't know.
I could definitely see the split, like we have already said a couple times, between Trump and Steven at some point.
Tim's Foxhole Videos 00:00:59
What else?
You're thinking there's going to be a.
We haven't wrapped up the Jared Monroe arc quite yet, right?
It's pretty much wrapped.
But Jared Hill.
Jared didn't start his show, though.
Oh, that's right.
Oh, in the foxhole, the Foxhole.
No, no.
No, that's Tim.
That's Tim.
And Tim is still doing that, I think.
Two videos of Bible quotes over Minecraft.
Over Minecraft, which is a lot of fun.
Which means he's not even watching it himself.
No.
Are we going to see some turnover?
I think we'll see.
Oh, of course.
Of course.
New nicknames.
We got fucking fire hose.
Yeah.
What else can we call people?
Gangrene.
Checking Security Jobs 00:03:03
I like he's on the transitions and someone's on sound.
Let's see.
Let's check jobs really quick, actually.
Yeah, let's do that.
Louder with Crowder.
I thought about how fun it would be to infiltrate, be a double agent.
There was a point maybe five, six years ago, where I was looking to intern at Infowars, but then I kind of got scared.
I was like, I don't need to do this.
Laborer.
That's Crowder Construction in Virginia.
Just in general.
That's crazy.
I can't believe that.
Do you want to be a laborer for Louder with Crowder?
You can carry some stuff, I guess.
Here's a glass door at Louder with Crowder.
Oh, no.
I think reviews are probably pretty good.
I bet they're so good.
That's why I was saying, oh, no.
Reviews.
That's exactly why you said that.
What do I got?
A VPN on?
No reviews.
No reviews?
That's almost worse, huh?
That means something bad's going on there.
They probably have that strict NDA, right?
Yep.
And officially, Kate Green got his hand cut off in the editing bay.
Don't talk about this online.
Do we not have new jobs for the first time?
Whoa.
Oh, my God.
Let's go to Indeed really quick.
They don't have it just at the bottom of the website.
I can't see it.
Usually it would pop up.
More, maybe?
I'll go to more jobs.
There we go.
Cool website.
IT infrastructure and security manager.
Great.
So the responsible.
Guys are trying to calculate where the planes are.
Can you stop them from doing that?
Can you freaking jam their flippers eros?
I guess infrastructure security manager is responsible for building and maintaining a technology infrastructure that provides adequate support for the company's needs and necessary and provides necessary resilience.
Yeah.
Riz.
Resilience.
Yeah.
And security to ensure ongoing operations.
Rolls general responsible for secure.
I feel like I'm Aiden Ross right now talking about fascists.
What are we doing here?
Budget and vendor management is part of this for some reason.
Yeah, that makes sense for IT.
Yeah, we got to get a potato guy in here.
7 to 3 on site.
7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
After hours weekends in hiatus on site for work from home as needed to perform maintenance upgrades, off-hour camera monitoring, on-call and telephone support.
Security.
Wow, that seems like they're asking a lot, but that's the only job right now.
Wow.
So if anyone wants to get that.
Yeah, sign up.
Honestly, it sounds like a pretty good idea.
Send your resume to IamYourExpert at louderwithgrow.com.
How about send your resume to louderthancrowder at gmail.com?
Show Keeps Going 00:06:23
Honestly, we'll take a peek at it.
Yeah, I'll take a peek at it.
I'll see what you got.
See if you need a working back some rubber.
I'll prefer a critique.
I'd love to see your cover letter.
That's all I care about, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Undercover letter.
Undercover letter.
Have we talked about the show versus Steven?
I mean, the show's going to keep going.
Their relationship with Rumble, probably going to follow out.
Curious about what happens when Bongino comes back.
Yeah, Bongino's coming back.
Russell has been accused of two more rapes, which isn't seem like that's going well for him.
I don't know.
Every time I see him, I get the sense that he's going to do some sort of crazy murder-suicide or something.
He's terrible.
I don't think he's going to go back to the UK, right?
Just a prediction.
He can.
We'll see.
We'll see.
You don't want me to speculate on the possible.
I don't want to speculate on possible murder-suicides.
Okay, that's probably fair and responsible.
There we go.
Darren's probably going to live a couple more years.
I think Darren's going to be this year.
He's still married.
He's going to meet God.
He's going to remarry.
That's pretty good.
Well, he's married, though.
Remarried?
You think he's going to be?
He's married to Stephen's mom?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, they don't do divorce.
He's the no-fault divorce guy.
Why?
No, we've never talked about this.
Oh, that's interesting.
I don't know anything about his mom.
She's French-Canadian.
Yeah.
That's all I need to know.
Well, you never heard her talk.
No, I never have.
Well, I'll do an episode.
I still predict it, though.
She did a whole episode with him.
I still think that they're going to need a divorce.
He's going to remarry.
Okay.
Yep.
Stephen's girlfriend from Brazil.
What about Darren's going to remarry Hillary?
Oh, weird.
What about Gerald?
Gerald's still okay?
Yeah, he's going to.
Well, his wife's going to leave out here.
Everyone's getting dumped.
His wife's going to try to leave.
Oh, no.
And he will not have that.
He's going to start something related to conversion therapy, and he's going to get conversion therapy to himself.
He gets reverse.
Yeah, he gets reverse conversion therapy.
Well, listen, we all know.
It's called like big butt, you get the butt.
Yeah.
You don't wear those rhinestones on your booty for no reason.
God.
He's a Dallas hot wife where the true religions.
He's got his fry boots and his true religions on.
He's got a blouse that's tucked in.
A blouse, of course.
Yeah.
With jeans like that, any button up top turns into a blouse.
I think we're going to get college boys coming back.
Campus boys?
Campus boys.
They're going to make new campus boys videos out of you.
Yeah, I think that would be kind of cool.
It's sponsored by Dr. Pepper.
Do you think it's kind of like Campus Boys was the first change my mind, right?
A little bit.
He's going up and out.
Change my mind.
I'm not too old for you.
Am I too weird right now?
Am I being odd?
What would you do for a Dr. Pepper?
Change my mind.
Jesus.
What?
What do you mean, change your mind now?
What would you do for a Dr. Pepper challenge?
So the last thing they mentioned here was before he hits rock bottom.
I'm just kind of curious, what do you think rock bottom looks like for Steven?
Finishing this album.
What?
A music album.
Oh, my God.
That'd be sick, honestly.
I'm going to give you the best.
Remember, you did Dr. Do an album.
He's going to get Josh to produce it for him.
Stand-up tour?
I mean, we'll go if you know.
No, he's doing college tour this year.
Yeah, he don't think he's going to.
He's not funny.
No.
He's not.
Clearly, we've done that.
All right.
I mean, yeah.
I think our show.
Yeah, I think our show is going to keep going.
Yeah.
I think our show will keep going.
Our show will keep going for sure.
Yeah.
And I mean, because his show will.
And we are technically, we have to keep going until he stops.
Hell yeah, dude.
We are riding this wave.
Well, listen.
We still have double salutes, too.
Oh, man.
That's much funnier sometimes.
Just be like out of pure.
These guys are trying stuff.
That's true.
Do these folks know we do double salutes?
They all do, yeah.
Excuse me?
Do these folks know we do double salutes?
Yeah, it gets on the main feed all the time.
Do they know it's us, though?
Our voices are like slightly different.
Oh, no, actually.
That's something I've never considered.
Did you ever tell them?
They know it's the same house for both of us.
I hope so.
Let me think.
How would I start it?
Double suits, the proper names.
I don't think I ever say my name, do I?
You say Welcome to Double Suits, the most patriotic live stream on the internet.
On the World Wide Web.
Oh, on the World Wide Web.
Yeah, of course.
Maybe I say I'm on Byron after that.
Either way.
Yeah, thank you so much for sending your questions and letting us.
It's been really nice.
You guys are awesome.
It makes me feel like I'm not talking to a void.
Excuse me?
Sometimes when I come in, I wear blackout glasses.
Yeah.
I just talk.
Oh.
You wear the glasses that have the eyeballs on the outside.
Crazy, man.
So Byron can make eye contact.
Yeah, you think I'm talking, but I'm just talking to the void, dude.
Well, during the Halloween episode, Dennis, you stood up twice to not fall asleep.
I was tired.
You were drinking water.
I was tired.
Yep, but I'm feeling good now.
How come I don't do that?
Well, I don't know.
I locked in.
And sometimes I got to stand up to pee, like right now.
Yeah, okay.
Well, then we'll wrap it up.
Thank you guys so much.
I hope that the new year is going great.
I hope I don't get quieter after this whole silent thing.
I hope I don't come back and whisper all the time, right?
That'd be kind of a pain in the butt.
You got more brave more bravery than I have.
Wow.
I mean, listen, I would love to shut up for 10 days.
I can't wait.
It's going to be wonderful.
It's a fucking mind.
You think so?
Yes.
Oh, well.
I love you.
Maybe I will.
Love you too.
You have to pee so bad.
Go pee.
This is wonderful.
I'm Byron.
I'm Dennis.
I have to care.
Take care.
