Chapter 1: Who is Trae Crowder and what is his background?
My whole life growing up, poor, rural Tennessee, whenever I heard others talk about white people, in my head that was always like Connecticut, Yacht Club, like, is that dill? Fucking white people, right? Like, white people. And I didn't know what I was, but I knew I wasn't the same thing as them. And it was very confusing to me as a young man. Now that I'm an adult, it couldn't be more clear.
I'm not white, I'm white trash. And it is different. It is different. There's a whole list of differences. Like white people got a trust fund. White trash people got trust issues. White people got a sister who's secretly a lesbian. White trash people got a sister who's secretly their mama. White people play golf with their boss on the weekends.
White trash people play scratch-offs with their rent money on payday. It's different.
On this episode of the Commercial Break.
A lot of times the people in places like that who are on the other side or on the left or whatever, they just they like never speak up and I don't blame them. It's like you don't want to be the one that ruins Thanksgiving dinner or whatever or just gets yelled, gets ganged up on.
Yeah.
So I get it. But I never had that problem when I was growing up. And what I've always chalked that up to is the other thing that was going on with me as a kid was that like. I was the smart kid in my school, which I realize now looking back is like being the straightest guy to share a concert. It's not really that impressive, but I didn't know that. I had no frame of reference.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.

Chapter 8: How do Bryan and Krissy introduce Trae Crowder and set the tone for the episode?
There's a lot of tribalism that goes on in this country, whether that be real sports teams, religion, politics. There's so much tribalism. We all have to identify with some group of people so that we have something and identify an enemy that we have to fight, real or imagined. Did the did the after that election, did the crowd start to change? Do you feel the energy of the crowd start to change?
I mean, I don't know. I really do think like I know I just said a minute ago, like right before I went viral and I was doing that bit on stage in 2015 and it was fine. That is all true. But it still does feel to me like it. A happened pretty quickly and be like, you know, coincided with the rise of Donald Trump and MAGA specifically.
And I feel like the reason for that is all the people who are not on board with it were so just so powerfully like you guys are joking, right? Like that's you cannot be serious here.
And then the people who were on board with it were already so sensitive to feeling condescended to, or however you want to put it, by the same people, that that really struck a nerve with them, the general reaction to it. And also they liked it in a way that we were so put off by the whole thing. And it just like...
It was kind of woven into the whole MAGA experience from the very beginning, I feel like. And then so it, you know, as that got to be more and more of a thing leading up to the election and certainly after they won, it was like we were kind of in it at that point because I had been doing that bit in front of live shows and never had a single problem with it ever before.
But now that I have an internet presence, I mean, that whole time, you know, in 2016 and everything, like, I mean, I'm getting death threats and crazy stuff all the time, you know. So, yeah, I felt like it happened pretty early on in the process and it has only gotten worse over the intervening years, I feel like.
Yeah, it's gotten super intense. And we do a particularly bland form of humor here. We don't talk a lot of politics generally. I think if you listen to the show, you are. What's that? It's a good call.
Well, it was 2020.
It was 2020, right? And so, you know, things had, we were leading up into change and you could feel the tone and texture of the country was different than it was in 2016. It was clear that a lot of people wanted to move in a different direction. And it was the pandemic. And so we just made a decision. There's so much of that is on television in people's ears. So many people are talking about it.
