Tarance, Tom and Aaron of The Trillbillies join us to catch up on Pete Hegseth’s inebriated grip on the SecDef position, Joe Biden dropping ice cream at Harvard, the Israelification of America, JD Vance’s faux-hillbilly bumbling as Veep, and Tom Friedman’s dream of America as a car without a driver.

I love that I was notified for this in the last minute of the previous episode. Also, heard these guys on here before, absolutely love them.

JD Nonce

Loooong episode! Baby Billy Bible BUMPER episode!

I put down my dick for this! In my culture, that's a huge sign of respect. 🫡

James Masters

The first time I heard "war fighter" was a quote from Erik Prince, in the book Blackwater. It's definitely PMC shit.

David Browm

Know a Raytheon employee. "Warfighter" is absolutely what they all say

j

Excited for this one. Thank you!

Rory

Thank God I needed to get high and listen to something tn

I’ve listened to “the hills have cries” chapo review of dogshit Netflix Vance hillbill elegance featuring Tom and Tarence of the trillbill workers party a dozen times, one of my all time favorite episodes. Also Tarence wrote the most comprehensive and well researched history of the opiate epidemic Ive ever read for the baffler many years ago that went into the way prisons were built expressly for opiate abusers and police tactics were changed to fill jails with poor pill fiends, basically shining a light on how wrong and simplistic a narrative “pharma were the main bad guys” was that diverted attention from the entire operation being state sponsored addiction followed by jail or drug court ($$$). Misery profiteering at every level private and public, thanks Tarence. Always stoked to hear these guys on the show.

Anders Olsson

Check out the Trillbillies Patreon. It's good.

Ant koz

Also, “Warfighter” is doubtlessly from conservative insecurity rooted in homosexual desires… shocking, I know…

EnKaff

"No Pasaran" really is a great title for a book

Cody S

Petes own mom calling him out like that was insane. Genuine sui fuel for normal people but Pete just tanks that shit.

EnKaff

Much obliged!

Andrew Cross

McGregor didn’t knock the old guy out, the dude barely registered that a punch was thrown at him. also McGregor being an extremely petty bitch bought the bar afterwards and had the guy banned for life

Mario Lopez

All the cast members got matching tattoos on their upper thigh. Like what’s up with that???

inspectah mossadegh

I saw the sideburn thing, but I couldn't tell if I was seeing it right

Harrison

That pic of JD really is so crazy lol.

Ermete

On the soldier term, the word itself originally put the accent on the money, the wage, the fact that they are paid to conduct war, rather than the "prestige" of being at war that is tied to the social class (the warrior cast, the knight etc)

Quadabyte

We are a nation who no longer has to have high high hopes for a living

Douglas Gearhart

I have been a defense contractor since 2011, and Warfighter is the term used to remind those of us who are NOT out there pulling triggers who we support. The word Soldier encompasses many types of jobs in the army. There are Soldier cooks, Soldier lawyers, Soldier intelligence analysts, etc...but a Warfighter is meant as a separate tier of the armed forces. It's a dumb guy way to talk.

Joseph Mabrey

I am a Trillbilly, hear me roar!!!

Last Years Man

Man, ya'll dunking hard on Hegseth. I feel almost sorry for him. (Almost)

Beer (Cheese) Baron

that line Hegseth has about beer “not working anymore” is literally a line from Moral Orel. What’s the over/under on him having drunkenly shot one of his kids?

"Warfighter" is Pentagon bureaucratese encompassing all individual members of the armed services. So like if you're a Coast Guard reservist on your once a year field exercise you'll get a jolt of morale while you're choking down your MRE because it says on the bag that it's "warfighter approved"

Hegseth sounds like my youngest brother's dad. It's a shame he's not in the same condition.

Mungo Franczak

Nah so Medal of Honor like rebranded itself to become a modern military game, and they released a first game just called “Medal of Honor” which I remember liking as a kid (who grew up post 9/11 + War on Terror), and then they released a sequel called “Medal of Honor: Warfighter” which had a multiplayer where you had different “Operators” with different abilities and stuff. It was kind of the first FPS game I remember having like specific “heroes” with unique abilities. Both games were, in hindsight, pretty awful but Warfighter’s multiplayer was fun to play wigh friends

Zach Sampson

Gotta correct you on a fact, the 70 year old that McRapist sucker punched took it like a champ

Jon Lyons

Felix is right, Friedman is neoliberalism's Karl Pilkington

Warbs

Love The Tardy Boys, more please! I'm really glad Aaron has been on these lately as well.

Elder millennial

I don’t think the previous generations were better at being alcoholics, I think we as a society we’re just used to everyone in power being an alcoholic.

Thomas J Lemanski

Idk, a friend dragged me to WARFARE and I agree with the Trilly, it might be required viewing. Movie Mindset should turn their all seeing eye to it

Elder millennial

I remember when those games were released, and all the rhetoric around the war was about supporting our troops. I was like how is turning their experiences into a video game respecting them?

Sam Bondurant

Damn a buck 40? Longest chapo ep I can recall in years

Not sure where this view of mercenaries as elites came from. Which engagements is Will referring to? Mercenaries from what I know are primarily glorified security guards, contract killers, or cannon fodder (especially if they’re Russian and Colombian).

Also everyone was on benzos or amphetamines you could buy at CVS, and huffing lead fumes, until ~50 years ago.

vance is kickstarting a new schism to create an american branch of catholicism that's fundamentally indistinguishable from evangelical christianity but there's no carpet or wood paneling in the churches cause that shit is trashy and the pope is more of a chuck e cheese style mascot you can ignore when you want to

take it or leave it

Listen, I enjoy the sound of laughter as much as the next guy but

Elder millennial

Mommy’s little helper also helps you get over your husband being a drunk!

thicchatlogan

I love how the trillbillies guys are very articulate until they start laughing and then they turn into the hillbilly fish at the gas station from the spongebob movie

Travis

Soldiering is also a job that requires you to do lame shit like digging latrines; warfighter implies you don’t have to do any of that boring military stuff and you get to act you’re in a CoD game.

Jacob

Gotta say Aaron, Iraq and Ukraine are only like 700 miles apart, not hundreds of thousands

peter_mcc

“‘come and see’ child with a bussin haircut” feels so perfectly constructed it’s like a magic spell

And Iraq and Russia are only 325 miles apart

All I remember about that modern MoH game is that one of the troops says that heartbeat sensors are for pussies as a dig at Modern Warfare 2 and it was very embarrassing

Jacob

It’s hundreds of thousands of miles wide

Chris

"Huge," sure buddy

C. Andrew

In an American context they are traditionally used to guard HVTs and typically make much more money than your average lance corporal. BUT yeah they aren't exactly loaded, maybe the captains (Italian Wars, study the Italian Wars), but certainly not all of them.

Oliver Clozov

tarence and will going bar for bar makes my heart flutter

Instantdumbass

Some Zionist are even sending themselves human skulls in the mail.

gibbypatrol

Had no idea hegseths voice sounded like that. Wow

Stephen David Miller

If you pretend the shitty credits montage doesn’t exist, Warfare is like the polar opposite of Lone Survivor for what it’s worth. Everything is terrible and no one is heroic and it’s all their fault.

FDRomanowski

pretty sure the real reason the term "warfighter" is a thing is because the marines are big babies who have a meltdown whenever someone calls them "soldiers." so when referring to the military as a whole, they say "warfighters"

ploob

I thought it was a better movie than Civil War, which was my question going in. Worth a ticket but still schlock.

thicchatlogan

99% of people in the military just do an easier version of a regular civilian job except you can technically go to jail if you're bad enough at it

THEKILLERWHALE

I hate that shit. As if the military needed more hierarchy.

Tea for the Tillerman

I like to imagine Hegseth’s morning montage is like Joe Gideon’s from all that jazz “It’s showtime, warfighters!”

Feedbag

More like he’s a suck.on.this. Waymo type of democrat amirite?

Chris

He's too drunk to notice

Davis G

Are they going to try to deport Mia Khalifa?

When I saw the episode title I was certain this was going to be a line Tom dropped about Hegseth- the alcoholic version of FAFO.

demonsweat

There'd be no war fighters if it wasn't for us wars (that one's for the boys, love the 'billies)

Nathan

It’s the dang phones making us worse at being alcoholics. When Nixon would get drunk, everyone could just ignore him and he couldn’t do much. Hesgeth can get up to a bunch of mischief on his benders.

nick

In my mind, “warfighter” is to “soldier” what “educator” is to “teacher.”

Davis G

Come and See? More like Cum and Pee…

Jingle Jangler

Its so fucking cringe lmao. It's virtue signaling

Bryan Williams

In Twin Peaks The Return, David Lynch and Mark Frost imply that a unique nexus of evil existed with America testing and using nuclear weapons as it emerged as THE dominant imperialist force in the world. Within the show, this moment of evil allowed a primordial evil being, Judy, to unleash a personification of evil, Bob. If Bob is the personification of American imperialist evil, the nation version of that evil is Israel. And it's the span of the years since the nuclear tests until today that also span the years of our dying boomer leaders Trump and Biden. I can't help but think that their determination to validate and further the crimes of Israel and the fictions of antisemitism to such an extreme degree is a manifestation of how they've given their lives to this evil project, and with everything out of control and no hope for redemption, the only thing they can think to do is glorify and revel in this evil, much like the hosts Bob inhabits end up as empty vessels for evil -- "weak and full of holes" as Bob says as he's killing one of his hosts.

Israel's ai bullshit exists purely to deflect liability in the event people dropping bombs are tried. To extract any human culpability. They are just blowing up civilians, there is nothing more algorithmic than a random number generator. Israel also is quite literally just accepting nazi race doctrine whole cloth, but inverting it. Jewish people are a block of people, totally incompatible with anyone else and who are somehow incapable of having interbred with anyone else(but nevertheless must be universally accepted). Like the concept of an Arab exists only in dichotomy to a Jew. Anyone that is not a Jew could be an Arab. What is a Jew? Everyone who is not an Arab. Iraqi Jewish Arabs? Jews. Iraqi Arabs? Arabs. Norman Finklestein? Arab. Chuch Schumer for some reason? Arab. Race is bullshit, and no one is more in love with it than Israel and its glazers.

Clay Collins

Having had experience with both in my city, it brings me no pleasure to report that Waymos may in fact be better drivers than the average human driver

🤷🏼‍♀️

Referencing Act of Valor was genuinely mind blowing. I've never heard anyone talk about that movie before and imagined myself to be like one of the only persons to have seen it. I watched it on a date at a cheap theatre where they played last years' movies. I remember it being so over the top, literally saying "frag out" and "changing mags" in the same tone as in COD Black Ops, that I thought it had to be a joke!

1:40 ep with the Trillbillies? Our cup overfloweth. Mashallah

K H

Mmmmm thats good sloppppp. I'm glad Trillbillies didn't have reading that garbage go to waste. Also a good movie scene idea; having the Waymo taxi that folksily affirms anything the passenger believes to both extremes, possibly at the same time. Then a later scene where they use a cheap knockoff version of Waymo that says it "does its own research" listens to iRogan, and becomes violently belligerent when confronted with the fact autonomous cars are real, before throwing the passengers out. Oh and the fucked up Waymo has completely contradictory politics EXCEPT it always supports billionaires, even if it insults them.

Chris' "Smooth Criminal" drop at 1:06:11 is a thing of beauty

Jonathan Nathan

“Trump is for he/him” is a kernel of a pretty good line though. As a comeback to the they/them ad, “Trump is for he/him, Kamala is for we/us” would have been pretty good, to whatever degree messaging actually matters.

J

Does Thomas Freidman own stock in weymo?

Breakaway

Bad News Hughes had better make an appearance on the next episode

etienne

reminds me of when ppl were dunking on Eminem for not being real trailer trash because his parents had like an appartment. took him to Disney once

Doug Cartel

Heres my take: "warfighter" is the US attempt to feel as zealous about their work as jihadis. God knows how many jesusfreak pastors spent the 2000s whining that their congregation didnt have that kind of passion.

Doug Cartel

God damn, I love this Freudian drive the presidents have to equate Ukraine and Iraq, it's perfect.

MCL

Wait global day of genocide sounds suspiciously like cracker day - which is happening this week watch out

I like to imagine you have this written on some sort of app on an iPhone you carry in a locked briefcase. You bring it to a DNC meeting and are stopped at the door. "Oh...she'll wanna see this."(you're schumering confidently) You swivel the briefcase around and it's like that scene in Pulp Fiction where they look in the briefcase.

K H

Well they can't get drunk or do whippitz

K H

You need at least one guy referencing a book they read and one other guy to pretend they also read it.

K H

It's really stupid when you consider Warbringer goes so much harder. Even the right is soy and pussified so they can't admit they are just starting shit unprovoked.

Doug Cartel

well, I think 'retard' is rude but I get what you mean. It's a weird scene.

Doug Cartel

I was teleported back to 2003 for a good 15 seconds

No it would be more like sin bearer or child molester. Sorry. I couldn't help it. Mea culpaba🤌🤌

Hell yea dude.

Have you played DCS even once? You would understand.

Everyone thought he was.

Doug Cartel

OK I'll stop posting after this But I figured it out: Matt and Felix are different aspects of my own soul. Like, I always felt Matt was the most similar to me but I connect with Felix on a really guttural level and my proof is the comment about the Walleye.

There is a Behind The Bastards episode on John Wayne and it's insane. Both in his behavior and how at least he thought it was somehow macho.

JD being a liar chameleon is what makes my eyes roll when people say he’s a based tradcath because adult converts are crazy. He saw a lot of powerful connections and a big bag of money in Opus Dei and picked up a rosary like every other mask he’s put on.

Are we sure this aaron guy is a real Podcaster? He just interrupts all the time and really says nothing.

Jacob

No I took the test and tested one point off of the spectrum. I get to be like a franchise autism instead of corporate autism

Joseph Mabrey

When Aaron isn't on Trillbillys it's so much better let T and T cook

Jonathan Nathan

I'm not saying it's good in any real sense, or meaningful or of political va lue, but it's good specifically within the confines of soulless lib political messaging. It would go roughly as viral as the Trump ad did. It would be significantly more useful to them than whatever slogans and messaging they actually went with.

Agent Grange

Hegseth was such a stupid motherfucker he unironically tried advocating for changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War because he thought it sounded more masculine and cool. I don't think I need to tell you how doing so would completely undermine the carefully curated image of American military intervention thats been integral to maintain global hegemony. Because Squinting' Pete thought it made us sound too woke and gay if the military was seen as "defensive" instead of being BADASS kriegsvolk waging global war as a lifestyle, I guess. Desperately wish they actually let him do it.

MLVF

These guys are having the time of their lives talking to Felix

MKatieUltra

Love those Kneecap lads ♥️☘️🇮🇪 their movie is very much worth checking out on Netflix

Oliver Elliott

The revelation for me was when I realized that a certain kind of liberal -also- wants the US to be Israel. They like the racist, nationalist project covered over by an entirely unearned veneer of liberalism. “Hey, we aren’t the bad guys! There are gays in Tel Aviv/NYC and Haaretz/NYT are free to say stern things about the latest terrible things that I am certainly not going to do anything to stop.”

not_today

I did 20 in the guard and deployed a couple times, both in combat arms and support roles. Warfighter wasn’t really a thing in the 2000s that I remember, but when it did show up it definitely was a soft way to refer to the people “kicking in doors” or whatever. I don’t remember it being that much of a pejorative, though.

king_von_diesel

Somehow they came up with something stupider than atari democrat. These people suck so much

Mattc83

Hegseth does metabolize alchohol well, to be completely fair.

Mark Schneider

A self-hating gay Incel Nerd who only gets laid 'coz he's worth billion$. Who could've imagined money can't buy "cool."

We were all 15 once. (I grew up during Vietnam so never went that way; but have been into equally cringe stuff.)

Mark Schneider

You're talking about Hunter, right? He can outdo li'l Petey in terms of drinking and drugging any day of the week I'm sure. And it is hilarious that dumbass Joe didn't deliberately name his bad son after Hunter S. Thompson.

Mark Schneider

I give Will a lot of credit for watching JD Vance's "evolution" over an 8 to 10 year period. A total grifter, it's true he shat on the Appalachians back in the day (for being too much like black people in his insecure mind), his being their "Counsel" now is ludicrous. He is a Thiel sock-puppet, will never be anything more even if he's President #48.

Mark Schneider

"America is already great!!" We have the world's most lethal military just like Kamala promised, let's be grateful.

Mark Schneider

Glad Tom Friedman has signed on with the Triumph of the Machines. Does he know many of the AI robots won't be Zionist, though?

Man2quilla

I mainly just mean with how much he talks about DCS I think "was" is a bit inaccurate lol

Axel H.

Lot of laughs in this episode, but “Usher, what fork do I use?” is one that had me laughing for a while afterwards. All-time Felix riff.

Michael Young

No one puts together how much the Epstein(Mossad) file has altered US politics. They have a dark file on practically every boomer politician and moneyed elite in the US. When Chuck Schumer has a video hanging over his head of him bottoming a bunch of dwarves he’s going to always cave and the same as everyone else. DT tasked Kash with using FBI NY office if Co intel with redacting all the files. It skews ALL US politics.

No Relation to Henry

I think the white meat bits can be a bit dry, but that’s what gravy is for, and the darker bits are great on their own.

Yup. Doomerism vs. Cheerleading, I’d love to see that debate.

Terrance pointing out the imagery of no one at the wheel is just soooo perfect for Tommy Frieds politics

Mac daddy

Resident pronunciation czar here, gotta bonk felix (and will in a recent episode too) for constantly saying "socioPATH-ee" "psychoPATH-ee" that shit is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It's "soci-OP-athy" and "psych-OP-athy" godamn you!!!

geurin kimmel

Will hits the nail on the head with regard to our Fascist moment in history. I forget where the concept comes from but I remember a bit of theory that said under fascism society is comprised of the in group that law protects but does not bind and the out group the law binds but does not protect. You can absolutely see that with regards to Jewish students needing to feel safe at all times while anyone with an off white skin tone is subject to deportation for even mild criticism.
