Our guest is Denver stand-up comic, Trey Marchant.  He is hotly contesting for best-looking guest of 2025.  Follow him on Instagram @TreyMarchantComedy & go to his monthly show! 

Trey read the calendar invite & came bearing gifts for Top Shelf.  He has bestowed upon us an all time gift, folks.  We might have to mess around and change it to Tippy-Top Shelf Studios after receiving this gem.  Perhaps the garage sale find of this millennium  —  a vintage Chairman Mao coaster set  —  featuring the ever-elusive & hyper-rare ‘Laughing Sunset Mao’  (oooooooooo)

Government scepticism?  We got into it much earlier than Trey Marchant anticipated.  

Ya know.. light conversation topics!  

When did democracy die?  When did our leadership & elections (seem to) become witholden to the intelligence state, does crafting public policy mean making it for the bottom quartile of bad decision makers, and how do we all operate within a much larger system of globally recycled debt???  Like we said.  Light conversation topics.   

Trey shares how some recent chaos prevented him from doing what he really wants to do: play Oblivion.  I won’t spoil it for you, but trusting the AI overview while cleaning his basement bathroom led to him accidentally creating mustard gas.  The real loss here is the lost hours that could’ve been spent grinding Oblivion.  Pour one out. 

P.S. Who the hell does all of humanity owe this debt to?
