Big J. Okerson
Fill her up.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
You're listening to the Cast Digital Network.
Nate Bargatze
Skagfest, how are we feeling?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
No, no, no, no. I said Skagfest, how are we feeling.
Jeff Ross
It' with your hosts, the story Warriors.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Big J. Okerson and Louis J. Gomez.
Jeff Ross
What's up, everybody? It's Gangfest. Welcome to Story Wars. We are your story Warriors, Big J Okerson and Louis J. Gomez, everybody.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Are you guys ready for war? Shout out to all of the people watching@mint comedy.com and shout out to the many more that have stolen this stream and posted it to our Reddit.
Jeff Ross
Is that happening?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Oh, yeah, it's happening. Oh, yeah. There's a whole discord specifically about stealing Skank Fest Mint Comedy streams. I'm pretty sure they're doxing the CEO of Mint Comedy as we speak. You do not want to go after the the Legion of Skanks subreddit. They will fucking win. Trust me.
Jeff Ross
I didn't know we knew so many computer nerds. God damn. We have an amazing lineup on the show today. But first, a very rare treat. Louis, am I right?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Jeff Ross
Well, tell them it.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Oh, well, I thought you were going to say it.
Jeff Ross
Well, I thought we were doing like a two man thing.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
All right, guys. All right.
Jeff Ross
Have we got some fun for you guys.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
So today we have a very special guest narrator. Since we're at Skank Fest, we have so many amazing people here, we wanted to include him. We fucking love this guy. He's been on the show many a times. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the one and only Dr. Drew.
Duncan Trussell
So happy to be here with the skanks.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Come on.
Duncan Trussell
And nothing skankier than a religion topic.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yes, that is the topic. The topic today is religion.
Jeff Ross
Today's stories are religion. And we have an amazing panel of comics up here to play the game with us. Everybody. Our first. You know him from the Midnight gospel. Everyone put your hands together for the legend, Mr. Duncan Trussell.
Big J. Okerson
Thank you. Thank you.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
And our second competitor today, trying to take our book away from us. You know him as the roast master general himself. Put your hands together for Jeff Ross.
Jeff Ross
We gotta raise the ante every day. Our third and final contestant in today's story. Wars, everybody. He happened to pop into town so he could hang out with us. Make some noise right now for Nate Bargazzi, everybody.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Nate, have you ever seen so many people?
Jeff Ross
This must be pretty crazy for you.
Unknown
I was thinking, like, was skank. I was talking to Julian on the way down. I was like, a skank fest. If y'all were like, hey, can we do it at this strip? And Vegas was like, what about the old part? You go, all right, we'll go down there. Discrete.
Jeff Ross
The time forgot.
Unknown
Yeah, you're like the wind. Can we go to the wind? They go, look, we got a pretty cool old part now.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
We wouldn't. We wouldn't fit in in the wind. We wouldn't fit in anywhere else. Downtown is the fucking sketchiest part of Vegas. This is where it's at, baby boy. We get crazy, dude. Some of these people might just live here and become street performers.
Jeff Ross
Very, very possible. Real quick explanation of the game, everybody. All five people on this panel, with the exception of Dr. Drew, of course, have submitted stories on today's topic, which is religion. Dr. Drew is going to read the stories off one at a time. If it's your story, you're the only person who knows that it is your job to fool everybody to think it's not yours. And if it's not your story, it's your job to try to guess whose story it is. When you have your final answer, you write it down on the whiteboard. Once you write it down on the board, that is your final answer. And it gets pretty exciting because we do eight stories. And after four, the game flips to double points.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I love it.
Jeff Ross
People love double points.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
We love double points here on the show, folks.
Jeff Ross
And today we have our course. Playing for the grand Prize will be Dr. Drew Pinsky's book Cracked.
Duncan Trussell
It's a good book.
Jeff Ross
Life on the edge in a rehab clinic, but it says in very light gray with Todd Gold. But him, he's not getting the credit.
Duncan Trussell
Oh, he's good, too. He's a good guy. But that's my favorite book I ever wrote, so there you go.
Nate Bargatze
Did I see it?
Jeff Ross
Absolutely. Oh, don't shit on it.
Duncan Trussell
It's not going to go. He will on it.
Jeff Ross
Don't worry.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
You know, we are. We're not giving up our book to these. Our book to these losers. Are you out of your mind? They wish.
Nate Bargatze
And then I licked Adam Carolla's asshole for 40.
Jeff Ross
Oh, my.
Nate Bargatze
Really? Page 47. All right.
Jeff Ross
Dr. Drew, a collection of erotic fan fiction.
Nate Bargatze
What's it about? For real, Doc?
Duncan Trussell
It's a fictionalized story about things I experience treating patients. So I sort of distort it a little bit. So you can't really.
Nate Bargatze
Dr. Drew helped me with my alopecia early on.
Duncan Trussell
I did.
Nate Bargatze
I thought I was transforming into Bruce Willis at first, and he's like, no, you have alopecia. And I was like, no, I'm fine. And then my eyebrows fell out, and I was like, oh, I think he's.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Well, how exactly did he help you? Because, Jeff, I'm looking at you.
Nate Bargatze
He made me realize that whatever it was, was gonna be and that I would be okay. And he sent me to an amazing research doctor to make sure that I was healthy. And Dr. Drew's a legend in my life.
Duncan Trussell
I sent him to Yale. They just done some research on this. And like you said, you can see.
Nate Bargatze
You see him now I have three. Now I have half an eyebrow on one side and a complete eyebrow on. Thanks to the doctor that Dr. Drew sent me to.
Jeff Ross
I would call you GI Jane, too, but I don't want to get slapped in the fucking face. Do not fuck with alopecia people about that.
Nate Bargatze
It was between me and Jada for that part.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
And you're actually more attractive than Jada Pinkett Smith.
Jeff Ross
True. That.
Nate Bargatze
Personality alone, that makes me feel really good.
Big J. Okerson
Yeah. I want to thank Dr. Drew, too.
Duncan Trussell
Jesus.
Big J. Okerson
Dr. Drew writes all of my Oxy, Xanax prescriptions whenever I need it. Thank you, Dr. Drew.
Duncan Trussell
Oh, Louis looked at me longing leg.
Jeff Ross
Really?
Duncan Trussell
You can get that shit for me.
Big J. Okerson
Whatever you need.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Dr. Drew is going to do my first finger up the butt thing.
Jeff Ross
That's weird. You've already had two guns up your ass.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Shut up, dude. I've had one gun up my ass. I'm going to have another gun up my ass, too, tomorrow.
Jeff Ross
Nate.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Welcome to Skank Fest.
Unknown
It hasn't changed.
Nate Bargatze
Dr. Drew at the midnight show is going to be offering free prostate checks.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah, Dr. Drew offered to do my first prostate check on Legion of Skanks Live.
Nate Bargatze
Really?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah. Fact. You know what, Dr. Drew? We have nothing planned for tonight's show.
Unknown
Yeah, and if you could you check.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
My asshole to make sure it's okay for Jay to put the gun in my asshole.
Jeff Ross
Tomorrow. Yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
And is there a chance that. Is there a chance that it's not okay? Because you find something in there to be like, hey, Jay, maybe this is not the time to put a gun in his ass.
Jeff Ross
Dr. Drew, would you run full back into Lewis's ass so I can come behind just. If you could break the hole, I'll pop through it, dude. Doctor, give me the A gap. I'm through it.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
What if we give you gloves?
Duncan Trussell
Yeah, what if?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
What if?
Jeff Ross
One of the options. No gloves. If we could find prostate examination.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Slide it in raw.
Duncan Trussell
Drew, so glad I know you guys.
Jeff Ross
When you do it. Dr. Drew, can you put your hand on one of his shoulders, though? He likes that.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I do. As long as you make eye contact with me, but I have to look from behind like this. Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jeff Ross
Are you guys ready? You did that for Story Wars.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Let's get the game going.
Jeff Ross
We wait till there's a natural lull.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah.
Jeff Ross
Our first story, Dr. Drew.
Duncan Trussell
And please, nobody pluck these audios out of context and put them up somewhere. You understand? This is a sacred environment and the topic is religion. As a kid, I wouldn't jerk off on certain religious holidays because I thought God was always watching and it was disrespectful.
Jeff Ross
What?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I mean, let me say this 100%. I did this as a kid. I would not jerk off on Christmas. I would not jerk off on Easter. But unless I'm forgetting, I don't believe that I submitted this story. So somebody else has the exact same story as me.
Jeff Ross
It's you then.
Unknown
Yeah, that could be.
Jeff Ross
Yeah, that's a good throw off. I've never thought of doing that. I do have this story, but this isn't me.
Unknown
Every story that's funny. That's the same story I had verbatim.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Do we not all have this story? Would you guys jerk off on, like, Easter and Christmas?
Jeff Ross
I'm Jewish and I'm not. Not jerking off for eight days of Hanukkah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Dude.
Jeff Ross
That's outlandish. That's outlandish. No God would want me to do that.
Big J. Okerson
My parents made me jerk off on Easter. I didn't want to.
Nate Bargatze
All I know is on 4th of July, I'm gonna jerk off thinking about Louie's outfit.
Jeff Ross
I'm gonna go. I feel like Jeff. I feel like you grew up semi religious.
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
Jeff Ross
Where this could have been in your head. And Jewish holidays, they make a big deal about God is watching. I'm thinking, this is Jeff.
Nate Bargatze
There's that old Jewish joke too. Or there's an old Joke, right?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Like.
Nate Bargatze
Like, hey, if you keep jerking. You know, my mom caught me jerking off. It's like, if you keep. And she's like, if you keep doing that, you're gonna go blind. I was like, mom, I'm over here.
Jeff Ross
Jeff, in the seven bazillion jokes you've written.
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
Jeff Ross
Clever, witty things no one else would ever think of. You fumbled on that one there.
Nate Bargatze
That one's not mine. That one's not mine. That's like. That's an old joke.
Jeff Ross
But, yeah, I could.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I could see this being. Duncan. Duncan, did you grow up religious?
Big J. Okerson
I did, yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
What religion?
Big J. Okerson
Well, technically, it's a masturbation religion that emerged from ancient Babylon. Baal. We worship a God called baal. And, yeah, you just gotta jerk off on Christian holidays.
Jeff Ross
It brings a good harvest, Right? Yeah, I've been a little dabbling in that religion.
Nate Bargatze
Nate's, like, fumbling around in his fingers. He looks like he's nervous. Like, this nerd Nate. Now he's worried.
Jeff Ross
Jerk off.
Unknown
Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm telling you, I'm out. I wouldn't have said any of that. Yeah, I was like. I was talking to Christine. I was like, they're not gonna do anything, like, crazy, right? And this is the first one.
Jeff Ross
So if defense, though, it says that they wouldn't do it.
Unknown
That is true. That is true. That is nice.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I'm thinking that this is Duncan Trussell. I think he's. He's fibbing right now.
Big J. Okerson
He's playing the game of disgust with you. I have been impotent since I was three. And my father. I watched my father get attacked by pit bulls, and I have not been able to come since.
Jeff Ross
Damn it. Now I think it's Duncan. Yeah, I had Jeff. I'm going, duncan, I'm right on.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
My final answer, Duncan Trussell. Here we go. Once you guys put it on the board, it's your final answer, and you can't change it, and that's that. So write it in. My final answer is Duncan Trussell.
Jeff Ross
My final answer. Duncan.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Nate votes for Duncan. Duncan votes for Jeff Ross.
Nate Bargatze
Hold on. Well, now you're making it too easy for me. No, but I really think it's Nate.
Jeff Ross
Well, it would be a good one for Nate to throw in and be like, whoa, whoa, I said nay. Spicy stuff.
Unknown
If I ever go dirty, that would be. That's as dirty as I'll go. Is that.
Nate Bargatze
Imagine. Imagine whoever this story is, imagine, like, God is now watching this.
Unknown
Well, it's not to think that God wasn't watching the whole time it was just on holiday. Like, he goes, well, no. Well, it's Easter, everybody, so I better get my eyes out.
Duncan Trussell
I'm just figuring with this panel, whoever this is has subjected God to a lot since this story was a thing.
Jeff Ross
Yeah, no, very. For sure. But that is true. It's like, why do you think on the holidays, it's when he peeks in on the thing. Wonder what little Duncan's doing in his room.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Because I specifically have this story. I will tell you. The reason is because, like, you're like, obviously God can watch you on a Tuesday jerking off, but he's not going. Like, it's not like you're just doing it right in his face to fuck with him. You know what I'm saying? If I'm doing it on Easter, that's just disrespectful.
Jeff Ross
Oh, you're jerking off at God.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yes, exactly. Right in his face. Than the day that his son rose.
Jeff Ross
Sorry, Nate, I'm going with Duncan. I would have stopped this conversation. I'm sorry.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Final answers are in, Alex.
Duncan Trussell
Final answers.
Unknown
I'm scared. It's Louis.
Duncan Trussell
Is there an audio before I announce?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I might have just put this in.
Duncan Trussell
I don't remember any weird sound effect before I tell you who it is.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Oh, you know who it is.
Jeff Ross
I know who it is.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Oh, nice. Dr. Drew, who is it?
Duncan Trussell
Louis J. Gomez.
Unknown
I knew it. And that's what he did.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I told them. So here's what happened. I wrote. I wrote and I shit you not, like 12 episodes of stories. On an airplane ride one day, I was just like, fucking. Let me just get all my stories in for the next three months. So I wrote these religious stories.
Jeff Ross
Like, you can't not know they're yours.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I have no idea.
Jeff Ross
You can't be actually dumb to it.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
But yeah, that was definitely my story. I guess I won't say that again if I think it could be mine, because that's obviously mine. You guys didn't vote for me. I gave you the tip.
Jeff Ross
You said, I didn't send this. So that means someone has the exact same story. Why do I keep believing you?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
That's above board. That was an above board way to play the game.
Jeff Ross
Completely my fault. I'm looking at you, I'm like, I'll take what Lewis says. Look at him. He's probably not going to steer me wrong.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah, no, exactly that, though. I wouldn't.
Nate Bargatze
Dr. Drew, can I ask a question real quick?
Duncan Trussell
I suppose.
Nate Bargatze
Is it healthy to masturbate? Like, is there something you would tell someone who's paranoid that God is?
Duncan Trussell
Yes. In fact, there's some. Some evidence that might reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Nate Bargatze
There you go.
Jeff Ross
Thank God.
Duncan Trussell
You God.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Nice.
Jeff Ross
So I won't even get checked then?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah.
Nate Bargatze
God is going to start masturbating because of this.
Duncan Trussell
You got to get Duncan in the game. He's not going to masturbate at all.
Big J. Okerson
So if God doesn't want us to masturbate.
Duncan Trussell
I didn't say that.
Big J. Okerson
And masturbating is good for us.
Duncan Trussell
Yeah.
Big J. Okerson
Is God still benevolent? Doesn't that mean God's evil? Thank you.
Jeff Ross
Whoa.
Big J. Okerson
Never say that again.
Jeff Ross
Come on, man. Come on. Trying to have a nice show here. This place is getting out of hand.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Dr. Drew, let's go to. Let's go over the scores. Scores. I'm in the lead with four points. Everyone else has zero points. That's right, bitches.

Unknown
Specifically, I would think it's Jeff.
Jeff Ross
This smells like Jeff Ross to me. Me.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
True. That's what they said in the shower.
Duncan Trussell
I saw a Jeff in a maximum security penitentiary with a bunch of Nazis screaming at him, telling them to off. But that was in this country.
Unknown
Yeah, I mean, so imagine what they do in Germany.
Jeff Ross
Jeff roasted people at the wall and he roasted prisoners in prison. Holocaust joke in Germany.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Jeff should have gotten roasted in Germany. Come on.
Big J. Okerson
What the.
Nate Bargatze
Too soon.
Jeff Ross
How do you like your master generals roasted?
Nate Bargatze
Actually, I do. I was in Amsterdam and I took the Anne Frank walking tour, and I took it backwards, so it had a happy ending.
Jeff Ross
Back to the good old days. Eating with your family downstairs?
Nate Bargatze
I like to stay up.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Have you been to Germany, Duncan?
Big J. Okerson
Yeah, I taught there.
Duncan Trussell
What'd you teach?
Jeff Ross
What'd you teach? American history.
Big J. Okerson
As a matter of fact, I did. I taught American history in Germany for four years.
Jeff Ross
It's a good time to whip NFL.
Big J. Okerson
It's the best time of my life. It's a beautiful place. It's probably the greatest civilization that ever existed.
Jeff Ross
Stylish as all hell.
Big J. Okerson
Yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
All right. Nate wouldn't tell a Holocaust joke. I've never been to Germany. It's one of these three guys in the middle.
Nate Bargatze

Jeff Ross
Lewis's chest tattoo. Yeah, but it says there's never enough.
Nate Bargatze

Unknown
Okay, well, this is just a lot of people standing here, so I just.
Big J. Okerson
You know, the reason I know it's Jay, and I don't know if this is fair or not because, like, I'm a big fan, and one of my favorite books, my favorite joke books of all time is yours truly, Tasteless Holocaust Jokes.
Jeff Ross
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big J. Okerson
So good, man.
Jeff Ross
Yeah. But time and place, you know what I mean?

Dr. Drew Pinsky
I'm giving my final answer as Big J.
Jeff Ross
My final answer is Jeff Ross.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I think it's Big J because he was the first to put the vote in. I think that's a big J tell as he wants to get the voting going. When it.

What. What war was this?
Nate Bargatze
This would have been the. The operation Enduring Korea during Afghanistan and Iraq. About 2000, about 18, 19 years ago.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Jeff, are you okay? What just happened to you?
Nate Bargatze
Well, he.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Is your. Is your alopecia acting up? What? Is doc help?
Nate Bargatze
No, I wanted to get the facts right because it was in Germany. I have to remember it because I kind of wrote it quick, but. And it was like anything goes kind of crowd. We were entertaining the doctors and nurses that were taking care of severely injured people on the way home. I wore. I wore an orange vest, which was what the guys that have head injuries would wear when they walk around. And that was a big hit. But so I was used to Going for it with the military. But then my buddy was like, let's change our flight, Fly out of Berlin, have dinner. And there was an open mic in East Berlin. This is like 20 years ago. And I didn't know any better. I just went up, and it was like half the audience kind of understood English. And I made a joke about David Hassel. I go, you know something about David Hasselhoff being more popular than Adolf Hitler in Germany. I don't know what the fuck I said, but basically it was one of those. And I think I said, my aunt Bess always wants me to date Jewish women, but she won't just come out and ask me overtly. She'll be like, I didn't catch her last name, dear. And I'd be like, hitler, Aunt Bess. Jennifer Hitler. And something like that. And then I was doing fine. And then when I got to that joke, the whole audience just stopped laughing. And I found out later that holocaust jokes. Jokes about that stuff. You can make fun of the Nazis, but you can't make a holocaust joke.
Unknown
So what if it was just that joke?
Nate Bargatze
There is a law just for that joke.
Unknown
They go, it's illegal. Whatever. Talk about your aunt. You're like, my aunt. You can't talk about ants here.
Nate Bargatze
They're like, your aunt Bess and Hitler are both illegal.
Duncan Trussell
Lewis still ahead at four. Duncan far behind with zero. The other three with two. All right, here is the third story. Two of my neighbors tried to lure me into their religious cult when I was a teenager.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Who doesn't have this story? I mean, seriously, what? I mean, come on.
Jeff Ross

Dr. Drew Pinsky
I'm telling you right now, we all have this story. I didn't submit this. I know I didn't submit this.

Fuck you. I'm too stoned for this trickery.
Unknown
I don't think Louis talks to his neighbors, and I don't think they want to talk to me.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
They would talk to me.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah. So that I think that takes him out. I like Duncan.
Jeff Ross
This feels Duncan to me also.
Big J. Okerson
It feels like me, too. I know. Like, yeah, I would think it was me if I wasn't me, but it's not me. I love cults. And it would have made my summer if some neighbors tried to lure me into their religious cult. Yeah, but I was so alone in the summers, man. Like, my dad was working. I was just, like, watching.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Let me just say, Duncan just gave a detail. Summer. This says nothing about summer. So I feel like Duncan's fucking showing his ass right he's filling in little details here.
Jeff Ross
Now Lewis does this. Lewis tries to dig somebody else after he told us right away it's him.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I'm very good at this game.
Unknown
I am a master familiar.
Jeff Ross
Yeah. Damn, dude, I this.
Unknown
Hey, I could speak of Colt. Yesterday I was in Waco, Texas. I was at David Koresh's property.
Jeff Ross
Oh, I was gonna say, was he at a steakhouse now? Yeah, I was at David Koresh.
Unknown
That's what I did to corporate. It was very funny. They were like, they raised donations and she goes, you know, because the government won't give us any money. I'm like, didn't he fight the government? I was like, yeah, I think that's why they wouldn't. But it's all there. So. So a lot of fun stuff.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
This is tough. This could be anybody.
Jeff Ross
No one's really showing their to Lewis.
Unknown
And I. I got Duncan. I think it's. Yeah, but I mean, if Lewis is going to go the whole route with this. What story I have.
Big J. Okerson
Nate, I promise you, it's not me. Like, I really promise you, like, it's.
Unknown
A mistake in your head.
Big J. Okerson
I promise you, I wouldn't lie to you.
Unknown
It's not me.
Jeff Ross
Promises are empty. I'm doing it.
Big J. Okerson
Yeah, it's not me. When I was a kid, I had more people into my cult.
Unknown
Yeah, but this could be when it started.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
This could be anybody. This could be Nate acting right now. This is fucking nate. This is 20 years of acting lessons.
Jeff Ross
I don't know why I didn't.
Duncan Trussell
20 years.
Unknown
I've never taken you thinking acting and.
Big J. Okerson
Swears I've never done that.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I just touched a nerve with Nate. If you state of taking acting lessons, he will get really pissed.
Unknown
I didn't take acting lessons. That's you. You took them. I haven't ever acted. That's y'all. Y'all act.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I took. I took one auditioning class and it was horrible.
Jeff Ross
I hated it so much.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown
Y'all are big actors over here. Stand up right there. So you guys the Hollywood elite.
Jeff Ross
All right, one. Once it turned. Once it turned to Nate, Nate started flipping up. But I wrote mine.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
So Nate's having a full fledged meltdown right now.
Jeff Ross
I can't.
Unknown
I swear to you, it's not me.
Duncan Trussell
So you guys are kind of lost. Let me just say, if two neighbors approached a teenage kid. Neighbors. There must have been not much parenting going on.
Unknown
Yeah.
Duncan Trussell
So does that or no.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
There could be a really good neighborhood.
Duncan Trussell
Or a really shitty neighborhood.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
It's either a terrible neighborhood or A great neighborhood. Neighborhood.
Nate Bargatze
The neighbors could also be teenagers. We don't know what this story.
Duncan Trussell
That's true.
Nate Bargatze
This could have been two friends trying to get you into a cult.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
My neighbors were junkies. They were not in cults.
Unknown
I know, but you joined a bunch. You were in bands and stuff like that.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah, bands aren't cults, Nate. Jesus Christ.
Unknown
It's the same thing, you know?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
That's that devil stuff, you know?
Unknown
No, but a dumb, weird band. When he dressed all weird, I dress weird. Yeah, Me.
Duncan Trussell
Nothing weird about that.
Jeff Ross
I fucked up. I wrote Duncan, I got Nate.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
That's my final answer.
Jeff Ross
I think it's Nate, but I have Duncan. Duncan's my.
Unknown
I got Duncan.
Duncan Trussell
Come on, Jeff.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Jeff's writing Nate.
Duncan Trussell
Final answers. Big J.
Jeff Ross
No.
Big J. Okerson
God damn it.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Come on.
Big J. Okerson
Incredible.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Come on.
Nate Bargatze
What cult? What cult?
Jeff Ross
That's a clean sweep. Jews for Jesus. Oh, they were two neighbor kids across the street. They were brothers. They both had the same, like, curly kind of Jew froze. And, like, those kind of smiles were like, their tongues are out of it a little too much. But they had cool toys and shit, because cult people do. That's how they get you. And I would play with them, and then they would just, like, say a bunch of, like, Dianetics. Facts. That sounded, you know, I. You know, we're, like, playing with their cool Transformers, and they're like, do you sometimes feel lonely and depressed? I'm like, yeah, guys, whatever. My mom's broke. I don't have these toys. I'll listen to whatever bullshit you have to say. And then they were. And then they got me one time, and they were like, you should come to one of our, like, meetings at the place. And I was like, yeah, you guys rule. And then I told my grandmom, and she was like, absolutely not. And then I think their parents came over to talk to my grandmother, and I think she was kind of, like, in the most polite way. Way.
Unknown
Well, I can tell you, you. You really showed them with your life path.
Nate Bargatze
I had two neighbors lure me into a Ben and Jerry's once.
Jeff Ross
Really? How does that story end? Probably not religious.
Nate Bargatze
No. Me eating for the rest of my life. Kiss Army. I got lured into the Kiss Army. Oh, that's a fun cult as a young boy, but.
Jeff Ross
Oh, that felt great. Oh, look at that. Let's take a look at the scoreboards. Dr. Drew, if you wouldn't mind reminding.
Duncan Trussell
The people, Big J Okerson jumps out in front with a score of six. Lewis lagging with four. Jeff, Nate, two. Duncan.
Big J. Okerson
It's rigged.
Nate Bargatze
Doc. Doc. Doc, can I ask a religious cold question? What's the psyche of somebody? What's the vulnerability that they look for? What does that person looking for in their life life that they could be tricked into?
Duncan Trussell
The cults. Yeah, it's almost anybody. Adolescents in particular.
Jeff Ross
Yeah. In this room. Anybody.
Duncan Trussell
This, anybody. I like the way Jay characterizes Christians though as cults. But it's good.
Jeff Ross
So it's Jews for Jesus. It was a weird little.
Nate Bargatze
I always thought that was like dogs for cats. I never understood juice for Jesus.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
If it was called juice for Jesus, Jay would have joined.
Jeff Ross
Yes, I would have.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Jay loves a sugary drink.
Duncan Trussell
So called love bombing is a very common technique and they get these kids that are sort of looking for something. They just happens very commonly. Be careful.
Dr. Drew Pinsky

Duncan Trussell
Story number four.
Jeff Ross
I feel good. That feels great, doesn't it? When they play the thing. Yeah.
Unknown
Cool.
Duncan Trussell
I ate a bunch of communion wafers with a priest's son.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I bet you did. You swallow those wafers hole. I bet you did. This seems like a nice, sweet Nate Bargazzi story. And it's. It's. It's eaten him alive ever since he was a little boy. He ate those communion wafers. Wait, but no, no, that's catholic.
Jeff Ross
I was gonna say it was like Duncan and more of, like, an evil. Like, I eat these as snacks. The flesh of Christ. But now you're right. It might be sweeter than that. It might be a sweet Nate being like, oh, we're gonna get so much Christ in us. Like, what a cheat. I ate a sleeve of Christ.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Well, priest, dude, I put peanut butter on Christ.
Jeff Ross
I ate a whole little peanut butter and jelly Christ flesh sandwiches.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Put two Christ flesh sandwiches together, and then.
Big J. Okerson
Okay, here's my theory. It's a little meta. I'm sorry if I cut you.
Unknown
No, go ahead.
Big J. Okerson
Whenever it's you, you start off with some, like, blaming somebody else. Like, meta pattern is emerging here. I think it was you. It's Gomez for sure.
Nate Bargatze
That's a tell.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Don't you ever point at me again, Duncan.
Big J. Okerson
I'm sorry, but it's. It's.
Jeff Ross
You piece of man.
Big J. Okerson
It's. You.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Don't you point your finger at me, evil son of a.
Big J. Okerson
This is rigged.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
The devil's in the room, and his name is Duncan Trussell. It's not me. I'm telling you, I did not do this. This is a story anymore. This is a story that I do not have. I would tell you if I have this story. I did not submit it, and I do not have it.
Big J. Okerson
Hold your hand like this.
Jeff Ross
See?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
See?
Jeff Ross
Steady arrow, priest. Steady is an arrow.
Nate Bargatze
I have a theory.
Jeff Ross
Oh, I've never seen a steadier arm.
Nate Bargatze
Go ahead.
Unknown
Well, I was thinking priest is. I've never had a priest. We would not call them priests. We're in the South. I didn't go to Catholic church. We got a pastor.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah.
Unknown
What do they call Catholic priests?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
What do they call them? What was your priests called?
Unknown
I don't know. I try to think of a joke. They're just pastors.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Pastors.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jeff Ross
No, but also, Alex, because if there's words that would kind of give away who it was. Like, if it did say pastor or she.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Well, communion wafer is just in the Catholic Church. They don't give communion in any other religion.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
So it's not Jeff.
Jeff Ross
Sounds like they was good. Yeah. You don't even do that.
Unknown
Yeah, I don't even know what that is.
Jeff Ross
It's. I.
Unknown
We have Communion.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Do they give you a little shitty cracker? They say body of Christ and then they put it.
Unknown
I know. Yeah. I do it every week.
Jeff Ross
Or maybe Jeff did it and see. See if he can become a day walker or something.
Unknown
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
That's why his hair fell out. They put it on A Jew's tongue. And it went.
Unknown
Yeah, but that's. That eliminates. Unless, you know, he was on his bin and Jerry kicked. And then he goes. He just walked into building. He going, what food you got in here?
Jeff Ross
This is a difficult one.
Nate Bargatze
That's my theory, is that it's the funniest version of the story, is if it's a Jewish person, and I know it's not me, so I think it could be Jay.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Well, Jay's also raised half Catholic, maybe.
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. And it has dessert. And it has dessert.
Jeff Ross
No religion really, at all.
Big J. Okerson
Right.
Jeff Ross
But you don't have to be religious to eat wafers with a priest. So you could just know a priest's.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Son, but who knows a priest's son? That would be crazy.
Jeff Ross
Probably a lot of people.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
No way.
Jeff Ross
Well, maybe not in this room.
Nate Bargatze
Oh, a pastor.
Unknown
I bet there's a bunch of. This room. All right. There's more right there.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Clap your hands if you know a priest's son.
Unknown
Yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Security, remove these people right now.
Big J. Okerson
Lewis, can I ask you to do something? But will you cross yourself like they do in the Catholic Church?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Like Jesus?
Big J. Okerson
Like, how do they cross? How do they do it? It's Gomez. It's Gomez.
Jeff Ross
God damn it. I'm going with Duncan.
Unknown
I go.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Oh, I think the only one that makes sense here is Duncan. Duncan, you weren't. You're not gonna tell me what religion you were raised, though?
Big J. Okerson
Baptist. You're not priest.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Duncan doesn't blink when he plays this game.
Big J. Okerson
Botox. I can't blink.
Nate Bargatze
I can't believe how good you are at this. You guys already, like. I don't know how many of these have you done? But that. We're not figuring it out by your joke. Like, you guys are really good at covering these up.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah. No, no, We've won all. We've only lost two games. It's like our 10th or 12th episode. We've only lost twice to Chris D. And to some dude who just came.
Jeff Ross
It was like, I saw him online. His videos are cool. And then he came in and took our foia.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Corey. Corey B. He's like a Shane. Oh, yeah. Shane won. Yeah. Yeah, Shane won on Thursday. She dominated us.
Jeff Ross
Dominated us.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Final answer. Duncan Trussell.
Jeff Ross
Duncan Trussell for me.
Unknown
I'm going. I'm going.
Jeff Ross
Lewis, this could be Nate Jay, do.
Duncan Trussell
You get an answer? Oh, there it is.
Jeff Ross
Yeah, I have.
Duncan Trussell
Duncan, Answers are in. I've got a million questions for this guy. Duncan Trussell.
Jeff Ross
Yeah, I got it, I got it, I got it.
Unknown
I got it.
Jeff Ross
I got It.
Duncan Trussell
He doth protest too much.
Big J. Okerson
Yes, that's right. I'm learning. I was trying to do what you do.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
It was good. You're playing the game very well, Duncan.
Big J. Okerson
Thank you.
Duncan Trussell
Did you worry that since it was a priest son, you were eating these crackers with, that he had converted them to the body of Christ and you were a cannibal?
Big J. Okerson
Well, no, I mean that it was, like, a real intense moment for me because I was raised Episcopalian and, like, I thought these things were, like, Jesus flesh.
Jeff Ross
Wait, it wasn't a masturbation religion. I believe everything everybody says. I'm a rude.
Big J. Okerson
Yeah, it was wild. And, like, I made friends with a priest kid, and, like, he took me back into the, like, weird place where they do the, like, molestations about it. We didn't call it that. And I don't like it that you call it that. He. It was really wild, man. Like, just watching. Like, I didn't realize, like, they put it. It just is like Ritz crackers. Like, they pull them out of a box. It's got, like, a logo, communion wafers. And then we're both hungry. He's like, let's just eat these. And I was like, oh, fuck. God is dead. This is all just bullshit. I'm in here eating. I didn't know they have to be transubstantiated at the time, but it really, like, threw me for a loop. And the glee. The glee is he's eating them little crumbs of Jesus flesh falling out of his face and. And this sparkle in his eye as he's, like, red pilling me on Christianity.
Duncan Trussell
What's he doing now?
Big J. Okerson
What? What's he doing the next week? Really sad, man.
Nate Bargatze
That was a transformative moment in your life, I bet.
Big J. Okerson
Yeah, no, it was. It was a really big moment. It was really cool. Wonderful moment.
Jeff Ross
They're disgustingly bland, right?
Big J. Okerson
What?
Jeff Ross
Aren't they, like, super bland?
Big J. Okerson
Not when they have jizz on them.
Jeff Ross
Nice.
Unknown
Thank you.
Jeff Ross
Yeah. The ookie Holy cookie, dude.
Duncan Trussell
So. Oh, there we go. Big J still out in front with an eight. Lewis lagging a little bit with six, but coming up from behind. Duncan's got one.
Jeff Ross
Yeah.
Duncan Trussell
Jeff Ross with four. Nate with two. It's question number five.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Hold on. Before we go to question number five, you guys should know that is our halfway point, ladies and gentlemen. The next four questions are double points. Anybody's game, folks. Anybody's game really is.
Duncan Trussell
Who are we pulling for up here.
Jeff Ross
By? Everybody's gonna want to see a.
Duncan Trussell
All right, number five on my first day at a new church, my parents told me to go sit with all the kids. It was the youth choir row, and I got pushed out and had to go sing with them, and I did not know the songs.
Jeff Ross
Nate Bargassi, locked in, loaded.
Unknown
We didn't have youth choir. We called it something else. We never had any of that stuff. I've never. We didn't have kids at the school, at the church. That's not me. That's crazy. That's crazy. When would I even have time to write that? I wouldn't. I don't even have time.
Nate Bargatze
It's not a fucking deposition, you know, it's okay, Jeff.
Unknown
I don't know what to tell you. I've never. I'll be honest with you. I've never seen this a day in my life.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Oh. Oh. I mean, first of all, I can't unhear it in Nate's voice. It's so written in Nate's voice.
Jeff Ross
Just so pleasant. He was. It was a different day.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I had to sing a song. I didn't want to sing a song, but I didn't know the lyrics of that song.
Jeff Ross
The thing was crazy.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
It was probably maybe the worst day.
Unknown
Of my childhood, you know, It's a story. Oh, wait, it's not me. If it was me. It's. It's not me, though. But it was a story that I. Well, I'm gonna. I.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Why don't we vote before you.
Unknown
Yeah. Before you tell the story for no reason obvious. Yeah, I'll vote.
Big J. Okerson
Man.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Final answer is Nate.
Unknown
Mine is obviously not me.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Okay, everyone votes Nate. Nate votes not himself. Dr. Drew, whose story is this?
Duncan Trussell
Maybe we ought to have him actually read it in his own words. He will hear his voice. Sing it. It is Nate par.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Nate Bargazi.
Nate Bargatze
I'm psyched for this.
Unknown
It was. We went to church. It was the first day. My buddy's like. We're like, eight years old. And so I just was like, I'm gonna go sit with my buddy. I saw him. All the kids are in the same row, and I go sit up there. But we're new to this church. And then I don't know that it's. They're in the youth choir. I'm just like, oh, we're sitting here. And then they get called up, and I'm like, on the front, and they're like, go, go. And I don't know what to do. And I lead them to the steps, so my parents are in the back. I mean, this is our first day at this church, and I'm now on stage like eight. And then I'm just mouthing the words because I don't even know the song. I don't. I'm not supposed to be there. And that was your parents confused looking everybody. Yeah, my parents don't know because, I mean, there's no read. They're like, why does he. Why is he up there?
Jeff Ross
Have you seen Nate? Yeah, yeah. What the.
Nate Bargatze
And you say you're not an actor. That's great acting.
Unknown
I did great acting that day. That was the last day I did it. But that day. But they just pushed me out. And you just have no. Like, where you're like, yeah, yeah. Y'all go out, just hang out. I was just like, all right.
Jeff Ross
I guess I'm in it.
Unknown
I kind of knew the idea. And you're like, I'll just go up there and stand with him.
Big J. Okerson
Do you remember the song? Like, no, no.
Unknown
It was Baptist, so it was just like. It would be a hymnal. But what I was saying is like, I've always wondered if I could make that story a journey, and I never have. But it is funny that it comes out here. I didn't think that for sure. I didn't think I would ever. First time I tell the story, it'd be like we're doing a skate fair. I guess I'll save it.
Nate Bargatze
You gotta sing the song at the end in the joke you got as an 8 year old. Like, what was the. Whatever you. It's blah, blah. Whatever you did is probably funny.
Unknown
Yeah. I mean, I don't do songs in my act, but it's. If I'd imagine. I know what you mean. Yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Wow.
Unknown
Maybe do a voice.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Nate has no respect for Josh Adams. Holy shit. Did you see that? The way he said that?
Nate Bargatze
I don't do music song. I'm saying that was a. Another transformative religious moment in your life.
Unknown
Oh, yeah.
Nate Bargatze
I'm just going to be a phony until I get. I mean, you know, religion for me is like. It sounds like Harry Potter. It doesn't make sense to me.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
What if Nate punches Jeff in the face right now?
Unknown
Yeah, but I mean, I would look at Alakuzam. Yeah. I would bet that Jeff has it figured out and he's out of all the ones religion.
Nate Bargatze
I'm Jewish. I'm proud of that. I go to temple like twice a year. Christmas and Easter, the high holidays.
Duncan Trussell
Skaggs are pulling out in front. Big J at 12, Lewis at 10. Dunkle's got 5, 5, Jeff 8, Nate 2.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Steal anybody's game folks, three questions left.
Jeff Ross
Game.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Okay, let's take a quick moment and thank Shop Mando for supporting today's show. We love Mando. Mando makes Total body deodorant. You. Most of you guys probably are only wearing deodorant on your armpits. You're a disgusting piece of shit.
Jeff Ross
You should know that dicks smell like.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Shit from your asshole, your grundle, your. The crevices, your fat. Every you. There's everywhere.
Jeff Ross
You have a fix yourself, you piece.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Of everywhere where you can sweat. Everywhere that has a little bit of an area where more can build up. You should be using deodorant. And Mando has Total Body deodorant that is proven to control odor for 24 hours. And they have incredible products. Not just their deodorant, but they have their four in one acidified cleansing bar. J.
Jeff Ross
Yes. Incredible. Five ounces. It does the job of shampoo, face wash, body wash, and deodorant. They couldn't legally call it the Puerto Rican shower bar.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
That was illegal.
Jeff Ross
But if you need a quick shave, it can also create a rich lather, which technically makes it a five in one. It's the Swiss army of soap bars.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
All you got to do right now is go to shopmando.com that's M A n D O. When you use the promo code wars, you're going to get $5 off their bestselling starter pack, which is incredible. It includes a stick deodorant, a cream deodorant, plus you get two product choices of your choice. I'm going to highly recommend getting the ball wipes. They're deodorant wipes that you use for your balls. And l. Literally. You don't even have to shower if you have them.
Jeff Ross
No, I just line my underwear with them. Like a panty line.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yep. I love it. Just right now, go to shopmando.com use that promo code wars. $5 off their starter pack this holiday season. All right, where were we?
Duncan Trussell
Points are double. Question number six. I spent a summer going to a religious camp every week and trying to convince the youth leader that God wasn't real.
Jeff Ross
Duncan Trussell. Man.
Nate Bargatze
You got me.
Jeff Ross
Nate would never do this.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Dude, what if this was Nate's story?
Jeff Ross
Yeah, it was my one wacky summer. I talked everybody out of God.
Unknown
We didn't have camps.
Jeff Ross
We called it something else.
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, we did. My family did.
Jeff Ross
Yeah, yeah, Jeff did go to camps, but.
Unknown
And he did just try to convince me of this.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
This is true. I could see. I could see Jeff Ross specifically Joining a Christian summer camp.
Jeff Ross
Yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
And trying to convince everyone that God's not real.
Jeff Ross
A lot of people actually call the Holocaust the endless Summer.
Big J. Okerson
Oh, no, I rebuke that. I rebuke it.
Nate Bargatze
Oh, my God.
Big J. Okerson
It's Gomez. For sure. It's Gomez. You know why I know this? Because I mentioned God and you had, like, this instant Richard Dawkins like, reaction. Like you're like, that shit's not real. Some dude up in the sky. I don't even know if you remember saying that.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah.
Big J. Okerson
When you said that, you know what I saw underneath it all? A desperate need for the Lord. And I did. I did they all. All of them. That's how it starts. Because you're connected with God in the negative. And I'm going to bring you home to Jesus, baby. I'm going to bring you home to Jesus. But it was you.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I think that Duncan is deflecting in a major way right now and playing the game and throwing it on me. And this is. You guys will know this. When I was younger, I did believe in God. So when I was at a youth camp age, I. I've been kind of believing God, but enough so that I wasn't jerking off on holidays. So I wasn't trying to convince anybody that God wasn't real. I think that this is Duncan and he's doing a whole right now. Look at him. Look at his face.
Big J. Okerson
Loves you. God loves you.
Unknown
Hold on. What? I got one thing with Lewis. What if this was the summer after your dad died and.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Oh, Jesus.
Unknown
Oh, this is bringing up a good point.
Jeff Ross
That is the year where you'd be, like, questioning your face.
Unknown
You know, he doesn't have a father.
Jeff Ross
Oh, Jeff. Okay, Nate, you may have convinced me.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
That it's Lewis, but my dad was killed by a man named Jesus, so.
Jeff Ross
Oh, yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
So I believed. Oh, I believed. Oh, it could be Big J, too, by the way. He's just sitting here playing. This Jay's good.
Unknown
Well, Jay, you know what?
Jeff Ross
Well, you know what? When Duncan pointed at me, it's Louis, it's Lewis.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Here's Big J. The way he just did that.
Unknown
I know what J.
Jeff Ross
As soon as he mentioned it already. Do you think it's me?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jeff Ross
But do you feel. Think it's me?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yes.
Jeff Ross
Yeah, it's you.
Unknown
I think it's.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
What game are you playing now? I think it's Big J. I think it's Big J. I kind of go.
Unknown
With Big J because I think. I think what Big J does is act like he really flip flops. Because his answer doesn't matter.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
It's a game.
Unknown
Because he could write Duncan Lewis. It doesn't matter. It's Tim.
Big J. Okerson
Wait, is it.
Jeff Ross
You think I have no stories in my life?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Here's what I'll say.
Jeff Ross
You can just camp.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
If you show it up, you can't change it. Okay. If you. Until. Until you show it, you can see.
Big J. Okerson
How excited he got for me to change it.
Nate Bargatze
I have a theory. I have a theory.
Jeff Ross
I'll show it now. Duncan, I see you.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
All right, I'm going. Big J. I think it's Big J.
Nate Bargatze
Can I. Can I. Can I tell you why I'm going with Big?
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Why?
Nate Bargatze
It's been a night of transformative religious stories. His first time on stage. Somebody else had one like that. And Jewish people have religious Jewish camps, like Jewish white camps. I feel like Jay may have been a part of that. He would be the disruptor. He would start to realize he's funny and people listen to him. Him as a. As a kid at camp. And I feel like that would be a transformative moment for Big J Okerson.
Jeff Ross
Can I say something before anyone put their thing up? The summer camp that I did go to usually was at the Jewish Youth Community center. And it was. But it wasn't religious, but it was technically Jewish summer camp. Maybe it's me, but it's not. It's Duncan Troll.
Duncan Trussell
Jeff, what's your answer?
Jeff Ross
Answer, Jay, Duncan, trust him.
Duncan Trussell
If he does not believe in God, it begs the issue why he did not masturbate during holidays. Religious holidays in particular. It is Louis J. Gomez.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
You're goddamn right it was.
Jeff Ross
I wrote it. I wrote it.
Big J. Okerson
I'm in your head now.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yes. Yes. Yeah. No. I was, like, 14 years old, and it was Nyack, New York. We would. There was. It was just. There was free snacks. It was chips and, like, candy at this, like, that. We just knew a kid who went. He was like, oh, come. It's like our religious camp thing. And we would go all the time, and I would wear, like, Marilyn Manson T shirts. And I was like, dude, God's not real. I'm just eating their chips. And, yeah, the guy, the main youth leader, he, like, wanted to make it his mission to, like, get through to me and, like, make me believe in God. And it just didn't happen. I started, like, getting kids to not believe in God. They kicked me out.
Jeff Ross
Past the Sour Patch Kids.
Duncan Trussell
But help us understand why, then the no masturbation on the religious holidays.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Well, the no masturbation. Because I really did. I barely ever Believed in God. But I was like, well, if there is.
Duncan Trussell
Just in case.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Just in case. I'm not gonna jerk off right in his face. That's fucking crazy. Disrespectful.
Jeff Ross
Some people do that with prayer. You do it with masturbation.
Duncan Trussell
Called Pascal's wager.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I'm retaining my come for Jesus.
Duncan Trussell
Lewis is up at 16. Big J, 12. This gangster leading the pack.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Goddamn right. I'm about to take this book home, boys.
Duncan Trussell
Jeff at 8, Nate, 2. And it is question number seven. At a comedy event, I saw a priest in the front row and made a joke about him being a creep. Nobody left, and I bombed. And I found out afterwards that he had been in jail.
Unknown
All right, look, this takes me out because I don't do crowd work.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Look at judgmental Nate. No musical comedy, no crowd work. Holy. Up there in your high holocaust jokes.
Unknown
Yeah, no, Yeah, I draw the line, dude. There he goes.
Jeff Ross
I. I feel Jeff Ross. Am I read?
Unknown
I would think. I would think Jeff.
Jeff Ross
I think Jeff is a comedy event is what strikes me there.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
It was like a private event for Steve Jobs.
Jeff Ross
So, yeah, something like that.
Unknown
Yeah, He. At first, he wrote at a roast, and they go, well, you don't put. And he goes, oh, all right. I'm sorry. Comedy event.
Jeff Ross
Nate, you're also part of comedy events. But I do agree, if you saw a priest, I don't think your thing would be, like, no. Hey, you fucking with kids, or. It doesn't seem like your style.
Unknown
No, no, I think, yeah. All the people on the show I would have been on would have done.
Nate Bargatze
I wouldn't do a joke. This on the nose is what Jay's saying, which is true.
Unknown
But if you're bombing, all bets are off. You kind of just are trying to get out of it. Like, if it's a bad situation, I wouldn't know. You just end up, like, not bombing, but it's, like, just not a good situation.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I don't think it's Jay, because Jay wouldn't admit to bombing.
Big J. Okerson
You know, I've never had a priest at any of my comedy events.
Unknown
He got a chicken thrown at him.
Big J. Okerson
Hasn't happened. But I feel like this is Jay just. I don't know why. I just have some weird sense it's Jay. I don't think it's you, Gomez, but maybe Jeff. I can't imagine, like, both of your stories are about. About saying some offensive stuff about different religious people.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I mean, it is written in the same cadence as the other story that was Jeff's story.
Jeff Ross
I would do this. Maybe I sent this in and I don't remember.
Nate Bargatze
This feels like Big JJ, you know, 101 right here.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I'm. I'm going to get the voting going. I'm saying, Jeff Ross, this is my vote.
Nate Bargatze
I feel like I pictured Jay on a stool, work in the room, sees a guy, he's like, what do you do? He's like, I'm a priest all day long.
Jeff Ross
I would, but.
Unknown
But I don't. But I don't think, honestly, Jay would. You would get out of it. He wouldn't say you bombed like you said. And he would.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
They wouldn't say.
Unknown
He would end up talking about like, yeah, he would, like, sit with them or something.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah. Jay would ask the priest if he's ever seen a black cock.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jeff Ross
No, true. Listen, I was like, here's why it wouldn't be me. Also, I saw a priest in the front. There's no priest in the front row of any of my shows. But if it's a priest who had previously been in jail would be at one of my shows.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jeff Ross
For pedophilia. Everybody would know that in the town. And that's why no one laughed. And I would have bombed this one time.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Doctor.
Jeff Ross
True, but this is not. This is not me. I'm gonna go. Jeff Ross.
Nate Bargatze
Dr. Drew, you look like a disgraced priest. What do you think?
Duncan Trussell
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, my friend Jeff Ross. What I want to know is why, if the guy had been in jail. Well, I'll ask questions later, whoever it is, so.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
All right, final answers.
Jeff Ross
Call. Final answer. Jeff Ross.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Jeff Ross.
Big J. Okerson
For me, Jeff Ross.
Nate Bargatze
I know it was big Jeff from Nate.
Duncan Trussell
Don't vote against the skanks. They zeroed in on the comedy event of Jeff Ross.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yes.
Big J. Okerson
Nice.
Duncan Trussell
Why was he wearing a collar if he'd been in jail? Was he dressed like a priest?
Nate Bargatze
It was for the Larry King Cardiac Foundation. Larry King had eight heart attacks at some point, I guess in the, you know, like late 90s or something.
Duncan Trussell
That is a comedy of.
Nate Bargatze
It was a big time Hollywood tuxedos. I still lived in New York. I didn't have any friends in la. I didn't want to. I didn't care. I had no nothing to lose. So I was probably bombing a little bit or at least nervous. And there was a guy in the front. They weren't rows, they were like tables. Like, everybody paid. So somebody brought their, like, priest. And I was like, hey, Father, great to see you. When did you get out?
Jeff Ross
Oh.
Unknown
Oh, wow.
Nate Bargatze
And I lost the room completely. So bad That I had to apologize to Larry King.
Jeff Ross
Larry King.
Unknown
Why would Larry. Larry King brought a guy. He goes, I got this one priest coming. And they go, is he cool? He's like, I'm not gonna get into all the details about it, but let's sit him up front.
Nate Bargatze
It turns out he had gotten in trouble, not for creepy so much, but for some kind of financial scam. But he had been to jail, so the whole thing was like. It was like a record scratch kind of moment. And I didn't know what happened. The funniest part was me bombing for the rest of the set, then being backstage going, how did I lose him on that joke? Finding out later on that that was what happened.
Jeff Ross
Then they.
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, then they lured me into a cult called Christianity. No, I'm just kidding.
Duncan Trussell
Lewis now out in front with 20, Jay with 16, Duncan with 13 coming on from behind, Jeff 8, and Nate 6.
Jeff Ross
There's some points anyone's game except Nate.
Duncan Trussell
It is question number eight.
Jeff Ross
Final question. Story.
Duncan Trussell
This is story number eight.
Jeff Ross
I bet you do it.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
This is crazy.
Duncan Trussell
Okay, so I got a comment on this one. When I would go dove hunting as a child, who in this panel grew up in the British countryside and went dove hunting? It's me as a child.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
It was for soap. In my neighborhood, when I would go.
Duncan Trussell
Dove hunting as a child, I would try to bring the dead birds piled up in the back of the truck back to life.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
This is.
Unknown
No, y'all are completely wrong. I'm not a hunter.
Jeff Ross
First of all, dove hunting sounds, like, sacrilegious.
Unknown
Yeah, I've never. Yeah, I didn't dove hunt. I don't. I'm just confused on which one of y'all would like. That's what's so crack. Because this is not me, and I don't know dove. I kind of think Jay.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
I'm also watching Nate, but you would.
Unknown
Have to go to some weird thing, and then you would get sad.
Jeff Ross
Back in my dove hunting days as.
Unknown
A child, you'll be sad.
Jeff Ross
In west Philadelphia, you would be as sad.
Unknown
That's what you love.
Jeff Ross
Those gulls, dude, those are gulls in the schoolyard.
Nate Bargatze
I think I read this on back of the truck.
Jeff Ross
Who had a truck?
Nate Bargatze
On RFK's Wikipedia page. I think this is stolen from RFK's Wikipedia page.
Unknown
Would.
Big J. Okerson
It's got to be Nate. That's a southern. No, that's a southern thing.
Jeff Ross
I don't see Nate. First of all, I know to a dove in the back of a truck.
Unknown
I know that is the southern thing. Is bringing birds back to life. But I've never gone dove hunting.
Jeff Ross
Yeah, I know Nate has that accent, but he's not a green mile. He can't.
Nate Bargatze
This is like if you asked AI to write Purple Ra rain, the only when doves cry.
Jeff Ross
When I would go dove hunting really implies on our regular dove hunting trips. Son, get your ghillie suit. We're going dove hunting.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Also, what an. What an evil thing to do. Doves are beautiful birds that we use for magic. Why hunt them? Why would you hunt them?
Jeff Ross
You release them whenever Michael Jackson gets away with pedophilia. Remember that Count one innocent dove.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
It's either Nate or Duncan. I think Nate would have gone dove hunting. I feel like Duncan would try to bring back animals from the dead.
Jeff Ross
That's what I think, too. And then use them for, like, to do his bidding.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yeah.
Big J. Okerson
Yes. Yeah.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Yes. Doves. Now you will kill.
Big J. Okerson
Call it, necromancer.
Jeff Ross
Kill Fermi. Doves bring message to the west. Duncan Trussell has just started his army.
Nate Bargatze
When I would go dove hunting.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
All right, I'm gonna. I'm gonna get the voting going, because we do have to end the show soon enough. I'm gonna vote for Nate Bargazzi. I think there's gonna be Nate.
Jeff Ross
I'm going Duncan.
Unknown
Nate, I'm going.
Jeff Ross
Duncan Trussell, Final Duncan. MF Answer. This is it for all the marbles.
Duncan Trussell
Final answers are in. I literally had to look at this one three times. It is Duncan Trussell.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Damn it.
Duncan Trussell
What the hell, Dude?
Jeff Ross
What a mysterious past you have. So full of. Not mysterious. Even the wrong word. Like mystic.
Big J. Okerson
I'm going to be honest. I'm pretty sure it was quake, not dove. And I didn't. And, you know, it's been a long time since it happened to me, so I'm sorry if I threw people accidentally that way, but. Yeah, my dad loved to go hunting, and he wanted me to be a hunter like him. So he'd take me out with all of his hunter friends, and I fucking hated it, man. I hated it. They had dogs that would go on the retrieve. It was terrible. They would just blow the shit out of these beautiful birds. And then in the back of the truck. Truck, There'd just be piles of dead birds, you know, and just.
Jeff Ross
You just. In the back of the truck, be.
Big J. Okerson
Riding in the back with a pile of dead birds.
Unknown
Yeah.
Big J. Okerson
Praying.
Jeff Ross
Damn, dude.
Big J. Okerson
God. Like, please, God, just bring him back to life. And I try to breathe life back into them. And my dad was mortified. Like, his hunter friends were so embarrassed.
Jeff Ross
My gay Boys back there French kissing all the doves.
Unknown
Look at your boy.
Jeff Ross
They're quail, Dad.
Nate Bargatze
I learned it from you. Dad.
Jeff Ross
Will you leave me back here with him? Things are gonna happen.
Unknown
He's just throwing them out of the back of the truck. Fly, fly. And they're just.
Jeff Ross
Dead dogs.
Unknown
Come on.
Jeff Ross
What is a John Woo movie?
Unknown
Sit down, boy. Sit down. He's yelling at him.
Jeff Ross
No, dad, take the disguise. This one. His eyes are moving. Go. Oh, my God. Our final. Oh, wait.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
No way.
Duncan Trussell
Well, and here is the final score. The Skanks are tied for first. Lewis and Big J. 20 story wars. Not far behind with 17, Jeff with 8 and Nate with 10 is the skanks. Once again, Jay, I'd say we just split.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
We split the book.
Jeff Ross
We don't need to do a tie breaker book. It stays in the middle.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
Everybody just tear it in half.
Jeff Ross
It stays in house with the Story warriors.
Duncan Trussell
I'm so proud.
Dr. Drew Pinsky
That's right.
