Hi, this Alonzo Bowden, and I want to welcome you to episode 164 of my podcast.

Who's paying attention?

You'll have to forgive me if my voice is a little thick or if I have a few sniffles.

I was in Grand Rapids this past weekend and among other things, I got snowed on.

Got hit with, I don't know maybe six eight inches

of snow it was cold but a fantastic weekend I love Dr. Grins in Grand Rapids places always packed

I did six shows four of them were sold out it was great interestingly for those don't know, Grand Rapids is home of the Amway

Corporation and the DeVos family. And that's where we got our new Secretary of Education

who never taught. But she's another Trump pick. I don't even know her name off top my head.

But anyway, it was interesting for me to be in a Grand Rapids town.

Because as you may or may not know, I'm not exactly what you'd call a Trump supporter.

You know, that's just me.

But anyway, the response was good. There were a couple of people at the last show who seemed a little upset about my Trump

jokes.

And I don't like spending too much time on Trump in my act.

If I do 45 minutes, I'll spend at most eight minutes on Donald Trump because I just don't,

I'm tired of feeding it it I'm tired of the narrative

but it's what we have to talk about right and and that just leads me right into my podcast so

time magazine called Trump person at a year and people were upset you you know, I'm not upset. I understand it. Listen,

love him, hate him, whether you disbelieve that he became president, whether you just think

it's funny and you're part of that Saturday Live world, or you're just plain scared.

No matter where you are on the Trump spectrum, Trump was easily the biggest story this year.
