I personally wouldn't call it free thinking to assume that every single thing on the news is a lie. Free thinking is discernment, you think and judge for yourself, don't fall in love with any single perspective, ie all news is true, or all news is fake news, they're both two sides of a binary. I will say he's mostly a free thinker for sure, but everyone has their blindspots.
Back when Steve was playing drums, all us metalheads used to live in huge houses in Sydney, there"d be 5 or 10 of us paying the rent, and often half a dozen visitors at any one time.... anytime Steve was in a room, everyone would be sitting in rapt attention while he stood there talkiing shit and cracking us a'll up. Those were the days🤘
I miss that era too, for very similar reasons. The supposed 'cool kids' of today are like our nemeses from back then: busybody, controlling, uptight church ladies who don't get ANY OF IT, nor do they want to ("shut it down!"). It's unbelievable, how did this happen to the DIY, anti-establishment, artpunk underground?! Art and comedy...pfffffhtthh, gone in 2021 thanks to these dorks who are seen as the 'cool kids' of their generation. Imagine if they went back in time to the 1990s underground music and art 'scenes'. Oh dear.
That was pretty much what Malcolm X used to tell African Americans. He was seen as very dangerous by the government because essentially he was telling African Americans to sort their own shit out, think for themselves and not be dependent on the government, That was twisted into promoting violence, but really he was saying stop being dependent.
Steve hits the nail firmly on the head when he stated how can we have a conversation when all the frames of reference have been thrown out of the window.
7:10: My new favorite quote: "I'm a 53-year old man. I don't need some 20-year old with pink hair to tell me I'm a racist". That about sums up my feeling about these woke kids. Please view 30 seconds before and after for perspective.
@@rolandschneider1741 It goes to the ability of a 20-year old, barely awake to myriad of conflicting aspects of navigating the world, to assess his - or my - beliefs about races. And yes, I adhere to the 'old' definition of racism. The new 'everyone who not black is a racist because they live in a society where blacks on average fare worse than whites' is bullshit. It's useless. Because if everyone is a racist just for living in a certain place then what's the point in using that term. Meanwhile, the term 'racist' evokes some really nasty connotations which very few people whishes to associate themselves with, so it becomes a weapon against which there is no defense. Btw. it was never an argument but more a feeling of "You don't get to judge me based on near-zero knowledge of me or my values and possibly a snippet of what I've said, taken out of context."
@@Necromonger69 don't be such a crass asshole. While I don't think we need the term 'ageism' (fucking everything is an 'ism' these days), the guy does have a point. It's a weak argument to state "I'm older and therefore wiser" - the more appropriate and effective tactic is to prove your wisdom through sound argumentation, without recourse to immutable traits.
This is one of the best Triggernometry interviews I've ever watched. The guest is not the educated type of "intelligent", but he is certainly intelligent. Much appreciated.
I enjoyed the talk but TBH the laugh was just annoying, if your funny we'll laugh with you if not I don't need a signboard when to laugh. Sorry mate but that laugh just got on my tits.
I remember watching Steve at the Apollo about 10 years ago and my mates and I laughing our heads off to his routine about political correctness. Many of these friends would probably try and cancel Steve in 2020. It's a shame that many of us have become so joyless.
Caught him about 15 years ago in a club in Putney, London. No idea who was performing, just took a punt. Still my favourite stand-up today. A rare and wonderful combination of intelligence, insight, balls, humour and humility.
"You shouldn't bring the law into offence because a vegetarian can get offended at a barbecue.." What a brilliantly succinct summation of this hellish existence we now found ourselves in.
I meet woke people OFTEN in my social circles. I am a musician in the Jam/Hippie/EDM Festival scene > but it’s worth running into them and dismissing their outrageous talking points with humorous banter aka “omg is this guy serious?” type of humor. It’s the only method I’ve seen work because if you get people laughing then the spirit of wholeness will feel *shame* which ultimately is an analogue of *guilt* which is the what they let pursuance them in these discussions (not rationale)
Ugh. I'm in the UK Civil Service and complaints of 'offence' (even if they're obvious attempts to push political conformity) are pandered to to a nauseating degree.
@@Bot23 ONS. If you've got a 'BAME Network' it will be co-ordinated by a radical group called the Civil Service Race Forum. I'd investigate what kind of resources they're sharing. Good luck.
@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers Yammer is the civil service ran social media platform. They all use it. It's so politically bias you get investigated if it runs counter to the Globalist narrative, no wonder Priti Patel exasperates as Home secretary, the civil service is awash with Liberal lunacy and Yammer is where they organise everything from. I'd scrap it.
Agree completely. That discussion should have gone on for another hour. It was painful when it ended abruptly in the middle of some very incredible (incredibly intelligent) commentary from Hughes.
Steve is incredibly wise, funny, and intelligent. One of the few genuinely brave comedians out there. He'd rather be authentic than be obsessed with popularity.
I was a teacher for 23 years, and I agree with Steve whole-heartedly. I had so many students who were labeled ADD, ADHD, etc. long before the parents and system allowed them to simply grow up and be a child. Insane! Colleagues always asked me, "How did you make him/her do that!?" I would reply, "I didn't make him/her do anything. I let him/her be & explore the topic." Simple, but so hard for teachers and adults to do, who want to control children (for classroom management). You can't. You can guide them through discipline, common sense, and kindness, but you can't control them. Now, many of them are out on the streets, rioting, or losing themselves, taking drugs. And still, the system and the "community" look the other way. I, personally wish I could help, but am not sure what to do. So much has gone amok and apeshit crazy.
The look on these guys faces is classic, he may as well have come from Mars. Hey guys this is what sanity use to sound like back in the day when truth wasn't objective
I think Konstantin must have either been really really tired, medicated or not feeling 100%. His eyes were very heavy lidded and blinking very slowly and his lower face was super slack for most of this.
Rogans not worthy of Steve mate, C'mon,Joe's a fkn sellout. He thinks his mate schaub is funny, he's not even funny FFS. Like some of his Podcasts but.
Incredibly fantastic interview. I could have listened to him talk for another couple of hours. Hughes's really thought provoking comments don't spill out all at once, they emerge out his ongoing conversation. I didn't want this to end because I'm sure there were things he would have said over another hour or two that I really, really would have wanted to hear. He's a wonderful human being.
OMG As an old NYC metal chick, I think exactly like him. I've been *wondering* where we all are! It did seem that the two young bucks were a little unsure of what to make of him lol Which is just what ppl like us like ;)
Absolutely brilliant interview. Loved the guy, loved, what he say. He gets it. He’s brilliant. 😆 Hilarious with it. Have a complaint though, it wasn’t nearly long enough. He’ll need a return visit. Thanks all x
Steve has been one of my favourite comedians for a really long time. So glad you guys got him on. Steve is what I always thought the Australian spirit looks like, with resilience and toughness. Cheers Steve :D
I've never heard of Steve before now, but he seems like a really down-to-earth and open-hearted guy. Oddly enough I've never seen KK so frazzled by a guest before.
yeah Steve is way beyond these guys, but they seem wise enough to learn from him instead of being offended by him.....watch Steves 'while its still legal' here on utube, its his best imo
Steve Hughes sounds like he has been on a similar journey to myself and I can only conclude that he is now self aware, that allows you to then be aware of everything else and how it all works, once you are over yourself, you can see that.
Steve Hughes is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I'm a 13 years younger, Australian woman and I was brought up thinking and speaking the way Steve does. Then along comes political bloody correctness, which put a major spanner in my upbringing. Which in turn, makes everything very confusing for me. I virtually sit on the fence with most issues, as I really have no bloody idea where I stand in society anymore. I'm confused. 😂😭
I'm from a small town in New Hampshire. We had one black family growing up. They were very nice. I tell people now "It's really easy avoiding racism when there are no other races around." He did make a great point about the south.
I've visited many places in the US on biz trips, and I can honestly say that the best times I've had were in the southern states, with southerners. There's a base level of politeness and respect there that the rest of the country doesn't have. I'm ashamed of all the Hollywood-driven stereotypes I believed about the south as a child growing up in the UK. And don't think for one moment that any of this was by accident...
I've thought about this for years. The "south" has been used as the corporate approved liberal punching bag for a very, very long time, used as an "enemy within" onto which liberals could project (in the Freudian sense) all their own repressed and disavowed behavior and traits. More recently, the "south" as been replaced by the "Trumpster" - southern and mid-western non-college educated ex-workers whose jobs were outsourced abroad. Interesting how those people are now considered "the enemy within," the very people whose lives the global corporatists have destroyed have been made into the vehicle onto which educated liberals can project their repressed fantasies (and march along to the corporatist tune without ever having to admit that is what they are doing).
indeed .. he is the only person i have ever heard mentioning the media interviewers doing their little head knodding thing like little dogs or change the subject when they loose the argument . This is so impartial .. but what did anyone expect
It's only financially motivated though, it's not some massive agenda or anything. I mean, would you seriously expect every single news outlet on the globe to all somehow share and agree on the exact same narratives for the exact same reasons while at the same time being in tight competition with each other, that kind of thinking is rediculous . You can't have that many organisations/people all pulling in the same direction for the same unspecified reasons.
@@jedaaa well lets just say names such as Disney , Time Warner , News Corp , Viacom in usa and international media . In Europe lets say germany where Bertelsmann owns a huge array of the media and France where Lagadere and Bouygues own most .. For UK the Daily mail group make up a huge part .
Love Steve Hughes. I saw him perform at a comedy gig in Tokyo last year. Fantastic. Chatted with him after the gig for about an hour. An absolute dude. We need more like him!
From about 35:00 onward, Mr. Hughes suddenly gets to the heart of many matters in our current society. He has clearly spent a lot of time thinking/reasoning on these things. At 45:00 he reveals his recognition that we need to let go, and let the world do the same. We cannot predict the future, and the attempt to schedule our actions on a minute-by-minute basis is non-productive if we won't stop to smell the flowers. Great interview!
Steve was awesome. Wish the interviewers would have lightened up a bit though - felt awkward to see them looking so serious while Steve is cracking jokes and laughing!
Always loved Steve Hughes stand up and the breakdown he went through has obviously resulted in him being even more on point than ever. Thanks for getting him on the show!
Well I'm only a little over halfway through, but I am compelled to say, right now, what a *brilliant interview* this is turning into. How in the world did you know what you were getting into? Or did you? This is great stuff. Congratulations! Just sayin'
They wanted out within the first 20 minutes when they were saying he was being transphobic lol neither one had the balls or the sense of humour to handle his views.
Great show. I was wondering today why Judie Tzuke was so successful as a singer, and I realize it's for the same reason that Steve Hughes is successful. They are successful because they express humanity.
@Kevin solway. ...etc, wow, just wow, I've become almost a 60 year old bloke and have NEVER heard ANYBODY even reference Judy Tzuke before! Probably one of my first proper crush, and of course I would "stay with her til dawn ". Fuck me, who wouldn't?
Thank you so much for this, I reached out to Steve back in the spring to find out his thoughts on all of this, but never got a reply from his youtube channel.... Thanks again for getting his thought out there for us all.
A great conversation among open minded individuals with no judgement of another persons views, when you listen with an open mind who knows what you might learn
Why? Have you not heard enough of Joe's same old tired opinions. These guys were perfect interviewers. They asked decent questions then let him take the floor. Joe wants to waste half an hour telling his guest/audience the same shit he did in the last 100 podcasts
@@russpoore8997 I am now. And I don't care about all that audience nonsense. I'm Irish, not American. That stuff doesn't interest me. And for Steve's mental health, I don't think opening him up to another 30 million people would be healthy
Interview of the month! Thanks Triggernometry for inviting Steve to appear. Steve Hughes is a national treasure to Australia and up there with Bill Hicks for his social insight. Search YT for his 2012 stand up "While it's still legal", excellent!!
This guy is nuts. I loved it. He visited areas in life we rarely talk about. The end of the show felt like when my wife bumps in to her friend while we're in Sainsburys. 🙄
lol- this whole episode was like talking to your old metalhead uncle who you can't get off the phone no matter how many times you try to interrupt his rambling. Good work.
I remember in the 90s quite a few times at parties been pinned in a corner by blokes like Steve, thinking what a paranoid nutcase . but guess what ?they were nearly all correct ..
One of my all time favourite comedians. Glad to see him back on form, I recall he had a bit of a breakdown not long ago. Btw, lads who are interviewing him, can you try to look less constipated when the camera pans to your faces? Throws the viewer right off.
As a former Northerner who now lives in the Deep South in the US, southern culture is nothing that I had been led to believe it to be. Southern hospitality is a real thing. The South has a much friendlier culture than the NorthEast where I grew up.
As one of the few women (chromosomally so) commenters here, I have to say in all the time I’ve heard Steve speak - in routines, interviews and in conversation, he’s never said anything that I’ve disagreed with. Steve speaks for many women who share these unfashionable views. Great to see you well and vibrant Steve, you wise ole wizard!
Those two interviewers look terrified and completely unsure of whether to laugh, piss themselves or agree. Chill out lads, Steve's just riffin. He's tellin the truth and he's on point, but just fuckin Chillllll...!!! It's okay to think for yourself! 😂
Absolutely love this guy. Great interview with someone who has learnt to be wise by recognising that (while invested in egoic outcomes) he isn't. Taught me something BIG (with my being a 'conspiracy theorist' who recognises "enemies of the people" while NEEDING them to change their minds).Brilliant. Thanks.

A rare oasis of logic and open mindedness. Love you to bits Steve, never stop what you're doing!

Good interview. The comments on the American South was striking & scarily true.
I'm from a small town in New Hampshire. We had one black family growing up. They were very nice. I tell people now "It's really easy avoiding racism when there are no other races around." He did make a great point about the south.
I've visited many places in the US on biz trips, and I can honestly say that the best times I've had were in the southern states, with southerners. There's a base level of politeness and respect there that the rest of the country doesn't have. I'm ashamed of all the Hollywood-driven stereotypes I believed about the south as a child growing up in the UK. And don't think for one moment that any of this was by accident...
I've thought about this for years. The "south" has been used as the corporate approved liberal punching bag for a very, very long time, used as an "enemy within" onto which liberals could project (in the Freudian sense) all their own repressed and disavowed behavior and traits. More recently, the "south" as been replaced by the "Trumpster" - southern and mid-western non-college educated ex-workers whose jobs were outsourced abroad. Interesting how those people are now considered "the enemy within," the very people whose lives the global corporatists have destroyed have been made into the vehicle onto which educated liberals can project their repressed fantasies (and march along to the corporatist tune without ever having to admit that is what they are doing).

i still use the intro to this day.
Great interview. Steve just talks common sense, and he gets extra bonus points for having toured with Faith No More. 👍
This man is wonderful. Such astute observations. I’m so glad you gentleman managed to get him on. Superb.

There are so many people afraid to be themselves this day, Steve is refreshing, he's everything the world and comedy scene needs right now !
Totally correct about the psychological manipulation of us by mainstream media
indeed .. he is the only person i have ever heard mentioning the media interviewers doing their little head knodding thing like little dogs or change the subject when they loose the argument . This is so impartial .. but what did anyone expect
It's only financially motivated though, it's not some massive agenda or anything. I mean, would you seriously expect every single news outlet on the globe to all somehow share and agree on the exact same narratives for the exact same reasons while at the same time being in tight competition with each other, that kind of thinking is rediculous . You can't have that many organisations/people all pulling in the same direction for the same unspecified reasons.
@@jedaaa Do you really think “ all these news outlets” are somehow independant from each other ? They are mainly all owned by 8 consortiums ...
@@lordlucan7655 name all 8 of them
@@jedaaa well lets just say names such as Disney , Time Warner , News Corp , Viacom in usa and international media . In Europe lets say germany where Bertelsmann owns a huge array of the media and France where Lagadere and Bouygues own most .. For UK the Daily mail group make up a huge part .
Love Steve Hughes. I saw him perform at a comedy gig in Tokyo last year. Fantastic. Chatted with him after the gig for about an hour. An absolute dude. We need more like him!
I was not expecting this - but I love it. Steve Hughes is amazing!
From about 35:00 onward, Mr. Hughes suddenly gets to the heart of many matters in our current society. He has clearly spent a lot of time thinking/reasoning on these things. At 45:00 he reveals his recognition that we need to let go, and let the world do the same. We cannot predict the future, and the attempt to schedule our actions on a minute-by-minute basis is non-productive if we won't stop to smell the flowers. Great interview!
Steve was awesome. Wish the interviewers would have lightened up a bit though - felt awkward to see them looking so serious while Steve is cracking jokes and laughing!
Think they were triggered :) They are lefties at heart really
@@ameliawrong2960 Nuff said x
They are normally more chatty, I am surprised at how quiet they are.

As the old saying goes, 'Get over yourself!'
(Being offended is artificial anyway - you're
either angry or upset, if it's real.)
Always loved Steve Hughes stand up and the breakdown he went through has obviously resulted in him being even more on point than ever. Thanks for getting him on the show!
Well I'm only a little over halfway through, but I am compelled to say, right now, what a *brilliant interview* this is turning into.
How in the world did you know what you were getting into? Or did you?
This is great stuff. Congratulations! Just sayin'
Living under a RoCk there Sam?

I don't get out much.
They got more than they bargained for with this interview. You get the feeling that the hosts wanted out half way through.
They wanted out within the first 20 minutes when they were saying he was being transphobic lol neither one had the balls or the sense of humour to handle his views.
Neither one of them could argue against his points... left doesn't like honesty
@@insomniacbritgaming1632 As Steve himself would say 'no point in constantly preaching to the choir'
"Do not throw pearls before swine."

Steve's interviews over the past year have been stellar.
I'm pretty sure they knew about Steve.
What a guy. Funny and smart as hell. Appreciate him so much.
As a Steve Hughes fan for many years, I think he deserves more than just "it does make sense" from the hosts.
Excellent chat guys thanks! I did know who Steve was and have been spreading his words for years!
Great show. I was wondering today why Judie Tzuke was so successful as a singer, and I realize it's for the same reason that Steve Hughes is successful. They are successful because they express humanity.
That is the most incredible comparison on the Internet
@Kevin solway. ...etc, wow, just wow, I've become almost a 60 year old bloke and have NEVER heard ANYBODY even reference Judy Tzuke before! Probably one of my first proper crush, and of course I would "stay with her til dawn ". Fuck me, who wouldn't?
I’d love to see Steve Hughes on a 3 hr minimum pod like Rogan. Just getting asked the right questions and listening.
Very insightful thinker
Thank you so much for this, I reached out to Steve back in the spring to find out his thoughts on all of this, but never got a reply from his youtube channel.... Thanks again for getting his thought out there for us all.
A great conversation among open minded individuals with no judgement of another persons views, when you listen with an open mind who knows what you might learn
Absolutely perfect analysis. Sheer brilliance
smart man hits the nail right on the head and makes you laugh at the same time, more power to him
He's just using logic
I would love to see Steve Hughes on the JRE
Why? Have you not heard enough of Joe's same old tired opinions. These guys were perfect interviewers. They asked decent questions then let him take the floor. Joe wants to waste half an hour telling his guest/audience the same shit he did in the last 100 podcasts
@@matthewjamison Thank God someone said it! 🙏❤
@@matthewjamison It would open up a huge audience for Hughes. Are you aware of dualism?
@@russpoore8997 I am now. And I don't care about all that audience nonsense. I'm Irish, not American. That stuff doesn't interest me. And for Steve's mental health, I don't think opening him up to another 30 million people would be healthy
@@matthewjamison U2 were on Top of the Pops before they became pop. Are you a clinical psychiatrist?
always loved steve! glad to see he hasn't sold out like 99% of comedians. keep fighting the fight man!
Interview of the month!
Thanks Triggernometry for inviting Steve to appear. Steve Hughes is a national treasure to Australia and up there with Bill Hicks for his social insight. Search YT for his 2012 stand up "While it's still legal", excellent!!
This guy is nuts. I loved it. He visited areas in life we rarely talk about. The end of the show felt like when my wife bumps in to her friend while we're in Sainsburys. 🙄
lol- this whole episode was like talking to your old metalhead uncle who you can't get off the phone no matter how many times you try to interrupt his rambling. Good work.
Captivating! A thoroughly fascinating insight of Steve Hughes and a first class lesson on how to interview.
Brilliant guy, great interview. I’ve never seen you guys stunned into silence before!
What an amazing show , loved this! Cheered me up a lot, I'm smiling at the awesome info . Thanks all xx
I remember in the 90s quite a few times at parties been pinned in a corner by blokes like Steve, thinking what a paranoid nutcase . but guess what ?they were nearly all correct ..
I know exactly what you mean.
Yeah!!!
One of my all time favourite comedians. Glad to see him back on form, I recall he had a bit of a breakdown not long ago.
Btw, lads who are interviewing him, can you try to look less constipated when the camera pans to your faces? Throws the viewer right off.
I’ve loved every interview I have watched from Triggernometry but this has got to be my favourite! This buck’s unreal 😂
God, I remember seeing Steve Hughes ten years ago and he's always stuck in my head... back when health and safety was deemed intrusive...
Steve is a legend and that's non negotiable.
This was one of your most enjoyable episodes so far. Unexpected, well done.
That was fun. :) Guy was very honest about his view of this madness. Cool guest.
One of my favorite comedians, great episode!
I knew Steve was deep but this is mind blowing. Good to see hes recovered and looking well from a fellow 80s headbanger.
As a former Northerner who now lives in the Deep South in the US, southern culture is nothing that I had been led to believe it to be. Southern hospitality is a real thing. The South has a much friendlier culture than the NorthEast where I grew up.
The man talks common sense. The point about deconstructing christianity is absolutely on point. However nothing can be said about Islam.
That’s simply not true. If you understand Hughes’ point about deconstructing Christianity, it can certainly be applied to Islam too.
Steve Hughes was talking so much sense and the Interveiwers looked so blank. No CLUE TO LIFE
Steve is truly an inspiration and a real underground comedy legend that needs to get an HBO special.
Awesome to see you kicking around still Steve. I’ve appreciated your perspectives for years and glad you’re still in the fight.
As one of the few women (chromosomally so) commenters here, I have to say in all the time I’ve heard Steve speak - in routines, interviews and in conversation, he’s never said anything that I’ve disagreed with. Steve speaks for many women who share these unfashionable views. Great to see you well and vibrant Steve, you wise ole wizard!
Those two interviewers look terrified and completely unsure of whether to laugh, piss themselves or agree. Chill out lads, Steve's just riffin. He's tellin the truth and he's on point, but just fuckin Chillllll...!!! It's okay to think for yourself! 😂
"The pain wakes you up"
Mate. That's deep. ._.
Absolutely love this guy. Great interview with someone who has learnt to be wise by recognising that (while invested in egoic outcomes) he isn't. Taught me something BIG (with my being a 'conspiracy theorist' who recognises "enemies of the people" while NEEDING them to change their minds).Brilliant. Thanks.
