Drunken Peasants (DP) is an American social, popular culture, and political commentary podcast that started in January, 2014. The podcast was originally hosted by the mononymous Ben (aka. Benpai), TJ Kirk, and Scotty Kirk. Paul Parkey, Jr. (aka. PaulsEgo) became the fourth host in 2016. As of February 2018, the podcast is hosted by Ben and William Berry (aka. Billy the Fridge), along with a rotating lineup of guest hosts. The podcast predominantly features the hosts commenting on video clips from the Internet, with YouTube videos from other YouTubers often being featured.

In a 2016 episode of the podcast, right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos appeared to defend sexual relationships between men and 13-year-old boys, criticized the age of consent and made light of molestation by Catholic priests, according to The Daily Beast.^[2] Following publication of a video clip of the episode online, Yiannopoulos was dis-invited from speaking at the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), whose organizers accused Yiannopoulos of condoning pedophilia.^[3][4]
