Trey Knowles - Chasing the Wind

Trey Knowles’ “Chasing the Wind” is a hilarious stand-up routine where Trey breaks down life’s greatest scam: vanity on top of vanity. Everybody’s out here sprinting after success, money, and approval—basically chasing the wind… and spoiler alert: the wind never clocks in.

In the set, Trey tells a wild allegory about his son-in-law’s dad, who worked himself into the ground and never actually got around to living. Now the son-in-law says he misses his dad and wishes he could come back to life. Trey fires back, “Your dad does NOT want to be resurrected just to punch another timecard. Heaven ain’t got a 9-to-5!”

The routine turns into a comedy sermon about hustling yourself into the grave, grinding just to die tired, and realizing too late that you spent your whole life chasing the wind instead of enjoying the breeze.

It’s a funny, sharp, and painfully relatable take on working hard, missing life, and learning the ultimate lesson: don’t die exhausted from nonsense.
