I'm not saying that those are the same ones who then go out and fucking lean hard into waving the flag and, you know, going to sundown towns to shoot fucking music videos. No, you're right. Sorry, I'm laughing about, oh, fuck me.

My nose is bleeding. Hold on. Okay. They're the... liberal rednecks they like cornbread but sex they care way too much but don't give a fun they're the liberal rednecks that makes some people upset but they got three big old dicks that you can suck so I saw I saw that earlier where yeah Trump was like yeah you just can't have guns this is what happens when you have guns or something and like immediately I had to go like

okay, as likely as this is, let me make sure that this isn't AI because goddamn, that's even on the nose for the most on the nose people ever. And then, of course, it was true. And I was just like, I mean, we're, they're making talking points now that I would have begged them to make, you know, eight years ago. I'm like, you're right. The gun is this. I hear you, brother. Yeah, it's fucking crazy. I don't know.

To me, like, when it comes to the Second Amendment and everything, like, I've had guns my whole life and everything. like I've had guns my whole life and everything being, you know, from small town Missouri and shit. So like I never really, I always thought we should have common sense gun laws. And like, I don't think people knew they are 15s and shit like, you know what I'm saying. But, um, but yeah, I would always tell people that growing up because it was always a big thing when Hillary Clinton was running and then like in Obama years, like all they're going to take them around me. They'd be like, oh, dude, they're coming for your phone. They want your guns and shit. Right.

be like, dude, never once have they said they want your second amendment. But they always go, well, no, they didn't say it, but they said this, which is a slippery slope to that. And it's like, now you're watching these fascists trying to fucking take your job right in front of you and they don't give a fuck. It's like, it's only a slippery slope if you don't know how slopes work and you don't, apparently. But dude, like we, so when we wrote our first book, The Liberal Redneck Manifesto, hilarious name, I know, we, when we put it out, it went up for sale and then immediately there were Amazon reviews and it's like dude even if you were fucking Stephen Hawking you couldn't have even thumbed the book in enough time to form an opinion and we and now I don't I try not to go back and look at reviews but every now and then I'll be like I wonder what that book's been out for 10 years

I wonder what people are saying and you can always tell someone who didn't at all read the book by they'll go fuck these guys they they don't like guns they don't blah blah because we had an entire chapter in the liberal redneck manifesto called guns and it was basically us saying exactly what you just said, which is like, bro, we're from the South. We, that, that's our culture. And not that every culture needs to remain intact, especially about the South, but like, you know, the people that we know are responsible gun owners. They hunt and they in, you know, as long as you're using them to hunt.

And furthermore, you actually eat the fucking animal that you're killing. Like, not only do I not have a problem with it, I want you to be my neighbor. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm a chicken shit. I don't hunt. But my, both my brother-in-law, do and I'm stoked that they do because they can't eat all that deer so they give it to me you know yeah

I mean that's pretty much where we're I mean I grew up hunting so it's it's I never really thought anything like I dude I thought everybody hunted till I went to college yeah I mean where I'm from I'm I'm I'm really a lone wolf like I it just because a lot of people my family do it was just never my thing and I don't know I just didn't maybe I didn't like the cold or whatever but like I I only fished a couple times, too, because I'm one of those idiot golfers. And me and my father-in-law always have the argument. He's like, I'd love to play golf with you, but whenever it's good enough to golf, it's good enough to fish.

And I'm like, I feel the same way. Like any day that you would want to take me fishing, I've got to force some set up. And I just, you know, we're just two ships passing in the night. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's fucking funny, dude. But no, but like ever, so many people do hunt, you're right.

And like, I'm certain that was funny to you, like, when you were getting in, you know, deeper in the music industry and you're meeting a lot of new people because I'm from Chikamaga, Georgia. We're both from small towns and, you know, doing what we do, I think I attribute a lot of my, the right would deem it, wokeness on just, on just, I, luckily, I think stand up comedy, just being in the arts really helped form who I was. is a good person because otherwise I wouldn't have met so many people. I would have been homogenized and you know what I mean?

And I'm not saying that and I'm certainly not saying that you can't be from where we're from and be a good person if you don't get into the arts. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying it certainly helps. So yeah, I know that had to be a wake up call for you. Drew, we're talking with Brian here. I had to hit record because he was already spitting and we were having a good time. And he's talking about how.

You two fired each other up. You don't. Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah, we did. immediately. And he's talking about how much, I can't remember what time you said it was, but how much it blew his mind

when he found out that not everybody hunted. Yeah, right before I went to college, when I was moving in my dorm and my sweetmates were like, I was like, yeah, see you guys hunting fish and stuff? And they're like, no. And I was like, oh, okay. I was like, holy shit. I thought everybody hunted.

So, yeah, dude. What are you doing in the morning? You just sleep? in your bed on nice and warm, not covered in deer piss? What the fuck is your problem? I think I had a similar but awesome opposite reaction when Ron White did that joke about why he doesn't hunt. And my dad laughed.

Ron White has that joke like, you don't hunt. People, you know, you don't hunt. He's like, no, it's fucking early and cold and fuck that. That's how I feel about what is going on. I've been saying that for years and you shat all over me. And then some old asshole from Texas says it. Now it's cool. That might be why I became a comedian fuck.

Yeah. Well, Trey, we've already been going. Yeah, for five minutes. Damn, I was one minute late. It's not your fault. I was doing my normal thing of like listening to Creed before we start the show and I was walking around my room. And I looked over and Brian had already joined the studio.

And also he could see me just up to be like, I can't find who I'm here on the and I was like, shit, I got to let him in. And like as soon, he didn't even say hello. He just started fucking going. Did you see what fucking Trump did the other day? Told me how people, God damn it. I was like, dude, if I don't get recorded right. You all seen that.

Yeah, and I was like, I know what will happen. If I don't hit record right now, we'll just keep going and I won't do it. And that'd be so much worse. Well, hell yeah. I wish we were listening to clips of the character from the office set full volume. Creed. Yeah. Also a good choice.

He smashed on that show. My favorite, before we get into this, I now have to say my favorite Creed clip from the office, which I think should be everybody's. It's when someone took a shit on Michael's desk, and everybody slowly enters the office and they're just saying random, like, oh my God, that smells horrible. It smells like, you know, a baby diaper filled with Indian food,

all that sort of stuff. Everybody comes in and is talking about how foul it is, and Creed walks in and goes, somebody makes soup? Yeah. Oh, he is fucking funny on that, dude. Yeah. Well, how are you, Brian?

I'm good. I'm good, man. Just thankful you y'all was wanting to have me on the show. Yeah. So, Brian Andrew, I don't know what y'all said or not. No intros. For y'all, listen, Brian Andrews, if you don't know him, you probably do. He went viral recently for a genre video that I know our fans are well acquainted with,

losing his shit in the driver's seat of a vehicle over social injustices. Yeah. And they're coming in time. So a man after our own, you know, bleeding heart. Mr. Brian Andrew. He's also country music artist, so we're not musicians here, but we're like hillbilly comedians and shit.

So there's a ton of overlap. We want to reach out to him because we like what he's about. And now he's here. I want to know, I mean, just, you know, however much of it you want to give, just sort of the origin story. Like, you're from Kentucky somewhere? Or where you from?

Missouri. Okay. Yeah, because you don't have the accent as much, at least compared to my accent. Yeah, I'm like North Central. So it's like, I'm like a crossbreed between the southern accent and the Midwestern accent. Right. But now I'm from a town of 3,500 people, you know, lived here since I was seven years old.

I was actually born in Boise, Idaho, but then moved out here. 3,500 people, or as we like to call it, the big city. Yeah, dude, I'm in the biggest town in my county. Really? Right. Yeah. Like so. Trey.

Here we go. It's funny you say that where it's going to start a whole thing if we don't. watch it. But the first time he took me this hometown, I saw a dairy queen as soon as we got in the town, and I got mad. I was like, you've been stolen Baller in fucking small town America. Oh, Goddamn time

I knew you. Here's what, and I told my argument was always what you just said. I was like, Drew, my town is the biggest town in my whole county. I was like, your town is not. There's other towns with more people, but my town's the biggest town in my county and my town has about 1,100 people.

So it's still, and, and, And Drew, as I've said, you know, and I know you're thrilled for this. We lost the Dairy Queen finally. It held out for 20 fucking years, but it too closed down. You guys got a DG where you all from? Well, of course. Yeah. We have, I think, three dollar stores.

That's what they give you when your house burns down. Exactly. We got a family dollar and a dollar a dollar. No hospital. No hospital. But as many dollar stores as you fucking want. If you're a horse, you can get worked on. There's no band-aids.

Yeah, we don't, we're weirdly. Yeah, we got it, we got an animal vet too for like cows and shit. That's where my aunt weighs herself. So you said for like cows and shit, I used to have a bit that never hit for people because they're so, you know, crazy about animals, about having my hometown like pets and shit. Something about how many pets I had when I was a kid, they just kept dying or whatever. People would be like, why don't you go to the vet? Take them to the vet.

And I was like, the fucking, the dog doesn't go to the vet. The vet is for fucking horses and cows and shit. Right. Yeah. That's what the vet does. if I can take a dog to the vet and again, never hit for people. Well, because you then said you just throw the dog off a bridge.

I just said what people would do. But anyway. Here's why those people just had never experienced that because you know me, I'm the biggest dog queer on the planet, and I love that joke. Those people just couldn't fathom that ever happened. Yeah.

So, how many dogs have you thrown off a bridge? We need to know, because you're from Missouri, and we don't know if that's the South part of Missouri. All thrown off a bridge. I will say that they, like, if a dog got sick or something, they used to just take them out. Throw it off the bridge. Yeah.

Shoot a old yellow. Yeah. But they would slingshot it like they were skeet shooting. Then you hit the dog. And if you hit him. No, no. We don't, we don't do that no more. We have an actual event now.

And, you know, I can go up to take the dog up there and get him shots. You said no more. Yeah. That's right. Things have changed. May it please the jury, I'd like to enter into evidence. Did everybody just come to this on their own, or was there like an ordinance passed? Like, I'm, I am entering the No, Dogs Off Bridges Act onto the floor today.

Is that how you got into politics? That was your papal that did that. You come to a long line of vigilante blood traitors. It just started when they stopped. let us kill the dogs that's when this town went to shit it was the uh it was the dalmatian proclamation of 2004 yo you got him laughing like an anime character i know it really is not having a self-righteous comedian on the show you know they actually get the jokes it's great yeah so all right so yeah what is the so yeah you're from a small town in

Missouri. This comes up a lot. When we do interviews and stuff separately or together, the sort of like, Drew and Corey and my wife, who's also from a small town and most of the other people sort of like us that I know or what I call blue sheep in their family, you know, they're the gayest one at the dinner table at Thanksgiving and all that. I'm not really.

I'm from a very gay family, especially by Salina standards where I'm from. So like, Salina, Tennessee. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Salina Kansas.

Corey had the worst show and night of his life. The war show and night anyone's ever. It was unbelievable. I'm pretty sure the line of Kansas is bigger than 1100 people. No, no, no, no. That's the only show I've ever done where I had to get a lawyer immediately afterwards. And luckily it was Drew. So it all worked out.

So anyway, so for you, which, you know, which is it or neither was a political background? I'd like pretty much my whole mom's side of my family is Democrats. I mean, my mom for sure is. My grandfather, her dad, works in the union for General Motors for 30 years. So he was a blue his whole life. And my dad, his grandpa was a farmer and he was a Democrat this whole life. So my dad grew up Democrat too. And so he's pretty liberal.

And they're both music teachers now. And so I'm not naive to the fact that I probably got some of the views I did because I grew up in a relatively blue household. But I mean, you know, people don't understand how like, like in a small town you can be a Democrat but a lot of times even Democrats are pretty yeah you know yeah my grandpa my pap Paul was a was a lifelong Democrat and you know and like southern Democrat and exactly what that sounds like it means which is to say racist is the day as long his whole life you know but yeah but yeah was that like working class you know blue collar type of, you know, Democrat stuff that used to be a real big thing.

Right. Yeah, man. And then just like, it just, I mean, I don't know. Even my grandma and my mom, they just throughout their lives, just kind of clung to the like human rights aspect of the left. You know what I'm saying? So, I mean, especially my mom with like women's rights and things like that. So I don't know.

I think that going to college helped me a little bit. I didn't graduate from college. But I mean, going to college for music and everything like that. it kind of helps form some of those more leftist views that I have for sure. I got to see other people's perspective, you know, like from. And I went to UCM in Warrensburg, Missouri, and dropped out of there because all my buddies were making a bunch of money, working on the road. Weldon, so I dropped out and went to Weldon School and then started working on the road with them and did that for four years until I started writing my own songs and then it just took off from there. So you, I mean, you were already like a.

The big thing that a lot of people can't really handle when they get into any type of art form is like the travel aspect of it. Like you might like to do something, but going on the road's hard. But you were already on the road welding. So it was like, fuck it. Why not bring a guitar? Oh, exactly, dude. I mean, like there was nothing to do in hotel rooms after work anyways, unless you went to the bar and got all fucked up, which I did for a while. But I can't do this every night like y'all do.

Yeah. But you took your guitar to the bar and got fucked up. Yeah. I'm going to get paid. Get fucked up. God, damn. So I traded out of the fucking. bar beers for bush lights at the or 12 packs at the hotel room and just started writing

songs and then downloaded tic-tok and just started going crazy on social media and that's when i kind of got into doing social media and music full-time and i've been doing it full-time for five years six years now what is the um what is the sort of like timeline of that with your like social media following and and whatnot uh and music politics combinations of the two, when did that? Because I mean, I, for one, I think like a lot of people I said earlier, that, you know, the crash out video, as you called it. Yeah. Is the first thing that I'd seen, and that was like all over the place. That one like went to the moon. Yeah. But that was, you know, relatively recently. Obviously, it's about the bullshit with ice and everything. And

you've been at it full time for five or six years. So what was the sort of, you know, like I said, timeline of that? Yeah. So like, it was my, I released my first song and December of 2020 and that song like I had I had it out for like a week or something like that and I had posted a video of it getting played on my hometown radio station with my mom that's the first one I call yeah yeah and it went fucking nuts viral on the TikTok so that's when I was like all right fuck it I'm going to give this a shot and it started doing the independent artist thing for like four years and then I just signed my first label deal in April of last year but the uh crash out stuff. I mean, I think

like I started getting a lot more vocal on social media with like politics and things like that. I wish I'd have done it sooner. That's the only regret I have, but I started getting a little more vocal in January of last year because like I saw the inauguration. I saw the inauguration and shit and I was like

man, I should have fucking started speaking up before because I can't stand Donald Trump and I was like I was like I should and I kind of did like I was open about my political beliefs, but I didn't really talk about it all that much, and I didn't make a crash-out videos and stuff. And then I started writing songs about it. And I was like, well, this is who I am, so fuck it. And just started talking shit. And I made that crash-out

video, and it just went fucking stupid viral. So, I mean, I don't want to be like, I don't want to be like this protest artist, but dude, this is a fucking crazy time in American history. And I'm sorry, but humanity's begging for art right now. And, well, history will be told and they'll be told, through art and I want to be a part of that. So fuck it. That's protest music all 2026 for me. Yeah. I mean, dude, like people say that, you know, just stick to jokes or stick to your music or shut up and dribble or whatever. But it's like with art specifically, like literally any medium, like the best art reflects society and you're talking about current things and you're taking the temperature of the room or whatever. And like, yeah, okay, sometimes the temperature of the room is

that girl's in short shorts and I've got a beer in my truck. Right. Okay. But like, right. If you're writing something and you're an artist and how could you not be affected by everything you see on the news? Like it's going to bleed over if it matters to you even a little bit, you know? Yeah, it's like people are saying like, oh, you should keep politics out of your music or I liked you before you got political. And I'm like, brother, this ain't fucking politics no more. You just watch somebody get fucking mag dumped on it in the middle of the fucking street. Mm-hmm. And you're trying to tell me that this is fucking about politics.

Right. Yeah. And they're like, well, this is what pissed me. me off about other country artists. They'll be like, well, we don't have to use politics to sell our music like you do. Yes, the fuck you do. Right. Get on that stage at the fucking night and wave that fucking flag like it's going out of fucking style like you're some kind of fucking outlawed. You ain't shit. Oh, yeah, brother. Do you? You're about to get me fired the fuck up. I think you said here

earlier, are you still in your hometown? Are you in Nashville? He ain't moving by God. I've seen that motherfucker. Hell yeah. Staying true, son. I'm in Carroll County, fucking Missouri. I was raised here and God willing I'll fucking die here and I will be buried in this bitch too. Do you ever like go to Nashville? Do you have dealings with Nashville? I'm curious what your opinion is of the industry, the city,

everything, just everything about Nashville. I like Nash. I wouldn't want to live there because I don't think I could like, whether people want to say, you know, it's in the South or whatever,

I don't give a shit, it's still a city. And it's just really, you know, there's a lot of people around and shit like that. So I'd get, tired of that pretty quick. But yeah, I go down there and write songs all the time. I mean, like a lot of the songs were getting ready to put out. I wrote in Nash, and I'm getting ready

to go down there at the end of February to write, you know, five or six more and stuff and getting some of those rooms. And I think that's been incredible, dude. I think that's what was really cool about Nash is that there's so many different people there from so many different places, you know, writing and making art and making the best songs they can make. And people really do, especially in this kind of era, people really do care about the, you know, saying something through the art right now, you know. So I don't think it's like your typical, like, hit factory like it used to be type of thing. And I think Nashville is kind of having its sunset strip moment right now because so many different

people from so many different genres and stuff are moving there. Right. Which I think is really cool. But like I said, they've already, they do more rock. I think this is a couple years ago. Like they record more rock there than they do country. Isn't that true? Yeah.

I mean, rock music is like, I mean, it's been kind of on the decline for so long after like the 2010s and shit that now it's kind of becoming like the fastest growing genre again because so many people are moving into it. And like even myself, like this news, hold on. Is that a dog? Yeah. No, that's cool. Show them to us.

Creed, come here. Our fans will fucking love it. This is their favorite. They say Creed? Yeah. Crete box is hilarious. That's, yeah, full circle. Dumb high.

What up, dog? Look at that guy. Apollo, I get it. You know, but no, he, or the industry's cool and Nash is cool and everything. I just don't think I could live there. And like, there is a lot of, I think what I think is fucking hilarious, though, is that you'll see all these fucking country artists and be like, oh, I'm this fucking outlaw throwing beer cans and shit at these shows.

Like there's some kind of fucking, you know, patriotic fucking gun toting, all this, blah, blah. And every fucking last one of them, damn there, packed up all their shit and moved to a fucking city. right you know what i'm saying it's like you can say what you want to about me being a liberal but i never left my fucking hometown yeah jason aline went to somebody else's hometown to you know what i mean to film that fucking don't get me started even making he's from making georgia which is like not at all a small town yeah it's been a summer's out of dads which is in another big city in florida right i mean there's a fucking target in making georgia you know I got to drive 40 miles to get to a fucking Walmart.

Right. Right. Those dudes, like, I got to go 13. That's pretty good. You got me beat. I'm not used to that. As we went over earlier, I beat Trey in a wash. I want to ask about that, you know, the other artist thing, because you said two things that.

One, I don't think I've ever heard anyone like you say. You said the industry's rad, which is awesome to hear because I've been hearing different than that for years from some of my buddies. But then secondly, you're related to that. Yeah. You think they're changing. Yeah, hell, yeah. And I think that some of the artists that are like, like me kind of like in that left lane, they're getting bigger and they're getting more traction and shit.

So they're able to stay this shit louder than they ever had before. I mean, I think. You have more power too, right? Because you can also, you know that you obviously want to be in the industry, but you can make it individually now. And that used to not be an option, period. So they have to know, like, we don't have all the chips like we used to. Yeah, no, you got more leverage.

And that's on, like, even the label I'm signed to, they're not, and, they're not an actual base label. So like, that's often to hear. I wanted to ask you, we brought up other artists. Are you getting people reach out to you who are surprising from time to time? Like, are there people who are like, low-key, I agree with you, but you don't have to name their names. I'm not trying to call anyone out. I'm just curious.

Yeah. So, yeah. I was going to find, bro. All right. All right. I'll name their names. I was going to bring that up because I was going to say a lot of, of people don't know or it's like because i got um so i'm buddies now which is crazy with t bone burnett

the legendary music producer and he lives in nashville with his wife call he's also my friend and they tell me all the time right here through them that so many they know everybody right and all of music including country music and included in nashville and they talk all the time about all these country stars who they know for a fact are like you know lefties or whatever democrats and stuff and then but most of them, you know, can't say it or won't say it would never say because you know, imagine if they did. It'll torpedo them or whatever and it's like such a thing and so many people don't.

Now, I'm not saying that those are the same ones who then go out and fucking lean hard into waving the flag and, you know, going to sundown towns to shoot fucking music videos. They're not those either. They just like, they just shut up and dribble. They just play the songs and act like that.

Yes. No, you're right. You're right. Sorry, I'm laughing about, oh, fuck me. My nose is bleeding. Hold on. It was a Tray's Sundown Town joke made a motherfucker's nosebleed. You don't really get that a lot at comedy shows.

Sometimes, you know, we've had people like have some, I guess, medical situations, but they were also old, you know. That was like reverse get out. That was get in. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but that wasn't, that literally was a, I mean, I'm not saying present day sundown town, but like famously had been. Yeah, yeah, right? The first side of like lynchings and KKK stuff and all this shit. Yeah.

We went to a spot of an infamous lynching. Right. And I don't know if he can still hear us or not. You think he can? Thumbs up us if you can hear us, brother. No, he's dealing with all this. That's fine. Where are we?

We don't know. We ain't cut nothing. You know why? Because I got something very important to say off of all this. And it's about health and nutrition and food. I will tell you about this week's sponsor. Factor. You all know that I'm a big, big fan.

had been since the first box showed up on my porch many, many moons ago. I loved it immediately, but before I could do anything about it, my wife had already signed us up to be full-time subscribers to Factor because Factor just straight up hits for me, you know. And again, I'm a culinary guy. I like cooking stuff is my hobby. I love cooking. It's not about that, but it's about you don't have time to cook for every meal. That's an unreasonable expectation on yourself, but you still want to eat something that

tastes good and is not terrible for you. And that's been a difficult proposition. in recent years and for most of my life until Factor came into it. You know, we all want to eat better, but you ain't got the time or the energy to actually make that happen. Factor don't, you know, you don't have to meal prep on Sunday.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. But no, what I was saying, like, there is a lot of artists that are like a lot more left-leaning than you would think. And they come at you,

you know, with like the DMs and say like, hey, man, I can't really say it. but appreciate what you're saying and shit like that. Does that make you feel good? Does that make you annoyed? I was noticed in one of your videos this morning,

Benjamin Todd had liked it. And that's a guy who I watch him a lot. A lot of his views are pretty far right. And a lot of them are pretty far left. But I'm like, well, here's a guy who has a pretty shaped worldview and stands the fuck by it. And sometimes I can't help but get annoyed by people

who I agree more with, but they're privately, I'm agree. Like, how do you, I mean, do you get annoyed by that industry? You just let it go. Like, how do you feel about that? Yeah, I do. Like, with Benjamin, dude, like, we would disagree on quite a bit. But, like, we get along great because, like, with this shit, there's a clear fucking line here.

You know what I'm saying? Like, and we talk about that shit all the time. And he's like, I don't know how fucking people are on the right aren't watching it and being like, what the fuck. Yeah, because it's a big government. It's literally the opposite of conservatism. Exactly. And that's what he hates about it. And, you know, like I said, I think.

But here's the thing. Like, I think if me and Benjamin, like, had a, if we had a discussion about, you know, how to feed hungry children, he would think that it's better to feed them this way. And I would think it's better to feed them this way. But the end result would still be hungry kids get fed. Right. You know what I'm saying? And we can have. That's the disagreement that I can have.

I can't disagree with you if you think we should just let people die in the fucking street because they got the fucking papers on them. 100%. That's a great point. You know what I'm saying that I am less mad about, but I do find myself mad about too, is, and I also can't feed kids with you if you won't voice how we're going to feed these kids. You're not quite as bad as the ghoul, but goddamn say something. Yeah, it's kind of like that, I think about this all the time. It's like, you know, if it's not now, when are they going to say something?

Right. You know, because it's like, dude, you just watch somebody fucking. get murdered by the hands of the federal fucking government in the middle of the seat and that street and that doesn't make you want to say nothing? I mean, what the fuck is going to make you say something? You act like you don't have millions of fucking dollars in the fucking bank for a cushion. Right.

I know, I was thinking about this last night because, like, you know, we used to get DMs and still do of people being like, oh, we're so glad that you say what you, you know, believe and you stand up for what you believe in. Like,

we know it's hard to do this day and age with where you're from. And I'm sitting here like, and I've always disagreed with that, because I was never hard for me to say what was in my heart, because I'm a diva, you know. But I was like, right now, though, this feels like the easiest time ever to say, hey, this is fucking bullshit.

You know what I mean? Because I see a lot of people right now who are finally getting it. They're finally, of course, two white people got killed and they're finally getting it, and they're standing up and they're saying, you know what, no more of this. And I'm so glad that they're finally doing it. but it's also a little unnerving that, like,

they got to be on that team for five fucking years and then just jump ship at the last second and be like, we hate this guy. But, again, still, welcome aboard. But, like, right now I'm like, guys, if you want to be on the right side of history, this moment is the easiest time to do it because it's just so many people are seeing this

and finally realizing it. Just fucking, it's not that hard. Say, yeah. I think it's also the last time to do it. And to be honest, sometimes that frustrates me. I think it should have been a time or two ago. Of course. But I do think it might be the last time.

Yeah, that's what I mean. It's like you need to do it now. Yeah, I'm going to make that post, you know, at some point. Like, if you don't draw the line here, then you own it. Right. And I'll never fucking let you forget it. Right. You're doing it.

You're drawing a different one in a different place if you're not drawing it here for this. Yeah. So, I mean, that's kind of where I'm at with it. I do wish that fucking bigger artists would speak up. Because, I mean, like, here's the fucking. thing. I ain't got no fucking millions of dollars sitting in the bank. I live like a middle class American because, you know, I mean, I worked on the road making $2,000 $3,000 a week. I know what good money looks like. And I'm not saying I'm broke by any means,

but I ain't filthy rich neither. Right. You know, and I think, though, what like is always funny to me is that like, people will be like, well, you know, it's cool that you're like willing to sacrifice real dollars and fans. And I'm like, yeah, but it's dollars and fans that I haven't made yet. Right. So I already don't fucking have them. Right. Yeah. Also, some of those fans, I feel like you probably don't want them really. No. You think I want to go fucking playing these shows to people who think that fucking immigrants. People forget about quality of life versus so much money. It's like, I would rather take half the money and have a better experience with the people who like my shit than take double the money and have a bad time. We've had

musician friends who have told us stories about like accidentally kind of of courting that sort of thing without meaning to people that didn't get the joke or whatever. I think like Hayes Carl talking about. And Wheeler, Wheeler, obviously the biggest one. His whole fan base was that. And he's not that guy.

And he was like, these people don't get what the joke is. And he like had to stop touring everything because he just couldn't handle it. But like DBT, the drive by truckers early on, all the Confederate flags at their shows and stuff. And they were just like, what,

how is this happening? And, and, you know, and having to like go out of their way to be like, Like, no, fuck all that. Like, we'd, you know, rather have fewer people here than also have those people here. And, yeah, I can't, I certainly do it.

I can't, I can't go, dude, I can't play a show to fucking 200 people that think that way. Right. You know what I said, it's one thing if you fucking, you know, just have some disagreements here and there. But me and you can fucking be like, hey, you probably shouldn't be defending a state sanctioned murder. Mm-hmm. But it's another if you're like, well, if you would just comply. Right. Like, I can't go play a show to fucking four or five thousand people who think that you should just obey or die.

No, that feels dangerous. Yeah. That feels like a dangerous situation to be in. Yeah. So, I mean, I don't give a fuck. You know what I'm saying? That's what, like, before we put out the older, I get, the label was like, we just don't want to really alienate any people. And I'm like, okay, I get that.

But at the same time, like, who am I going to alienate people who already don't listen to my fucking music? It just blows my mind that there are some people who are like, who are like, I have all these beliefs. I really have them, but the main belief I have is that I want a really, really big house. So that belief kind of trumps all these other little beliefs. So that's what I believe. And most of them, it's not even the size of their house. It's the size of their fourth house. That's what I don't understand.

Like, I don't get not speaking up for your beliefs anyways, but like I know that I'm a minority on that and we all are. Like most people are just like, I just want to go to work and come home. And I get it. God bless you. But I don't know. When you have a net worth of like $200 million, what can someone do to you? Like to me, the dream of having $200 million. Exactly.

Like the dream of having $200 million is to be able to just go pull your dick out at Publix and it not matter. You know what I mean? Exactly. That's the whole thing. Like when people tell me they want to be an influencer, I'm like, okay, do you want to be an influencer or do you want to have influence? Right. Because there's a difference. Do you want to be a songwriter or do you want to write songs?

Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, because I mean, and just for me, fuck it, dude, I got to have something to fucking say. You know what I mean? Like, because they're just ain't a point. And like, dude, it's not that I think that like these party songs and shit have no space. They do. Obviously, when you want to go out and fucking party on a boat, like, they're just artists that you can fucking listen to.

I'm not that fucking up. We still do need to have escape. Like, escapism does need to be an option for a couple hours a day without question. Yeah. So exactly. And I don't think there's a, dude, I, the first song I put. out with the label was a song about how a girl did me dirty once. But I mean, and like I didn't, like I said, I wasn't on the fucking train of like, oh,

I need to be a protest artist. But dude, I'd hate to be that girl right now. Here's his complaints. The bullshit presidency, the Gestapo murder and me. And this bitch. Yeah. Trump, ice, and this bitch. Call it out.

There you good. I start my morning saying that. Hey, Brian, listen. I'm the only one on this podcast small enough to open for you. Let me open for you and we'll call it the Trump ICE and this bitch tour. I can meet a bitch. That's fine. I like it, man.

Yeah, well, there's a lot of overlap that I know that we relate to because it's not not just a musician period, but a country musician specifically. So like there's a huge and right and this never used to be the case for comedy, but obviously famously, very evidently right now in comedy, it's like the biggest comedians in the world right now are all like fascist right wing at least adjacent and that never used to be the case for comedy

country music the overlaps are super weird they're like pretending to be awshuck small town it's very odd and some of it's legit like I think Joe Rogan likes to hunt but it is very weird how like that

like do you know what I mean like our papas became cool in that weird way, it's very odd. Yeah. No, I agree, dude. It's, fuck. And, but what pisses me off about that shit is, like, you're starting to see the clips of people come out and be like, yeah, dude, this is fucked up.

And I'm like, it was a fucking open book test, dude. Right. You helped him get elected. He's doing what he said he was going to do. Right. Right. Right. I know.

So, I know. I just, I don't know. Shit like that. I can't fucking get behind that shit. And like, you know, like I said, I think if people want to draw the line here, as a white, straight white guy from a small town,

I'll take that burden for giving them and offering them grace because people of color and stuff like that shouldn't have to. But who are actually being affected by policies like, you know, rolling back the, and fucking immigration and stuff like that. They shouldn't have to fucking forgive you and stuff like that and have to have those conversations with you.

But I will. And so like when, if they want to draw the line here, I'll entertain that. But if you don't draw the line here, this is where it fucking ends for me and you. Right. Yeah.

Well, I think, I mean, I go back and forth on that a lot because I know Corey was saying there. There are, there are all these examples that you can point to. Corr anecdotally, Corey in his hometown with people he grew up with who always, you know, I was a huge racist. Two-time Trump voters or whatever. Who he put in our group chat the other day are now they're like, fuck all this ice shit. There's, you see examples and stuff that go viral like Drewson. This is his tweet of this guy.

that was like, I believe Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero. Derek Chauvin is innocent, and this was state-sanction murder or whatever. And I guess it's just because they killed white people or whatever. Of course it is. But either way, either way, I'm saying, there are like cracks showing.

Marjorie Taylor Green is making sense about this shit. No, she's been silent during all this, which means, which is good for her. Like normally she'd be at the front, and like, you know, she's not even been, I just saw a thing yesterday where she has been like saying

this is crazy and bad. And like, and then there was a GOP frontrunner candidate for governor of Minnesota that just dropped out because he was like, I can't be a part of this. So like shit is happening.

But there's still so many that are calling Alex Pretti a fucking domestic terrorist who deserved it or whatever. Like just aren't even close. to doing that. So I don't know if, I don't know if it's,

you also see all these articles about, oh, Trump's losing ground with all these groups that were with them, young guys and Latinos and all this shit, whatever, which like you said, every time I see that, I'm like,

if only you had some way of knowing that it would be like this. But anyway, you know what I've thought is funny? Do you think that it's going to, does any of that matter? Like, is that actually happening or is that like a fucking mirage?

Like, are the cracks forming? Are they, is the tide turning possibly? Or is it just, there's no hope? I think that there is, and I think it is because I think people who have historically like never voted before we'll get out to vote.

And like, I think that like even in my own groups, you know, like all my buddies are Republicans, you know, right, from my hometown. So like even in my own groups, when we have these conversations, I'm like, okay, you think that law enforcement should be able to do their jobs. but in the event that somebody is like at the scene and disarmed, do you really think they should be murdered? And they go, well, it is a little fucked up. Right.

I'm like, yeah, like you're not supposed to shoot guilty people either, though. And it's not getting any better for them when they find out everything about this dude, too. You know, exactly. He's so funny. He's unassailable, dude. He's like built in a lab to be like what their guy, you know. She's so funny him reading the Bible the other day? Yeah, everything about him, man.

It's so funny, like the opposite reactions you get. Like, when George Floyd died, their PR team went out of their way to dig up his past arrest records, any type of incriminate. See, this is the blah, blah, blah, blah. And then Alex Brady gets shot. And in order to make these people feel bad, we're like, look, here's him praying over a dead soldier. You know what I mean?

Like, I thought that was your boy, you know. But then they just, but it doesn't matter. It never mattered. Like with George Floyd, they found stuff. They found stuff. are like, I was a drug addict anyway, it's like,

okay, so he deserved to be executed. Exactly. No due process. That's insane. And the cop didn't know he was a drug addict when he fucking killed him.

He didn't know any of that shit. So it was always stupid. But with Prudy, they don't even have any of that. So they just go to like, well, clearly he's some kind of leftist agitator or whatever. Or he wouldn't have been there.

And it's like, no, he's a good dude. Yeah. That's why he was there because this is fucked up and he's a good person who doesn't like fucked up shit.

Dude, his last. Last words were, are you okay? Are you okay? As he protected a woman, he's completely unassailable, but, and y'all have touched on this, but it's important to bring up, I think, over and over again. They found a picture of, I think, a trans woman, maybe a non-binary person who has a beard who looks similar to Alex in full, like, festival gear, rainbowed out, and they were like,

look, and what they're saying there, and it wasn't Alex, but what they're saying there is, It's fine. People who go to festivals and wear dresses. Right. What's up? My name's Drew. Deserve to be murdered. Right.

Yeah. It's not a good look. It's incredible. It's so untenable as a human being to stand on that ground. Right. But I feel like sometimes we keep giving away the argument where we're like, no, this isn't. Who cares? Yes.

You can't chew people you don't like. Right. Yes. And that's the thing, dude. It's like all those things, like, you know, know, like trying to make him look like a drag queen, or Renee Good, the false AI fucking criminal reports of her putting cigarettes out on her kid, or George Floyd being a drug addict, all those things go viral because they have to go viral because they believe them. And they believe

them because they have to believe it to be able to fucking just to rationalize it. That those people deserve to fucking die. Right. Right. The next time somebody gets shot, they better just be like, oh, actually, you know, he was the CEO of a health care company. And then we'll be like, Oh, all right. Never mind. Nobody would say a fucking word. But that's where like, I don't know, shit like that, I'm not seeing like the MAGA hats as much as I used to in my hometown.

I'm not seeing the signs. People started taking down their fucking signs and shit like that. And I think for a lot of people, that was over like the Epstein shit because this is clearly the fucking biggest cover-up we've ever fucking seen. Yeah. The bad thing with that, sometimes I think, sorry for having a tinful hat on you, Brian,

but I would love to hear your response. to this. Sometimes I think some of this violence is a response to that. They are losing their grip. Epstein is probably the main reason why. And I do think if you look at Project 2025, if you read Curtis Yarven and Peter Thiel, I do think there is a faction. I don't think it's everyone.

I do think there's a pretty large faction over the Trump administration that's like no, that's fine. We're just going to do it by force. Yes. Yes, exactly. I think that they know they're losing ground. So they're like, fuck it, dude, we got to cram it all into this year because they know the midterms are coming up and listen if they keep fucking doing shit like this

the Democrats will take back the House and the Senate and they'll impeach that motherfucker if the elections are fair exactly what Drew said I always I just always go but it just feels like it's just trending further and further that direction of I think there will elections will happen will they be like at all legitimate

or whatever I'll fucking know will it be I don't know if they will be either dude and I'm the only thing in my mind that's keeping them from like doing Insurrection Act and and staying right now, fuck it,

we're in charge and we're in charge forever, is they can't hardly get Trump on board because, A, he knows he's only got two terms. And B, even if they're pitching him a third turn, he's going, dude,

I'm out. I'm old, I've made billions of dollars. Like, he is the demigod. I mean, he carried them. And he don't want some of the stuff they want,

not because he's like a good guy or loves America, but he's like, listen, I don't want to run this fucking country anymore. I made it worse. I want to put you're right. Exactly. Yeah, but also like in the world where, and I think you're right, I do think the Democrats are going to take back the House and the Senate or whatever. But like also, that doesn't really fill me with too much hope because of how every time that happens, they go, well, you know, sure, we could prosecute the latest regime. However, it would ruffle a lot of feathers. You can go back to all of it. And by the way, one of the greatest presidents of all time, Abraham Lincoln, he propositioned this to his cabinet about the civil war. So I'm not,

I'm not even talking about just feckless Democrats here. I'm talking about the guy who's considered the greatest president of all time. They always do that. They're like, well, let's just let bygones be bygones. Because if we don't, then there might be more violence. And it's like, you've got to cut the snake's head off at all ends. Because like, sure, there might be a little now. You don't, you don't do it.

And then there's violence later. So just do it now. And if people get upset about it, and then fucking they do. And what do you just fucking do something? I agree. I think there's got to be fucking trials. Like, like, you're on being. fucking 30 days late on

fucking releasing those files prosecute. Yeah. You know? Yeah, no, 100%. Yeah, Corey, I agree. Yeah. They do take it back

and impeaching whatever is one thing. But like you said, like no. Yeah, Nuremberg trial. Like, fucking retribution in front of the world. Show the world. That like. Overcorrect. Go hard.

Dark thought this morning. This is for, for me, it's half inside joke, Brian. But if they do, if we do Nuremberg here, it's just like they're going to let regular ass

prosecutors be the prosecutors and that breaks my fucking money. We should have a reality show for America's next top lawyer to see who gets to do it. Who gets to be the prosecutor? Because it's not fair to have Trump post. Yes. He's great at that. And then we'll go like, see if we just

let him keep doing this. He's awesome at it. He's... I'm telling you he's miserable. There's no time to fuck kids when you're the president. He's pissed off right now. No, you can't. You can't. No, it's crazy. crazy though. I agree. It's fucking got to, these people, this administration

has to be held accountable. I mean, Christy Noem. Like, that's what somebody said. I saw somebody on X today, they were like, it's some Maga Hat, but they were trying to make the case that like Obama and No, or, not Obama, Trump and Noam didn't know that

somebody was going to fucking take away Greg Bevino's title and, you know, make, demote him or whatever. And I'm like, so you're saying that the president and the head of the Department of Homeland Security don't know what fucking personnel changes are going on. And I believe that.

Like that doesn't make you guys with any fucking right. I'm about say, I don't, I have no trouble believing that Trump has no fucking clue what's happened. It's like he fucking, he just watches Fox and friends or whatever and just goes with that. I mean, there's been times where it's like people, like

it's such a self-revolving door. Like he watches Fox to see what's going on and then he says it and then Fox reports it and then he says it. and then Fox reports it. He gets the spin from TV and doesn't even see it. And then like actually sees the footage or whatever and is like, oh, damn, that's kind of fucked up. But he don't,

he don't know all. And that's the larger problem with so many people too is it's like, they do not live in the same reality as everyone else. They don't. Like you always want like, how can people possibly think this or see it this way or whatever? It's presented completely differently to that. Like, it's just totally fucking different.

and that's you know and I don't know what you're supposed to do about any of that you know how you like penetrate that then I think for a lot of these people a certain percentage it's just never going to happen yeah I mean you're going to have those that base of people that's like fuck it dude I don't give a fuck you know like they're into the whole maga cult and they don't they truly don't give a fuck they want to see other people's pain yeah I mean they truly don't have there's a large portion of people who don't have developed empathy centers in their brain. And I'm not saying that as a joke. That is true.

And you'll never believe where they end up voting. There's a chunk of them that outwardly talk about how empathy is bad. Yeah. Empathy is the worst part of humanity. Like they think that. They say that. Del Carnegie never brought it up in that book. So it's not good.

Yeah. And that's kind of my thing, dude. Like when people are like even around my hometown shit when they come up to me and they're like, dude, can you really not fucking see what you're doing? and I'm like, you know, man, never one fucking time has standing on the side of humanity been the bad guys. Never. Right. So, yeah, I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing.

Have you seen what you're doing? Yeah. And I, and dude, I hope, I hope they all have, there's records. Like, it does piss. I know it should. You know, it, the best we can hope for is people in the administration being held responsible. I'm telling you right now in our little hometowns, this. will get pushed away, shamed into the whispers, and then at worst case scenario, comes back up in 30, 35 years.

30 years now. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. That's 100% what's going to happen. And obviously, it's like, okay, we'll just don't let it bother you so long as the movement's dead. But it's like, I feel like Brad Pitt. I was just the same thing. You got to get it carved in your head because you can burn the uniform.

You can burn the fucking uniform. And like, dude, when you look at all, like, you look at Watergate, right? You look at Iran-Contra and you look at all these things that have happened. Like, Watergate specifically, don't get me wrong. When Roger Stone took over for Trump, Nixon made a comeback. But when I was younger, you wouldn't find nobody that was like, I was a huge Nixon supporter. They just pretend like that didn't happen. You know what I mean?

And it's like, they're going to do the same thing. Absolutely. Oh, no, we were real apolitical. And I'm like, oh, fuck you, man. So I'm looking at all on video. By the way, on TikTok. This is all best case scenario, because this is a, all assuming that we do win. But I agree with you. If good prevails, this will absolutely be one of

those things that no one, you know, for so many years in Germany after the war, no one was ever a Nazi or whatever. Of course not. It's like you said, literally from Inglorious Bastards, it's the same deal where if we win, it will be one of those things where all of a sudden no one was ever on board with this shit. But it's like, but the North remembers motherfucker. Absolutely. Like, people, I just hope that it sticks. And again, I'm not saying, I'm not saying, I'll never But like, you don't get to be happy in a bar the same as me. Like, people have to know, like Scarlet Letter or something. Brian, when you're doing arenas after this, after the good guys win,

and then you and your talent get elevated to where it does, you should do a song called I'll never forget. And it'll be like 9-11, Alan Jackson, but it'll be about how, like, fuck Trumpers. Like, instead of, do you remember when they got bin Laden? Oh, that's actually a good idea. That's a good idea. do bring up 9-11 a lot, please, in that song.

Give Drew a special thanks in the album line. Call it 9-11-2. Electric Book of Drew. I've got that idea, bro. Like the part of five, but with 9-11. Just name all your albums 9-11, 9-11 2, 9-11 3. Still all my ideas, and then I'm going to start making jokes with the same title as your songs. I've always wanted to do that.

Yeah. Just like look at their track on the CD and be like, I'll do a joke that could have that title. it'd be funny. Yeah. Yeah, no, I just, I do think that like, I don't know, man, like, it's, it's hard for me to want to fucking, because like, I think about it too, you know, like, all these people that I know from my hometown and everything, like, that I know voted for them and shit. Like, I know I've seen them be good people, right? And like, it's, especially when I was going through hard times, you know, that's why I love my hometown and I'll never leave it because when I was going through my shit, everybody in this town, I mean, you have.

had people talking shit, but everybody that I knew and loved in this town wanted to support me and wanted to see me succeed and stuff like that. And so I've seen them be good people and it's hard for me to like, it's hard, it's just hard for me to see what I'm seeing now. You know, like, it's like, dude, you guys fucking raised me and, and shape me into the person and the man than I am today. And I'm damn proud of it. And I'm seeing you fucking do this, like support this. Support this. Support this level of fucking inhumanity. That's not who you are. That's not who we are in these small towns, dude. Like, yeah.

It's not our fucking character. And I'll never, I'll never forgive Trump for the fucking mentality he's given the people that I love. So. Yeah. I know. And I know you know, because we all know, there is also this weird disconnect. Because I'm sure a lot of those people you're talking about, like, if you're just eating dinner with them, hanging out with them, whatever, they're like awesome. You know, like they're great.

And it doesn't say, and then add these abhorrent beliefs. And as long as they don't ever come up, you're like, I love these people. You know, and it is, it is complicated. Like I said, I've told the story a million times, but like when my dad died, my dad was this fucking long-haired dope smoking hippie type dude that was very left of center and off kilter in that in that town especially. But when he died, like, everybody in the town, like, pitched in and paid for the funeral and shit without saying a word to me, you know, because I had two babies at the time

and they knew it was all on me or whatever. And so they just paid for it. and no one ever even mentioned it. I found that after it was over. And so, like, I think about shit like that. It's like, I just don't, it's weird that so many of those people are the same people that are on board with, you know, state murder and shit right now. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, dude, I can't, it's, it's hard for me to wrap my head around.

But like I said, at some point, you just have to fucking let it go, I guess. Because, I mean, he can't, I don't, I don't know the fucking road to. I don't know the road to reconciliation with some people. You know? So I don't know. Like I said, I chose my side a long fucking time ago. History is going to have a long fucking red line down the middle of it.

And about the time everybody picks a fucking side because it's a city ain't politics no more. So if they want to be on that side, that's on them and ain't on me. Amen, brother. Damn, dude. I mean, what a bar, first of all. And I just realized that when we cut this up and put that out,

it's going to go viral and you're going to have that fucking thing in your nose. And that is cracking me. That'll help it. There's going to be so many different theories. Like, look at this dude fucking doing Coke talking about. Yeah. Yeah. No,

it's because it's fucking negative 20 degrees in fucking Missouri the whole last fucking week. And I can't. I bet he let a black guy punch him in the face before he fucked his wife. People, yeah. Or they'll think that he put that there for like engagement bait or something. Exactly. like that type of thing like oh man you know what it was though like when I've really because I do you guys remember the Michael Brown stuff yeah of course yeah so that was in Missouri and I

remember being are you close to that right Ferguson like it's yeah it's about two and a half hours for me yeah but anyways I uh I remember that and I remember being in high school at the time and like, like, you know, everybody from where I was from was like, you know, like, oh, well, if you, you know, if you don't fucking try to kill law enforcement, then you don't end up dead. And I'm like, well, yeah, obviously, like, if you don't fucking, and I remember thinking about that stuff and I went to college and I remember I was talking about it with one of my friends. And they were like, yeah, but dude, like, he didn't even have a gun on him. And they were like, you know, I remember thinking people would say, well, yeah, but he was,

he had just robbed a sore. And they were like, well, you're not supposed to kill guilty people. people either. Right. Right. Like, robbing the story isn't a capital, like isn't a first degree murder charge. You know what I mean? Exactly. And so when I thought of it that way, I was like, damn, you know, and like I, it's like, that's what I was tell people all the time. It's like, dude, there's definitely like things that I was racist about without even knowing that I was racist back when I was 16, 17 years old. And it's like you come, you meet different people from different perspectives and stuff like that when you travel around a lot or when you go to college or when you go to college or,

whatever and that's what helped me like seeing their perspective you know i was talking to one of my buddies one time when i was in college and he was like i was like you know i don't see color or anything like that and he was like that's the problem though right like i need you to see that i might have a different experience than you do based solely on my skin color right and i was like fuck you know because i'd never thought of it that way when i was a kid well yeah i mean that's the thing with what institutional and systemic racism is that like you don't it doesn't doesn't look like racism because it just looks like the rulebook that you've just followed your whole life. I mean, yeah, I do. I still have them to this day sometimes. I'm like, oh,

right. I feel that way because it was set up by our government to make it seem that way so that we would all act this way, but like they can read. You know what I mean? Exactly. And that's where that's where, that's where, holy fuck, that's where for me, it's like, I have to fucking, like, with the whole ice raids and everything, like when I started seeing the data come out, that like 75% of the people that they're targeting don't even have a criminal record. I'm like, but he's getting on and telling these people that they're fucking trash.

Like whole fucking communities of people calling them trash and garbage and shit like that in front of the whole fucking world. And I was like, I've never seen him say that about Irish immigrants or Norwegian immigrants. And those are the fucking worst. Italians, Irish, like they don't ever say anything about them. and those are the most annoying motherfuckers on the planet.

Get it out, Corey. Get the poison out where you're allowed. I'm kidding. I love the Irish. If that's, if it wasn't about color, then that wouldn't be true. Right. You know, like, I've just seen the estimates that there's like approximately 130,000 undocumented immigrants in the state of Minnesota, and there's 2.1 million approximately in Texas, but they ain't going around fucking up Texas like this.

No. You know, why? Because fucking old boy Abbott just fucking gerrymanded those maps for Trump. right yep that's the number one reason the number two is they'd all be dead plus it's them i mean hell half these ice seasons have fucking accents which we'll get into that never because i don't have the balls to right now but um they have to the trump like fans the people who are still hanging on to maga a lot of them have to believe him when he says that yeah to make that mash with their own view of their self and their own view of what their own worldview is

and that's the hardest part sometimes for me to forgive because you know you can have empathy for anyone. And in empathizing with people who are still desperate to hang on to them, what I see from my own life is like how hard it was for me to admit people in my life were wrong about stuff, people who are my hero, parents, grandparents. But it's fucked up to put Trump or any stranger or any politician in that place in your life. Like it's understandable to me when someone's having a hard time admitting that their dad's a little fucked up. But if it's like wrecking your world you to admit. Tell me I'm out.

Yeah. You're fucked up. Yeah. No, I agree. It's like, sorry, I cut out. That's all right.

We got what you're saying. Like, yeah, I totally feel you. Like, this guy shouldn't mean that much to you. Like, no,

no fucking person that you don't know should mean that much to you. Yeah, especially, they always say like, what are you all going to do if Bill Clinton's on the list? Same as I'm doing now.

Walking the fuck up. Yeah. Shoot him. Yeah. I don't give a fuck. My God, dude. And that's what, that's,

That is crazy, man. But for me, it's like, it's hard for me to understand how they can't put themselves in someone else's shoes. Like, when I think of immigrants and stuff like that, I'm like, okay, y'all are like, well, they should have came here legally. To be honest with you, if I was born in a country with extreme poverty and stuff like that and grew up and had kids in that area and knew how rough it was with cartels or whatever the fuck it is around you, I would do absolutely. anything it took to give my kids a better life. Not to mention, brother, they're arresting the ones who did it right. They're arresting people at their court dates that they're showing up to

fucking voluntarily. They're shooting white people who've lived here forever. Right. They're fucking, they're going, they're like, well, we're targeting fucking all illegal people, illegal immigrants and stuff like that. It's like, dude, you motherfuckers are literally going out of your way to cancel temporary protective status of certain communities. You're going to, out of your way to cancel visas, work visas, fucking anything.

And then going after those people. They're currently trying to come here the right ways through asylum or whatever the fuck it is. And you're fucking hindering that. And that's why I tell people all the time. I'm like, okay, they spent what, $78 billion on ice in the big beautiful bill or whatever, allocated that much money towards ICE. You don't think they could have fucking allocated that money towards fixing the immigration

process hiring more judges to process people faster? Like why the fuck should it have to cost 20 years or 150,000 or 150,000 to become a citizen of the United States of America? Isn't this the land of free, the land of opportunity? While they're doing all that, they then post a video on Twitter of them like welcoming with open arms, all these like white South Africans

who like totally are into apartheid or whatever. And they're like, this is what America is all about. immigration, you know, wild fucking shipping five-year-old Mexican kids off on their own and all this stuff and act like it isn't racially based. They said that, that fucking guy, that Jake Lang that went into that

fucking protest the other day in Minnesota, they're like, and I don't fucking feel bad for saying this at all. People are going to think I'm crazy for this, but they're, like, I've seen a bunch of people like, oh, they're fucking, the leftist mob is, or tried to kill fucking Jake Lang. I've just watched a video two days ago that Jake Lang

himself posted doing the fucking Nazi salute and then calling people the N-word. Toofer. You think I fucking feel bad? Fuck not. Also, no one tried to kill him. Yeah. They literally dragged him out of there. Calling people to N-Ward.

A black man dragged him out of there and a fucking hell. Yes. Called people to N-word two days before on a YouTube video. And then the people, one of the guys who fucking saved him was a young black man. I think that some of these people are just jealous because they can't even make it out of their hometown, let alone Somalia. You know what I mean? Like, they can't even, yeah, like, they're just, like,

they're just jealous that somebody had that gumption. And what they, what they say, 95 or 96% of the Somalian community in Minnesota is here legally? I'm sure. Yeah. So, like, dude, and that's what pisses me off about this whole fucking fraud thing. Like, have you guys heard anything about arrests or anything like that since they sent in all those fucking federal agents to attack fraud? And YouTubers.

Nope. Yeah, exactly. So you're fucking, you're fucking guys, A1 journalist here is fucking spiked to this whole fucking thing and sent a whole bunch of federal agents down there down there to go investigate fraud. And you're telling me not one fucking arrest was made. Well, also, even if hypothetically there is that amount of fraud going on, they are still like openly pretty much just going. A couple Somalians have a fraudulent daycare. Therefore, get all the Somalians out of here. All of them.

It's like, don't see color. Like it's not, it's a Somalian man. You want to get every man out of here? You just probably have shown the Somalian part. They went there for that. And then also they said that there was some high level like Trindey, Aragwa, Kingpin guy that was in Minneapolis. They said, and he gave a name and a profile and all this.

Mark, our buddy Smart Mark, who kind of was my political podcast. I mean, of course, did some digging as he was want to do. And they can't find any proof of that guy's existence or even like that he's anywhere. And but, and my thing, and I said when he went over all that, I was like, okay, but even if he was real and if he was the fucking Mexican gang joker and he was in Minneapolis, it wouldn't be worth all fucking this. Like there were better ways to go about doing that than fucking this. So I don't even care.

Like even if that was a real guy, it wouldn't justify fucking any of this shit. Go get him. You're saying, like you do, you motherfuckers just sending a whole fucking Navy SEAL team. to go capture a world fucking leader. You're telling me it takes this kind of level of fuckery to go handle fucking one guy in Minnesota? You guys are fucking crazy if you want me to fucking believe that. You see like two sides.

They always have those two competing sides to the cognitive dissonance where somebody will go, you know, the thing about, I don't care, it's not racist just to point out that Somalian's brains are technically smaller and they don't have a good IQ. But then five seconds later, they'll go, they've got a mastermind network of fraudulent daycare in America.

It's like, bro, are they pinky or the brain? You know what I mean? Are these fucking masterminds or are they idiots? Well, they do that with everything. Same thing. Sleepy Joe Biden was running the global cabal. Fucking every leftist is a weak-willed ineffectual soy boy pussy who's also an Antifa Super Commando.

Like, fucking, they love that shit. They do that all the time. They're fucking all over it. But I mean, it's just, it is fucking crazy. And that's why, like, especially, I think what you guys are doing and, like, I think speaking up in country music is something that, you know, we need to do. Because, like, these are the communities of people that support him and his administration. And I think when we say these things and it looks like, or it comes from people who look like us and say the things we say, then they've stopped and they're like, wait, what the fuck? What he's from where I'm from?

Why the fuck is he saying that? Right. You know what I'm saying? So I think that, you know, it is, there is something to be said about, like, people who look like us carrying our weight in the spaces we're in. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, obviously it can, like, I'm sure a lot of people can be like, oh, yeah, well, is that all you're doing is speaking out.

And it seems self-aggrandizing or whatever. But, like, I've always said, like, it will, if I don't do anything, that's worse. So I'll err on the side of looking like a blowhard, you know what I mean? Like. Also, dude, we got to. a signal than virtues. Virtue signaling cannot replace actually doing shit. Of course. But we do need to do it. Of course. We absolutely need to let people know who and where we are and where we stand. Otherwise, I mean, it's just like it's a stat that gets a little overused, but it's true,

I think. The Nazi party represented like 10% of Germans who were alive at the time. It was that 88% were quiet or did nothing. What you landed on that number? I kind of liked it and didn't care. And now, for the record, I think some of that 80% Doug what was going on. They just didn't have the balls to say that. But that's sort of my point. It's that great Roy Wood Jr. joke. I want them to have the rebel flag at the grocery store. So I know not to buy gas there. I think that we got to let people know where we stand. Yeah, for sure, man. For sure. Amen. Well, look, I think we've, this has been great. I can talk we could do this all day, buddy. Thanks for coming on. But I think we'll wrap her up now, Brian,

if you want to tell everybody, you know, plug your stuff, whatever. Yeah. Yeah, you can find me. Yeah, you can find me at Brian Andrews music anywhere on socials. And then, dude, this fucking thing in my nose. I had to blow it up. I had to blow it up. Yeah, but no, you can find me anywhere on my socials at Brian Andrews music or just search my name on Spotify or Apple Music, wherever you listen to music.

Brian Andrews got tons of songs out, 2026, all protest music come from me. Hell yeah. Well, listen, but you got a standing invitation as far as I'm concerned.
