  • You're Not Canceled.... You're Just Poor!
    May 3 2026

    Cancel culture is everywhere… but is anyone actually getting canceled? If you have money you aren’t. Brian and Randy are back, joined by regular contributor Grant, and nothing is off limits. From celebrities getting “canceled” one week and trending the next, to the reality that the rich and powerful seem completely untouchable — we’re breaking down what cancel culture really is, and whether it’s all just noise. We dive into: • Why some celebrities get destroyed while others walk away untouched • The truth about healthcare reform and who actually benefits • Whether the “cancel mob” has any real credibility left • Why money might be the ultimate immunity from cancellation • The fallout from the 2024 election and what Kamala Harris losing means moving forward Is cancel culture accountability… or just outrage addiction with a short attention span? This episode gets dark, honest, and a little uncomfortable — exactly how we like it. Drop your thoughts in the comments… who actually got canceled for real?

  • Episode 9: Has Trump Broke Both Sides? TDS vs TWS
    Apr 27 2026

    When a Republican host sits down with his Liberal friends, add in some drinks away from the echo chambers, real conversations happen. Episode 9 — Has Trump Broke Both Sides? | TDS vs. TWS Is Trump breaking the left… and the right? This week on Drinking With My Liberal Friends, contributor Dave is back in studio as we dive into Trump Derangement Syndrome vs Trump Worship Syndrome — when criticism becomes obsession, and loyalty becomes blind devotion. We talk about the millions in the middle who just want competence and stability… while the loudest voices on both sides seem addicted to outrage. Has politics become performance art? Has Trump become a mirror exposing something broken in all of us? We also go off on short attention spans, phone addiction, doom scrolling, the Epstein files, January 6th, and whether we’ve become too distracted to tell propaganda from truth. Dark humor, uncomfortable questions, and plenty of whiskey-fueled chaos. Are both sides deranged… just in different ways? Pour a drink and jump in.

  • Episode 8: Freedom of Speech Does Still Exist
    Apr 19 2026

    Brian and Randy are back—no guest, no filter, just two guys connecting dots you’re probably not supposed to connect. We kick things off with a bizarre reality check: why does ICE operating inside airports seem like they run smoother now, and how much of that is perception vs. policy? Then we jump straight into the political firestorm around voter ID laws and the SAVE Act—is it common sense election security or a solution looking for a problem? And just when you think it couldn’t get weirder, we break down how rapper Afroman turned a police raid into music videos… and won a First Amendment case because of it. Yeah, really. It’s chaotic, it’s funny, and it’s one of those episodes where you’ll either be nodding along or yelling at your screen. Grab a drink—this one goes off the rails fast.

  • Iran War Ceasefire.... Or Is It Just A Time Out?
    Apr 13 2026

    When a Republican sits down with his Liberal friends for political conversation, the outcome is surprising. This week on Drinking With My Liberal Friends, Randy and Brian sits down with Dave to break down a week that feels like a deleted scene from reality. War with Iran heating up, gas flirting with $6 a gallon, and the U.S. pulling off a real-life Top Gun rescue of a downed pilot. Oh—and casually sending people around the moon again like it’s no big deal. Geopolitics, chaos, and overpriced gas… all while we’re just trying to enjoy a drink. Grab a beer and buckle up—this one goes off the rails fast.

  • Episode 6: Brisket, Bourbon & Bureaucrats
    Apr 3 2026

    Randy and Brian sit down with a Kansas City chef Taylor Jones to break down everything from perfectly smoked brisket to the not-so-tasty side of politics and rising costs. This episode goes way beyond BBQ—diving into tariffs, inflation, and whether government decisions are quietly messing with what ends up on your plate. We also get into what actually makes great BBQ, why good help is harder to find than ever, and a wild hypothetical: what would it look like if Trump opened a restaurant in the Midwest?

  • Episode 4: Dark Money Donors
    Mar 24 2026

    Randy and Brian sit down with their guest Dave who has been a lifelong moderate and cover whose votes actually matter. Everyone screams about voting… but barely anyone shows up when it actually matters. In this episode, we tear into primary elections—where elections are really decided—and why low turnout lets the loudest, most extreme voices take control. Then we follow the money trail: Super PACs. Dark money. Backroom influence. Who’s funding your candidates—and what are they getting in return? If you think your vote decides elections… you might want to hear this first. Pour a drink. Let’s get into it.

    Why a Republican host and Democratic guest can still sit down, drink, and have an honest conversation
