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.

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.

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?
