As one of those that fits the label of redneck, I thank God for trae and his friends. It's awesome having someone represent the south without the hate. There are more of us blue dots in red states than most people think but still nowhere near enough. Lot of dumb and angry in my neck of the woods but Trae, Cho and Drew gives me hope.

This was really one of the best interviews. I wish Al had asked him about JD Vance- who pretends to explain people from Appalachia- but this guy is the real deal. I also laughed at some of Trae's references -like "cow college" as someone originally from a red, rural area.

Winnable seats ignored by the DNC. Volunteer to help with that campaign. You'll feel less isolated while helping to push Mississippi towards blue.

Alright! My favorite comedian!!!

When people say that "the market will adapt to AI", and create new jobs, I really want them to visit towns like the one Trae Crowder grew up in. Because it sounds as if people there have been waiting for that "market correction" for a good long while.

I live in small town Appalachia, not far from a lot of the places Trae is talking about. There's a great book by KY author Robert Gipe called Trampoline (fiction, illustrated) that dives into the struggle of the opioid crisis in the 90's, as well as other regional issues. I highly recommend it. Thanks for this interview, Al. I love ya both.

Holy shit! From one Tennessee boy to another, you finally made it Trae!! Yehaw

@@SejalofManhattan I don't watch MAGA propaganda. So why am I seeing lots of Trump ads?

The story of so many small towns across America.

Listening to this in podcast form. What really shocks me about Trumpism is all these people who I thought were radicalized years/decades ago by talk radio - a lot of them actually weren't, and were taken in by Trump's lies and false promises, and to this day still believe he's their only chance out of having rotten lives. (Or at least he'll make everybody else's lives just as rotten). He makes the point that a lot of these working class types actually voted for Al Gore and are now full-on Trumpists. It's so very sad, because we'd have been so much better off if we'd had Gore, then maybe Obama, Hillary, Biden. Instead we had the costliest presidency in American history under Dubya, and later the most destructive, under Trump, and if he gets another, that will truly, I believe, be the end of American democracy.
