Summary

In the debut episode of the Public Figures Podcast, Brian shares the story of having to move in with the Bargatze's after losing power and the guys preview the upcoming Nateland At Sea cruise. Then Brian, Aaron, and Dusty discuss what it means to be a public figure, people who didn't ask to become public figures, and people who became public figures after their death. They wrap it up by putting together their Mt. Rushmore of public figures.
