Hey, everybody, it's Friday, March 13th, 2026. I'm Alison Gill.

And I'm Dana Goldberg, and you're watching Beans Talk.

Hey, Dana, welcome back.

Thank you for covering me yesterday on Solo. The show in Nashville, Tennessee, at Zanis, was so much fun.

There was so many beans people in the audience. Some of them came from Chicago. Some of them came from Oklahoma. Some of them came from Memphis, Tennessee, to Nashville, and it was a great room of community. There was two Trump supporters, but I think maybe I changed some minds and hearts because they didn't get up and leave. And the first 15 minutes in my show is sort of brutal when it comes to politics. And I go really hard against this administration. So it was just a really wonderful night. So thank you to everyone who came. Next two shows are in May, live comedy shows, I should say. We've got Dallas on Mother's Day. And then the following weekend I'll be in Rochester, New York. So check Dana Goldberg.com for those shows. Tickets are still available, and I'd love to see you. How did that come to light? Did you ask in the beginning if there were any... I asked if anyone voted for Trump, yes. And I didn't think anyone said yes. Apparently, there was just a little bit of a like a hand raise. And what's really interesting is, and I want people to hear this, it's two friends of mine were there and they're both

country music stars. One of them happens to be a man named Ty Herndon. And what was interesting is that

people were watching that table. I introduced Ty and I talked about his memoir, because he's got a new

memoir out. And then I brought him on stage to sing my little redo of, we know he knew you, my Hallelujah cover.

And that table, something changed in their minds of, I'm a fan of Ty Herndon.

Maybe everything isn't as bad and these people aren't as bad as like it was really interesting

oh wow that is pretty because my first thought was why would trump supporters buy tickets to a

dana goldberg show right they just wanted to go to it wasn't too dame they just wanted they'd never

heard of me they just went to zanies because they wanted to go to a comedy show that night. I guess they didn't care who was headlining.

That happens a lot often. Like before I was, you know, doing any podcasting and I was doing comedy, it's usually split. I mean, depending on where you're at, you know, it's usually split down the middle. And in some more red states, you'll get more Republicans and in some

more blue areas, you'll get more Democrats. But there's, it's usually not like 99% to like two

people as it is now, like when we go on tour with the Daily Beans or when you do your show. So it's

always just very interesting. And oftentimes really educational when somebody from the other side shows up for

what I really love, catch some comedy.

What I really loved, and you'll know this from your days of performing, the staff came

up to me and said, thank you for an amazing night.

And one of the staff members said that's one of the best nights I've ever had at work here.

And both of the people,

...
