+++

Join Andy Frasco and Nick Gerlach for a raw conversation with Trae Crowder, the viral "Liberal Redneck" comedian, as he breaks down how his small Tennessee hometown went from blue to MAGA, why the opioid crisis devastated rural America, and how he uses comedy to challenge southern stereotypes. Trae gets real about growing up in a town with no traffic lights, losing his dad early, and becoming the political outcast who still loves his roots.

From bombing at corporate gigs to crushing it at Comedy Works Denver, Trae shares hilarious stories about the comedy grind, dealing with death threats, and why people assume he's a Trumper based on his accent. Plus, he explains the difference between southern fakeness and LA fakeness, and why he's done trying to change MAGA minds—he'd rather change how coastal liberals see the South.
