Summary

DeWayne “Crews Control” went from stay-at-home dad to viral conservative voice almost overnight—thanks to an unexpected boost from Elon Musk. In this episode of the Chicks on the Right podcast, Daisy and Mock sit down with the man behind the camera to talk about his rise to online fame, his Gen X-meets-millennial worldview, and why common sense keeps getting him labeled a “conservative” (whether he claims the label or not).

They cover everything from his Georgia roots and military brat upbringing to the day he decided to finally hit “record,” how he handles haters, and the formula he uses to make his videos hit so hard. Plus—why stereotypes about what a conservative “should” look like are completely wrong, and how creators like Crews Control are changing the conversation.
