#173 The South w/ Trae Crowder

Since going viral with his Liberal Redneck videos in 2016, comedian Trae Crowder has become well-known for sharing a perspective that is southern in origin, but not quite what most people expect. In this episode, Trae joins Bob and Ben for a conversation about southern culture, the south's bizarre embrace of Donald Trump, and how his work helped a lot of southerners with less conservative viewpoints to 'come out of the closet.' We also talk about how Trae's family and education helped to shape his understanding of the world, and what it's like when you have your work suddenly go viral.
