EPISODE 12: MEDIA BIAS: OUTRAGE PAYS BETTER THAN TRUTH

MEDIA BIAS, OUTRAGE & THE BUSINESS OF KEEPING YOU MAD 🍿🔥 Brian and Randy welcome Dave back to the studio for a deep dive into one of the biggest problems in modern America… media bias. Why does every headline feel designed to make you angry? Is the news still about informing people… or is it about clicks, ratings, and keeping us emotionally hooked? We break down how outrage has become one of the most profitable industries in the world, how social media and 24/7 news cycles have destroyed attention spans, and why echo chambers are making Americans hate each other more than ever. We also debate whether true neutrality in journalism is even possible anymore — or if every network, influencer, and algorithm is pushing an agenda whether they admit it or not. 🥃 In this episode: • Is anger the new business model? • Why calm, balanced news doesn’t sell • Echo chambers and political tribalism • Rage bait, doom scrolling & low attention spans • Why people only trust “their side” now • Can truly unbiased journalism still exist? • Social media algorithms fueling division • Why every story feels like the end of the world As always, expect laughs, chaos, whiskey, uncomfortable truths, and conversations most people are too afraid to have. 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments: Do you think unbiased news still exists… or is everyone selling outrage now?

Episode 11: Have Men Given Up on Women?

From wild stories told in the barber chair to the emotional weight men quietly carry every day, this episode goes way deeper than just politics and laughs. Ro opens up about the craziest thing a client has ever confessed while sitting in her chair, the struggles men reveal behind closed doors, and why so many feel isolated, unheard, and afraid to speak honestly about what they’re going through. We also dive into: • Men silently suffering in modern society • Why so many guys feel emotionally disconnected • Dating, relationships, and pressure on men today • The barber chair as unofficial therapy • The difference between what men say publicly vs privately • Dark humor, uncomfortable truths, and real conversation Grab a drink and join us for one of the rawest conversations we’ve had yet.

You're Not Canceled.... You're Just Poor!

Cancel culture is everywhere… but is anyone actually getting canceled? If you have money you aren’t. Brian and Randy are back, joined by regular contributor Grant, and nothing is off limits. From celebrities getting “canceled” one week and trending the next, to the reality that the rich and powerful seem completely untouchable — we’re breaking down what cancel culture really is, and whether it’s all just noise. We dive into: • Why some celebrities get destroyed while others walk away untouched • The truth about healthcare reform and who actually benefits • Whether the “cancel mob” has any real credibility left • Why money might be the ultimate immunity from cancellation • The fallout from the 2024 election and what Kamala Harris losing means moving forward Is cancel culture accountability… or just outrage addiction with a short attention span? This episode gets dark, honest, and a little uncomfortable — exactly how we like it. Drop your thoughts in the comments… who actually got canceled for real?

Episode 9: Has Trump Broke Both Sides? TDS vs TWS

When a Republican host sits down with his Liberal friends, add in some drinks away from the echo chambers, real conversations happen. Episode 9 — Has Trump Broke Both Sides? | TDS vs. TWS Is Trump breaking the left… and the right? This week on Drinking With My Liberal Friends, contributor Dave is back in studio as we dive into Trump Derangement Syndrome vs Trump Worship Syndrome — when criticism becomes obsession, and loyalty becomes blind devotion. We talk about the millions in the middle who just want competence and stability… while the loudest voices on both sides seem addicted to outrage. Has politics become performance art? Has Trump become a mirror exposing something broken in all of us? We also go off on short attention spans, phone addiction, doom scrolling, the Epstein files, January 6th, and whether we’ve become too distracted to tell propaganda from truth. Dark humor, uncomfortable questions, and plenty of whiskey-fueled chaos. Are both sides deranged… just in different ways? Pour a drink and jump in.
