Hold onto your hats and clutch your pearls, because the 127th episode of A News You Can Use Podcast is coming in hot with high energy and no filters! Frenchaire Gardner welcomes the wild and wonderfully unpredictable crew from A Fifth of Something Cowboy Blue & Miles o.T. You think you know “candid”? Think again—this is a hilariously unhinged deep-dive into the unknown, where you’ll hear stories that make you laugh out loud and ask, "Did they really just say that?"

From raucous laughs to out-of-nowhere wisdom, Cowboy Blue and Miles are here to share just enough knowledge on just about everything they only kinda know. Expect side-splitting moments, knee-slapping tales, and maybe a lesson or two along the way…if they don’t go totally off the rails.

This episode is not just an interview; it’s an experience. Frenchaire gets right into the madness with these two as they share unforgettable tales and take podcast chaos to a whole new level. You won’t want to miss this!
