Calling all North Carolinians! This week on Beards & Banter, we're joined by the incredible state representative, Julie von Haefen. Dive deep with us as we discuss pressing issues facing the state, but get ready for a curveball – we also uncover Julie's surprising love for the Backstreet Boys (squeal!) and Taylor Swift (we knew you'd relate).

Plus: Durrell and Patrick debut their "Bozo of the Week" segment. You'll have to listen to find out who earned this dubious honor (but trust us, you won't want to miss it!).
