"What happens when a nation values its privileges above its principles?" That's the powerful question that launches this episode of The Kent Hance, The Best Storyteller in Texas Podcast—and it sets the stage for a whirlwind of stories, sharp insights, and classic Texas humor.

Kent Hance takes listeners on a journey through the latest government shutdown drama, breaking down the political gridlock, budget battles, and the real-life consequences for Americans.

  • Life Lessons: "Don't ever hire a restaurant manager that hasn't waited tables." Kent's advice is peppered with memorable quotes, including: "Don't ever hire a plumber that bites his fingernails."
  • Unbelievable Moments: From restroom etiquette statistics to a New Jersey knife fight over a slow line, Kent's stories are as wild as they are true.
  • Heartwarming Endings: Hear about a North Carolina couple finally taking their honeymoon after 31 years, and a Louisiana woman who saved three lives with the Heimlich maneuver.
