Brett kicks off the show with Pete Kaliner for this week’s Friday Hangover; they discuss everything from Cracker Barrel’s controversial logo change to the erosion of beauty in modern public art and architecture. With signature wit and sharp commentary, the two hosts riff on the idea of "art by explanation," criticizing the trend of abstract, government-funded art installations that lack immediate aesthetic value. The conversation also touches on branding absurdities, like the Cracker Barrel rebrand removing the iconic cracker and barrel imagery, sparking a comedic monologue from “Uncle Herschel.”

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the New York Supreme Court's decision to significantly reduce the judgment against Donald Trump and how it represents a major blow to New York Attorney General Letitia James. He criticizes both James and Judge Arthur Engoron, calling them politically motivated and unprofessional, even referring to Engoron as a "weirdo."

Later, Brett dives into what he calls possibly the worst story he’s come across—news that a California resident has contracted the bubonic plague after being bitten by a flea while camping near South Lake Tahoe. The unsettling news. He mocks the idea of returning to “13th-century” problems in 2025 and questions why the plague hasn’t been completely eradicated from the planet. Brett makes it clear he’s not a camper—recalling fewer than four lifetime camping trips—and urges listeners to avoid rodents, fleas, and all things wild.

We’re joined by Jeremy Carl from the Claremont Institute to talk about immigration, assimilation, and the future of American identity. A North Carolina native and former senior official at the U.S. Department of the Interior, Carl discusses his recent article The Nation of Theses, which argues that America must return to promoting shared civic values while limiting immigration to manageable levels.

Brett dives into what he calls possibly the worst story he’s come across—news that a California resident has contracted the bubonic plague after being bitten by a flea while camping near South Lake Tahoe. Joined by Isaac and Lonnie, who immediately rate the story a “10” on the horror scale, Brett uses humor and disbelief to process the unsettling news. He mocks the idea of returning to “13th-century” problems in 2025 and questions why the plague hasn’t been completely eradicated from the planet. Brett makes it clear he’s not a camper—recalling fewer than four lifetime camping trips—and urges listeners to avoid rodents, fleas, and all things wild. He also highlights the importance of early treatment and prevention, like using insect repellent, though he jokes he’s opting to stay indoors permanently. Through it all, Brett delivers a mix of public service, comedy, and mild panic that’s both entertaining and informative.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the rising allure of socialism and the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela. He questions what makes socialism so appealing to some Americans and promises to “pin some tails on donkeys” to expose the flaws in that ideology. Shifting gears, Brett breaks down breaking news: the Trump administration’s deployment of three U.S. warships to Venezuela’s coast to confront drug cartels and apply pressure on Maduro’s regime. He connects the move to broader geopolitical messaging—particularly toward Vladimir Putin—highlighting the $50 million bounty on Maduro and recent asset seizures.

We're joined by Ambassador Carla Sands, former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark and prominent businesswoman, to talk about President Trump’s recent diplomatic efforts and the evolving global landscape.

Ambassador Sands highlighted the historic meetings between Trump and world leaders, including a significant Oval Office gathering with Ukrainian President Zelensky.

Sands also discussed the ongoing hybrid warfare threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party, underscoring the scale of IP theft and societal infiltration.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S. southern border and the 2020 census. He claims the border was deliberately “thrown open” during COVID to inflate census numbers by including millions of illegal immigrants. According to Brett, this strategy was designed to give Democrats an unfair political advantage by increasing congressional representation, electoral votes, and federal funding in blue states.

We're joined by Michael Whatley from North Carolina to talk about his U.S. Senate candidacy and the key issues driving his campaign Whatley emphasized the need for strong conservative leadership, economic growth, and national security.

Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this edition of The Hangover as they engage in a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation on current political dynamics, leadership, and foreign policy. Broadcasting from Truist Field, Brett reflects on the state of the country while previewing the upcoming Memphis Redbirds game and postgame concert. The discussion takes a serious turn as Brett and Pete explore the challenges of confronting authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin and examine the credibility of American leadership on the world stage.

Later, Brett delivered a powerful monologue that cut through decades of foreign policy missteps with surgical precision. Reflecting on the legacy of U.S. diplomacy post-Cold War, Brett examined the broken promises made to Russia—specifically the verbal assurances that NATO would not expand eastward—and how those disregarded words helped lay the groundwork for today’s conflicts. He traced the path from James Baker’s fateful statement to the rise of NATO, the 2014 Crimea annexation, and the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Through pointed references to key players like Victoria Nuland, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama, Brett painted a sobering picture of arrogance masquerading as diplomacy. He emphasized that it’s the ordinary people—not elites—who suffer when global powers play geopolitical chess.

Ending with a firm call for humility in leadership and real efforts toward peace, Brett reminded listeners that principle without reflection becomes empire. In his words: “Broken promises breed broken nations.”
