Country artist Bryan Andrews with 4 million TikTok followers, a Billboard-charting single, and a brand-new mixtape;  joins Joy for one of the most unfiltered conversations Two Personal has had. They get into the grift of performative conservatism in country music, what it's like being the "Town Democrat" back home, why small-town white men need to be the messengers for change in their own communities, Christian nationalism, patriarchy, and what real masculinity actually looks like.
