About this episode

This week, Reid and Dan host multi-hit songwriter and artist, Ernest, out in God's Country for a BrothERN episode. The episode starts with Ernest making a special announcement about his political future and diving in on what he'd change about Nashville if he were to be elected. He takes a deep dive into why Maine Coon cats are superior animals, how he became connected to Post Malone, and gives the best Mitchell Tenpenny impersonation we've ever heard. The guys talk about what it is like being away from family when the job calls, and Ernest talks about his recent sabbatical from music to enjoy a summer break with his wife and son. The episode ends with a Gravorite that Willie Nelson himself would even approve of.
