Livin' the Life with Brent Burns

About this episode

Andy Andrews revisits a humorous conversation with singer Brent Burns, discussing wild stories and life lessons.

This week, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes from the early days of the podcast! Originally recorded in October 2020, Andy sits down with Brent Burns—singer, songwriter, humorist, and Gulf Coast legend—in one of our very first video episodes. Tune in for this hilarious encore including the wild story of a $10,000 horse named Groupie Doll who won the Breeders' Cup twice and sold for over $3 million, how Brent's song ended up on Paul Harvey's show (the one time Harvey ever played music), why getting shot in Vietnam — and spending three years in the hospital — can eventually become funny, the lesson about Donald Duck that kept Andy humble early in his career, and of course… a couple of songs! Visit BrentBurns.com to pick up Brent's albums, merch, and more!
