Brad Paisley did a Zoom call with two guys in Pittsford, New York who were spreading a very positive message.
Benjamin Smith is white, Marcus Ellis is African American, and they spent Saturday sitting on lawn chairs in front of Benjamin's house next to signs that read "Black or white . . . relax and have a beer." The pictures went viral, so Brad asked them to do the call that evening.
Before the call, he sent hundreds of dollars worth of beer and told them, "I thought we should deliver more beer than you could possibly drink."
He said he was thrilled to meet them and was inspired by their friendship. Quote, "It's these things. Sitting around with your best buddy and talking about it." They asked him to sing "No 'I' In Beer" so he picked up his guitar and played a little of it.
He closed it off by thanking them for taking the lead during this difficult time. And he asked them to send pictures in the morning "when you're asleep in the driveway."
