Brian admits, 'Moving on may be the hardest part,' proving that emotional flood damage isn’t covered by insurance or sympathy cards. Hunt may be drying out, but Brian’s drivetrain grinding through recovery feels more like an endless Texas summer sweat. It’s a tale of resilience where the cleanup has just begun, and spoiler alert: it’s messier than the flood itself.
