Try That in a Small Town Podcast
In 2023, Jason Aldean's groundbreaking song and video "Try That In A Small Town" resonated with a resurgence of conservative values in America. The writers of the song, Kurt, Neil, Tully, and Kelley, took the opportunity to launch the Try That In A Small Town Podcast. This platform allows them to reveal the true inspiration behind the song and discuss the importance of common-sense values. With a lineup of influential guests, the hosts will entertain you with the stories behind their music, while also addressing challenging topics affecting our communities and country.
Try That in a Small Town Podcast
Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, And The Culture Fight :: Ep 78 Try That in a Small Town Podcast
We get started talking coffee. Then a simple road-life chat about interstate numbers flipped into a full-on culture rumble: Taylor Swift as role model or red flag, Bad Bunny and the Super Bowl halftime backlash, and why every big stage now doubles as a battlefield. We don’t tiptoe. We pull apart what “pushing boundaries” means for mainstream pop, whether provocation is smart art or cheap attention, and how much responsibility stars owe to young fans who adopt their style and values.
From there, we tackle the tougher stuff most people feel but rarely say out loud: giving credit to political opponents, wanting cities to feel safe without turning it into a purity test, and the moment TV news drifted from reporting to outrage engines. If you’ve felt worn down by clickbait, AI fakes, and the endless demand to pick a side, you’ll hear your own fatigue in this one—and you’ll pick up practical ways to resist being emotionally farmed, like verifying sources and noticing when a headline is engineered to light you up.
We also argue about who belongs on the biggest stage in American sports. Is the NFL’s global strategy sacrificing the fan base that made it massive? We float a different halftime vision—country and heartland rock that match the audience—while acknowledging the business math behind controversy. And because not everything has to be a fight, we cool things off with tour-bus coffee rituals, an Alabama–Tennessee bet, and whether cold plunges actually help recovery and focus.
If you’re craving honest talk that respects your intelligence, welcomes disagreement, and still feels like friends on a back porch, press play. Then tell us: who should headline the Super Bowl, and what would restore your trust in the news? Subscribe, share with a friend, and drop a review with your halftime pick.

There are worse role models to have than Taylor Swift if you're a young girl.
SPEAKER_09:I don't think so. You don't think so?
SPEAKER_08:You don't think there's any worse role models?
SPEAKER_09:I think she's one of the worst. Really? Absolutely. Okay, give it to me. Why? I'm just I just think she is.
SPEAKER_06:I believe I think in November that Kamala Harris is speaking at the Rhyman, and it just struck me wrong.
SPEAKER_08:Really? Believe that's happening. She's coming to Nashville and has a speaking engagement at the Ryman. We should be more like at a museum or something. You know what I mean? Something more. It actually should be at a bar.
SPEAKER_05:Just because you think you're right or we think we're right doesn't mean it's not being controversial. Because someone else doesn't agree with you. So right away. Think Trump is controversial. So Trump's, yeah, exactly. So with what?
SPEAKER_04:Well, Neil. From their perspective. From their perspective. But their per what? I'm just telling you. From their perspective.
SPEAKER_03:Well, well, it would be their perspective is like immoral as hell. What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_02:Beginnings.
SPEAKER_05:I remember you said as a kid, polock. Yeah. That was part of the refuge park back in the day.
SPEAKER_08:Well, one of my best friends is a good thing.
SPEAKER_09:You can say blop. You can say polo. You can say whatever you want.
SPEAKER_08:But polock.
SPEAKER_07:It's still drug story. It'd be very expensive. Yeah, it's a good idea. It's a P. It's a Polish.
SPEAKER_08:But why?
SPEAKER_06:Well, it's the P of the N-word. Because there's a lot of G rolls about Pollocks that are, you know. That's why. A Polak. Please.
SPEAKER_08:I'll tell you where I got it from.
SPEAKER_06:Please tell me where you're rolling.
SPEAKER_08:Are we going back to this? I don't know. What are you talking about? I don't know where else we can go.
SPEAKER_06:Are we going? Are we are we? Yeah, we're on. I apologize to one of my best friends, Glenn Zarneski.
SPEAKER_08:I didn't know we were rolling. And that is K. We've got Trash DK. I'm Kurt. Zarneski. Man. I like it. I don't know if we can top last week's episode's energy, but it feels good. Just so everybody knows. Hold on before you go. Just so everybody knows, we do have a bunch of great guests coming on. We had to do the four of us, though, because we were talking about stuff. Unfortunately for the listeners. No, they're going to love this episode. This is going to be one of our best. We are the Patriot Mobile Studios, powered by eSpaces. We're going to thank Patriot Mobile, Original Glory, and of course eSpaces. We've got a new one to talk about, which we'll get to. Yeah. Yeah. But what were you saying? One of you guys was saying is if you wanted to get to something quick, what was it?
SPEAKER_06:Oh no, we talked about um I told uh Tully we were talking about interstates and directions, like how close we were to 65, right? And so then I told Tully said, said, Hey, you know that that the odd numbers run north and south. And he didn't know that. And I'm blown away. So 65 be north and south. It's because he's in the east and west.
SPEAKER_05:I just don't know how I went 50 years. I mean 35 years and not understanding or knowing that north and south was odd numbers.
SPEAKER_08:Well, 16 of those you weren't driving, so you can still practice.
SPEAKER_05:Still, but I spent all my years, you know, on the road essentially. Yeah. You know, one form or another. Right. Um Neil, did you know this? Yeah, I did.
SPEAKER_04:I don't know if you did. I did. Well, it's not a workshop. You know, I did. Always on your right. Okay.
SPEAKER_05:I ignore always straight that. I have another beef. If someone, if someone says, listen to me, the listeners. If somebody says, hey, if if I'm at the front of the building, the door, and someone says, hey. Hypothetically, if someone says if someone says, you know, if I'm at the front of the door and someone goes, hey, go to the east side of the building. I'm going east. Well, you mean you're going right? East. My going my east, your east.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, you just say, uh, Siri, which way is east from where I'm standing?
SPEAKER_05:Well, how do you supposed to know if you got unless you got a compass and you're sitting there? I agree. Something's silly.
SPEAKER_06:That's a little different. But we're talking about interstates and you know things like that.
SPEAKER_09:You would think of all the years that you that you guys have been on the road, that you would have spent a little time in the jump seat next to the driver. Talk to the driver and go, hey, I was just wondering. I have a question for you. Why are these interstates named and numbered like they are?
SPEAKER_05:Did everybody know that odd numbers run?
SPEAKER_08:I think everybody at this table did, but you're right. We should ask the listeners. Yeah, I'll show them hope that I'm not the only one.
SPEAKER_06:I only learned it a few years ago, and I I guarantee you, I guarantee you that they're there truckers that drive every day and have for 20 years. There's a there's a few truckers out there that are learning new information right now. I just wonder if I'm so aloof to everything around me that I just know until about five years ago.
SPEAKER_08:We should do an Instagram poll. We'll do that. We'll see how many people. Yeah, who knew that? Yeah, but but are are we breaking the news?
SPEAKER_07:I I think that's a good idea. No, we are not breaking the news. No, we're not breaking it. We're breaking it to somebody.
SPEAKER_06:Me.
SPEAKER_07:Yeah. You and somebody else. That everybody here, even Jim, knew. Jim's smarter than all of us, probably. He's got a lot of worthless information in that. I know. But do you think Rich knows this?
SPEAKER_08:I know you think no? I bet he doesn't. No, he's a drummer.
SPEAKER_04:He's a drummer.
SPEAKER_08:Hurt.
SPEAKER_04:Okay, you're right.
SPEAKER_08:You're right, he doesn't.
SPEAKER_05:I know Al Dean doesn't. No way.
SPEAKER_06:Right? Well, he doesn't drive, does he? Yes, people drive him, so I don't yeah. He wouldn't have the need for that knowledge.
SPEAKER_05:But it's so my mind's so blown because now I'm I'm thinking back to every interstate I've been on. Like, I'm like, wow.
SPEAKER_09:This is amazing. I mean, I've been on the road for years. I have. Yeah, I think I've got to be amazing. It's amazing I was 18. I mean, I'm not saying it's bad. We've known it a long time. I learned it today.
SPEAKER_06:But that's exciting. That's why we're doing this podcast is to teach people basic things, Tully.
SPEAKER_05:It's important. I feel like someone told me that along the way and I just tuned it out. That's a good half. Yeah, let's go with that.
SPEAKER_09:Neil?
SPEAKER_08:You're tucking over there.
SPEAKER_09:I got my Alabama football. It's a big week. You feeling good? Oh, it's Alabama. Hey, by the time this goes by the time this comes out, though, we'll know who the winner is. Do you want to make a bet? You want to bet something?
SPEAKER_08:Tell people it's Alabama, Tennessee. Yeah. We'll bet you beards.
SPEAKER_09:We'll shave our beards.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah. Nunly.
SPEAKER_08:How about a manscaped?
SPEAKER_07:Oh. Hey. Hey, I'll shave you, you shave me. I don't think we want to do that. Okay. I hate that I would take losing a bet for killing a manscape.
SPEAKER_06:Well, I don't know. I still don't know what the big deal is. It's kind of like you know the. No, it's kind of like parsley on a plate. You just push it over. You're not going to eat it.
SPEAKER_05:Oh my God. This is way bigger of a deal than me not knowing the interstate direct though. This is old. This is old news.
SPEAKER_06:This is old news.
SPEAKER_08:Is there a bet between you guys? For all we know.
SPEAKER_09:I think there should be. We've never done it before. I think so too. I think it's time. What would it be? I don't know what that'd be though. I don't know. I mean, next week, you know, the winner will be declared when this comes out. That's another thing we can ask.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, because when this comes out, it will already be known.
SPEAKER_09:Yes. It'll be the yeah, it'll that's that's right. I mean, I'll wear it. I don't mind wearing it pute putrid orange on the on the on the show. Get me some overalls. I'll wear some uh checkerboard overalls. That's not a and I've got pajamas. I've got some Alabama onesie. It's a big onesie. You wear it.
SPEAKER_07:If we win feet, it's got this little feature. No, it doesn't have to be.
SPEAKER_09:What about cold hard cash?$1,000. We did that with try that in small town. I won that already. That's true.
SPEAKER_06:That's a thousand bucks. Yeah. I know. No, we're we're at Alabama. That's I mean, and and it's uh what Alabama's their hands. I wear but they're favored by like eight and a half points.
SPEAKER_09:If y'all win, if y'all win, if y'all win, I'll wear orange and white checkerboard overalls. If we win, you wear my onesie. I don't want to wear a onesie. It doesn't matter whether you want to do it or not. You have to wear a cup. No, you're just not you're below the table. You're good.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I guess that's right. I don't know. We'll think about it.
SPEAKER_08:Hey, tell it. Let's talk about this real quick. The peacemaker coffee, because this is fantastic.
SPEAKER_05:I love this these people in this company. Chris Morris and his wife Tiffany.
SPEAKER_08:They're good people. They came out to a show.
SPEAKER_05:They came out to Detroit. Um we were swapping messages on Instagram, I don't know, a month and a half, a couple months ago. And they sent some coffee to try out. Their husband and wife, they it's uh Peacemaker Coffee Company. Um and really it's based on faith, family, community. Uh they started it in 2019. That's amazing. They support the first responders, military, teachers, medical personnel, and veterans. Come on.
SPEAKER_09:Amen. It's fantastic.
SPEAKER_05:Clean coffee. What I like about it, like it's acidic, it's low. And so it's not very bitter. Um, and that was one of the things I really really liked about it. But first, first of all, first of all, though, they're great people. And I was hoping the coffee would be good. If it's really good, it's actually fantastic.
SPEAKER_09:We've had uh if it wasn't good, you think we would have said something? Like we would have still said it was good, even though it really wasn't. We know you wouldn't have. I would say I probably wouldn't have said that.
SPEAKER_05:I don't I don't think we would have no. I wouldn't have said anything. No, but it's really it's honest like that. That's good. Yeah, that coffee's really, really good. It's amazing.
SPEAKER_09:And I'm a snob when it comes to coffee.
SPEAKER_05:It too. It's an amazing little company, but they brought us like K cups, you know, and they got little cool like Trump K cups, you know, and which is are great.
SPEAKER_06:That's all I've had so far is the K cups. I'm looking forward to trying the uh the bean is the whole beans are really good.
SPEAKER_08:It's not oily because I've got one of those fancy coffee makers. You can't have oily beans, these are not oily. I'm just telling you, this is good coffee. So if you want 20% off, you go to the is it Peacemaker Coffee Company, yep, and you put in the code SMALTTON20. They're gonna give you 20% off this coffee. Highly, highly recommend. They're not paying us, they're not doing that.
SPEAKER_05:That's right. They're not paying us nothing that's the thing. What are you talking about? They're not paying us, they're great, listen to me. They're they're they're great people. And I mean, they're doing they're doing this for a great cause. I mean, they're trying to make a living doing it. It's you know, it's being a small coffee company. Yeah, it's it's just uh as far as I know, I think they started it in their house and now they've got uh their own building. It's amazing, so it's growing. But they're great people. They came out to Detroit and um we had a great time. And like I said, I was hoping the coffee would be good, and the coffee's very good. Yeah, exceeded expertise. I wouldn't say that if it wasn't. So give give them a try. But we uh we love being involved with Peacemaker Coffee Company.
SPEAKER_08:Peacemaker coffee, small town 20 is the code. Get you 20% off. God, we're good at that.
SPEAKER_06:Give it a try.
SPEAKER_08:That's good. Yeah, you are.
SPEAKER_06:Speaking of coffee, I had too much coffee today.
SPEAKER_04:What? What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_05:Way too much.
SPEAKER_06:So y'all got me into those Celsius drinks. Yeah. Now I'm having to cut back on those. I like those Celsius.
SPEAKER_08:I wish they'd sponsors. That's good. That's an instant buzz. They're really good. That's an instant buzz. Instant.
SPEAKER_09:Have you gone a day like where you woke up and had like one or two cups in the morning and you didn't have any more the rest of the day? Coffee? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but can you tell the difference?
SPEAKER_05:Here's the thing.
SPEAKER_09:You probably sleep better.
SPEAKER_05:I do. Here's the thing. When the tour starts, okay. When we're when we're not on tour, I probably only have a couple cups a day. Or it doesn't really affect me as as as much. But when we're on tour, the coffee on the bus is probably some of the strongest coffee ever made. So it is thick. So when I when the tour is done, all the coffee feels weak because it's not made. Like it's it's really strong. So I I should probably drink less coffee, but uh, but I like it too much.
SPEAKER_07:It's I don't it's it's good for you.
SPEAKER_05:Coffee?
SPEAKER_07:Yeah, yeah, it's good for you. I drink it all day. I do too. I like it.
SPEAKER_06:I love coffee. There's a worse thing.
SPEAKER_09:We've had worse. Yeah, and when we're writing, yeah, just gonna drink here in the studio.
SPEAKER_05:You can drink coffee. That's what you do. When we were producing a lot, like years ago, we were just in the studio. We come off the road, go to the studio days at a time. It was nothing to just uh go through four or five pots of coffee. Just I mean, that's what you do. But you're right, even writing, like we're writing, it's like it's fun, tastes good, good for you.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, me and my wife are coffee snobs, man. Hey, well and this stuff is really good. I will say it again. Hey, seriously, we had it and it's really, really good.
SPEAKER_05:Tell us what Lana thinks of it. She loves it. She loves it. Yeah. That's great.
SPEAKER_06:Well, Kalo, you got your bean, your whole bean? Yeah, I can't wait to try it. So I do waste a lot of coffee. Like it I use Curie most of the time just because it's easier. You have the cups, though, right? I get the cups and they're great. But but I I I drink probably, well, I make probably 12 pods a day.
SPEAKER_08:But I bet I 12 pots?
SPEAKER_06:Or pods? Oh my god. Yeah. But what happens is I get it and I take the first few sips, then I forget about it, let it get cold, and I pour it out and get another one. So I waste a little bit. Are you rich? Did you grow up rich? No, no, no. She's very rich. I did not grow up rich.
SPEAKER_08:Neil, did you grow up rich?
SPEAKER_07:Yeah, that's Neil grew up rich. Anybody grew up with two parents in the same place is rich. Middle class? So you probably grown? That wouldn't be true. It's just fun to say.
SPEAKER_08:Were you well? Did you do okay?
SPEAKER_09:My dad parents my dad sang gospel music and he did really well. They were big when they were doing it when I was young, and we had a very comfortable life in a middle-class neighborhood. Rich. Middle class home. Probably rich. It wasn't rich. Very rich.
SPEAKER_06:No, I I've I've we've driven by there. It was a it's a normal, it's it looks exactly like the neighborhood I grew up in. Yeah. Rich. Rich. No, it's very rich. No, no, rich. Not even close. No, it's just very very normal.
SPEAKER_09:Just um my first car was a 77 Grand Prix. I wasn't rich. Hold on, you had a car? I did. Did you have both parents?
SPEAKER_08:I did. Rich.
SPEAKER_07:Tell you how divorced families. Rich.
SPEAKER_05:Well, speaking of thinking about this though, seriously. These are great. They're great. Fantastic. One last plug for the company. This these little books. Yeah, thank you.
SPEAKER_06:Those are very cool. Thank you guys. Thank you very much. Anyway. Well, Neil, I wondered if you were wanting to talk about like uh Tay Tay's new record. Well, Taylor Swift. Have you checked it out yet? Life of Showgirl?
SPEAKER_09:No, I have not. I've just seen a lot of reviews on it. What's the reviews like?
SPEAKER_08:I haven't even seen Taylor.
SPEAKER_06:It's pretty bad. I don't know about the reviews, but um, but there's some favorites that you know because I was kind of looking at and I listened to a couple of them because my wife had listed. I mean, they're really good. It's stuff that I couldn't, you know, I I couldn't write. There's I mean, she's she's smart.
SPEAKER_08:I mean, yeah, is it she's lots of more of the same, just catchy pop songs.
SPEAKER_06:I can't say that because I don't listen to I I haven't listened in a good while to all her uh records and stuff, but uh even the title, like some of the titles, um you know, like The Fate of Ophelia, which is that's track one. You know, so I had to look up and I said, okay, Ophelia. And then I think it's a Caesar. Like, have y'all listened to that? That song?
SPEAKER_08:No, I actually haven't heard any of it.
SPEAKER_06:Um there's and like so that gets a lot, that gets a lot of likes. Father figure gets a lot of likes, and I think this is wrong. It says oldest daughter, I think it's eldest daughter. Uh listed out, that's pretty good. And there's one called Wood, which I think is for um because everybody would know what that'd be about. Um but but anyway, so I haven't fully listened. I was just kind of curious, you know, if you guys had.
SPEAKER_08:I hadn't um, as you guys may have remembered, I don't listen to a lot of music. But yeah, I don't know. I don't either.
SPEAKER_09:I've just seen I've seen some folks have commented on it and how and it was all pretty much, you know, they were they were uh highlighting the negative.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I mean I'll say this about Taylor. She gets she gets a lot of flack, but I mean there are worse role models to have than Taylor Swift if you're a young girl.
SPEAKER_09:I don't think so.
SPEAKER_08:You don't think so? No, you don't think there's any worse role models?
SPEAKER_09:I think she's one of the worst. Really? Absolutely give it to me. Why? I'm just I just think she is. She she glorifies sin. She mocks God. She In which ways? I'd have to listen to the record. That's just what I've been reading. From credible sources. From credible sources about this record. Well, now if I would like to. And and it that's just what and these are credible people that I'm reading from, and I won't name their names, but it's I believe it. And I've seen her videos in the past. I don't have to, I don't have to listen to what these critics are saying about her record. I've seen what she's put out before, and I would not let I would not let my daughter. In fact, I encouraged my daughters back back in the day. I was like, hmm, you're saying so one of the worst somebody else.
SPEAKER_08:Rather haven't listened to Cardi B than Taylor Swift. No.
SPEAKER_09:No, not at all. Okay. No, they have so much influence over the young generation and so many young girls in our in this world today. Millions and millions. And and the stuff that they put out there that that is just filth, in my opinion. And I think it's I think it's I think it's a horrible example.
SPEAKER_08:Is there a pop singer that you would be okay with your daughters listening to that you can think of? I'm sure there are.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah. I'm sure there's some. Yeah. Absolutely. Now that they're married because you know what? It's so unnecessary. You why do you have to sexualize everything? Why do you have to why do you have to go there to make good music? You don't have to do that. It's a it's clearly intentional.
SPEAKER_05:Well you can go, but you but to that point though, I mean don't want to argue, but you know, you can look back and all genres of music and and see how that worked. You can look back in videos when MTV came out, and you can Madonna. But just it's not just female, like I mean, shit. Remember watching the white snake videos over and over again. I mean, sure. You know, I think it's it's to some extent, it's always been that way. Well, you know. I I'll say this about Taylor Swift. You can't argue with it, whether you like it or not. Night after night in stadiums. Night after night in stadiums. It's the same thing when people say don't like Morgan Wallen. You can say that all you want. You don't do two nights, three nights in stadiums. Yeah, but is that is that a good thing?
SPEAKER_08:To be fair, I haven't listened to Yeah, I guess I don't know that deep of the state. You've seen her videos.
SPEAKER_09:I didn't know that she was doing I have no idea. You've seen her videos though in the past. Actually, it's uh there's drag queens, there's everything. She's she's done it all. She's covered it all as far as the is as far as all that goes. And I'm just like, whatever. I will say it off. I will say this.
SPEAKER_08:I see what you did. Shake it off, turn it off.
SPEAKER_06:I will say this, like since it's out and it and it's huge and everything, like uh, and again, I haven't I haven't listened to a couple pieces, but I do respect the artist part of it because she is huge and she pushes, she does push the limits, and she's crazy smart, especially with marketing and everything. But I was thinking about on the way over here actually, like what you know, what are we gonna talk about and stuff. Like in pushing, like for me, like as a as a writer, I have rarely ever in my entire career pushed the limits. Like you generally don't. That's not what makes you money. But an artist like that, when you get to a certain level and you want to and you want to keep growing, I mean, they almost you almost have to. Like, like if and again, I don't know what I'm not saying you know, change your things that you believe in to write content that goes against what you believe, but she's not doing that. It seems like she's always true to herself and right in what she's thinking or feeling. But um but I respect uh artists that push things like that, and the same same with Al Dean on uh not to bring up the name of our podcast called Try That in a Small Town Podcast. Um but you can't. But but that but that's but that's pushing it. That that was pushing it. But you can't do that every time.
SPEAKER_09:But you can't you can't compare what our I'm not comparing content. Yeah, I didn't yeah, but content content's everything.
SPEAKER_05:I'm just talking about especially who who she's selling to and who her audience is. But Kurt brought up a great point though. You look uh I mean, I was a huge Madonna fan when when that first album came out in Like a Virgin.
SPEAKER_06:I mean, that was touch for the very first time.
SPEAKER_05:I mean, that was pushing I'm seriously, all kinds of boundaries, right? Yeah, yeah. But I mean, look what I mean that's what kind of what Taylor is doing, like to that level. Madonna was huge, still huge, really an icon.
SPEAKER_09:Let me ask you all this. Do you think you think it's a she's a positive force for the uh young female generation?
SPEAKER_05:So I must be you think she's a positive or a negative force. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. Exactly. I mean it's it's you you it's connecting, it's out there and there's nothing you can do. I don't I don't I I I guess I need to do more of a deep dive to to see that side of it. I mean, I I to be fair, I haven't I remember the stuff she came out with a few years ago, like the shake it off era.
SPEAKER_08:That's what I think of when I think it's pretty I don't know any of it. But yeah, hooky and catchy, yeah, you know.
SPEAKER_09:Well she got big from the from the boy bashing. I mean, that's what she did. Right, that's what she did. That was her thing. She's she's now taken it a step further, and it's just I don't see anything positive, anything good with with her music at all. Scratch Taylor off the Taylor won't be coming on the yeah, I don't know.
SPEAKER_06:I mean, because just looking at the titles, I don't see anything like that, but maybe there is. I haven't listened to all the content. But I but I am gonna listen to it just for the because I just I just I do want to hear it all. I want to hear it all.
SPEAKER_08:I assume she wrote everything.
SPEAKER_05:You know, I would assume so. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. I would assume so. She might make a little bit of money.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:You know, can't even think of that kind of money.
SPEAKER_09:That's my whole thing. It's like, why do you have to go there? She doesn't have to go there to be huge and to get even bigger than she already is. She doesn't have to push the envelope like that at all. Why is she doing that?
SPEAKER_06:I think I know the video you're talking about. I'm not sure what song it is, but I think you asked you you told me to know I mean I mean the video that that has the uh the drag queens in it and stuff. There's a lot of pink in it and trailers. I remember that. Yeah. Um but I think being on the liberal side, I think liberals generally just want to make sure that everybody knows if they include everybody. You know, I think that's that's their whole point. Conservatives, we don't exclude anybody. We just say, hey, I believe I believe this. I exclude people. Absolutely exclude people. I'm just saying, damn that. I'm just saying, we just say, hey, we don't this is not the lifestyle we choose. We don't condone it or or endorse it, but liberals generally endorse everything. And that's probably as an artist.
SPEAKER_09:They don't endorse us. Not at all. They wouldn't endorse me at all. That's a good point. Yeah, then they don't have to do that. That's good point. The one that wants to be all inclusive is the least inclusive, and that'd be the left.
SPEAKER_08:Well, I actually agree with that.
SPEAKER_09:That's a that's a good point. But I think but I will say they claim it, but they they don't practice it.
SPEAKER_05:But I don't lump everybody. Like if you didn't vote for Donald Trump, I don't I don't call you a liberal. Like if you didn't vote for Donald Trump, I don't feel like that. I feel like there's a lot of people out there who I think there's the far left liberal, the Tim Waltz's, who drive me freaking insane because it drives me nuts. But I don't think everyone's that far. I think most people I still believe most people just want to live and they may have different beliefs in each other and us and that's fine. Yeah, there's a different thing. I don't think I I know that far left side is I know I it's there, but I don't think everybody's that far left. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, it's I agree with you. I was just thinking today. Uh what what day is it? It's Tuesday, and we just saw the hostages released, right? Did you guys see any of those videos?
SPEAKER_06:How do you watch that and not cry?
SPEAKER_08:I mean it's it's overwhelmingly emotional and non-political. It's how do you not cry watching that stuff? Uh it is disappointing that people on the other side will not it's not even that they won't give Trump credit for that. It's that they don't even acknowledge this.
SPEAKER_09:You heard Hillary Clinton. She she totally acknowledged it. And there are a lot, actually.
SPEAKER_06:I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_09:Hillary Clinton of all people acknowledging commended the Trump Trump administration and President.
SPEAKER_06:She did. And totally did. Uh yeah, and they're not showering, you know, love, but they're saying that.
SPEAKER_08:Well, that makes me happy because I had seen a lot of people that didn't, like I saw Clay Travis tweeted, uh Barack Obama had time to congratulate the WNBA champs, but he didn't congratulate uh Trump for what a wuss. But that's good to hear that she did. Because it is non-political.
SPEAKER_09:And it didn't look you know what it she didn't even look like it was hard for her to say. It shouldn't be. It came right out, like natural.
SPEAKER_05:That's amazing. It was it was, it really was. But think about this though the the the people that you're talking about, like and some of the politicians on the left, when the when the little boy that came out to our shows, brain cancer, uh DJ uh yeah, when he's when he you know got the standing ovation at the State of the Union, yeah, they sat. And that was like very dark. Like, how do you pathetic a kid with brain cancer but what more do you need to see? That nothing that that section that part of it is really upsetting and truly dark.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, you wish people just had their political beliefs, you could believe that, but then that's true together on the side of the state. That's truly dark.
SPEAKER_05:But I think the people generally people like I know people who who didn't vote for Trump for different reasons and and and they're great people. They just don't didn't like Trump, which is fine. Yeah. That's their that's their right. Trump can be hard to like. Let's just be honest. Absolutely. So it's hard to love. It's good. You know, but I I love his policies and I I can kind of see through what he says, you know, and it's you know, but it's so funny to it.
SPEAKER_09:Starts bowling over the more he achieves and the more he accomplishes that's good, the matter they get. Yeah, and it is hilarious to watch.
SPEAKER_05:In my opinion, a fantastic job.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I think we all agree that, but he's done a fantastic job.
SPEAKER_05:I think overall, I think it'll be hard for people not to look back on this term of his presidency and and not say, my wow. I agree. Because he actually you know, when he first came in, he he did something different. He did what he said he was gonna do. And people are not used to that. They're used to politicians saying they're gonna do something, and then they get elected on that, but nothing ever happened. What is the ma the MAGA agenda?
SPEAKER_09:What would y'all say the MAGA agenda is? In a nutshell. I don't know.
SPEAKER_06:Well, it depends on like I don't think them I don't think if you are MAGA that you necessarily have an agenda. I just think there's some on the left that think that agenda is one racist.
SPEAKER_09:I'm like that guy that's what they the Billy Joe Armstrong and Green Day. Yeah, the Green Day. Yeah. Oh, what did he say about it? He's like he's like uh American idiot. Yeah, he said, I'm not a fan of domestic terrorism. F the MAGA agenda, is what he said.
SPEAKER_05:I think a lot of these people know what they're talking about. They don't know. They just I don't think guys like him what's he for then? They don't really don't know. That's a great question. They really I swear to god, they don't know. They they don't, they're just for whatever reason, they're out to hate Trump, and I don't think they really know, to be honest with you.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:You know, uh that's a good question.
SPEAKER_09:I'm just I'm like, then what are you for? If you're not for anything that's already happened and that he's uh that Donald Trump's already accomplished, then what? And that it blows my mind. I can't I'm trying to think of anything that they could possibly be in favor of. This is the opposite of what he's accomplished.
SPEAKER_05:Again, I don't think they know. I don't think they just it's hate truck, hate truck blindly. Absolutely. And then and that that's frustrating because like everybody's getting so worked up about him cleaning up the cities. Don't you want to be safe? Do you not don't you want to be able to walk down the street in Chicago or New York?
SPEAKER_09:I was in DC well um when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I was it happened to be in DC. And that downtown area that used to be overrun, you couldn't go out at night.
SPEAKER_08:It's a scary place to be.
SPEAKER_09:And it's not it's not anymore. Yeah. We're walking around at night, and people and people are telling telling us, me and my wife, that this is how it's supposed to be right here, and and every one of them were thanking Trump for it. He cleaned That place up and now he's trying to go to Chicago, he's trying to go to Memphis, he's trying to go to Portland, he's trying to clean and it and if people would go to DC now and walk the streets at night, they would see it first. How awesome it is.
SPEAKER_05:That's such a positive thing. Like the immigration and and all that and what he's done, even you know, tariffs has been a been a bit of a battle up and down, you know, but he's still positive things happening. You know, this whole thing with cleaning up the cities to me is an amazing thing. Like like just you're supposed to be able to feel safe. You know what I mean? What and who my thing is like who doesn't want who's anti walking around without getting killed? I don't understand. Like where are those people? That's that's what I've in a nutshell. That's what I don't understand. Those section of people, and they'll they'll they'll say they hate it and we don't need you here, and they don't know what they're talking about. They don't know what they're arguing for. Don't you want to be safe? What's the problem with being safe?
SPEAKER_09:I think I think their hatred of Trump is so great that they could get mugged on a street like in DC, they could get mugged and they still make an example. They would blame Trump. They blame Trump for the game. They blame Trump for getting mugged. No doubt. Exactly. No doubt.
SPEAKER_05:That's that's how that's how deep the hatred is for that guy. I it is crazy, and and I and I know people that no matter what just can't like Trump. They just won't, no matter what. And no matter and and everything he uh does that's positive, they'll find some negative in it. It's crazy to me. Like, okay, my thing is look, here's the president. You you get to elect or or vote again in three years. If you don't like it, change it. But here's here's here's what we got. We suffer through four years of Joe Biden, which we can all agree on both sides. Shit show. So we can we can definitely weather this, and if you don't like it, then then you vote. Yeah, yeah. That's a that's a great thing. Yeah. What I what cracks me up though is like the threat to democracy. I hate that term. They always that's what they they said about Joe, it's a threat to democracy. When the left literally bypassed democracy to get Kamala Harris on the ticket. Yes, Kamala. That's right. And they'll look at you and is it Kamala or no?
SPEAKER_09:It's Kamala. It's Kamala. Kamala. Taylor Swift loves her, by the way. Sorry. They are buddies. I'm sorry. Yeah. That was my favorite. Oh, sorry.
SPEAKER_06:No, go ahead. Yeah, well, yours is better than mine. No, I don't know if it's better. Taylor Swift thought she was a good choice. I don't know if it's better, but I said better, not bigger. I believe, I think in November that Kamala Harris is speaking at the Ryman, and it just struck me wrong.
SPEAKER_08:Really? It shouldn't. Believe that to happen. She's coming to Nashville and has a speaking engagement at the Ryman. We should be more like at a museum or something.
SPEAKER_06:You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_08:Something more it actually should be at a bar.
SPEAKER_06:Like the Smithsonian. Smithsonian.
SPEAKER_05:The Smithsonian. Yeah. It doesn't surprise me at all because they'd love to make Nashville exactly that.
SPEAKER_08:Actually, maybe the Ryman is appropriate because she'll be like all those old country guys that just go over to Tootsie's first, get hammered, and then go speak. She's in the back room. She's in the back room. Let's take a break. We gotta uh get a word from our sponsors. This is a try that the small town podcast. We'll be right back. You know what goes great with small town stories?

SPEAKER_07:Not all the time, though. He also takes bullies me too, though. It's fine.
SPEAKER_08:He's just a big bullet.
SPEAKER_07:Look at his helmet. He's a well he's not I mean he's not exactly normal. I never played it in G, you know. It's funny what happened if we take the the the yeah.
SPEAKER_09:But I never, you know, I got I was gonna do that song for Al Dean.
SPEAKER_06:Since Oh, because the uh Georgia tennis uh Georgia Alabama game a few weeks ago.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Just is what it is. Yeah. What about that Kirby Smart thing? Like like he was uh he was clapping. No, yeah. I mean, that was so crazy.
SPEAKER_09:That was amazing. Everybody claps like this.
SPEAKER_06:I was like, dude, you're so successful. You're on TV.
SPEAKER_09:He got his he got himself in a little little situation.
SPEAKER_06:Did he admit it later or no? But you can't because you can't. He was clapping. You just know what you're gonna say today. He was saying the other team was clapping and throwing off the you know the count, right?
SPEAKER_09:They got him in slow motion going. I know running at the ref.
SPEAKER_06:Like this, yeah.
SPEAKER_09:Clapping, was he clapping for the ref? Good job!
SPEAKER_06:No, I think he I think the story was as he was saying that they were drawing uh drawing him off because they were clapping, like the defense was clapping, trying to throw off. Right. I heard you know, so yeah, yeah. That's well. Yeah, but I don't know.
SPEAKER_09:Anyway, no, we uh we do know about all that. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_06:But but that was like I was embarrassed for him.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, I'm not even I'm not even Georgia fan. It wasn't a good Obi sticks to his guns. It wasn't a good look, but he'll stick to his guns. Yeah, he'll be fine. Speaking of guns, let me ask you guys a question.
SPEAKER_08:Oh boy.
SPEAKER_09:Why why didn't the left call for a gun ban when President Trump was shot?
SPEAKER_08:Well, we know why.
SPEAKER_05:Well, I think they said stuff like that though. Like, didn't they say like it would have happened if there was a gun ban? Stuff like that. I didn't hear that. Yeah. I mean, I think I'm sure I I think I've heard something like that. They've always got it answered on the other. Or like, like, well, he shouldn't have been speaking out there. It's not safe, you know. Never, never it's some of that's pretty alarming.
SPEAKER_09:It never happened. They didn't call for a gun ban when he was shot. And like, man, they just keep on exposing themselves for what they really are. Nonstop. And that's so entertaining for me, and I love it. It just gives us more shit to talk about. It does.
SPEAKER_06:Uh yeah. I will say on on that, this is a long time ago, like after that happened, uh, you did say that uh that God saved him for a reason. And so, obviously several reasons, but you can be thinking that for the hostages we're just talking about for the break getting released, um he's done a lot of good since he's there's no doubt. They know it. They know it.
SPEAKER_09:We could talk about this all day, all night. It's like they they know, and it just I think whether I I think a lot of people whether they voted for him or not will say that he's doing a good job.
SPEAKER_05:I think like all the independents, all the people that came over and voted for him that were on the fence, you gotta feel pretty good about it. You gotta feel pretty good about the economy, you gotta feel pretty good about the markets, you gotta feel pretty even with the markets are pretty resilient, even with all the tariff worry and uh the you know, the markets get shaky every time he says something about the the tariffs, a little dive and come back. Pretty resilient. Like I think overall, everyone who voted for him thinks he's doing a good job.
SPEAKER_08:And let me ask this uh let's go, whatever, eight, nine years ago, I guess it was, when he first announced and came down the elevator. Were you thinking, what the heck? This guy's gonna run for president?
SPEAKER_06:Like, I mean it made me smile.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:In the moment, that's all it is. Like, okay.
SPEAKER_08:I know we all did. Yeah, I mean, I think if you're being honest, you probably thought that.
SPEAKER_05:And you know, honestly, you know what's funny?
SPEAKER_08:Is that because all we knew of him was the apprentice and all that. We didn't know anything about his policies.
SPEAKER_05:What's funny is then I I hate I feel bad for saying this, but I I was just trying to I wasn't as tuned into politics. Yeah. I the it was just ex it was like uh, you know, run of the mill, elections politicians, you know. I didn't wasn't that aware. I remember I remember specifically on the bus, like you guys watching that debate.
SPEAKER_08:And I was one of the very first ones. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:One of the very first ones. And I still wasn't that engaged. Yeah. I was like, because I didn't take politics as seriously. Because it was just to me, it's like, look, you know, here's a president. I it's like nothing seemed to really change no matter what, you know, even no matter how much. There was nothing, you know what I mean? But from then to now, you know, with the You can always tell somebody that does tell when things are out of whack.
SPEAKER_08:You can always tell somebody that's well that's what he ran on. He was just like, we're draining the swamp. I'm gonna do I'm an outsider, I'm not gonna be a politician.
SPEAKER_09:And at first everybody's like, this is a stunt. Yeah, yeah, whatever. He's you know, he definitely not part of the fraternity. Right. Yeah. And by God, he wasn't a part of the fraternity. He absolutely wasn't. And you remember how many, remember how many Republicans he had pissed off that he was running? All of them. They hated him, all of them. They all hated him at first. And then and then he gradually won everybody over as time went on. They're like, oh no, this guy, this guy's for real.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, like half of them are in his cabinet right now. Yeah, I know it. I know it. Little Mark sitting right beside him, you know.
SPEAKER_05:It's crazy though, like like from when he announced that running, and I I don't know how much how serious I took anything in politics of that.
SPEAKER_09:Look at your hair. Well, and you were younger. You spent all your time on your hair.
SPEAKER_05:Seriously, though, like then it was like nothing, even though maybe things are out of whack, it didn't, it wasn't crazy. Stuff got crazy post-COVID. Sure. Crazy. It went from the woke stuff to the you know, Antifa to the border. It like the wheels ran off it. So now you for people like myself who I was never that political, it it doesn't come down to politics, it just comes down to God, what's happening? Yeah, common sense, right.
SPEAKER_08:We kind of said common sense.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. Like that's I feel like you either you have it or you don't. And if you don't, I guess you can rationalize hating Trump for whatever reason, but who wouldn't want a secure border? Obama did. So don't say don't start with that because he was for a tough border, right?
SPEAKER_08:That's what they say, you know, like uh this version of Trump is what you know a lot what a lot of liberals used to run on 15-20 years ago with a border.
SPEAKER_05:Let me ask you guys this question. Was that the big switch with the it felt like from COVID on the media went full on left? Has it always been full on left? I think so. As far as I know. I mean, I I I but has it always been that biased, blindly, like just crazy biased?
SPEAKER_09:No, because No, because they used to just report the news, all of them.
SPEAKER_08:That's what I was gonna say. That was a long time. Uh now it isn't opinion. It wasn't opinionated, didn't it? That's exactly what I was gonna say, Neil. It's like now these shows aren't news and they're opinion-based shows. So Which I'm fine with those shows.
SPEAKER_09:That's we're just we just report the news, right? That's right. We don't we don't give our opinions, right?
SPEAKER_08:Exactly. Especially you, you just are facts. No, facts only. Yes. But people think it's the news is the problem. Right. So watch CNN or MSNBC and think that's the news when I think a lot of people know or those are opinion shows.
SPEAKER_05:And the opinion shows, like, is what it is. Like, fine. What bugs me is when you're watching NBC, a major the the you know, the nightly news and it's blatantly biased.
SPEAKER_08:So I let me say this. I know someone personally who was an anchor on one of our local news stations who had to get out because of that. They just couldn't do it anymore.
SPEAKER_05:See, that that to me is what should be illegal. That's misinformation. You they always say misinformation. That's what that is. Like, what is what are the facts? Deliver the facts. I mean, and I feel like the wheels just ran off post-COVID for sure, but the last few years have been like, come on.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, and you I mean you can deliver the facts and then give your opinion. You can say, here's here it is, and here's what I think. You can do that. But I mean, even if you like for me, I mean I watch Fox News or around the clock. I've watched it so much, I do realize that even the news now is is entertainment also. And they are feeding their base, they're feeding their base, so they're they're either getting you you know mad about something or I'd be the first to say this about Fox.
SPEAKER_08:They do it too. Oh, that's one thing. Yeah, no doubt.
SPEAKER_06:So, yeah, so I'm you're watching something that you can't owe you. Almost can't watch. Yeah, almost can't watch it. I don't blindly trust anything about it. I don't like all of them. Yeah, all of them.
SPEAKER_05:I don't blindly trust if I'm watching Fox. There's plenty of things about Fox that drive me nuts. I don't blindly trust anything. Generally, it's somewhere in the middle. It's just a shame you gotta get there yourself. You gotta okay, you gotta figure out what that truth is in your own mind. Like, okay, well, that sounds crazy. Well, that sounds crazy. Must be somewhere in the middle. Yeah. You know, but just but you know, but deliver the facts, like if something happens, just that's what happened.
SPEAKER_09:Fox lost me when they uh when uh Bruce Jenner was when they got Bruce Jenner on there, and I'm not gonna call him Caitlin. When they when he started becoming correspondent, and they they took that seriously, and that was a serious thing.
SPEAKER_08:Is he currently?
SPEAKER_09:Whenever it was, I don't know if he still is. I have a lot of people. Is he coming back to Bruce, by the way? I don't know. When it was, I would come back to Bruce. They lost me. The comeback. Hey, if Bruce, if Bruce took cut his hair off and he might be making a comeback. I hope he does. I want to see him throw a javelin again. And listen, maybe American grow a javelin again. I meant literally too. Listen. I'm serious. That's when they lost me. And I'm like, they're they're giving this guy a platform, and they're they're serious, they're having serious conversations with it sitting across from me.
SPEAKER_06:I think it's because he was talking about the state of California, and and he was very he is a very reasonable Californian.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but it's a dressed up like a woman in drag. Well, you just have to do it. And it's a serious conversation.
SPEAKER_06:We just have to block that part out.
SPEAKER_03:It's a dude dressed up as a it's a woman, and they're having a serious pretending he's an Olympic. It's pretend time.
SPEAKER_09:I can't pretend anymore. It pisses me off. They lost Fox lost me. I don't even watch anymore. Just watch our podcast.
SPEAKER_05:Well, I do as podcasts.
SPEAKER_06:No, I definitely still do like Fox. I'm watching Jesse Waters. That's that's what I look forward to. He's real, he's for real. I like him because he's he's funny. It's news, but it's funny. There's one just entertained.
SPEAKER_05:I can't watch Fox in the morning anymore because that one guy drives me nuts.
SPEAKER_06:Which one? Which one? I watched the morning.
SPEAKER_05:Tall guy with glasses, bald guy. Uh guy. No, he's not bald. He's got thin hair, but tall in the morning. I don't know. I don't watch it in the morning.

No. Maybe I don't get up early. Jim, can you find this thing? Maybe I don't get up early enough to watch the show that you're watching.
SPEAKER_09:What's he? What's his deal? What's his he got his own show or is he just No no, he's just on the four of them there.
SPEAKER_06:Paul Feinbaum.
SPEAKER_09:That sounds familiar.
SPEAKER_05:That was a whole interesting thing too. I know, right?
SPEAKER_06:Steve Goosey? Yes. Is he the thing guy with the fish? He's a veteran.
SPEAKER_05:He's fine. He just kid.
SPEAKER_06:I mean, it it's in the family.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, that's fine, but he I he ruins it for me in the morning. I'll tell you right now. Bad for I can't see. Yes. Yeah, no good. He's been there for years. It needs to go. Sorry. I haven't seen it. He's it's really he's truly. I don't watch morning news either. I don't either.
SPEAKER_08:Anyway. Because like you said, it's all entertainment. Yeah, I mean, I used to, I mean, you can't even scroll X anymore. Like, it's funny because we have a thread, and we've had a couple people send, hey, oh my god, did you hear this? You know, and it's like, nah, that's a that's a bot generated thing. Yeah, it's you can't trust anything. You can't believe anything.
SPEAKER_09:AI's got you got everybody believing any error anything and everything.
SPEAKER_08:And you know what it is, it's just to agitate people, it's just to get that's right.
SPEAKER_05:So you know you know that hits the most, though. Yeah, clicks. This is what I noticed. Um mother-in-law saint, Christian woman salt of the earth. Trump, one of Trump's biggest haters. Right. We'll never vote for Trump. Um but she's a victim that older generation of like, you know, scrolling Facebook and seeing the It's a lot on Facebook. And the older generation, they their minds don't work like that. If they see something, it's true, that's news. Yeah, and it's not fair to them. And it's it's like they don't they can't like decipher oh that's that's fake. Well, because you see something, you're used to it being a journalistic article and trying to do it. It's really too bad. It's I can look at something and read it and be like, no, that's that's fake. Right.
SPEAKER_08:You know, but like or if you're wondering, you Google it, you do it, you do a very quick search and you can find out very quickly.
SPEAKER_06:So sometimes you click on it, even though you know it's not true. It's like a that can't be true. And then you click on it.
SPEAKER_09:You see how good the AI is. I want to see what how good how good they did, what good a job they did to convince people. It's pretty it's pretty cool.
SPEAKER_08:But it's pretty crazy. That's the what we live in. It's just it's so much misinformation. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:I get yeah, I get my mom calls me all the time, like, heard you guys are playing the White House tomorrow, or heard you guys are playing in Saudi Arabia tomorrow.
SPEAKER_08:Once it came up was the turning point though. Exactly.
SPEAKER_09:The Kid Rock thing. Yeah, it had him it had Kid Rock headlining, and Jason Aldean's name was like it was smaller than somebody else's.
SPEAKER_06:It was like after Dude Maori or something.
SPEAKER_05:It wasn't legit at all. Yeah, so Travis Truett.
SPEAKER_06:Okay, I'm sorry, Travis. Sorry.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, but it's uh that is it is I mean, so much of it, half the stuff is if you look on Facebook, it's fake.
SPEAKER_08:And they know by the algorithms what people will click on and what will agitate them. Yeah so people like that being sent stories. Oh, I can't believe that.
SPEAKER_05:But see, what happens is they'll they'll create these fake things about Trump or something he's doing. And people take that as uh real. And and and to me it's it's really it's it's quite a challenging um time.
SPEAKER_09:I think I think uh the uh the the halftime show with Bad Bunny this year, I think it's gonna be probably the most watched halftime show ever in NFL history. Just because of all the negative publicity that Bad Bunny's gotten. People are just gonna watch it out of curiosity to see how bad it's gonna be.
SPEAKER_05:I think people are really I really am. I think people are fed up with having to be so I don't want to use it triggered, but so pushed at every turn to make a statement. They just want to watch the Super Bowl. They don't want to be thrown in the middle of should Bad Bunny be there, should he not be there? The NFL, they don't, you know. Whatever. If I for one get fatigued with the constant, like you said, they're constantly pushing everybody to the tipping point. Yeah. That's what they're doing. They're they're okay. Things are too calm or NFL season's really good this year. It's great, the games are incredible, you don't know who's gonna win. We know who's gonna lose. I do lately. But like people just love the game. They don't want to have to be constantly turned upside down by yeah, by by someone trying to just can't whatever.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, and I I don't care that much really who's doing the halftime show. Like, I want to watch the commercials, I want to watch the game, and if it's somebody I don't like, then I'm just gonna be eating or whatever.
SPEAKER_05:I mean, I'm not I'm not gonna get we haven't had a good halftime show in a while, let's be honest. No, it's been a long time. You know, the the days of Prince Tom Petty Michael Jackson, I mean, you can go down the list of like icons who have done it and it's what you think Bad Bunny's gonna do on stage.
SPEAKER_09:You think he's gonna do something risque and something he should have?
SPEAKER_08:Or you think he's gonna keep it clean? I I don't know much about him, to be honest. I'm not gonna be able to do it.
SPEAKER_06:But he's go go look him up. The stuff that I'm pretty pretty like Taylor Swift. The majority of his songs seem to be, even though I don't understand uh them because it's a different language, but but it's it's it's love, lost love, hey, you got we both love the same girl, you know. I mean, I don't see I mean I I don't know anything that's terrible about it.
SPEAKER_09:But there's nothing in English, right? You gotta you gotta dig a little bit.
SPEAKER_06:I mean you may be watching the video, but I but I listened to and looked at the lyrics of you know, the explanation of a few of them.
SPEAKER_05:I think it's probably because he said he was never gonna play in the US again. He came out and said that, like he wasn't gonna. I can't remember if that was a an ice-related thing or whatever. It was.
SPEAKER_08:He was saying he didn't want to to subject his fans to possible ice.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_08:Well, because that's that's what they're doing.
SPEAKER_05:Hey, look, I got ten in my neighborhood.
SPEAKER_06:Don't come out in the streets during this time. I tell you this, for no known reason.
SPEAKER_09:That's a dude. That's him right there.
SPEAKER_06:That's him?
SPEAKER_09:That's him.
SPEAKER_08:Hold on.
SPEAKER_06:That's Jason Whitlock. Oh my god, breaking news. I didn't know. He's been on the drill.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, no, and I'm not endorsing whacked in the world.
SPEAKER_06:I'm just saying musically, I feel like because he is, I think he's the number one streaming artist in the world. I think a lot of people are probably gonna watch it and they want to see it.
SPEAKER_05:I have no idea what it's gonna look like, but well, I don't uh there will be, believe me, there'll be a lot of people. We can't exist in fighting a battle at every turn. Let's have a guy on that hates America. Let's do it. You just you can't we can't exist this way, like constantly having to go to battle every time something at some point you just want to live. It's just now we could be it's good for us if we talk about it. But it is it is you're right, it's a Super Bowl. Just be like, whatever. Just yeah. I mean play the game, let you know, have friends over. Should be fun. I think people are are sick and tired of constantly having to to take a side. It's like if they I don't like the decision. If they don't know nothing, if they're doing stupid shit, to be fair.
SPEAKER_09:It wouldn't be an issue. But they keep they they're the ones that keep doing it. Well, to be fair, the right the right does not inject people in there that's controversial. Only the left does that. Only the left is controversial. Only the left. The right is never controversial, ever. Well, I don't think you can I don't think you can say that. Absolutely. Name one. Name one from the right that's caused a fuss, like this bad bunny transvestite guy. Tell me.
SPEAKER_05:Who? You don't have just because you think you're right or we think we're right, doesn't mean it's not being controversial. Because someone else doesn't agree with you. So right away. Think Trump is controversial. So Trump's yeah, exactly. So with what?
SPEAKER_04:Well, Neil from their perspective. From their perspective. But their what? I'm just telling you their perspective.
SPEAKER_03:Well, well, it would be their perspective is like immoral as hell. No, but what are you talking about?
SPEAKER_06:It's as simple, as simple as you think they're crazy, they think you're crazy. Yes.
SPEAKER_09:Okay, maybe controversial is the wrong word. Let's talk about morality. They bring the immoral into the into the conversation. We do not. But they don't think so.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_09:God, I don't know how you defend them something. It's not I don't know how y'all defend the left. That's not a defense.
SPEAKER_05:I'm just saying, I'm saying why they think why they're there's plenty of things they point to that they say.
SPEAKER_09:So you hear something are y'all saying that it's okay then? Is that what you're meant to be?
SPEAKER_06:No, wait. What's okay? What do you think?
SPEAKER_09:You think that's okay? I'm not sure. No, I'm not saying why they're why they think I don't know how I don't I'm so I'm not gonna defend it at all. It's art, music, or nothing. I'm not defending it.
SPEAKER_05:You're being very, very moral. Lana Take it down. Take it down. Where's Lana? No, you're being moral, but you're just you're not understanding what we're saying. Yeah, it's actually two different uh points. Just like just like you're passionate right here, they're this way, so they're thinking that you're the problem, you think they're the problem. So I'm the problem with I'm not saying you're the problem. But why'd they think that?
SPEAKER_08:They're saying I'm the problem with what? What's my problem, though? The point is that you're saying, what did we ever do that's controversial? Yeah, what's my problem? They think Trump is controversial. Yes. They think uh not including everybody is controversial. They I'm just saying that's their perspective. That's their perspective. I'm not saying it's right. That's their perspective. We're just saying why they get fired up as well I get that.
SPEAKER_09:That's common sense. I get that. Yeah. My statement was they're the only ones that bring anything immoral into the public eye. They're the only ones. The right never brings anything immoral into the public eye ever. Yeah, we hide it. We never do. Kalo and I don't think any halftime show that that had Travis Tritt and all these guys coming up there and just singing their country music was immoral. Bad Bunny is immoral. When you put him on the stage and put him in the limelight for the whole world to see him wearing a pair of fake T's or whatever he's gonna do. Whatever.
SPEAKER_07:I didn't know that. We got him saying he does. We should probably know if he does, though.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I didn't in my limited research. I just showed you a picture of him.
SPEAKER_09:I don't think that was.
SPEAKER_06:In my limited research, I didn't find that. And I'm not saying he's he's a great guy. I have no idea, but look here. In just learning about it, it was mainly music, and it was very common topics.
SPEAKER_09:So that's that's not bad bunny right there with fake. That's Jason Whitlock. You see the girl right here? You see the girl right here, guys? Are y'all blind? That's it, that right there.
SPEAKER_08:I don't so I've never seen that.
SPEAKER_09:Isn't it?
SPEAKER_06:I haven't seen that. Yeah. Never seen that.
SPEAKER_09:He's in a dress, and there he is right there, too. It just keeps going picture to picture. You know, I feel like he was He's a freaking drag queen. I feel like he was put here at a so are you. Yeah, let's let's put a drag queen on the halftime show that hates America over Travis Tritt or over Jason Aldean. Yeah.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I think Jason Aldeen. I'm there.
SPEAKER_06:I'm I'm weird. No, no, no, no, we're not saying you're weird. I'm just saying I I haven't I didn't haven't pulled those up. So I wasn't expecting, and I'm not expecting a drag queen to come out at the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_09:He can't wait.
SPEAKER_06:So maybe it maybe it'll happen.
SPEAKER_09:I don't know.
SPEAKER_06:He can't wait to stick it to all of us.
SPEAKER_09:He can't wait. Well, I mean And Roger Goodell's gonna eat it. Yeah, but he you know what? Roger Roger Goodell doesn't care.
SPEAKER_05:I I haven't watched the halftime show and decided to say in a while just because it's not not really not to our yeah, yeah, it's not music we gravitate to.
SPEAKER_06:And besides here, is is there a national outrage about Bad Bunny? Like is there the halftime showing? A lot of the players don't want it.
SPEAKER_05:I mean, it it's gonna be the it should be about the game. And for some reason we just can't let things be.
SPEAKER_08:I I I like that. And I agree.
SPEAKER_05:It should be the the players play a very violent game for what, eighteen game, eighteen, twin, twenty games through the playoffs or whatever. It should be about the game. But now it's not going to be because it's all this. And I don't get it. It's just I would love to get back to just living life the way we we all want to live it. I'm not saying that one way is that we know everything and we're perfect. We're not. I'm not, that's for sure. But like I do miss just a little bit of like just of the the dust settling.
SPEAKER_08:Well, like you said, not having to take a side on everything. Well, who everything's to take sides on.
SPEAKER_05:Of course, but some of the stuff's like enough's enough. Like it's not.
SPEAKER_09:But dust wouldn't be flying if it wasn't for the left. That's my point. It wouldn't be flying if it wasn't for the left. Well, I agree. I think that's the one. They're the ones that start all this shit and they make us react like we're reacting.
SPEAKER_05:But it always feels like the the people that are making the decisions, when you say the left to me, it's like the decision makers do it. Like the you know, the politicians, uh whether I'm not sure how this worked out with Bad Bunny or who said, I guess Goodell, I don't know. But the owners must have agreed. It's Jay-Z. Do they have do they have do you think the owners have any say in that?
SPEAKER_06:Jay-Z is in charge of the I would say. But I don't I don't think so. And I would say they're trying to do the thing that makes the most amount of money.
SPEAKER_08:Well, and listen, we're talking about it. Everybody's talking about it. That we're talking about mission accomplished on their end, right? That's it. That's Bad Bunny War. Everybody's gonna watch Bad Bunny.
SPEAKER_04:I definitely probably won't watch Bad original point you're putting up.
SPEAKER_06:Well, I'm gonna watch it. I can't wait to watch it. I do want to watch now because I want to see.
SPEAKER_08:We're proving their point of them. Absolutely pretty we're suckers, see. We're sucker, we just got suckered. You let us get suckered?
SPEAKER_06:That's why they're billionaires and we have a podcast that doesn't make any money.
SPEAKER_09:Yep. Now we're gonna watch Bad Bunny. You're right. But it's it's it just shows you how much filth sells. And it does. And he's filthy. The dude's filthy. I don't know anything about him, but I you are right with the other. He's a horrible example for the people, for the kids, especially the children that are gonna be watching the halftime show. He's a horrible example.
SPEAKER_08:Maybe that's why we need turning point to or somebody to do one alternative uh halftime show.
SPEAKER_06:I wonder how that will how that will go. You know, like can they can you pull off several million people, you know, change the channel or on their phone, you know, whatever, watching that as opposed to the halftime show. I don't know. Yeah, and if you did, the only way it'd affect anything really wouldn't affect anything, I don't think, financially, because the spots have already been paid for. Spots have already been paid. So it's not like they're gonna lose money if they change the channel. That's right.
SPEAKER_08:If they see that people are tuning out.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:It's gonna be interesting to see. It is gonna be interesting.
SPEAKER_05:It's gonna be very right about that. Yeah. Again, it's just a lot. We don't have to, I just wish it wasn't I wish we can go back a little bit where it's like, God, does it have to be so everything's so polarizing to each other?
SPEAKER_08:I miss Mayberry. That's what you made me think of. Mayberry, yeah. The rascal flashback. Did you write that?
SPEAKER_07:No, no.
SPEAKER_08:Caleb?
SPEAKER_07:That's a good note. Any of you? That's great when things were really good.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah. Who would y'all like to see on the halftime show?
SPEAKER_08:Okay, good question.
SPEAKER_06:Morgan Wallen.
SPEAKER_08:Well, from a pure number standpoint, it'd be hard to argue. It'd be hard to argue.
SPEAKER_06:You'd him and some of his friends, you know, have Hardy coming up.
SPEAKER_05:Morgan, Morgan would probably be for the the base of the football fans.
SPEAKER_08:Do you think they asked Taylor to do it? You do?
SPEAKER_05:They did? I'd be surprised that they they wouldn't have, just because she is. There's really none bigger when you start thinking about she may be too big for the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_06:Who knows?
SPEAKER_09:Wow. Yeah, there's not enough young girls watching the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_06:Money? Okay, not enough. Not enough money.
SPEAKER_09:Really?
SPEAKER_06:Oh, nothing?
SPEAKER_02:That's what I read.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, it's almost like the cheerleaders. They get like 50 bucks a game or something like that.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, it's just like that. Who would you besides Morgan? Who else? I mean, who else would be on your list?
SPEAKER_08:That's a good question, Neil. I mean, Jason Aldean, let's go.
SPEAKER_09:But you know. Now that would be watched and the numbers would be huge. Huge. Man, you put us. Huge. Huge. Huge.
SPEAKER_05:Um, you know. Do you have anybody in mind? It's hard to pull the, you know, I was thinking like the big icons, you know, that I don't know how much they would draw. Like, you know, if you had like a Billy Joel and you had to be a good one. I know. I was thinking of the Eagles. You know, but but then that's that's that's not gonna pull the younger them, which is what is what they want to do.
SPEAKER_08:And that's kind of why they brought in Jay-Z, by the way. Right. Now they made a mistake the last couple of years that before Jay-Z came in, it was like the Who, which honestly, I don't want to see the Who. I don't like the Super Bowl happening.
SPEAKER_05:Not good, not good.
SPEAKER_08:Uh and I forget who it was before that, but so it was already starting to decline, and that's kind of why they brought Jay-Z.
SPEAKER_05:And it's harder to find those icons now, too, that can I mean guy, we're getting old. So, like, you know, I mean, I get them wanting to. And the bad bunny thing, if this wasn't so controversial, I get it because the NFL is trying hard to make this a worldwide sport. They do games all year overseas. Which I hate, but yes, they are. So that was like, okay, well, they're just doing that with a halftime show.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, you know, and it's they picked the most anti-American. Now it's they're talking about doing a Super Bowl. I know it.
SPEAKER_08:They're talking about doing a Super Bowl in line.
SPEAKER_09:It's like it's like they intentionally went and found somebody that hated America that was weird. They intentionally did it. And there's so many good big pop young artists out there that could have done it.
SPEAKER_05:Now there wasn't there was an unfortunate video of Bad Bunny pop up the other night of him sitting down at the Yankee game.
SPEAKER_08:Oh, okay. Remind me it he didn't stand. He didn't stand.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, and I can't remember if I think it might have been for the America the beautiful book.
SPEAKER_08:Now we're learning some stuff. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that is unfortunate.
SPEAKER_05:He's making a point that he hates America.
SPEAKER_06:That he's already got the contract for the Super Bowl and he doesn't have to worry about it.
SPEAKER_05:I I get it in the sense that what that kind of sucks that we're forced to swallow this pill. That it is it sucks.
SPEAKER_08:It's like I you know Neil, I'm going back to your thing. Like my dad would say, bring me solutions, not problems. So who would yeah, who would do the Super Bowl? I'm still trying to think.
SPEAKER_05:You're talking about the biggest action. You got Taylor Swift, you got Morgan. Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:Jason, Al Dean would have been the premier. Well, look, I here's a thing. To do the halftime show.
SPEAKER_08:I mean, it is a fastball for America. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah. If you if you want to do something cool, you would do, you know, Morgan, Luke Combs, Us. You do like three, three, four songs. Maybe you have an Eric Church up there.
SPEAKER_06:That wasn't so hard, was it? You know, or maybe me and Neil opening a couple of things.
SPEAKER_05:The problem's this though. That's too American. Oh, yeah. Too American for the network. God forbid. It's like they don't there is there's a piece to that. Oh, yeah. 100%. Yeah, so that's that's does get me very fired up. Yeah. I don't know why we why Neil got you fired up again. Neil got me fired up again. I I'm I'm talking about dust settling and I'm kicking it up. So what about it is wildly frustrating? Now now. What were you gonna ask it?
SPEAKER_06:Oh no, it was it was just gonna be you're you're talking about being all fired up. I was wondering about plunge pools. What do you guys think about plunge pools? I mean, geez. Does anybody have one? No, I don't, but I want to get one. I'm interested. I'm starting to research. Have you ever done it? No. Uh my brother has, and he told me that I was gonna waste my money. He said, I I would imagine that.
SPEAKER_05:There's definitely a significant shrinkage.
SPEAKER_06:But he said, he first off said, yes, I want you to get one, and he realized the reason why is because I would get one, I would get in at one time, and then I would just give it to him and he wouldn't have to buy one. But uh he said, he said, just just take a cold shower. You know, like in no, he said to see and see if you can even take that.
SPEAKER_08:I've been a disagree with his logic though.
SPEAKER_06:Okay.
SPEAKER_08:Cold shower is awful.
SPEAKER_06:Okay.
SPEAKER_08:Awful. Cold bath is better. Do the cold bath because for some the shower with the It's not it's different.
SPEAKER_09:It is different. I can get in an ice bath before I can get under a cold, just a little cold shower.
SPEAKER_06:And put any bubbles in there or anything, or just straight up bath. I hadn't had a bath since I was eight. Like bath. Like in a men don't take baths. Really? Yeah, tub.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah. Men don't take baths. I don't think so. No. Not since you were little, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Jim, do you take a bath? Uh okay. Never mind.
SPEAKER_06:How long has it been since you've washed your back?
SPEAKER_08:Since I washed my back.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. This is silly.
SPEAKER_08:I can reach my back. Never.
SPEAKER_06:And and what goes wrong? Nothing. Nothing goes wrong.
SPEAKER_08:What's the washing back? What's up with that?
SPEAKER_06:I don't know. People say you gotta wash your back. I'm like, I can't get back there. Who has a script? I don't have a script. He was just a little heavy. I just wanted to break it out.
SPEAKER_05:But get the cold plunge.
SPEAKER_06:Because there's apparently a lot of health benefits, you know, metabolism and all that stuff.
SPEAKER_09:Do both. Well, cold's good for recovery. KK do both.
SPEAKER_06:And it speeds up, you know, because it burns calories too. Well, we just do both burns calories. I would have to get your body back up. Right.
SPEAKER_09:When I went to kicking camp, when I was at kicking camp, every day I kicked 500 balls a day. And every night I had to get in an ice bath and just sit there, and the recovery was amazing. The next day I felt like I hadn't done anything the day before.
SPEAKER_05:I watched Ian Munsecchic. I watched Ian Munsick the singer get into a cold plunge and it petrified him.
SPEAKER_08:How and why did you watch Ian Munsick get into a Watershed subscription? We were playing Watershed.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, live in person you saw him do it. No, I saw it in person. So we were we were at we were playing Watershed, great festival. Um BLC, love you, incredible. Um at the gorge. Yeah. And so this year um he had uh a little like amazing little gym set up overlooking the gorge. Yeah, I heard there was a great lunch. Treadmills out there working out, and they had a coal plunge tub that left. And I'm on the treadmill, and here comes Ian Munsick, and he's sitting there looking at it. It must be his tour manager, and there you could I could see him kind of like thinking about it. Then he got in it. Oh, it didn't last long.
SPEAKER_08:Well, I'll I'll say this. I have done it once, I do want to do it more, and I would like to get one but with a sauna.
SPEAKER_05:Can you just do it in your tub?
SPEAKER_08:You can, but you uh it doesn't quite get as cold as you need it or want, but when you first get in the first 30 seconds, miserable. Absolutely miserable. And part of it is health benefits, part of it's uh mental you know strength as well. I have weak mental strength.
SPEAKER_06:So would you plunge then then the sauna? Is that the if you if you're I haven't done that, but I think that is a good thing to do.
SPEAKER_08:Sounds like a like a pneumonia. But if you can get past the first 30 seconds, then you you kind of feel this slight calmness against the freezing goal.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I mean people swear by it, so yeah, you know.
SPEAKER_08:I do have friends that do it a lot. Like a lot that swear by it.
SPEAKER_05:Do you have friends? Are they professional athletes or do we need a call print?
SPEAKER_08:They are not professional athletes.
SPEAKER_05:They are my son's friends' dads.
SPEAKER_08:Okay. Okay, gotcha. Anyway, get one. We'll uh we'll go to K.
SPEAKER_06:I don't know. I don't know if I'm gonna because Rachel says I will be. I mean you're rich. I've always been rich. Yeah.
SPEAKER_08:You've always been rich.
SPEAKER_06:You're the richest one you're no, that's crazy talk.
SPEAKER_08:Neil, you're gonna send us out on something.
SPEAKER_06:You guys have the the screaming single. Neil and I, we've got nothing. Nothing. Except for that.
SPEAKER_09:What is this? What is it? I just found the cord.
SPEAKER_08:Oh. You found the minor. I did. That's amazing.
SPEAKER_09:You sure that was it? Yeah, that was it. I don't know. Sounded good to me. It was it. Uh so no bet, so no bet on the all that's gonna be. I don't want to wear colors, though. Like, I don't want to wear a brand new set of golf clubs. Uh no, I don't need them. New gun, new pistol. I got plenty.
SPEAKER_05:And it's expensive. I got plenty of clubs. Hey, I got guns.
SPEAKER_07:I've got it. No.
SPEAKER_05:If if Neil wins, you gotta get Neil like a beautiful pistol Alabama on the handle, Crimson Tide. And vice versa, if Klo, you gotta get the Tennessee. That'd be amazing. You're talking about expensive, though.
SPEAKER_06:Like very expensive. Uh maybe I don't have the reciprocal of this. If you're the one with a single on the charts, if Tennessee wins, then maybe we can't afford that right now. Maybe you sing Rocky Top on the podcast. If Tennessee wins, you can sing Rocky Top on the podcast.
SPEAKER_09:I don't like any of these. I'll sing it. I'll sing it. You gonna sing Sweet Home Alabama?
SPEAKER_06:I don't know.
SPEAKER_05:No, if Neil loses, he's gonna wear a bad bunny t-shirt.
SPEAKER_02:You don't sing.
SPEAKER_05:No, I don't think I want to sing. Let's do a real bet. Something, I mean, you guys. Give us something. I just did. If Neil loses, he has to wear a bad bunny t-shirt in town. I love bad bunny. That's a good one.
SPEAKER_08:Make a clip of this. That's a good one. Put it on Instagram immediately, and then we'll know what to do.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. Yeah.
