(07:08):
nineteen nineties terrible and filling that lyric. I would like to start off with
Classic Country Questions, Best of luckto everybody. You may ask one quick
question of the quiz master. Yeah, so if I get the question wrong,
does the other opponent have an opportunityto steal? Why not? And
does that go both ways? Andmay it may not apply to every question?
(07:30):
Uh? Yeah, you may havea true or false in there.
Now there's no true or false.So yes, okay, yes they're all
stealable. Okay, Vin, wekeep score absolutely, Kevin, all right,
Danny's up. First question one inClassic Country Questions? Which song gave
Loretta Lynn her first number one countryhit? This is multiple choice? Was
it don't come home a drinking withloving on your mind? By the way,
(07:54):
these are all real. I didn'tmake up any because there's a wild
one here. Uh was it youain't woman enough to take my man?
Or was it three fist city byou you ain't woman enough to take my
man? That is not correct,Kevin for the steal don't come home and
(08:18):
drinking with loving on your mind?That was a point for only texts his
own Kevin Turner, Congratulations, Kevin, you have control of the board.
You know how. I know that'sbecause I listened to the Rolling Stone Top
five hundred albums of all Time,and you listen to all of them.
I had a couple of reda Winalbums on there. Well done. Yeah
that was a COVID project. Okay, yeah, I'll take nineties Country Tend
(08:39):
nineteen nineties ninety terrible. Kevin namedfour albums released by Garth Brooks Rope in
the Wind, Garth Brooks, LowFences and Scarecrow or no, no,
sorry, sorry, no Fences andScarecrow. He had like a hundred.
(09:01):
I'm gonna give you three of those. I'm not gonna give you one that's
just called Garth Brooks. Okay,and can I try and yes another one?
Then? Oh dude, this isso frustrating to me. Gosh.
The album covers were terrible too.You have four minutes, four minutes?
(09:26):
Oh god, o'clock. What wasthe red one? What's the red one?
The red one? Oh? Ithink I'm looking at the red one,
the red one, because there's Iwas running No Fences, No Fences
nineteen ninety, Roping the Wind wasthe blue one? Roping the Wind ninety
one? He has a stripe atblue and black crown and he's holding onto
his belt buckle with oh this isso and you got get frustrating, you
(09:48):
got scarecrow. I'll go with that. Yeah, two thousand and one,
late in the game, I'll gowith that. I'll say, Uh,
Jesus, this sucks. You havethree and a half minutes left, Okay,
I'll say, uh, I ain'tgoing down till the sun comes up.
He didn't name it this album thatI'm not seeing that on this list.
(10:11):
I'm looking at you are in.I guess if it's name one album
that he hasn't named, you getthe point. I'm gonna go with Greatest
Hits if you know what, nocome on for multiple reasons. The first
(10:31):
thing I didn't give him Garth Brooksbecause the title of an album. The
second Brooks, no, no,I would have given you had you said
the Ultimate Hits, which was thetitle, or nineteen ninety fours the hits,
the hits which he didn't choose.Either of those. I don't know.
Some other ones you may have.The red one is in pieces,
okay, in pieces you miss sevenssevens okay. This is one because it
(10:56):
has the black and white thing,the chase, the Chase Fresh horses.
That's one of the horses. Yeah, that's like in the place in Florida
that said fresh barbecue that I couldn'tget over. He had an album called
fun hell Yeah, and then theuh, The Life and Times of Chris
Gaines. That's why he's the realking of country music. But that wasn't
(11:18):
really a Garth Brooks record. Idon't care who got the point, just
nobody. Kevin won nothing. Meand David at there and Murphy have won.
Danny and his buddy Alvin and Rockwallhave zero. We're looking for the
king country music, Danny. Let'stry to get a point with classic country.
Mike Willie Nelson's battered old Martin guitarwas called what God bless? Trigger?
(11:48):
That is correct. Trigger. Thatwas great. He kind of just
looked at the ceiling and then hegot it. Impressive. One to one
is the score. Kevin Turner,you have control to the Wheelhouse nineties nineteen
nineties ninety percent terrible. Which countryartists debut single was Independence Day in nineteen
ninety four? Martina McBride. Hedoes not need the multiple choice options because
(12:11):
I didn't know how that was.That's correct. Two to one team nineties
questions, Danny, you're a bigblind spot for the ning. Let's stay
with classic. Had a feeling thismight be how though this is tough.
The category selections worked generational. Whichcountry star holds the world record for more
number one hit singles than any otherartist in the history of music? With
sixty number one hits? Is thisclassic? Classic country? Number one?
(12:37):
I have? I have multiple choice? Yeah? Please? I mean these
are monsters. It is? Isit George Strait? Is it George Jones?
Is it Dolly Parton? This countrystar more number one hit singles than
any other artist in the history mssixty of them. It's it's got to
be Dolly, right, I don'tknow. I gotta go with Dolly.
That is incorrect, man, It'sthe very, very good, but slightly
(13:05):
overrated George Strait is George straight?That is right? You think of him
as classic, A lot of himas nineties. So do that to the
question nineties is classic? Now?Yeah, that's true. Well, now
the categories are all screwed up.If that's the case, categories our classic
country questions, nineties music or theuntouched filling that lyricles? Let's touch it?
(13:26):
You want to touch it. Let'stouch it, Kevin turned filling that
