Speaker 1 (00:01):
Juicys Hot God, every stay on top in the Woodshove.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Have you guys ever heard of the musician Gavin Adcock.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
No, no, I have not.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Oh from the BC Boys, King ad Cock, different guy, oh.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
And h Gavin Adcock clearly is more like Gavin subtrack
Cock from Our Life, right because we don't really know
who he is.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Oh yeah, that was great math.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
He's twenty six, He's a country music singer. He does
have a Wikipedia page, so, uh, you know that's probably
good man.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I think we have a Wikipedia page. I would be curious.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
So, I mean, if there's there's probably a lot of
hardcore or people listening who do listen to country music
who are aware of this fella. I just never heard
of him. I'm not following the beat that closely though.
Here he is at a show, and uh, I think
the backstory here is that Beyonce won Best Country Album
last year for Cowboy Carter and it has upset a

(01:07):
lot of people in the country music industry.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
And here is him and his concert.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
I'm on the app Music Country charts and one of
them is Beyonce.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
You can tell that we're coming for.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Country music in every band country I know whoop.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
About to play all some southern rock y'all hit that. Wait,
you're gonna play southern rock?

Speaker 6 (01:35):
You're complaining of her? Or not make the country music.
This is just a clan rally. And here's how you know.
Uh no, no, no, uh. There's lots of people you
know that love country music and can talk about the
history of country music and what's been coming out of
Nashville for the last fifteen years, Ain't that Nope? And

(01:56):
so much so that it was effortless, I mean effortless
for the biggest star in the world to go from
country to shake him off. So the whole point is
that this has nothing to do with music. This just
has to do with a bitter white man that doesn't
like black people doing well. Because he could have gone
on stage and said that about any number of white

(02:16):
people out of Nashville for the last decade and a half,
and maybe he has.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
This is the only time.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
I've ever heard of Gavin Adcock much less hurt his
drunken hillbilly voice. But this has been a comp I
mean your folks, for example, Christina, they grew up and
I know your folks, he grew up liking certain country
music and then it changed. And then I have a
friend that I used to hire to do production music

(02:44):
work that was a heavy metal guitar player. He moved
to Nashville and started working on Nashville Country because it
was easy because of the sound of it and how
pop it became. So this is about nothing but a guy,
not this is about a guy hating on a very
successful black lady.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, there was.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I mean again, maybe I'm projecting, but there seem to
be racist overtones there where it's like, why why like
play it again?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Let's can you start it and stop it too?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Turn on the app music country charts and one of
them is Beyonce.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
You can tell her coming from our stuff.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
We're coming for her for what reason? That part sounds
like they're going to show her. Yeah, man, hey, they're
going to put her in her place. That makes me
real uncomfortable. For what reason? It was a great album.
It's country music, So so you're angry with her for what?
That's the big missy. Okay, keep that gull on. That's
that's the classic we don't like your kind around.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, and she's killing his ass in the charts right
that country music and bad country. Okay, stop it.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Ain't country music, and it ain't never been country music.
What what does that mean? So if an African American
person makes country music, it's not country music.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
What what are you really saying? It's really easy to
think that's what he's saying. Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Okay, he's about to gear up and go into some
southern rock, right yeah okay.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
But also she's got a song with post Malone. Post
Malone has a country album that just came out, and.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
This is about a guy being upset that a successful
black woman did something in his field.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Were about to play all some southern rock.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
That's not country music either, but again it's a reference
to the South.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, you know, did he drive there? In the general league?
You know, it's like, what, by the way, she's from Houston.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
This guy's the guy who's got a song title we
Love Football.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Okay, I might be in on this guy.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
He's got a song title Tore Me Up, which is
about a burrito. Apparently his most popular song is called
run your Mouth.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Oh okay, So he's just promoting that. See when I
first Suggarette, when I saw this headline, I was like,
he's just doing this to you know, like the yes
like the damn it we classic wrestler bit, Yeah, we
fell for it.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Oh he's the heel. Yeah, we should not have put
that on. We fell for it.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
I think he's pandering because he thinks that to that
crowd that's there to see his show, that that that
they want to hear.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
Man.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's just ugly to me. What has been the reaction?

Speaker 6 (05:18):
I think people are going, who, okay, how's his album
Hillbillies and Hoods doing?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Oh my god? Staring through these holes? All right?

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Coming up next, so we crank up the wayback machine.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
What crime did I commit on the radio?

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Well, I guess I'll find out in a matter if
three or four minutes don't go anywhere.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
That's next
