You got anything? No? Uhso this is unscripted with JT. Bosh.
Unscripted is just another word for sayingunprepared. Should we apologize an advancer?
Okay, yes, welcome, I'mJT. Bosh. Hannah is with
me. Hannah works at Q oneoh four point one from time to time

(00:25):
in one of our other radio stations. How are you. I'm great,
mister Bosh. How are you?I am well, thank you, mister.
The little context on that. Ihave a listener who calls me sweet
little old lady, but she'll alwaysleave me a mess. Yes, hello,
mister Bosh. I need to meether one day. She sounds like
the greatest human being on the plane. And that's the only story I know

(00:45):
about her. Sweet I love her, but she'll call up and ask questions
about things on our talk station.I'm like, I don't know, Ladies
call blend beeck yourself million. Idon't know, but she is the sweet
lady. Hello, mister Bosh.So what I want to talk about today?
First and foremost, we know who'sgoing to the Super Bowl. We

(01:06):
do Kansas City Chiefs and the fortynine ers. I'm not very happy.
I was hoping it was going tobe the Lions were do we all?
I think the only people who wantedSan Francisco to go to the Super Bowl
were people who lived within like afour hour radius of San Francisco. Oh.
I don't even think people in SanFrancisco care, really, I just
I don't like, just to me, it seems like people they're just kind
of like, whatever, it's afootball yet. Okay, So I used

(01:27):
to live in Niners Country, andI'm going to politely disagree with you.
Okay, it's crazy. No,granted it wasn't in San Francios Goo I
lived, because I'm never living inthe state of California. That's neither here
nor there. But I've been seeinga lot of hype about it on socials.
Oh yes, I was glad tosee the Chiefs win. You were,
Yeah, because I've gotten caught upin that whole you know, Travis

(01:49):
the trailer, the Kelsey Brothers thing. Oh okay, I've gotten caught up
in that, And I just thinkit's funny watching diehard old football guys be
very mad because they show pictures ofTaylor Swift. Who cares? So this
is my take on it, Likethose two want to be a couple.
I think it's great. She's talented. I literally have nothing bad to say

(02:09):
about either one of them. Ijust think it's like, yes, show
her once, show her twice.Cool. I just think it's getting to
be like when someone else like ajPacheco. Pacheco, like when he scores
a touchdown, how come it doesn'tpan to a picture of his family.
You get what I'm saying. Becauseit's Taylor Swift. She's the biggest celebrity
in the world. But did yousee during the game on Sunday they panned

(02:30):
to her promoting like the Grammys,and she was like, please go away,
like she didn't want the camera onher and sure, and I just
like, let her And this ismy point, let her. Let her
just be herself and enjoy the game. And like to constantly have a camera
in your face all the time hasto be annoyed. Oh, I'm sure,
but she signed up for it.I don't want to hear not wrong.

(02:50):
That's like win in the lottery andthen bitch and that you gotta pay
taxes. I know, I don't. Well here, as you know,
taxation is one of the greatest theftsin this country. That's that's an ever
story for every But you know I'ma celebrity. Please let me alone.
No, you're a celebrity, Shutup. I just want to know why
are we so like this is aquestion for everyone. Why are we so
fascinated by her love life? Likeshe's just being a thirty some on your

(03:13):
girl, dating her way through it. Why are we so fascinated by the
Kardashians. Why are we fascinated asa country about a lot of crash And
this is like a deeper question thatwe're not going to dive into on this
podcast. But Frank, my boyfriend, Slash jt'sbff, brought this up last
night when Carrie Underwood was dating MikeFisher, Like you didn't see her at
every game. It was like,oh, carry Underwood Mike Fisher and he's
like huge in the NHL. Becauseit's hockey, no one cares. I'm

(03:35):
going to letely disagree. I'm goingto totally agree that it's hockey, football
or hockey. What are you watching? I'm from Minnesota. I think you
know the answer to that. Ofcourse you're from it. But in the
grand scheme of things, that's likesaying, you know, hockey or baseball,
really I mean, sorry, you'rea baseball fan. You want to
know the most boring seventeen hours ofa day of baseball. I think I

(03:58):
sleep during one once. I'm nottoo proud. It was at a National's
game and I was like dozing offand I went, oh, he missed
the ball, and Franklin's over.He goes, are you sleeping because the
ball is still in the picture's hand, and I'm like, oh, oh,
well, well, there's a newsstory out that I got on one
of the emails. Taylor Swift spottedat Chiefs Ravens AFC championship game. Really,

(04:20):
I'm shocked spotted. But did youhear spotted? Can I go down?
I was firmly looked at a lot. Can I go down the rabbit
hole? She was looked out alot because they've analyzed her outfit and she
had on a black jacket and she'sback to sporting the reputation haircut, which
means reputation. Taylor's urgeon is goingto be going out, Zude. She
is a very smart gosh right,and where she's come from, very humble

(04:44):
upbringing. I know where she's from. Why I'm missing Pennsylvania. Her family
sold their Christmas Tree Farm to moveto Nashville to make her a star.
By the way, because she movedto Nashville and she was like what twelve
thirteen. Like, if I wentto my parents and I'm like, mom
and Dad, I want to moveto Nashville. I'm going to be a
superstar one day, they would laughat me and look at how it worked
out for them. I'm like,dang, like parents of the Year right

(05:05):
there. Well, you know theywere right to do it, right obviously.
Yeah, my parents are like,hey, I want to go to
the movies. Get a ride?Right? Do you got money to pay
for it on your own? Ratin there walk. I saw her her
Heirs tour, fantastic. You know, I haven't seen her live since she
opened for Rascal Flats, And I'mtalking that was all back when Eric Church

(05:28):
got kicked off the tour. Yeah, two thousand and nine, and she
was She's great. No, Imay have seen No, I did see
her when she played with Ed Sheeran, I know, Florida Georgian when she
was still kind of straddling the countrywhen she was on the Red Tour.
Yes, I saw like the lasttwenty minutes of that show and I was
like whoa. And then to seethe Heirs tour and I'm not as swiftie
by any means, Like, godo your thing, girl, I'm not
knocking you, but like, afterwatching that, I can I tell you

(05:51):
what I did. What I ordereda sweatshirt last week. I paid.
The stays between you and I andeveryone who's listening. And if Frank finds
out about this, I'm coming foryou, Jake him. I spent seventy
dollars on a Tailor Swift Era's toursweatshirt because I really wanted it when I
was at the show, but Ididn't get it, and I bought it
and I'm waiting for it to come. You know what you're allowed. Last

(06:12):
I checked, you're not married.Yeah, it's my money and I'll do
with it what I want to.Then why are you trying to hide it?
Because if he finds out that Ispent that much money on a tailor
Swift sweatshirt, I'm gonna get likea look, not a look of that's
how you spend your money, butmore of a that's how you spend your
money. But he spends seventy dollarson his motorcycle, I'm link. Good
for him. It's as he shouldsee. This is the Iride motorcycle.

(06:36):
So I get that, and Isay, you know, why do you
have that piece of chrome? Didyou need it? Yes? That and
you love my boyfriend more than youlove me in like a friendly way.
It's not love me. But ithas nothing to do with that. It
has. It's the fact of thematter is it's like, you know,
you go buy a seventy dollars sweatshirt. Cool. I go buy a piece
of chrome for my bike. It'slike, why are you asking? What
do you care? Okay, itlooks cool, So does your sweatshirt worry?

(06:59):
Even have a nice day. Iwant to go back to the whole
Taylor Swift, you know, thethe Kelsey thing, and you know her
being on TV cameras in your faceall the time. There was a photo
of a it looked like a trunkwith somebody being wheeled out of the something
being wheeled out of the suite atone of the games. Yeah, everybody
was speculating that she was inside itgoing down the back elevator. Oh yeah,

(07:21):
the media, and it's like,you have to hide in a trunk.
So that's how she gets to thestage in her air stort, like
it's a whole thing now they foundout she rides in in a janitor's cart.
Why because I don't actually know,to be quite honest, but maybe
it's so like people don't see heras much so she can kind of like
do the big reveal. But likejust how And I get it, she
signed up for it, but thisjust seems exhausting, Like I would like

(07:42):
to live that life for a weekmaybe two, and then be like I
like, girl, no, Iwant to live the life of the bank
account that she is. This istrue, the actual you know, screw
the fame, I want the fortune, right, fine with that, right,
Just give me the money, goney, I don't need you to know
who I am. That way,less people are asked asking for money.
But it just have to imagine it'svery annoying to be like I have to

(08:03):
calculate every like to go get acup of coffee. You and I hop
in our car and we go getone. Yeah, Oh, that's like
that's not reality for it, andI feel so bad, but I get
it at the same time, that'swhat you signed up for. I thought
about that because late last year Iwent and saw Kevin Hart when he was
in town and we had to lockup our phones. Yeah, bag cool.
I left mine in the van,walked into the venue and realized,

(08:24):
oh, my tickets are on myphone, so I had to go back
and get it and lock it inthe little bag. And I thought for
a minute, and you know,and he's sitting there saying, well,
you know, I just want youto enjoy the show and not be looking
through your phone. And I getit. And it was great and I
was paying attention. But on theother hand, this guy, this guy
was caught cheating on his wife becausesomebody stuck a phone in his room and
it was somebody he knew, andI don't know, there's a friend.

(08:46):
I don't blame him for not wantingcameras around because he could be on stage
drinking a pepsi and then next thing, you know, Atlanta's boycotting him,
right, yeah, you know,Atlanta's like, oh, he doesn't like
Coca Cola, We're not going tosee Kevin Hart. He is the Kakola
hater. Yes, whatever you dothese days. And I don't blame Taylor
for getting in a trunk and no, the fact that she went down on

(09:07):
the field after the game and killedhim and hugged him and stuff. Oh,
people are gonna be talking about thatfor probably months. We're talking about
it. I literally just calculated,if Taylor Swift could make it back to
Las Vegas from Japan in time towatch the Super Bowl, she will to
be there. Yeah, she is. She said she's going to. At
least it's reporting. I think theway the time works out though, is

(09:28):
that she would be there for likethe after parties, but like she's still
there Spartner Man, which I thinkis rad. I don't see why you
wouldn't. You got that kind ofmoney, right, and you know as
soon as the season done, he'sgoing to be in Japan and Australia all
over Europe with her. Well,they were saying that Jason Kelsey and wife,
he's great. They were saying thatapparently she Taylor Swift flew them on

(09:50):
her private jet. Must be that, And I thought, what's not that
far from Philly from l to Baltimore. I've driven it a couple of times.
It's not that far. Well,no, but if Taylor Swift,
what you win? You listen,If Taylor Swift wants to fly me on
her private jet from here to Charlotte. Yes, please, That eighteen minute
flight is going to be amazing.And that drive to Charlotte from here is

(10:11):
not good anyways, So yeah,I would take that. That can be
pretty rough, although I will sayI went to the mountains to visit my
family, and that whole area throughStatesville on the highway there done complete,
beautiful six lanes. I was actuallypleasantly surprised. Well that's good. I
haven't been that way in about ayear. So I was driving going,

(10:33):
Hey, okay for roads, fixfor reference. When you go there,
you like head out like you're goingto Ashville, right, Okay, I
really through. I go past Ashevilleand then back gotcha Mountain. I've only
been that way North Carolina once,and ironically it was while I was driving
to get to the Aras Tour,because where I live, we always like
drop down through Charlotte to really getanywhere. So fun fact, all right,

(10:54):
well yeah, but it's beautiful there. If you go Statesville, here
we come. Let's go on aroad trip. We're taking this thing on
the road. Good idea? Whynot? Yes, well we can broadcast
from Chick fil A. I likethat idea. It'll be perfect. So,
speaking of couples, yes, Blakeand Gwen. Oh okay, Well,
because now everybody's saying Blake and Gwenwill split according to fans. Okay,

(11:18):
because if you've paid attention of thelast few months, apparently the couple
does not appear to be on thesame page. Oh okay, because we
know so much about their lives.Well duh, is this because like there's
not enough pictures of them on socialmedia together? Probably he left the Voice
to spend more time with his wife, but rarely have been seen together.
Well, he's busy. That's becausethey live in Oklahoma. Well kind of

(11:41):
Papa Rozzi is going to be inOklahoma. I'm sure there's a lot out
there probably trying to get a glimpseof them. But apparently they celebrated New
Year apart. Well, yeah,he was in Nashville. She was in
La mm hmmmm, called Vegas.She's getting ready for the No Doubt Reunion
tour. He's getting ready for histour. Yeah. I have this theory,

(12:01):
and let me walk you through mytheory. The more photos you post
of your significant other on social media, the more fragile the relationship is.
To put it in a nice way, the more it's not. And can
I use an example that I don'tlike to use, but it's the only
one I have. You know,I adore Michael Ray. I think he's
one of the greatest human beings onthe planet Earth. But when him and

(12:22):
Carly pierced here together, not tobring up old wounds, it was pictured
this picture that it was everywhere,and that made me go, hmmm,
this seems like it's smoking mirrors.Let's post about it to make it look
like everything's okay. Meanwhile, obviouslywasn't okay. They're not together anymore,
so I have no problem that there'sno pictures of Blake and Gwen. Let
them live their lives. I'm surethey're very happy. I adore those two

(12:43):
as a couple. I think it'sfantastic. I am here for it.
I am eating it up. Well, Apparently fans have noticed that she is
deleting posts with Blake on her Instagram, so that means they're keep talking.
I'm following Gwen on social I well, I am. I just need to
confirm. Here's my thing, though, and I've said this a million times.

(13:05):
We listened to rumors about Blake andMiranda splitting up for at least a
year, maybe more, Okay,And it was in the news, in
the news. They were on socialmedia saying it's not happened. They were
doing videos it's not happening. Andthen one day, Oh, they're divorced.
So you know, when there's smoke, there is fire. Well,
here's a video of them at Christmas. They're getting divorced. Here's one of

(13:28):
them November. No, no,it's not happening. Oh there's a picture
of him with one of the Kardashiansisters. Well, he must be marrying.
There's really a picture of Blake andthe Kardashians. Oh I just made
that up. Oh yeah, youknow this is unscripted. By the way,
Blake, you're better than that,trust me. Blake. Here a
lot. He needs some skims.He needs the shapewear for his upcoming tour.

(13:50):
All right, So let's talk protestersover the weekend. I don't know
if you noticed this, but protestersthrough soup at the Mona Lisa painting why
it doesn't say Apparently a pair ofenvironmental protesters through pumpkin soup at the Mona
Lisa. According to officials, what'scalled like I genuinely don't know what is
controversial about the Mona Lisa. Ihave no idea. It's behind glass,

(14:13):
so it didn't hurt it. Itdid just basically through soup on the glass.
It was like, why waste goodsoup? The only the only bad
thing I've ever heard about the MonaLisa is that it's smaller than you would
think it would be. Don't.Apparently in twenty two, protesters through soup
at Van Goes wildflowers at a museumin London. This was tomato soup.
So maybe it's a theme. Maybelike every year they're gonna throw a different

(14:37):
vegetable type soup. Yeah, we'lldo. We'll do a nice creamy asparacus
next time. What are we gonnathrow it at? Right, we'll go
down to the art museum and we'llfind something to see. I'm a redneck.
I would just go throw chicken soupat a Norman rockwall. That'd be
there. We go. Yes,take that, You and your idealistic life,
A mom and dad and three kidssitting around the table other for dinner.

(15:01):
So you're from Minnesota, don't youknow? Born and raised Yep.
And last week I ran across avideo that was you know you're from Was
it from the Midwest? Yes,yeah, And it was all these people
talking about stupid things Midwesterners do.Yes, and it really wasn't to you.
You were like, yep, didthey left it? Every single one
of that do that. One ofthem was whipping shitty. And I must

(15:26):
say that when we explained, God, please explain what that is. Okay,
Whipping a shitty is when you arein a parking lot in your car.
It's probably an icy parking lot,and you make your car spin around
in circles doing a don't do adonut, which is what literally the rest
of the world calls it, unlessyou are from Minnesota in North Dakota.

(15:48):
Uber North Dakota, I've never heardthat. And then you refer to it
as whipping a shitty. And Ivividly remember the time we found out my
whole family that that wasn't normal.My dad has coworkers from Florida and they
were up. We were eating dinnerand it was snowing out and my mom
made reference to whipping a shitty andhis name was Charlie, and he's like,
what are you talking about? Andhe's like, oh, we call
those donuts and yeah, that's okay. But we could call anybody from Minnesota

(16:14):
right now, any break open aphone book and they'd be like, yeah,
that's whooping a shitty And I laughedso harddn't because I started to laugh
at it, and You're like,what is that? Yeah, noise,
and I'm like, it's like howdown here people refer to hats in the
wintertime as toboggans. Yeah, mydad used to call him tuks, which
I guess is a Canadian thing becausehe's French Canadian. I don't know.
I could call him half that's whatI call him. Nobody, Yeah,

(16:36):
you know, but you call sodapop pop okay. I get that,
you know, I understand that.One thing I did notice a lot of
people don't get, especially when Ilived in Texas. If you say I
had a I had a Ram fifteenhundred truck, okay. And my friend
that I worked with had Ford Fone fifty. So I made fun of

(16:56):
the F one fifty, yes,because it wasn't a Ram, And naturally
he made fun of you too,and he made fun of me, and
we both made fun of Chevy.But there are parts of the world where
people look at you going, whyare you doing that? I'm like,
well, that's how I grew up. If you drove a Ford, you
made fun of people who drove aChevy. Right, yeah, that's what
you do. Right, I'm sureyou've done that, probably with snowmobiles.
So where you're oh my gosh,for sure. But no, So my

(17:18):
mom said that family. She isone of twelve, All of my uncles,
all of the male children for themost part, drive Dodge pickup trucks.
And my dad is like the lowlyholding on for the Ford. He
loves Ford, and so it wasalways like a thing like oh bug food
and then can I go on arant about boys and Chevy trucks. Inevitably,

(17:41):
when I went to high school,there was guys who drove Chevy trucks,
and the Chevy trucks. Chances arewe're a year to two older than
they were, so like they're drivingaround in their ninety one beat up Chevy
pickup truck and they would always bejacked out, like, let me put
the k C lights on the rollbars, like the big rim the whole
nine yards go to Georgia lyance Caseylights gotta have them exactly, And those

(18:04):
are always the boys where if theywere talking to you, you're like,
you want one thing out of me, and I'm not giving you that,
so please move on. Kyle,who works here, drives a Chevy and
uh yeah, I pick on hima lot. He drives a Chevy Avalanche,
though, is that really a pickuptrack? Like it's Teal Green too,
which you know gues we know hissecret. Never mind, Yeah,

(18:25):
that's the only one he could affordtaken as we're looking at him right now
and he has no clue we're talkingabout it because we're gonna sound pro ruit.
I don't mind. That's fine.Well, I just got an email
no music in podcasts. Oh okay, Apparently the company doesn't want us to
put music and podcast I knew thatbecause could we be sued. There's a
good chance that we could be suedin this too happy society. Absolutely,

(18:48):
let's write our own song and putit in a podcast. No, I
won't license it. Break. Wegot guitars in here. One's extremely out
of tune, but they're all outof tune here in the studio, I
mean, really sounds about right forMorgan Wallen. See we have an autographed
Morgan Wallan guitar here in the studioand you're making fun of it. Why
why you don't like Morgan Wallen?You are you are the person that doesn't

(19:11):
like Morgan Wallen. Why hold on? I want to use my words because
I just don't find him appealing.I don't get it. I never have
understood it. He's the one timeI met him, he seemed like he
was a cool dude. No,this was before he became Morgan Wallen.
I just I'm not a fan ofhis music. To me, it all
sounds the same. Okay, thatwas me putting it very nice? What

(19:33):
are you digging out there? Well, let's go. You know we went
down this road. What are youdigging music wise out there? You like?
Okay? I am loving the newNate Smith, new Mitchell Tenpenny.
I like him. Can I goon a small rant about Mitchell Tenpenny?
He has the ability to in songtell someone to f off in the most
beautiful way possible. It does does. He's his new one Bigger Mistakes.
Basically, it's like I've made biggermistakes than you, calmed down, sweetheart,

(19:56):
which is hilarious. And then hehas that one song called Bitches,
which is just comedic, perfect,beautiful gold. If you're having a bad
day, A ton of ten recommendlistening to it. So I've been digging
that. That's really what's been onmy like some Joe diffy because I've been
feeling nineties country. I like that. But yeah, that's what's spent on
my like rotation lately. What elsedo I have? The Oh, there's
this artist named shay Lynn. Idon't know if she has a deal.

(20:18):
She's about to open up for someone, and she has this amazing song that
I've been digging that's called I Wantto Find It because it's really been there
before. Loving that one and thenthe new Luke Combs where the Wild Things
Are ye JT. I'm about tomake a bold statement. I go in
phases where I like, listen tocountry music, and then I'm like,

(20:41):
I'm kind of over what's happening incountry music, so I mean to listen
to pop music. That song byLuke Combs has like gotten me back on
the country music bandwagon. I'm like, there's hope for the genre. I
like that. That's good and I'ma great song lifelong country music fan by
the way, So I'm digging thenew Chris Janssen album. Okay, the
whole album front to back, notto bolts. It is, with the

(21:02):
exception of All I Need Is You, which is a great song rockabillies,
nineties country, rip your face off, just from start to finish, just
melting energy. Have you seen aJansen show many? Yes, they are
never boring. That album is himlively. Yeah, it's so all of
a sudden, he's like playing thekick drum and the guitar and the harmonica,
and then he'll sing a little bit. And if he's chewing gum while

(21:25):
he's doing all this, Oh mygosh, it's the mountain dew. Yeah.
Right, I've met him a coupleof times. He drinks a lot
of mountain dew and smokes big fatcigars before he goes on stage. Perhaps
that's the secret to happiness, nicotineand lots of caffeine. Yeah, maybe,
or lung cancer cancer in general.I don't know. I know who
knows. Well, that's what helikes to do, because well, he's

(21:45):
a recovering alcoholic, has been fora lot of years. And the joke
about how he's been known to ridehis motorcycle and nothing but his boots.
Oh, true story. There's amental image of Chris Jansen. I did
not need. He actually got onhis Harley and rode it with just his
boots on. I believe he gotarrested. He told me what, I
don't drink anymore because when I do, I break out in handcuffs. Yeah,

(22:07):
that's funny, that's good, that'sgood. Well, I mean,
the same thing happened to George Jones. So look at that and Brandley Gilbert
and all the other ones that areout there too. There's this whole movement
in country music right now, likeoh I've quit drinking, there is and
you know I've I've noticed it moreso because I've I'm almost two years sober
and love the sound of you.This isn't my soapbox. Cool. If

(22:27):
you want to drink, be myguest down on Carrot's none of my business.
Do whatever you want. I didit because I felt I needed to.
And I hear a lot of thesepeople saying, you know, it's
just enough becomes enough at some point. Yeah. In this genre in country
radio, country music, it's allabout the whiskey and the beer and the
wine. Oh my god. Yes, And I remember talking with if you

(22:48):
remember the artist Frankie Ballard, whoI love. Frankie Ballard when he first
came out on the scene really hadn'thad it much success. He had a
little taste of it, and hewas partying hard, like really really hard.
And about a year later I raninto him again and I said,
Hey, I'm gonna grab a beerand he said, no, I'm sober,
and I said, what do youmean? He goes, I just
realized that I was celebrating too much. Yeah, but what was I celebrating.

(23:11):
He wasn't celebrating being successful because hewasn't at the time, and it
kind of went, oh cool,So I went had a beer then because
I was still right, I'll havetwo, one for you, one for
you. Well, I've said thatmany many times. People go, oh,
I don't drink cool more for me, Yeah, which, of course,
and that's why I stopped. Butthere is a whole not just artists,

(23:33):
but a whole bunch of people inthe industry who have gotten just you
know what, I'm done. Idon't want to drink anymore. Side note,
best smelly man in country music industryman dressed in country music is Frankie
Baler. Really, and I neverreally got close enough to smell him beautiful,
beautiful, and to that we alwaystalk about like the country lifestyle,

(23:55):
right, and country music is sorad because, unlike other genres, if
there's a show in town, chancesare we're ending up on someone's bus,
we're hanging backstage with them, we'redoing ABC and D and it is so
easy to get caught up in theI'll just have a beer, you'll be
fine. Have a drink, you'llbe fine. And the next thing,
you know, especially in the summertime, when these tours are rolling like crazy,
you're like, I've woken up witha headache three days in a row

(24:17):
because I was out at one nightand then Brandley And why am I naming
all sober people right now? Butyou get my point, Yeah, but
because no one's there to say no, yeah Brad. And that's when I
really started to notice it. Afew years ago, was at Brad Paisley,
and you know, we get thewhole there's a bar right up on
his good day well treatment when weroll when we go to Brad Paisley shows.
And I've known his tour manager foryears. He was my neighbor in

(24:40):
Austin, and so you know notto be all elitists, like I know,
celebrities, but it's one of thosewhere we're there, we're at the
show and it's like, oh,vodka, oh beer, Oh what do
you want? What would you liketo drink? Kill? Here's I'm gonna
bring a water bottle full of vodkaup on stage and the next thing I
know, I'm falling in the parkinglot and go right, this isn't good.
Can I propose a thought? Solet's go back to like when did

(25:00):
Cruz come out twenty eleven ish?Eleven twelve ish? We have this whole
like ten years ish of bro Country, which was very much have your beer
on the back of a truck tailgatewith a hawk girl sitting next to like
all of the stereotype sepro country is. Do you feel that we've moved away?
We have moved away from bro Countryand that whole mindset of like drinking

(25:22):
and whatnot. So it's kind oflike just the shift and the change of
music and perspective has kind of madethese artists become somber, or they want
to become sober, maybe you know, I don't. I know. Brad
Paisley's been sober for years. TimMcGrath's been sober for years, rightfully,
so he's even said and almost killedhim. Yeah, Brandley Gilbert's point blank
said that. You know he can'the can't drink. And you know a
lot of the artists that I've readabout or talked to that are sober have

(25:45):
gotten sober because it was killing themand they just they didn't want to die.
They didn't want to be a footnotein history. They wanted to be
country stars. I mean, BrandleyGilbert almost died because of his struggles.
Rolled is struck. There's a wholealbum about it, man. I know
Kenny Chesney has said before He's like, you know a lot of people think
we drink and go crazy. He'slike, really don't, right. You

(26:07):
know there's the days of Johnny Cashtalking about getting drunk and you know,
partying. He really did that.Yeah, you know those kinds. Johnny
el King is still lighting the wayfor you. Let's talk about her.
What a train wreck el King hasbecome. I love her. I met
her last year. She's awesome.I think her father's an idiot, but

(26:29):
still he's very good. No,I've met him before her, but her,
Come and get your wife album isfantastic. She's so good, she's
great. But then you know,you go up on stage at the Opry
drunk yes on live radio, bythe way, and everybody's giving you backlash,
and you're like, well, Idon't understand. What do you mean?
You know, it's the Opry.I did find it interesting. Did
you see the tweet Dolly Parton's sistersent out. I heard about it.

(26:52):
Yeah, no way, was shesupporting her. She kind of said,
like, it's harder to know aDolly song than you think my sister was
all about or is all about lyrics. And then she did point out at
the end like, oh, Elle'snot the first person to be drunk on
the Opry stage. Oh, I'msure back in the day Johnny Cash,
yes, And she alluded to it. I don't know her exact words,
were like, well, if sheif this was a dude, this would
be an entirely different conversation. AndI think there's some truth to that.

(27:17):
Maybe if she was a country purist, Okay, she's not, She's a
pop artist whatever, then now she'sdabbling in country. You know, like
if jelly Roll got up there,God loved jelly Roll doing what he's doing.
I think he's amazing. But ifJelly Roll got up there and started
dropping F bombs, I think peoplewould be a little upset at him too.
Valid point. Yes, you knowwhere he came from. He's not

(27:40):
a country purist. Yeah. Also, if it was just a normal performance,
just el King's on the opery stage, I don't think this would have
gotten as much attention as it didbecause it was Dolly, and Dolly is
like the American treasure, like BettyWhite died. So now we are all
holding on to Dolly Parton because sheis a light in this world that we
all need. Like, I don'tknow one person on this planet who does

(28:03):
not like Dolly Parton. Oh there'sa few. Well they have to there
something at a football game recently,and everybody was like ripping on her or
something. I did not see onenegative comment, now, I'm sure they
were there. I just like Dollynailed it. She is Dolly Parton and
one must ask themselves what would Dollydo? Well, Dolly would I don't

(28:23):
know. She's not said anything aboutthe l King uh huh, and el
King is not released a statement.I know the opry has apologized and everybody
on Facebook and Instagram, like,well, el King needs to apologize.
Probably right, But didn't she havea bunch of shows? A couple of
shows were canceled in Texas. Theywere saying they were postponed or rescheduled.

(28:44):
Okay, so rescheduled means she's probablygoing away for about ninety days. Gotcha.
I would venture to say that thatcould be it. I don't know.
That's why we haven't heard from elKing in a while. I do
you know how that goes? Passageis Malibu? She was exhausted, Okay,
she doesn't have a drink problem.Sure she does. That's what every
celebrity said, though, Like I'mgoing to wait because I'm exhausted. Like,

(29:04):
if you're exhausted, just go siton the couch. From Nashville's Big
Bash New Year's Eve, did yousee her performance? She was wasted?
Oh yeah, I mean, God, love her great, but there might
be a point where you go,Okay, you're celebrating too much, Yes,
Franky ballad Right, speaking of drinkingin country music, did you see
that the charges against Chris Young havebeen dropped? Yes? Right and rightfully

(29:26):
so. I have seen so manyvideos, read the story and I'm like
all right, like he tapped atthe dude on the shoulder more like he
did not assault him. It waslike, oh hey, bro, like
I have questions for you, questionsthat are totally valid in asking any kind
of law enforcement official. On topof the fact that it was alcohol law
enforcement. There's a step above tsareyou. I was saying that, I'm

(29:48):
like, so a rent a cop? Basically, you're a TSA. You
know, you're an ALI agent.You're a glorified bouncer. Okay, like
who you're license, your picture?Everything matches, red have a great day,
like give me a state troop orany day over that right, Where's
Chips when you need him? Yeah? It was. It was ridiculous.
And once the video came out,everybody obviously knew, you know, and

(30:12):
Chris seems like the kind of guy'snot gonna go and pursue it and try
and sue them. No, Iyou know, I'm mean very well.
Could I suppose there was a countryartist many years ago, and I can't
remember his name, he was outat a bar with some police, okay,
and he was hanging out and hesaid, you know, I'm did

(30:33):
they found out who he was?And then they were like, oh yeah,
and he's like, no, reallyI am. And he's like,
here's my ID. Yeah, comeon, let's go drink over at the
house. We're gonna have some drinksafter, you know, after the bar
closed or whatever. And they wentover and the cop was drunk and just
got really really rowdy okay, andyou know, started pushing them wrong,
going, you're not who you sayyou are. You break intouse me.

(30:56):
Yeah, and of course stuck hisbadge in his face and he said right
now. And of course this countryartist's wife came down the stairs. The
cop freaked out, dropped his badgeand took off. So he called the
police and they said, well,that never happened. He said, yes,
well you have his badge right here. And apparently the cops in Nashville
were not nice to him. Fora long long time. I couldn't do
anything. See, I law enforcementcan be very polarizing. I very much

(31:21):
support our police force. But it'sthings like this that I'm like you or
what people think of when they thinkof police officers and the bad name that's
attached with them, that for themost part, is not deserved. Because
there's bad people in every industry.I'm really trying to think who this country
singer is. It was Steve HolyOh there's a name I haven't heard in
forever, and apparently that was thestory. He told us this story over

(31:41):
lunch and I just went what Andfor the longest time he couldn't do anything
around Nashville because the cops were gonefor him because he was seeing well,
he was suing the police. Ohokay, for you know, assault and
you know, stress on his pregnantwife. Uh oh, he was,
you know, he was, hewas suing the police. So he's like,

(32:02):
if I walked across the street andstumbled, they pulled me over right
and say I was drunk and disorderly. So yeah, that was real cops.
So this is Ali with Chris Youngsright exactly. Well, that's our
time. Thank you for listening,Thank you for joining me. I would
love to do this again, misterb This was a lot of fun.
I think this is a weekly rant. I like it rant. We'll see

(32:23):
spiel. You know. I don'texpect anyone to listen except maybe my mom.
So fun fact, I just foundout that my high school teacher,
my social studies teacher, listens.Oh okay, So I was going to
send this to him so he couldbecause his complaint is that it's too much
music and not enough Hannah, whichI'm like, you're the only one who
thinks that, But cool. SoI'm going to send this to the stock
man. I like it cool andhopefully, you know, he's happy with

(32:46):
what he hears and fingers crossed,he'll send it to his friends. You
know, on the free iHeartRadio AByou can open it and search unscripted with
j T Bosh Boom. That's ourtime. Have a great week, toodles,
