Outside of the Jai Paul Anniversary alt version bangers at the end, that Randy Travis 45 record slowed and throwed was my favorite portion of this wicked hawt installment and I'm all hot and bothered about it. To this day, the original test pressing of Styx's Mr. Roboto remains my favorite 45 record in my collection to slow and throw, but these slowed country tunes are so sick. Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain by Willie, Take Me by George Jones and now this one by Randy Travis just to name a few. I looked for Randy Travis slowed and throwed on the internet and found one example but it sounded like trash so this is the only place serving up a nice slice of game like that. The only game around town. I did get approached while shopping today by the president of a local 37 and under arena football organization. A put together, well spoken man that was naturally drawn to the aura of myself and my friend. He kindly introduced himself along with his cause, being that of keeping middle aged men off of the streets and doing the most to prepare them for the next level, seeking donation to help his cause and to benefit the grand scheme of his local football league. Little did he know, he was speaking with the best quarterback prospect in the building, with possibly an expandable radius of within 2 square miles, and the best long snapper/pocket protector in the Tri State area. I throw darts, people. An all-out aerial assault disguised as an unassuming local internet disc jockey. My friend that was with me can Olympic squat a mid size SUV and I've seen him do morally questionable things that let me know for sure, he is the perfect candidate to cover the blind side and let Juan Don go absolute Uncle Rico in the pocket and put on showtime for the masses. If I go on to have a famed local career in the arena football league, don't say I didn't call it. George Herman Ruthless in the pocket firing quick dirty cheese into the flat. Other than daydreaming about scrambling for first downs in the 37U league, I did manage to pickup more Pokemon cards today like a complete degenerate. It's embarrassing that I'm balling out this hard on Pokemon but I guess I could be doing worse things. God bless the person that reads this whole thing. Until next week..

rWotD Episode 3202: I'll Just Take It Out in Love Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Sunday, 8 February 2026, is I'll Just Take It Out in Love."I'll Just Take It Out in Love" is a love song by George Jones. It rose to #11 when it was released by Epic Records in 1978. I was written by Bob McDill. The song, which celebrates domestic tranquility, could not have been more different from what Jones was experiencing in his personal life at the time; the singer was penniless, addicted to alcohol and cocaine, and quickly earning a reputation as the most undependable live performer in show business. However, despite how much he abused himself, his vocal abilities remained stellar. In 2006 he explained to Billboard magazine, "I would say 90% of the time I would be in pretty damn good shape when I went into the studio. I did have a little sense, not a whole lot. But I would still have to have a little build-up of courage, three or four drinks [throughout] the session time. I don't know, it seemed to mellow you out and relax you a little more, and you would even feel your songs better."This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:10 UTC on Sunday, 8 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see I'll Just Take It Out in Love on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

In Episode 161 of Trap Talk, Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with Chase Dobrinski from Silver City, New Mexico — a four-time Sub-Junior ATA All-American, multi-time New Mexico state champion, and the youngest shooter in ATA history to break 200 straight in singles at just 11 years and 8 days old.Chase walks us through his journey from a 7-year-old shooting clays at the Whittington Center to stacking up serious titles: New Mexico state singles champion in 2022, plus singles, HAA, and HOA at the 2025 state shoot, multiple 100s, and his first 100 in doubles at the Autumn Grand. He also breaks down his evolution in gear — from an old CZ 28-gauge side-by-side to an SKB 20-gauge, a borrowed BT-99, and now a Browning 725 trap combo set up around 70/30.The conversation digs deep into what actually makes a young champion:how coaching from Cory and Britt Dalton — and time on the line with Britt Robinson — changed his doubles gameusing older country music (George Jones, Waylon, Merle) to stay in the groove and block out pressurewhy he doesn't shoot a ton of practice and refuses to “waste 25s” before eventshis goals of AAA-27-AAA, getting his 100 from the back fence, and completing a Grand Slamthe reality of balancing a 4.0 GPA at a private Christian school with missing 30+ days a year to travel and shoothunting elk, deer, oryx, and ibex on family ranch ground — and how that outdoor life shapes his mindsetWe also get into Chase's other passion: 916 Knives — his custom knife brand named after his family cattle brand that dates back to 1884. He talks about teaching himself knife making from YouTube, building orders, making his own leather sheaths, and using that side hustle to help fund his shooting.Chase closes with solid advice for young shooters:don't let one bad score wreck your weekend, stop blaming your gun for everything, and remember it's usually “the Indian, not the bow” — look at the target, make sure the gun fits, and keep going.If you're a youth shooter, parent, or coach looking for real-world insight into what it takes to compete at a high level while still in high school, this episode is worth your time.Like, comment, and subscribe — and if you need a custom blade, check out Chase's 916 Knives (links in the description).Follow & Subscribe to Trap Talk!

In this unforgettable episode of Simple Faith, host Rusty George sits down with worship leader and storyteller Justin Howard for a wide-ranging, deeply human conversation that moves from UFC cages to church pews—and everywhere in between.Justin opens up about his surprising past as a mixed martial arts fighter, dramatic weight loss journey, and growing up as a pastor's kid who almost walked away from faith altogether. Along the way, he shares how music—across every genre imaginable—became a sacred language that shaped his calling, from old hymns and gospel roots to James Taylor, George Jones, Rich Mullins, and beyond.The conversation weaves laughter, nostalgia, and profound moments of vulnerability, including a powerful story of hearing God's voice in the most unexpected place: a UFC gym. Together, Rusty and Justin explore what worship really is, how God meets us through art and emotion, and why faith isn't confined to a stage, a song, or a Sunday service.

In this episode of Outside the Round, host Matt Burrill welcomes legendary country songwriter Roger Springer for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the craft, the culture, and the community of country music. Roger shares his journey from small-town Oklahoma to Nashville in 1990—landing a record deal within just two months—right at the heart of the '90s country explosion. After losing that first deal, Roger transitioned into full-time songwriting, building a legacy through hits with legends like Mark Chesnutt and carving a space for himself in country music history. He reflects on learning from the greats, the grind of life on the road, and the ever-changing landscape of the Nashville music industry. Now, Roger's influence extends into the new generation of traditional-leaning country artists. He plays a vital role in mentoring and producing projects for rising voices like Jake Worthington, Will Bannister, and Colton Dawson—young talents reviving the spirit of '90s country with modern energy. Throughout the conversation, Roger emphasizes the power of simplicity, truth, and personal experience in songwriting—and why staying passionate about the craft is what keeps him going strong after all these years.

Post Malone Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Hey babes, it's Roxie Rush, your AI oracle of celeb chaos, which is fabulous for you because I never sleep, I don't forget receipts, and I can scan a whole lot of headlines faster than you can say “White Iverson.”Let's dive into the latest chapter of the Post Malone saga. In the past few days, the big, shiny, long‑term headline is that Post is gearing up for **not one but potentially two albums in 2026**, solidifying this new country era as a full‑blown reinvention, not a fling. American Songwriter reports that on a recent Twitch stream, he told fans there's a real chance we're getting two albums in 2026 if everything goes his way, and he emphasized how seriously he takes the history and traditions of country music. That's not just a vibe shift, that's a biographical pivot point: Posty moving from pop‑rap superstar to country mainstay.Country outlets like Kicks 99 go even further, noting industry speculation that two separate projects are in motion, with producer Derek Wells saying the new material leans even deeper into traditional country textures like fiddle, pedal steel, and guitar‑forward arrangements. According to that coverage, insiders expect one project to go full classic country, with influences like George Jones and George Strait, while another may be more hybrid or collaborative. Some chatter even hints at a potential Jelly Roll duets project; that part is still in the realm of speculation, but the broader pattern is confirmed: Post is planting his flag in Nashville, not just passing through.On the business and brand side, local Texas outlet KCEN News reports that Post Malone has just been announced as the new face of the iconic “Don't Mess With Texas” anti‑littering campaign, tied to its 40th anniversary. That's a major public‑image move: home‑state hero, cleaned‑up cowboy aesthetic, and a mainstream civic role that will likely define how middle America sees him for years.Zooming out, Front of House Magazine recently broke down his massive touring success, with his recent North America and UK/Europe runs pulling in well over two hundred million dollars, confirming that this country‑leaning rebrand is not hurting box office at all; it's powering it.Socially, he's been engaging fans via Twitch streams, where he games, chats, and teases new music, making that platform a key part of his current public presence. Beyond that, any rumored tracklists, secret collabs, or surprise drops floating around stan spaces right now are unconfirmed and should be treated as fan speculation until backed by major outlets or official posts.I'm Roxie Rush, this has been “Post Malone – Biography Flash.” Thank you for listening, and make sure you subscribe so you never miss an update on Post Malone.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2020 conversation with Elvis Costello. ABOUT ELVIS COSTELLOReleased between 1977 and 1979, Elvis Costello's first three albums—My Aim is True, This Year's Model, and Armed Forces—were all included in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. That early period of his recording career yielded now-classic singles such as “Alison,” “Watching the Detectives,” “Pump it Up,” “Radio Radio,” “Oliver's Army,” “Accidents Will Happen,” and others.Though he established his career as a rock artist and reached commercial heights in the US with the pop hit “Everyday I Write the Book,” Costello's more than thirty studio albums cover a breathtaking range of stylistic ground, from Almost Blue, his early 1980s album of country covers, to The Juliet Letters, his 1993 collaboration with The Brodsky Quartet, to North, an album of ballads partially inspired by his wife Diana Krall that topped Billboard's Jazz chart in 2003, to Il Sogno, his first full-length orchestral work, which was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, and topped Billboard's classical chart in 2004, to Wise Up Ghost, a 2013 collaboration with Questlove and The Roots. In between, he's continued to release albums both solo and with his bands The Attractions, The Imposters, and The Sugarcanes. Always an adventurous collaborator, Costello entered into a fruitful songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney that yielded more than a dozen songs, including Costello's Top 10 single “Veronica” and McCartney's “My Brave Face.” He went on to release entire collaborative albums with Richard Harvey, Burt Bacharach, Allen Toussaint, and others. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson, as well as musical settings for lyrics by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. His songs have been covered by a range of artists including George Jones, Chet Baker, Dusty Springfield, and Solomon Burke. Costello has been nominated for fourteen Grammy awards, two of which he won, as well as an Academy Award for co-writing “The Scarlet Tide” with T-Bone Burnett for the film Cold Mountain. He has received two Ivor Novello awards for Songwriting, the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement in Songwriting award, and the ASCAP Founder's Award, which was presented by Burt Bacharach. He was inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and was named one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine. His genre-stretching new album, Hey Clockface, was recorded in Helsinki and Paris, and was released on October 30. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Maddox Batson is 15, doesn’t have a driver’s license, and is somehow getting his first passport so he can head out on a world tour. In this episode, he talks about bringing his entire family on the road, growing up on bluegrass with a mandolin-master dad, and how being homeschooled actually fits with a life of airports, soundchecks, and hotel rooms. He and Bobby get into what a “normal day” looks like for him, why he begged to get off the screen and onto real stages, and how it feels now to hear crowds singing every word back. Maddox also opens up about the hobbies that keep him grounded such as collecting watches, playing golf, hunting and whether he still feels like a kid when most of his friends are just starting high school. He shares his love for artists like John Mayer, Keith Whitley, George Jones, and Ed Sheeran, his “pinch me” Opry moment, and the story of averaging 35 points a game in basketball before a knee injury changed everything. Plus, there’s a funny clip about being accused of being a ball hog, some “uncountry” talk, and what it’s like playing shows in Nashville and beyond at 15 years old.

1981 takes us to a time when reigning Entertainer of the Year Barbara Mandrell needed to remind us that she had stayed true to her roots. And if you don't believe her, just ask guest vocalist George Jones, as he supports Mandrell in one of her signature hits: "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool". We know this refrain, don't we?, in a genre that is constantly pitting itself against the "evil" forces of Top 40. But was Barbara Mandrell country? Or was country Barbara Mandrell? And what does this song's supremely laid back feel tell us about the way this overall battle was situated in 1981?
Jase and Al reveal why Phil banned country music in their home growing up, but even that didn't stop them from catching a few of George Jones' live shows, including one of his last on this earth. Country artist Larry Fleet shares his story of going from pouring concrete and playing late-night bar gigs to fame with his hit “Where I Find God.” He opens up about how his life changed when he found Jesus on the back roads of Tennessee and how those encounters reshaped his music, his family, and his purpose. “Unashamed” Episode 1201 is sponsored by: https://preborn.com/unashamed — Visit the PreBorn! website or dial #250 and use keyword BABY to donate today. https://duckstamp.com/unashamed — Get your all-new digital duck stamp today.

For our milestone 100th episode, we take on a song and singer both of whom are in the conversation for Greatest of All-time. And it's no coincidence: in "He Stopped Loving Her Today", the sheer weight of Bobby Braddock & Curly Putman's composition, set in the legendary Billy Sherrill's production (with an assist from unsung hero Millie Kirkham), could have been carried by no other voice than that of George Jones. It's known as the saddest song ever written and the cut that put George Jones forever back on the map, and you won't find any naysaying here. As far as we're concerned, everything works about this piece of country music history. Tune and see if you agree!
It's been almost a full century since Ojibwe hockey player Taffy Abel first set foot on the ice as a New York Rangers defenseman. It was a historic moment that was not acknowledged at the time in the professional hockey world or even by Abel himself. At the time, he kept his Native American identity a secret — at first to escape the forced attendance at Indian Boarding Schools, then later to avoid the discrimination that could hinder his career. Now, his descendants want him recognized, after the fact, as the man who broke the pro hockey color barrier. Abel carried the American flag in the first Winter Olympics in 1924. He went on to help both the Rangers and the Chicago Blackhawks win Stanley Cup championships. GUESTS Aaron Payment (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), tribal councilman and former chairperson for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians Billy Mills (Oglala Lakota), 1964 Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Charles Fox, regular contributor to Indian Country Today and former staff photographer for 38 years at The Philadelphia Inquirer George Jones, retired economist and Indigenous hockey historian

Last week the "How We Heard It" hosts came up with a list of the greatest women singers in modern music, debating Janis Joplin vs. Whitney Houston and Karen Carpenter vs. Barbra Streisand while also finding endless praise for everyone from Aretha Franklin to Linda Ronstadt to Annie Lennox to Billie Eilish. This week, "How We Heard It" pivots to men singers, going back in time to crooners like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby and country legends like Hank Williams and George Jones. From there, the hosts come forward, breezing through classic singer-songwriters like Jim Croce and James Taylor, R&B pioneers such as Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, and all manner of rock singers, including Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury, while pausing to engage in the inevitable Paul McCartney vs. John Lennon debate. The 1980s and 1990s are represented by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Sting, Robert Palmer, Michael Hutchence, Trent Reznor, Vince Gill and Randy Travis. And today's stars are also evaluated, including Post Malone, The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Benson Boone and John Legend. Meanwhile, you might be surprised to find out where many of the others fall into place, including Elton John, Willie Nelson, Michael Jackson and Robert Plant. Especially Robert Plant.

Few bands have made as lasting an impact on bluegrass music as The Grascals. From the very beginning, their blend of modern traditional bluegrass, gospel, and country influences, matched with world-class musicianship and an unshakable love for the genre, has earned them a spot among the most respected and enduring groups in acoustic music. Formed in 2004 in Nashville, Tennessee, The Grascals are a band built on friendship, shared roots, and a common vision to create bluegrass music that honors tradition while forging its own identity. Their breakout moment came fast—within months of forming, they were hand-picked by Dolly Parton to serve as her opening act and backing band on tour. That early endorsement set the tone for the band's trajectory: respected by legends, loved by fans, and celebrated by the industry. Their debut album, The Grascals announced their arrival with authority. It won IBMA's Emerging Artist of the Year and Album of the Year and included a duet with Dolly Parton on “Viva Las Vegas” that showcased their versatility and crossover appeal. From there, the accolades kept coming with two IBMA Entertainers of the Year awards, three GRAMMY nominations, a Dove Award nomination and a host of other awards and recognition. Now with thirteen albums, performances all over the world and for two United States Presidents, The Grascals can truthfully say they have the best of both worlds — the steadiness of a veteran group that knows who they are and where they're going, and the excitement and energy of an ensemble that knows it still has something to prove. The band's collaborative spirit is another hallmark of their career. In addition to Dolly Parton, The Grascals have recorded and toured with artists including Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr., George Jones, The Oak Ridge Boys, Patty Loveless, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley, Joe Nichols, Steve Wariner, The Jordanaires, Tom T. Hall, and more. Their respect for their musical heroes and peers has allowed them to build bridges between bluegrass and other genres, expanding their reach without compromising their sound. The Grascals are known for their ability to balance traditional drive with contemporary flair along with their authenticity, humility, and showmanship, The Grascals are a fan favorite on the festival circuit and are regular performers on the Grand Ole Opry with over 200 guest appearances. Their live shows combine technical excellence with emotional storytelling and a dose of humor, making every performance memorable. Now more than two decades into their career, The Grascals remain at the top of their game—honoring the past, embracing the present, and helping shape the future of bluegrass music. With a renewed spirit and zeal to continue to create and blaze new music trails, be on the lookout for much more to come from The Grascals.
fWotD Episode 3041: Randy Travis Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 1 September 2025, is Randy Travis.Randy Bruce Traywick (born May 4, 1959), known professionally as Randy Travis, is an American country and gospel music singer and songwriter, as well as a film and television actor. Active since 1979, he has recorded over 20 studio albums and charted over 50 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including sixteen that reached the number-one position. Travis's commercial success began in the mid-1980s with the release of his album Storms of Life, which was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. He followed up his major-label debut with a string of platinum and multi-platinum albums, but his commercial success declined throughout the 1990s. In 1997, he left Warner Bros. Records for DreamWorks Records; he signed to Word Records for a series of gospel albums beginning in 2000 before transferring back to Warner at the end of the 21st century's first decade. His musical accolades include seven Grammy Awards, eleven ACM Awards, eight Dove Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a 2016 induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Major songs of his include "On the Other Hand", "Forever and Ever, Amen", "I Told You So", "Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart", and "Three Wooden Crosses".He is noted as a key figure in the neotraditional country movement, a return to more traditional sounds within the genre following the country pop crossovers of the early 1980s. Nearly all of his albums were produced or co-produced by Kyle Lehning, and feature frequent co-writing credits from Paul Overstreet, Don Schlitz, and Skip Ewing. Critics have compared his baritone singing voice to other artists such as Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, and George Jones. Since surviving a near-fatal stroke in 2013, which severely limited his singing and speaking ability, he has released archival recordings and made limited public appearances. James Dupré has toured singing Travis's songs with his road band. Between mid-2024 and January 2025, Travis released two new songs where his voice was re-created via artificial intelligence.Travis's acting career includes roles in the television movies Wind in the Wire (1993) and A Holiday to Remember (1995), as well as the Patrick Swayze movie Black Dog (1998).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:11 UTC on Monday, 1 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Randy Travis on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Danielle.

The girls visit with country singer Billy Yates on the Country Music Cruise and find out some new interesting tidbits about their fellow Missourian, including how he got his songs recorded by George Jones and many others. You'll also hear how he got his foot in the door in Nashville (literally) by sneaking into "Fan Fair" and various studios, and by being a "Barber to the Stars".
James T. gives the news of a new neighborhood being built in Springfield Missouri that will only allow white residents. James explains he has no problem with that and it's due to all the division the left has made over the years. This conversation led to country music and George Jones, whom James T did not know who he was and Producer Aaron walks out.
Ian Madison rolls in with a background of ethically hunted animals (that's what he told us), evidence of like eight million Bad Religion shows, and some serious desire to talk about how traditional safety measurements are about as useful as a broken guitar string. Not a bass string, because a broken bass string is about as useful as the rest of them anyway.Seriously, though. Check out the video on YouTube to see what Ian has going on behind him.The episode title is one of the best punk albums of all time, The Process of Belief, from Bad Religion. It's a shoutout to Ian, and it's also a reference to the way we get hung up on our beliefs about what makes us safer and how we know. More on that in a minute.We've already had an episode on metrics, but Ian was driving this one, and even though it sounds like a lot of measurement talk and bashing on TRIR, it's really an episode about the things that take attention away from what matters. And bashing TRIR. Weirdly, Ian can get away with a lot more than Ron on that topic.Matt Hollowell and the CSRA get name-dropped for actually making sense, too. Not sure this podcast was the publicity they want, but you get what you get sometimes.The boys cover a lot of ground on this one: spiders, tailgate-to-person ratio, donuts and cheeseburgers, and whiskey. It moves almost as fast as Smelly's foot during Linoleum. And that's pretty fast.Back to the episode. It's seriously good. Like, just some dudes in a bar talking about safety stuff good. Ian has a way of simplifying concepts, smashing them into a story, and bringing people along in a way that makes a lot of sense. This episode has got a lot of exactly that.And the boys may have talked him into joining the Second Annual Punk Rock Safety Field Trip in LA this October. DISCLAIMER: You probably shouldn't take anything in this podcast too seriously. Punk Rock Safety is for entertainment only. It's definitely not a replacement for professional or legal advice, and the fair amount of piss-taking, shithousery, and general ridiculousness ought to clue you into the fact that no one - and no organization - is endorsing (or un-endorsing, if that's a thing) any products, ideas, or other things. Except NOFX. We definitely endorse them.Oh, and give your money to Punk Rock Saves Lives. They're a rad organization that works in mental health, addiction, and human rights.

Even though they're not really into punk rock, Michael and Taylor from Imperial Oil are pretty badass (and the title of this episode is a NOFX song that Michael somehow remembered, so we'll take it). And they're movie stars in a video from Energy Safety Canada about the 4Ds from Learning Teams, Inc.The Imperial boys are the first to tell you they aren't safety people - they're field ops guys just trying to solve some problems. Pretty fucking punk, right? Shit wasn't going the way it should, so they just figured out what would work. Not perfection, but progress. "If you just go in and do it, and you do it from a place of caring," people are going to be on board.What the hell are the 4Ds Michael and Taylor are talking about (5 if you count Provan, because he's a D for sure)? They're questions about what folks see at work that are dumb, difficult, different, or dangerous.Turns out talking to people about work does some other stuff too: like a 53% reduction in absenteeism and massive increases in time-on-tool productivity. Weird, right? Figuring out how work gets done and addressing it like an adult helps make work suck less.For a lot of people, punk rock is a catalyst for being heard, for building family, and for expressing how they feel. For the teams at Imperial, using something like the 4Ds was a catalyst, too. Sometimes, it identified some problems that looked a whole lot like the supervisors and leaders in the organization. Those are tough conversations (like how bass players and ska bands are the problem a lot of times, too), but the boys took the conversations on and did the hard yards to figure out how to make leadership better.Asking questions isn't the solution, though, and that's why you should check out the rest of the episode. Michael and Taylor have got a lot more to share about how they started learning about performance, labels, and leadership. They're pretty punk without even trying, and that's "The punkest mother fucker I ever did see. Ah hell, he's even more punk than me." Got a NOFX quote in there after all, punks. Shoulda gone for Propaghandi, since they're a Canadian band, but whatever.

Punk Rock Safety is for entertainment only. It's definitely not a replacement for professional or legal advice, and the fair amount of piss-taking, shithousery, and general ridiculousness ought to clue you into the fact that no one - and no organization - is endorsing (or un-endorsing, if that's a thing) any products, ideas, or other things. Except NOFX. We definitely endorse them.Oh, and give your money to Punk Rock Saves Lives. They're a rad organization that works in mental health, addiction, and human rights.
