Do you want to know the quickest way to feel seventeen again?For me, it's a concert.There is something about live music that strips away the mental clutter. The to-do lists. The emails. The pressure. For a couple of hours, nobody is thinking about what happened yesterday or what's waiting tomorrow. You're simply there. Singing. Laughing. Remembering. Fully alive inside a moment you can't get back.A couple of weeks ago, Will and I went to Nashville with some dear friends for Alan Jackson's final concert, and it was one of those nights I'll remember for a long time. It was his farewell show so the artist lineup was unreal! Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett, George Strait— sooo many good ones! They weren't just performing songs—they were telling stories. Then they'd step offstage, disappear into the crowd, and become fans again, singing every word with the rest of us.As I looked around the stadium, I couldn't stop thinking about how present everyone was. Thousands of people weren't just hearing music. They were remembering first dances, high school summers, road trips, parents, grandparents, old friends, and seasons of life that had long since passed. One song somehow held the past and the present at the same time. It was as if everyone had collectively decided, “For these next few hours, I'm going to be fully here.”Read all the notes for this episode and more at cleerelystated.substack.com

America 250 week kicked off with Joey and Nancy talking about the country's 250th birthday and reflecting on some surprising moments from early American history. Nancy also confessed to accidentally running over a squirrel while driving the WIVK truck to a Community Crew event at Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding. The crew recapped volunteering at Shangri-La, where they helped with chores around the property. Joey and Marvin ended up cleaning horse pens with pitchforks while others opted for less messy jobs like pulling weeds. Joey shared an update on his son's garden after they harvested their first homegrown cucumbers. The conversation turned into a preview of the upcoming Southern Life Expo, including Kid Boss booths, local vendors, food, and Christmas in July activities. Scrolling Through TikTok featured a grandmother who went viral for removing towels from pool chairs that vacationers were using to reserve spots hours before actually showing up. Joey and Nancy both agreed that if you're not at the pool, you shouldn't be saving chairs. Hot Tea included Alan Jackson's farewell concert in Nashville featuring appearances from George Strait, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, and video tributes from Reba, Ella Langley, and Taylor Swift. They also discussed rumors surrounding a possible Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding and Bunny XO joking that being married to Jelly Roll was like serving a ten-year prison sentence. Nancy shared a dream-inspired invention: smart glasses that would recognize people and remind you how you know them before they walk up and start talking to you. A discussion about the upcoming America 250 celebration led Joey into sharing some fascinating Revolutionary War history he learned from a documentary, including why he unexpectedly found himself feeling a little sympathy for the British perspective. Lucky 7 for $50 to Farmacy Producer Karly gave a full recap of her speed dating experience from the weekend. While she didn't find a romantic connection, she met some interesting people, made a few new friends, and concluded that confidence goes a long way in that environment. Let the Beat Drop took a patriotic turn as Joey, Nancy, and Karly attempted to sing the National Anthem while staying on beat after the music dropped out. Joey shared an emotional father-son milestone after helping his 12-year-old shave his mustache for the first time. The shaving session came after Joey and his wife unintentionally made their son feel self-conscious about it. Patriot Games gave away VIP tickets to Patriot Fest in Pigeon Forge. After several listeners struggled, one caller successfully sang the first verse of "Yankee Doodle" to win front-row seats for Carly Pearce and Parmalee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The gang is heading outside for Operation Food Search, and what should be a simple canned food drive somehow turns into a full-blown carnival complete with megaphones, competitive donation strategies, and Riz spiraling because someone else might have to run the show for a few minutes. Turns out our fearless leader may, in fact, be a tiny bit of a control freak. Tiny. Like, billboard-sized tiny.Then the crew tackles life's biggest questions: Why is Gen Z suddenly obsessed with Culver's? What fast-food logo deserves permanent tattoo status? And would you wear an actual diaper just to hold your spot in the front row of a concert? The answers somehow involve Daft Punk, Led Zeppelin, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and enough bathroom-related discussion to make everyone slightly uncomfortable.There's also a trip through celebrity news and pop culture chaos, including Apple Music's most-streamed artists, Olivia Rodrigo fans apparently treating concerts like endurance sports, Chris Pratt teaching American history with comedy, and Toy Story 5 preparing to emotionally devastate all of us.Along the way, the crew pays tribute to entertainment legends, debates the most American songs of all time, and once again proves that no topic is too ridiculous for this show. One second it's Tom Hanks discussing a scene he can't watch in Cast Away, and the next it's arguing whether Free Fallin' is the perfect road-trip anthem.This is exactly what happens when a bunch of friends gather around microphones and let their brains go wherever they want. It's messy, sarcastic, occasionally heartfelt, and entirely unpredictable.In other words, it's your favorite daily comedy.Whether you're here for the celebrity gossip, the weird stories, the random debates, or simply to hear grown adults seriously discuss diaper strategy at concerts, this daily comedy delivers another beautifully chaotic episode.Thanks for hanging out with The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy where every conversation somehow goes completely off the rails and everybody's invited.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Did She Really Do It?! The Hair Decision That Had Everyone Holding Their Breath”  “What happens when you're one bold haircut away from a full-blown identity crisis?” The tension builds fast as JB's sister, Chris, faces the ultimate dilemma: to get bangs… or not to get bangs. It sounds simple—until it's not. What unfolds is a hilarious and surprisingly high-stakes journey into impulse decisions, self-expression, and the kind of change that can send you spiraling. Tricia steps in with a passionate attempt to talk Chris off the ledge, delivering what might be the most dramatic intervention over a haircut you've ever heard. And just when you think it can't get any better, Sandy takes the challenge to a whole new level with his unforgettable “Ode to Bangs.” Equal parts poetic and outrageous, one line in particular has everyone stunned: “For bangs are not just hair, they are drama queens.” The big reveal? You'll finally hear what Chris decided after all that buildup—and trust us, the moment is worth the wait. As she hilariously admits, it came down to one crucial question: “Are you willing to commit?” Beyond the bangs saga, the episode is packed with classic JB and Sandy energy—listener shoutouts from across Texas, excitement for George Strait's big night, and a feel-good story that sparks serious local pride (and a little friendly bragging).

Host Ross Taylor sits down with Eric Sabin, Jon Allen, and the CEO of DOES Entertainment, Jared Stone, to pull back the curtain on how Clemson landed the King of Country's only show outside of Texas and what it takes to transform a college football stadium into a world-class concert venue.Watch the Full Episode on www.ClemsonPlus.com

On this episode of Texas Take, host Jeremy Wallace looks at how President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown is affecting Texas politics, Latino voters and families held at the Dilley detention facility. Houston Chronicle immigration reporter Julián Aguilar explains the cases of detained children and families, while Democratic strategist Laura Barberena breaks down how backlash over the crackdown could reshape South Texas congressional races. Plus, they'll get into why Texas music star Kacey Musgraves is helping shine a bigger spotlight on it all with her new tour. Finally, after seeing Post Malone in a Texas-themed anti-litter ad, Wallace counts down the five best "Don't Mess with Texas" ads in history. Sure, Willie Nelson is guaranteed to make the cut, but will George Strait, Matthew McConaughey, Warren Moon and Earl Campbell? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The guys cover everything from duck hunting stories and branding cattle to Zach's trip to The Masters with Peyton Manning and Duck Hodges, plus a hilarious round of Lyric or Lie where Zach proves he knows his 90s country.

The previous teams in that stadium had all failed.Nine years later, the Savannah Bananas are playing in 75 stadiums across 45 states in front of 3.2 million fans. They're selling out Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and NFL stadiums that the pro teams who play there struggle to fill. They're trying to break the attendance record at Kyle Field, currently held by George Strait at over 110,000. They have more TikTok followers than Major League Baseball. They spend zero on traditional advertising.How?One idea: nobody talks about normal.In this episode of The Car Wash Growth Playbook, Josh Taylor breaks down what separates the Bananas from every other team in sports and why the same principle applies to your car wash.

Good Juju, Country Legends & Chaos This Morning  What happens when country music legends, Hollywood tea, wild rivalry warnings, and a mystical good-luck ritual all collide before 8 a.m.? This episode kicks off with the crew easing into the morning after a big George Strait night in Austin

In this heartfelt episode of Conversations with Buddy, Holly shares a deeply personal journey of faith, grief, and transformation

Air Conditioning, Baby Owls & A Wild Austin Ode “Is adding air conditioning to a 150-year-old Texas dance hall preserving history… or changing it forever?” The crew kicks things off with big news about Gruene Hall, the oldest continually operating dance hall in Texas, finally getting air conditioning. Tricia breaks it down with love for tradition and excitement for comfort, while JB and Sandy debate whether sweating through a night of dancing is a rite of passage or just unnecessary suffering. One memorable line says it all: “You know when you go to Gruene Hall, you're gonna dance, drink beer… and sweat your butt off.” Until now.

Visit (or click

 That “mystery question” kicks off a hilarious, surprisingly eye-opening ride as JB, Sandy McIlree, and Tricia tackle the kind of everyday habit most people don't think twice about—until now. Before the rule reveal, the crew launches into peak best-friends energy: Sandy McIlree calls it like it is—“JB, you got scammed, man.”

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with singer-songwriter Grace Humphries, and we talk about what it feels like to be at the very beginning of an artist's journey—while already carrying real life, real grief, and a clear sense of purpose into the music.Grace shares what it's been like arriving at Belmont University as a spring admit, stepping into music school life for the first time and suddenly being surrounded by people who truly understand the creative path she's on. For the first time, she's in an environment where songwriting, performing, and artistic ambition feel normal—and that shift has been energizing.We also trace her musical origin story. Grace has been singing since childhood, gradually teaching herself piano and guitar while learning how to shape songs with intention. Along the way, we talk honestly about the profound impact of losing her brother Liam, and how that experience reshaped her worldview, her faith, and ultimately the emotional center of her songwriting.There have also been some remarkable moments along the way. At just 16 years old, Grace recorded at Abbey Road Studios, an experience that helped solidify her commitment to pursuing music seriously. Since then, she's spent time searching for the right creative collaborators and has now begun recording new material at Soundstage Studios in Nashville alongside top-tier session musicians.We also talk about the craft of songwriting itself—learning to balance authenticity with the realities of the modern music industry. Grace reflects on how her faith influences her work without forcing it into a single genre category, and why she's focused on staying grounded in the music even as the industry continues to evolve. By the end of our conversation, it's clear she's an artist with both talent and a strong sense of identity about the path she wants to follow.Key TakeawaysWhat it's like entering Belmont University as a spring admit and finding a creative community.Grace Humphries's early musical beginnings—teaching herself piano and guitar while learning to write songs.How the loss of her brother Liam shaped her perspective, faith, and songwriting voice.The surreal experience of recording at Abbey Road Studios at age 16.Finding the right producer and beginning new recordings at Soundstage Studios in Nashville.How Grace balances authentic songwriting with commercial awareness.Why she remains focused on the work despite the rapidly shifting music industry.Music from the EpisodeWhy'd You Give Up — Grace HumphriesFor Years — Grace HumphriesAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a long-form conversation podcast where host Brad Williams sits down with some of the most thoughtful musicians, composers, and artists working today.

She's the songwriter behind songs recorded by George Strait, Martina McBride, Merle Haggard, Gretchen Wilson, Vince Gill, Pam Tillis, Willie Nelson and many more. She's also an amazing singer in her own right, and is currently on tour with Trisha Yearwood.

Only a small slice of podcasts ever makes it to 100 episodes, so we wanted this one to feel like a real toast, not a victory lap. We talk honestly about how Try That in a Small Town started, why it mattered to us, and what it still means when the world tries to turn a simple message into something else. The heart of it is still the same: look out for your neighbor, stand up for people who can't defend themselves, and don't forget where you came from.We also rewind through the messy behind-the-scenes stuff that comes with building a weekly show while living in the music business, from our early “phone on the table” pilot to the deals that almost happened and the grind that never really turns off. If you've ever felt like your job follows you home, you'll understand this conversation about sacrifice, pressure, and why a great song can still light you back up.Then we have some fun with a question that instantly exposes every country fan's bias: the Mount Rushmore of male country singers. Dwight Yoakam, George Strait, Randy Travis, Waylon, Hank Jr., Garth, Morgan Wallen and more get name-checked, argued over, and defended like it's a barroom court case. We wrap by sharing what we've learned about each other over 100 episodes, shouting out a listener story of the week, and thanking the people who've kept the lights on, including Patriot Mobile, eSpaces, Peacemaker Coffee, and Original Glory.
