Monday, June 8, 2026Brock welcomes his longtime best friend Josh Satterfield back into the studio for a full-on throwback episode packed with old radio memories, ridiculous breakup excuses, random facts, and classic Brock-and-Josh chemistry. The two reminisce about their college radio days on Jibber Jabber, their old show Nap Time, and how this version of Brock in the Morning is “the real deal” on Sam's Furniture Radio.The trending topic of the day is the most unhinged breakup excuse you've ever heard, and the answers do not disappoint. From “my mom doesn't think you're right for me” even though the mom had passed away years earlier, to “my therapist says I need someone who matches my moon phase,” to the classic “God told me we need to break up,” Brock and Josh dig into the wild, awkward, and hilarious ways people try to end relationships.The show also covers plenty of “What the Heck” moments, including new Hot Pocket Snack Breaks, an Olive Garden server allegedly being denied a $700 tip, a fistfight breaking out at a kindergarten graduation, and a priest in Detroit going full crime-fighter mode after chasing down a suspected car thief. Brock and Josh mix in random facts about zebras, gladiators, Russell Crowe, The Bahamas, The North Face, and the original lyrics to “Escape,” better known as the Pina Colada song.In the 7 AM Challenge, Josh plays “Answer Wrong and Win,” leading to some beautifully dumb answers involving chocolate milk, grocery shopping, and Olympic seasons. Later, the guys dive into dad rock, ranking bands like Weezer, The Offspring, Linkin Park, Korn, Incubus, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy, Creed, and Blink-182 as the new soundtrack of fatherhood. That naturally leads to memories of concerts, college, Mr. T commercials, Prince, Randy Travis, Lainey Wilson, donuts, and the kind of nostalgic chaos only best friends can create.The episode wraps with Brock and Josh talking about Modern Mission laser tag, wild cruise cabin plumbing disasters, terrible breakup excuses, celebrity gossip, and one last college-radio-style goodbye with a little Russ Taff energy. It is a funny, nostalgic, and all-over-the-place Monday show with best-friend banter at the center.
Producer Josh updates us on a Texas Softball superstition, a school principal fired for a Fetty Wap lyric, and the most unusual things left behind on Ubers this year. PLUS...an investigation on Lainey Wilson.

Nancy was shopping at a plant nursery with her dog, and someone called out “OMG, is that Brisket the bulldog?” She was not expecting her dog to ever get recognized in public. Joey’s family had a reunion with the dog that they rehomed several years ago. Her name is Minnie-Boots, and she never really liked the Tack family when she lived with them... and still doesn’t really like them now. Nancy’s son Parker wants to lease-to-own a nice mobile home in Blount County.

Lainey Wilson's documentary is out on Netflix. Last year we hosted her album release party and the film crew was there. SO...are we moviestars??
Nancy was shopping at a plant nursery with her dog, and someone called out “OMG, is that Brisket the bulldog?” She was not expecting her dog to ever get recognized in public. Joey’s family had a reunion with the dog that they rehomed several years ago. Her name is Minnie-Boots, and she never really liked the Tack family when she lived with them... and still doesn’t really like them now. Nancy’s son Parker wants to lease-to-own a nice mobile home in Blount County.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KAnalytic Dreamz dives deep into Ella Langley's sophomore major-label album Dandelion, released April 10, 2026. This 18-track project arrives as the most talked-about country album of 2026 so far, debuting at #1 on iTunes as the most-downloaded release of the day and positioning itself as a strong contender for the Billboard 200. The album builds directly on the historic success of lead single “Choosin' Texas,” which spent 6+ non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100—surpassing Taylor Swift's record for the longest-running #1 by a female country artist—and 19-20 consecutive weeks atop Hot Country Songs. It became the first country song by a woman to simultaneously lead Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay, while also driving streaming dominance with 7 weeks at #1 on Streaming Songs and 26.6 million U.S. streams in one week alone. “Be Her” added to the momentum, jumping to #2 on Streaming Songs with 14.8 million weekly streams and helping Langley become the first female artist to hold #1 and #2 simultaneously on that chart with country songs. Dandelion blends traditional country nostalgia with modern songwriting clarity, drawing influences from Neil Young, Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson, Chris Stapleton, Patsy Cline, and more. Key collaborators include Miranda Lambert as co-writer on “Choosin' Texas,” co-producer of the album, and featured artist on “Butterfly Season.” The full tracklist features standout cuts like the title track, “We Know Us,” “Low Lights,” “Loving Life Again,” the Kitty Wells cover “It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” and bookend intros/outros of “Froggy Went A Courtin'.” Early critical reception highlights the album's emotional honesty, timeless storytelling, and peak Shania Twain-level vocal versatility, with reviewers calling Langley a nostalgist focused on songs built to last. The project signals a broader shift for women in country music, amid rising commercial and critical momentum for artists like Langley, Megan Moroney, and Lainey Wilson. Analytic Dreamz breaks down every segment of Dandelion, its record-breaking chart impact, musical style, and what this moment means for Ella Langley's career as a multi-genre force.

From the Patriot Mobile studio powered by E|Spaces, the guys dive into a packed episode of Try That In A Small Town. They kick things off by reacting to the latest ACM Award nominations: who belongs, who doesn't, and why politics still run the game. Entertainer, Group, Duo, New Artist, Album, Song, Single, and Musical Event of the Year all get the TTIAST treatment, with plenty of opinions on names like Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Alabama, Zac Brown Band, Parmalee, and more. Kelly shares a huge personal milestone: after interning for Reba's company back in the 90s, he finally lands his first Reba cut on a song written in 2005. That opens up a conversation about prayer, persistence, and whether Christians should pray about career and business. The guys revisit the backstory of “If I Didn't Love You” (Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood), from losing a duet slot to writing something ultra-specific on a deadline and watching it connect. In the fan-favorite Dip Shitty-its segment, they unload on Masters “pond jumpers,” public bathroom pee etiquette, clapping when servers drop dishes, trash in urinals, rental car abuse, and more everyday behaviors that drive them crazy. They close with a powerful Small Town Hero story from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, where a principal charged an armed student, took a bullet, and likely saved lives. It's exactly the kind of “try that in a small town” courage the show was built to highlight. If you like country music, songwriting war stories, small town grit, and unfiltered opinions, this one delivers from front to back.

You tighten your gig prep by treating every show like a pro mission: build rock-solid routines, line-check your gear and apps, and know your insurance, splitter snake, setlist, click, and IEM plan before you ever hit the stage. You walk into a wedding or club already covered with proper liability, routing, charts, and monitoring so you can stop worrying about logistics and start playing the room. Always Be Performing. Onstage, you think like a storyteller, not just a musician: you record full shows to review your banter and flow, you decide when the click helps and when to ditch it, and you refine what makes your band distinctive so people remember your name and feel the FOMO. Offstage, you act like a lab: you binge showcases at events like SXSW, steal the best ideas, use AI to critique rehearsals, and keep your gig bag dialed so every performance gets sharper, louder, and more undeniable. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 527 – Monday, March 30th, 2026 March 30th: Take a Walk in the Park Day 00:01:29 What is your gig prep process? 00:06:55 Skylar-How does a band get a certificate of insurance for a wedding gig?

Nancy’s knees have been hurting due to arthritis and all the landscaping work she has been doing. Her friend told her to put cabbage on her knees to help draw out the swelling.

TL's Road House is back with another episode! This week, Alabama-born duo Muscadine Bloodline joins Tracy in studio for a lighthearted conversation ranging from how they got started to their love of fishing. Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton have spent nearly a decade carving out their own lane as independent artists, building a loyal fanbase through six albums, electric live shows and their breakout hit “Porch Swing Angel.” After sharing the road with popular artists like Post Malone and Lainey Wilson, they reflect on their journey from growing up on the Gulf Coast of Alabama to becoming one of country music's most distinctive duos. Tune in to hear more about their deep-rooted love of music, the inspiration behind their lyrical storytelling and the moments that have shaped their sound and connection with fans along the way.
Welcome to your daily comedy podcast, where absolutely nothing makes sense and we like it that way.Today's show kicks off with a story that nobody asked for but everyone will remember forever: a 73-year-old former born-again Christian reinventing herself as an escort named Busty Granny. She spent decades in prayer and celibacy, then hit 57, downloaded the internet, and said “oh… THIS is what we've been missing.” Now she's got clients young enough to still have homework and zero interest in OnlyFans because, quote, that sounds boring. Inspirational? Traumatizing? Both.Then we get into the most depressing career math of all time: a woman casually sings seven words into her phone for a Dr Pepper jingle and walks away with $2 million, while the rest of us are out here working full-time jobs and eating gas-station sandwiches. Naturally, this leads to the crew trying to invent jingles for every brand that will absolutely never call back.Somehow that spirals into one of the most fun debates we've had in a while — the biggest debut albums of all time. We're talking massive numbers, MTV miracles, and how one 4am spin turned a “failed” album into a 50-million-copy monster. Along the way we argue, forget basic facts, remember them loudly, and realize radio used to be way more powerful than TikTok will ever admit.Movies get dragged (respectfully… mostly), Brendan Fraser gets the comeback love he deserves, and we debate whether seeing a movie in a theater automatically adds two letter grades just because popcorn exists.In Crap on Celebrities, we hit everything from band lawsuits and surprise documentaries to tour dropouts, concert ticket chaos, and some genuinely heartbreaking but honest conversations about aging, memory, and how terrifying it is to not know what's happening inside your own brain.We also celebrate birthdays, overshare existential dread, and somehow end the show discussing a literal geyser of poop water blasting into the Potomac River — because if we're going to spiral, we're doing it together.It's another daily comedy podcast episode packed with weird news, pop culture, dark laughs, and moments where we all pause and go, “Wait… are we okay?”Spoiler: probably not. But at least we're funny.MUSICMotley Crue has officially won its heated legal battle against former guitarist Mick Mars. Lainey Wilson sure has kept herself busy. It was just announced that Netflix has officially acquired the new documentary "Lainey Wilson: Keepin' Country Cool". It drops on April 22nd. Two more artists have dropped out of the 2026 Rock the Country Festival. Morgan Wade and Carter Faith are no longer part of the lineup. And neither artist has shared an official reason for stepping away. Their exit comes just days after Ludacris also dropped out. His team called his original booking a "mix-up." The festival is headlined by Kid Rock and will feature Jason Aldean, Jelly Roll, Miranda Lambert, and more.In other Kid Rock News – he went to Congress to confront an issue we're all united on: How much Ticketmaster and Live Nation charge for shows.

TVThe fourth season of Ted Lasso is set to debut this summer. Stephen Colbert announced on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" that the final episode of "The Late Show" will air on Thursday, May 21. MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS:Matthew Lillard recently caught a stray from Quentin Tarantino when he said he didn't care for him. But that resulted in an outpouring of love that made Matthew feel like he was living through his own wake. Actress and producer Patricia Schneider has filed for divorce from Rob Schneider, describing their 15-year marriage as "irretrievably broken" with no chance of reconciliation. Bill Cosby has admitted under oath that he obtained prescriptions for Quaaludes specifically to give to women. Bruce Willis' wife, Emma says Bruce is unaware of his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.AND FINALLYHere are five of the BEST:1. Jack Black: "I was begging my boss for an extra shift, he overheard and tipped me $100 on a $20ish tab. From then on, he never left me less than a $50 tip and would always check in with me when it was the end of the month to make sure I had rent cash."2. Harrison Ford: "My uncle said that he's incredibly nice and took the whole crew out for lunch to thank them for working on his helicopter."3. Justin Bieber: "He was by himself at a mall, and he wasn't trying to be incognito . . . He drew me in with a big hug and chatted me up. He was lovely."4. John Travolta: "The guy is totally down to earth . . . He is also someone who asks a lot of questions and is actually interested in what you have to say."5. Dolly Parton: "Can confirm that she's just as great as you'd assume. She was just so nice to everyone. She was a lot smaller than I expected."Here are five of the WORST:1. Jennifer Lopez: "She was super rude and dismissive . . . and had this attitude that she was better than you."2. Jenna Fischer from "The Office": "[She] was really difficult to work with. Just really demanding."3. Jared Leto: "[He's] a narcissistic [A-hole]. He complains about every single thing and really enjoys being difficult. I think he does it for fun."4. Diana Ross: "[She] cut in front of me at the airport check-in counter once . . . I was flabbergasted by this lady who had the guts to sweep in front of us AND touch the gate agent's computer."5. John Cusack: "Outside of a restaurant: 'Hey, Mr. Cusack, I like your movies.' . . . 'I don't care.'"AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!

Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson is one of country music's biggest breakout stars, with chart-topping hits like “Heart Like a Truck,” “Watermelon Moonshine” and this year's Grammy-nominated “Somewhere Over Laredo.” But long before the awards and sold-out shows, Wilson spent years knocking on doors in Nashville, facing rejection, uncertainty, and moments that tested her belief in herself, all while staying true to her voice and her storytelling roots. In this conversation from July 2024, Wilson sits down with Hoda to reflect on her long road to success, the power of patience, and what it really takes to keep going when the dream feels far away.
