   What if I told you a small town Kansas boy became an all state running back and then walked on at Kansas State as a.... punter?   What if I told you he wound up becoming an All Big 12 performer while all through college was playing his guitar but kind of afraid to sing in front of anyone?  It's true.  Then Nick Walsh had a pro day in front of the Chiefs and a few other NFL teams and while running the 40, pulled a hamstring.    It was time to turn to music.    Well, fast forward a few years and Walsh appears to be on the verge of something really big.  A new song by superstar Luke Combs is the top new download in music.  It hasn't hit radio yet but Combs says its the only song he's ever recorded that gets stuck in his head.  Walsh is the co-writer of the song and this is the story of a man with many dreams.  And one of them is about to come true with a song called "Be By You" by Luke Combs and we'll even play it for you.  This is a great conversation as the American Dream is alive and well.

In the third hour, Mac & Bone are joined by JJ Jansen, who talks about all the moves the Panthers have made in free agency so far, they get into the fallout from the ACC Tournament, as Duke advanced to the semifinals, and the Heels and State got sent home, and Luke Combs causes a stir within the App State fan base See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We start talking about the average number of days that Americans get a good night sleep that Bobby would kill for.

They share the story behind the duo’s name, how they first met through songwriting, and what it’s like creating music together after 12 years as a couple. MacKenzie talks about balancing her music career with acting on the hit TV franchise 9-1-1:Nashville including the intense 15–16 hour filming days and how she landed the role of a doctor on the show. Bobby competes against Amy and Eddie in another round of Name the Celebrity on your head! Can you figure it out before they do?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sit down with country superstar Luke Combs for a wide-ranging conversation that starts in the football locker room and ends on the main stage. The boys kick things off debating whether concussions exist before getting into Luke’s high school football days, including being teammates with Caleb Pressley and watching Brandon Spikes be an absolute man amongst boys. From there, Luke walks through when he first got into singing and what it was like booking that very first show. Luke opens up about moving to Nashville, learning the music business the hard way, and the relationships that helped him find his lane. He talks about breaking the mold in country music, whether he ever got jaded after blowing up, and who he wanted to meet when he first arrived in town. The conversation rolls through his favorite album he’s written, becoming a parent, whether he’s actually a fan of snow, and his diehard App State football fandom—including his thoughts on the current state of college football. The episode opens with NFL free agency news, Maxx Crosby’s new deal, Ravens and Raiders outlook, an Andrew Luck vs. Joe Burrow debate, Justin Jefferson unfollowing J.J. McCarthy, Logan Paul possibly fighting NFL players, Will’s 40 time, BWTB stadium rankings, the White House UFC card, T-shirt contest winners, and Taylor’s Vegas trip. It wraps with talk about Luke’s new album, who he’s really a fan of, and a classic Bud Light question—plus country music, App State football, and balancing fame with family.

Ever wonder why certain songs follow you from ballparks to bar bands to late-night TV finales? We take a playful but pointed run at the “most overplayed song” ever with a live listener bracket that pits Free Bird, Don't Stop Believin', Sweet Caroline, Brown Eyed Girl, and more in a ruthless showdown. Along the way, we unpack what repetition really means, how stadium anthems, wedding playlists, and radio gold become rituals that comfort some of us and exhaust the rest. You'll leave with your hill to die on and a few hot takes from fellow fans to test your case.Before the sparks fly, we open with a rapid-fire look at Ella Langley, state champion dancer, voice-shifting surgery, a pellet gun for pests, bangs born from a bad haircut, and a one-pickle pre-show ritual that weirdly works. That personal color tees up a high-energy country news sweep: Lainey Wilson teams with Kevin Costner on The Grey House soundtrack beside titans like Willie Nelson and Shania Twain; Riley Green stretches into acting with a Yellowstone-adjacent series; Rascal Flatts hit RodeoHouston; Meghan Moroney and Ella Langley notch a chart milestone for women in country; Thomas Rhett welcomes baby number five; Luke Combs and Dierks Bentley map new tours; and LeAnn Rimes and Rodney Crowell drop fresh tracks. We also spotlight the Recording Academy's new Best Traditional Country Album category debuting in 2026—an overdue nod to classic songwriting and instrumentation.We round things out with a tight chart countdown spanning radio favorites and indie gems, a March 2016 flashback that tracks how we got here, and a lively mailbag: production vs. songwriting first impressions, dream guests (from Rick Beato to Mutt Lange and Kelly Clarkson), and the gear that changed everything as studios moved from tape to Pro Tools. It's a full-spectrum listen for country fans, music nerds, and anyone who has ever yelled “Free Bird!” at the wrong time.Episode LinksBob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/Dave Jackson: https://jayfranze.com/episode53/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140/Send a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

Nancy got her hair done yesterday and it’s darker than normal. Joey said that he would’ve never noticed a difference if she hadn’t mentioned it. Nancy brought her massage gun and tried to talk while Karly hit her with it. We talked about what happened at the BAFTA Awards when the man with Tourette’s Syndrome yelled out slurs while two Black actors were on stage. The live audience was warned in advance that something like that could happen, but TV viewers were not. The network chose to still air the moment, even though there was a 2-hour delay, leading to outrage from a lot of viewers.

The Knoxville McKay’s is closing due to the property being sold. Nancy is sad because McKay’s always reminded her of her grandmother that would go there to get trashy romance novels. Joey said that his grandma used to keep her romance novels on the back of the toilet. The conversation went a little wild from there. Joey listened to a podcast yesterday and got annoyed when the podcaster used the word “nosh.” It apparently means “food” or “snack,” but he thinks it is unnecessary. He asked what other words people hated. Answers included “literally,” “due to the fact,” and pretty much all of Gen Alpha slang words.

From Cher and Sinatra to Tom Waits, Stevie Nicks, and Bob Dylan, we debate tone, phrasing, range, and the magic test: can you spot them in one note?We kick off with a left-field warm-up on Texas Roadhouse—founder geography, 34-degree cutting rooms, 36-degree beer, fresh-daily bread, and how grassroots roll drops double as smart local marketing. Then it's a tight country news sweep: Ella Langley's triple-chart moment, Jason Aldean's milestone perspective against legacy greats, the Country Music Hall of Fame's American Currents signal, the Braves Country Fest lineup, new drops from Luke Combs to Charlie Crockett, a classic country tour package, and a Lee Brice single stirring up “country nowadays” debate. The throughline is clear: country's center is widening and listeners are picking winners across lanes.Our chart check balances mainstream and indie, spotlighting why a hold at number three means something different than a quick climb to one, and how pop-country crossovers, storytelling, and rock edges share the same field. Then a rapid-fire trivia duel (rock and country) transforms fun facts into a map of genre evolution—Zeppelin's first name, Master of Puppets in 1986, who ripped the Beat It solo, Opry induction stats, Chris Gaines, and more.The mailbag brings the sharpest industry insights. Can an artist be “outlaw” with label money? What's smarter today: 20-track albums or a disciplined singles drip? Is vinyl a real revenue lane or a nostalgia-forward merch play? Who owns the masters when singers go solo—and what can they do about it? We unpack strategy, contracts, and fan behavior without the fluff.Episode LinksVonray: https://jayfranze.com/episode1/Jason Hale: https://jayfranze.com/episode55/Kyle Fields: https://jayfranze.com/episode79/Lucy Becker: https://jayfranze.com/episode86/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140/Send a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

Plus, Luke Combs is getting his own venue at Universal CityWalk, Shanghai Disney celebrates 10 years, and a Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special is coming to Disney+. In today's episode:

What makes a halftime show unforgettable: fireworks or feeling? We put country's biggest names under the stadium lights and ask who can truly command 12 minutes seen by the world. From Carrie Underwood's precision to Garth Brooks's jet-fueled stagecraft, Dolly Parton's sparkle to Taylor Swift's era-spanning spectacle, we break down who has the catalog, pacing, and production sense to turn a giant field into a living music video without losing the heartbeat of live performance.We also dig into a wild Super Bowl weekend of music: Brandi Carlile's goosebump take on America the Beautiful, the All-American alternative halftime stacked with country heavyweights, and the ongoing tug-of-war between lip sync polish and live grit. Then there's Kid Rock hinting at a “Robert Ritchie” narrative pivot and a cross-genre tour that could pull fresh ears into country's orbit. Add festival news, a wave of new releases from Eric Church, Carter Faith, and Koe Wetzel, and Cody Johnson teasing collaborations with Luke Combs and Brothers Osborne, and you've got a snapshot of where country is leaning next.Our listener question spins into a masterclass on reinvention: Bruce Dickinson, Brian Johnson, and Sammy Hagar all lifted their bands by changing the center of gravity. The takeaway for artists is simple and hard—evolve without losing soul. We cap it off with chart rundowns, indie gems, and real talk on artist development, time triage, and why most “opportunities” only matter if they move the craft forward.Hit play, argue with our halftime picks, and tell us who you'd book for the big game.

Send a textA prayer for clarity. A 3 a.m. wake-up call. A career pivot no one saw coming. Drew Parker sat atop a decade of hard-won Nashville success—Grammy and CMA nods, stadium tours with Luke Combs, a label pushing singles at country radio—yet the joy faded when the lights went down. Wrestling with frustration and purpose, he asked God to speak so clearly that denial would be impossible. Five days later, his unbelieving manager called, shaken by nights of being jolted awake with one message: you're supposed to sing about Jesus.Reclaiming the Wild is back — April 24–26 at Abundant Blessings Farm (Stem, NC).

Our guest this week hails from Harlem, Georgia. Ray Fulcher is one of Nashville's most sought-after modern country songwriters. He first broke through co-writing a string of chart-topping hits for Luke Combs – including the multi-platinum "When It Rains It Pours" – before stepping into the spotlight with his own recordings on his 2022 debut album, 'Spray Painted Line.' Fulcher has toured extensively, sharing stages with Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde, and Matt Stell, and his songs have been streamed hundreds of millions of times across platforms. He has written for artists like Riley Green and Cody Johnson, including Johnson's recent hit "The Fall." 'Billboard' highlights his "unmistakable narrative grit," while Holler celebrates his "clean-cut melodies and lived-in honesty." Taste of Country notes his "ability to turn small-town details into widescreen emotion." I caught up with him recently on The Working Songwriter to hear about his musical journey so far.   Interested in sponsoring us? Contact BGS: https://bit.ly/sponsorBGSpods

Hour 1: Money can't buy happiness. Oh, be quiet Elon Musk. Some wise words from Mark Cuban instead. The menu for the Super Bowl is a little ridiculous. Let's make some prop bets for the big game. NBC is a little busy with the Olympics AND the Super Bowl this weekend. Flag football is coming to the Olympics. The cost to make those gold metals is higher than ever. Plus, Jada Pinkett Smith met Will Smith at an audition, and there hasn't been a president under 5'9” in 100 years. Hour 2: It's time for Bad Advice (email us badadvice973@gmail.com). Today Sarah, Vinnie, and the gang are talking about wedding invite etiquette and how to put up with your overbearing coworkers. Will Vinnie be invited to Bob's wedding? Only time will tell. If you don't care about the Super Bowl, here's what you should do instead! Nerd news! A cure for jetlag? What's the catch… Does eating cheese prevent Alzheimer's? 25 years later, and they're still not sure. Don't worry, Jupiter, size doesn't matter. (48:46) Hour 3: Bob recaps her adventure into the streets of Radio Row - including her first ever celebrity interview with MARTHA STEWART! Here are all the details. Shoutout to 957TheGame for the support. It's National Work Naked Day - excuse me?! Come on, we all did it over COVID… right? We don't talk about men's hair enough. Speaking of hair, Vinnie's family just dodged a bullet. (1:28:29) Hour 4: Luke Combs has to cancel his show this weekend, but every other famous person is in San Francisco and playing a show. If you're heading to the fan experience, make sure you check the hours! Taylor Swift dropped a music video for Opalite. The collectors have another vinyl to buy.

Joey has been looking into going to London for spring break but is worried about getting his family's passports in time. He would have to have them in exactly four weeks. He is worried about booking the trip and then not getting them in time. Joey and Nancy try to guess what Super Bowl commercials are advertising by just listening to the audio. They failed on all but one. Hot Tea: Nancy Guthrie is still missing, and there is now a $50,00 reward for anyone that can provide significant evidence in her case. Luke Combs has pulled out of the Madden Bowl tonight and is being replaced by Zach Bryan. Social media posts hint to the fact that his baby might be on the way or might have already been born! A set of siblings tried to kill each other over a “sticky bun.” Karly decided to start a Hinge dating profile: partly to put herself out there and partly for the entertainment of it. She asked Joey and Nancy for help writing her profile. So far, the prospects have not been good, and she doesn’t have high hopes. Joey paid the red-light ticket he got a few weeks back. He felt too guilty to not pay it. Lucky 7 for $50 to Old South Candy Yesterday, a man called to complain that Nancy is always negative. We were all shocked because Nancy is the most positive person on the show. We posted about it on Facebook and people came to Nancy’s rescue in the comments. Then, a lady called and said she wanted to punch the man in the throat for saying that about Nancy. We asked listeners to create “big game” commercials for the Joey and Nancy show to enter to win Justin Moore tickets. We got three commercials about us... and one about a Dandridge golf course?

Welcome to Part 2 of the second annual Seeing Them Live Year End Concert Review show, where a panel of returning guests share their favorite live music experiences from 2025. Host Charles brings together an eclectic group of music enthusiasts including Andy, Jessica, Steve, and superfan Dawn Fontaine to discuss the most memorable live music experiences of 2025.Dawn shares highlights from her incredible 55-show year, including intimate performances by New York punk bands The Lousekateers and Typhoid Rosie at JJ's Tavern in Florence, Massachusetts, and her milestone 50th Soraia show at Music Fest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The conversation takes an extraordinary turn when Dawn recounts her once-in-a-lifetime experience winning a contest in 2002 that put her on the Rolling Stones' private jet, where she met and chatted with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and the late Charlie Watts. The band even played her favorite song, "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," at the Denver show the next night. Dawn also discusses her new role booking shows for Soraia, turning her passion for the band into a dream job that allows her to be part of their team.Steve brings the star power with his account of seeing Lady Gaga at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which he ranks in his top 10 concerts of all time despite not being a superfan. He describes the show as mind-blowing, with incredible choreography, costume changes, and an intimate piano performance of "Die With a Smile" that transformed the energy of the 18,000-person venue. Steve also highlights seeing St. Vincent at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, praising her guitar skills and stage presence influenced by David Byrne, as well as catching Joan Jett with Alanis Morissette and being amazed at how Joan's voice hasn't changed over the decades. His Vegas weekend also included the Psychedelic Furs at House of Blues and Adele at Caesars Palace, making for an unforgettable concert trip.Andy rounds out the episode with his diverse concert year, starting with the mesmerizing guitar work of Mdou Moctar at The Space and a spontaneous third-row experience seeing Los Lobos and Los Lonely Boys at Hard Rock Gary. His spring break trip to Vegas delivered a surprise highlight when he caught Joe Russo's Almost Dead at Brooklyn Bowl, calling it his surprise concert of the year with their incredible double guitar attack.

Football Playoffs, Luke Combs, Bruce Springsteen, Greenland. Winter Storm Fern is Coming. Don Lemon, Tiktok, Paris Hilton, AOC, Stars And Stripes in the Cross Hairs.  Winter Storm Fern is coming—but so is Willie Geist. In this special Football Friday  episode of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff welcomes back one of the show's very first guests and one of the most trusted voices in American media: MS NOW Morning Joe co-anchor and Sunday Today host Willie Geist. Together they unpack a blizzard of news and sports, from Trump's escalating ICE raids and the horrific detention of five-year-old Liam Ramos to the killing of Renee Goode and what this all reveals about power, abuse and basic decency in America right now.​​ They go below the radar on Trump's mounting assault on the free press—DOJ's failed move against Don Lemon, the targeting of outlets like Stars and Stripes, and what it's like to do Morning Joe in a country where the president openly weaponizes the government against media critics. Willie explains why this is exactly the time to lean in, not check out, and why he still sees his work as a public service rooted in gratitude, fatherhood and deep support for veterans.​ And because it's Football Friday, they also break down NFL Championship Sunday—Patriots–Broncos, Seahawks–Rams, Drake May's poise vs. Matt Stafford's firepower—plus Giants, Harbaugh, Skattebo, the Yankees, Don Mattingly and why live sports and music (from Luke Combs to Springsteen in Newark) still bring divided Americans together. If you're furious about ICE, worried about democracy, but still love football, snow days and a little hope in the storm, this is your episode. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/Analytic⁠Join The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delivers a detailed analytical breakdown of Luke Combs' heartfelt focus track “Sleepless In a Hotel Room,” released January 7, 2026, via Sony Music Nashville—the emotional lead-in to his sixth studio album The Way I Am, arriving March 20, 2026.Co-written by Combs, Randy Montana, and Jonathan Singleton, the song originated over six years ago while Combs missed his wife Nicole Hocking (pre-marriage). The demo stayed largely unchanged, capturing raw longing and emotional distance on the road—interpretable as love/absence or post-breakup yearning, with ambiguous references to “our bedroom.” Produced by Combs, Singleton, and Chip Matthews, it explores the dual realities of home life versus touring life across the 22-track album, alongside prior releases like “My Kinda Saturday Night,” “Days Like These,” “15 Minutes,” “Giving Her Away,” and the No. 1 “Back in the Saddle” (his 19th career No. 1 on Billboard Country Airplay, extending his record streak).Combs holds historic milestones: first country artist to headline Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Newport Folk, and New Orleans JazzFest; four Diamond-certified singles (RIAA record); two songs over 1 billion Spotify streams; highest RIAA-certified country artist ever (168 million units); and most consecutive No. 1s at country radio. Fathers & Sons (2024) peaked No. 2 on Top Country Albums, maintaining his streak of top-2 debuts.The My Kinda Saturday Night Tour launches March 21, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas), with U.S. finale May 16 at Lambeau Field (Green Bay), plus international legs including three nights at Wembley Stadium (London), two at Scottish Gas Murrayfield (Edinburgh), two at Slane Castle (Ireland), and stops at Notre Dame Stadium, Neyland Stadium, Ohio Stadium, and more across Canada and Europe—many sold-out.With his third child expected winter 2026, this introspective release builds on Fathers & Sons' family focus. Analytic Dreamz examines how “Sleepless In a Hotel Room” serves as a long-gestating fan favorite, thematic gateway to the album's personal narratives, and aligns with Combs' genre-transcending dominance—blending intimate storytelling with stadium-scale reach amid massive streaming, radio, and touring momentum.Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff, data-driven deep dive into one of country music's biggest 2026 setups.
