Podcast appearances and mentions of Natalie Maines

As the Dixie Chicks' lead singer, Natalie Maines, made an off-the-cuff remark at a London concert on 12th March, 2003, she could not have known the comments would haunt her band (now known as ‘The Chicks') for decades.  Just days before the US invasion of Iraq, and to cheers from the British crowd, she said from the stage: “We're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas.” A Guardian journalist jotted it down, and when those words reached the other side of the Atlantic, all hell broke loose. Dixie Chicks CDs were steamrolled in protest, country radio stations blacklisted their songs, and the band never recovered. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly talk through the Chicks' damage control strategy; ask whether the backlash was an organic response from Conservative Country fans, or an orchestrated, sexist campaign; and reveal how Taylor Swift has taken note of their downfall… Further Reading: • ‘The Dixie Chicks | Music' (The Guardian, 2003): https://www.theguardian.com/music/2003/mar/12/artsfeatures.popandrock • 'The Chicks' 2003 George W.

pWotD Episode 2427: The Chicks Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 419,934 views on Sunday, 24 December 2023 our article of the day is The Chicks.The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) are an American country music band from Dallas, Texas. Since 1995, the band has consisted of Natalie Maines (lead vocals, guitar) and sisters Martie Maguire (vocals, fiddle, mandolin, guitar) and Emily Strayer (vocals, guitar, banjo, Dobro). Maguire and Strayer, both née Erwin, founded the band in 1989 in Dallas, Texas, with bassist Laura Lynch and vocalist and guitarist Robin Lynn Macy. They performed bluegrass and country music, busking and touring the bluegrass festival circuits and small venues for six years without attracting a major label. In 1992, Macy left and Lynch became the lead vocalist. Upon signing with Monument Records Nashville in 1997 and replacing Lynch with Maines, the Dixie Chicks achieved success with their albums Wide Open Spaces (1998) and Fly (1999). After Monument closed its Nashville branch, the Dixie Chicks moved to Columbia Records for Home (2002). These albums achieved multi-platinum sales in the United States, Canada, and Australia, along with several charting singles on the American Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. "There's Your Trouble", "Wide Open Spaces", "You Were Mine", "Cowboy Take Me Away", "Without You", and a cover of Bruce Robison's "Travelin' Soldier" reached number one. The Dixie Chicks also reached number one on the Adult Contemporary chart with their 2002 cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide".Days before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Maines told a London audience that the Dixie Chicks did not endorse the war and were ashamed of US President George W. Bush being from Texas. The remarks triggered boycotts in the US and a backlash from fans. After a hiatus, the Dixie Chicks released Taking the Long Way in 2006, an album informed by the backlash. "Not Ready to Make Nice" became their biggest crossover single, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100. After another hiatus, Maguire and Strayer released an album in 2009 as the Court Yard Hounds. The Dixie Chicks reunited to tour in the 2010s. In 2020, they removed "Dixie" from their name, citing negative connotations, and released their first album in 14 years, Gaslighter.The Chicks have won 13 Grammy Awards, including five in 2007 for Taking the Long Way, which received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and its single "Not Ready to Make Nice", which received the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year. By July 2020, with 33 million certified albums sold and sales of 27.9 million albums in the US, the Chicks had become the best-selling all-woman band and best-selling country group in the US during the Nielsen SoundScan era (1991–present).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:58 UTC on Monday, 25 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see The Chicks 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 Aria Neural.

Born in Lubbock, Texas, Andy Eppler's love of music began while watching his mother sing in church. Having been diagnosed with AD/HD, Andy had to work hard to overcome the challenges posed by traditional schooling, but he ultimately learned how to work in solitude on various projects, and once he graduated from South Plains College with a commercial music degree, there was no stopping him.Andy Eppler has been as prolific as an artist can be, having authored many songs, books, art pieces and films. In 2022, Texas Tech University announced a new Andy Eppler Collection to be added to their University Archives alongside other artists such as Waylon Jennings, Buddy Holly and Natalie Maines. He considers the most meaningful waypoints in his career to be associated with political activism, cultural change and community outcomes. His goal isn't to become famous, but to become meaningful. He hopes his passion can be fertilizer for other artists who want to grow their hearts. He wants his life to be measured in inspiration.

It's 2003, and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks is about to step onto a stage in the UK.

The country music scene erupts, and Toby Keith leads the charge. Armed with his anthem 'Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue,' he launches a takedown mission against Maines and the band. In this episode, we're diving deep into the feud that not only led to the dramatic downfall of the Dixie Chicks but also lit the fuse on a nationwide culture war.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to another episode of Triple M's gig review series, brought to you by Chris! In this episode, we dive deep into the world of The Chicks, a trio of powerhouse women in the music industry. Known for their bold voices—both musically and socially—The Chicks have had a rollercoaster journey in their career. Two decades ago, they faced cancelation in the U.S. for outspoken political remarks against then-President George W. Bush. Far from being silenced, Emily Strayer, Natalie Maines, and Martie Maguire held their ground, producing hits like "Not Ready To Make Nice" that defiantly declared their stance. Fast forward to today, The Chicks are back and as fearless as ever. We give you an insider's look at their sold-out performance at Qudos Bank Arena. With a track list that spares no one—be it unfaithful partners, greedy executives, or oppressive governments—their lyrics are as sharp as ever. Yet, it's not all fire and brimstone. Their melodic harmonies, accompanied by a skillful 6-piece band and their own instrumental talents, soften the blows. Add to that stunning visual graphics and top-notch sound quality, and you have a concert that's a feast for both the ears and eyes. So why have The Chicks received a standing ovation at every Australian venue? Tune in to find out why many believe that their continuing success is the best form of revenge.

*Please imagine the following description being in crisp, three part bluegrass harmony.The Chicks are the focus of this week's episode, and wow is it a ride. Riding the success of two monster records, "Home" was poised to keep pace, or even outpace, everything they had done to that point. However, their momentum was brought to an abrupt halt on the opening night of the tour for this record, when lead singer Natalie Maines spoke out against the looming US invasion of Iraq.Listen as Cody and Hilary discuss the fallout, the bravery, and the way these fairly traditional songs take on a fuller meaning when they're being played by three women who are unafraid to say what they feel, regardless of the backlash.The release of "Home" went from a victory lap, to a statement of defiance.Thanks for listening!

Today's episode is about "Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing", a 2006 doc about the (formerly Dixie) Chicks and the fallout from Natalie Maines' famous 2003 comment, "We do not want this war, this violence. We're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas". The film was directed by Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck. Our guest for this episode is the music writer and podcast producer Dylan Tupper Rupert. We follow the band as they deal with the immediate repercussions of the statement and get a view of the social and political climate in the U.S. during the early days of the Iraq War. The movie takes us back and forth between 2003 and the band's 2005-6 recording of their next album, Taking the Long Way, and subsequent tour. The movie presents the Chicks as a trio with an unbreakable bond facing the first real challenge to their spectacular career. While the focus is on "the comment" and what follows, the movie also gives us an opportunity to appreciate the Chicks' incredible catalog of hits and undeniable musicianship.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Temp VI El tiempo de las brujas ya pasó. La caza de brujas quedó en Salem. O eso creemos. Hoy, quiero ofreceros un programa especial para mecenas, un caso del que muchos seréis conocedores, por haber visto la película, sin saber que está basada en un hecho real. Otros, tal vez, no hayáis escuchado esta historia, espeluznante, por los hechos acaecidos, injusta por el desenlace y dramática, en su conjunto. Se conoce como los tres chicos de West Memphis. Comenzando con un terrible suceso, seguido por un sinsentido en todo lo que rodea la historia. Me quiero enfocar, en como una sociedad entera actuó, buscando justicia, encontrando, venganza, pero de un modo, injusto y desafortunado. Ocurrió en West Memphis, Arkansas, Estados Unidos, en el año 1993. Con la llegada del Rock más potente, algunos personajes se escudaron en él para hacer el mal y comenzar así lo que se llamó… Pánico Satánico. Solo hay que recordar a Charles Manson y a la familia, cuando asesinan a la actriz Sharon Tate, esposa de Roman Polanski, y a todos los que se encontraban en una fiesta. Fue tal vez, la primera vez que la prensa hablaba de crimen ritual, señalándolos como devotos de Satán. En el siglo pasado, en Estados Unidos se denunciaron más de 12.000 abusos sexuales, en rituales satánicos. Tres niños de ocho años de edad, Steve Branch, Michael Moore y Christopher Byers, cogen sus bicicletas para salir a dar una vuelta por el vecindario. No lejos de casa, hay una zona verde, salvaje, un pequeño bosque al que llamaban, Robin Hood Hills. Tal vez, estén allí, porque pasaran algún tiempo, antes de volver a ser vistos. Se señala como los autores de la desaparición de los pequeños a un chico de 18 años, Damien Wayne Echols, a otro de 16 Jason Baldwin y por último, a Jessie Miskelley Jr de 17 años. Cadena perpetua y pena de muerte… pero pasados 18 años de cárcel, todo dará un giro sorprendente. Y es entonces, cuando la sociedad americana, en especial personajes famosos, comienzan una campaña para que sean liberados. Personajes como Peter Jackson, director entre otras, de las películas del Señor de los Anillos, la banda de Trash Metal, METALLICA, Henry Rollins, cantante del grupo DISTURBED, Eddie Veder, de PEARL JAM, La banda de chicas de Country Pop, DIXIE CHICKS liderada por Natalie Maines, el actor Johnny Depp o la humorista Margaret Cho.

As a child of the 1970's, vinyl records were intrinsic to Ben Harper's understanding of and approach to music. “If somebody came to the house and said 'We're gonna repossess either your refrigerator or your turntable,'" he states today, "they would've been hauling out the fridge.” Growing up, the 3x Grammy-winner and heralded lap steel guitarist/vocalist's taste jumped from Ozzy Osbourne to Robert Johnson to Funkadelic to Jackson Browne on any given day. To get to those places, he points to varied avenues of discovery, from the underground world of skateboarding to his family's folk music shop and museum. That same diverse recipe eventually led to an equally unique list of collaborators over the years, including Ringo Starr, Eddie Vedder, Harry Styles, Natalie Maines and The Blind Boys of Alabama. On today's program, Ben recounts an emotional day spent with soul legend Solomon Burke, finding the blues buried in hip-hop, and the importance of communicating with our former selves. Ben's latest album Wide Open Light is out now, wherever you get physical or digital music. Visit benharper.com for tour dates, socials and more.

Taylor Swift as an Activist In 2003, the Dixie Chicks were, in today's terms, “canceled.” The trio girl band criticized then-president George W.

Can Country music help lead the U.S. out of the gun debate? There is a long history of famous country musicians using their platforms to comment on social and political issues. But since the lead singer of The Chicks, Natalie Maines, was ostracized after criticizing then President George W. Bush, country music stars have felt safer keeping their political views out of the public eye. Musician Ketch Secor of the band Old Crow Medicine Show is trying to change that. After the shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, Ketch wrote an Op-ed in The New York Times calling for country music stars to let go of the fear of retaliation from their fanbase, and to break their silence on the gun debate. Audie talks with Ketch about what it's like to be a musician and a parent in Nashville right now and what he thinks country musicians can do to help prevent another mass shooting.  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

After the shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, Ketch wrote an Op-ed in The New York Times calling for country music stars to let go of the fear of retaliation from their fanbase, and to break their silence on the gun debate. Audie talks with Ketch about what it's like to be a musician and a parent in Nashville right now and what he thinks country musicians can do to help prevent another mass shooting.  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

About Erin Duvall There are many roles women play on a daily basis, creating a need for several different faces that each resembles the role authentically. Erin Duvall's intention is to show you all of her roles and “faces'' via her successful mediums of Music, Motherhood, and Entrepreneurship. Collectively - “The Three Faces of Erin''. She aims to have you unmask your “faces'', embrace your roles and find what inspires you. The Texas-born singer-songwriter, Erin Duvall, was raised on a foundation of the country, blues, gospel, and rock 'n' roll. Erin's unique approach to music has drawn comparisons to singers like Janis Joplin, Natalie Maines, and Susan Tedeschi. As the fourth of five children in her family, Erin learned to advocate for herself and what she wanted at an early age, which was to always perform. By delivering raspy country vocals, Erin sets herself apart from other women in today's country music scene. She belts, teases, and soars into listeners' ears with her roadhouse bluesy tunes and the sultry sounds of her vocals. Erin's debut album, Out of Focus, was recorded in 2010 with producer and songwriter Rob Giles. Rob Giles is a singer-songwriter known for his solo work, along with working with Andy Summers of the Police and the band The Rescues. Taking a pause to become a mother to four beautiful children, and as a single mother, she knows the importance of hard work and following your dreams. Currently, Erin is working with Terry and Simeon Baker of Baker Brothers Music. With over 30 years of experience, they have worked with Michael McDonald, Aretha Franklin, Kirk Franklin, Patty Austin, Wayne Newton, and Bishop TD Jakes, to name a few. Together they are working to perfectly blend country, gospel, and rock ‘n' roll into one sound, showcasing the music that was rooted in Erin's upbringing. The story of Erin Duvall has taken her around the sun twice and led her back to her passion for music time and time again. As a Mompreneur, Erin is the creator and founder of the children's animated character Aunty E, who teaches children about all types of music. The exciting animated world of Aunty E started in 2006 with producer Billy Henry. Billy has worked with prominent acts like The Chicks, Courtyard Hounds, Fleetwood Mac, and Shakira. The project is very near and dear to Erin's heart, and she is excited to share the progress with all of you as she revamps it. Aunty E now features over twenty characters, a book series, and an album. As a

On March 10, 2003, just days before the American invasion of Iraq, anti-war protests were growing in the streets of London. It was the start of the Dixie Chicks Top of the World Tour, and between songs at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire, Chicks lead singer, Natalie Maines, told the audience she was against war and violence, too. The resulting backlash went waaaay down in history as the premier example of modern-day cancellation. This is the story of what happens when “free speech” gets tested by those touting god, guns, and country. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lyricsforlunch/support

No stranger to change or the exploration that comes with it, Carrie Welling has been navigating life's twists, turns, demons, and discoveries from a young age. A self-described ‘military brat', Welling's struggle to feel rooted in any one place carved a unharmonious path of heartbreak, doubt, and insecurity that defined her 20s and early 30s. Her bold, sultry voice, reminiscent of Sheryl Crow's grit, Natalie Maines' twang, and Stevie Nicks' heart, is upstaged only by the genuine love and connection this natural performer has with her fans both on and off stage. But embracing confidence has not always been easy for this singer-songwriter, who speaks candidly about her battle to be good to herself, and to quiet the inner voice nagging her to be “perfect”. Late in the summer of 2022, a Tasty Brew Music listener and local house concert presenter from Lawrence, Kansas gave me the heads up about Carrie. We weren't able to get her live in the studio while she was in the area, but after some initial technical difficulties, we were able to have a nice on air conversation about her lyrical journey… including the importance of having an organizational and logistical support team and auxiliary financial support via platforms like Patreon. I was so encouraged to hear of her connections with personal favorites Mary Bragg and Barnaby Bright. Welling put out a Patreon campaign, embracing her dream to finally quit the side hustle and focus on music full-time. Her patrons, which Carrie refers to as her “champions”, have proven to be an integral part of the artist's journey - not only supporting her online but also at live performances across the globe. “My Patreon champions started out as my fans and now we're all friends. Some of them I talk to everyday, and they give me music ideas! They keep me going,” she says. Enjoy my conversation with Nashville's Carrie Welling.

Rusty and Mike (and Mason the producer) talk about their love of King of the Hill and what you can expect from this episode-by-episode podcast. In this extra Friday episode, they talk about some minor reoccurring characters in King of the Hill: Other Gribbles Nancy Hicks-Gribble (voiced by Ashley Gardner) (née Hicks) is Dale's wife, Joseph's mother and weather-girl-turned-anchor for local news station Channel 84, and is 44 years old. She had a 14-year affair with John Redcorn, which produced her son, Joseph, although the affair ended when John Redcorn befriends Dale. Joseph John Gribble (voiced by Brittany Murphy in 1997–2000, Breckin Meyer in 2000–2009) is Dale and Nancy's 13-year-old son[citation needed] and one of Bobby's best friends. Despite Joseph's obvious Native American features, his similarity in appearance to John Redcorn, and the fact that his middle name is "John," neither he nor Dale is aware that Redcorn is his biological father (Nancy refers to Dale having a "Jamaican grandmother" to explain Joseph's dark complexion). Bug Gribble (voiced by David Herman) is Dale's father, Nancy's father-in-law, and Joseph's grandfather, who had been estranged from Dale for many years for kissing Nancy at her and Dale's wedding reception. Bug is actually gay and had been flirting with a Filipino caterer instead, and, upon sensing Dale's imminent entry into the room, attempted to hide his orientation from his son by grabbing and kissing 'the nearest thing in a dress'. Other Dauterives Gilbert Fontaine Dauterive (voiced by David Herman) (pronounced "zhil-BEAR") is Bill's cousin. Though at one point shown to live on the family estate with his aunt and cousin in a Louisiana bayou in "A Beer Can Named Desire", he and Bill eventually wind up as the last two living Dauterives. Esmé Dauterive (voiced by Meryl Streep) was Bill and Gilbert's aunt, and matriarch of the Dauterive clan. She expressed deep concern over the family's ever-shrinking headcount, lamenting that "the Dauterive blood is down to a trickle". Violetta Dauterive (voiced by Natalie Maines) was Bill and Gilbert's cousin. She lived on the family estate in Louisiana with Esmé, Gilbert, and Rose and Lily, the widows of two other Dauterive cousins. Lenore Dauterive (voiced by Ellen Barkin) is Bill's mean-spirited ex-wife. She is mentioned frequently throughout the course of the series, but only appears twice – once being when Bill and Bobby watch Bill's wedding video. Eric Dauterive (voiced by Stephen Root) is Bill's implicitly-deceased father, who was said to be an abusive man and a heavy drinker, and is largely responsible for Bill's emotional instability. Other Boomhauers Patch Boomhauer (voiced by Brad Pitt) is Boomhauer's sleazy, womanizing younger brother. He appears in "Patch Boomhauer", apparently engaged to marry Boomhauer's old flame, Katherine—much to Boomhauer's mounting displeasure, as he himself has unresolved feelings for Katherine, and Patch's continued philandering angers him for her sake. Dr. and Mrs. Boomhauer (voiced by Mike Judge) are Boomhauer's parents. Mrs. Boomhauer is shown to speak like Boomhauer in "Peggy's Turtle Song". "Mee-Maw" Boomhauer (voiced by Mike Judge) is Boomhauer's elderly grandmother. She is seen in "Dang Ol' Love", when Boomhauer, infatuated with Marlene, goes to Mee-Maw to ask for a family-heirloom wedding ring as well as "Lucky's Wedding Suit", where she is seen sitting with the other guests as well as dancing with Patch for a brief moment.

Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram Follow us on YouTube ------------------------------ The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, that comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all time[1] and were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962. As their popularity grew into the intense fan frenzy dubbed "Beatlemania", the band acquired the nickname "the Fab Four", with Epstein, Martin and other members of the band's entourage sometimes given the informal title of "fifth Beatle". By early 1964, the Beatles were international stars and had achieved unprecedented levels of critical and commercial success. They became a leading force in Britain's cultural resurgence, ushering in the British Invasion of the United States pop market, and soon made their film debut with A Hard Day's Night (1964). A growing desire to refine their studio efforts, coupled with the untenable nature of their concert tours, led to the band's retirement from live performances in 1966. At this time, they produced records of greater sophistication, including the albums Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966) and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), and enjoyed further commercial success with The Beatles (also known as "the White Album", 1968) and Abbey Road (1969). Heralding the album era, their success elevated the album to the dominant form of record consumption over singles; they also inspired a greater public interest in psychedelic drugs and Eastern spirituality, and furthered advancements in electronic music, album art and music videos. In 1968, they founded Apple Corps, a multi-armed multimedia corporation that continues to oversee projects related to the band's legacy. After the group's break-up in 1970, all principal members enjoyed success as solo artists and some partial reunions have occurred. Lennon was murdered in 1980 and Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001. McCartney and Starr remain musically active. The Beatles are the best-selling music act of all time, with estimated sales of 600 million units worldwide.[4][5] They hold the record for most number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart (15), most number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (20), and most singles sold in the UK (21.9 million). The band received many accolades, including seven Grammy Awards, four Brit Awards, an Academy Award (for Best Original Song Score for the 1970 documentary film Let It Be) and fifteen Ivor Novello Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, and each principal member was inducted individually between 1994 and 2015. In 2004 and 2011, the group topped Rolling Stone's lists of the greatest artists in history. Time magazine named them among the 20th century's 100 most important people.

The Flat River Band, consisting of three brothers Andy, Chad and Dennijo Sitze, grew up in a multi-generational family band. Performing alongside their parents and grandparents, they held residencies at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri and at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Throughout their tenure in music, the Missouri natives have charted #1 hits on the bluegrass gospel charts and have opened for The Chicks' Natalie Maines, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, TG Sheppard and more.

Kathleen opens the show drinking a Raygun IPA from Backpocket Brewing in Coralville, IA. She talks about the highlights of her weekend in Iowa City, Des Moines, and Kansas City including meeting Justin Bieber's Tour Manager at the hotel in Des Moines and shopping at her favorite Raygun store. She then reviews her Kansas City Sunday lunch at the downtown Arthur Bryant's location in Kansas City.“GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for new and delicious not-so-nutritious junk food AND in continuing her search for the best Ranch, Kathleen samples Better Made's Special Salt & Vinegar chips, which she rates a B+ and loves the vinegar content. She moves on to try Hidden Valley Ranch Secret Sauce, which is sweet and tangy, and she thinks would be fantastic on chicken fingers. She finishes her tasting with Iowa's own Brown Dog's Farm Habanero Peach hot sauce, which scorches her mouth and makes her laugh out loud. QUEEN'S COURT: Kathleen read an article where Queen Stevie Nicks announces that the person with whom is her “favorite person to sing with” is Natalie Maines from The Chicks (The Dixie Chicks). The two artists first crossed in 2002 when The Chicks covered Fleetwood Mac's ‘Landslide', and they eventually had the chance to perform it together, which was an unforgettable moment for Nicks.UPDATES: Kathleen gives updates on the oldest person in the world, and the status of Anna Delvey's deportation fight.“HOLY SHIT THEY FOUND IT”: Kathleen is amazed to read about the discovery of a 1,500-year-old knife once owned by a Norwegian reindeer hunter, and a 12,500-year-old sphinx in Pakistan. KINDERGARTEN HAPPY HOUR: Kathleen laughs out loud when reading an article about a Michigan Kindergarten class who accidentally consumed tequila during snack time. One of the kids brought a bottle of ready-to-drink Jose Cuervo margaritas in her backpack, and several students drank it. One kindergartner "felt woozy" and a "little dizzy" after having four or five sips from a Dixie cup, which prompted the teachers to investigate.CNN PLUS FOLDS AFTER ONE MONTH: Kathleen can't believe it when she reads an announcement that CNN's news app CNN Plus is folding after only 1 month of activity. CNN+ was launched on 29 March in an attempt to bring in revenues from news streaming subscriptions, and even though the company spent as much as $300m on developing the service it got off to a slow start, attracting just 10,000 viewers a day, according to reports.Kathleen reads the list of contributors from news reporters to celebrity chefs, stating that the only “food” show that she watches religiously is Trisha Yearwood's “Trisha's Southern Kitchen.” NETFLIX STOCK PLUNGES AFTER SUBSCRIBER PURGE: Kathleen laughs when reading an article advising that Netflix stock has plunged 35% after announcing that password sharing on accounts was no longer going to be tolerated. She wonders aloud that “didn't they KNOW we were sharing accounts?” Netflix said it expected to lose two million global subscribers in the current quarter.ELON BUYS TWITTER AND PLANS TO COLONIZE MARS: Kathleen is fascinated by Elon Musk's business moves, and is thrilled to read that he has successfully become the majority shareholder of Twitter. With some of his remaining riches, he's planning to colonize Mars, warning that life on that planet will be dangerous, cramped, and difficult. MEET THE WORLD'S OLDEST DOG: Kathleen is amused to read that the world's oldest living dog is a chihuahua named Toby Keith. TIKTOK CHILDREN VS DOLLAR GENERAL: Kathleen applauds reading an article about a Dollar General manager named Mary who created a viral video detailing the difficulties involved in running one of their stores.WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK: Kathleen recommends watching “Basquait” on Amazon Prime.

Despite being surrounded by the music of countless great female country singers growing up – Lorrie Morgan, Reba McEntire, Patty Loveless, Dolly Parton and others – Jamie Lin Wilson did not see herself pursuing a career in music. As she noted to me on the latest episode of The Load Out Music Podcast, there were “so many great, strong female artists that I really latched onto.” Yet, the fame that often accompanies playing music in front of thousands was a deterrent. “I would love to be a singer but don't want to be famous,” Wilson said. “I'm good at math so I'll become an engineer.” That was the thinking and thus the path she found herself on – working towards an engineering degree at Texas A&M. Then came that one week when she was 19. Wilson went to see The Dixie Chicks (now The Chicks) and lead singer Natalie Maines took time to play a solo acoustic version of “Cold Day In July.” Wilson thought to herself, “Hey, I could probably do that.” Later in the week, she went to the Cow Hop bar where she caught Susan Gibson, who ironically wrote “Wide Open Spaces” – a huge hit for the Chicks. Wilson was hooked. The math-nerd engineer was now going to be a singer-songwriter. But her long and winding music industry journey has since been anything but conventional. The Sealy, Texas-native cut her teeth playing open mic nights in College Station, then joining the local band the Sidehill Gougers. She eventually left the Gougers and was put together with an all-female group that became The Trishas. They built a unique chemistry, transforming from a collection of singers and players into an actual band. They ultimately found themselves opening up for the likes of Todd Snider and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band as well as touring the country with infant babies in tow. Despite their success, however, The Trishas collectively made choice to disband. They had their own priorities, and in Wilson's case, it revolved around life raising a family with husband Roy while playing music on her own terms. Yes, she wanted to tour and make records. But needed to do things like coach her daughter's softball team and “stay married.” In addition to the numerous three-named Texas singers, these are among the many topics we dive into on the latest episode of season three of The Load Out Music Podcast. At the end of our conversation, it was clear that what's most important to Wilson is being present for her family despite making a living as a touring musician, while remaining true to herself, her values and her rural roots. “I am on my own timeline,” she told me. “I'm a small town. I'm sitting in a ‘60s trailer next to a dog pen next to my husband's shop. I tell stories of people who are rural.”

Everyone has a story to tell, but sometimes, that story evolves in ways unimaginable. For Upstate New York dreamer turned Nashville recording artist Cassidy Lynn, that path would evolve through the art of the ultimate form of storytelling, songwriting. This force to be reckoned with arrived in Music City with the spirit of Patsy Cline and the fierceness of Natalie Maines, hell bent on blazing her own path.   Support the show (http://www.patreon.com/skiphappens)

A great old song which I play mostly in a two-finger picking style. The vocal harmonies are inspired by the fairly recent recording of this song by Robert Earl Keen and Natalie Maines of The (Dixie) Chicks.

Sophie Santos, author of The One You Want to Marry, joins the guys to talk about life as a teenage lesbian pageant queen in Montgomery, Alabama (and beyond). Then, the guys look at the stars of new trashy reality show Tampa Baes to ask: are lesbians making it worse, too, and HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? And in learning that Brent occasionally wears jeans to the gym, H. Alan and Eliot evaluate whether this is totally normal, kinda weird, or "gay illegal."

Welcome back and thank you for tuning into Divulgence with host Jordan Vezeau. For this true crime gem of an episode, I welcome back author, filmmaker, and investigator William Ramsey to help me set straight some of the key facts, as well as the reality of guilt and responsibility, in the famous case of the West Memphis Three! We also breakdown the main issues and causes of the misperceptions of those who were convicted for the crime that has taken a great number of the general public, including a long list of celebrities from Johnny Depp, Eddie Vedder and Perter Jackson, to Margaret Cho, Winona Rider, and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks. William is an expert on this topic by far and it is a pleasure to finally sit down and speak with him on the subject. His book, ABOMINATION: DEVIL WORSHIP AND DECEPTION IN THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE MURDERS is a great resource on the topic and allows a proper look at what is truly critical in the case and crime. We cut through the bull that is the misinformation of Hollywood and various authors and artists, and provide some recommendations for solid resources to learn more on the case! Bill also shares his difficulties he experienced after writing this particular book and shares with us a fun memory involving John Grisham! As with every topic I present to you, I urge you to look for yourself, but more importantly, share the information; Divulgence of the truth! Also a shout out to Thunder Bay's (my hometown) Kevin Durand who stars in the movie ‘The Devil's Knot,' which we discuss. *Being a brand new podcast, all support is appreciated, any shape or form.

PART ONE:Paul and Scott geek out about the Bee Gees documentary, and the nature of being the kind of songwriter who MUST do it, no matter what.PART TWO:Dan Wilson chats about how Liam Gallagher of Oasis inspired the first new Semisonic music in years; why his relationship with songs has always been very practical; how his first massive hit was born from a need to mix up the set list; the theory he once had about lyrics that he doesn't have any more; the lesson he learned from writing with Carole King that he's carried through his entire career; why it was a good thing that Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks rejected his song idea; how Rick Rubin informed his approach to music; the gritty details on the two-day process of writing "Someone Like You" with Adele; why Nashville's songwriting ethic impacted his process; the time a song was finalized over pizza with John Legend and Chrissy Tiegen; and how fellow songwriter Teddy Geiger indirectly inspired a most unusual format for Dan's collection of wisdom for writers and musicians. ABOUT  DAN WILSON:Songwriter, singer, musician, producer and acclaimed visual artist Dan Wilson is a Minnesota native and Harvard graduate who launched his music career with the band Trip Shakespeare, which was signed to A&M Records. He went on to co-found the rock band Semisonic, whose platinum-selling Feeling Strangely Fine album yielded the singles “Secret Smile,” “Singing in My Sleep,” and “Closing Time,” a chart-topping hit that earned Dan a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song. He went on to reinvent himself as a behind-the-scenes hitmaker, earning a Song of the Year Grammy for co-writing “Not Ready to Make Nice” with the group then known as The Dixie Chicks, and writing three songs on Adele’s multiplatinum 21 album: “Don’t You Remember,” “One and Only,” and “Someone Like You,” which became an international hit and earned Dan an Album of the Year Grammy for his production work. Wilson has also found success in Nashville, co-writing Dierks Bentley’s number one hit “Home” and earning yet another Album of the Year Grammy nomination for Taylor Swift’s Red LP, for which he co-wrote and produced the song “Treacherous.” Dan’s long list of collaborators includes Carole King, Rachel Yamagata, Jason Mraz, Gabe Dixon, Weezer, Keith Urban, Josh Groban, James Morrison, P!nk, Leann Rimes, John Legend, Chris Stapleton, Panic! At the Disco, Cold War Kids, Noah Cyrus, Leon Bridges, Celine Dion, and many others.In addition to his acclaimed Words and Music by Dan Wilson solo concerts, he launched a social media series called Words & Music in Six Seconds. The series, which focuses on “forging collaborative relationships, seeking a community, testing out ideas in front of an audience, and writing better songs,” has recently been turned into a deck of 75 cards, designed by Dan, that distill his insights from nearly three decades of writing, performing, and collaborating with the world’s greatest musical artists.

Pippa and Karina follow this surface-level word straight into one of the darkest corners of the internet: the manosphere, complete with Nice Guys, good boys, incels, and MRAs. How did one boring, overused adjective become the ultimate red flag? "Nice" is so much more than the sum of its parts.

The Chicks, formerly known as the Dixie Chicks, are the best-selling female band of all time in the U.S. But they may be known just as much for a comment lead singer Natalie Maines made during the lead-up to the Iraq War -- and the outcry that followed, in which the group was virtually banned from country radio. Fourteen years after their last album, the Chicks are back. Jeffrey Brown reports. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

In Episode 72 of Idea Diary - Today, I talk a ridiculous amount of time about a review someone did on the new album “Gaslighter” by The Chicks. Hey, I respect his opinion, and I'm not here to argue, just giving my opinion on his opinion to have a fun discussion by myself. No shade is meant. I love this album, it's a divorce concept record that has never been done before, as far as I know… it's so creative, and fills my imagination while i listen to the songs in my car. This album's poetry really tells a story, and is like a movie in my mind. I just love it! Favorite Chicks album of mine to date!

Jasmine Rae caps off her release week by joining me to discuss Taking the Long Way, the 2006 album that saw The Chicks rising from the ashes of controversy and persecution to create one of their best records. We dig into the album’s backstory, frontwoman Natalie Maines taking a leading role in the band’s songwriting for the first time, parallels to their new album ‘Gaslighter’, the rock’n’roll collaborators who joined the band on this album, their decision to make the lyrics explicitly personal and specific in a way they never had on previous records and more. Plus, we discuss what it’s like to launch a new record (and play shows) in the midst of the pandemic in Australia, and the precarious nature of planning anything.

In this one, we talk all about the Emmy nominations from Leslie Jones and Laverne Cox’s awkward moment to Baby Yoda getting snubbed to Reese Witherspoon getting locked out of an acting nomination to Allison praising the face-acting skills of Tobias Menzies. We then get into Natalie Maines calling out her ex on Gaslighter and […]

On the latest episode of People Have The Power, the Grammy-winning Chicks take host Steve Baltin on a journey through nine of their favorite protest songs of all time and how those artists have influenced the band. For instance in choosing Ocean Colour Scene's "Profit In Peace," Natalie Maines says, "Songs I was a huge fan of and was really drawn to, especially as a teenager and then beyond, were songs with a point of view and a lot of time some defiance. Or a lot of times just peace and love. I considered myself Lubbock's very own hippie (laughs). Definitely I think that's one way speaking out and having a point of view got in my core."And in picking U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday," Martie Maguire said, "I'm a big U2 fan, it's one of my first concerts, So "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is on my list about the troubles in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and we all have very close family who still live in Ireland." Speaking of the courage of M.I.A. in selecting her "Bad Girls," Emily Strayer says, "[She's a ] total badass chick fighting for female empowerment. And it's different when you're in the States and you're doing it than when you're driving around Saudi Arabia when you're not allowed to drive in the desert. She recorded that in 2012 and women couldn't drive until 2018, so it was a huge statement." American Songwriter Podcast Network

In Episode 23 of Country Not Country, Erin & Nick talk about Morgan Wallen becoming a dad and give a little insight into the mother of Indigo Wilder, they discuss the Jada Pinkett & Will Smith conversation about a bad marriage being better than a divorce and we take a listen to some of the new music from The Chicks formerly known as The Dixie Chicks and we talk about how lead singer Natalie Maines spilled ALL the beans about her recent divorce in the new music.  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Pop Culture Show. Someone asked me this week, guys, he said, "What is ... I don't do the podcast thing." And I'm like, "You know what? It's okay if you've never listened to a podcast. Maybe you don't know what it's about. It's easy." They hear the word download and they think they have to do something. You don't really have to do anything. You can listen to it anywhere. iHeartRadio app, Apple, whatever, you just hit play. And someone over said, "Well, what is your show," and I had to think about it. What's our elevator pitch?Cubby (00:32):Yeah, we're like the one-stop shop, I think.Barnes (00:33):Completely.Cubby (00:33):We are the 7-Eleven. Yeah.Leslie (00:36):The good thing about podcasts though, is that because all three of us have done radio, Cubby's still on a very successful morning show in New York, is that you really don't have to edit yourself. It's not like you have to sit there and look at a watch. You just-Cubby (00:47):Go.Leslie (00:47):No editing.Cubby (00:48):Yeah, I love it. You just go.Barnes (00:51):This is someone who is a very successful designer, one of Heather's friends that was over for dinner, she's like, "Well, what did y'all talk about?" It's like, well, Kanye for president. That was so last week, and all these things. I said, "If you listen to our show, just under an hour, you'll be able to entertain any gathering and be able to be like you're right in it."Cubby (01:09):Can I just say, though, for the record, we do record the show at 11:00 AM on Sunday mornings, so last week, a lot happened after we recorded it.Barnes (01:17):Yes.Cubby (01:18):We thought about jumping back on, but we couldn't get connected. But just to let people know, we know when things break, even on a Monday, because sometimes things break and we just, we can't get on and talk about it.Barnes (01:28):Yeah, unfortunately we're just one show a week for now, but hopefully that'll change at some point.Leslie (01:33):Maybe we'll be live every day one day.Barnes (01:34):Yeah, when I can get you two to quit your real jobs and we'll start doing it.Leslie (01:37):Cubby's like, don't give me another gig.Cubby (01:40):No, I'd be into it. I'm actually really enjoying this. I do have one thing, though, that I want to get off my chest that happened to me this past week, and I want to dive right into it because I think it could get you guys talking. It's been bugging me and bugging me. So I'm driving around a lot more, and people are wearing their masks, which I love. Wear your mask, okay? That's going to help. But do you guys see people driving alone in a car-Barnes (02:01):Yes.Cubby (02:01):Wearing a mask?Barnes (02:03):And I wonder what the hell they're thinking.Cubby (02:04):Please tell me why. I need to get this off my chest.Barnes (02:07):You're protecting yourself from yourself.Cubby (02:10):I just don't get it.Barnes (02:11):But some people though, Cubby, you know what, still don't understand why they're wearing a mask in the first place.Cubby (02:15):True.Barnes (02:15):Some people truly believe that it is to take the inhale and filter out the corona. It's the opposite. You're protecting projecting.Cubby (02:27):And I get some people are very busy and maybe they're going store to store and they just keep it on, but it just, it makes me laugh every time I see somebody just wearing a mask in the car by themselves.Barnes (02:34):Yeah.Leslie (02:34):Have you seen the thing on Amazon you can buy, the air filter, like if you're going on a flight? And a friend of mine bought one because she's flying back from Portland this week, and she's got the air filter mask that's hooked up to her arm. And I'm like-Barnes (02:47):Well, she needs a bulletproof vest more than that, because Portland's out of control right now.Cubby (02:51):Right.Barnes (02:51):I mean, it's completely ... Hey, please rate, review, and subscribe. That's how we keep this thing going. Of course, now you can get us on the iHeartRadio app, which is fairly new in the last month, now in Teslas everywhere, just search The Pop Culture Show, and also on-Cubby (03:05):Why are you laughing, Leslie?Leslie (03:05):He's such a Tesla dude.Barnes (03:05):What? These are outlets.Leslie (03:06):He's such a Tesla dude.Barnes (03:09):I'm doing a service for Tesla people who might want to listen in the car. You can search it. It's right there. Amazon Alexa, the Google Hub, whatever.Cubby (03:20):MySpace, we're everywhere.Barnes (03:22):Yeah, we're on MySpace. We're on a delay-Cubby (03:23):Cassettes.Barnes (03:24):We're on a 10 year delay on MySpace, but we're there. And also, coming up today, Joe Gatto, good friend of Cubby's. This guy is hysterical, from Impractical Jokers. He's coming up. Last plug, we have someone very big next week, and when I say big, I don't just mean in stature, I don't just mean in popularity.Leslie (03:43):You mean big.Barnes (03:44):I mean, big in every way. Goldberg, WWE powerhouse.Cubby (03:56):Amazing.Barnes (03:57):Goldberg.Cubby (03:58):We're getting some good guests, man, for a show that's just getting legs here.Barnes (04:01):He's such a great guy. He will be on with us next week. Bill Goldberg. You know he's on The Goldbergs? Which is so funny. He's a recurring character.Leslie (04:10):Which is hysterical.Barnes (04:11):He plays the gym coach.Cubby (04:12):I should try to get Whoopi on the show, Whoopi Goldberg.Barnes (04:15):Totally. We need an Oscar winner. We haven't had one yet.Cubby (04:17):Yeah, let me work on that.Leslie (04:17):Let's get all the bergs on the show.Cubby (04:18):Right.Barnes (04:20):We need to have a winner of each award at some point. Have we had a Grammy winner yet?Cubby (04:25):Well, we might. We might.Leslie (04:26):We might, yeah.Barnes (04:27):We haven't yet, right?Cubby (04:28):I think we have some Grammy nominees.Barnes (04:29):Let's work on that.Cubby (04:30):We'll work on it.Barnes (04:30):Yeah, let's work on it. Anyway, so Bill Goldberg will be on next week, and if you have a question you want to leave for him, Fram, give them the number.Leslie (04:43):Is that the sound of crickets?Barnes (04:45):I tested you, and I thought you wrote it down one time. 404-939-3733. You can leave a message, a question for Goldberg, and be sure and tell us where you're calling from and all that good stuff, and your name. So Cubby, your question was what?Cubby (05:02):Well, no, I got the mask thing off my chest, and I'm sorry-Barnes (05:05):Good. You feel better?Cubby (05:05):I just had to get into it. Well, I do feel better, but I want to make sure that I know that ... I want to make sure you guys know I love you and I want to know what happened throughout your week, and I want to know a headline maybe, like a highlight of the Barnes week, and then we'll get to Leslie after that.Barnes (05:16):I'm going on a plane for the first time after we are done with this show since February, which is rare. Going to Houston for a shoot, literally two hours.Cubby (05:26):Is the plane packed?Barnes (05:29):There's no one next to me, and the whole middle seats, I can tell they're blocked out.Cubby (05:34):Right.Leslie (05:34):What are you going to pack?Barnes (05:35):I'm just bringing gear.Leslie (05:36):I mean, hand sanitizer, obviously your mask. What else?Barnes (05:39):Well, they have that at the airport.Cubby (05:40):And that flight is, what, hour?Barnes (05:42):Hour and a half.Cubby (05:42):Hour and a half?Barnes (05:43):Yeah.Cubby (05:43):Yeah.Barnes (05:43):Like 1 37.Cubby (05:44):Right.Barnes (05:45):I had an avail check this week for a show, so Hollywood's getting back to work.Leslie (05:49):What's an avail check?Cubby (05:50):What's an avail check, yeah?Barnes (05:51):That's when your agent calls you and the show calls them, and I auditioned for the show back in February and they called to say, "Is he available?" They'll do that so they don't say, "We want to book him," and then you say no because you're doing something else.Cubby (06:02):What's the show?Barnes (06:03):I can't say.Cubby (06:05):Come on, man.Leslie (06:06):I'm just impressed that Barnes has an agent.Barnes (06:08):I've had the same agent for 20 years, Fram.Leslie (06:10):I know, I know-Barnes (06:11):Well, People Store.Leslie (06:11):It's just impressive.Cubby (06:12):Can you give a hint? Is this show on network TV? Is it a streaming?Barnes (06:14):It's on cable.Cubby (06:14):It's on cable.Leslie (06:15):It's on cable.Barnes (06:16):It's cable. I can't tell you, because legally, I can't talk about it until it happens.Leslie (06:22):You've played a lot of bad guys. Would you be auditioning to play a bad guy?Barnes (06:26):I will tell you, it is.Leslie (06:28):See? You're typecast.Barnes (06:29):Don't do that. Well, in a sense of, it's a CEO of a company who's a dick doing some bad things. That's all, yeah. How about you, Fram? What's going on in your world?Leslie (06:39):I had a really interesting week. I'm part of this new group called the Nashville Music Equality, and I hosted this big webinar. We talked to African American country music fans, and it was really eye-opening. This one girl whose Instagram post went viral, Rachel Berry, she talked about she's a country music fan, she loves Little Big Town, she goes to a ton of shows, but she did talk about how uncomfortable it is at some shows where people yell out racial slurs or look at her like, why are you here? And-Barnes (07:09):I saw you post that. I didn't realize what it was.Leslie (07:11):Yeah. She made this one comment that just, it was really hard for me to even say out loud, but she talked about kind of walking through a tailgating scenario where there were Confederate flags and she wished that she was invisible. And I was like-Barnes (07:24):Wow.Leslie (07:24):Wow. So-Barnes (07:25):Yeah.Leslie (07:26):It was really powerful, and I'm excited about being part of this group.Cubby (07:30):Well, we all had very action-packed weeks.Barnes (07:32):And Cubby, your whole thing was you're just pissed off about people wearing masks in cars? That's it?Cubby (07:36):I just wanted to talk to somebody about it?Barnes (07:38):That's all you did?Cubby (07:38):Yeah, well, wait-Barnes (07:38):How's the baby?Cubby (07:39):Well, the baby's great. We have a five and a half month old. We've had a couple of blowouts this week. You guys remember blowouts. I'm sure you know blowouts.Leslie (07:45):Yeah.Barnes (07:46):Blowouts as in the pants, or blowouts as in situation?Cubby (07:49):Blowouts as in a situation with the pants, yeah, so-Barnes (07:52):Yeah, I'm being serious. You had a blowout like a blowout.Leslie (07:55):I'm like, a blowout.Cubby (07:56):Not like a blowout fight, but a couple of times where a little bit too much of number two, so-Barnes (08:02):That's what I'm saying.Cubby (08:02):Yeah, it's kept me busy, and-Barnes (08:05):Well, I didn't figure with your hairstyle that you went and got a blowout. I figured it was a blowout.Cubby (08:10):My wife actually went to the hair salon for the first time in months yesterday, and they don't do blowouts any more.Leslie (08:15):No, they can't.Cubby (08:16):Right. Makes sense.Leslie (08:17):Yeah, I used to get blowouts every week.Barnes (08:18):A world-Leslie (08:18):It's tough. Tough.Barnes (08:19):With no blowout?Cubby (08:21):Because yeah, it blows it around I guess, right? I guess that's the reason. I don't know. But you know what?Barnes (08:26):Shift the corona everywhere?Cubby (08:27):That's what they say, yeah. But I don't know. Do you go to a barber, or where do you get your hair done, Barnes? Because I go to a local guy-Barnes (08:34):I don't get my hair done. I just get it cut.Cubby (08:37):Do you support local business?Barnes (08:39):Yeah.Cubby (08:39):I go to a guy down the street that has the barber shop thing, the sign-Barnes (08:43):Of course you do.Cubby (08:44):Going around. Support your local businesses if you can.Leslie (08:46):I totally agree.Barnes (08:48):Yeah.Cubby (08:48):Yeah.Barnes (08:48):I go to an individual person who had branched off from a place ages ago and has her own little hut.Cubby (08:55):Right.Barnes (08:55):Yeah, so it's a one person hut. It's a business hut.Cubby (08:59):You go to a hut to get your hair done.Barnes (09:00):So I support the hut. It's funny.Leslie (09:01):It's kind of a real treat now to get your hair cut. I haven't had mine cut since February. I'm looking forward to going soon.Cubby (09:07):Yeah.Barnes (09:07):Cubby, which hair do you cut exactly?Cubby (09:10):See, that's what I was waiting for.Barnes (09:11):I just wanted to know, what hair do you cut?Cubby (09:15):It's fairly easy. I just do the old-Barnes (09:17):On the left or the right?Cubby (09:18):Yeah, I have two or three on the right. No, I get the old buzzer and I do a number one-Barnes (09:21):You get a shave.Cubby (09:22):And I just buzz it, and then we're good to go.Leslie (09:23):So it's easy.Barnes (09:24):So it's a clean up.Cubby (09:25):It's a clean up pretty much, yeah. Yeah.Barnes (09:27):That wasn't a diss. I was just curious when you say you go get-Cubby (09:29):Well-Barnes (09:29):A hair cut, you could go three years and someone wouldn't say, "Dude, you need a haircut."Cubby (09:33):Barnes, I am jealous. You've aged well, I'll tell you that.Barnes (09:35):Oh.Cubby (09:35):You've aged very well.Barnes (09:36):Thank you.Cubby (09:36):Yep.Barnes (09:37):So have you, though. You-Cubby (09:38):You have a lot of hair, you look good. You look young.Leslie (09:39):This is a great bromance situation here.Cubby (09:41):It really is. It really is.Barnes (09:42):I'm feeling warm inside, Cubby.Cubby (09:44):It just doesn't mean you don't look great, Leslie. This is just a guy thing right now.Leslie (09:46):I love it.Cubby (09:46):Okay.Leslie (09:46):I know. I'm going to sit back and enjoy.Cubby (09:48):Okay.Barnes (09:49):Cubby, I was concerned about you, you drinking a mimosa. I love that.Cubby (09:53):Yeah.Barnes (09:53):I was concerned. So this is on the same topic, this may be a problem. Earlier in the week, you texted me, and you were blowing me up with some weird drunk texting. And I thought, man, this guy is, at 11:00 AM, he's drunk texting me and he's being funny. You're going to feel the pain at 5:00 AM when that baby's awake.Cubby (10:10):Well, it was 11:00 PM. You said 11:00 AM.Barnes (10:12):Oh, 11:00 ... Oh yeah, right. Right now it's that time. No, but you were a little sauced, and I thought, man, this guy's going to feel the pain tomorrow.Cubby (10:21):Yeah, well-Barnes (10:21):You can still party like that with a five month old?Cubby (10:24):I've learned to kind of dial it back in the last week or two, actually, because I've been waking up-Barnes (10:28):The last week?Cubby (10:28):I've been waking up pretty banged up.Leslie (10:29):Well, you have the week off-Cubby (10:29):Yeah.Leslie (10:30):So you could afford a few cocktails.Cubby (10:31):Correct. I had the week off, and did I tell you my tradition? We have a Jagermeister shot machine in the kitchen?Leslie (10:37):You do not.Barnes (10:37):No.Leslie (10:37):Who has a Jagermeister shot machine in their kitchen?Cubby (10:40):And Jager-Barnes (10:41):What?Cubby (10:41):I didn't touch for years. I got really, really banged up on it like in the mid-90s. I didn't touch it for years. My wife lived in Germany, brought some Jager back, and I said, "I haven't had this in a while." It was, like, four years ago, and I kind of got back into it. So I bought a Jager shot machine. It gets down to minus 10 degrees, and every day at 5:00, we kick off happy hour with a shot.Barnes (11:02):Really?Cubby (11:02):Me and my wife. Yep, yep. And it's really good.Leslie (11:05):That is a crazy tradition. Now, I've heard of the margarita machines, but never the Jagermeister machines.Cubby (11:09):Jagermeister shot machine.Barnes (11:11):Cubby's house is ripe for a reality show. There are 34 cats, a Jager machine-Leslie (11:15):Let's shoot it.Barnes (11:16):Chickens in the back yard, they have-Cubby (11:18):Asian wife.Barnes (11:19):75 UPS packages at the front door every day.Cubby (11:21):Yep, yep.Barnes (11:21):I mean, seriously. There is some stuff going on. We need to dive into that more. How's that celebrity sleaze, Fram? You've got an entire week's worth to catch us up on.Leslie (11:32):This is insanity. First of all, it's the he said/she said trial of the century, that's the Johnny Depp libel suit, which is into its second week. If you ever want to read something funny, read the British tabloid headlines. They're better than The New York Post. They're incredible. But-Cubby (11:47):They are.Leslie (11:47):A lot happened this week. First of all, tell me how this happens, guys. Johnny Depp told the court he lost $650 million, his fortune mainly from Pirates of the Caribbean, $100 million in taxes that he owed. I mean, is that just a bad business person or what? How do you lose that much money?Cubby (12:06):It could be the people around him that just aren't managing his money properly either.Leslie (12:09):Yeah, and a couple other things came out in court. Apparently they showed a photo of him passed out covered in ice cream. His business manager does not like Amber Heard, called her a Machiavellian overlord, meaning she's a cunning person. But here's the part of the week that was truly fascinating. All of Johnny's exes came out in support, including Winona Ryder, calling him a good person. And then Vanessa Paradis, who he was with for 14 years and they have two kids together, she said, "Through all these years I've known Johnny to be a kind, attentive, generous, and non-violent person." So that's what happened this past week in the Johnny Depp trial. We'll see what happens next week.Cubby (12:51):I still can't get that audio out of my head you played last week.Barnes (12:54):That trial?Cubby (12:55):Yeah, yeah. That was crazy, man.Leslie (12:58):Of them trying to cut each other-Cubby (12:59):Yes.Leslie (12:59):Or of him asking Amber Heard to cut him?Barnes (13:00):So weird.Leslie (13:01):It's unbelievable. So 30 Rock had a reunion. A lot of people thought it was just a big commercial for NBC's new streaming service called Peacock, and a lot of people were really disappointed in it. Although it was a little timely. Tina Fey's character Liz Melon did yell at a man for not wearing a mask.Speaker 5 (13:19):No mask, hot shot?Speaker 6 (13:21):We're in an open air system.Speaker 5 (13:22):You scared of the virus now?Speaker 6 (13:23):I already had corona. I was on my way to donate plasma.Speaker 5 (13:26):Boom, another successful interaction with a man.Speaker 7 (13:29):30 Rock returns-Speaker 8 (13:30):Shut up.Speaker 7 (13:31):With an all new reunion special.Speaker 9 (13:33):Dreams really do come true.Speaker 5 (13:35):How did you slap me?Speaker 8 (13:37):I have the iPhone 40.Speaker 7 (13:38):30 Rock: A One-Time Special. Thursday on NBC, streaming the next day on Peacock. And every 30 Rock episode available July 15th on Peacock.Barnes (13:47):What makes you think that wasn't a commercial?Leslie (13:49):For Peacock. I wonder how much they got paid for that reunion show.Barnes (13:52):A lot.Leslie (13:53):A lot. Now every female I know, I know Barnes, I'm not sure if-Barnes (13:57):I'm not a female.Leslie (13:58):If your wife or Cubby, if your wife are into these two guys. I know that I am, but together, Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling, teaming up for a Netflix move called The Gray Man. Man, that budget's over $200 million so far. It's a spy thriller. I'm talking to the wrong audience here-Barnes (14:16):Yeah.Leslie (14:16):But I'm telling you, it's going to be huge.Barnes (14:18):Cubby? Cubby's shaking his head.Cubby (14:20):I'm lukewarm on it.Leslie (14:20):Ah, come on.Cubby (14:21):Keep going.Leslie (14:22):Speaking of huge, here's a movie to watch I watched over the weekend, [Lenny 00:14:25] and I loved, although I do love Charlize Theron, but have you seen The Old Guard on Netflix?Cubby (14:31):No.Barnes (14:31):No.Leslie (14:31):She kicks butt. Well, it's a new ... She's immortal. And by the way, the way it ended, I was like, okay, well, they're going to have a sequel. And then the next day, I read there's a sequel in the works, so don't feel bad for actors. They're making a ton of money on Netflix. Speaking of sequels, again, Sandra Bullock, Bird Box.Barnes (14:52):Again?Leslie (14:52):Again, and I'm thinking this might be timely because remember, everybody was wearing masks at the time, right?Cubby (14:58):Right.Barnes (14:59):That was a weird one. Completely.Leslie (15:00):It was weird post-apocalyptic world. AppleTV had a big hit over the weekend, Tom Hanks torpedoing everyone in Greyhound. I haven't watched it yet, but-Barnes (15:10):What's that about?Leslie (15:11):It's a World War Ii drama loosely based on a true story.Cubby (15:15):And actually, I have Tom Hanks coming up in a 1995 reminiscing pop culture segment here, which is a little tease of what's to come.Leslie (15:23):Woo. Okay, this is so bizarre. Jessica Biel had a baby and no one knew about it. How did they keep that a secret?Barnes (15:31):You mean, she didn't know and all of a sudden it just arrived?Leslie (15:32):Yeah, that too.Cubby (15:33):Or they kept it a secret?Barnes (15:34):Well, what are you saying?Leslie (15:36):Well, I'm saying that the news is that she had a baby, but coincidentally, his movie Palmer, remember where he had the indiscretion and there was a photo of him with a lead actress holding hands under the table, that movie's coming to Netflix.Barnes (15:48):Oh, you talking about Timberlake?Leslie (15:50):Yeah, Justin Timberlake.Barnes (15:52):And so they had a baby, she stayed out of the public eye, and not one pap knew she was pregnant, that kind of surprise?Leslie (15:58):Yeah, and a lot of people-Barnes (15:59):How?Leslie (15:59):Are saying, "Wait a second. She must have been pregnant when he had his little mishap."Cubby (16:05):Oh right.Leslie (16:05):So-Barnes (16:06):But he never really ... Did he really say that he cheated? He was holding hands with a co-star, right?Leslie (16:11):He was holding hands. I think he had had too much to drink. He apologized. But apparently, Jessica Biel was pregnant at the time. But that movie, Palmer, is coming to AppleTV. Now, Hulu's got a huge hit. I haven't seen this yet. It's called Palm Springs, but I bet someone on this show knows about Palm Springs.Cubby (16:29):You saw it?Barnes (16:30):Saw it, and Hulu paid 17 and half million for that thing.Leslie (16:34):Wow.Barnes (16:35):It's basically a Groundhog Day. I thought it was weak. I wouldn't waste your hour and a half. It's like a-Leslie (16:40):Well, what's it about? It's like Groundhog Day?Barnes (16:42):Yeah, it's at best a 30 minute thing, at best.Cubby (16:46):How do you watch everything? There's so much to watch. I've said it before-Barnes (16:48):Well-Cubby (16:49):I'll say it again, just so much-Barnes (16:49):I bought into the hype, Cubby. Everyone was talking about how great Palm Springs was. It wasn't even filmed in Palm Springs. It was filmed in, like, Santa Clarita or something.Leslie (16:58):Well, that's weak.Barnes (16:58):Well, that's all the time, but I just was like, okay, well, I've never been to Palm Springs and I watched the trailer and I thought, well, maybe. Samberg, I don't mind him.Cubby (17:06):Right.Barnes (17:06):J.K. Simmons is in it, Cami Mendes from Riverdale. Is that what she's ... I think, Riverdale?Leslie (17:11):See, you've saved us on Palm Springs.Barnes (17:13):Well, what's interesting about it is, Cami Mendes and J.K. Simmons when they shot this movie, they were not available on the same days.Leslie (17:21):Wow.Barnes (17:21):Now you want to talk about ... And this was pre-coronavirus. Check this out. This is a clip from Kelly and Ryan, a very quick clip, talking about how they put this together and neither of them were there are the same time.Cami Mendes (17:32):The only unfortunate thing is, I actually didn't get to work with J.K. Simmons on a personal level because I had to go shoot a movie right after Palm Springs, so I ended up ... They used a body double for whenever we were in the same scene, and the same thing with me and him when I was gone, so-Kelly Ripa (17:50):Oh, you're [inaudible 00:17:51]. Wait, so you two did not work together.Cami Mendes (17:53):No, but-Kelly Ripa (17:53):That's a big bummer.Barnes (17:57):Hollywood is one big lie.Cubby (17:59):Yeah, it really is. Smoke and mirrors.Leslie (18:01):Wow.Barnes (18:03):They're not even in the same scenes.Cubby (18:05):Well, they do it with music all the time.Barnes (18:07):Yeah.Cubby (18:07):There's been-Barnes (18:07):Oh, totally.Cubby (18:08):A lot of hit songs, different studios, different parts of the world.Barnes (18:11):I give it a two out of five.Cubby (18:13):Okay.Barnes (18:13):Two lounge chairs.Leslie (18:14):There were a ton of fans very upset over the fact that Tom Bergeron and Eric Andrews were fired as host for Dancing with the Stars. Bergeron was on that show for 15 years.Cubby (18:27):Yeah, a long run.Barnes (18:28):The show decided, and Cubby, tell me what you think about this, the show is saying they wanted to go into a more creative and different direction. I'm sorry, but that show's been number one for 10 years. So what direction would that be-Cubby (18:40):Right.Barnes (18:40):Other than you're dominating the ratings.Cubby (18:44):Are they referring to a different direction meaning how they're going to have to retool everything because of the virus? I don't know.Leslie (18:49):They hired Tyra Banks, which is fine, but people love Tom Bergeron and they're very upset.Barnes (18:56):Yeah, you're messing with the perfect system where they've crushed it. And when I'm joking about going in a different direction, the only way to go is down.Cubby (19:04):Right.Barnes (19:04):And Tyra Banks came in, got executive producer also. So I don't know what-Leslie (19:08):Really, really, really interesting.Barnes (19:09):What's happening there.Leslie (19:10):A couple other stories. Hayden Panettiere is seeking a restraining order from her ex, Brian Hickerson. Check this out, he is charged with seven felonies and one misdemeanor, and she came out with a really telling thing on Instagram just saying basically after suffering for years as the victim of psychological, emotional, and severe physical abuse, she is now hoping this will help other people. I feel really sorry for her. I was around her a lot when we were filming the TV show Nashville. It was filmed here for a couple of years, and she really, really wasn't visible at the time. She stayed in her dressing room a lot and didn't interact with the rest of the cast, so I wonder if she was having a hard time back then. A Rod and JLo want to buy the Mets.Cubby (19:55):Yeah, that's been floating around here in New York. It goes away and it comes back, and right now it's on the front burner again.Barnes (20:01):Is that a good thing for New York?Cubby (20:04):Yeah, a lot of people don't like the current owners of the Mets, so I think there are some fans of the idea.Leslie (20:10):A bunch of other people have gotten together with them, and the bid's already out there for $1.7 billion, and they're saying that JLo and A Rod put up $300 million of their own money.Cubby (20:19):Right.Barnes (20:20):Does New York like JLo and A Rod?Cubby (20:23):They do, and I interviewed A Rod last year, and I didn't know what kind of guy he'd be. I thought he'd be a douchebag-Barnes (20:29):Really? He seems nice.Cubby (20:30):And he was the nicest guy in the entire world. I really do love A Rod and Jennifer and-Leslie (20:37):I love them together. I love them.Cubby (20:40):Jennifer's sister, Linda Lopez, is a good friend of mine, and she adopted a cat from us last year actually.Leslie (20:45):Oh, that's good.Cubby (20:46):So we'll have to get her on the show someday.Barnes (20:46):Well, we expect you to get JLo on, man. You can't drop that you're friends with JLo's sister and not show up with JLo.Cubby (20:51):I saw 20 minutes of JLo here at the Garden last year, and that's when the blackout happened.Barnes (20:55):Whoops.Leslie (20:56):Wow.Cubby (20:57):The whole garden went dark, and-Leslie (20:59):I remember that.Cubby (20:59):Yeah, that was last July.Barnes (21:00):Go back and find A Rod's show on CNBC. It was only about five episodes. I feel like it was a test run. It was fantastic. It's where he went back to past failed athletes, and he gave them a second change. He kind of Shark Tanked them on location-ish, like Evander Holyfield was one of them. And they go and show you Evander Holyfield living in a two bedroom apartment. I mean, the guy's gone through $400, $500 million, some insane amount of money, and they help him get back on his feet. It was a fantastic show, and it's on demand. I forgot the name of it. Second Chance or something like that.Cubby (21:33):Google, baby. Google.Leslie (21:34):I like them together.Cubby (21:35):Yeah.Leslie (21:36):Remember Benifer? Anyway, I digress. The record of the week is The Chicks, Gaslighter, formerly The Dixie Chicks. I think it'll be number one this week, but how about this, their first album in 14 years. A lot of it deals with Natalie Maines' divorce, but some great songs on the record. The Chicks.Barnes (21:55):It's one of my favorite terms. Do you know the definition of gaslighting?Leslie (21:58):Yes, (singing). No.Barnes (22:01):Fram, you're in class, Fram. Do not sing in class. Gaslighting is to manipulate someone by psychological means into questioning their own sanity.Cubby (22:10):Wow.Leslie (22:10):We're learning something this week on The Pop Culture Show.Barnes (22:13):Gaslighting's a great term. I'm surprised it took someone that long to get it on record.Cubby (22:19):And I have a question too. I'm sure the answer is yes, but did The Chicks ... I know no one buys albums much any more, but if you buy a CD, is the artwork already changed? I mean, because that name just changed, and I'm wondering, the new artwork. Is The Chicks everywhere? I mean, Dixie is gone, right?Leslie (22:34):Yeah, it's gone.Cubby (22:35):Completely gone, yes.Leslie (22:36):Yeah, this is definitely The Chicks.Cubby (22:36):Wow.Leslie (22:37):They've been wanting to do it for years.Barnes (22:38):Here's a clip of it.The Chicks (22:50):(singing)Barnes (22:55):And they did a video on 4:3, which means square.Leslie (22:58):Yeah.Barnes (22:58):Remember how the TV used to be 10 years ago when it was square and not a rectangle? Which I don't get the association in the old-school retro feel to Gaslighter. Am I missing something?Leslie (23:09):No, but I think if you listen to the whole record, they have a new video and song called March March, which is about everything that's happening today. So the record is a mixture of pain and loss from Natalie, but also of things that are happening today. Because as you know, they continue to fight all sorts of injustices.Barnes (23:26):Refresh my memory. What were they getting blown up for years ago?Leslie (23:30):Years ago, they made comments about the president-Barnes (23:32):But which?Leslie (23:33):George Bush, if you remember.Barnes (23:34):Okay, Bush.Leslie (23:35):Yeah.Barnes (23:35):I couldn't remember. I knew they took a beating from-Leslie (23:37):About the Iraq War and-Barnes (23:38):Some groups. Okay.Leslie (23:39):And everybody's saying they were right at the time.Cubby (23:41):What was the Earl song? I actually liked that one when it came out.Leslie (23:44):Oh, that song was fantastic. Look at the video too.Cubby (23:46):Was it called My Name is Earl?Leslie (23:48):Yes.Cubby (23:48):Or just Earl? I forgot.Leslie (23:49):My Name is Earl.Cubby (23:49):Yeah, it's a good song.Leslie (23:50):I love that, Cubby. I love that recollection.Barnes (23:51):Like from a show?Cubby (23:53):It was a song they had. I remember it was the first time I ever heard of The Dixie Chicks, then at the time Dixie Chicks, and I was like, this is a pretty good song. I like it.Leslie (24:00):Last week we did ... Cubby, you were talking about some stories that came out after our last podcast, but sadly, Naya Rivera died of a drowning. And it's sad because they think that she was actually trying to save her son, that maybe the winds and the current were so heavy that she got him back on the boat, but then she drifted away which is tragic.Cubby (24:21):So sad.Barnes (24:21):I pictured she might have gotten hit in the head by the boat because of the bobbing of the boat. They said that the-Leslie (24:28):Could've been.Barnes (24:29):Water was moving very drastically, and I thought maybe when she was helping the young child up that maybe that front of that pontoon boat hit her in the head. Who knows what happened.Cubby (24:37):Right, and then we talked about the shallow water too, that last week we talked about how shallow the water is. Maybe she dove into a rock. I mean, we don't know, but it's just such a tragic thing.Barnes (24:45):Yeah.Cubby (24:45):And the kid being there, I mean, oh-Barnes (24:46):So sad. And they had, like, I want to say 15 to 25 feet trees in the water underwater in that whole area.Cubby (24:55):Right.Leslie (24:56):She could've hit her head. Who knows what happened, but it looks like she saved her son. Sadly, Lisa Marie Presley's 27 year-old son Benjamin Keough died by suicide, and-Barnes (25:05):Dude.Leslie (25:06):She is just devastated of course. And his sister, Riley, posted really sad commentary on Instagram over the last few days.Barnes (25:13):And another 27 clubber-Leslie (25:16):I know.Barnes (25:16):And another one via shotgun to the mouth. Why?Leslie (25:19):There are so many people that I don't know if he had some sort of addiction, but this pandemic is really taking it's toll on a lot of people with mental health. It's really sad.Barnes (25:31):He had a $5 million record deal, which I was surprised to hear. I didn't know that.Leslie (25:35):I didn't know that either until I saw the story. And also, actress Kelly Preston, John Travolta's wife, lost her two year battle with breast cancer.Barnes (25:45):How'd they keep that under wraps? I was so surprised. I was shocked to hear that.Leslie (25:49):Loved her. Loved, loved, loved her.Cubby (25:50):I can't get over the bad news that she shares. Is it crazy or what?Barnes (25:53):This week.Cubby (25:53):It's like, every-Barnes (25:53):I know.Cubby (25:55):I mean, this week alone, right. But 2020, please end.Barnes (25:58):Yes, very, very bad.Leslie (26:00):Well, speaking of bad, the world lost an icon over the weekend, civil rights activist and congressman John Lewis. He was 80, died of pancreatic cancer. I'll tell you, there's a great documentary on Netflix right now called Good Trouble about his 60 plus years of activism.Barnes (26:17):Sad news.Leslie (26:18):That's kind of a wrap up for the week for celebrity sleaze. When was the last time you guys took Lyft or Uber, because-Barnes (26:24):Oh, long.Leslie (26:24):I saw this story that Lyft ... I know, I haven't taken an ... I used to take Uber everywhere.Barnes (26:29):Yep.Leslie (26:29):I haven't taken anything since February, but Lyft announced it's going to provide these easy to install partitions for all of their drivers for safety reasons. I guess it was tested in Atlanta, and now it's in Baltimore, Denver, a lot of their other markets.Barnes (26:44):I heard that. It sounds like a good idea. They're making the drivers pay for it, but it's something inexpensive supposedly. It would make me choose, if I had to, Lyft over Uber.Cubby (26:55):Well, I chose Lyft over Uber, because I drove for Lyft for three months.Leslie (26:59):You did?Barnes (27:00):I drove for Uber.Cubby (27:01):Did you really?Barnes (27:02):I was trying to create a reality show around it, and I was researching and I did it for a couple of months.Leslie (27:08):Wait, and so Cubby, why were you driving for Lyft?Cubby (27:11):Because it was a combination of fun and heck, extra money can't hurt. And I do a morning show, and as you guys know from doing a morning show, you have afternoons free. And granted, a nap is key, but you have the afternoon free for the most part. And I said, "You know what, honey? I'm just going to turn on the old Lyft app and see who wants to be picked up."Barnes (27:28):It gets old real quick.Cubby (27:30):It gets old real quick. I don't know about Uber, but on Lyft, you don't know where they're going until you pick them up, which I didn't like.Barnes (27:36):Same with Uber.Cubby (27:37):Yeah, so the first couple of rides I did, it was people within 15 minutes of my house. I'm like, this is great. And then at 5:00 one day, I took this guy to Newark Airport, which is, like, a 45 minute ride. And I'm like, oh my God. So yeah, I only did, like, four or five rides.Barnes (27:50):Yeah, it gets old fast.Cubby (27:52):Really fast. But it is cool, when you get home and your app that you have will ping you and say, "George tipped $15." And you're like, yeah. I feel good.Leslie (28:05):It's crazy too, though. A lot of people were trying to make extra money as you said, but they were coming in from all these little towns outside of Nashville. And a lot of them didn't even know where they were going, and if they didn't have their GPS on, I sort of felt like I was telling people how to get to my destination. It got a little irritating.Cubby (28:19):Yeah, it is annoying.Barnes (28:20):I gave up on the reality show idea. But someone, our next guest, would probably have a field day with that, and if I had to sift through all their episodes, maybe I could find where they actually probably did do something with Uber or Lyft. But our next guest is funny as hell. I think this guy and his crew are great TV. One of Cubby's longtime friends, that's cool that you hooked him into this.Cubby (28:42):Yeah, I'm glad he-Barnes (28:43):Did you bribe him?Cubby (28:44):Said yes.Barnes (28:45):Yeah, let's bring him in. Please welcome Joe Gatto from Impractical Jokers. Hey Joe.Joe Gatto (28:50):Hey, thank you so much for having me, guys.Barnes (28:52):Really appreciate you coming on.Joe Gatto (28:54):Hey, you know what? When I get a text from Paul Cubby Bryant, and it says, "Hey, I need you," I don't-Barnes (29:01):You jump.Joe Gatto (29:01):Ask what. I just do what the man tells me. It's done my career well for-Cubby (29:06):That's the kind of guy Joe is. Joe is just a great guy, and I think I met you, Joe, during one of the many radio interviews we've done years ago. And then I learned that we lived in Lower Manhattan around the same time.Joe Gatto (29:18):Yep.Cubby (29:18):And I actually ran into Joe when I was getting a pedicure with my wife, and-Joe Gatto (29:22):Yes, I walked in with my fiancee at the time, and you were with your wife getting pedicures, and I had never gotten a pedicure. And I walk in and you're there, and I was like, oh, okay. I guess it's a thing to do.Barnes (29:33):It is a thing. I actually love it. I'll go, which Cubby, let's do it. Next time we're together, we're going to go side bar chairs, six feet apart.Leslie (29:39):Oh stop this, please.Cubby (29:42):The best part of a pedicure, I don't care how the nails look, I'm a guy, is that calf massage near the end.Joe Gatto (29:47):That's the best.Cubby (29:48):That's the best.Barnes (29:49):You know the key though? The key is, do they ask you do you want shine at the end? Say no shine. You've got to say no buff. No buff.Cubby (29:56):Because it's longer, right?Joe Gatto (29:57):You don't want to be walking around town with buff. I got you.Barnes (29:58):No, dude, if you do the buff, people are going to look at you side eyed. That's when you have shiny toes.Cubby (30:03):That's true.Barnes (30:04):If you forget, they will buff you, and you will be stuck with it for a week.Cubby (30:07):Now Leslie, being the only lady here, are you a pedicure fan, or-Leslie (30:11):No, this is the funny thing about-Cubby (30:12):What?Leslie (30:12):All of this. I don't do pedicures or manicures.Cubby (30:15):Come on.Leslie (30:15):I just do blowouts every week. Of course, not now that I'm in quarantine, but how embarrassing is that that I've got all these metrosexuals on the show and-Barnes (30:23):Hey, hey.Leslie (30:24):Which is fine.Barnes (30:24):Hey.Leslie (30:25):Hey.Cubby (30:26):One more thing I will say about Joe. Joe, you're also just a fan of radio, man. You know a lot of people in the business. You're the kind of guy that if you hear me on the air and I say something funny, which is rare, you'll text me. I mean, you're just a ... You have a lot of friends in the radio business.Joe Gatto (30:42):I do, yeah, yeah. I've always been a fan of radio back in the day from ... I just always loved the whole radio scene. I actually thought for a while that might be a way I would go, and then it just didn't happen for me.Barnes (30:56):Two of the things about you that stand out, and we're talking about him like he's dead. I feel like we're at his funeral. We're like, oh, so let's say more nice things about Joe. One, you are funny, and two, you are are positive. And sometimes those don't always go together.Joe Gatto (31:11):Yeah.Barnes (31:11):You get a lot of comedians who are really negative, and you're quite the opposite. I mean, you stand up for bullying and stuff like that, but you also are just a very upbeat, positive guy. And that's impressive. And I think part of some of the success from Impractical Jokers is that you can see that on the screen.Joe Gatto (31:28):Yeah, yeah. It's part of my personality for sure. I am-Barnes (31:31):Totally.Joe Gatto (31:31):Yeah, so I appreciate that. Thank you. I try. I've been through a lot of stuff too, so I didn't realize the position that this show would put us in. It really is like comic medicine for a lot of people, and we get story after story about things that we've gotten people through and things like that, and helping people with mental health issues and all that. So you really just listen, and you can't help but be affected by that part of the job. I think it's the same thing with radio too. I think a lot of normalcy comes from radio. I remember after, being from New York, after 9/11. I remember when the shows went back on, and it was like, okay. It was like a sense of comfort that you just can't get and you can't explain, from strangers, because I don't really know people personally. And you're just able to help them in a way, so you can't help but bear that responsibility and take it to heart.Leslie (32:21):I have to ask you, when the camera's not rolling, just in regular life, are you doing joke stuff and practical jokes on just friends and family-Joe Gatto (32:29):Yes.Leslie (32:29):I mean, you have to, right?Joe Gatto (32:31):I'm a maniac. I'm just a maniac, yeah.Leslie (32:31):It's always on, right?Joe Gatto (32:33):This is just, a lot of the show is actually just happened to be in my personality. I always said the reason why the show I think is successful because people relate to us being friends. It's more of a show about friendship, and this is just a way I've always made my friends laugh. For a long time, Sal would never take an elevator with me because he knew once those doors close, I'm doing something stupid, and he's trapped for X amount of floors with me, and the embarrassment of that. So we've always done ... It's just how I really genuinely like to make my friends laugh. I put myself out there. I don't necessarily care what people think. I'm not mean with my comedy. I always make myself the butt of the joke for the most part, so I think that was just the way I do it.Cubby (33:10):So the show began in 2011, right?Joe Gatto (33:11):Mm-hmm (affirmative).Cubby (33:12):I mean, did you ever think a show nine years ago would still be on the air now, would lead into a movie, which by the way, came out in the nick of time before the pandemic hit. It came out in February, Impractical Jokers, and you made a lot of money, by the way. I was checking the numbers. You did very well.Joe Gatto (33:26):We did all right. We did all right.Cubby (33:27):But can you believe you're still doing jokes and pranks on TV, on a TV show, and now nine years running. I mean, it's incredibleJoe Gatto (33:34):Yeah.Barnes (33:34):But Cubby, look back the first numbers were, like, in the millions, like 30 plus million people-Leslie (33:40):Right off the bat.Barnes (33:40):Watching that on truTV. I mean, that's not a diss to truTV. That's a credit to you.Joe Gatto (33:46):Yeah. Well, I mean, and credit to them, they actually, they switched the whole network. When we started, we were the outlier. We were literally between two tow truck shows-Barnes (33:54):Was it Court TV? Was it-Joe Gatto (33:58):Two of the three. It's part of Court TV, but it was two of their three. They had three tow trucks shows and us. So it was like, yeah, it was Lizard Lick Towing was the name of the show that we followed, and after that it was South Beach Tow. So it was like, people were like, what is going on with ... Who are these people? So we were really the outlier, and people just gravitated towards it. And to their credit, a couple years in, they were like, you know what? Let's try to build a comedy network. And now if you look at it, it's a big home for comedy. A lot of comedians go there with content, so ...Barnes (34:27):Were you surprised that it stuck and that it did so well?Joe Gatto (34:29):Oh my God, yeah. I was surprised to get episode two. Forget season nine.Barnes (34:33):Exactly.Joe Gatto (34:34):Yeah.Cubby (34:34):So how is the upcoming season going to be affected with what's going on? I mean, you're out and about, you're in grocery stores. You're out places. We're all still quarantined. How does that affect it?Joe Gatto (34:42):Yeah, we actually had to shut down production. Production started of season nine. We got a couple of things under our belt, and now with New York opening slowly, we're just going to have to produce a little bit differently. I don't think there will be much of us out and about in grocery stores or that kind of stuff any time soon, but a big portion of our show is either us just busting each other's chops privately, like times when they gift wrapped my house. For one punishment, I came home, and for my birthday they had gift wrapped my whole entire first floor of my home, including the plates and dishes in the cupboards. And then there's stuff that we do like that. And then also, we do a lot of focus group stuff or one-on-one stuff. So all that stuff could really genuinely live on. So there's a lot of content we could do. We just can't get ... We can't really approach people and get close in an on lockdown location.Barnes (35:31):No, people love that, Joe. They love the COVID jokes. They love the get in my space, yell at me for my mask jokes, yeah. It'd be a tough time. Everyone's so on edge that it would be-Joe Gatto (35:43):I think it'll definitely be a challenge, but I'm optimistic. I'm positive that we will figure something out.Leslie (35:50):What were you like in high school? Were you the guy that made your friends laugh? Were you that guy?Joe Gatto (35:55):Not until junior year. I was a really, really nerdy introvert for a long time, didn't have many friends. Here's a snapshot of me. I was on the math team, the bowling team. Yeah, that's right. And I was trying to draw, and I can't draw. I was trying to draw my own video games and doing creative writing, like writing short stories. So that was me. And then junior year, we started ... They had an improv troupe at school, like a comedy improv troupe. And I had always sat at lunch with Sal, Murr, Q, a couple other friends, and they all did it. And they were like, "Joe, you're really ..." I was just really weird, and they're like, "You're really funny and you're quick on your feet. Come try it, come try it."Joe Gatto (36:32):So I didn't want to go, didn't want to go. My parents were like, "Go. Go meet people. Go. Go do things." So I was like, all right. So I went, and I had such a good time at that improv thing. I remember the first scene I did was a lot of fun, and I got a lot of big laughs, and I was like, oh, this is something I might be interested in. And making people laugh actually became my kind of defense mechanism to do ... I started reverse bullying the big football players in my school. I was, like, 105 pounds, all lanky, and there was these big guys walking around. I used to knock their books out of their hands. I'd be like, "Carry my books." I used to make one of the line backers give me piggyback rides to class.Joe Gatto (37:06):And they always ate it up, and it kind of got rid of the whole bullying thing in my class. My class was all very tight. I went to an all boy Catholic high school in Staten Island, so that really helped the dynamic I think. So in high school, I was very different, but I did find my confidence towards the end.Barnes (37:21):Let's hear one that went really badly. What is a prank that really went south fast, and you couldn't stop it. It was already in motion. And maybe it didn't even air maybe. What was one?Joe Gatto (37:36):Well, there was one bit that we did. Honestly, our hit rate is, we've been pretty fortunate to be able to turn something into nothing pretty much the whole time. We've done over 200 episodes, but if you look at the bit numbers, like the numbers of challenges and punishments we've done, it's over 530 times we've been out there making something, doing something. So there's only really two that jump to mind. One of them actually started really early on in season one. I think it was the end of season one. We were like, okay, why don't we go to ... You know in New York City they have all these mommy parks and mommy and me parks. And we're like, oh, it'd be kind of funny if we just start talking baby talk to adults. So we were like, we could start being like ... We'd start talking and be like, "Oh, look what a cute baby. Excuse me, do you know where the R train is?" Just talk to the adults and ... So we're like, all right, we'll go to a kid park so we could justify why we're talking like a baby.Joe Gatto (38:24):And then really quickly, all these moms realized that there was four 30-something year old men without children talking weird in a park, and the cops got called right quick. So the cops showed up, and we're like ... It's like, "What are you doing?" And we're like, "Oh, we're just baby talking to ..." And they're like, "Get out." So we're like, "We have a ..." They're like, "We don't care. Get out. Just get out." So we were like, okay. We realized the mistake in that one. So that was a big one for us.Cubby (38:49):Tell me how you never get recognized, because I know I've asked you this before, but if people haven't heard it, you would think by now people would know you right off the bat, but you have a great answer. You're like, hey, even though our show is very popular, not everybody has seen it believe it or not.Joe Gatto (39:01):Not everybody has seen it, yeah, yeah, so that's ... I mean, New York City's an outlier that way with eight million people. Half of the ... Manhattan has there, so that's four million people to choose from. So it's like, there's still the foot traffic and the amount of people. We can't really go too remote. Sometimes we'll get caught in a rock and a hard place, and people try to fool us, but we catch them. Like 99% of the time, we can tell when somebody's pretending. They turn into a non-human. They turn into a robot. We seem them on camera before they even come up to us. Because if Sal is working the hamburger desk at a hamburger joint, if he's working behind the counter, we'll see the people walk in and all of a sudden, they're like, oh ... They get a look on their face, like, oh. And then they'll walk up to Sal and they'll be like, "One hamburger, please." They don't even talk like a human any more.Joe Gatto (39:46):But I think it's just, we've done some tricks to fight it too. And also, we kind of look like somebody, all of us. If you put us together, if you see all four of us, forget it.Cubby (39:55):Can you filter by somebody's looks, like she's 85 years old. She watches The Hallmark Channel. I know we can get her. Can you do that?Joe Gatto (40:03):Not any more, because our show has become such a co-viewing show, Cubby. Every family's watching it together. When we do our live tours and we see and meet people after ... Like there was this one time we met four generations that watch our show. There was a grandmother, her daughter, her granddaughter, and the great-granddaughter. They all watch the show, all had a different favorite. It became this family show really quickly. And that was weird for us, because we're on truTV at 10:30 at night between two tow truck shows, like I said. So our first season was super edgy, and then all of a sudden the numbers came back and they're like, "Families are watching your show." And it's always harder for me, and I like the challenge as a comedian, to not go for the low-hanging fruit and be dirty or push the edge in that way.Joe Gatto (40:43):So we responded to it very well and was like, let's try to be funny in a way that we can be proud of. And now I have kids that are going to end up watching the show, so I'm kind of glad that happened. My legacy isn't going to be all fart jokes.Leslie (40:59):I imagine people are finding you on YouTube as well, because there's just hours of YouTube stuff for Impractical Jokers. You can go down a deep dark hole on YouTube.Joe Gatto (41:07):Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of fan stuff, too, like a lot of fan-created content. But then we also air ... A big hit for us is when we stared airing in London. We started airing overseas on Comedy Central in the UK, and we've got a big fan base over there and we were actually fortunate enough to go tour over there as well. So we did a live tour there a couple of times, which was fun. We actually even did a London episode, which was great.Leslie (41:27):I remember seeing one of the Impractical Joker episodes where you were going to kiss some lady in a mall, and your fiancee at the time, who I'm assuming is your wife now, was there-Joe Gatto (41:35):Yeah, yeah.Leslie (41:36):And remind me of the premise of that? There was a lady sitting-Joe Gatto (41:41):We had to kiss ... We basically were at the food court of a mall in New Jersey, and we planted one actor, but the guy who was going out didn't know who the actor was. And you had to go around, and you couldn't ask if they were an actor, and just basically go in for a kiss and see. The actor was told to kiss you if you go in for the kiss, so you're out and about going around. So then when it was my turn, there was just this one beautiful lady in purple sitting down, and there's nobody else in the food court. And I'm like, okay, so it's her. I was like, "What's up?" And then my wife walked by, and in my ear, because we wear the earpiece, I hear my wife go, "Oh, be careful out there." And I was like, "Oh," and they made Bessie come out and sit right next to her.Leslie (42:20):Oh.Barnes (42:20):Oh my gosh.Joe Gatto (42:23):I had to make the decision to kiss this actress.Barnes (42:23):That was so funny.Joe Gatto (42:24):Yeah.Barnes (42:25):Are there bits like that when you guys are at the table drawing stuff up where you have to go home to your wife and say, "Listen, honey, I just, we have this great bit, but let me tell you about it before you"-Cubby (42:33):It's only a bit.Barnes (42:35):Sit on the grenade, right?Joe Gatto (42:36):Yeah.Barnes (42:36):You've got to sit on the grenade before it airs. Have you had those?Joe Gatto (42:38):Yeah, I think for the most part, she's down. She gets it. At this point, it's almost a decade. They actually just, in season eight, they used my daughter against me in a great way, which was a lot of fun for a punishment, which I didn't really see coming, where she was in cahoots with them on that where they did a parenting group where you go in and they call in parents and they fill out a questionnaire and it was pre-written, and I had to answer the questions they wrote for me, but they brought in my real daughter. So they made me look like this fool father in front of my daughter, and then they're like-Barnes (43:09):Your life is stressful.Joe Gatto (43:11):Yeah, it's terrible. It's a terrible way to live.Barnes (43:12):I mean, everywhere you go you wonder is this a bit?Joe Gatto (43:15):Yeah, yeah. We've gotten people in their real life really, really well. It's hard though. It takes a lot of time. One of the biggest things we've ever done is over a year and a half we made Sal think he was getting ... He thought he had to give a deposition to the federal government.Cubby (43:30):A whole year of stress, right?Joe Gatto (43:31):A year and a half, yeah.Leslie (43:32):Wow.Joe Gatto (43:32):And it's just, you just have to look for opportunities. We did a bit in downtown Manhattan where you had to ... Sal climbed up on a statue and grabbed its nose and did this stupid joke where, "I got your nose." And it was outside a museum. And we got a letter to the office while we were in the office writing, and the showrunner came in and he was like, "Hey," he was like, "We got a letter from the government that we trespassed and we have to go to court for it." And Sal was there. And then later that day, he came in and he was like, "Oh," he was like, "Don't worry about it." He's like, "They figured out what the purpose ..." I was like, "Okay, well, don't tell Sal that. Let's make him think that he has to go for a deposition."Joe Gatto (44:03):So then we just laid a bunch of groundwork for about three months, and then we put together a deposition and filmed it without Sal knowing, and then six months later, we revealed on set, we made the federal government crash the set and basically hand Sal papers that he had to go to a jail and pay $100,000 and serve 30 days in jail.Barnes (44:25):You guys are good.Cubby (44:27):That's so good.Barnes (44:28):So good.Cubby (44:28):Do you ever fear of running out of content, jokes, pranks? Do you ever-Joe Gatto (44:35):I don't think so, and I'll tell you why. It's because we don't do your normal kind of prank show. I think that we would've totally ran the gamut already, right? Because the show is not your typical prank show. It's more of friends busting each other's chops and making each other laugh, and you never think about that, how long you were friends. You never run out of content, right? If you approach it form that angle, I think it's that way. We don't do ... Everything we do is kind of based in reality to some extent. We really push each other's buttons in a personal way.Barnes (44:59):Yeah, but at some point, your friends have got to have a meeting with themselves and say, is it time to move on from Joe?Cubby (45:04):Right.Barnes (45:05):Yeah. Is it time maybe to just cut this?Joe Gatto (45:09):I add value in other ways to offset that I think. I think I try to add value. I'm good with Christmas gifts, birthdays.Leslie (45:20):What are you doing in your off time right now? What are you doing for entertainment?Joe Gatto (45:25):I'm doing a lot of social network stuff, which is good. I'm doing a lot of Instagram lives and my household has become a TikTok household.Leslie (45:36):Oh yeah.Joe Gatto (45:36):Yeah, I do that. Basically, I write a lot. I got back into writing, which is good. I do a lot of charity work right now because we have the time. And I've also been able to jump on a lot of podcasts with friends and stuff, which I hadn't necessarily been able to do, which is a lot of fun.Barnes (45:49):Talk about your charity. Which can we highlight here? We should highlight something you're working on.Joe Gatto (45:54):I always love Daniel's Music Foundation out of New York. They're a great organization that offer ... They offer instruction to the physically and the mentally disabled in New York and they give classes. And it's a really nice community that I got pulled into a couple of years ago. They're called DMF, Daniel's Music Foundation. Beautiful story about the family and how they got involved and what they do in New York, so ... and they're music too, so it's kind of-Barnes (46:21):Excellent.Joe Gatto (46:22):Nice to highlight them.Barnes (46:23):Well, I can't wait for your shows to come back. When will we see Impractical Jokers and Misery Index, both of those coming back?Joe Gatto (46:30):Misery Index will be back at the end of the year. We just had our mid-season finale, so we'll be coming back at the end of the year, and then hopefully more next year, as well with Dinner Party as well. I think Dinner Party's going to be coming back, which is a really fun format for us too. It's basically our version of a podcast where we just have dinner together and tell stories and-Cubby (46:46):Well, actually Joe, I have a confession to make. This is a joke on you. I don't have a podcast. I don't know who these people are.Leslie (46:52):I've never seen him.Cubby (46:53):We're not even recording right now.Barnes (46:55):Yeah, we have to go, see-Joe Gatto (46:56):Check on the bomb to make sure it said recording.Barnes (46:58):That would've been classic, Cubby, if you would have teed something up to get him.Cubby (47:06):I know.Barnes (47:06):That would've been good. Well Joe, it was such a pleasure meeting you, and we'd love to have you back again some day. You're a funny dude. Thank you.Joe Gatto (47:14):Thanks, any time. I appreciate you guys saying thanks.Leslie (47:15):Thank you so much.Joe Gatto (47:15):Thanks, nice to meet you.Cubby (47:15):Thank you, Joe. I appreciate you, man.Joe Gatto (47:15):You got it. Thank you.Leslie (47:16):That was awesome.Barnes (47:18):A couple of audio dumps. Did you guys hear the new Kygo remix? Tina Turner is excited. She's 80 now, and her mailbox money is going to pick up. Kygo did a remix, he did this to one of Whitney Houston's songs last year. I want to play a bit of it for you. He put his spin on What's Love Got to Do With It. It's attached to a video.Tina Turner (47:40):(singing)Barnes (47:40):Here's where you can hear the Kygo.Tina Turner (47:41):(singing)Barnes (47:46):Too bad nightclubs aren't open now.Tina Turner (47:47):(singing)Cubby (47:48):Yeah, right?Tina Turner (47:59):(singing)Cubby (48:00):Although everybody on Facebook is a DJ now. Every time I go on Facebook at night, someone's spinning.Barnes (48:06):Totally.Cubby (48:06):I noticed that.Barnes (48:07):And three viewers.Cubby (48:10):Three viewers, right.Barnes (48:10):It'll be like the little three number in the bottom and they're having a dance party with the lights and everything.Leslie (48:13):But that song lives on. How about that? Timeless.Barnes (48:16):Her vocals are ... That was the original vocals.Leslie (48:18):Yeah. So good.Barnes (48:19):It's pretty incredible. With all the protesting going on everywhere from Portland to Atlanta to wherever, New York, everyone's going crazy, everyone's very just over amped.Leslie (48:31):Yes.Barnes (48:31):And I finally found someone, I wanted to call attention to a big problem in Minnesota, because there's problem there with nude sunbathing.Leslie (48:40):In Minnesota?Cubby (48:40):In Minnesota?Barnes (48:41):Yeah. They're saying that women cannot go without tops, and I thought, you know what? I'm going to give this person 15 seconds on our show because they're complaining in a very, very calm manner. They have a very effective argument, and I think they sound like a very nice person. So let's listen to her case.Speaker 16 (49:00):It's ridiculous when I turn around and there's a gentleman who has boobs that are as big as or bigger than mine, and he can keep his shirt off, and we're doing the exact same thing, sitting in the sun.Leslie (49:14):She has a point.Cubby (49:14):She does have a great point.Leslie (49:14):Seriously.Barnes (49:19):I just wanted to point out that all protesting doesn't have to be excitable. You can just bring a good case. And look how brief that case was, but effective.Leslie (49:28):She got right to the point.Cubby (49:30):I am a C cup by the way, for the record. She has me thinking.Leslie (49:32):See? See?Cubby (49:33):Yep.Barnes (49:35):Oh man. All right, celebrity confidential this week. This is a weekly series where we're going to go behind the curtain and tell some stories, and I think someone named Cubby's going to start us off. These are stories that have just happened in our careers being in this business or these businesses that weren't brought together because of the business. They just happened kind of on a side spin.Cubby (49:56):I want to talk about Howard Stern. We love and respect him, right?Barnes (50:01):Talent.Cubby (50:02):Talent. I'm sure you've met him, but if you have or haven't, don't tell me yet because I'll tell you what happened to me. So he talked about me on the radio back in the early 2000s a few times. See, when I worked at Z100, the top 40 station, we would do club gigs, and we w

Seguimos anticipando el que será nuevo trabajo de Charley Crockett, Welcome To Hard Times, octavo álbum del músico de San Benito. Esta vez es una comparación entre los artistas y los caballos de carreras a través de "Run Horse Run". Lo hace con la mirada de un trovador robusto que recuerda con nostalgia ciertas tradiciones de antaño y que resucita también su diversidad étnica familiar que le emparenta con criollos, negros, judíos y el mismísimo Davy Crockett. En su única visita a España por el momento, Charley Crockett nos contó personalmente sobre cómo ha abrazado toda esa versatilidad y como su afección cardiaca congénita ha marcado su percepción de casi todo. Y ahora lo expresa con un modelo casi cinematográfico con ciertos toques góticos. Mientras esperamos el nuevo trabajo de otro de nuestros cowboy singers favoritos, Colter Wall, hemos encontrado al músico de Saskatchewan al lado del tejano Vincent Neil Emerson, nativo de Fort Worth, y capaz de abrirse camino en los últimos tiempos como telonero de Turnpike Troubadours o American Aquarium y otros nombres más importantes en los últimos años. Criado en el condado de Van Zandt, al este del Lone Star State, por una madre soltera de ascendencia Choctaw-Apache, se fue de casa a los 16 años para dedicarse a la música. Estuvo girando junto a Colter Wall e Ian Noe, lo que le inspiró para componer “Road Runner” que ahora ha compartido con el primero de ellos en un dúo impagable que grabaron hace un año, cuando el canadiense se acercó a Texas para tocar en el célebre picnic del 4 de julio de Willie Nelson. Pudiera parecer que Mark Knopfler hubiera sido invitado a participar en este "Cupboard", uno de los cortes más inspirados de Glad You Made It, el nuevo álbum de Joshua Ray Walker, que debutó el pasado año con Wish You Were Here, muy por encima de lo que suele ser un disco de presentación. Era un trabajo muy personal mediatizado por el cáncer que le habían diagnosticado a su padre. A este músico de Dallas al que le gusta acurrucarse en las profundidades del country blues. Ha madurado en muy poco tiempo y sus nuevas canciones profundizan en desarrollar sus cualidades aprendidas por una larga experiencia sobre los escenarios, también como miembro de Ottoman Turks, un cuarteto tejano que le ha permitido aumentar el nivel y la musicalidad. Mile Twelve es un quinteto con una flexibilidad musical a toda prueba, partiendo de las raíces del bluegrass, que sigue siendo un estilo seminal y propicio para realizar experimentos sonoros. Roll the Tapes All Night Long es un título perfecto para describir un álbum lleno de energía capaz de capturar esa tradición a través de seis versiones. Cuando escuchamos cómo se han recreado en “Whiskey Trail”, un tema que Los Lobos incluyeron originalmente en su álbum Kiko de 1992, pero que Mile Twelve han llevado a los terrenos de Old and In The Way, Grateful Dead y Newgrass Revival, mezclados con la voz de Nate Sabat. Hill Country se ha convertido en una de las bandas más recomendables con su álbum de debut, de título homónimo que viaja por las colinas del country que se reparten por distintos paisajes de estados tan representativos como California, Tennessee, Georgia o Texas, donde han grabado este trabajo que evidencian sus inclinaciones por las formas de SteelDrivers, Michael Martin Murphey o Jerry Jeff Walker. Uno de los momentos más sugestivos es "Dixie Darlin’”, con ecos de veteranos trovadores del Lone Star State. El cantautor Matthew Szlachetka ha escrito una carta de amor a la ciudad de Los Ángeles en "Lifeboat". Esa es la ciudad donde él mismo ha vivido durante años y de la que ha absorbido las esencias de un folk-rock que se desgrana por las canciones que conforman su tercer álbum, Young Heart, Old Soul. Es un tema sobre dejar tu zona de confort para iniciar una nueva senda, la que el mismo está experimentando tras mudarse a Nashville, donde ha grabado junto al productor Scott Underwood, socio fundador de Train. Una vez más, estamos ante una llamada a la unidad de las personas, a los viajes emocionales. Young Heart, Old Soul es un álbum cálido y personal en el que parece caber todo el mundo con la mirada puesta en el futuro. La última vez que vimos a Ted Russell Kamp fue como bajista de la banda de Shooter Jennings y nos prometió novedades personales. El músico lanzará el próximo viernes Down In The Den, que tiene que ver con el nombre de su propio estudio de grabación, un lugar que le “ha salvado la vida” en esta etapa de confinamiento. “Have Some Faith” es un tema con tintes de country blues que el músico neoyorquino compuso junto a Matt Szlachetka y que grabaron juntos en el estudio de Ted. Es una de esas muestras evidentes de que es lógico que sea un músico y compositor en el que siempre se puede confiar. Eilen Jewell, una de las mejores representantes de los últimos años de ese término llamado Americana, en el que se refugian los estilos básicos de la música popular, parece romper esa extraña tradición que aleja en cierta forma a las mujeres de las canciones de la Creedence Clearwater Revival. Desde luego, salvo honrosas excepciones, como Emmylou Harris, no es muy habitual que ellas canten al grupo californiano. Eilen Jewell es una cantautora jovial y positiva nacida en Boise, en Idaho, que aprovechando estos tiempos de pandemia y alejamiento ha querido recordar sus veranos pasados en el Green River Festival, que se celebra anualmente en Greenfield, Massachusetts, grabando esta versión de “Green River”. Aquella canción de John Fogerty dio nombre al tercer Lp de Creedence Clearwater Revival, allá por 1969, y tiene que ver con un lugar donde Fogerty solía ir de niño en Putah Creek, cerca de Winters, en California. El nombre de "Green River", lo tomó, al parecer, de la etiqueta de una botella de gaseosa con sabor a lima. Con la sensación de que es un impasse debido a esta situación provocada por la pandemia, Molly Tuttle va a publicar un álbum de versiones que abarcan desde los Rolling Stones a Harry Styles, pasando por The National o Cat Stevens. También ha escogido un tema de Grateful Dead como “Standing on the Moon”, que formó parte de Built to Last, el último disco de estudio de la banda californiana allá por 1989. Molly grabó las canciones en su casa y se las envió al productor Tony Berg, que reclutó a algunos músicos de sesión para que añadieran instrumentos desde sus propios hogares. También pudo contar con los apoyos vocales de Ketch Secor de Old Crow Medicine Show y de Taylor Goldsmith de Dawes. A este último podemos oírle en esta canción de los Dead. Refugiarse en las canciones en las que siempre se puede confiar ha sido una de las reglas no escritas de este tiempo de pandemia. Y han sido muchos los artistas que han aprovechado en confinamiento para recrearse en grandes clásicos incuestionables. Emma Swift es uno de estos casos. La artista australiana residente en East Nashville ha completado el álbum Blonde on the Tracks, una reinvención de canciones de Bob Dylan que se publicará a mediados de agosto. El trabajo empezó a gestarse hace tres años, pero quedó incompleto y ahora era el mejor momento para terminarlo. Las canciones de Dylan, además, siempre han sido una buena manera de enfrentarse a los momentos difíciles. “Queen Jane Approximately” es la canción de apertura de Blonde On The Tracks con una tonalidad de folk rock muy propia de la mitad de los 60. Precisamente pertenece en origen al álbum de Dylan de 1965 Highway 61 Revisited. Una canción con ciertos tintes de misterio sobre su protagonista y que el bardo nunca cantó en directo hasta un concierto con Grateful Dead celebrado más de 20 años después de grabarla y que quedó reflejada en el álbum Dylan & The Dead. Michaela Anne, la artista del barrio neoyorquino de Brooklyn con residencia en Nashville, sigue siendo una de nuestras favoritas desde que la conocimos acompañando a su buen amigo Sam Outlaw en una de sus visitas a España. Tras el éxito del álbum Desert Dove durante el pasado año, hemos conocido muy recientemente una nueva canción, "Good Times", que aporta un toque positivo al momento actual. De nuevo Sam Outlaw está a su lado en esa aventura de ampliar horizontes estilísticos. Demasiado mediatizado por el complicado divorcio de Natalie Maines, The Chicks han publicado este pasado viernes Gaslighter, su primer álbum en 14 años, que ha contado con la producción de Jack Antonoff, también demasiado mediatizado por su trabajo junto a Taylor Swift o Lana del Rey. El resultado es un trabajo cuya consistencia se focaliza en los ataques enfurecidos de Natalie a su ex pareja, el actor Adrian Pasdar, pasando por encima de todo lo demás. Eso no parece hacer ningún favor a una de las formaciones femeninas más consistentes de los 90 y 2000. El álbum estaba planeado para cumplir su contrato con el sello Sony de una forma sencilla. De hecho, pensaban reunir distintas versiones. Pero llegó el divorcio y todo cambió. Gaslighter tiene textos tan poderosos como “March March” o “Julianna Calm Down”, con letras explícitas, y canciones como “Sleep at Night” hablar sobre dejar a un marido infiel que tiene una doble vida. 2020 está siendo un mal año para todos y de forma muy especial para la ciudad de Nashville, que sufrió un tornado mortal en marzo y que ha visto cómo le seguía la pandemia del coronavirus. Miranda Lambert ha querido que su nuevo single "Dark Bars" refleje la dependencia de la cultura de la vida nocturna de la conexión humana. Los bares cerrados, los taburetes y las sillas sobre las mesas vacías, los escenarios sin músicos son una especie de corazón sin latido. Hoy queremos cerrar el tiempo de TOMA UNO con la esperanza de que todo volverá, de la misma forma que se ha reconstruido el Basement East de Nashville, que quedó arrasado por el tornado hace unos meses.

American country group The Chicks (formerly know as The Dixie Chicks), the biggest-selling U.S. female band of all time, talk about Gaslighter, their first album in fourteen years. Natalie Maines, lead vocalist, and Marti Maguire who plays the fiddle, reflect on the band’s outspoken political stances from the War in Iraq to Black Lives Matter and the effect these have had on their work. Actor Hammed Animashaun has won praise and awards for his role as Bottom in The Bridge Theatre’s production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And he also stars in NT At Home’s final production – Amadeus by Peter Schaffer. This year, because of the pandemic, there will be no Turner Prize exhibition. Instead bursaries of £10,000 are being awarded to ten artists. Front Row is talking to the recipients and today Kirsty interviews photographer Liz Johnson Artur about her work documenting the lives of black people from across the African Diaspora. Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Tim Prosser

In March 2003, during a London concert and just before the US invasion of Iraq, the lead vocalist of The (Dixie) Chicks, Natalie Maines, told the audience: "We don't want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." Her statement led to radio boycotts, public protests, and corporate blacklisting of the group that lasted for the remainder of the Bush years. In this episode, Mariam and Aisha share the story of The (Dixie) Chicks, as they discuss their relationship with country music, their thoughts on “cancel culture”, and their Chris rankings.

[JON's PICK] It's 4/20 everybody and you know what that means its time to spark up a doob and put on some... Dixie Chicks? That's right everyone today we're going to be covering their last album, the 5-grammy-winning hit album "Taking the Long Way." The album has secured it's legacy by being very personal, while also being a response to the political pressures of the time, and being a massive success despite the country music industry completely shutting them out. Before the positive response from Green Day's anti-Bush "American Idiot" in 2004 the Dixie Chicks faced huge backlash over far less of a statement in 2003, when they were putting on a performance in England. This was during the lead up to the invasion of Iraq on false pretenses and lead singer Natalie Maines expressed her concern saying, "We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." The Country Music Industry erupted in anger, painting them as unpatriotic for voicing their opinion on foreign soil, and took them off of the airwaves, boycotted them in churches, and even got people together to destroy their records. All of their country friends turned their back on The Dixie Chicks and they felt it. Apparently, if you didn't follow Tobey Keith's "boot in your ass, it's the American way" response to 9/11, your opinion was wrong and you were shunned in Country music. But that didn't stop The Dixie Chicks from digging into that rebel Country spirit and creating one of their best works, and making Country wish that it wasn't their last. Fortunately, since recording this episode, they've announced a new album coming out May 1st, and we can see what they've been up to all this time. Join Brad, Jon, and Scott as they finally dive into the realm of pop Country...

In 2003, The Dixie Chicks were on top of the world. They were the number 1 selling female band of all time, They were Grammy winners, and all around darlings of the country music scene. But then, at a club date in London, the band's lead singer, Natalie Manines, told the crowd that the band was "ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." The backlash from their American fans was immediate. People burned their CDs, country music stations banned their music, and the band members received death threats. And we have A LOT to say about all of it WARNING! PLEASE READ BEFORE LISTENING! It won't come as a shock that this episode deals with politics. It also won't come as a shock that Patrick and Gillian love the Dixie Chicks and think they were on the right side of history. Patrick and Gillian also believe that if you disagree with them, you are entitled to your opinion. Believe it or not, we don't get too into the politics here, though, obviously it's in there. We hope all of our listeners can enjoy this episode. However, if the discussion of Bush-era politics and hearing Natalie Maines call The President a dumb fuck is going to upset you, no hard feelings if you want to skip this one. LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

Corona Virus blues, Nazi Guard and Natalie Maines by Naugy

Introducing Denny From The Flat River Band Today's guest joining us on the Denny from the American up and coming Flat River Band. One thing is apparent when you listen to The Flat River Band. The trio, comprised of siblings Andy, Dennijo, and Chad Sitze, love to have fun when they are playing music – and it shows. This bond has carried the success of the band throughout the years as the trio has opened for the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, TG Sheppard, among others.  The brothers have also charted #1 hits on the bluegrass gospel charts as well as have had their songs featured in the 2018 movie “The Least of These — A Christmas Story” featuring Duane Allen (Oak Ridge Boys), Deborah Allen, and Tayla Lynn (Loretta Lynn's granddaughter).  That unabandoned joy and love of music comes to the forefront when you listen to the band's new album, Every Dog Has Its Day. The trio's fifth effort is one that the band is very excited to bring to the attention of its fans. The Dots Join Up For Flat River Band Aaron McDaris who plays with Rhonda Vincent and the Rage was brought into play banjo, and much to the brothers' surprise, he brought with him his 1934 Gibson RB-3 that was owned by Sonny Osborne who recorded the University of Tennessee's theme song “Rocky Top” with that same banjo in 1967. One of Dennijo's guitar superheroes, Johnny Hiland who is legally blind was brought in to play the electric guitar, while Stuart Duncan played fiddle. Those all-star names only add to the first—rate musicianship that fans have expected from The Flat River Band over the years. Again, Denny chalks that up to the undeniable bond between the three brothers that grew through a dozen years performing at Branson's Silver Dollar City and five at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge. So how do you make a noise that gets heard in today's world of American Idol and instant gratification that actually builds a career? And is their path fixed and determined or simply understanding that somewhere down the line the dots join up to show the true story? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show the one and only Denny from the Flat River Band Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty subjects with Denny from Flat River Band such as: How they toured as children with their parents, an unconventional childhood but one full of life lessons Denny shared how he had to learn not to press the hot buttons of his family even when he felt a desire to do so.. Why he and his brothers have vowed never to play the Broadway in Nashville again...although it teaches you so much in the process. Why no artist is better than the team that surrounds it, even if some members of that team turn out not to be the right ones. and lastly........ The magic of Dolly Parton who has remained firmly rooted to her humble beginnings no matter how big her star.

This episode we're making nice with our guest Caleb Hearon and his favorite band: The Chicks! We chart the Chicks' journey from small-town dreamers, to brides on the run, to country music's most outspoken activists (with of course a little murder in between). We also discuss Caleb's plans for a one-man show about Natalie Maines that he plans to perform for Natalie Maines on their next tour so you know what that means: get this this to Natalie Maines! Also listen, subscribe, and try every single hairstyle until one sticks. This episode was recorded in November 2019 while The Chicks were using a previous name. -- Follow Ryan @blackbeltjonz Follow Chris @chrisjcoffin Follow Caleb @calebsaysthings / @caleb.crossfit

He got a photo of them and the kids in their costumes, I have included that photo on this episode's cover. Let's start this set of with a rockin' little number. Truth #2 and Top of the World, those were both recorded by the Dixie Chicks for their Home album. And Top of the World may have become a hit for them, but not after fans turned on them when lead singer Natalie Maines made some disparaging remarks oversees about fellow Texan, President George W. Bush. That was Patty Griffin singing Top of the World live on a previous ACL Taping, even before she had recorded it on an album. This last song, it's my favorite, if it doesn't make you cry, I don't know what will, enjoy and thanks for listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tiny-curations-deep-dives/message

    In the preface to "Blood on Black," I wrote that one of the untold stories about the West Memphis 3 case worthy of a book treatment was "how the victims' families were devastated first by the loss of the boys and then by a series of betrayals and accusations that still dog them over 20 years later." There already had been a book about Mark Byers, father of Chris Byers, by Greg Day, "Untying the Knot: John Mark Byers and the West Memphis 3." The book was a sympathetic, balanced look at a troubled man, obviously deeply grieving the loss of his son, but it was not a book written from the heart. At long last, after many years of talk about his prospective book, the story of Terry Hobbs has finally been told. "Boxful of Nightmares," which is Hobbs' story as told to his cousin, Vicky Edwards, is the straightforward, deeply felt testament of a man who, after many harrowing years living in the aftermath of the murder of stepson Stevie Branch, was blindsided by a string of high-profile accusations based on the flimsiest of evidence. Evidence doesn't get much thinner than a single hair that may or may not have been from Hobbs and is perfectly explainable as a secondary transfer of evidence. The hair evidence was found in the laces that bound Michael Moore when he was murdered by drowning in the ditch that also took the life of Stevie, and where the body of their friend, Christopher Byers, was also dumped in the late afternoon of May 5, 1993, in West Memphis, Ark. The bodies of the three boys, all 8-year-old second-graders, were found the next day after an extensive search. Eventually three local teens, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, were arrested after Misskelley confessed to the crimes. The three were convicted of the murders in 1994 but eventually released in 2011 after pleading guilty in exchange for release for time served. The impetus for the plea deal came from a groundswell of public opinion after two documentaries on HBO misled the public into thinking the case had been mishandled by the police and the courts. Various rock stars and Hollywood celebrities took the "Free the West Memphis 3" cause to heart. Until 2007, the public was led to believe that the likeliest suspect was Mark Byers based not on evidence but mostly on his wild demeanor, which was largely an act for the benefit of the cameras paid for by filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. A book, "Devil's Knot," by an Arkansas writer devoted much of its text to Byers' life while minimizing the deeply troubling records of the convicted killers. The name of Terry Hobbs appears just four times in the index, while a whole column of indexed references cite Mark Byers. Such was the state of the case in 2002, the date of the copyright. All that changed after defense investigators used deception to gather cigarette butts probably left by Terry Hobbs and found that his DNA could not be ruled out as a source for the crime scene hair, with about 1.5 percent of the public being possible sources. Suddenly the media bought into the idea that Hobbs was a viable suspect, despite the obvious flimsiness of the "evidence." Hobbs and David Jacoby were interviewed by the West Memphis Police Department on June 21, 2007, about their recollections of May 5 and 6, 1993. Both men admitted to having difficulty recalling the exact sequence of events from a stressful time some 14 years earlier, and their stories were not consistent on details. Still, Hobbs, and Jacoby, a friend of Hobbs, described a series of events that, combined with other documented facts, effectively gave Hobbs an alibi, if one was needed. In 2009, Jacoby gave another statement describing Hobbs searching extensively for his stepson that evening, often with Jacoby and with a number of contacts with Jacoby during the time the boys were believed to have been murdered. In an online letter to fans in November 2007, Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines posted about her then-recent involvement in the West Memphis 3 cause, based on seeing the documentaries and subsequent close contact with Echols' wife, Lorri Davis. Maines claimed that DNA evidence linked to Hobbs and Jacoby was found at the crime scene. She also cited various other tenuous claims against Hobbs. Maines followed up with similar statements at a Little Rock rally for the killers in 2007. This drew a defamation lawsuit in 2008 from Hobbs, who alleged the statements were false. He sought compensation for damages to his reputation. The suit allowed her attorneys to depose Hobbs extensively and then query him on a variety of unproven allegations, with the videos then posted in public media. While the depositions provided no proof that Hobbs was in any way a viable suspect, they provided further fuel for Hobbs' attackers. As Hobbs says in the book, "The questioning was brutal and most of it was designed to implicate me in a crime I didn't commit." The lawsuit was dismissed by the courts in 2009, with the judge ruling that "actual malice" (a criteria for establishing defamation of a public figure) could not be established nor could Hobbs prove that the statements were made with "reckless disregard" for the truth. The court ruled that Hobbs had established himself as a "limited public figure" through his own actions, including announced plans to publish a book and so, absent actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth, he had no case for defamation. The statement has since been scrubbed from the Dixie Chicks Web site along with most references to Maines' activism in the West Memphis case. Dubious assertions about a "Hobbs family secret," with the sources being two young criminals with a grudge against a Hobbs family member, aired in "West of Memphis," a fourth documentary, this one co-produced by one of the killers, Damien Echols, with the support of "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson. In 2013, a court action seeking access for family members to the murder evidence was used as a pretext for filing statements intended to implicate Hobbs as well as three others who had already figured in the case. The sworn statements came from two career criminals serving long sentences for rape in the Arkansas prison system. Though completely unsubstantiated and often contradicted by case evidence, those statements again got media play and brought more attention to Hobbs. The smear campaign brought death threats and harassment, with strangers showing up at Hobbs' workplace in attempts to compromise his employment. Essentially, though he has never been a suspect, Hobbs has been treated as such by many followers of the case and members of the poorly informed public. The book sets the record clear, though those already convinced are unlikely to be changing their minds. Lisa O'Brien, a co-host of the ""Behind the Curtain" and "Clear And Convincing" podcasts, gives some enlightening background information in the book's foreward. The book's title, "Boxful of Nightmares," not only doesn't work. It's creepy -- "box" inevitably draws thoughts of a coffin. Still, the subtitle actually tells prospective readers what the book actually is -- Terry's story. The box in title refers to a box holding the journals Hobbs has kept since May 1993, a chronicle of personal struggle against the devastation wrought not only by Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley but by irresponsible media figures and former acquaintances and family members who will go to any lengths on the basis of a grudge. Hobbs admits "some of the details are foggy" in his chronicle of the evening of May 5, writing from the standpoint of 18 years later (it's now 25 years later). No doubt his detractors will point out discrepancies with earlier statements and complain about the lack of specific detail on times, etc. Despite the admitted fogginess, a clear picture emerges. At one point he explains "I didn't call Pam at work, because I didn't want to alarm her and I still thought the three boys were playing and we would find them, scold them for scaring us, and get home for the evening." Pam Hobbs, the mother of Stevie Branch and now Terry's former wife, has often described her anger and resentment over Terry not informing her about their son's continued disappearance until after her work shift ended at 9. His explanation, while likely still unsatisfactory to her and many others, exemplifies a hopeful and common sense attitude --- in a more innocent time, it was not unusual for boys to wander off and lose track of time, worrying parents. The horror of his stepson's murder was well beyond Terry's comprehension that evening. The story is told in Hobbs' own words, to the point and heartfelt, with occasional interjections from Vicky Edwards, a sympathetic voice in her own right. It's a relatively short, easy read, told in the downhome vernacular of a regular guy from the Mid-South. If anything, it's often too honest about the many trials and tribulations Hobbs has faced -- some he acknowledges he brought upon himself, some he was able to overcome, much of which he has simply endured. His on-again, off-again relationship with Pam obviously weighs heavily on him, as he sees what might have been and what it became. As for his daughter Amanda, who was just 4 when her brother was killed, he continues to be her protector, her loving father, while grieving over the traumas and family dramas that have drastically affected her life, including trips to rehab and drug court. While Hobbs obviously has deep dislikes for certain folks, attempting to even the score with his most personal attackers, it seems, unlike some others, he has been able to move on from the events of May 1993 while never losing sight of what was lost. Some of what was lost was the assumption of innocence that most of us would simply take for granted. While celebrities with deep pockets and an unsympathetic court system are arrayed against him, he seems most troubled by everyday encounters gone wrong. Describing an encounter with a sympathetic member of the public at a local Subway shop, he says, "It was a humbling experience to meet someone who didn't hate me." Still, he expresses gratitude for those who have stood by him. And always, there is the son who is now just a memory. As he says, "There were many things that his mother and I, his father and his sister never got to see, because somebody took him from us. We didn't get to see him play in little league, have his first girlfriend, teach him to drive or buy him a car. We miss his first dance, his first day of high school, his first football game and his graduation. We missed Stevie." "Boxful of Nightmares" is an often eloquent testament of fortitude from a victim who refuses to let injustice, disappointment and loss define his life.           https://www.amazon.com/Boxful-Nightmares-personal-memoirs-Memphis/dp/0578490374/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?crid=221LSZODWO6UZ&keywords=boxful+of+nightmares&qid=1557084616&s=gateway&sprefix=boxful%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1-fkmrnull  

In this last show, Todd and Leh discussed some of the history and current law on Prenuptial Agreements.  In this show, they examine some current and past celebrity prenuptial fights to learn from each one.   They first look at the arguments made by actor Adrian Pasdar (General Talbot on Marvel Agents of Shield) in his divorce with Natalie Maines (former singer with the Dixie Chicks).  Natalie and Adrian had entered into a prenuptial agreement when they married in 2000.  Natalie filed for divorce in 2017, but Adrian is challenging the enforceability of the prenuptial agreement.  Leh and Todd discuss the provisions of the actual prenuptial agreement and whether a Court would rule to enforce the agreement in Georgia.  Listen in to find out whether Adrian's arguments hold water in Georgia and what the Court might consider when making its decision? Next, they examine what happened in other prenuptial agreements and summarize what you can learn from them if you are considering a prenuptial.  Some of the agreements they look involve: Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas Charlie Sheen and Brook Mueller Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Steven Spielberg and Amy Irving Elizabeth Taylor and Larry Fortensky Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren To read a transcript of this show and others, visit our website.

In this show, Todd and Leh explore a topic they have not really discussed before on the show - Pre-nuptial Agreements.  They start out with a little history on pre-nuptials, also known as ante-nuptial agreements. Did you know they used to be considered a violation of public policy? They discuss who might want a pre-nup, what can you protect and what can’t you protect.  They examine the three part test that Courts use to decide whether the pre-nuptial agreement is enforceable or not.     At the conclusion of the show, they share some best practices to help ensure that your pre-nup will be enforced by a Court.   If you would like to read a transcript of this show (and others), please visit our website at www.mtlawoffice.com/podcasts  In the next show, they will take this three part test and apply it to the pre-nup in the divorce case involving Natalie Maines, former member of the Courtry Band, The Dixie Chicks.

Finally, a new episode of "Will & Grace". There may be a Celine Dion biopic. Diana Ross will perform at the Grammys on her 75th birthday. Trouble for one of Aretha Franklin's sons. This woman says she can taste your name. Natalie Maines divorce.

For this week’s scandal, Ryan (@TheRealRyAlk) gives Armin (@ArminMahram) the complete story behind the Dixie Chicks criticizing President George W. Bush in 2003, their subsequent blacklisting, and the Dixie Chicks epic comeback from exile.

My guest this week is the great Texas musician and icon of the recording world, Lloyd Maines. Best known as a pedal steel player, Maines is a multi-instrumentalist who has also performed and/or recorded playing dobro, electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin, lap steel guitar, and banjo. He toured and recorded as a member of the Joe Ely Band and has also played with Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark, Butch Hancock, Terry Allen, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and other Texas musicians. As the father of Natalie Maines, lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, he was instrumental in bringing the current lineup of bandmates together in 1995, which jump-started their sudden popularity and change in sound. Maines won a Grammy Award for Best Country Album in 2003 as producer of the Dixie Chicks' album, "Home".

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?  That's the first line in this epic song.  We disect the lyrics and use it to help understand conscious parenting. Roger Water's song (on the show we use the Natalie Maines version) points out that parents can have the best intentions when "protecting" their children, but if done unconsciously, or with lack of self awareness, it can backfire. Full Lyrics to Mother: Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb Mother do you think they'll like the song Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls Ooooh aah, Mother should I build a wall Mother should I run for president Mother should I trust the government Mother will they put me in the firing line Ooooh aah, is it just a waste of time Hush now baby, baby don't you cry Mama's gonna make all of your Nightmares come true Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you Mama's gonna keep you right here Under her wing she won't let you fly but she might let you sing Mama will keep baby cosy and warm Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall Mother do think she's good enough for me Mother do think she's dangerous to me Mother will she tear your little boy apart Oooh aah, mother will she break my heart Hush now baby, baby don't you cry Mama's gonna check out all your girl friends for you Mama won't let anyone dirty get through Mama's gonna wait up till you get in Mama will always find out where You've been Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe You'll always be a baby to me Mother, did it need to be so high....
