Podcasts about try that in a small town

Chairman Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee joins the Try That In A Small Town podcast from CMA Fest in Nashville. He breaks down what the powerful Ways and Means Committee actually does and how it touches every American's life through taxes, trade, Social Security, Medicare, and more. Jason opens up about his small-town Missouri roots, being a fourth-generation farmer, raising white buffalo, and why he still lives in the same rural community he represents. He explains how he took the Ways and Means Committee on the road to 32 states to listen to working families, small businesses, and farmers before writing what he calls the “Big Beautiful Bill” – the largest tax cut in U.S. history, including no tax on tips and overtime. The conversation gets candid on Social Security's future, election integrity and slow vote counts in places like California, and what happens when people lose trust in the system. Jason also shares behind-the-scenes stories of working closely with President Trump – from grilling him for three hours on every line of a 103-title tax bill in the Oval Office to the now-famous “red button” that just orders Diet Coke. Along the way, they talk CMA Fest, Jason's obsession with Reba, the Chiefs, Mahomes vs. Brady, cleaning up Washington, D.C., and why he believes the founding fathers' values are really small-town values. Jason closes with a powerful story of a single mom whose $10,000 tax refund changed her life – and why that's why he still fights for small towns and working families.

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

The guys are back in the Patriot Mobile studio and this one goes deep fast. They kick things off with allergies, football withdrawal, and post-season sports, then dive into a raw and candid discussion about Pride Nights in sports, the “Cow Gays” controversy at a Predators game, and what it means to live and let live without having beliefs forced on you.From there, the crew shifts gears into whether we really landed on the moon, how they personally handle bad days, why everyone seems to live in sweatpants now, and their ongoing list of “dipshitty” behavior in everyday life.Along the way they talk songwriting recognition, plaques, neighborhood pet etiquette, Siri refusing to answer questions while driving, and a powerful moment of gratitude for U.S. special forces rescuing a downed pilot overseas.It is funny, tense, honest, and very human.Patriot Mobile, Original Glory, E-Spaces, and Peacemaker Coffee all get some love, plus a tease of the new Try That In A Small Town coffee line.1:56 Daylight vs early darkness, fall vibes, and intros2:39 Neil's

Oftentimes, they guys cover songs that have flown under the radar with their offensive or terrible lyrics... and sometimes, they cover songs like Jason Aldean's Try That In A Small Town. Woefully ignorant, dangerous, and replete with a music video with one of the worst backdrops in history. Bad all around.

For decades, hip hop has been the most successful genre on the charts. Then, in 2023, a shift occurred. For the first time, the country songs outnumbered hip hop songs on the year end charts. Last year, country's boom was led by hyper-partisan hits like Jason Aldean's “Try That In A Small Town” and Oliver Anthony's “Rich Men North of Richmond.” In 2024, country has taken a left turn. Beyoncé's genre-busting album Cowboy Carter pushed the limits of what country can sound like, and who can make it. Two of her collaborators have since charted #1 hits: Shaboozey with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Post Malone with “I Had Some Help” featuring Morgan Wallen. Country music is growing, and its sound is changing. Will it replace hip hop for good?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Untold Story of the Controversial #1 Hit Song 'Try That In A Small Town' and How It Ignited an American Movement | Presented by the Songwriters

This week, we revisit one of our favorite episodes of 2023! The panel begins by examining Barbie, Greta Gerwig's hot pink, record-breaking movie about the iconic Mattel doll. Then, the trio dives into Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, which chronicles the life of the “Father of the Atomic Bomb,” and explores whether the film achieves its aims. Finally, they are joined by Slate's Chris Molanphy to discuss the controversy behind country singer Jason Aldean's latest song, “Try That In A Small Town.” In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel is once again joined by Chris Molanphy to discuss all things Summer Strut. With the annual show just weeks away, the four pull back the curtain to detail their processes, weird observations, and more. Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements: Dana: In line with her theme of the week, “Yay movies and go, go, go to the theater,” Dana highly recommends Theater Camp, a delightful film by Ben Platt and Molly Gordon. Julia: Yotam Ottolenghi's recipe for zucchini pasta with crispy capers and pistachios isn't the sort of thing Julia would normally endorse (for one, it's extremely laborious and you will need to fry individual basil leaves), but it's vegan, a showstopper, and completely worth it. Stephen: In honor of the late singer, Stephen recommends two Tony Bennett albums: “The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album” (1975) and “Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall” (1962). Outro music: “Last Sunday” by OTE. Podcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Kat Hong. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.

The top three songs in America right now are country tracks, and the top two hits are by artists facing allegations of racism. At the top of the charts is Jason Aldean: he shot to number one after releasing his music video "Try That In A Small Town," which included montages critical of the Black Lives Matter protests and showed Aldean singing in front of a courthouse where a Black teen was lynched. Morgan Wallen has the number two hit, and his popularity rose after being cancelled for using the N-word.But this is not unprecedented for the genre. Brittany sits down with historian Amanda Martinez to talk about country music's history of marketing itself in opposition of Blackness for financial gain.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss a bombshell report that proves the Trump campaign isn't using the millions its raising on the campaign - rather for Trump's myriad indictments to the tune of $56 million and counting. They move over to Israel, where Benjamin Netenyahu is folliwng the Trump playbook by attempting to pass a law that would essentially castrate the Supreme Court - thereby getting him out of serious fraud and corruption cases filed against him. They finish up dissecting what country singer Jason Aldean is really saying with his new song "Try That In A Small Town." Go to http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast and become a patron.

Uncle Ted often pokes fun at country music but he always salutes their talent, hard work and dedication to their music. While is out on tour, we replay this classic episode from this Spring where he calls upon conservative celebrities to stand for what they believe in. Did Jason Aldean catch this show back then? Either way, we salute him and his song, “Try That In A Small Town”.

The reason why the left hates Jason Aldean's song "Try That In A Small Town" song is the same reason why they hate anything else that spotlights the difference between Democrats and Republicans. The left is sickened by the image staring back at them in the mirror. What's worse is as the Democrats attempt to claim the song is racist, they claims only expose how racist the left is and how low their opinion is of minorities. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thejacobjohnstonshow/message

Music writer Mark Guarino explains the roots of Jason Aldean's hater hit, Try That In A Small Town. Does Aldean really hate Black people or is he pretending to in order to sell records and make more money? What are the roots of the song? How is it different that z Merle Haggard's Okie from Muskogee. Mark knows as much or more about country music as anyone in Chicago as he just wrote a book called Country and Midwestern:: Chicago in the History of Country Music and the Folk Revival.

Will Trump be indicted for a third time before we go live?  Also, DeSantis thinks slavery was good for black people, Barbie is too woke for grown men, Small Town Threats, and much more on episode 2 of Black and White with Brian Rundle and Lana Quest.

This week, the panel begins by examining Barbie, Greta Gerwig's hot pink, record-breaking movie about the iconic Mattel doll. Then, the trio dives into Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, which chronicles the life of the “Father of the Atomic Bomb,” and explores whether the film achieves its aims. Finally, they are joined by Slate's Chris Molanphy to discuss the controversy behind country singer Jason Aldean's latest song, “Try That In A Small Town.”  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel is once again joined by Chris Molanphy to discuss all things Summer Strut. With the annual show just weeks away, the four pull back the curtain to detail their processes, weird observations, and more.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: In line with her theme of the week, “Yay movies and go, go, go to the theater,” Dana highly recommends Theater Camp, a delightful film by Ben Platt and Molly Gordon.  Julia: Yotam Ottolenghi's recipe for zucchini pasta with crispy capers and pistachios isn't the sort of thing Julia would normally endorse (for one, it's extremely laborious and you will need to fry individual basil leaves), but it's vegan, a showstopper, and completely worth it.  Stephen: In honor of the late singer, Stephen recommends two Tony Bennett albums: “The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album” (1975) and “Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall” (1962).  Outro music: “Last Sunday” by OTE Podcast production by Cameron Drews.

EPISODE 253: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump may be indicted for the January 6th attemped coup – today. Or, not! But clearly as of 1 PM eastern at the Prettyman Courthouse in DC, the window TO indict is open for the first time on this 10th day since Trump received Jack Smith's 2nd Target Letter. The window from Target Letter to indictment last time might have been as short as 10 days, maybe as long as 20. Plus what could be at the center of a THIRD set of indictments: more testimony from Trump staffers that he knew damn well that the election wasn't stolen and that he didn't win it. And that in February 2020 he even praised the improved election security and audit capability for paper ballots, nine months before the 2020 Presidential Election. And Trump online: reposts Marjorie Pornography Greene's “little bitch” quote about the Special Prosecutor, and a moronic poll over Republicans' “Dream President” Plus: obeying Supreme Court rulings is now optional. Who knew? That's the verdict from the Republican Governor of Alabama Kay Ivey, and the Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. So I guess Roe-V-Wade wasn't overturned and that key 2nd Amendment case – Heller – doesn't say anything about the right to own a gun after all. B-Block (16:33) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Doug Burgum, your pro-vigilante presidential aspirant. Ben Shapiro on Barbie: Go Woke Go Broke. World on Barbie? $337 Million opening weekend. My late neighbor Tony Bennett. (23:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Fox blasts USA Women's Soccer team for not singing the national anthem while it NEVER PLAYS the national anthem on the games it televises. Elon Musk doesn't OWN "X" for social media (and no, he's NOT calling them 'Xeets') and the World Trade Center promotes itself with a photo of the building - and a passenger jet. C-Block (28:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: In an all-new edition, I have two stories about baseball's newest Hall of Famers. Fred McGriff was drafted by the Yankees but traded away as a minor leaguer for garbage because an active Yankees player insisted to George Steinbrenner it was a great deal, and Scott Rolen insisted to me that the highlight of his 1996 season was the elaborate practical joke he, his minor league teammates, the manager, and the umpire concocted and played on me during a game - and he stuck to this even after I reminded him that 1996 was the year he began his Hall of Fame major league career,.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Small-town Americans should understand how the progressives running the music industry in LA and Nashville really think about your beautiful little towns that speckle our great nation. Thanks to the latest ridiculous controversy conjured up by the left, their disdain for us is becoming quite obvious. On today's show, Sara breaks down the reaction to Jason Aldean's new song "Try That In A Small Town" and what it says about the radical left. There is absolutely no racist language in the song and the music video is full of actual events committed by people of all races. Despite that, there have been many prominent calls for Aldean to be canceled. But Aldean refuses to be silenced. That's why Americans have made his song the most popular one in America. And that's why Sara is heading to Ohio to report from Aldean's concert tonight.Let's break the communist stranglehold on the music and movie industry.

In this episode, Larry O'Connor is joined by Greg Price of the State Freedom Caucus Network to discuss the uproar around country star Jason Aldean's music video for "Try That In A Small Town." Despite CMT banning the video, it has become a viral sensation and has clinched the #1 spot on iTunes. The discussion centers on free speech, "woke" backlash, and its repercussions for conservative viewpoints in music.

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, country music star Jason Aldean is under fire for releasing his song "Try That In A Small Town," which the left claims have pro-lynching undertones. If you actually listen to the lyrics of the song and watch the music video, that couldn't be further from the truth. All Aldean is doing is promoting small town values that have been completely abandoned by municipalities across the country. Aldean has not backed down and is standing by his song, as he should. We here on the morning show are behind Aldean and his message. In other news of the day, the Gilgo Beach killer's wife has filed for divorce, Israeli President Isaac Herzog meets with President Biden and speaks before Congress, IRS whistleblowers exposing the Biden Crime Family testify before the oversight committee, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams puts his foot down and claims there is officially no more room for housing migrants in New York City.

EPISODE 248: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Judge Aileen Mercedes Cannon will now begin to decide whether we all live or die. This, sadly, is not hyperbole. A federal judge who has presided over a total of four trials for a total of fourteen days will today make the first of a series of decisions that will ultimately end with whether we all live or die. The forest really CAN never be seen because we're next to the trees and how fitting the analogy is because while we are down here taking samples of the bark to check markings by Jack Smith, the big picture is: this judge, Aileen Cannon will at minimum help decide whether or not Donald Trump is kept out of the White House and that will at minimum help decide whether or not we have any chance of maintaining a president who will lead this nation and thus this world through climate change. It really is that stark, and I think we forget about it and then something snaps the picture into focus and in my case it IS two pictures. The first is that one grinning idiot in the black "SAN DIEGO" shirt and the black shorts and the black cap and the black sunglasses in Death Valley taking selfies with a digital thermometer reading 131 degrees - both as if that heat couldn't hill him, personally, and as if that 131 degree temperature was temporary or transient or unique to that locale or something he has to take a picture of so he can preserve it for his grandchildren and oh by the way at the present rate of acceleration of the climate catastrophe don't worry about preserving it for your grandchildren because you're not going to have any, nor is anybody else, because the last words Donald Trump ever speaks on this earth will be about how money is more important than anything or how climate change is a hoax or both and if any of the existential decisions about this planet of the next five years are made with Trump as president - we're all dead. The other image was this redneck Jason Aldean, the pride of MAGA, New Year's Eve guest at Mar-a-Lago, the yodeling darling of the Climate Denial crowd dropping a song on Friday daring black protestors to – to quote the title “Try That In A Small Town” – and then having to run off the stage and get two IV's stuck in him so he didn't lose consciousness while singing the ferocious tropical heat of Hartford, Connecticut. In July. At night. But there's no man-made climate change. Try THAT in a Small Town, Jason, after the energy grid has failed and your governor chased away all the doctors because Woke. 109 in Rome, 110 expected in Miami, 126 in Sanbao China, 152 at Persian Gulf Airport which is in Iran but closer to Dubai than anywhere else and it didn't matter because it was 152. So if the power had failed at Persian Gulf Airport, I mean, again, energy grid failure -- as if it were Texas -- there would've been a mass casualty event. Judge Cannon is to tell Trump's lawyers and Walt Nauta's lawyers and Jack Smith's team some preliminary findings about the process for handling classified information at the trial and all the indications she gave yesterday suggested she would be adding an item to the agenda: the planned trial start date and timeline and we are now on the path.  She won't be the only one who decides whether we all live or die. But she gets the first set of decisions.As to us, history doesn't usually SCHEDULE stuff this important in advance. It didn't warn us about Bubonic Plague or Archduke Ferdinand or Hitler or John Brown. But it's warning us in advance about this. I guess that means we're lucky. B-Block (17:30) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Flynn and Bannon are subpoenaed for the Smartmatic suit against Fox. So? Do they tell the truth, or lie? Harlan Crow tries to deduct the Good Ship Super-Yacht Clarence Thomas; Pink Beret Girl from 1/6 is finally found - and turned in by an EX. And the rule of thumb in cable news is: the first week of a new show is its ratings peak. Which means Kaitlin Collins soon will not be watching her own program. (22:51) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Megyn Kelly blasts RFK Jr's sister because Meg is too dumb to know what RFK Jr's sister DOES; The mayor betrays Atlanta over Cop City; and brilliant plan, Vivek Ramaswamy: on the Supreme Court, he wants: Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and the judge who protected a Beauty Pageant's right to discriminate against transgendered people. C-Block (28:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: If Lionel Messi really is going to debut for the Miami MLS team Friday we have to welcome him in the only way Countdown can. Whatever your watch may say, it's always SOCCER BREAKDOWN O'CLOCK!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
