Sometimes dreams only come true when you build them yourself. For Chris Johnson, that philosophy has defined a remarkable career spanning decades in the music industry. Now, after years spent creating opportunities for other artists while quietly honing his own craft, Johnson is stepping back into the spotlight with his powerful new single, "Better Days Ahead," out June 26 2026, and  the first release from his forthcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace.Born and raised in the rural community of Lakeside in San Diego County, California, Johnson grew up balancing life between Future Farmers of America, horseback riding, surfing and skateboarding. Raised among cattle, rodeos, and wide-open spaces, he proudly identifies as an "urban cowboy"—someone who may live in the suburbs but carries a rural spirit at heart.Chris Johnson is a California-born singer-songwriter, musician, entrepreneur, and self-described urban cowboy whose career spans performance, production, sound engineering, venue ownership, and artist development. Raised in Lakeside, California, Johnson has spent decades immersed in the music industry while continuing to write songs rooted in real-life experiences. His upcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace, showcases his distinctive blend of traditional Country storytelling and hard-earned authenticity.Music was woven into Johnson's life from the very beginning. With a mother, aunts, and grandfathers who were all musicians, his passion for songwriting and performance came naturally. By the age of twelve, he was already playing guitar and singing alongside his mother at schools, county fairs, senior centers, and community events. Influenced by legends such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Huggard, George Jones, John Denver, and Pete Seeger, Johnson developed a deep appreciation for storytelling through song.As a teenager, he played in school bands before forming his own country rock group. During college, he fronted a local band called Border Tones before pursuing solo performances throughout Southern California. His journey eventually led him to Los Angeles, where he attended Musicians Institute and joined a booking agency that sent him across the country performing corporate events and hotel engagements.While the experience sharpened his skills as a performer, Johnson ultimately felt pulled toward creating music of his own."I really wanted to get back to doing my own music," Johnson recalls. "I didn't even have a house—we were just in band houses and hotel rooms all the time."Back in Los Angeles, Johnson built an impressive behind-the-scenes career, running sound for legendary venues including the Whisky A Go Go and the Roxy, managing backline operations for FM Station. Also, touring as guitar tech for John Fogerty, Styx, Government Mule, Lisa Marie Presley, Chaka Khan and System of A Down. While also performing demo vocals, composing commercial jingles, and providing voiceover work. He also launched his own equipment company, Hollywood Studio Rentals, Valley Production Storage and Drum Paradise LA before eventually purchasing the very Country music venue where he frequently performed—the famed Cowboy Palace.Through every chapter of his career, songwriting remained a constant. Now, Tales From The Cowboy Palace serves as the culmination of a lifetime of experiences, offering listeners an authentic collection of songs centered around perseverance, freedom, fatherhood, motorcycles, hard work, and redemption. Backed by his band, The Hollywood Hillbillies, Johnson delivers a modern Country project enriched by decades of musical influences and real-world experiences.Lead single "Better Days Ahead" stands as a heartfelt anthem for dreamers, workers, and anyone pushing forward through adversity."It's about working my ass off when I had nothing," Johnson says.

With Brandon's upcoming solo album Thrasher just around the corner, Derek and Jimmy break down the newly released trailer, discuss its striking imagery, and explain why this project already feels different from anything Brandon has released before.

Democrats are going after Ken Paxton for spending July 4th in England, and you need to see what James Talarico actually posted before the media spins it. In the Texas Senate race, Talarico called out Paxton for being in London during the 250th anniversary of American independence. He posted a video of Paxton there and claimed it was the last place any patriotic Texan should be that weekend. Talarico stayed in Texas and posed with Willie Nelson instead. While regular Americans were focused on family, barbecues, and making ends meet, political elites turned a personal trip into campaign ammo. The irony of attacking someone for being in the U.K. right after celebrating independence from Britain hasn't gone unnoticed. Pat also covered: Graham Platner drops out of the Maine race.

Willie may have had three divorces and some side romps along the way, but we have yet to encounter a subject who is so at peace with the Trash Candy he's bequeathed to the world, nor as generous to those he may have hurt along the way.

Tomorrow isn't a guarantee; it's a promise we keep to one another. In times when the airwaves and headlines feel crowded with division, hatred, and the loud noise of demagoguery, all in reaction to barbarous and vile language from the highest quarters, the antidote has always been found in the music. This week on Deeper Roots, we are celebrating the nation's 250th anniversary by stepping directly into the storm with a playlist designed to uplift, fortify, and remind us of what's worth fighting for.  Count on sounds from Gillian Welch, Willie Nelson, Sam Cooke, Chet Baker and a few dozen more as we dive deep into a century of American music, bringing you powerful songs of the spirit from the gospel canon alongside timeless anthems of resistance that call on us to rise above the attacks on our shared democracy. This isn't just a look back at history—it's a toolkit for the present.

This week on The Scott Jennings Show, we're celebrating America's 250th birthday in style, and we're kicking it off with a bang! On this episode, Jennifer Horn guest hosts and she brings us up to speed on the headlines we need to know. First, Kurt Schlichter joins Jen and he shares his thoughts on the Birthright Citizenship case and explains why this is a crucial step towards securing our borders. Jen also discusses the upcoming midterms and how the socialist takeover of the Democrat Party is going to affect the elections. Plus, Jen is joined by Willie Nelson, who shares his experience touring the USS Arlington and talking to military personnel about what America's 250th birthday means to them. And, of course, we're discussing the latest news on the Empire State Building stunt and the couple who climbed to the top to propose. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The New Orleans band Tank and the Bangas have been public radio favorites since they won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest in 2017.

The Grammy-winning band has some new songs to play for us from their latest album, The Last Balloon. After that, we welcome Rodney Crowell into our studio, who helped create the genre known as alternative country. He's written #1 hits for himself and artists like Bob Seger and Waylon Jennings, as well as collaborating with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow and, most notably, Emmylou Harris. He joins us to tell some tales and give us a taste of his 2025 album, Airline Highway.  Setlist:  1. Tank and the Bangas - "Move"  2. Tank and the Bangas - "No Invite"   3. Rodney Crowell - "Rainy Days in California"   4. Rodney Crowell - "21 Song Salute"   5. Rodney Crowell - "Taking Flight" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Greetings, Lowdowners—Deanna here!Last week we gave you the pesticide hearing story — Willie Nelson, Barbara Jordan, and a fight Hightower and his team won by building a movement before he ever needed the movie stars. This week, we're going back further. All the way back to where the whole populist tradition in this country actually started.Here's Hightower telling it: in the 1870s, four farmers in Lampasas, Texas, were getting squeezed out of existence. Railroads gouging them on getting crops to market. Bankers gouging them on their mortgages. So they did the only thing they could — they sat down around a kitchen table and started talking about it.That conversation didn't stay in Lampasas. It spread to neighboring counties, then across Texas, then into 43 states. It elected U.S. senators and members of Congress. It built cooperative banks and grain storage so farmers didn't have to sell at the bottom of the market just to survive. Historians call it the Populist Movement. Hightower calls it people figuring out they had to organize or get run over.We're telling you this story right now for a reason. Tonight, Hightower's on the main stage at the Texas Democratic Convention, introducing a candidate he's worked with for years: Clayton Tucker, who's running for the same office Hightower once held — Texas Agriculture Commissioner.Clayton's from Lampasas.No one planned that. Texas just keeps producing people who grow up with that kitchen table in their blood and decide to do something about the Powers That Be. Clayton's campaign is built around the same basic fight those four farmers were having: rural Texans getting run over by power they have no say in. Corporate data centers draining water and electricity from small towns that never got a say. Federal regulators sitting on tools Texas ranchers need right now to fight the New World Screwworm, leaving the state to fight it understaffed and underequipped while the threat spreads. Different villains, same basic math — somebody with more power than you, making decisions about your land and your livelihood from somewhere else.Almost a hundred and fifty years on, same county, new fights, same fight.This is the kind of connection-the-dots storytelling our paid subscribers get from us regularly — the history that explains the present, not just the outrage of the week. If you've been thinking about upgrading, this is a good week for it.Thanks for being in the fight with us, as always!Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Greetings, Lowdowners—Deanna here!This summer, we're doing something a little different. Over the next few weeks, we're opening the gates a bit — giving free subscribers a taste of some of the exclusive stories, video, and behind-the-scenes Hightower that paid subscribers get regularly. If you've been on the fence about upgrading, consider this your invitation to see what you've been missing.To kick things off, I spent a day with Hightower in Austin last month, beer in hand at ABGB, talking with him about fifty-plus years of fighting the b******s. We've got a summer's worth of material to share with you, and I wanted to kick things off with the one that shows what organizing really looks like. Here's the setup: Hightower's Agriculture Commissioner, and he's just put forward the most progressive pesticide regulation in the country. The pesticide lobby is furious. So they get the governor to introduce legislation to gut his authority and make his office appointed instead of elected. Standard playbook—except for what happened next.The hearing room they'd booked was tiny. They had to move it to the House Chamber because Hightower's first witness was Willie Nelson. His second was Barbara Jordan. His third was the chairwoman of the Dallas Republican Women's Organization, who didn't love the idea of pesticides in her kids' food either.Not one committee member would make the motion to pass the bills. They lost without a vote.Here's the part I actually wanted to talk to him about, though: the celebrities weren't the strategy. They were the payoff. Hightower's team spent six months before that hearing building an actual coalition—farmers, farmworkers, consumers, local press. Willie and Barbara Jordan showed up because there was already a movement there to show up for. “They are the punctuation point of a movement that has already been built and is moving,” he told me. “Their presence encourages the movement,” but it doesn't replace it.It's a lesson that's aged exactly zero days in forty years: you don't win by getting a famous person to show up at your rally. You win by doing the unglamorous work first, and then the famous person shows up because there's something worth showing up for.It's your support that enables us to keep bringing the outside in, to keep sharing the ways we can fight together and have fun together. We know times are tighter than ever, and it makes your support mean even more to us. Thank you! Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

This week Baxie talks with legendary bass player Tony Marsico! Tony was not only the bass player for The Plugz--one of the first predominantly Latino punk bands. The were also the band that scored the 1984 film “Repo Man”. After The Plugz the band rebranded themselves as the The Cruzados. The Cruzados were quickly signed by Clive Davis from Arista records and released two outstanding records until breaking up in 1987. But Tony hardly stopped there. Since the band's original break up Tony became one of the most in-demand session players in America. His list of credits includes the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Roger Daltry, Marianne Faithful, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, the Divinyls, Juliana Hatfield, Matthew Sweet, and many more. He also found time to release 25 solo albums, act in several feature films, write four books, and revive the Cruzados in 2021. Tony talks about all of that—and a whole lot more! Just amazing!

Today's episode starts with one of the biggest cliffhangers in recent Rizzuto Show history: Riz finally gets the results from his sleep study. Will he officially become a CPAP guy? Is he about to start "microdosing life support" every night? Or will doctors somehow discover an entirely new category of terrible sleep? The crew weighs in with equal parts concern, medical expertise they definitely don't have, and relentless roasting.Things somehow spiral into a discussion about waking up twenty times a night, cortisol overload, testosterone levels, hormone therapy, NAD shots, and the possibility that everyone on the show is slowly becoming a science experiment. Basically, if you've ever hit your 40s and wondered what happened, this conversation is for you.Then it's on to movie theater controversy as Alamo Drafthouse sparks outrage by replacing their old-school paper ordering system with QR code phone ordering. The crew debates whether phones belong anywhere near a movie screen, whether glowing screens ruin the experience, and if Elijah Wood might be the most passionate movie theater defender on Earth.Meanwhile, Riz and his wife are considering a rare date night at the movies, leading to a surprisingly intense discussion about movie choices, theater etiquette, and whether anyone should ever be playing a game on their phone during a film.In Crap On Celebrities, the gang dives into music festival drama as performers start dropping out of the America 250 celebration while Vanilla Ice somehow remains standing. There's also talk about Riot Fest's loaded lineup, Tom Morello's latest festival announcement, Violet Grohl's debut album, Willie Nelson making chart history, and upcoming movies that might actually be worth leaving the house for.The entertainment world doesn't escape unscathed either. The crew discusses Brad Pitt family drama, Nicolas Cage changing his name to avoid riding the Coppola family coattails, Toy Story 5 preparing to emotionally destroy an entire generation again, and the strange reality that kids today would rather stare at a tablet than play with actual toys.Then comes one of the day's biggest debates: the Mount Rushmore of arena rock. Queen, Journey, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, and more all enter the argument as the crew tries to determine which bands truly deserve arena rock immortality.Add in celebrity birthdays, bizarre movie facts, festival announcements, old concert memories, and enough sarcasm to power a small city, and you've got another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with ridiculous conversations, pop culture commentary, music news, and the kind of friendship that only comes from years of roasting each other on the radio, this episode delivers.The Rizzuto Show remains the daily comedy show where sleep studies become comedy material, movie theater policies become national debates, and arena rock rankings become blood feuds.Thanks for making us part of your daily comedy show routine.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rizz is having an existential crisis after discovering his son's feet are officially bigger than his. The gang dives headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster of watching kids grow up, the weird realization that childhood doesn't last forever, and why parents secretly measure their self-worth against shoe sizes.A family in California is desperately searching for answers after a delivery driver allegedly walked off with their cat. Yes, their actual cat. Not a package. Not a box. The cat. The crew debates whether the world's chillest feline was simply too trusting and whether every pet owner should now be suspicious of compliments from delivery drivers.Then there's the woman who somehow handed over her debit card and nearly ten thousand dollars in cash after falling for an unbelievable rideshare scam. The gang attempts to understand how these scams work while also wondering how many red flags a person can ignore before reality taps them on the shoulder.Meanwhile, an airline passenger claims a cup of coffee caused life-changing injuries in the absolute worst place imaginable. What follows is an in-depth discussion on airplane coffee, turbulence, questionable beverage decisions, and why nobody wants to gamble with hot liquids at 35,000 feet.The conversation takes another turn when Rizz discovers a tick between his toes and immediately starts worrying about Alpha-Gal Syndrome. Because apparently adulthood is just a series of increasingly specific fears.As if that wasn't enough, the crew uncovers one of the strangest side hustles on the internet: cosplay models selling "foot juice" to convention attendees. Yes, exactly what it sounds like. No, nobody is proud of humanity after hearing this story.Rizz finally gets the results from his sleep study. Will he officially become a CPAP guy? Is he about to start "microdosing life support" every night? Or will doctors somehow discover an entirely new category of terrible sleep?

Queen, Journey, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, and more all enter the argument as the crew tries to determine which bands truly deserve arena rock immortality.What began as a normal conversation about wedding presents quickly turned into an absolutely ridiculous debate over what happens when a group of radio personalities starts shopping online with zero adult supervision. One minute we're talking about gift registries. The next minute we're researching blow-up dolls, discussing payment plans, comparing shipping options, and wondering whether a fully wrapped mystery package would instantly become the most talked-about item at the reception.Because apparently that's where our brains go.Would the bride find it funny? Would the groom appreciate the joke? Would security escort us from the venue? These are the important questions tackled by your favorite collection of professional broadcasters pretending to be functioning adults.Then things somehow become even more competitive with a packed edition of The Riz Quiz.Listeners step up to test their knowledge against the clock in a rapid-fire battle featuring geography, sports, movies, history, fast food, random facts, and several questions that instantly made people question everything they thought they knew. There were strong performances, surprise eliminations, and at least one answer that will live in infamy among breakfast cereal enthusiasts.We also discover that some questions are a lot easier when you're listening from your car than when you're the one actually under pressure. As always, confidence levels ranged from "I've got this" to "Why did I call in?" in record time.The result is exactly the kind of chaos you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show: random conversations, questionable logic, competitive trivia, and a group of friends somehow turning ordinary topics into complete nonsense.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Amazon Driver Caught on Camera Taking Family's Cat During a DeliveryWoman loses nearly $10K after giving envelope of money to Uber driver in Lebanon CountyMan Says He Suffered 'Excruciating Pain' and Scarring After 'Boiling' Coffee Spilled on His Lap During FlightCosplay stars caught hawking truly revolting products at California anime festival — and they sold outShrey Parikh bounces back, battles nerves and dominates spell-off to win the National Spelling BeeMan tries to tear down Butler County home with excavator after argumentCrimeMan Back In Trouble Over Crack PunDrunk driver caught with 'homemade cannon' in VernonFlorida Man Allegedly Smashed Store Window With Chainsaw to Steal Pokémon Cards Worth $12,000Man Turns Himself in for Allegedly Vandalizing Restaurant Deck and Then Taking a Nap After Surveillance Photo Goes ViralPennsylvania man cuts pickleball nets at parks after injury ruined his summerBaked dirt accidentally served at Maine high school supperWearing only a watch, a headlamp and flip-flops isn't a great disguise when trashing a neighbor's motion lightTrespasser rescued after getting stuck in smoking chimney, arrested by Everett policeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Rizzuto Show rolls into another beautifully dysfunctional episode packed with celebrity chaos, St. Louis nostalgia, weird history facts, and enough Macho Man Randy Savage impressions to legally qualify as a wrestling convention. This funny podcast somehow begins with the triumphant return of BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups — the iconic St. Louis music venue where apparently the ideal evening consists of listening to blues while aggressively eating soup. Honestly? Sounds incredible.From there, things immediately derail in the most Rizz Show way possible. The crew dives into bizarre “Today in History” moments featuring Amelia Earhart, tornadoes hitting the same town repeatedly, Peter Cetera getting punched for having long hair, and a deeply cursed conversation about Lern's childhood memories involving Chicago songs and her mom's questionable road trip playlist decisions. Somewhere in there, the entire show accidentally becomes a therapy session nobody asked for.The celebrity chaos doesn't stop there. MGK and Yungblud continue their pop-punk feud like two emotionally exhausted raccoons fighting over leftover eyeliner. Travis Barker's documentary gets discussed. Kiefer Sutherland's tour struggles become weirdly emotional. Keanu Reeves' band Dogstar surprisingly earns approval from the crew. And the gang debates whether meeting Willie Nelson or Keanu Reeves would be the superior life experience. That's the kind of impossible philosophical question only this funny podcast is brave enough to tackle.Meanwhile, California wildfires threaten celebrity neighborhoods, South Park prepares for another season of social destruction, and the Masters of the Universe movie sparks heated debate over Jared Leto's Skeletor voice. Moon just wants to feel like a kid again. Rizz refuses to let the Jared Leto conversation become “The Jared Leto Show.” Balance is restored.Then the show takes another hard turn into old Hollywood myths, Wizard of Oz conspiracies, drunk Munchkin stories, Rick & Morty drama, and celebrity birthdays before wrapping everything up with a porno birthday segment that somehow manages to be both horrifying and educational. Sort of.This episode is peak funny podcast energy: sarcastic humor, celebrity nonsense, weird news, nostalgia, music talk, and total emotional whiplash from start to finish.

The Rizzuto Show returns with another completely normal and absolutely stable morning of chaos, confusion, and deeply unnecessary debates. Which means, naturally, things immediately spiral into Roman numeral panic, celebrity rankings, aquarium slander, and a conversation about hot M&M mascots that nobody involved could explain afterward.This episode kicks off with the crew diving into THE BOYS confusion spiral, where Rafe tries to figure out whether the show still makes sense, if the spin-offs matter, and whether TV writers are now legally required to create seventeen timelines for every series. Meanwhile, Riz admits he checked out seasons ago, Moon questions everything, and everyone collectively agrees Homelander might be one of the creepiest TV villains ever created.Then it's time for Match Up With The Morons, where Moon and Learn battle through trivia questions that somehow become emotionally exhausting for everyone listening. The questions seem simple enough at first: first CGI movie, fireworks origins, Roman numerals, pesto ingredients. Easy, right? Wrong. Very wrong.What follows is one of the funniest mental spirals in recent show history as Learn attempts to reason her way through Roman numerals using centuries, millenniums, Charlie XCX, and pure panic. Meanwhile, Moon accidentally reverse-engineers the correct pesto answer while openly admitting he has no idea what herbs are. Honestly? Educational programming at its finest.Elsewhere in the episode, the crew debates whether they're cool now compared to high school, which quickly turns into a surprisingly aggressive discussion about celebrity cool rankings. Samuel L. Jackson gets crowned as one of the coolest humans alive, while Ryan Reynolds catches multiple stray shots for allegedly giving off “annoying rich guy” energy. The gang also debates Matthew McConaughey road trips, Willie Nelson coolness levels, and why some celebrities feel more “beloved” than actually cool.And because this is a daily comedy show built entirely on side quests, the conversation somehow detours into old-school album artwork nostalgia. The crew reminisces about sitting with headphones on, reading CD liner notes like sacred texts, and obsessing over album covers from Guns N' Roses, Green Day, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and more. If you grew up staring at CD booklets instead of doom-scrolling, this segment will punch you directly in the feelings.Then comes one of the biggest comedy moments of the episode: Rafe's brutally honest review of the St. Louis Aquarium experience. What begins as a harmless tourist outing slowly evolves into a full investigative report involving fake train rides narrated by John Goodman, overpriced tickets, underworked fish, overworked otters, terrifying ropes courses, and a family meltdown happening live above Union Station. The otters, according to Rafe, are carrying the entire business on their tiny furry backs.The crew also tackles:The rarest M&M colorWhy pesto sauce feels suspiciously fancyWhether guns and brunch are a real thingWhy ropes courses are secretly psychological warfareThe emotional damage caused by trivia pressureWhy everyone suddenly misses CD bookletsAquarium economics nobody asked forCelebrity weirdness and rich people energySt. Louis chaos as alwaysIf you're looking for a funny podcast full of sarcastic humor, comedy talk, weird stories, celebrity gossip, nostalgic nonsense, and daily comedy chaos, this episode delivers all of it with absolutely zero structure and somehow even less dignity.The Rizzuto Show continues proving every single day that a comedy podcast does not need focus, organization, or basic emotional regulation to be entertaining. Sometimes all you need is a microphone, some trivia questions, and a complete inability to stay on topic.Subscribe for more daily comedy, entertainment gossip, hilarious fails, pop culture commentary, and unfiltered St. Louis morning show nonsense from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Off-duty cop rescues girl trapped inside claw machineWho Americans think is coolSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kacey Musgraves' album Middle of Nowhere finds the country outlaw taking a break from exploring her inner life to look outward, back to her roots: the regional stylings of Texas. She says the album was inspired by a sign in her hometown that read “Golden, TX: Somewhere in the middle of nowhere.” The album's sounds probe this same borderland mentality, encapsulating desert noir, Norteño, tejano, and soft rock. Plus, Willie Nelson. The result is a collection of songs that are funny, moving, and reaching back to the sound Musgraves established in her debut record 13 years ago. But the world of country has changed since then – artists like Ella Langley have taken over the charts, cribbing Musgraves' sound while courting a more conservative audience. Can the genre encompass all these multitudes? Nate and Charlie explore this debate through Middle of Nowhere.
