Speaker 5: my backyard. Gentlemen, what do you.

00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 5: Well, it's one of the it's so Chicago Bears to

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,640

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 5: as we make a playoff push.

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: It seems like Indiana is pulling out all the stops here.

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: They've introduced new bills in the legislature. They're trying to

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: allocate some money and some funds. And there's no way though,

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: that Illinois is gonna let them, you know, move Soldier

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: Field into you know, Gary and Hammond.

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Did ets? Oh, Sam, you been to Gary, Indiana lately?

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: What was last time you ventured through that area of

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 5: the living dead. That place is not a place I'm

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 5: going for a football game, for a casino, And whenever

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 5: I have to drive through that place, I am driving

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 5: one hundred miles an hour out of that place, I'm

35
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 5: not going over.

36
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: They may bumper stickers that say that Gary, even Chicago's

37
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: scared of us.

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: And let's saying something.

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: All right, Dan, let's get down to brass tacks here.

40
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: What are we argument about today?

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 5: This one's a pretty good one, and I'm gonna throw

42
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 5: this argument right at you. The greatest country song of

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 5: all time is what, gentlemen?

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: Wow?

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 4: Oh, the greatest country song of all time? All right,

46
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: we'll let everybody think here for just a second. Go

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 4: ahead and go first.

48
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 5: Dan, I feel bad because mine wins. I'm gonna throw

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 5: it down gentlemen, Garth Brooks, Friends in Low Places.

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: Down one of the great sing alongs of all time, Dans.

51
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 5: That's the thing about it. So many people probably don't

52
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 5: even know that it is. Country. Is in every karaoke bar,

53
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 5: It's in every bar that you go to. Everybody seems

54
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 5: to know the words to it. It's timeless. The song

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: is just perfect, chorus is unbeatable, and it celebrates community

56
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 5: over status. So to me, the bottom line, the greatest

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 5: song ever. It's a philosophy. It's friends and Low Places.

58
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, So the bar has been set pretty high here.

59
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 4: Now Alison is out, she is on an extended weekend.

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: The loveliness Kylon is filling in for Alison. So, Kylon,

61
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: this is your chance to jump into the bargaments here.

62
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: Feel free. Now.

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 4: I know there's a little bit of an age difference

64
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: here between us and Kylon, just a little.

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: Just a little. But what is your greatest country song

66
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: of all times? You want me to follow that up?

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, okay, Well, the one that came to mind

68
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 6: for being the greatest country song of all time, I'm

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 6: gonna tell you about it because it's one that can

70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 6: be relatable for everybody someone who's frustrated from hard work

71
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 6: at your job. And honestly, this one was nominated for

72
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 6: Song of the Year, Best Country Song, and Best Country

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 6: Solo Performance and top the charts being number one, even

74
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 6: surpassing All I Want for Christmas Is You.

75
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

76
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 6: Okay, that has some pretty good accolades behind it, and

77
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 6: this one kind of like the IU and Purdue Division

78
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 6: were uniting people from all different sides of life. I

79
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 6: think this one brought a lot of people together. Mine's

80
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 6: gonna be shaboozy bar song, dumb.

81
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: Shots, all right, so I'd really consider that being a

82
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 5: country song, and that isn't jam. I love that song,

83
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: but I didn't really consider it country, So maybe I

84
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 5: didn't even think of that around. Nice work of all.

85
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Of the years that we get to choose from for

86
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: the greatest.

87
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: Country song of all time, Kylin, you pick a song

88
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: from the last five years. That's just giving a middle

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: finger to George Strait, that's giving a middle finger to

90
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: Hank Williams.

91
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 3: Charlie Daniels right, just flipped him right off.

92
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 6: It got so many people in the country bandwagon.

93
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Kyle. Then.

94
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 4: I hate to do this, but I think your band

95
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: from bargainment moving forward.

96
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 6: This argument is supposed to happen in a bar, and

97
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 6: this is a bar song.

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 5: Come on, I love the fat that she threw that

99
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 5: one at you, guys. This is the epitome of a bargument. Gentlemen,

100
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 5: Please show her the ropes.

101
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: I'm giving her the Pete Rose treatment. Your banded for life?

102
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: All right, nuge.

103
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: You know, I started thinking about this last night, and

104
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: I didn't I was gonna be like kind of you know,

105
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: I wanted to take it seriously, but I wanted to

106
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: like be practical. I was going to say something like that,

107
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: you know, Charlie Daniels Devil went down to Georgia or

108
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: something like that. But then that doesn't invoke the kind

109
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: of emotion that Kenny Chesney's I Go Back does for me.

110
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Sing along with Big Nige here, I.

111
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: Mean that from two thousand and four, and that from

112
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: the time I heard that song just made me think of,

113
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: you know, the time of my life I had when

114
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: I was a kid, growing up, teenager, early twenties. I

115
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: go back to a two tone, short bed, shabby, driving

116
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: my first love out to the levee hammer, living life

117
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: with no sense of time, and I go back to

118
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: the feel of a fifty yard line, okay, And so

119
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: like I enjoy reminiscing, I enjoyed looking back.

120
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: Because you're having a midlife crisis.

121
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 3: Fifty is that's creeping up on me here path. So

122
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 3: that song never gets old for me, and I turn

123
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: it up every time, and there's some emotion there with

124
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: that song.

125
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: All right, by the way, thank you it is. It

126
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: is all right my turn.

127
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 4: So the first thing that popped in my head was

128
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: something that I think would describe myself to the tee,

129
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 4: The Gambler by Andy Rodgers.

130
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: You gotta know when to hold him, know when to

131
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: fold him.

132
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: But then the more I thought about it, you know,

133
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 4: it's kind of a downer song because the Gambler dies

134
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: at the end of it.

135
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: Right.

136
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: So to be the greatest country song of all time,

137
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: it's got to have a pop culture effect. And there

138
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 4: was a time in this country where because of a

139
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: certain movie, everybody wanted to get on a Cbee radio

140
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 4: and talk to their commercial beaver buddies, Kylon Hit My Music,

141
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 4: f the Smokey and the Bandit soundtrack, the late great

142
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: Jerry Reid, We're Going Eastbounded Down Baby.

143
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Oh, this is so good.

144
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 5: You hit the post.

145
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: See we got some head bobbing back here a little bit, Dad,

146
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 4: Come on, get smokey in the bandit. He's like, who

147
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: didn't want to be Reynolds crib that trans am.

148
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: It's strong.

149
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 5: But if you were to go and pull some people,

150
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 5: what is the greatest one? I still think there coming

151
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 5: up really tall with friends of low places.

152
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: That is a strong one. There's no doubt, no doubt.

153
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: Uh, jump in the YouTube chat. Let's see what they've got. Uh,

154
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: we've got some Dolly Parton choices in there.

155
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: Uh.

156
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Kind of hard to go against America's sweetheart Jolene Joonine.

157
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 4: Which I always say, like Dolly came out with that

158
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: song when she was like in her twenties.

159
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, just absolute.
