I send a lot 118 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: of business to people who are not show sponsors. Just 119 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense for us or them for them to 120 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: be a show sponsor.

Is the prettiest song? Which is a song 175 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: he most wished she had written? 176 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: Was which Tall Lineman? There is a raging debate. 177 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: You can find it online if you get into that 178 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: kind of stuff that people get real into that there 179 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: is a raging debate as to whether the song was 180 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: ever completed, That supposedly the song was incomplete at the 181 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: point at which it was recorded. I am mildly obsessed 182 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: with that song and its history and how it took off, 183 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: and where Glenn Campbell was in his career, and you know, 184 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: the whole Glenn Campbell career is an interesting thing because 185 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: he was a session musician with the Wrecking Crew. He's 186 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: technically proficient as a guitarist on a level that almost 187 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: it's one of the top ten guitarists of the era, 188 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: if not of all time. And he was renowned for 189 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: his skills and that and somehow by good looks and 190 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: dating well and being interesting. In pure tenacity, he kind 191 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: of willed himself to be a lead singer. And so 192 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: people love to trash Glenn Campbell because they know I 193 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: love him, and they'll tell me he's an idiot because 194 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: all they know of his work is his lead singer work. 195 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: And I'm embarrassed for him, because as a body of works, 196 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: if you think of all the various things he did 197 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: in his life, it'd be like comparing even like saying 198 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: of Rick Springfield that only the only thing you know 199 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: of him is his is a couple of songs that 200 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: he sang. Anyway, I love that song I would tell 201 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: you the most kind of out of the box version 202 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: of that song I've heard, which he's truer to the 203 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: song than he is most other songs, is Dwight Yoakum's 204 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: version of Wichtag Lineman, and I just heard it about 205 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: a month ago. I spent the weekend creating my list 206 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: of top ten Dwight Yoakam songs, and I remembered that 207 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: Yoakam had done that. Dwight had done Wichty Lineman, and 208 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: I couldn't decide if I liked his version or didn't, 209 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: And I probably listened to it five times to come 210 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: to the conclusion. But anyway, Ray Stevens nice fellow when 211 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: I first DJ, When I first started in DC, I 212 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: was doing my show for a week there at the 213 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: studio and I hired a woman named Scotti no Hughes. 214 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: She ended up working for President Trump in a similar capacity, 215 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: but she was like my pr person. She would make 216 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: introductions for me, and in that first week, she brought 217 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: Ronnie Millsap to the studio and I interviewed him. 218 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: That was twenty nine. 219 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: That's when it happened. She brought Larry Gatlin. She brought 220 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: these different people. Ray Stevens she brought and he wanted 221 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: to know if we'd go to dinner, and we did, 222 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: and I spent I interviewed him from you know, five 223 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: to seven, and I bet we were together till probably midnight. 224 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: He was seventy back then, and that was well over 225 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: ten years ago. And the man owns half of you know, 226 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: you know Radio Row there quarters on, he owns half 227 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: of that. It's incredible how much of Nashville he owns. 228 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: He's a great businessman. 229 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 5: And he bought a bunch of corners all over Nashville. 230 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 5: And now there's thirty story apartment buildings off so. 231 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and he his headquarters there. 232 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: That's got the this's got the silhouette of a had 233 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: the Arab It's stuck. 234 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 2: It's like Johnny Lee's bus. 235 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: It's stuck in nineteen, you know, seventy eight, seventy nine, eighty, 236 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: and it's like a it's like a time war, you know, 237 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: when George Jones pulls over and they said, hello, old timer, 238 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: and what's you know good?

It's if you're driving two nine 275 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: and you pass the two thirty seven cut off and 276 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: you keep going and you come through Carmene, which has 277 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: added a couple of things. 278 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: Now there's j W. 279 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: Steakhouse there, Jeff Wonderwick's Steakhouse, a wonderful little cafe and restaurant, 280 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: and his mom makes the pies and they're fantastic.

There was a 286 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: little road on the right and there was a wind 287 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: sock out front that's been there forever.

And we had an old Ford pickup 339 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 6: truck that my mama would take us to school in 340 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 6: and whenever she turned the corner, the door had come 341 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 6: open on the passenger side, and like you said, she 342 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 6: put that arm over there and one kid and grab 343 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 6: another kid, and we'd all lean toward her so we 344 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 6: wouldn't fall out to pick up. Of course, they were 345 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 6: off on shell roads. You know, if you're going too 346 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 6: fast and go around corner, you might slide on them. 347 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 6: You know, you don't want to slide into a ditch. 348 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 6: And I remember the first time I ever drove a 349 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 6: tractor was when I was five years old and I 350 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 6: was with my daddy and we had cross across the street. 351 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 6: Our cow pasture was on the other side of the street, 352 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 6: and our dairy barn was off the other side of 353 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 6: the street. And twice a day our cow had come 354 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 6: across the road to get melt.

I just wanted 386 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 7: to share a little story I had this week. I do. 387 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 7: I have a small venee machine business, and someone broke 388 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 7: into one of my machines. It was like early Tuesday morning, 389 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 7: like three in the morning, and when I got there 390 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 7: the next day, so I went to file. I wanted 391 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 7: to file a police report, and I called a non 392 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 7: emergency lion. I was on hold for forty five minutes, 393 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 7: and I just gave up and I just hung up. 394 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 7: You know, we always say, you know, he's supposed to 395 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 7: file a report and things, but you know, I tried. 396 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 4: There were probably some. 397 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 7: Finger prison things that they could have collected. But after 398 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 7: the rain and everything, so I'm sure it's all going 399 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 7: now well. 400 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: And that's the frustration, right is you've got to have 401 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: this police report for the purposes of the insurance. And 402 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: people tell me stories of calling in to get an officer, 403 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: and it's going to be ours unless there's an active 404 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: robbery in. 405 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: Progress. 406 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: It's very frustrating, and it is it is failure of 407 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: government at a level that's hard to fathom and it's 408 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: hard to tolerate. 409 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 2: And the problem with this is these are the. 410 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: Sorts of things that cause people to leave the cities, 411 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: and we are seeing a reverse migration. We're seeing the 412 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: reverse of what happened with the Industrial Revolution, when the 413 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: children of farmers had to leave the family farm to 414 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: come into town because that's where industry was and that's 415 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: where the university was, and that's where the jobs were. 416 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: And what you're seeing now, for all the bitching that 417 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: people do about technology, technology freeze a lot of people 418 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: to leave the city. More and more people who are 419 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: very thoughtful about how to do this are figuring out 420 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: ways to work. 421 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 2: Without having to be present. 422 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,959 Speaker 1: I was talking to the woman that cuts my hair 423 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: the other day and she said, you know you go 424 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: to Colorado every year and I said yes. She said, 425 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: I need to figure out something I can do that 426 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: and I said, well, you're in a job where you 427 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: have to be there to cut the person's hair. A 428 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: mechanic has to be there to work on your car. 429 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: But lawyers, well, we just added a concierge, doctor, doctor 430 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: John Conningham, And he said, do you think it's going 431 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: to matter to people that I'm webster? And I said, no, 432 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: I will tell them what I believe to be true. 433 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: Call him on his cell phone. I just gave it 434 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: to you. Go see him, do your two days of testing, 435 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: and then if you never see him again, that's fine too. 436 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: So much of what you can do. I spoke to 437 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: Joe Glotti. He's not a show spawn, but he's friend. 438 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: He's a liver doctor, fantastic liver doctor. And I talked 439 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: to him during COVID. I was just calling around to 440 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: see what was going wrong with people, and he was 441 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: doing telemedicine and I texted him. He said, I'll call 442 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: you five minutes. So I said, what were you doing? 443 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: And he says, I was doing a telemedicine appointment. I said, oh, 444 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: are you in the mediciner and he said, no, I'm 445 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 1: in my living I mean, I'm I'm in my study 446 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: at home and he said, I'm wearing short pants and 447 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: no socks and no shoes and a dress shirt and 448 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: a tie. Because people expect a doctor not to be 449 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: in a T shirt. He said, I'm doing telemedicine from here. 450 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: I can't do a surgery, but I can do a consult. 451 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: I can look at your numbers.
