Content warning: in this episode we discuss some upsetting topics related to Jerry Lee Lewis's personal controversies. Yes, following his recent passing and recent induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, this week we talk Rock 'N Roll's original wild man. Joined by comedian Charlie Vergos (@cvergos, Barbecue Rich), the boys dig into JLL's complicated legacy, his prolific country music career, and his infamously unhinged behavior and lack of self control.

Omah Lay is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer. He’s one of the young stars of Afrobeats, the West African genre that's become a global phenomenon. His new album Boy Alone features a collaboration with Justin Bieber. But for this episode, Omah talked to me about the song “Never Forget.” Boy Alone was Omah’s late father's nickname, and the song “Never Forget” was inspired by him.

This week's episode was just recorded over the weekend at the fantastic Flyover Comedy Festival in St. Louis, Missouri. We were thrilled to welcome our friends Matty Ryan (@heymattyryan), Chris Cyr (@chrisdcyr), and [our first ever return guest] Alex Kumin (@alex.kumin) to the stage at the Improv Shop to discuss gateway country songs and goof around. As a panel we dig into Merle Haggard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Shania Twain, jam bands, and more! Plus panel vs audience country music/comedy trivia!

This week we present the fun and slightly-chaotic live show recorded at The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago in late October 2022. On this episode we chatted with comedians Clark Jones (@clarklarewjones ), Lucia Whalen (@luciawhalen), and Mike O'Keefe (@themikeokeefe) about what they think is the best "gateway" country song. This, of course, turned into a friendly competition, and was followed by some panel vs audience country music trivia.

This episode was guest produced by Jesse Betend (@jessebetend), a talented podcast producer and editor living in Chicago.
