This week Danny and Tyler are joined by Ashley Ray (@theashleyray, TV I Say with Ashley Ray podcast, HBO, Adult Swim) to discuss Beyoncé's venture into country music with "Daddy Lessons" from her groundbreaking album Lemonade. They also discuss the impact, power, and badass-ness of Beyoncé teaming up with The Chicks for the incredible "Daddy Lessons" remix.

Ashley—an expert on Beyoncé and Lemonade—breaks down how the album is about many things, including black womanhood, Beyonce’s roots in the South, finding independence, and healing the wounds caused by generational trauma. And "Daddy Lessons," uses country music to not only take on some of these themes, but to take us back in time to Bey's childhood. We also talk about Reba a lot!

Of course you know Beyoncé, but here's some recs from Ashley and your hosts:

• My, Myself, and I
• Daddy
• Love on Top
• Run the World (Girls)
• Party (feat. Andre 3000)
• If I Were A Boy
• HOMECOMING (album)
• 7/11
• Freedom
• Don’t Hurt Yourself
• Single Ladies
• All Night
• Pretty Hurts

This episode was recorded in the days following Danny's 40th birthday celebration, so it only made sense for the boys to discuss one of their favorite kinds of songs: Drinkin' songs! This episode is fun, loose, and it's...had a few, let's be honest.

Kevin Morby is a singer and songwriter based in Kansas City. He’s put out seven albums since 2013, including his most recent one, This is a Photograph, which just came out last week. For this episode, I talked to Kevin about the title track from This is a Photograph. It’s a story about his family, the pandemic, and memories of times that have happened — and times that haven’t happened yet.

This week Danny and Tyler discuss forgotten country superstar Webb Pierce, and his hit version of "In The Jailhouse Now." They're joined by comedian and Webb Pierce fan, Michael Timlin (Work Sucks, I Know! Podcast). Webb Pierce may be a new name to many, but the dude basically owned country music radio in the 50's, so there's a lot of fun stuff to unpack and talk about.

The boys discuss Webb's (in)famous extravagance, faking it 'til you make it, and the illusive origins of "In The Jailhouse Now."

Enjoying the podcast? We're listener supported! Support us on Patreon HERE!

Webb Pierce had almost 100 charted hits, so here's a few songs to recommendations to narrow things down, if you're new to Webb:
A Thousand Miles Ago (not on streaming!)
There Stands The Glass
Walking The Streets
Wondering
You’re Not Mine Anymore
I’m Walking the Dog
Tupelo County Jail
Why Baby Why
I Aint Never
Pearl Beer Advert

Patrons of Take This Pod and Shove It can look forward to a behind-the-scenes episode of bonus material from our nearly 3-hour conversation with Michael Timlin. Become a Patron now to have access to that episode when it drops!

And make sure to check out the podcast Work Sucks, I Know! hosted by Michael Timlin.
