This week we chatted with country artist Dougie Poole (you may remember his song "Vaping on the Job" from our 7th episode!) about his new album, The Rainbow Wheel of Death (available Feb 24th), and also the 90's banger "John Deere Green" by Joe Diffie. We add "John Deere Green" to our public playlist, discuss the connected universe of its songwriter Dennis Linde, and talk about the best dad jokes from Joe Diffie's hit-filled catalog.

Maybe it's because it's the week of Valentine's Day, or maybe it's just because we can't get enough John Prine, but today we add the romantic, silly duet "In Spite of Ourselves," featuring Iris DeMent to our public playlist. We are joined by comedian James Fritz (@FritzIsDead, Still Together comedy album) to discuss John Prine's best songs, all things Kentucky, and if "In Spite of Ourselves" is played at too many weddings.

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.
