Yeah, there you're going to try to have nice. He landed it. So I was going to try and be a little more inclusive. You didn't landed it. Hey, man. All you cow full. You know, all you cow patties out there. First of all, okay, so this is, I think we can call it our very first official, uh, episode that is dealing with, uh,

the wide world of country. Dealing with this. I'm funny. That's Travis. projecting a little bit. Yeah. We're handling some country and western. Hard on the western here.

We're like snake handlers. That's right. Oh, hell yeah. We're snake milkers. That sounds dirty. Take that out of the episode. You know what? We don't even need to do intros on ourselves, man.

Yes, come on. Yeah. And I'm stoked, man. So, hey, can I just say this? we've always joked about and dreamed about having Mitch on the pod now that you're a bona fide third member I mean and and the joke was if we're ever going to talk about country on this pod we're going to have to have Mitchell on board it did kind of start as a joke for y'all for sure because it was kind of like that's going to be a side of music that maybe we stay away from even though I knew quentin because we had listened to folk in austin in

early two mid two thousand's that was not country but Americana leaning I'm like quentin likes that shit You know, but I never got, but Travis was going to be the hard sell. So yeah. So yes, I'm glad that it's finally happened, y'all. It's finally happened. Well, let's, let's take a step back to the wayback machine. Let's do it. Just kind of explain, you know, because Travis and I grew up on straight up rock and roll, dude, right?

Our dad played us. I mean, go back and listen to our dad tunes if you want to know what everybody played for us. Right. Our dad tunes episodes that we did like forever ago now. Yeah, I would say kind of more intellectual leaning, certainly. Dyer or straight. Yes, she liked that. Technical guitar. Boston.

Yeah. Not that my dad doesn't like those, but he certainly wasn't buying those. He was, and, you know, this is a peak behind a current, but we're recording on Father's Day weekend. And it's funny that we brought that up because my taste in country and Western is without a doubt formed by my dad's flavor of country and Western that he likes listening to, right? Well, what's interesting is. So, and if this is the first time that you're joining us on No Filler, Mitchell, we all go way back. Travis and I are twin brothers. This is like your first episode.

Maybe we should explain that. Travis and I are twin brothers. Mitchell is our only surviving, not that they're all dead. Mitchell is our childhood friend from high school. Yes, yeah. Mitchell, you never played country for us back then. Oh, no, no. And I was kind of going against the grain of like,

you know, here's some quick. Here's a quick couple heavy shoutouts that if my dad hears this, which I'm sure you will because I'll send the link. Anyways, I wouldn't have played bands like or people like Robert Earl King. or Ray Wiley Hubbard or Terry Allen. But now I would play several songs from those guys for you, and I would think that I could get my hooks in with a band like this to start with.

And that's what I like about these guys is that they have a foot in the past that's not ironic or forced or done just to have any kind of fake cred. It's done out of love for the old music that they kind of emulate, this kind of low desert, high desert, gothic country, noir, horror, surf weird stuff, man, that we'll get into.

They're fucking awesome, dude. Well, if we're getting more of that sneak peek with that intro song. Yeah, dude, that was great. And we had to go in cold. We didn't know an intro song we're going to use. All day, dude. I had watched a... All day.

And the lyrics are like tongue and cheek. You know, he's calling himself coyote. Coyotes just want to have a little fun. But a fun to a coyote is, you know, eating your chicken or your little kitty on the porch, you know, so... Chicken in the cornbread, dude, all day. That's right. Why'd you put your beak in my treat?

and that's what he says. Yeah. Shout out to all the other dads that are listening. Maybe you know what I'm talking about. And that's like, that's like a cornerstone of country and western that I like can be the story song where you have to listen to the words because it's telling a story and you don't want to miss out. Or it's like these funny, cool plays on like something shitty happening to you, you know,

like your old lady leaving and the truck breaking down. Those are the hot. Like getting barbecue stains on your white t-shirt. Oh, dude. When you cut, you cut deep, bro. I'm pretty sure that's Tim McGraw. And holy shit, who would have thought Tim McGraw? We got a shout out on fucking no filler.

Oh, I wasn't shouting him out, dude. I know. I know. I will. God damn it. I mean, yeah, that's almost my go-to for like just sort of making fun of country music lyrics, man. And she's killing me with that minisbury. Let's use it as like a low watermark for like,

where y'all bail on the Western Spray. We all get there. Trust me. Rattlesnake milk sings about shit like murder. Oh, Simon. Hand. Armed robbery, methamphetamine use and distribution.

We just got flagged by the FBI for saying that on the club. All kinds of shit they sing about it. It's amazing. Did we even name the band yet, boys? Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, definitely. Rattlesnake milk, boys.

All right. And it's in the name, right? It's kind of a funny name. You know. Everything about it, man. Yeah, that was a great track. And we're going to go back to Rattlesnake Milk's, not their debut record, but I'm pretty sure their first full-length record, just self-titled rattlesnake milk. And if you look at the cover, if you follow along with this at home and look at the cover, it's just a picture of kind of a hedge row or a dirt road near probably what looks like corn.

And I know it's corn because they did some back, some research on the front, man. Here, I'll run down their names now. It's a project of a guy named Sean Lewis, who goes by Lou. And it's mostly his brainchild and like his three bandmates, Andrew Chavez, who plays a lead guitar, his bassist Eric Pollack and his drummer Corey Chencho Alvarez. And as far as I know, that's still the lineup. So it's four dudes, but really it's this dude Lou. And he was working in a cornfield for family or something to whatever.

And he could only tune into one radio and it kind of played old country and western and when he was out there working, I'm sure it just kind of shaped his mentality and the kind of feeling and this record cover just embraces that. It's just anyways, it's a simple thing, but if you've ever seen it, especially as a Texan, which I know all three of us are, and what these lads are also,

they're from Lubbock, Texas. Let me establish that also. So that's bum fuck nowhere in Texas. They call it the flat land out there. There's kind of a unique brand of country that comes out of that part of Texas compared to other parts, man. So anyways, that's kind of deep. end of country, but we can save all that for hopefully future episodes.

Anyways, that covers incredible. The band name is goofy and tongue and cheek, just like a lot of their stuff, but also hard and tough, right? Rattlesnake milk. Is rattlesnake milk? Is that a term for venom? I never thought of it that way. That's a great connection, Quinn.

I just thought of it as like, it's a non-existent thing because they have eggs, right? They don't feed their young. so it's like a funny thing because it's like an oxymoron in a way but it could be the venom that's probably what it is smart thinking dude i like it oh it's a it's a it's a cannabis strain too oh sure into couch is what as my dad would say or india bag of chips well let's jump right in yeah let's do it boys let's go back to the to the you know to the future here and listen to what's going to be Eloise. All right, here we go.

Did it, boys. Yeah, you did it. You did it. We did it. Welcome. Dude, what a great. I mean, what a great. What a, yeah, guitar did he?

Great band to pick for. Yeah, not hard to sell. Yeah, the guitar, I knew, I knew Traff was going to gravitate to that, no matter what. I'm getting like some, some, did I mention dire straits earlier? It sounds like Mark Knopfler to me and his, his guitar styling. Well, definitely, straight up, dire straits, do you. Yes. Damn, dog, I'm sure that old boy would love that compliment.

But that's very true. Because that's a fucking compliment, dude. Very true. It's that twing. I don't know what it is. Here's, here's, I just made a realization here. I think this is, it's going to knock your socks off. Epiphany time?

I just had an epiphany, yes. Here's why I don't like country music. Most poppy country music. It's all like, okay. Country music is great because it tells stories, right? But like pop country just tells the same. fucking story. I know.

But this is like the actual stories, right? Yes, bro. Yes. Of the type of... Tales of like, of heartache and loss and neglect. And that's what I like about. And selfish behavior and addiction. Yeah.

This is like, this is, you know, stories of like poverty. Yes. As real as that corn row looking picture of that dirt road. Yeah. Yes, exactly. It's based in reality, man. But also just enough of like, I know that dude's self-aware, where, he's telling a story in a moment.

I think there's a narrative to it, not that that really matters. I don't think it's conceptual, although the whole project feels kind of conceptual to me. Like, it's like a thing separate from Lou himself, like he's writing stories. But anyways, that's a different thought. I'm glad that that one stuck. And that one specifically was one I heard later because I was late to, I'd kind of heard him in reverse.

But that song specifically is a great story, man. And it's just sad, but whatever. What a killer track to kick us off here, man. Yes, and the next one's going to sound similar, so I know you already got the hooks in. It's going to be a little more similar, but the content's going to be a little more. I'm glad you brought up that the shitty pop country tropes that everybody is just beating like a dead horse. Because this one has some of those, but it's done in a real way where it's not a trope. It's just like a lived experience or just a beautifully written story.

So this is like the best version of a country pop song. Bro, yes, exactly. It's what should be popular on the radio, but it's not getting played. Okay, I was going to say like what's pop about this because when I think of country pop right now, I have no choice but to think of fucking jelly roll. Oh, awful shit like that. Yes, just got awful shit. Yeah, somehow I think one of Ronan's grandparents, he's got quite a few of them played him. It was like, I think it's on like the sonic soundtrack.

Oh, good. Dude. It is the most generic. I think it's called run it. Oh, God. The pun. Ronan loves it. And fucking, for the love of God, kill me.

Hey, well, you know what? He's found his market old jelly roll, you know, people whose brains are still. Dude. Can I just, I'm just going to, I just want to read lyrics real quick here. If you don't know what we're talking about when we're saying, when I'm saying, pop country. Okay, here's the lyrics I'm thinking of. And this is, Mitchell, just stop me when you've heard these before in other country songs, okay? where is it where is it oh here we go give me them stars

oh you can go ahead stop that four give me them stars out four-wheel drive taking that back road four-wheel driving stop there you go check back road check do a little two-step docee there turn it up loud bring in that crap did he say dose he take it up high then drop it low it's like the guy wrote it with AI but he didn't

it's like how is AI better than you dude to me it's like stomp clap hey uh huh Travis, we talked about that. Oh, yeah. The millennial whoop? Yeah. It's like a parody of itself.

Anyways, dude. Kind of a tangent, but yeah, that's the pop country that, like, kept me and Travis at bay. Yeah. All right. Speaking of Cowboys, this next track is called Dave Dudley. And I've been mispronouncing it my whole fucking life that since I'd have been listening this for years. What you think is pronounced?

Dale Dudley, for some reason, I was reading it wrong, man. Dale Dudley's like a radio host in Austin. So I was like, man, they gave that to you a shout out. Dave Dudley is an old country artist. At first I thought you were somehow mispronouncing Dudley. I'm like, how the fuck else are you going to pronounce Dudley? Yeah, Dudley. This one's called Dave Doodley.

Yeah, so this is a good one. It's called Dave Dudley. I think that's a straight up shoutout to an old country artist called Dave Dudley, who had a big hit about driving a semi. And that's what this song's about, bro. We're going to hit those country archetypes. Yeah, that four-wheel drive, dude. You're going to hear that. I'm excited, man.

Let's hear how it should be done. Yeah. All right, here we go. Dave Dudley. slogan on the back in I be two I'm a good I know exactly why you prefaced it with all that

because like yeah it does it does the you know it does the the tropes that I that I make fun of like cold beer yeah I'm kind of glad I read those jelly roll lyrics dude I was kind of joking but

No I'm glad you did too Quinn yes you need to look it in the face right I think they're I think they're doing that the trobes almost like tongue and cheek almost maybe yes yeah but not you know what I mean like so yes but not it's not a parody or

uh or like an ironic dig at it. It's just like a, it's his interpretation of this kind of Western surf rock, dark, like a story about blah, blah, blah, blah. It's just about homies though, dude. I mean, how many guys, I've known so many guys in my life. The line 12 cold beers, but no refrigerator gets me, bro. That means that he's going to drink his beers quick because they're only cold right now. And like he's got him in the cab with him, you know, like he's got drinking while they're cold.

And or because he's got no refrigerator. So he's going to get him in them quick. shit like that like that inferred like the innuendo of a lot of the shit is so so relatable for me and just things i've done in my own life dudes have been around other songs i've heard it's just fucking awesome dude i'm in that cab with them i would listen to a whole song of him just doing that like kind of like crud and howling thing yes that's fucking growing the background is awesome i love it dude yeah yes he has that tone dialed in and it gets me hype dude yeah man he's yeah he's not messing around dude i think i might do some ral snake milk next time i'm with a lawn dude this is fucking that's dude

I might even start mowing my own lawn. Well, you know what? Hank Hill will be proud, boys. Treves, did you just say, I might even start mowing my own lawn? Is that what you just said? Because you don't? I don't know. No, I paid for a lawn service since I moved in.

I fucking love it, dude. Come on, man. Hank Hill is not proud of you, Jeff. I was going to say, I take pride in my lawn, dude, and do that shit myself. Yeah. Dude, I lost. Dude, the romance for this, for home ownership ended the first year for me, man. Because we had a massive plumbing.

Bill. I remember that. Pullming. I remember that. Like our drain, our main line completely eroded. So like water was just like going into our foundation. No. And like backing up into the kitchen. So they had the tunnel under our house and replace all the pipes, the main pipe. And then, yeah, that's happened a few times.

Like, so like basically all of our pipes have been replaced underneath our house pretty much at this point. Just about. God damn, dude. But yeah, it's just the, the. And you're taking it out on your lawn. Come on now. Well, yeah, I mean, I'll be honest. You're paying someone to take care of it.

No, no, yeah. I'm not getting out there, dude. No, that's true. You got the Texas seat. Yeah. Yeah. My, dude, my entire lawn is shaded almost 24-7 from all the trees. Quentin, it looks like you live in Indoor.

Like, there's going to be Ewarks swinging out from little treehouse villages and scooping up around and training them in their E-walk ways. Ub-nub or whatever. Ub-nub, dude. Up-nub, shout out. Yeah, Tim McGraw, Ofnob, and fucking jelly roll. That's right back to it. That's the name of the fucking title.

Anyway, dude. I'm disappointed because I had a joke lined up. So let me just pretend like the song just, I just faded the song, okay? Yeah. Do you want me to add an intro? Or is this just for hoots? Yeah, add it in, dude.

And then we can. Because this is about a guy that drove a rig, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like a big semi truck? All right, here we go. Talk about a semi, huh guys? Get it?

Yeah, man. So, yeah, that's, yeah. So pretend like I said that when I don't want to fade. No, I'm going to keep it just like this. Yeah, there you know. Yeah, I'm not telling you like patch it in, you know. I don't know. Can you splice this joke?

No, no, no, no. I didn't want to. Computer, go ahead. Enhanced that image. Thank you, computer. Yeah. Enhanced. Anyway, I'm just saying I.

Do you want me to have a laugh track? Can I add a laugh track? The joke is that I had a simi. That's the joke. A simi tractor trailer in my pants. Yes. But yeah, I like how you get, you keep saying surf rock, right? Yeah.

Surf. Yeah. I heard that like surf. Yeah. It's that's spot on, man. With the tone. Like Dwayne Eddy or something. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's like the classic like surf guitar guy from the 60s. Yeah. Yeah. Who's that? Junior Brown is the famous one from Texas.

Who has the lap steel built into his guitar where you can play lap steel on it too, and I'm Jr. Brown. There's lots of that kind of twang in this, too. Totally. There's, these guys undeniably have the Texas flavor of country and western, right? No doubt. None of that, none of that, bluegrass adjacent, Tennessee or Kentucky type Appalachian stuff.

This is, it's hot and, you know, West Texas, Central Texas, Lubbock, it's windy, it's dusty. There's, you know, I got to drive a rig for my career. Yeah. Tale of a song for like country style in that way. And I mean, they go back to that build a lot. And from what I've read, I was doing some sleuthing on YouTube comments and shit. I guess like all of them kind of linking away or it's like the same story told from different perspectives. Like you'll hear he sings about robbery and stuff.

Maybe it's told from the perspective of the bartender. There's something deeper to it, something conceptual in a way. And I think there's even a song later on that first record that we introed with. I think there's a song in there where somebody gets killed by a trucker. So it's like, is that that trucker? Yeah. What a great idea. Yeah.

It's like lore built into it. Each song be a different perspective. Yeah. In a way. Super cool. And it kind of takes you as the songwriter. It gives you kind of agency to be like, well, that's their story. It's not a heartfelt ballad for me about how I feel.

I can relate to it a lot, no doubt. This next song we're playing called Cowboy Killer. He's my favorite track on the record. And I certainly relate to this one. Let's do it. Let's just jump right into it. Here we go. Yeah, so way cool, right?

Just ooze is cool. Yeah, yes. Ouse is like cool and sexy and... Yes, dangerous. It uses like a, like a, like the division I get my mind is like a roadside, you know, like, I don't know, truck stop. Truck stop. Or motel, motel, cafe, something like that, just on the side of the road, diner. Yes.

You know, and you roll up and greasy spoon. Yeah, dude, anywhere. And anywhere in Texas or, you know, he sings a lot about New York. Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana. Other states, too, get shoutouts. But yeah, bro, it's a vibe. I'm just suddenly getting their urge to eat some fucking barbecue, man. These guys make you no doubt, dude.

They make you want to drink. I'm getting a hankering for some waffle house, dude. Dude, hell hell of that appears. That sucks. That sucks. I'm sorry to tell you, but you don't want to go to Waffle House anymore. What? Dude, I've been to the one near me, and it's been pretty freaking good.

Maybe go during the day, but if you go out of night. Blasomy. Were you going to get in a fight? You're worried about getting a fight? I mean, I know that's like the, that's like the running joke. All right, if you want to just, you know, maybe just for like the people watching of it all. Yeah, maybe. Oh, no doubt.

24-7. That's the thing. But yeah. Scattered covered and chunk, dude. Yes, bro. I got some hash browns all the way. Scattered covered cap, chunk, top, bipped, bopped, and flipped on. Yeah.

Anyway, man. This is great. Yeah. Okay. So that's a good. Like I said, that was a good spot to pause out. And then to let it, it's going to go into kind of a ripping guitar solo that will be, basically the last.

part of this song we'll hear we'll have a closing song we can listen to but uh ready to get ripped yeah and and i'm telling you just like just like the podcast says the record is no filler boys i mean these are the highlights for me some of the lyrical play some of the guitar stuff is the highlights for me but some of the other stuff are slower like the song highway blues is real slow the song blood is creepy as fuck like you'll we're missing a lot of the gothic uh pulpy noir vibes that these guys put out and we're getting kind of more of the surf stuff that i like but they're fucking sick dude so yeah let's finish that song at Killers.

Stick a fork in me and did. They're fucking sick, man. Yeah. Talk about some twists and turns, man. Yeah. What a, what a awesome. Yeah. No, I can see how that's your, that's your favorite song, no doubt, man.

But yeah, I mean, I called it on the chat. Like, there was a whammy bar that showed up. I definitely heard a whammy bar. Yep. I've seen a live recording of them playing in, like, a Texas Tech out in Lubbock, and the guitar player was playing with a lot of pedals. effects. What kind of guitar is he playing? Not sure.

Dude, I'm going to guess. Fender Telecaster, those, I know that's super popular in that style. But the guys are also, like, formative in a record label called The Feels So Good out of Austin that is like, man, they've been setting style with, like, hipster fashion and cool shit and music for, like, the last five to eight years. So I think that they might even play, like, like, Dan Electros and, like, shitty pawn-shop shit that he's put together, you know what I mean? Yes.

And, like, running it through, like, old amplifiers that give him a sound that... Yeah, I think you're right. I think it's a Den Electro. I'm looking at a picture. Dude, they are cool as fuck. It's all young men that, I mean, they have backgrounds in different music. I heard him reference, like, in an interview thrash and punk and other shit. And they play this version of this West Texas, I don't know what to...

It's like dark country. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, when you listen more of the lyrics and y'all get into some of the slower stuff, yeah. Yeah, it's so, yeah, bro. Well, let me ask you this, Mitch. And when we're in our, you know, text messages, I guess last week, you refer to them as neo-country darlings. You said the word darlings.

Yeah, because they're popular. They're like getting super popular. Yes. They have been in Austin and San Antonio for a while, but they're getting bigger and bigger. They're touring with a guy named Charlie Crockett, who is a huge country and Western star. And he deserves that too. He's not corny. They're opening for him at like Red Rocks, I think, this summer.

Nice, dude. Yeah. They're just coming up. Yeah. Yes. Okay. They're cool as fuck, dude. And they're young dudes.

And it's like this perfect blend of like you could hear it at a honky talk, but you could also hear it at a rock venue or at a psychedelic club. I mean, there are just a few steps away from being psychedelic dude on some of the jamouts and some of the stuff, the meandering traps. I mean, that's what I love the most about them is that they're young. And we've been talking about this for other, with other genres for years now on the pot, dude. Like, it's cool with the younger. Just fucking say it, man. We're getting old. The younger generations, dude, they're taking, they're doing really cool stuff.

They're doing it with grunge. They're doing it with shoegays. They're doing it with country. It's fucking cool, man. It's cool to see how it all filtered through this guy's perspective and outside of Lubbock. Yeah. This dude, Lou, and it filtered through him and his bandmates and how this is the product. And I tell any boys, this is fought on pure rattlesnake milk out of Texas.

Like, it is legit country, not lived experiences, but almost because of the way it's and it feels like that, dude. It really does. And, man, it's going to make me, I mean, I didn't want to go full deep end with anything on the first episode. I wanted to keep it kind of relatable in a lot of ways. And I think these guys, yeah. Perfect pick, man.

Good. Go back and just put it on this record and then cue up the second one because they only have two out. And he has a first, an EP, I believe, that was just him playing some stuff. That's way more crude, but it's also worth listening to, way more garagie sounding this one right there. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's like, we're looking at their very first record, I think, technically. And we're looking at an image of a, yeah, the Pentecostal snake preacher in East Texas or maybe somewhere in West Texas where it glues from. That's great.

All that kind of underbelly that I know y'all know about the Texas has its own flavor of. Well, that's part of the Kingsalian lore, right? Yeah, exactly. That's kind of a horror, right? Yes. Oh, dude, look at that, Travis. Absolutely, dude. Are you kidding?

I'm supposed to leave that feeling the love of God and, like, being a good person after that. Are you fucking kid? I'm just a scared kid. Is that blood stains on the ceiling? But it's also fascinating in a lot of ways, like that that man feels an eat, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. It's wild. Yeah, it's wild behavior.

Fascinating, yeah. Yeah. And rattlesnake milk seems about some wild behavior, bro. That is the way to describe it. Wild behavior. I get to moonlight with them, you know. It's talking about robin liquor stores and driving big rigs and chugging beer. Like, it's all these, it's like all these cowboy tropes of yesterday year, you know,

where the more recent cowboy tropes of that, you know, that I want to participate in, but never would because they're so bad, you know, I'm not going to rob a liquor store. Straight up good old boys. But do I have that in me? I think I'm like, enough to listen to it and be like, fuck yeah, dude. This is the song you put on as you're in the getaway car, like, you know, hauling ass down the road. 22 pistol hiding in the dash.

Yeah. It's just greasy shit like that. Yeah, like you said, yeah. That was the perfect way to describe it. Greasy shit. That's awesome, man. Yeah, good deal. Well, we can go lots of routes from here further down the road, country road,

or even back into whatever the fuck else we want to do, man. Yeah, that's a good point. Where do we go from here? I got another good country in Western Ace band of my sleeve for y'all that I'm just going to keep secret until we need it. You know what would be fun to do? And I don't know, Travis, if we did this as a... I played a song from this band.

I think for our Kings of Leon episode, Trave. Like the first one we did. Lonesome Shack. Yes, Quinn. Yeah, you gave me a shout out on that. I was reminded a little bit of. Lonesome Shack. Lonesome Shack has a more Mississippi blues vibe.

It's blues, but it would be fucking fun to do a fool. I can see, you know, them playing the same bill. Without a doubt. And really shit, he just released a new single. Hello. Lonesome Shack's cool as fun. He's a singular act, I believe, Quinn. I've listened to some of this stuff.

Yes. Really cool. He's up here in Washington, I believe. Which one were you? what are you talking about here? More primitive? Probably more primitive or Cityman. Probably both of those. You could play a little bit of both. Yeah, you could play a little bit of both.

Yeah, I'm excited to see he's been dropping singles, man. I didn't know that. Oh, I remember this, dude. Yeah, I remember this. That's the one I listen to. Yeah. That's the one I listen to. Yeah. I remember. This is a great follow up for sure, man. Yeah, let's do that. Okay. Cool. All right, boys. That was awesome. Let's zip it up and zip it out. Yeah. I knew it would be. I knew it wasn't going to be a hard sell. It really was. And I got another band at my sleeve that I know y'all like. And then after that band, I think I'll crack into like, maybe if I go bluegrass-adjac-ad

adjacent, take the reins on a bluegrass episode or new grass. But we have cracked the lid on country and western on no filler, which is fucking great. Just cracked open a cold one. God damn right. All right. Well, so you said we're going to close that with lovers. Yeah, let's zip it up with lovers. It's a good quiet song.

You know, I think people will like to, and this is a sad one. All right. Kind of regret not playing it because I think y'all would have dug it, Travis, it's more. It's very, very sad, dude. I think your-a-a-a-good country songs are, bro. I think your choices were choices. Yeah, good. They were good.

Well, yeah, let's close up with that. All right. I'm glad we did it, gentlemen. Totally, totally. All right, well, yeah, Mitchell, thank you for bringing these tunes, my friend. And, yeah, we'll be at you in a couple of weeks, I guess, with another what you heard.
