It's great.

There's just a lot. We got this. We got sore losers. You guys check it all out. We're going to start with the clip of Mark from Sawyer Brown. There is no person named Sawyer Brown, by the way. But here's Mark the lead singer. Talking about Some Girls Do and how it led to them playing arena shows.

Some Girls Do in 1992. I mean, you guys have so many massive songs. But again, your music is layered where there is. the rock band but again you can hear that banjo in the background that gives it the texture of oh this is for real well some girls do was recorded three times i first went to muscle shoals and i got an unbelievable recording of it muscle sholes but it was too rock and i knew but but when i wrote some girls do i thought it was the only song that i've ever written that i knew i i had one i thought okay, I've written one.

This is, this is, this could be something. So I go and record it in Muscle Shoals. It's so good. It's like ZZ Top. It's so rock, so good. I come back to Nashville. I play it for Randy. We go in the studio.

We cut it in Nashville. It's so country I want to throw up. So it's a complete opposite. Yeah. I just, I hated it. So I thought, okay, it's, again, it's going to be somewhere in the middle. So my favorite steel player is J.D. Manus, who played on all those like California cool. He's from L.A. We flew J.D. in. in, um, we bring up some of the guys from Mussel Shoals and we bring in some of the Nashville guys.

And we, we recorded again. I play in both records. It was that hybrid. It was a hybrid. Wow. Yeah. And, and, but the song was that important to me. And, and it be, and it is the Mac Daddy. It's the biggest thing. To you, that's the one. Well, they always say, you know, like in your career when things happen and there's a shift. And like I thought, first I thought step that step was it. Well, that was number one. It was back.

Yeah. And then I thought the race is on was it. Then I thought the walk. And the walk was huge. But they say, you'll know when the one comes on. And some girls do change our every. everything. Some girls do took us into arenas. That's what that song did. 1993, thank God for you. What comes to mind? Mac McAnally. Mac and I wrote three or four

songs. He, of course, wrote all these years. But Mac is, Mac kind of, like, he and I became really good friends. The first time I went with the Muscle Shoals, he played on the stuff with us down there in the 80s, became great friends. But he also really, really knows the band. And he came up with that chorus. And it was, you know, and we recorded all this stuff of Mussel Shoals. All of our stuff, the big hits were in Shoals. Mack and I put a studio in his old house down there, and we would go down there and camp out and make our record.

This is the Coral Reefer? Yeah. Mac McAnally? Yeah. So cool. When you get sick, did your voice get deeper? It does. Like pop thing?

Yeah, Mariah, like, ah, things like crack. I'm like, boom, things are exploding. I would feel, though, because if I'm, you know, doing stand-up or anything, and my voice gets much deeper, if yours gets a lot deeper, can you still sing in the same key? Yeah, yeah, I can. That would be a benefit of having a deep voice. I have to get a, like, Mac and I did something at the Hall of Fame last Saturday,

and I had to get up, and it was going to be like at noon, So I had to get up at like 7 o'clock in the morning and start singing and try to, you know, get the cobwebs off of it. That's me every morning. Like 3 o'clock. Cast a row fool for your soul, man. Life ain't always pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful. Laugh a little more fan. Tighten up your core thing.

Said E.K. You're kicking it with four things. With Amy Brown. Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown, and here's what we talked about this week on my podcast. I want to talk about change the narrative and the movement behind that. It was born out of a really dark time in college football. I had just moved to Nashville, and I was doing shows at the Batman building, at the serious studios. And I remember doing shows, and I would prep because I was a woman in a man's world.

And so I would prep before any show two, three hours beforehand. You know, I was reading, prepping, pulling stats, all of those things. Because if I made a mistake, it wasn't as easily forgivable as it was a man. Just that's what it is in certain roles in sports. A lot of people don't believe that women, you know, in sports talk radio need to necessarily be in that role. And so that summer was really dark. There was domestic violence, sexual violence, coaches getting in trouble. It was left and right, negative, negative, negative news.

and I was just audacious enough, Amy, to believe that I could affect change. And so I came up with this curriculum, and I kind of laugh and tell people this, like, it wasn't a curriculum. It was a two-page Google Doc. Like, don't curse the days of small beginnings. People are like, oh, well, I'm not ready yet. I don't have the thing. I'm not prepared.

I'm not educated enough. No, just start. Just start. Just start. It was a two-page freaking Google Doc about what sets your soul on fire. and if you think you were only born for sports, what a shame that was. And my own experience of domestic violence.

And that's all it was. And I thought I was going to take it into high schools. And a friend of mine who was Nick Sabin's right hand man. He was like his headman, psychologist for 23 years. He was also a friend of mine. And he said, oh, by the way, Jimbo Fisher wants you in an FSU to do this talk. And I'm like, what? What?

And I remember being with my mom and stepdad out in Jackson Holm. We were jumping up and down and screaming. We were so excited because I had never put two into together, even though as a college football reporter, that I would take this talk, this, it wasn't even a movement then, into colleges. But that's what I did in August of 2016. And I talked about purpose, passion platform, mine experience of domestic violence, and then what makes your heartbeat faster outside of sports. And then I say I blinked, but there was so much more to that. But in seven years, I've now worked with 80 colleges, many of them multiple times. I work with both kings and queens.

I think that there's a king or queen inside of every single one of us. I also now talk about mental health. What happened to me on my dark night of the soul. I talk about joy, interpersonal relationships, finding what sets your soul on fire. And now it's spread out to corporations, halfway houses. I've been into maximum security prisons, corporations, the NFL, law enforcement, high schools, K through five, wherever they will have me.

I will go. Wow, and it started with that two-page Google Doc. Yes, yes. It's changing the narrative. I'm changing the narrative.org. I'm. Yeah. I made it declarative because there was like a lot of changing the narratives.

And I was like, okay, wait, let's step. I'm changing the narrative. I'm going to change my narrative, you know. Yeah. So even when you're typing it in, it's one of those subconscious things too that's happening. Yeah. Every time you type in, I'm changing the narrative. On anything.

On generational curses that have, you know, mess with your family for 10 generations back. You know, I teach people this too. a lot of times we're talking about the things that we don't want to repeat generationally. But there are also wonderful things conversely that your grandma's grandma's grandma's grandma had that you have that have been passed down to you. And there are things as much that I don't want to repeat, but there are things that I want to keep going and I want to pass down to my kids, right, that were beautiful. And I also think about, too, a lot what my grandma's grandma's grandma's grandma either

wasn't allowed to accomplish or the dreams that she never, got to accomplish the things that never came to pass. And so every time I do something new or I hit a goal or I achieve something, I think about all my ancestors all these generations ago and what they wanted to do. And then I'm an extension of them and in some way helping them rest peacefully, if you will. Oh, I love that. Yeah. And I'm sure with all those, I mean, I'm going to keep my tissue up here. Those athletes, gosh, I mean, I can't imagine thinking. Like if you're just gifted superstar at something and then having the narrative in your mind that that's all your worse. Yeah. And how many times I encountered them. I remember I was at Tennessee speaking years ago.

And so I stay afterwards. So I'll stay an hour, two hours, three hours. I'll stay in the building until every last one wants to talk to me. I even started doing something during the pandemic where I gave up my phone number and no one has ever abused it. But I knew during the pandemic I didn't want people to have to go through social media to get me because I have had middle of the night suicide phone calls and they're all alive. We got them help. We got them immediate help and then we got long-term care for them. But I had a player stand in front of me and I told him that. I said, baby, if you think you were only born to play football, what a shame that is. And he's like tall, you know, and I'm built close to the ground. You could see the tears right on the edge of his eyes. And he said,

Miss Rachel, where I come from, I was taught I'm only as good as how well I can throw a football or catch a football. That's my whole word. And I said, baby, I said, and I put my hand on his chest. And I was like, you are worth so much more. All of a sudden, those tears come over his eyes. And then I'm crying and he's crying. And it was like the light bulb, I got to help the light bulb go off in his soul that he was worth more than his physical athletic gifts. And I feel like I'm a a gillionaire, you know, because the work that I get to do, I say people are my currency, therefore I'm a billionaire. Like, I get to do this every day. And the work that I do all these colleges, I don't speak and leave. I create relationships. So one of the most beautiful pictures

from my wedding is one of my kings, getting my husband ready for our wedding, like was at our wedding. I've been to my kings and queens weddings. I've seen babies be born. I've gotten birth announcements and wedding. And Ms. Rachel, how are you? Meet my mom. I have moms of athletes I spoke to serving my movement. Like that's, they were like, we heard. We heard what you did. I had a mother call me one time and she said, I've been asking my son to get therapy for years.

She said, I heard you spoke to his team last night. Whatever you said, he walked down the hallway the next day and checked himself into therapy. I was like, oh my gosh, I said, it takes a village, you know. I said to that mom, it takes a village. And sometimes it just takes someone outside of your parents telling you something that reinforces everything that your parents told. you and you go get help.

A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So, if you've ever supported me, or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be.

Listen to the Clivert Show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and a TikTok podcast network on TikTok. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts, too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about

creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcasts presents Soccer Moms. So I'm Leanne. Yeah. This is my best friend Janet.

I love this team. And I'm really. trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's do it live. We are the one, two, three, so losers. What up, everybody?

And yes, sadly, I will die of a heart attack when I'm 72 years old. Here's a clip from the last podcast. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold a home. Oh, my damn it! What?

You idiot. What? They found him, I think. they found him that's great dude that's great for the family don't be mad breaking crews are working to remove a body

discovered in the Cumberland River this morning I think they found him Cajun Army told their people to stand down Riley Strain has been found bro I just said he would be found in the next couple days and now that's not validated because we're going to post this after it

no no it's okay but you don't need to react in a negative way that they found him Oh, yeah. It's okay that they found them and it's good that they found them. Just so you know. I mean, that's great. Metro Nashville, the body of Riley's train was recovered from the Cumberland River in West Nashville this morning, which is what I predicted, approximately eight miles from downtown.

I said 40, Ashland City. Wow. Eight miles? That's right by your place. It was right next to Bell's Bluff. Dang. That's terrible, man. But you're right, though, for the family.

Yep. Dude, they may have found it at the bluff. Dang. Because that's where that river widens out, and there's also some logs where it can get caught up. Oh, this is where it's found, dude. I don't know where that is. I don't either.

If it's a cliff, that's Bells. No, I'm going to tell you where this is. It's directly across from that golf course I was just telling you about. What golf course were you telling me about? About how you can see the houses on the ridge across the way. Wow. Damn. So it only made it eight miles.

What happened to my theory of it? Well, it got caught up on something. 350 miles. Yeah, your math was a little off, man. Just like your betting algorithms, a little off. Um. Damn. All right.

Well, have a good weekend, guys. And you asked me the team. Did, uh, didn't Kansas cheese win back to back? Yeah. I think Yukon does it And then I'm gonna tell you Yeah

I don't think they're gonna do it I need to pick a winner Damn I gotta do that I almost forgot Dang All right Have a good weekend That's just sad dude

Even though you knew he was Probably dead What the hell Justin said I said Justin texted this morning Today I take hold of the bracket

And I responded You need to take hold Of a golf club He responded You used to golf prior to your... I can't say it. Okay. All right, man.

That's crazy right as we were ending. Yeah. I mean, who's going to be my pick today to win? You know who it is. Who? But I just tell you, Nebraska. Oh, that's a real... I mean...

The new Steph Curry. There are even money. Yeah, yeah. I just need a win like... Hey, why would you not do the one from... Damn! They said he's going to change the game of basketball. Why would you not bet on...

Because I don't give a damn about Dunt. I really don't give it damn about Dunt. It talked about it for 20 minutes. I said, I have to bring it up, but I've got to... I just got to find a winner today, man. I go to the easy round and just take Baylor. I don't know. You've watched them.

They probably played Kansas twice this year. They did. No, I'm just saying. I just got to find somebody that's going to win the game. And if we have any listeners in Oakland and Auburn Hills, Rochester, Michigan, were any of y'all going to tell us about Goldie, the three-point master? No crap. Not one of y'all is going to text us about this kid from Oakland. We just have to find out on TV with everybody else.

Remember, if you live in a city and something's going down, you're the local reporter. you tell us, we break the news, and then it makes mass media. Caroline Hobby, this week on Get Real, I talked to Elisa Vanderheim all about the project she and Kelsey Ballerini recorded with no one knowing rolling up the welcome mat. It went on to become a Grammy nominated album for country album of the year, and we got real. We talk about her journey into music. We talk about how she became a hit songwriter. We cover it all.

We talk about how that album rolling up the welcome mat was crucial. created. Such a great conversation. Check it out right now. Did that used to bum you out? Like when you wouldn't get a song and like, oh. For sure. Actually last year, ironically, was one of the worst creative years of my life. Really? I know that this project came out last year and like everyone was like excited about it. But like in real time, it wasn't, I wasn't like writing good good tongs at all. Why? Why? I don't know. What was going on with you last year? I had a lot of anxiety for some reason. Do you think because you shared so much in this album with Kelsey? I don't know if it was like subconsciously that, but because I wasn't the artist that was like putting myself out there.

So. But you were in a way involved. Yeah. Because it's just you and her the whole thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. You wrote everything and co-produced it. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But yeah, it was just, I'd never experienced that much anxiety before. So it was just weird. I wasn't like, I was very self-doubting. Really? Yeah. I wasn't like excited to write songs that much. It was weird. It was weird year. I'm very glad it's over. What did you, how did you navigate all that anxiety? Like, had you already written the Kelsey album when you had this anxiety? Did it happen after the healthy album? Mm-hmm.

It must be because you- Honestly, it started when it came out. When the album came out, you were filled with anxiety. Because it was such a vulnerable album? Now that you're talking about it, yeah, I think maybe. Because a lot of people in town, like, weren't about it. Really? Yeah.

Like when it first hit? Mm-hmm. What was the vibe? It was just like, it was people were kind of afraid to support it in a way. I get that. I totally can see that because like... Even my own people that I'm close to. because they're like she's divorcing her husband this isn't right right or just like we don't want to like align with one side or the other and like people that were like close to me like did that and I respect that but that like definitely like gave me some anxiety of like am I doing in my the first thing that I've ever produced I'm like getting backlash for in a way like is am I doing the right thing like is this you know what I mean and it's because too also maybe people can villainize someone which I feel like I feel like

though like, and I feel like I saw Kelsey do an interview about this or something or it's like, maybe if she even said I'm entering my villain error or something. I don't know if she said that I'm not quoting, but it's like for the first time, someone like Kelsey, and I'm sure someone like you who's just been a songwriter, you know, assisting people write these great songs, never really like staking a ground in a huge like movement in like expressing someone's deepest, darkest, painful life, divorce, you know? It's like airing all of that. Like you're, the partner for that. Yeah.

You've always just assisted in these other songs that really don't come back to you. Right. And in any other way. It's not risky. Yeah. It's not risky. Yeah. This is risky business.

It was. But I feel though like, and I feel like I'm actually entering this error a little bit in my own life where I have forever wanted everyone to like me. Wanted everyone to think I'm great and lovely and like I'm a giant people pleaser. And like if I do anything to offend anyone, I immediately feel regret and remorse and I'm so sorry and I overtalk it and I'm like, can you still love me somehow? But it's like there comes a point in a time where you make decisions to be open and creatively open and express yourself.

And it's like people may not like it. Yeah. And they may judge you. Right. And part of that is actually liberating though. Right. When you've gone so far into that that it's like, well, yeah. I guess I don't have to worry about everyone liking me anymore.

Thank God. Was that kind of a relief? Yeah. but also anxiety. Chelsea actually had this was very similar to your story. She's always been like a people place here. I feel that in her music too in the past. Even the way she looked,

she's so beautiful and blonde and bubbly and sparkly and, you know, and then all of a sudden she's like hitting us with some depth and some pain and like, I'm going to bury your, I'll be there with you to bury the body. I know that was from the past album or whatever, but like, yeah.

Yeah. I know. It's crazy. It's a lot. It's a lot. But it's awesome to watch. So this was your first album to produce. Deuce.

Well, like an entire project, yeah. And everybody's got an opinion and they're scared of it. They're scared. Yeah. People, I mean, I think people like the music, but then, yeah, there's just a lot of different shades. That's probably why this one means, ultimately maybe means so much to you and a Kelsey. Tell me if I'm wrong, because the fans took this one. Yeah.

It wasn't like the industry was making this happen. Sure. It's like the fans made this happen. So true, yeah. I mean, none of those songs were on the radio. Right. Not a single one. None of these songs have been on the radio.

But this album is blown up and was nominated for an album of the year. It's wild. Because of the fans. Yeah. So what do you learn from? What do you take away from all that? Because, I mean, you got the anxiety, you know. Yeah.

Because it's, that anxiety. Yeah. But what do you take away from this? Like doing a deeply personal album, not trying to please anybody, but get the art out correctly. I think, I mean, that's, I want to do more of it. Really? Yeah.

So now you're like, okay, got through my anxious face. I'm like, got through the anxious part. And now it's like, I mean, what's the point if you're not doing that? I mean, obviously you always want to write something that everyone would like and like feels good and it's just like whatever. But like, that is art. That is music. And we forget about it a lot when we're like forced into this. We're not forced.

We willingly are a part of this. The game. There's a game to play. And everyone wants to make money. Everyone wants the song on the radio, which is fair. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

Got to eat. So when you go rogue, it's a little scary. Yeah. But, I mean, I think it was rare. So I think people, that's why it was shocking. It's because, like, oh, like, I haven't heard that. I haven't heard that before. Bold.

Yeah. Yeah. It's so rare. And honestly, it sets you up as this producer who's, like, someone who will go there. A win is a win. A win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me.

Hey, it's Mike D. And this week, a movie Mike's movie podcast. My wife Kelsey and I shared our favorite female directed films of the 21st century, everything from Barbie to American Psycho. We're celebrating Women's History Month on the podcast and wanted to highlight some of the best

female directors right now. So be sure to check out this in episode to hear the full list, but right now, here's just a little bit of Movie Mike's movie podcast. March is Women's History Month, so for this episode, we are focusing on female directed films of the 21st century. So in the last 24 years. Oh, that's weird that a century already has 24 years in it. Yeah, we're almost a quarter of the way through.

In my head, the 2000s are still like last decade. Oh, in my head, 2007 was like three years ago. For the longest time, I always thought the 90s were just like. 20 years ago, but they're so long ago now. We're both 90s babies and we're both 30 plus now. So yeah, the 90s are 30 years ago. That's why we were focusing here on movies of the last 24 years because to really showcase some of the great female directors who maybe don't get the recognition they

deserve despite making some of the best films in the last. Because they're women. Exactly. Which is weird that I don't really view movies like that. there are just directors I'm attached to, whether they be male or female. If they are just great directors, I'm going to watch their movies. But for some reason, people just have problems with female directors. With females in any industry.

And I think when you have movies directed by females, I feel like you get better stories because they focus more on what I like of the emotional details. They play more into character development more so than male directors. All the things that they tell women make us too soft for most industry. But if you look at this list that I put together here, it's a phenomenal list. Even movies like American Psycho, which you may not think that movie was directed by a female director, one of the best. Like that is an iconic movie, but sometimes I feel like that is a footnote of that because of Christian Bales performance. And because of how iconic that movie has been, we forget about the director of American Psycho.

So that is why I wanted to do this episode as well. But before we get into this entire list, I think we should just go and share our favorite movie directed by a female director, Kelsey, do the honors kicking us off. Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird. Loved Barbie. But it feels too recent, call it my favorite. I was kind of in that same boat of including a Greta Gerwig film because she is a fantastic director and has put out just consistent hits.

I mean, Lady Bird, little women and Barbie have all dominated the box office. I think I went to see Lady Bird by myself at the Alamo Draft House at Lakeland, back when movie pass was still a thing. Oh, the movie pass. I never got into the movie pass because I knew it was going to go. go under it. It was a bad business plan. I mean, it was great for the few months it worked. How long did it work for you? I think six months. I saw a lot of movies I wouldn't have seen.

That's pretty solid. I did not have disposable income as a grad student working at a university and an admin assistant role. The income was low. Yes, I love Timothy Shalamei, Sorcia Ronan together. She was also in, well, another one of Grida Gertig's films in Little Women. And I feel like that is one of the best coming of age movies of the 21st century like that is up there yeah it just was a good relationship movie like all sorts of relationships and also like one that solidified a 24 is like being the go-to art house film studio like that is like one of their pillars of great movies like lady bird that image of her in the cat in the pink cast like that is an iconic image that i feel like

a 24 needs on their mount rushmore of movies kind of kicked him off of like past past six years of being really strong movies that maybe aren't like box office smashes. I mean, Barbie will be her big. Well, yeah, Barbie is the highest grossing female directed movie of all time. Which is incredible. And now that she has made that movie and been so successful at the box office, she is now in a position where she can make any movie that she wants. I feel like are going to come down the pipeline.

So I can't wait to see what she does next because she's going to have the budget. She's also going to be able to work with any actor. Like, she could just pick an actor. Anyone. I mean, the fact that she had Margo Robbie and Ryan Gosling in a movie together is already just monumental. But to think now of all the other people who are going to want to work with her is why I'm so excited. But if you haven't seen Lady Bird, it's a great one to check out from an awesome director who is only going to go on to have an amazing and more amazing career. It's your favorite.

Mine has to be a little movie from 2008 called The Hurt Locker directed by Catherine Bigelow. It's a stressful one. I love stressful movies. And I love, I don't love the traditional war film that's just here is a war going on and here's some characters you're going to follow along with. I like the grittier, more modern day one, which is kind of sad when you think about all the awful things that happened in the 2000s. Like war during that time was awful.

But as a result of it, we had some really great movies that came out of it because of those stories are so powerful, even though they are depicting really awful things. And it's also different for us growing up during that time. Yeah. Of like all the other war movies we would see were from wars that we were not alive during. But that was happening during that time and we were living it and it was so fresh that I feel like that's why those movies had so much more of an impact. So Herd Locker was that first movie I watched and it was just like stunned by that. Jeremy Renner, right?

Yeah, Jeremy Renner. And then Catherine went on to direct Zero Dark 30, which is another amazing film with Jessica Chastain. That one's also hard to watch. I still love Hurt Locker more, but that one is intense on another level. But it's just Catherine's distinct style of war film is what I'm really drawn to. And I feel like a lot of people emulated that taking that same kind of style that she did with the same type of war. So that has always been one of my favorite. And that also came out at a time where I was really focusing more on my love of movies and watching them kind of with more intent when I was like 17 years old.

Oh, this is actually something that's going to be nominated for an Oscar. That's where I kind of started putting those pieces together. And that is a movie that I just will never forget the first time I watched it because of how just wild it is. Hey, thanks for listening to the Sunday sampler.
