wellRED podcast - BUBBA SHOT THE PODCAST: 4 weeks Strait

Episode Date: February 4, 2022

This week begins the monthlong journey into the work of who many consider the King of 90s country - George Strait. For the next four weeks we will go full into George Strait's 90s hits. Today we are covering "Carrying Your Love With Me," a sweet and melodic tune that had mamaw's swooning and 13 yr olds needing space for Jesus at the 8th grade dance. We also introduce a new game for Tushar to play!

And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion. Because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know?

Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better. and it's called Rocket Money. Rocket Money is a personal finance app

that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture,

including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscriptions with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish.

I'll learn Spanish and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one I'd said it before, but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball looking twin. fellas. Yeah. So that was that in response to? What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them.

They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money. Go to RocketMoney.

Bubba shout the podcast and that's right. Welcome to Bubba shot the podcast. First, the facts.

Fact number one, it is February. We have four weeks of Bubba in the month of February and we are doing four weeks straight. We hope you folks listening are George Strait fans, if you are not, but your Bubba fans, you're still going to love it. What we're going to do is we're going to take country music and 90s country music legend George Strait and do four songs in a row for this whole month. What a way to celebrate Black History Month. I was getting ready. Me too. Corey, this was your idea.

I didn't mean to bring up the Black History Park. and then throw to you immediately. The idea of doing four weeks straight, tell us why you want to do that and why people should be excited. Well, here's the deal. George Straight is one of those dudes who, I believe that, you know, obviously on this podcast,

I'd say that 90% of people listening to it are huge country music fans, or at least used to be. But I would say that there's at least 10% of people who just like hearing us talk, you know. And George Strait is one of those people, much like we talked last week with, oh, my God, what song do we do?

Friends and Low Places. It's one of those country songs that even if you don't like country, you've definitely heard. Well, George Strait, I feel like has a million of those. When we first started talking about doing this podcast, we were all kicking it around. And of course, we were lamenting the fact that like, oh, you know, I don't know if that would be a sustainable idea. I don't know how long we could do that. And then it kind of occurred to me. I was like, we literally could do an entire year focused only on the number one hit.

that George Strait had, just the number one hits that George Strait had in the 90s. So he's called George Strait or King George. That is for a reason. I've always had a little trouble with that because we live in a world where George Jones exists. So I don't know if he's King George, but that is his name regardless. But George Jones is the possum. He is the possum, you're right. You know, the possums can't be kings?

Yeah, right. You fucking possamist. I'm just saying that, you know, they got their names. You're right. You're right. The possum. This is a guy who, if. Friends in Low Places is the song of 90s country. It's hard to argue that George Strait isn't the artist of 90s country, in my opinion.

Interesting. Tray, do you have any thoughts on that? I mean, I just feel like Garth is also that. Yeah, you're right. I'm just talking about for number one hits. I don't know the stats on that, but I know that the 90s was, you know. I mean, that's what Garth fucking did Central Park. and three million pay.

He was definitely bigger than George Strait. Yeah, but I don't think he was bigger than everybody. I don't think he had as many number one hits, though. According to the Master Musicians Museum in Nashville, which honestly is one of my favorite museums I've ever been to. Go check it out. It's all about the people who were making the music behind the music, not behind the music,

but the studio musicians who made Nashville what it was. According to them, the only band that has outsold the Beatles is Garth Brooks backing band. Okay. I'm literally, I was just trying to get into this goddamn week. I'm sorry if my fucking facts weren't straight, you cock-sucking piece of shit.

Well, I mean, we're- I do think he had more number one hits. In the 90s is something you took personally. I didn't realize that being right about George straight is something that meant a lot to you and how you see. I do think he has more number one hits than Garth Brooks. I think he might be right. I think you might be right,

but I think that he started in the 80s. I still think he has more number one hits in the 90s than Garth Brooks. Just in the 90s alone. Yeah. I just, I just Googled. I just Googled George Strait versus Garth. We got our Indian on it. Thank you.

And all it says is George is better known for standing in front of his band and singing number one hits song, number one hits while Garth is all over the stage getting the crowd going. Well, yeah. That doesn't really help. I'm just saying I think George, I think George Strait probably has more number one hits than Garland Brooks. I think this is legitimately a great debate. I think that being on either. side of it is fair.

For the record, I think Garth Brooks is better. I think I would fall on the Garth side. We do need to talk about what Tushar alluded to, which is George Strait, is really just the singer, which is interesting. Before we get into that, let me just say both for our female listeners and because I think this is genuinely worth bringing up, Shania Twain changed the game in the 90s. She's definitely the queen. There's probably a few people who could compete with her a little bit, but I think

Shania Twain is undeniable. the queen who sits on the king throne is uh i think it's genuinely a good debate between those two yeah because they're just two completely different types of things i mean i think george stray is the pen ultimate of the country music that came before him from the 80s and and post outlaw he was that to a t perfection he stood there he sung he was handsome he looks like kevin costner with darker uh features like a good looking man yeah And then Garth ushered in the new era that the 90s launched. So to me,

I'm on opposite sides of that. I remember, I remember when George Strait put out this album. It was 2004. He put out an album called 50 number ones. It's a compilation of his first 50 number one hits. His first 50. About a big dick.

His first 50. He apparently's had 10 more since then because he's had 60 number one hits. Now that does, that starts in 19. 1982, and that also includes the 2000s. But Garf Brooks, according to what I Googled, only has total 20 number one hits. So he has more than three times the number one hits Garth Brooks has.

I still think that Garth Brooks in the 90s was bigger than any country musicians ever been or ever will be. That's an arguable. It's just by which metric do you want to judge it? Is this a Tupac versus Biggie argument? Kind of. because I mean obviously one of them did sell more than the other but there's still going to be people that go well that doesn't fucking matter you know one's got better flow yada yada based on what tushar said you know he's like George just known for staying in front of his band and singing I can remember like that's actually something that I was going to bring up I remember uh Thompson once like we were watching like a George straight concert on TV or something I mean this would have been like or maybe it was his movie. He had like a concert movie.

No, he had just a rodeo movie he was in, but he also was in a band in it, and he played a loose version of himself. It was him playing music in front of a band, and for multiple songs, I feel like, because I just remember at some point, Tom, we were just sitting there, and Thompson was just like, man,

is he ever going to play that guitar? Yeah. It's like, he just, he had a guitar strapped on in front of a, band but and he might like hit one note or something but he mostly didn't really play it he just stood there singing and singing you know wonderfully yeah right or whatever great songs but uh but yeah it wasn't like whereas you know garth brooks was the fucking he's a showman man on fire up there yeah but in someone that's impressive to me that george straight really was just a voice

pretending to be a singing cowboy. You know what I mean? Yeah. He didn't have to do none of that other shit. God damn it. George straight. George fucking straight. Well, that's why he was also old school, even in the 90s,

because he was like, oh, yeah, look at Garf, running. I mean, he didn't say any of this, but if there was a faction in the fan base, it'd be like, yeah, running around like some kind of rock star. I didn't know what cowboys do. Yeah. They get up there. They put on the Wranglers. They sang in two keys.

They look at your grandma. She comes her pants, and then they go home. while pretending to play a guitar like a Christian. Exactly. Yeah. I did a little bit reading just about George Strait, and his first number one hit was when I was born, and he's still relevant.

It's wild. I mean, he's obviously not as relevant as he was back in the 90s, but that motherfucker is still absolutely playing huge theaters and shit, if he's still touring, I don't know, but like, you know. Yeah. The thing I read, he has a wild. He has a Vegas residency or he did for a long. Good for him.

I would love to see his ass in Vegas, man. But yeah, he's just like, again, regardless of who actually was the artist of the 90s, he's on the fucking Mount Rushmore and there's no question about that. So he still, he has an ongoing Vegas residency? I should have 100% going to that next time I'm in Vegas. We should go to Vegas just to do that. Yeah, I mean, that sounds like it fucking hits to me. But it seems like George Strait saved country from.

veering to poppy like what Garth Brooks was doing he from what I I would say that the one thing that did hit about George, George Strait did put out a bunch of hit and he still puts out, he still put out songs within the last 10 years and as far as country radio

go, I would hear him and be like, yeah that's pretty good. You know what I mean? Like, he's good of his other stuff, but like they're pretty good. Do you know when that article was written about him saving it from pop? Because that sounds like something someone wrote in 2000 two and then Garth won

bro. He didn't save shit. I didn't read actually I watched a couple of YouTube videos. I saw an article. I saw an article. I read a headline, a YouTube headline. That's fine. All right. We're going to pause two seconds for station identification.

Tushar. You are well you clearly are. You were or were not aware of George Strait. I mean as you looked into this, Did you recognize these songs? Did you recognize the song we're doing the day? Which is, by the way, bringing your love with me. I recognize who he is,

and I know him as like a country music singer. And this song I didn't actually know until I started playing it. And then the second the main chorus starts, I just pictured like 50 blonde southern women just losing it. I know that you were trying to say country. That's fucking hilarious.

Dude, if you've learned that, you're a fucking genius. But they were, you know, I picture that. And so that's like, that's when it resonates like that, I'm like, oh, this is. Yeah. But otherwise, I couldn't tell you his, like, discography, you know. I think, fellas, I'm going to posit. I've been circling back in my brain to that debate. I think it's a legit debate.

I think it might be a generational divide where a lot of people our age would say it was Garth. But I think my parents' age, a lot of them would be like, no, it's George Strait. What are you talking about? Yeah, it's just a stylistic thing. I mean, there's going to be some people

who were just more into, like, George Strait, I don't, Garth is a lot, is kind of more rock. I mean, I love him, but like you could, a lot of his songs, they could have played on rock radio and they would have made sense. George Strait is, you know, you said it, you said it perfectly earlier, Like he makes your grandmamas.

Now that's what I call, you know, making your grandma's pussy wet, volume four. Yeah. Conway was volume one, I think. I mean, yeah, you're right. You're so right. But he's in that name. Memo? Now that's what I call getting your mama's pussy wet.

That came up on here before. I did a sketch about it, like an audio sketch on my old podcast. And yes, I've talked about it on here. I wrote like four songs for it. I just, like, I think that like, George Strait

hit more consistently for longer. Yeah. But for that moment in the 90s, Garf Brooks got bigger than anyone, including George Strait, has ever or will ever be in country music,

ever again. Without question. You know? Maybe that's what happened. We had a passing of power there towards the end. I think. But George Strait kept going, though. It ain't like he stopped hitting or nothing.

Right. He didn't murder him, Trey. This is country music. But I just meant maybe he took the crown from him. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, George Strait had like a, that song Trubidor. I love that fucking.

That's one of the best songs. It is. And that song came out in the 2000s. Yeah, like 2008. And that song was in. fucking, uh, the, at, don't look up.

Leonardo Caprow listens to that time. While he's driving through the city, waiting on the earth. It was and I love that choice. Me too, because I'm saying, because like, I really like that. I really like that.

That's up. Was that my Jamie Johnson? Or probably if it was. No, no. No, the, the one about the ring. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Give It Away was written by Jamie Johnson. That was Jamie Johnson. I've heard Jamie Johnson one night try to tell the story. of him writing that song to a crowd and he tried to tell it 15 times because it was hammered fucking drum. Yeah, I never seen him not be hammered drunk.

But yeah, Turbador, that was much more recent song. It's like a motherfucker. So I'm just saying like, you know, that's why I mean like he was consistent for three decades, you know, roughly the same level. Real quick,

I just looked up his tour dates. He's, he has a residency at the MGM Resorts. He's playing. We gotta go. the T-Mobile Arena and his last two shows that are scheduled at least are February 11th and 12th. Oh, damn it. In a couple, I guess in a couple weeks, yeah.

That's next week or it's not too. Well, I don't know when this comes out. It doesn't matter. We got to start taking Bubba field trips, right, Drew? Yeah, we got to go do some stuff live. We got to go to the Riemann, dude. You got to go to the Riemann and do a show from there. That's what we got to do.

That would be legit. Let's do a segment that will prevent the Riemannman from ever hosting us. I have come up with a game mostly for Tushar, but we can all play in honor of four weeks straight. We're going to do a game that I am calling George Strait, George Gay. Let me get my back's road here. So for this segment, Tuchar, I will be reading you lyrics. And all three of you can play, but I think Tushar will have the,

the most colorful responses and I think has this I can fool him easier right I'm going to read some lyrics from George Michael or George stray and Dushar is going to tell us is George straight or George gay are you ready to show I can I cannot wait I wish I had a buzzer uh do you want to pull up Indian outlaw the first three beats and you can go do do and tap da p bhaer We could just let Tushar just answer first. And then me and Corey can be like, yeah, we know this one or we don't know this one. Yeah, but yeah, definitely let Tuchard go.

Maybe you guys can give me hints. All right, here we go. Yeah, okay. You've changed. You're not the angel I once knew. No need to tell me that we're through. Damn. I'll go George straight.

George Gay. Oh. I was thinking George Gay. I was also thinking George Guy. But it definitely could have gone either way. I was just thinking George Gay only because I didn't recognize that at all. Right. And pretty much know all his lyrics.

Yeah. From all his hit, Drew might be doing deep cuts here. I don't know. If he is, then I'm not, you know, I may not know him. Can we do George Straight versus George Buy? Because clearly this guy is by. Oh, yeah. he got it in.

Well, too short, that's not a funny play on words, but sure, we can do whatever you want. Hold on with George Michael. Was he known to be? I thought he was just real gay. I'm pretty sure he was real gay, but I figure he fit some in every now and then. I guarantee you, look at him.

I mean, it looks like Jose Konseko's sucking a dick. Yeah, man. We call whatever you want to, sure. George, you can't believe that this is the point in Bubba shot the podcast tenure that you are suddenly uncomfortable with labels. George queer And we'll be right back

I want to dance with you throw you all around the floor that's what they intended and invented dancing for I do know that one Me too Oh man Matter Go ahead

It feels like such a country alpha male thing to say. So I'm going to go George straight. You are correct. Isn't that a John Prime song? Reframed from commenting until you can't. I think so. It implies it's George Strait.

You're right. That's right. We won't. But that's a... Oh, that's right. You don't know any... I know for a fact John Prime did that song. Is that a John Prine song?

Or do he just also do a version of it? Do you know? I bet he wrote it. I don't think John Prine to ever do a cover, but I'm not sure. No, he did Clay Pigeon. Play Pigeons by Blice Foley. Yeah, but that's Foley, you know. Right.

Sure, but anyway, I just know that John Pryant, because that song, that song hits for me, but I always listen to the John Prime version of it. All right, here we go. Well, you know, if Prine wrote it, hell, they meant of both did it. I wish I'd have found a song they both did. That would have fucking rule.

Yeah. All right, here we go. Like the ocean tides, highs and lows, love sometimes comes and goes in Marina del Rey. As this plane is touching down, tears touch my eyes, for I have found, my heart has stayed in Marina del Rey. I'm going to go, I'm going to go George. I'm going to go George Gay. All right.

Do we have an answer from the other two? That is George Straight. I was going to say George Straight. George? That one. Straight. Yeah. Yeah.

I just figured, I thought he. Marina Delray. Yeah, I don't. I don't know that one, I don't think. I picked him because I thought George Strait only lived in Texas and I picture Marinas. Oh, boys, be talking about Marinas. Yeah. That's true.

Fuck, I'm getting one for three so far. Yeah. God damn it. Maybe I'll be strong enough. I don't know where to start, but I know I'll never find my peace of mind while I listen to my heart. That's just a good lyric. I'll go to George Strait. George Gay.

You fucking suck, dude. I'm stuck at this game, man. Sweetest of the sweet, those ruby lips. No other has that touch, oh, those fingertips. Bluest of the blue, those sparkling eyes. Like hand in glove we fit, you're just my size. I feel like that's George Gay talking about George Strait. That is George gay.

George straight, baby! Go! Damn! That definitely sounds like George Gay. For sure. I'm kind of finding out here that isolated George straight lyrics kind of sound gay. It's almost like love is a universal language. It's almost as if there's no difference, and we are ironically proven that, even though we have reduced these two men to their sexualities, we are trying to prove.

Also, like George Gay, he didn't sing about gay. Gay stuff, yeah, you couldn't. You couldn't do that bit. Like, all his stuff was still. About Walmarns. Yeah. He had that, uh, isn't George, don't, George Gay the one's got that song,

father figure. Yes. Which like is only weird because of who's the age. Yeah. Well, I'm, no, it's like, the song itself, whatever, we don't have to take that diversion, but I think that song is like, it's arguable that that song, there's nothing actually really wrong with that song in a vacuum.

It just seems a little weird and fucked up. Right. Because like it's a grown man. Right. Or whatever. Yeah. Like if some kind of, I'd have to re-listen to it.

What would be wrong with it outside of the vacuum? Does it sound like it's pedophilic or something? It's because he was like sensual all the time. Like it, so do you just mean gay or do you know? No, no, dude. He was like a sexual. He was sexy and shit. He was very sexy.

I'm saying actually if George Strait sang the song Father Figure, I think it would just seem like a country song. A country song about a father's son thing. And that's all it would be. But I'm asking what's wrong with it? It was against Type. I'm saying there's nothing wrong with it, really. But it's like got a problematic or just made rednecks feel uncomfortable.

I'm not trying to attack you. Well, clearly that. I know. Hold on. I'm genuinely trying to ask if you're saying, the song is creepy because it sounds like it's like a grooming situation or or if it's just like oh he was hiding the fact that it was about a gay relationship I don't think he was hiding the fact that it was about a gay relationship I'm saying

that like okay here's what happened here I had a class in college that was like the psychology of music it was pretty cool we uh one of us we covered that song in there and I remember him the whole, the professor's whole point was like he played it and asked if people were weirded out by it and they were and then he was like, his argument

was like, well you shouldn't be because there's really nothing wrong with it. But why were people weirded out? Just because of a gay thing? Because at this point in time, by this point in time George Michael had had a lot of like very sensual sexual songs and this song is

about being a dad. I'm answering my question directly. I'm asking you why they were creeped out about a man seeing it. Was it an age thing or just gay stuff? I was trying to answer that question by saying George Michael what Corey just said, but also he had all that shit with like, he had like public. Jackoff stuff.

Yeah, public jackoff stuff and stuff like that, right? He was like he had like deviant issues in the press for a while and whatnot. Yeah. Didn't he? Yes, but really all it was was the deep. But he was gay when you weren't supposed to be gay. That's what it was. He had that reputation is what I'm saying.

What'd you say? Back off your mind, Tommy. Yeah, my bad. So I'm saying he had that reputation, whether fair or unfair, and it made the song seem creepy to people, apparently, is what I'm saying. I get that. And maybe you don't know, so you might have to speculate, but I'm still stuck on.

Where people creeped out that a gay man was a deviant or because the song seems to allude perhaps to an age, different situation or a grooming situation. Well, the song was it just like, this is a creepy gay dude or was it like wait a minute, this dude is talking about father figure, that sounds grooming. The latter, I think.

But it shouldn't have is what I'm saying. Right, it's just because of the perception of him. People read that into it because of the perception of him is what I'm saying. Right. But it wasn't necessarily just homophobia. It could have also been like although homophobia leads to people assuming all gay relations. Right, yeah.

They assume that about ultimately. Bobic people assume that gay people are pedophiles and shit. Right, right. Right. But they do be grooming people because men are gross. All men groom young people. Yeah, men are super gross.

Okay. Well, I think we probably have to get out of this segment now. I was going to do one more. Let me do a pallet cleanse. This one's very, okay, let's do this. Okay. I'm very excited about this one. I remember, too, a distant bell

and the stars that fell like rain out of the blue. I miss you, darling. George straight. Final answer? Boys? I mean, I'm going to go with George Gay. George Michael. I knew what you did, you sneaky bastard.

You threw that darling in there like, oh, darlingy? Yeah. Yeah, that was good. I like that. God damn it. Two Shars accidents getting thicker, by the way. Thank you for playing probably the last. version of George Strait. George G.

Everyone did a great job, and I fooled everyone once, which I feel good about. And too short, I'm not going to lie, you did not do that well. No, I did not do that well. You went one for five, right? We should do a, since it's Black History Month, a George Strait versus a George Black. I don't know that it looked like. Can we not call him George Black? I realize we called one George Gay, but that was a play on words.

I'm trying. Is there a black George hits? George Clinton. George Clinton. So yeah, there you go. I mean, that works. Yeah.

And he wild and it's fun to look at. I have a fill in P-Funk lyrics and George Clinton might be more obvious, but maybe not. I mean, when you start singing about love, I mean, it really is the universal language, man. All right. Let's do, speaking of love, being the universal language, I would argue that George Straits, and we've already alluded to it with making her mammoths panties wet, his, His bread and butter, his meat and potatoes are love songs. And the song we have chosen today is right in that vein.

It's one of his most, it's one of his most, what am I trying to say? Best known, most known, whatever. Gentlemen, carrying your love with me, first the facts. Carrying your love with me is a song written by Steve Bogart and Jeff Stevens and performed by American country music artist George Strait. It came out in May of 97. it was the second single and title track of an album from that year. It went straight to the top of the Hot Country Singles Charts on Billboard.

Let's see here. Lost my train of thought here. Oh, and it was nominated for a Grammy in 98 for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. It is a wonderful song. Like I said, it's very lovey-dovey and basic like a lot of his songs. let's get right into it. I remember this song being... I've lost you guys.

You hear me? Okay. Yeah, we're fine. My chrome went weird. We're in hotels, guys. Honestly, so far, very impressed with the internet here at this Hilton. Yeah. Garden Inn.

This was one of those songs that was at every dance, but getting back to the generational Garth thing, like the girls liked it more than the guys. You know, even the guys who like country music, I think it was an old school song even in 97, not just now. Do you guys agree? I definitely agree.

It's got that sort of Conway type feel to it where it's like, you know, all, of course, most country love songs cater to women, but this one feels just even a little extra. You know what I mean? In a good way. I mean that in a very good way. I fucking love this song. I'm about saying I love this song. Yeah.

What's that word saccharin? Is that the right word? Yeah. For sweet? like over the sweet yeah saccharine saccharine means over the sweet dude I love romantic stuff I like I think that

I was thinking we were listening this earlier this hasn't happened but like with this song I mean but every now and then on the road if I get a little too drunk I get back in my room and I start listening to country music and end up you know crying myself to sleep it's been known to happen

time or two and I think think that if we've been touring a lot, I think this song could do that to me. Because of Katie? Because of Katie. Gross. Well, sorry. I'm just saying if I was driving. George Gay. I'm just saying. For me and Amber, it's let's get retarded by the black-eyed peas. Amber's Jam.

This is not me and Kate's song. That song made it into the Zat Gass right before you couldn't do that. Absolutely. It's a wild. It made it by like two months, it seems like. Anyway, let's not get into that. No, I just, Katie, this is not like a me and Katie song or nothing. I just realized where we were listed to it earlier, if I was missing my family and drunk in a hotel room,

there's certain songs that had do it to me, and I never thought about it before, but I think this song would be one of them. So you say this in response to me calling it's saccharin. Are you saying it's not overly sweet to you? I mean, I guess it is. Dude, when I said that, please, understand that that that's not a diss coming for me because I literally love romantic movies,

romantic songs, sappy stuff. But they don't make you think of your wife or anything. Hell no. Yes, it's funny. Like he's, he loved college shit, but I'm gay for being sentimental about my actual wife. He's like, he's like, love and romance hits. My wife don't hit.

Like, she doesn't get. You just reminded me, you just reminded me of one of my favorite sketches in college. it was right when people were starting to say, hey, maybe we shouldn't use gay as an insult. And this dude's like, what are you doing today? And his roommate's like, oh, I got to go shop for a, what they call him?

You put a baby in them, Trey? A stroller. No. I got to go shop for a stroller. He's like, shop for a stroller. That's gay. And the guy was like, it's gay to look for a stroller that I have to put my baby in,

that I'm made by having sex with a woman. That's gay. And you just reminded me of that a little bit. You're just like gay. And it's like, yeah, me and my wife is gay. I didn't say gay. I said gross for the record, which I know Trey thinks is a synonym, but still. All right.

We're getting out of the weeds on that right now. Here's what I want to do. Let's set up a spectrum. Oh, good. This will go better. If you got amazed on one end as just like so fucking cheesy, you know, over the top 90s love song. And then that wouldn't. That ain't it.

Right. And then, I mean, the only thing I can think of right now should have seen it in color that always makes me crying. I don't think it's cheesy. But like, what's the love song that's never cheesy? The dance. The dance is a good one. God damn, son.

All right. That one can make me cry. You got the dance over here as like not cheesy. You're going to make people cry. You got amazed over here where it's like, come on. That's ridiculous. Where do we put Carrey in your love with me on that scale? Definitely in the middle.

Right in the middle for Corey. Yeah, now that you've laid it out like that, yeah, for sure. I think center and then what we'll call left, which is Garth, putting Garth on the left and Amaged on the right, which is probably true of their politics as close as it can be in country music. I can't imagine Lone Star is very progressive. I think it's center left for me, but leaning more towards dark, Trey. Yep.

Yeah, that's all. feel about it too. Well, I thought you might go further towards the dance because you just said it would make you cry. That was made that said that up. Wait, but. No, Trace said it about carrying your love with me. You said center left and Garth is left, right? So it's like leaning

more in that direction. Yeah, but I thought you might go further than center. I thought you might be like, no, it's almost as, as you know. I just also, I just want to clarify something about what I said earlier. Katie would probably call me gay if she knew I was trying to listen to that song. Well, like, the dance

Just to clarify. The dance is heartbreaking. This song is happy. That might have been a bad example. I just want to know if Trey thinks it's like a little cheesy, but it still makes him cry or not cheesy at all. Oh, it's definitely a little cheesy, yeah. It's just because it's not because it's just a love song.

Like the reason I said that is because the whole theme of the song is being separated. from the person that you love. Yeah, it's about traveling. It really makes sense to us. That's what I'm saying. We're road comedians and that's why this song. It's not just because it's a, like, they're like, I had a, we're not doing carried away, right?

Because they're like too similar. Not this month, no. So, all right. So my first high school girlfriend, because you just, bag of shit, Amber? No, this before, this is a pre-bag of shit, Amber, actually. Bagger's never.

He never tells us a story about Baggage shit, Amber. And we always go, back of shit, Amber. This is pretty bag of shit, Amber. My first high school girlfriend, because this was just what you had to do back then. You got a high school relationship. You got to have a song, right?

And it's like you just pick a song or whatever. And our song was carried away by George Strait, right? And that song is just a straight up, just you just hit for me so hard. Yeah. And let me sing about it. type of thing. That song would not

would play inside that response in me at all. It's because this one is about traveling and being away from them specifically. You got any thoughts on cheesiness versus sincerity here

with our man, George, and then we'll get right into the lyrics. I don't know enough about that, but I mean if I have to pick left or right, About love? Right now. No, just, you don't have to do, I know you don't know all those song references, but do you think this song is a little too saccharin or you think it's hitting it down?

Obviously, for the general public, it hit it right down the middle because it's a huge hit, but for you. Yeah, it was a little, it was a little cheesy. A lot of the Lord references. I forgot. I don't really like that. I'd forgotten to overt the Lord reference to this song until we listened to it again earlier. This is the best podcast on the planet. A lot of the Lord for me.

All right here we go. No, dude, I thought the same thing. Me and Corey listened to it right before we started, and I know every word of it without even thinking about it. But while it was playing and the lyrics were on the video, we were watching it popped up. And I was like, oh, the good Lord's spade. That don't help. Yeah. I forgot he talked about the Lord.

I'm not surprised. I just sort of called him good. Yeah, I don't. That ain't it. You had an uncle that had some speed that probably came from the good Lord. Without question, he didn't like God. I don't think so much. That's why he stole his drugs.

Let's do these lyrics. Because we're more than halfway through. If we stick to an hour, we ain't even started. Maybe all I got is this beat-up leather bag. And everything I own don't fill up half. But don't you worry about the way I pack. All I care about is getting back real soon. A goodbye kiss is all I need from you because I'm carrying your love with me.

West Virginia down to Tennessee. I'll be moving with the good Lord's speed, carrying your love with me. It's my strength for holding on every minute that I have to be gone. I'll have everything I'll ever need. I'm carrying your love with me. George Strait has several songs about how much he can or can't fit in a suitcase. He's a cowboy. He's his whole.

what's the word I'm looking for, brand is, you know, I'm a trapidore vagabond. Yeah, and or rodeo guy. But let's get into these lyrics. This is a great story song, even though it is a very poppy song and the repetitive chorus don't necessarily extend the story.

You got a lot here. You know, everything I owns is in one bag and it don't even fill up half of it. But don't you worry about that because all I need in life is to get back to you. when I leave, I need a kiss, and then I get back. And, I mean, he's clearly leaving for work or something, right?

So I was going to bring that up watching the video. Is he just like a hobo? Yeah, the video definitely makes the choices. He's hitchhiking to get back. But like from what, where did he go to do what? Like, because I always just assumed. And he has his shirt tucked in too. I always just assumed it was about being a musician.

Like, it was just, it was. autobiographical. I'm out on the road being a musician. That's why I'm away. But you watch the video and he's kind of just, they just out on the street. His manager didn't book traveling. What?

I'm saying his, it's like his manager didn't book travel and he's just out on his own. He's got a suck of trucker's dick to get home. I think that I think that the director of the video just thought it'd be more interesting. You know what I mean?

But you're right. Like the song is clearly about a working man who's got to leave for work. For some reason, he's forced to leave because he needs that good back kiss but he's coming back. We're going to ask the video, this guy don't have a home. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah, I bet you his old lady

don't feel the same way about him that he does about her. You just said his shirt took. Did George Strait is the shirt tuck in this motherfucker. Yeah, I'm just saying if I was a hobo, I think I'd let it hang. I bet he tucks his pajamas in. Guarantee into his underwear.

Absolutely. Fucking waddy-toddy. All right. Well, we've already brought up the video. Well, let's do the second verse. I don't want to blow through it too quickly, but I do want to do the second verse because this might be

like sort of the inspiration of the video. Not that it makes the video makes sense, but anyway, let's get into it. On a lonely highway stuck out in the rain. Darling, all I have to do is speak. your name. The clouds roll back and the water's part. There's the Lord some more if you guys don't know. The sun starts shining in my heart for you and you're right there in everything I do. I guess you could argue, especially, you know, the lonely highway and being stuck. Why are you stuck if your car didn't break down?

Or you're a hobo. You maybe. Again, I just, I always just took it for granted that his, he had car trouble or whatever. Like he was, you know, I never read any of this hobo shit into it before is what I'm saying. I mean, the thing is is that George, like George Strait didn't write the song. So the dude that wrote the song, it was clearly about, you know, his music life, I'm certain. I think it's also one of those songs that works really well for truckers. And there's a long history of truck driving songs for music. Truck drivers are one of the biggest consumers of albums, especially back when that was a thing, pre-Spotify. if you wanted to sell a record, you know, you appealed to truck drivers.

Hell yeah. So comedians, too. I was about to say it was probably for that. Also, also, so there's like, there's a lot of country songs and just songs in general that overlap and apply to like musicians, truck drivers, cowboys, and comedians. Hell yeah. They all kind of overlap. And it's just like the fucking road dog life, basically.

But like they allude to it. I know we're going to cover my personal favorite George Strait songs. I could still make Cheyenne, which is about a cowboy, but that's like a comedy song. Absolutely. And but anyway, that makes me cry. We'll get to that one, that one, shoot, shit, but we'll get to that one down the road. But I'm just saying, you're right, and those songs are some of my favorite songs, you know, because I also relate to them. But it's cool how they kind of, how, you know, music be that way.

Absolutely. Music do be that way. Absolutely. Well, let's get into the video then. Let me pull some stuff up here. It was directed by Christopher Kane. Now this is 97. The 90s for country music,

I mean, we've had songs on here that we can't even find a video in the early 90s. Then in the mid-90s, you know, you got like, all right, they're trying. Who directed this? What is happening here? Why did that guy rob them? And now we're getting in the late 90s,

and it's becoming more of, we know who the director is. This particular video was the hot shot video of the week for CMT in May of 90s. when it came out. It starts out in black and white. He walks into an empty auditorium. This establishes two things.

It gets back to your point, Trey, about it being seemingly like a musician lifestyle. But I also think it allows those cutaways that most music videos have back then and probably still do where there's what's going on in the story of the video. And then there's the band or the singer singing as B-roll. Yeah, right.

And I think that George the singer is a different character than George the Hitchhiker and mostly because they're dressed different. That's one theory I have. And of course, if you're listening right now, pause, go watch the video. It's great. General thoughts from anyone on the video

or should we just go through it as it goes? I mean, my number one thought on the video was just the hobo stuff we already talked about. Like, that was my main thought watching it. It was like, in my head, I was like, man, I never read any hobo shit into this song, but I feel like this video is sending some hobo vibes. Yeah.

And I didn't expect that. That's pretty much my main takeaway from the video. People don't know. He hitchhikes and gets in with a truck driver. There's a shot of him standing stuck out in the rain. And then there's a couple on a motorcycle. And, you know, the clouds and the waters and the sun, it all goes away. And the sun comes out.

So go ahead. Yeah. My thoughts on it were just that I just really missed the days when country music and country music videos was just a goddamn white Christian man standing there singing a song. You know what I mean? No painted on blue jean butts and all that, you know, fucking honky tonk rap horse shit. Just a man singing a song. Into the water.

I wasn't, I was going to save that. Yeah, that's fine. What's up with that? Yeah. Hussar, why do you drive that truck into the water? I thought the truck driving in the water was the most. broke back mountain moment of this of this whole video you thought it was george gay i thought it was george gay got a little gay for a second what do you mean um i after watching the video and like kind of

reviewing the lyrics it there was a little hint and this is maybe just because of my bias and because i love the movie so much but there was a little hint of like this is forrest gump remembering jenny and that's all he needed his whole life like it felt like that What year did the Forest Gump come out? 94. Yeah. So, yeah, they had three years for that. It could be a heavy forest influence thing.

I mean, do you care to explain, though, why you thought driving the truck in the water was a broke back mountain scene? I don't know. You're just getting in a car with a dude and you're all of a sudden you're not going anywhere. You're going through like you're mudding. Like what is that going to need to something? Yeah, real gay. No, he's got to, like I said, you know. We called the odd things gay today.

Ask gas or grass. Ask gas or grass. Nobody rides for free. He's got to suck that trucker's dick. Yeah. He wants to ride. I thought the video didn't particularly line up with the lyrics. I think it could have been, I mean, obviously not.

But it opens with him walking into what seems to be almost a church or something. And then it ends with him walking out. And then the whole video is. him in this commute. I don't know. I think it was almost, I don't know, it's just the way, the style of what the director was doing. But it just felt like, you know, a lot of the videos we reviewed have this kind of thing

of I'm on the road. I'm out of my own. I'm a vagabond. This thing's going on and I miss you. But there's a, I feel like there's an opportunity to like really color what he was actually doing. Like if he's working the road as a musician, that's, should have been kind of explicit in the video.

I guess it must be like a choice so that maybe it relates to more. Everybody, right. I guess that has to be why they did that. But I feel like with ass, gas or grass, I bet in that hobo world, it's mostly ass. Yeah. Don't you think? Yeah, if they had gas, they'd be in a different situation.

Right, yeah. Probably it got just enough drugs just to give away. Yeah, it's a lot of bucks getting fucked. It's a whole lot of butts get fucked out. They're on the road, boys. Every time I suck that dick, I thought it's getting. You know what? I teased it earlier.

There is one song that George Michael and George Strait both sing, and it was there's a whole lot of butts getting fucked out on the road. You just reminded me of that time. You're talking about Randy Travis. And that fucking truck door was like, it must be my birthday. God, damn, dude. Even that, but he's around all the other truckers talking about getting their dick stuck. They just straight up don't believe him.

Randy, quit. Randy, quit. They're too Randy. Brother Randy. You're telling me. They talk about him when he's not there. I mean, if he's going to make up a lie, make up something more believable than Randy fucking Travis. Yeah, God damn, Mark Chestnut.

Maybe, hell. Marty Stewart? Sure. I mean, you know, if I was drunk, but Randy fucking Travis? All right, let's talk about this songwriter. There's not a lot of background info on one of them, but Jeff Stevens, Jeffrey David Stevens,

was a very established country music singer and songwriter. He had a band as Jeff Stevens in the Bullets. One thing that I thought was interesting, he's from West Virginia, and he's a hillbilly. I think he, it's hard to get out West Virginia, Virginia in that lyric. Like it's like that's a lot of syllables to put into that part of the couple.

I think my man put home in there and that really hits for me. Yeah, you got to turn into that too, Virginia, you know, West Virginia, like, yeah, you got to make it somehow three syllables. It's also they border each other. That's not that much distance. Like to go from West Virginia to Tennessee. It's just like, yeah,

but you got to do Tennessee because. Like Pennsylvania would fit and make more sense. Right. Just as one example. from Pennsylvania down, but like fuck being in Pennsylvania. But Pennsylvania don't hit. Right.

That's what he lives. It hits for him, yeah. I mean, you're definitely right, Drew. I mean, he, Tennessee is good, it's good for lyrics, you know, it's a pretty word. It's an Indian. It's the George Jones or Hank of states

that you have to mention it. Yeah, and so, but West Virginia, it's 100% because that guy's from there, guarantee it. Yeah. But, you know, it hits. Tennessee and Appalachia are both, you know, Indian words.

not your kind too sharp and it's just such pretty much prettier language. I know. All right. Let's get back into the weird. Hey, quick question. George Straits kind of dysography, how much did he sing himself or write himself? No, right? He did.

I know for a fact that he had, I don't know if his number one hit, but he charted a top 10 with one that he wrote. it was the chair. I remember the chair. He wrote the chair. Just real quick, I'm getting a little bit of feedback. If you could turn it down, maybe a touch, Corey. I think it's you.

So I remember the chair. That was one that was about Clint Eastwood and that thing he did. It was a good song. So if he wrote that one, so he must have been writing some ever now and then, I guess. I'm sure. It would be weird just to write one. Yeah, he definitely didn't write many of them, no. Oh, shit, I'm an idiot.

I forgot this is one of those two verse songs. we've gone through the lyrics. I do want to get back to the video. So the rest of the song is, I'm carrying your love with me. It's just the hook over and over again. Long hook for 90s country. Maybe we're in a transition.

We haven't done a lot of late 90s things. This is one of the longer hooks or chorus. I mean, this is a proper chorus, I guess. We've had mostly just hooks, which, you know, borrowing from rap and pop. This is a longer chorus, which I like. It's got the, I don't know what the right word is, tempo and melody to me of a gospel.

song. Yeah, I can go with that. I don't know. I don't know. I just don't know much about it. It's not. So, God, like, the other,

I know I've said a million times, but I wake up with any random song stuck in my head for absolutely no reason, right? The other morning, it was that fucking, and this isn't gospel, right? But it's like Jesus, Jesus, he shit.

It's like, it came upon me. wave on wave. Oh, yeah. You're all right. That's a, that's a fucking Pat Green, yeah. Is that not a Jesus song?

No. No, okay. All right. He could definitely, now that I'm thinking about it, it's like I could see it being Jesus. In my head, it was like, the Lord's or whatever.

I don't know, man. I don't know why I thought that, but I love that you sang it like a soulful black man. It's not. Oh, real nine for you. Oh, yeah. Well, that's a thing Christian singers do. They copy, like, poorly that.

And then also it sounds like they're talking about Jesus coming on them, which is another thing Christian singers. Yeah, right. I know. It seemed to fit to me. I don't know. Waves have come. Waves of Jesus has come.

Let's get back to the music video. Roll time. There's something I want to talk about specifically with George Strait. that this was a requirement of 90s country. Corey's already alluded to it. I want a Christian man looking at the screen, singing right into me. Now, Straight was one of those.

He's the prototypical old school country sex symbol or whatever, whereas he is the sex symbol you never call the sex symbol. You're not, you know, you're not supposed to talk about it because he's not sexy. He's rugged. He's handsome. He's Kevin Costner. But obviously, he's got all these female fans.

he's never singing explicitly in his lyrics. It's always sweet and sacram, but a huge portion of his fan base are women. I would say most of them. I would say if you go to a George Strait concert, there's no groups of buddies there unless it's us, and we're George Gay. It's mostly couples and women coming.

But I want to share something real quick. Now, this is a good picture. I mean, that man's got beautiful green eyes. Look at that. But at this part of the video, I found to be creepy as hell. Did anyone else, when he's looking, it's like it's too close or something?

There's something very off about this part. It was almost like they told George to be sexy and he literally don't know how. It's kind of funny that you're saying that while shoving your whole head into the camera. I know, but I listen to online, like, look how far back I got to get to look normal. I'm like five feet from it.

Your whole head, being in the camera is not not hitting for me it's just that was funny yeah and I mean I didn't notice it myself while watching it but I mean I'm sure he don't know how to be sexy you know probably I would argue

that ain't Christian know how not to be sexy sure well yeah the shots where he the shots where he was like his close up face it was very glamour shotsy yeah it was very like air brum

and his teeth were a little too white and there's clearly makeup on him. To be a hobo, he does have some really good teeth. I agree. Right, right, right. That gets all them rides. That's how he gets all them rides. Is that what he said? Yeah, from the truckers who get their dick suck. Yeah, he's got those glamour shot eyes.

Here's what I'm going to do. I've got the video pulled up. I'm going to play that part without sound. Did we play the sound for maybe it was Memphis? Yeah, that was the problem. Okay, I'm about saying, because I got flags for that. I couldn't figure out how to turn it off, and it was a lot of sound. Okay, well, yeah, we'll just be careful. I understand.

Also, that's a good segue to announce. I am going to start a YouTube channel for Bubba Shother podcast. I'll keep putting them on trays for a while, maybe indefinitely. And you can follow us on Twitter at Crown Royal Bag. And you can get updates there. I'll be putting a poll up over who the king of 90s country was. and we'll be promoting that. It'll be George versus Garth.

We don't even need to do a poll, in my opinion, for the queen, but maybe I'll put one up. We definitely don't. Yeah, I mean, Dolly was the queen at the time, but she's kind of just retired. It's just not. Yeah. All right, anyway, let me do this screen share

and show y'all what I'm talking about. Because to me, it almost was like, dude, this sucks, but I love George Strang. and he is more handsome, but it's almost like how Mark Zuckerberg looks like a robot kind of, and it makes you uneasy. Yeah. This particular part of it,

I hate to besmirch the man. Can y'all see that? Yeah. All right, here we go. It, it kind of looks like those, he's dancing. It looks like those deep fakes.

Yes. Like it looks like that's not actually George Strait. They just put George Strait's face on another dude. Yeah. Yeah, I think you're right. I think that's why it looks weird. I think there's two things going on that that's causing that. You're completely right.

I think makeup-wise, like the glamour shot, comment, too sharp, you're exactly right. Something weird happened there. Also, there's something strange about how he's dancing with only the bottom part of his body. He looks like those jib-jabs. Yeah, yes. He looks like a jib-jab dick fake. Well, this was made in 97. I bet that like the director was filming him dancing and singing and was like,

you have to keep your head still for this shot. This is where we're going to make all the Mamaw's panties wet. You can't be moving too much. But keep dancing because whatever. And I mean, I think he just looks fucking awkward. Yeah. He also looks to that end. He looks like he's lip-sinking.

He's obviously not singing the song. Right. Right. That's a good point. All right. Nothing else is cool. Well, it's about time to vote, fellas. I'm voting for George Michael, personally.

I think he's definitely the best part of this podcast. I will start with Tooshar. Tushar, carrying your love with me, West Virginia down to Tennessee, moving with the good Lord's speed, which we've talked about and bothers some people. What are you, what's your vote? I'm going to go to. and one third. Okay.

Because the video was a little kind of basic. I know why. Too many Lord references. And then I think, I feel like he has better songs that will probably hit this month. So I want to try to set the baseline for that. Great commentary right there too short.

That was awesome. I also think, because yeah, we're doing third, right? Yeah. Right. So, yeah, I was two and a third. Yeah, I ain't going lower than two, but mostly just because I also know that he's got songs that hit harder for me than this one.

This song does hit, but it is like, I mean, it is kind of, you know, cheesy and saccharine or whatever. It's not like he ain't really doing anything to, like, ground breaking or anything. Oh, yeah. It's a good song. with this film, but it's just, it's a good song. So I'm not going lower than two, but it ain't like nothing special or anything. Well, and what he's doing is there's a divot in the country music where George Strait drives his songs. And he is right in the fucking lines with this one.

For sure. He's got a brand and he's in there. Corey, I feel like we're breaking some former and future Mamaw's hearts with this rating. You're going to change it for us? we're at two and one third right now. I'm not saying this just because that's what both of them said. My first instinct was to go two and a third and I'm going to stick with it. But again, that's not disparaging the man.

I mean, my God, he's got great. And two and a third, that's a great, that's a great song. That's a good fucking song. But like, yeah, I mean, there's not like, it doesn't have one really single lyric that I'm like, that right there. You know what I mean? And like, in order to get any higher, you've got to have at least one, like, one lyric that I'm like, man, that was well written.

but like it's a good song but it's two and a third. I've been conflicted this whole time. We've established the third Earnhardt's as our rule, and I'm sticking with that. I will say if that weren't a rule, I'd definitely be at a two and a half. I've been going back and forth between a third and two thirds. I agree with everything y'all have said.

What I'll say in the pot, and let me say one thing you haven't said, I've said this before. I don't like two verses. I want three. I realize I realize that's a formula The beginning middle end

But we're talking about 90s pop country Like the formula is there for a reason folks But that aside I lean towards two thirds Because of the melody It's right Being so Fucking undeniable

This song is such an earworm In a good way I've never been mad This song was in my head Not a single time. And for that, I'm going to give it two-thirds. This is one of my three or four favorite George Straight songs. It is saccharin.

It is over the top. But that's George Straight to me. He is the king of late Ailes, early 90s country for sure. We'll have the battle between him and Garth later of the 90s overall. He did that by appealing to very basic things. I mean, the fact that he rarely writes his own songs, but that's a strength because he's, he's that good of a singer, that all falls in line with what's going on with this song.

This is consummate George Strait, so I'm giving it two and two-thirds because it's just to go any lower for me, it's like I'm attacking straight. I know y'all don't feel like that way.
