Great show, great format. If the hosts could stop speaking over each other, and stop doing ‘racist trope’ voices for characters it would be better.

When I lived in Nashville, I lived just Down the street from George Jones and Nancy. At Christmas, people would drive down to the end of the street to see his house, fully decorated with lights. His toy train, tractors, and the biggest rocking chair ever seen. I got to know him really well since I did a biography on Hallmark video so I got to meet him and talk about his music and some of the crazy things he did in his life. He was probably one of the coolest guys I’ve ever met.
