    Incredible and fascinating stories, thanks for once again taking us down memory lane! The stories are a big part of what makes this podcast off of the charts so good and you guys have it down pat. I listen to No Shoes Radio a lot and KC has these Pirates and Poets Guest DJ sessions and it's other artists, songwriters, models, football coaches/sports people, his band, etc (I've heard Danny Rader's session, it was great) and when the songwriters are on like Mac McAnally, David Lee Murphy, Josh Osborne, Ross Copperman, Shane McAnally, etc. they were my favorites because I always loved their short blurbs on the songs they wrote but it always left me wanting many more details. Well you guys have TOTALLY captured that part and taken it to much higher levels - so thank you! The stories on how each of you met each other today were great to hear, too, because it's clear you 4 have an amazing dynamic and bond - I love when Tully calls things "God Moments" because that is so true. Always appreciate the insight into the business, I find that part very interesting, too. Would've loved to see Tully in that Merle Haggard tribute band, much like I'm sad I missed the early day festivals with the 18 minute Hicktown version (I'd pay money to see that again - especially if you had a fiddle player - that song kills!). Finally, what a surprising and super way to end the show with the whole Lindsay Ell story - I need to hear that full song - is there any way to do so? Most Amazing Thrash is so talented, I love when he breaks out the guitar and sings...so good! Once again you guys made my Monday morning!

    What hurts the most, was being so close... This applies to so many different aspects of this precious life we live. Going through something right now that resonates with this song. I need more strength to get through this and I don't know if I can. I feel lost, empty and scared. This is the hardest thing I've ever endured, personally. Thanks Mr. Steele for such a beautiful song.

    Whoopi actually renamed herself after her incessant passing gas. First, she was Caryn Johnson, then Whoopi Cushion, finally on her mother’s advice, she replaced Cushion with a Jewish sounding surname, ergo, Whoopi Goldberg.

    @edsvideos1159 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Wow, that was such a great Q&A! Thanks for answering my question and for the love, right back at you guys, you continue to make my Mondays! The stories on the songs is one of my favorite parts of the podcast - they are so good! As for ending DST, I'm with you Kurt (and Clay Travis shares this view), but I understand Tully's point being an upstate NY guy, too. I've said this before, but the the interactions you guys have really make this show, it is so real and non-scripted and the interjections are a core part of the appeal to the podcast. Btw, I've watched several episodes many times, I think I've watched the Gary Levox episode 4 or 5 times because it was so funny and I love Thrash and Gary singing their songs - I Melt was great and it was where we first heard about the influence Thrash's great wife, Lana, had on creating that tune...the Jeffrey Steele episode is another favorite of mine, but there are so many....30 episodes in the books and every one of them has consumed my attention, so you guys are doing this right and I've never been a podcast guy before the TTIAST podcast! TK- best to your son on his college selection process, he sounds like an incredibly talented young man and I saw your Instagram post about him over the weekend, way cool. By the way, love Thriller but Off The Wall may be just as good....oh and interesting about your bass playing without formal education. I think Paul McCartney was never formally trained either as a bass player and his record speaks for itself..the bass line on Silly Love Songs is so good....and I know you're a huge Police fan, like me...I've seen Sting many times. All 5 of the Police albums are great, but Ghost in the Machine may be my favorite. My daughter went through the college process last year and is now at High Point University in North Carolina. She's very happy and I hope your son finds the same great happiness. K-Lo - you are clearly the idea man and I remember you telling the Rachel "Tough Crowd" story on an earlier episode. When I hear you say you're an idea man, and you clearly are, it reminds me of a really funny early 80s movie, Night Shift, starring Michael Keaton (he called himself the idea man - "feed the tuna mayonnaise" lol). You definitely have a very calming voice and smooth delivery on these episodes....Thrash - you're unfiltered honesty is so refreshing and needed in today's society, keep up the great work! Kurt - you orchestrate all of these episodes so successfully and it's fitting you were chosen to be the TTIAST Podcast Prez...thanks again guys, all the best and can't wait for next week already!
