#153 After 2 Beers: A Musical Journey: From Concert Controversies to Small Town Anthems

After 2 Beers

Ready to debate who the real jerk is at a Miranda Lambert concert? If the thought of celebrities calling out their audience tickles your curiosity, you're in for a treat! Our version of the popular 'Am I the Asshole?' segment kicks off with a fiery discussion around a selfie-taking incident at a Lambert gig. We dissect the crowd's reaction, captured in a video recorded by a fan, and challenge you to decide who's right and who's wrong.
Ever wondered what makes Crocs the footwear equivalent of a guilty pleasure? Let's embark on a humorous exploration of why these controversial shoes have captured the world's attention. We also bring you a side-splitting analysis of the eccentric wardrobe selections in the movie Idiocracy. But it's not all laughs as we also tackle a unique quandary: why don't film villains use iPhones or iPads? Our speculation is sure to give you a hearty laugh.
As the episode wraps up, we take a deep dive into the themes of small-town pride and territorial protection in pop culture, sparked by Jason Aldean's 'Dirt Road Anthem'. Comparing it with Hank Williams Jr's 'Country Boy Can't Survive', we explore the narrative similarities in popular films like 'Roadhouse Dalton', 'Rambo: First Blood', and 'Smokey and the Bandit'. So, grab a beer, put up your Crocs-clad feet, and join us for this entertaining and thought-provoking journey into the world of country music, controversial fashion, and small-town ethos.
