Summary

When did country music get so dumb? We've pinpointed it down to two points along the path that changed country music forever, and we've invited physics expert and '90s country fan Dr. Angela Collier to help us decide which of the proto-bro country songs actually holds up, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney or "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" by Big & Rich!

good to say.

0:41.3

And I think I picked this one specifically to torture you.

0:44.7

I think it's important to keep in mind that in the seven years that we've done this show,

0:49.2

I have never once had something good to say in the sense of it having value.

0:54.3

Maybe this time.

0:57.7

and I had to click it immediately.

1:15.7

And I was name checked right at the beginning.

So I immediately offered a guest spot to our guest today, Dr. Angela Collier, by far the most educated person we had on the show.
