Summary
We continue our nationally awarded limited series "Four Weeks Strait" and cover what many consider to be George Strait's signature hit. Sweet, romantic, general enough to be beloved by all but just specific enough to be called a country classic, "Check Yes Or No" was a nostalgic masterpiece. But we ask, was it missing something? Does it make sense for 3rd graders to be passing notes? Were Trae and Tushar nerdy losers? Listen along with us, and let's find out.

| 0:00.0 | Bubba shot the podcast and that's right. I'm sure about country at a time. |
| 0:05.6 | This is Bubba shot the podcast, gentlemen, first the facts. Check, yes or no, is a song written |
| 0:11.9 | by Danny Wells and Dana Hunt Black and it was recorded by our man George Stray and released |
| 0:18.4 | in September of 1995 as the lead single from his box set straight out of the box. It |
| 0:25.3 | picked it number one on both the U.S. Billboard country charts and Canadian RPM country |
| 0:30.6 | charts. It was also included as a bonus track on the UK release version of Blue Clear |
| 0:36.9 | Sky, not Clear Blue Sky, an album that came out in 1996. We're doing four weeks straight, |
| 0:42.8 | gentlemen, as Trey alluded to before we started recording. This is the song that most |
| 0:47.6 | people think of when they think of 90s George Stray country. I'm going to start with |
| 0:53.4 | Tushar. Before we get into the lyrics, before we get into that, I think this is inarguably |
| 0:59.6 | his sweetest song. Now I realize that you both as an Indian and as a just deathless, cynical |
| 1:06.9 | man and outlaw probably are not familiar with the general works of George Stray. But is |
| 1:16.5 | this song too sweet? Yes, absolutely. And it's to its own detriment. I understand why |
| 1:35.9 | he's doing. But it felt like it was an opening to like a 90s sitcom for kids. And that's |
| 1:43.5 | not bad. That leads to his mass appeal. I get it. But it's a little as a grown man, |
| 1:49.3 | you're kind of like, oh my god, what are we watching here? Well, I'm going to let everybody |
| 1:53.8 | comment on that. For some reason, I knew in my heart I had to come straight to you straight |
| 1:57.5 | out of the gate. But I guess we'll start in a little bit more of a standard way and get |
| 2:01.0 | to these lyrics. Or well, no, I want to talk a little bit about the singer's songwriters, |
| 2:05.8 | excuse me, the songwriters. It's a song written by two people, Dana Hunt Black, a lady from |
| 2:11.7 | North Carolina. And I got my own person. That's why I am. And Danny and Danny Wells, a man |
| 2:23.0 | from North Carolina. I got too many pictures. Like I have like seven pictures today. So |
