Summary

Wheeler Walker Jr. is a country music outlaw with fans like Snoop Dogg and Kid Rock. His dirty dirty lyrics have shaken up the Nashville scene and he's been banned by country music radio stations across the country. In this episode of BOOM TIME, Wheeler and Flula discuss the problem with today's "pop country" as well as the inspiration for Wheeler's hit songs like "F**k You B*tch" and "If My Dick Is up, Why Am I Down?" Also, Flula gets very confused by Wheeler's use of the word "pussy." (Wheeler is not singing about felines.) Finally, Wheeler and Flula collaborate for a special live performance that is not to be missed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
