Hey everybody, Krista Makes a Podcast producer, Chris Fofallius here.

Just wanted to give everyone a little fair warning since this show is usually pretty clean.

This episode contains some stuff that might not be suitable

for young kids and might be awkward to listen to around your parents or grandparents.

This is the kind of warning that I wish someone would have gave me before I watched clerks with my mom as a kid.

Just putting it out there, but otherwise this is a great episode.

Enjoy. Hey everybody today's guest is lead vocalist and guitarist Wheeler Walker

Jr. from Nashville Tennessee. Together we break down the writing, recording and

inspiration behind his brand new single Finger Blast taken from his

brand new 2023 album, Ram. Wheeler says things in this song that a lot of us

may think about but would never commit to song.

The lyrics and delivery are hilarious, but crafted so that you don't think you're listening to

a novelty or comedy musical act.

The musicianship is top-notch.

Wheeler's band is on fire, and producer Dave Cobb,

well he not only brings it all together,

but he gets it.

Dave's resume speaks for itself,

and it's no surprise that Wheeler has used him to produce all five of his albums.

I told Weir that he is definitely on his own here with his sound, and particularly this track.

Nothing quite sounds like Finger Blast.
