0:04.5 | I'm walking the floor over you, walking the floor, I'm walking the floor, walking the floor over you. |
0:20.5 | Oh, last send yours, and send your retas. This is Chris Schiffland, and you're listening to Walking the Floor. |
0:25.5 | Episode number 196 of Walking the Floor. We are slowly closing in on that 200th episode, which I don't know what I'm going to do, but I better come up with something special, because that's a big number. |
0:40.0 | Anyway, we're back. I told you I was taking a little break, and was going to head out to Nashville to do some recordings, some solo recording, and I did. |
0:49.0 | I recorded about five songs out there in like two days. Man, Nashville's crazy. Those cats are so talented. They work fast. I'm slow, and dumb, and talentless, and old. It's hard. |
1:02.0 | But I got most of a record in the can, you know. It's not done, but we're getting there. We're getting there. Little by little. |
1:10.0 | Anyway, that was a really good time. For anybody listening, feel free to give me some new restaurant recommendations in Nashville. |
1:17.0 | Man, I'm out of gas. How many times can you eat Martin's barbecue? The answer to that question, in my case, many, many times, multiple times every trip. |
1:25.0 | But I'd like to find some new places, man. I don't even know where to look, because I'm not local. So hook me up. Send me some recommendations. |
1:34.0 | This past week, food's got back to work, doing lots of rehearsals, getting ready to go on tour. I can't believe it. |
1:40.0 | Tour is coming back. Got lots of dates, and that's very exciting. And I'm sure there'll be more to come, but we will see you somewhere very soon. |

2:14.0 | So make sure you get on over there to zounds.com, and you get yourself what you need. All right, let's get to today's interview. |
2:22.0 | Okay, so there's a great show that just premiered last night, June 6th on Showtime. It's a four-part docuseries called The Kings |
2:45.0 | that's on the Golden Age of Durran, Hagler, Herons, and Leonard, the greatest four-way rivalry in the history of boxing. |
2:54.0 | I thought it was absolutely incredible. Like I wanted for more episodes. I just could have watched this all day. Really, really well done. |
3:01.0 | I thought it was amazing how not only did they get really in-depth on all the fighters and their lives and their struggles and everything that led to those four fighters fighting each other over and over, |
