The Birch Show. Jeff was out at the Kenny Chesney concert last night. Yeah, Phil was there too. It was a great show. This guy is amazing, man. 17,000 or 16,000, whatever 100 people at Phil's Arena three nights in a row. I'm out of the loop on the country thing. Like, I was, I just, I just have the old traditional country thing in my head, and I've never gone back. He said more than once from the stage that in his 12 years of touring,

he has never once played the same city three nights in a row and three sellouts.

I mean, that's huge.

Is it the kind of thing where he plays Atlanta because he doesn't play other southern cities that are close like Birmingham and all?

No, so he's pulling from everywhere?

Like I said, he's been touring for 12 years. And he has been partying. You know, he came to Atlanta and partied hard for three solid nights. Even more proof of it. He even sold out Detroit in like an hour. Two shows in Detroit. He sold those out in like an hour. All them Yankees like King Chessie? Yeah, it's, it's like that country music boom

right now. And last night was just amazing. It was absolutely gorgeous. His new marriage helps at all. I mean, somebody, at one point, I went with my brother, Sam, and my dad, my little sister, and we were just having a great time. And I got elbowed more than once because he was going up to where the skyboxes were or where the were. And at one point, somebody elbowed me and said, did he just say, hey, Renee? Because it sounded like in his second or third song, he went and pointed it up one of the boxes and said, hey, Renee, because he was waving to the crowd. And I got elbowed twice. Somebody said that he did that more than once. I didn't catch it. She wasn't there last night. She was there at the concert on Saturday night.

And Uncle Cracker came out and Gretchen Wilson came out again. Cracker was hammered last night on the page.

No, really? Who knew? The guy drinks?

I don't know if you saw this from the side of the stage. You were sitting on Phil, but I thought, I'm pretty sure that Kenny Chesney was giving hand signals to do his band, whether or not to keep or get rid of crack.

Like, he'd like, keep crack around and he nodded at his guitar player, and his guitar player was like, are you sure?

And that happened right in front of us.

Like, what's the crowd like now at a country concert?

Hot, gorgeous, wonderful.

Yeah.

It was like going to a UGA game, but everyone was dressed up.

I mean, the crowd was, it was, yeah, it was like 20,000 beautiful people.

Country is a younger crowd now.

I mean, I would say the average age there was probably between the ages of 20 and 25. Really? Yeah. And all the girls, you know, had their cowboy hats on and all the guys had cowboy hats on. And it was just, it was if you watch like a Kenny Chesney video, that's what it was like. Yeah, it was, it was cool. The problem was, and I was talking to some of my friends at Phillips Arena, and I mean, yeah, I think we all agree. It's a great place to see a concert, and they do an awesome job, and we were talking about the different crowds. And, you know, three nights of any concert, plus Destiny's Child on Friday night, so these guys have been working for like four straight nights, you know, concerts, and they were looking pretty beat up, and some of them

were telling me that sometimes this crowd gets a little rowdy, you know, a little more rowdy

than other crowds, just because, you know, the beer's flown and they're out to have a good

time, and sometimes, and I almost experienced that with Jessica, because said that I have, you know, a few pet peeves or quirks or whatever you want to call them.
