Summary
Look, time don't hit. It's confusing, scary, and inevitable. You never have enough of it. You got in on your hands but never on your side. It's mysterious, annoying, and seemingly never ending. It being the New Year and all, we figured we'd offer up 90's country's best attempt at capturing this via the life of one very messed up family in Tracy Lawrence's 1996 hit "Time Marches On." Written by the indomitable Bobby Braddock, this song, and episode, are amazing. Enjoy it.

| 0:00.0 | E equals MC squared. You've heard it your whole life and you have no fucking idea what it means. |
| 0:08.4 | Essentially it means the energy and mass interchangeable because they are equal. What does that mean? |
| 0:13.6 | I don't know. I'm a podcast host who makes videos with a shirt off in his living room and often has |
| 0:19.8 | a hard time with anger and other emotions. I don't understand the theory of relativity. All that |
| 0:26.0 | I know about it is that Einstein had figured out the time seemed to move differently the closer you |
| 0:33.1 | got to the center of a black hole or any massive thing that had a lot of gravitational force. This |
| 0:39.4 | led him to postulate the time was a fourth dimension and it has been confounding and confusing us |
| 0:47.2 | ever since. You cannot turn back time. You cannot slow it down unless of course you are close to a |
| 0:53.3 | black hole like I said and this certainly explains why conversations with boring people seem to |
| 0:58.1 | take forever but it does not explain why some days are longer than others and why overall time |
| 1:03.4 | just don't hit. We can't even really define time. If you look up synonyms for time you're going to |
| 1:09.0 | get measurements, eons, hours, ages. The only real synonym for time is calling it the fourth dimension |
| 1:18.4 | which is what Einstein was trying to do. The only thing I can tell you for sure about time other |
| 1:23.9 | than it don't hit and it freaks me the fuck out is that it marches on. It never stops. It won't stop |
| 1:31.6 | for you. It won't stop for me. It won't stop for whatever god you're praying to and it won't stop |
| 1:37.8 | just because your husband's cheating on you with a woman in another town. This is Bubba Shot the |
| 1:45.4 | podcast. We're doing Tracy Lawrence today and I am so excited. Bubba Shot the podcast and that's |
| 1:52.8 | right. I'm sure about country at its time. Gentlemen first the facts. Time Marches on was a song |
| 2:00.1 | recorded by Tracy Lawrence. It was released in March 1996. It was the second single and title |
| 2:06.5 | track from his album Time Marches on. It was his 15th chart single of his career. It spent three |
| 2:13.7 | weeks number one on the Billboard in mid 1996. It received single of the year nomination from the |
| 2:20.0 | country music association in 96 as well as song of the year nomination for both 96 and 97. I don't |
