Episode 79: Uncle Kracker's "Double Wide", or Kid Rock's Rib

We think the story goes thusly: Kid Rock has some success in circles he did not expect (like Adult Pop radio) with "Only God Knows Why". He also has a lot of success with more nu-metal offerings like "Bawitdaba" and "Cowboy". He knows he cannot release an entire album of "Only God Knows Why"'s. But you know who can? Enter Uncle Kracker, Kid Rock's unassuming and reluctant DJ who has a decent singing voice and can, in fact, release an entire album of country-adjacent and hip-hop-adjacent songs that all hit exactly one note, but that one note leads to "Follow Me", yet another massive crossover hit. Was this album ahead of its time? Did Uncle Kracker even care to make it? We dig into that and much, much more. Also, Bryan got his eyebrow pierced. Twice.
