Eric and Bob in the Morning Full Podcast Dec 16th

Today on Eric & Bob in the Morning — a heartfelt tribute and a whole lot of crazy. We remember the great Joe Ely, the Texas‑born singer‑songwriter and country‑rock pioneer whose road‑rambling tunes and genre‑bending spirit influenced generations. From co‑founding The Flatlanders to touring with The Clash and dropping albums for over five decades, Ely left a musical legacy as wide as the West Texas sky. He passed away at 78 on December 15th, surrounded by family, after battling Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia. We’ll raise a glass to the troubadour who made the road feel like home. Parade Plus — it’s time for Jimmy Carter’s Check‑In Report — we’ll dig into the latest from the former president’s corner, what he’s been up to lately, and maybe touch on a few of the wild things people think he reported (spoiler: no UFO landings on the show yet). Wikipedia And in weird but wonderful holiday trends — “nude” Christmas trees are everywhere this season. Nope, not what you think — it’s that minimalist “bare branch” look some celebs and décor gurus are calling the next big thing in holiday style.
