This week's episode is a tribute to the life and career of Lynn Anderson, a beloved country music legend who left an indelible mark on the industry. We begin by tracing Lynn Anderson's early beginnings, growing up in a musical family and honing her skills as a singer and performer. We highlight her breakthrough moment with the iconic song "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" which catapulted her to international fame and became one of the most recognized country music hits of all time. She had a unique style and voice which combined a traditional country music sound with contemporary influences. Her success was not limited to a single hit, as she consistently delivered chart-topping songs that resonated with audiences across generations. Beyond her musical achievements, we explore Anderson's role as a trailblazer for women in country music. At a time when female voices were often marginalized, she shattered barriers and paved the way for future generations of female artists. Her amazing daughters, Lisa and Bunny, join us in the studio to give us a first-hand account of growing up with a famous mom, and the legacy she wanted to leave.

With Pride month officially over, Phillip and Wes discuss all the festivities surrounding Nashville Pride week. Gay pride events provide a wonderful platform for the LGBGTQ+ community to be visible and celebrate their identities openly. This visibility helps to challenge the stereotypes and stigmas, creating a more inclusive and accepting society. Nashville Pride brought together people from many different communities creating a sense of solidarity and community. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, especially those who may feel isolated or marginalized, pride events offer an opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences, struggles, and triumphs. 

Pat Robertson was an influential religious leader who passed away recently. In this episode, we explore the complex emotions surrounding the death of a public figure. We delve into Pat Robertson's life and legacy, as well as the question of whether it's okay to experience happiness or sadness when someone like him passes away. His death raised complex emotions that varied from person to person. It is important to remember and reflect on his contributions, both positive and controversial while respecting diverse viewpoints and allowing individuals to navigate their feelings freely. He spent his life preaching against the LGBTQ community as well as many other marginalized groups. Whether it's okay to be happy or sad when someone like Pat Robertson passes away ultimately depends on each person's personal journey, values, and beliefs. Let's embrace empathy and understanding as we engage in discussions surrounding the passing of public figures and their legacies. 

We continue the conversation about Judaism with Scott and Eitan. With anti-semitic crimes on the rise, we discuss the effects on the Jewish community. We also dive into the questions we have always wanted to ask a Jewish person including the terms Kosher, Bar mitzvah, and dreidels, just to name a few. Finally, Phillip and Wes invite themselves to a "Hebro" event to find love.

As of 2023, Jewish people make up .2% of the world’s population, yet, there are currently more anti-semitic crimes aimed towards this group than any other religious group in the world. Scott and Eitan are both Jewish and gay. They join us in the studio to discuss growing up gay in the Jewish faith, the history of Judaism, the differences between Christianity and Judaism, and conspiracy theories about Jewish people. This is Part 1 of 2.
