Beyoncé has dropped her much anticipated album Cowboy Carter, and the Nuts wonder if this will finally net her the album of the year Grammy. Of course not all country fans agree, and the nuts discuss the origins and media systems that produce loyalty in the country genre. A discussion of influencer culture, and the modern impetus to sell to the highest bidder, makes the Nuts nostalgic for the grunge era. Somehow this leads to a discussion of the best Star Wars movie, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Amy Winehouse desert island scenarios, and Lindsey’s life with synesthesia.
