The hosts discuss the viral success of Oliver Anthony's song "Rich Men North of Richmond," comparing its impact to early hip-hop as "rural America's CNN." They debate the concept of "frequency" in music and how certain songs resonate with specific demographics. The conversation touches on the "keeping it real" trope and whether Anthony is an authentic voice or an industry plant.
Mo Facts argues that the music industry often buries real pioneers and replaces them with "industry plants" that can be controlled. He introduces Allen Klein, the manager who eventually controlled Sam Cooke's catalog. Adam Curry recalls meeting Klein and describes him as a "feared and revered" figure in the business.

He also discusses Candace Owens and the Daily Wire, suggesting that working for a corporate entity requires following specific talking points.
