b"Adam welcomes consummate singer Darius Rucker to the show for a nuanced and entertaining look at his life and career as he\\u2019s about to release a new album. Darius grew up with a single mom and even though his father was mostly absent from his life, we learn of some audacious requests from him once Darius found success. We discover his initial love for music, how \\u2018Hootie & the Blowfish\\u2019 was created with college buddies, and the trajectory of being successful and talented as a black man not necessarily fitting into specific molds of where people expect others should be. He mentions being the butt of SNL jokes, and on the brighter side some epic rockstar parties.\\nNext, Adam welcomes more music greats; Dicky Barrett and Pete Parada who created a new band together, \\u2018The Defiant\\u2019. They came together over their shared experiences of the abrupt ways in which they were both kicked out of their previous bands. When mob mentality turned on them, they found common ground together and have lots to say about the state of today and the last few years.\\nChris introduces the news with a clip from Vivek Ramaswamy from the first Republican presidential debate which segues into an interview from Adam 15 years prior that was remarkably similar. They also discuss a recent Tucker Carlson interview with Trump that garnered hundreds of millions of views.\\n\\nPLUGS:\\nCheck out Darius Rucker\\u2019s new album \\u2018Carolyn's Boy\\u2019 available for preorder now and releasing October 6th\\nSee Darius Rucker live:\\nDURANT, OK - CHOCTAW CASINO & RESORT - September 8th & 9th\\nOKLAHOMA CITY, OK - THE ZOO AMPHITHEATRE - September 10th\\nAnd for more dates visit: DariusRucker.com\\nLook out for Dicky Barrett and Pete Parada\\u2019s debut album of their new band, The Defiant releasing October 2023 \\nListen to The Defiant\\u2019s first single \\u2018Dead Language\\u2019 wherever you dind music\\nVisit: TheDefiantOfficial.com\\nAnd follow the band on Twitter, @TheDefiantUSA\\n\\nTHANKS FOR SUPPORTING TODAY\\u2019S SPONSORS:\\nBlindsGalore.com, let them know we sent you\\nForThePeople.com/ADAM or dial #529 \\nAngi.com\\nOReillyAuto.com"
