S2 - E29 - Special - FU:E Gone Country - with Jake from 'Life Is Unfair' & Mark from 'The Evil Mark Show' - a podcast by Eric Stephens

This is the first of our special bonus episodes before wrapping up season 2. We went country. Look at them boots. Because we had 4 guests, Jared had the idea to make this the 4x4 edition, so each guest brought 4 country songs to the table. Mark went ALL Morgan Wallen, so feel free to send your hate mail to him at show@evilmark.com.

Joining Eric on this journey into the farmland are:

Super Producer/Co-host Jared, from '⁠⁠⁠⁠Feathers And Friends⁠⁠⁠⁠' and '⁠⁠⁠⁠Parrot Gaming Productions⁠⁠⁠⁠'.

Mark from ⁠⁠⁠The Evil Mark Show⁠⁠⁠, the head degenerate on the fastest growing sports show taking the world by storm, which you can hear each Thursday (with ME!), and each.....day TBD, for the NFL/(After Hours in the offseason) show, with Jared. Find out more information on the ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠ feed.

Jake, THE HOST :) from ⁠⁠Life Is Unfair⁠⁠, THE '⁠⁠Malcolm In The Middle⁠⁠' rewatch podcast that you can hear each Thursday, as they go in chronological order through the series. They’re also part of the incredible Twitch channel, ⁠⁠Lets Play Deathray⁠⁠, where they variety stream all sorts of awesome content, banter back and forth, and interact with their community in amazing ways. Definitely check that out, especially on a Sunday Community Night, where you'll catch them (and also sometimes me), playing Jackbox games, Gartic Phone, Minecraft, or any number of fun games. They stream every night except Friday and Saturday's around 7:30 PM MST.

Jake is also a published author! That’s huge! He wrote a segment in Bi-Visibility, which you can order ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.

AND Eric's wife Megan joins to keep Eric on his toes with the laughs.

You can find the playlist here.

We went in alphabetical order in terms of which guest was going first, so Jake led us off with some alt-country offerings by:

Gillian Welch - Pass You By

Drive-By Truckers - Decoration Day

Cowboy Junkies - Murder, Tonight, In The Trailer Park

Murder By Death - The Big Sleep

Jared went next, with the natural WTF selections you've come to expect that only Jared would bring.

Nashville Tribute Collection - (Garth Brooks) The River

Brooks & Dunn - Boot Scootin' Boogie - Club Mix

Steve Earle - Copperhead Road

Rodney Carrington - In Her Day - Live

Mark had no problems coming up with his musical journey songs, but he hemmed and (yee) hawed about this one, finally settling on bringing just Morgan Wallen, but then having trouble narrowing THOSE selections down. In the end he brought:

Morgan Wallen - Don't Think Jesus

Morgan Wallen - Had Me By Halftime

Morgan Wallen - More Surprised Than Me

Morgan Wallen - Cover Me Up

And finally, Megan, (with very limited input, but she said significant input from Eric), rounded out the song selections. Hey, I wanted to bring Chris Isaak CLASSIC Wicked Game to the party, and they all said it wasn't country despite being classified in the Wikipedia as such...it's almost like we can't trust things on the internet anymore!

Luke Combs - Even Though I'm Leaving

Luke Combs - Better Together

Chris Stapleton - Parachute

Jason Aldean - Don't Give Up On Me

Like an idiot, Eric forgot the "Is It Aerosmith" questions, but at least we still get to hear the theme music and just declared everyone winners!

We have an additional week's break because Eric needs to go on a work trip, but we'll be back on May 16th with Eric's Musical Journey, our 13 song mega-playlist focusing on our lives, our experiences, and our musical tastes and how they've shaped us! You'll get Musical Journey's from all of your favorite guests, so look for those in the feed and until then, enjoy your moonshine!
