Delivering Happiness. And many, many more. Open your free iHeartRadio app, search Delivering Happiness with Nick Turturro, and listen now.
So I'm not sure what we started the thumbnail as. You've seen it by now, but I considered the thumbnail saying, I support firing people just to get people to click in. So I don't know if we ended up settling on that, but I'll start with that. I read a story, and then I saw Jason Aldean talk about it a little bit too, where he said that there were people in his crew that were bad-mouthing him, and he fired them. And there was a little more to that. So he put out this song called Try That in a Small Town. That song was pretty controversial. And he was on a podcast talking about that song and there'd be division amongst his crew. And he has a large crew, so you can't really assume that everybody has the same beliefs or political beliefs.
And that some of the guys were even bad-mouthing him. And I'm going to paraphrase. He's like, I'm paying for the buses. I'm paying salaries. I'm paying for food. Like you're working for me and you're bad-mouthing me. Like I'm going to fire you. And so it seems harsh on the surface. And now I'm not having any opinion in this conversation about him or the song. I like Jason. The song is a little corny in my opinion. But I do also like some corny songs. But that's not even what I'm talking about here.
