With Conan O'Brien stepping away from late night television, it's hard not to think of a particular public debacle he endured in his career, and from there, it's easy to go back to the late night TV rivalry that spanned 20+ years.

It's the assumed "heir apparent" to the Tonight Show throne battling the surprising replacement, it's NBC dueling CBS, for one last time, it's Jay Leno against David Letterman!

If you had asked us before this week what the odds were of Elrod, not only contributing a show idea, but a good one that we would use, we would have told you they were about as good as Phil Mickelson's odds to make history this weekend and winning the career Grand Slam at the U.S. Open.

It has been well established on this show that Rut and Elrod like to argue with each other. This week, it shows that this isn't just a schtick for the podcast. This topic stems from a group chat argument and it finds its way onto the pod to settle it... Two country music artists from a time period that country music was really booming and had a lot in common. Raised in Texas, came out of the gates booming to #1 and then ultimately got overlooked and seemingly got lost in the shuffle, and now find themselves extremely underrated by the masses. But this week, they're going head-to-head in the Convince Me Courtroom. It's Clint Black vs. Clay Walker. Make sure to keep up with all our happenings on our socials.

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! We took a couple of weeks off so Bennett could welcome the next Convince Me Kid, but we're back with a brand new episode. Spring is here, the weather is warming up, and the world is opening back up little by little and that can only mean one thing... live music.

This week, it's another trip to our pre-podcast days! This was the 2nd episode we recorded and the first time we got a little long winded (which we try to control nowadays). This is a topic that hits meant alot to both Rut and Bennett and that shows in our first musical showdown. Enjoy this blast from the past, the 2nd of the illustrious 7 "pre-podcast" shows, and hopefully we'll have a brand new episode for you next week.

This week, we're going all the way back to the beginning. In the first of our Convince Me Callback series, we're releasing the first recording we ever made. When we recorded this episode, we didn't know what we were doing, we didn't know if anyone would ever it, we didn't even know the name of this show yet. It was released on Facebook and has since been added to YouTube, but was never released in podcast form... until now. Join us this week and see just how far we've come in a year!

Our biggest show yet... our one-year anniversary and Episode 50! Thank you all for your support thus far! What better way to celebrate the occasion than by having a full length debate over a topic that has come up multiple times in the past year and is a point of contention between Rut and Elrod for some time now. Several actors have done the suit of the Caped Crusader over the years. Some good. Some meh. But the overall consensus is that the best comes down to two of them, Michael Keaton and Christian Bale. But who is 1A and who is 1B? This week, we find out just that. We're starting off Year 2 with a bang as we decide who is the best Batman, Keaton or Bale!!
