This week, we take on Garth Brooks’ country mega-hit “Friends in Low Places”, a song that somehow became one of the most famous country anthems of all time despite sounding like a rodeo clown crashing your ex’s wedding and immediately regretting it.

We break down the very confusing story at the centre of the song, Garth’s strange refusal to live on normal streaming platforms, the GhostTunes/Amazon saga, Chris Gaines, the Tom Segura “where are the bodies?” conspiracy, and whether Bevo could survive a fight with 1990s Garth Brooks.

Spoiler: he could not.
