Tennessee Waltz Luke Elliott and Duncan Ing

This is the wildest/saddest story in recent Tennessee political history. For years, State Senator Steve Dickerson (along with his partners) operated about 60 crooked pain clinics at one point seeing nearly 50 thousand patients per month. The damage it caused families all across the south is immeasurable. This is our story of our involvement. Links below to support our claims. (We do not intend to discuss politics often on this podcast, but it was hard to to avoid on this one.) If anyone has had an experience with CPS, we would love to hear it.

Today we discuss crooked Adelphia Communications, the original namesake of the Tennessee Titans stadium. We also briefly discuss the tragic murder of Steve McNair. 

P.S.- sorry for the delay in posting. Duncan and I have been very busy at work. More to come shortly. Merry Christmas!

Recent development: we discuss the connection between TN Governor Ray Blanton (elected in 1975) and mafia boss Jimmy Hoffa. Hint: our governor had one of his close associates killed. Also, he pardoned a double murderer. We told you Tennessee politics was rough. Tune in.

A man got stabbed with a samurai sword in Belle Meade. Duncan sold out to TikTok and became famous. Tennessee recently celebrated its 225th birthday.

Today we discuss former Nashville Mayor Bill Boner (unfortunate and fitting name). He shocked the city with his shameless affairs and carefree attitude. Duncan had bad luck with his Kentucky Derby picks per usual.

Today we discuss the infamous Butcher Brothers: East Tennessee banking titans and coke dealers. Duncan has been making mint juleps again.
