  We got a question for American mama. Dear mama, I keep finding more
• 0:03
  and more reasons to like Oliver Anthony. Well, let's ask our American mama.
• 0:08
  Mama, Mama, she said, and joining us now our American mama,
• 0:22
  Terry Netterville. So this is another story about Oliver Anthony. And I
• 0:27
  agree with the It's not really a question, it was a statement, but
• 0:29
  I agree. Keep finding more and more reasons to like him. He was
• 0:32
  going to do a concert at a bar in Knoxville, Tennessee. Now this
• 0:35
  is a guy who was just playing in his backyard, right, He's now
• 0:39
  got a concert. Who's gonna be playing in Knoxville, Tennessee. And ticket
• 0:42
  prices were over ninety dollars. There were some that were that they were also
• 0:46
  selling two hundred dollars for a chance to meet and greet Oliver Anthony. And
• 0:51
  he said that'll be free, Yeah, he said, He said, any
• 0:56
  meet and greet, it's free. I don't know how long this will,
• 0:59
  laugh asked, I hope that. I hope this is actually who It feels
• 1:03
  authentic. It does. It feels authentic, and I think other celebrities can
• 1:07
  learn from this. It's almost like, you know, If you look on
• 1:11
  his Twitter account, it says, you know, we're It has a tagline,
• 1:15
  so it's Oliver Anthony at ain't got a dollar like he is so authentically
• 1:19
  him and he's almost proud of the fact that he is not going to gouge
• 1:23
  the American people. That's what he said. So tickets were supposed to go
• 1:26
  for ninety dollars for the concert, he said, no, tickets from my
• 1:30
  show should never cost more than forty dollars. Ideally, they shouldn't cost more
• 1:34
  than twenty five dollars. I also liked how he talked about how the problem
• 1:38
  happened. He said, this was a miscommunication between my manager, a friend
• 1:41
  of mine, and somebody's just kind of stepped up to do this for me
• 1:45
  and me this this is a miscommunication between us. I didn't make it.
• 1:48
  Once I talked to him about it. We've canceled the show. It's it's
• 1:51
  not going to go forward, but from now on, we're not going to
• 1:53
  have ninety tickets in my concerts. I just love this guy so much,
• 1:57
  and I think about this. All of these stars. I don't blame them
• 2:02
  for, you know, wanting to make as much as they possibly can for
• 2:06
  their talent. I understand that. But this is somebody who understands and recognizes
• 2:12
  that everybody deserves a chance to be entertained by their favorite singer, actor,
• 2:17
  or whatever. And he also understands that even if it's twenty five dollars a
• 2:22
  ticket, he'll still be able to live a life of luxury because he will
• 2:25
  still make so much money. So if all of these other people thought about
• 2:30
  the everyday man and kept their tickets a little bit lower, it would say
• 2:34
  so much about the relationship that they have or that they feel towards their fans,
• 2:38
  these people who are basically setting them up for life. And I just
• 2:42
  this guy just feels like the real deal. And he is trying so hard,
• 2:46
  like everyone is coming at him from every side because they feel like you're
• 2:50
  not you know, you're not supporting the right, you're not supporting left.
• 2:53
  And he says I, and he did this. I period don't period support
• 2:59
  period either period side politically, not the left, not the right. I'm
• 3:02
  about supporting people and restoring local communities. Now go breathe from fresh air and
• 3:07
  relax. And he said he loved that. Yeah, he is. He's
• 3:12
  somebody that we all feel like that we could be friends with right and and
• 3:15
  the other thing that I love about him is whenever he's in an interview,
• 3:19
  he has his Bible with him. And this is somebody he who was not
• 3:22
  just a Bible thumping Christian. No, but the Bible has changed him.
• 3:25
  It has changed him, changed his life. He made a promise to God.
• 3:29
  God delivered within a couple of weeks, and now he is reaching for
• 3:32
  the words of the Bible. And every time he goes onto the past,
• 3:38
  yes, interesting, yes, and right, go ahead. He started quoting
• 3:42
  the Bible and Joe Rogan he was like, Joe Rogan had never heard this
• 3:46
  before. And Rogan was like, wow, that's amazing stuff. And he
• 3:50
  says, yeah, the Book of Proverbs is so good. It's not it's
• 3:53
  not really preaching stuff, but it's got just tons of good advice in it.
• 3:57
  And Rogan was like, why, I may need to check that.
• 3:59
  Yeah. And I think I don't even think that Rogan's a Christian. He
• 4:01
  might even be agnostic. I'm not sure, but he's not a very religious
• 4:05
  man's And what Oliver has done is he's made it made us want to go
• 4:13
  look into Proverbs right. Wow, you know, he opens it up the
• 4:15
  and he speaks the word and it resonates with all of us and makes you
• 4:19
  want to go. You know how when you were a kid, even as
• 4:21
  an adult hunt sometimes you would get the Bible and you would flip it open
• 4:25
  and close your eyes and you put your finger wherever that you know, wherever
• 4:29
  your finger lands. You feel like that that's a message from God saying this
• 4:31
  is what you need to read today. I don't know if you've ever done
• 4:33
  it, but I've done that before. Where you read it, you're go
• 4:35
  like, okay, this is what it. Flip through it, put my
• 4:39
  finger there, and then you read it. There's something very magical about that.
• 4:42
  It's fun. So he's doing that, he's making you want to go
• 4:46
  get your Bible and go look at proverbs, go look at what he's reading.
• 4:49
  And he's not doing in a way that's in your face. He's doing
• 4:54
  it in such a real and authentic way, genuinely, genuine, hard way
• 5:00
  that you're just you kind of breathe it in in a different way coming from
• 5:03
  this mountain kid. Well he's a kid to me, but mountain guy who
• 5:09
  just a couple of months ago was ready to kill himself, ready to leave
• 5:12
  this earth right before he asked God to help him right. It's just an
• 5:16
  amazing story and I do love his principles. And again, it's not because
• 5:20
  I think this guy's a Republican or it's not because I think I just think
• 5:25
  he's authors like that. We don't know and he's yeah, we've talked about
• 5:29
  that before. Dolly Parker, no idea. I love that Johnny Carson had
• 5:31
  no. I don't want to know. But it sounds to me like this
• 5:35
  is actually somebody who's who's tapping into what a lot of people, and I
• 5:40
  would say the vast majority of Americans actually feel. And I think that's a
• 5:44
  good thing. I do too, And I think that you know, we've
• 5:46
  talked before and we said, where are the David's, where the Allijahs?
• 5:48
  Where are the ones that God's using? He's using Oliver Anthony And if he
• 5:53
  can use someone like that, he can use someone like us. I feel
• 5:56
