    Cowboy, take me away because I'm not ready to make nice. I need wide open spaces and I'm ready, ready, ready, ready to run. No, that's not just Kendall's mantra, it's some wise words from a trio of trendsetters, pioneers and button-pushers, The Chicks (formerly known as the Dixie Chicks). Kendall schools us on who they always were as a band and group icon, how they're adapting to a changing world and why we should adore them now more than ever. Grab a drink and let's go! Drink of the Episode: Twisted Tea INGREDIENTS: Just a Twisted Tea (Hard Iced Tea brand). Maybe add an ounce of peach schnapps if you want to make it a Twisted Peach Tea.

    Want to know the template for basically every story ever told? Here we go... "Once upon a time there was [blank]. Every day, [blank]. One day [blank]. Because of that, [blank]. Until finally [bank]." Let's try it on... Once upon a time there was a guy named John McClane. Every day, he tries to be a good guy to his family even though he and his wife are on the outs at the moment. One day, he visits his wife at a holiday work party and a group of terrorists show up. Because of that, he has to go full Bruce-Willis-murder mode, tape a gun to his back and walk barefoot on glass. Until finally, he kills all the terrorists and saves the day. Huh. On this episode, Caitlin explains the art of storytelling and the rules the big guys follow when creating interesting stories. Whether you write, read or watch Netflix, you'll leave this episode with some knowledge that will help enrich the experience.
