I've got nowhere to go but crazy and country music coming up with Dave Edwards on the Tim Kelly Show from KICR Indie Country Radio New Country's Best on Triple Play Thursday.

Well, I played every honky-tonk in Texas They called me the king of silent tones I was such a fool I broke every rule I didn't have enough sense to go home Well, I really had a gold mine there in Texas Two kids, a wife and a happy home She said she'd always be so in love with you The doors aren't closed on the places that I go I miss her when she left me I try to keep a big smile on my face But I can't drown the tears Chasing whiskey with beer They just keep right on rolling The doors are closed on the places that I

And I said,

where's country music? The fiddles and the steel guitar are gone.

Everything is set aside for the rock and roll guitar sound.

Tell me where is country music? Well a song spoke to your heart With words we could relate to And we believe each word the singer sang In every country's song It was back when singers and their bands Tell the difference between rock and pop and country all night long.

And I said,

where's country music, the fiddles and the steel guitars? is synthesized and the rock and roll guitar sounds kind of foolish.

What's the difference and why do so many of us get it wrong?

I think people see that they're not getting enough sales.

So the obvious thing to do, I'll get more leads.

If you're only converting three out of 10 of the leads you're currently getting, then if you get 20 leads, you're gonna be converting six out of 20.

The percentage doesn't change.

You're just buying more of the leads where if you can get better at converting the leads you've already got, then you're going to get a lot more business.

And then you can obviously just buy more leads to get more sales in the long run.

None of us.

But just a mere 20 years into the future, what are your thoughts on what the role of a pilot or an operator will be with these machines? And are there any things that you think will remain, I guess, fundamentally human?

Again, we're in such a weird time at the moment, but a positively weird time at the moment.

Positively as in it's a good thing.

If I go back as a society at heart, we're still a business, right? However we function, I still have people who work with me.

We have systems we have to use to Microsoft Word, et cetera, stuff like that we have to make work.

If I go back to where we were with AI two years ago compared to where we are today, they are different scenarios.

I mean, literally, the stuff that we're now using AI for across all of our different processes is just eye-opening.

And, uh, But any advice you would have for, I guess my thought is for those that are in the space and they're going to be interacting with this technology and interacting with more automation and developing not only a comfort level with it, but even a fluency with it, right?

Um, look, first of all, from, um, uh, are, are you surprised that Rob Edwards has, has seemingly decided to make this move from a, a club that looks like they could go up to a team which, with all due respect, looks pretty- Very, very likely to be relegated.

Yeah, I was always gonna be interested that when Rob was really connected, what his decision would be.

I think from a Wolves perspective, I think it's a wonderful appointment.

I think if it wasn't the connection he's got with the football club, I don't think Wolves would be in a position where they could get Rob Edwards, but they're lucky that he's been there as a player.

He's been there for a long time as, as a coach as well.

They put a lot of faith in him, give him a lot of opportunities as a young coach with the under 18s, 23s, first team coach, interim manager, back to the 23s, helped him when he first dipped his toe into management with Telford.

So they played a big part in Rob's coaching journey.

Yeah.
