## Resource

JB White is back from his summer break, and he eases into it with a little bit of everything. There's a heartfelt musical tribute to Dolly Parton, a rundown of his cross state move and the ongoing effort to hold onto his family's historic land in Georgia, and plenty of early season Gator football talk, including the quarterback situation heading into the fall. Expect candid reflections on the evolution of country and R&B music, a few personal stories about family, faith and real estate headaches, and JB's read on the broader geopolitical landscape, including why he thinks a sovereign alliance without military muscle behind it does not hold up. It's part homecoming, part therapy session, and part scouting report for the season ahead. Grab a glass of something and settle in for a wide ranging, unscripted return to the show.
