Adam Gold On His $10,000 Bet With John Rich
Show Notes

This week's guest on the Country Music Media Podcast is Adam Gold. Adam has a long, acrimonious history on Twitter with John Rich of Big & Rich. It reached new heights when they bet $10,000 on who would be inaugurated as president on Jan. 20. The bet was made after the November elections, as even the Supreme Court refused to consider a case that the election was fraudulent. To say it was a strange arrangement is an understatement, but Adam tells the story best.
