What is Country Music's Obsession with Blue Jeans?? with Ben Kronberg

The boys met up in comedian Ben Kronberg's (The Denver Comedy Lounge, Late Night with Seth Meyers) home in Denver to discuss a curious question: what is the deal with singing about blue jeans in modern country music? Danny, Tyler, and Ben attempt to identify the origins of denim in country, and trace how it turned into a full-blown, bro-country cliché by the mid-2000's.
They even put together a blue jeans playlist, if you dare to listen.
