158: A Vaughan bros doc and the word "bruh"

<p><em>EarBurner</em> is still trying to find its sea legs, even after 157 episodes. In this one, Tim and Zac make a long-distance call to Kirby Warnock, out in Big Bend, to talk about his new documentary on Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan. It screens March 23 at the Texas Theatre. Jimmie will be there. Get your <a href= "https://thetexastheatre.com/film/jimmie-and-stevie-ray-vaughan-brothers-in-blues/"> tickets</a> now. THEN the lads talk amongst themselves about the <em>Dallas Morning News</em> reporter who was fired for calling the mayor "bruh" on Twitter. Tim broke that <a href= "https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2023/03/dallas-morning-news-fires-reporter-for-calling-mayor-bruh-on-twitter/"> story</a>, and now it's all over the internet, even on Fox News and the <em>New York Post</em>. Ack. A note: here is the <a href= "https://johnmcwhorter.substack.com/p/are-white-people-using-black-english"> 2021 piece</a> that Columbia linguist John McWhorter wrote about White people using the word "bruh." Tim refers to it, and it's worth your time.</p>
