S4E14 Surprises, Snubs, and Social Security Scandals

In the latest episode of "The First Shot Morning Show" with Tori and Stephanie, the main focus was the 2024 Grammy Nominations, particularly the segment "What's Roasting," where they discuss pop culture over coffee. They covered various surprises and snubs in the Grammy nominations. Morgan Wallen: Despite the success of his recent album, Wallen was excluded from major categories. His single "Last Night" received a nomination, but the award would go to the songwriters, not the performer. Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman: Their collaboration on "Fast Car" missed out on a Record of the Year nomination, which would have made history. Latin Artists: Notably absent from the major categories, raising questions about the representation of Latin music in mainstream awards. Jon Batiste's Return: Following his previous win, Batiste received nominations in several major categories. Best New Artist Confusion: Both Victoria Monét and Jelly Roll, despite having long careers, were nominated as new artists. Jelly Roll's CMA Win: Jelly Roll also won the New Artist award at the CMA and acknowledged Zach Bryan during his acceptance speech. Weird News Wednesday Segment: A story about Michele McKenney, whose social security benefits were cut off after being mistakenly declared dead by her bank, Bank of America. Despite efforts to correct the error, the issue persisted, causing significant personal distress.
