of martin's barbecue joint. sundays are often spent here at pat's house -- friends, family kicking back and drinking beer and cooking over the fire pits. all these chefs pride themselves on celebrating local, seasonal, southern ingredients, and close relationships with farmers and food producers from the area. those are 90-day aged rib eyes from nearby bear creek farm slowly cooking there, and they're gonna be topped off with oyster mushrooms and bourbon soy, and some nice runny eggs and garlic. grits, well, of course. these are called greasy beans, pressure canned in saltwater then heated up with pork fat, so i'm not hating that, for sure. there's also homemade ricotta served with a cold smoked sausage and roasted acorn squash.

"night train," now boarding, and you have the best seat in the house, so let's get rolling to great entertainment. >> jeese: "night train" was the black tv show that had all the major r&b artists on and the local artists on, the same as we had with "hee haw" and all the country artists. and then you had jefferson street. jefferson street is where all the black artists came to play. people like jimi hendrix, little richard, b.b. king, aretha franklin, ray charles, all of these people played in nashville on jefferson street. we had blacks and whites coming into the inner city. we didn't have broadway. we had jefferson street. back in the day, it was the place to go. ♪ >> anthony: the jefferson street

>> anthony: everybody's moving to nashville. this car, effectually referred to as the black shark, did in 2012, along with its eight cylinders of detroit-made awesomeness, came alison mosshart. singer-songwriter for the london-based band, the kills, which she formed over 15 years ago with jamie hince. and more recently, locally based the dead weather. [ the kills "impossible tracks" ]
2:15 pm
♪ oh my shaking heart you got me from the start you got me good ♪ >> alison: straight to a red light. boom. >> anthony: she needed someplace to park her car, she says, and nashville seemed right. >> alison: i lived in london forever riding the bus. i really wanted to get a muscle car, and i needed a garage to put it in. there's no way i can be unhappy in this car. >> anthony: completely understand the relationship. this is a custom-made dodge challenger. if it hits you with speed, it will mess you up real bad. >> anthony: i love this car. i'm having car envy. [ laughter ] this is nashville hot chicken. if you order it in its hottest
2:16 pm
iteration, it too will mess you up, as i came to find out. hot chicken recipes are notoriously kept secret, but preparation always begins with the poultry getting double dredged and deep fried for a thick, crispy crust. then each piece is given a wet or dry application for that sought-after caustic kk. with the wet, the chef's mix of hot spice comes in an oil-based sauce or paste that the chicken is dipped in or coated with. other cooks use the dry method, coating the chicken with a blistering blend of cayenne, sugar, paprika, and other secret spices that form a fiery outer layer. if you come here to the very fine bolton's for your hot chicken or their optional hot fish, it can, in its milder forms, which are still scorchingly hot, be delicious. but try the hot stuff, and watch out. no, really, watch out. uh, how long you been in nashville? >> alison: four years maybe? i was working here all the time. i loved it. i thought it was beautiful. lots of people i knew were
2:17 pm
moving here. lots of bands. lots of rock and roll was coming to town. >> anthony: yeah. like a real lot. >> alison: you know, when i was touring when i was a teenager, this is a place you would avoid. if you were in a punk band, don't come play nashville, no one will come to your show. that sort of seemed to change like ten years ago, where suddenly, it was like, "people are showing up." >> anthony: right. all right. >> waitress: from left to right, hot, medium, mild. and then the fish, spicy. >> alison: okay, thank you. >> matthew: i didn't even order, so you guys go for it. >> anthony: oh, you're gonna have to try some. >> anthony: matthew mosshart, alison's brother, is a professional chef who moved here in 2013 to start a catering business. >> matthew: we should have
2:18 pm
gloves on. oh, man. >> anthony: the medium is really hot. that's really hot. and it just keeps coming. >> alison: you're already diving into the coleslaw a million miles an hour. >> anthony: yeah. >> matthew: oh, my god. >> alison: are you dying? >> matthew: yeah, this isn't good. it hurts. that was -- >> anthony: which one did you get? >> matthew: i think medium, mild, whatever it is. >> alison: i know that i don't have a hot one, but this is hot anyway. i'm just -- i'm trying to bond with you guys. >> anthony: all right, i'm going in. do not resuscitate. >> matthew: oh, man. i don't want this. >> anthony: oh. oh, that hurts. i think i'm hallucinating. >> matthew: that one's putting
2:19 pm
you in a head spin. >> alison: oh, my god. >> anthony: it's like a sharp burning, and it just keeps coming, and coming, and coming. it's not going away. >> matthew: you got nothing on yours? was it like a medium? >> anthony: i mean, and this was an existentially awful experience that i really -- there were moments when i didn't think i was gonna make it. this has gotta be so much better than that, and it's only three minutes. >> dean: only three minutes. i'll take it. >> anthony: do you serve snacks in there? my friend, dean fertita, plays guitar and keyboards for queens of the stone age, and he also plays with the dead weather, with alison, who you just met. a nashville resident too, he trains in krav maga, a lethal martial art at the same gym where i train jiu jitsu when in town. these things hurt. they punish the body.
2:20 pm
they make a person sore. fortunately, i had a knuckleheaded idea and a place to do it. cryotherapy. the latest in muscle recovery treatments. so far so good. >> dean: no. >> anthony: no? >> dean: this is a terrible restaurant, tony. >> anthony: basically, you step inside a big tube into which liquid nitrogen is pumped, chilling things down to a less than comfortable minus 300 degrees, you inherently convince your body that it's dying on the permafrost, causing it to kick loose all sorts of emergency, lifesaving, anti-inflammatory proteins, after which, you are supposed to feel better. if your fingers and penis don't shatter like hummel figurines. >> cryo worker: you did it. >> anthony: oh! all right! >> dean: oh. turn it off. whoa. >> anthony: well, how do you feel? >> dean: good luck. dying. in a good way, though. >> anthony: all right. so step right in? >> cryo worker: yeah, step in -- >> anthony: i don't like the way
2:21 pm
he looks. he looks unhappy. all right. >> cryo worker: sorry. did you notice how like the last 40, 50 seconds were the coldest? >> dean: yeah. >> cryo worker: pretty much his whole session is gonna be like that last 40, 50 seconds. >> anthony: oh the whole -- oh, great. >> cryo worker: the whole session. because you're doing second. >> anthony: oh yeah, that's uncomfortable. >> cryo worker: you're already in negative 306. >> anthony: oh yeah. it's bad. that's bad. that's not good. >> dean: you can do it. >> cryo worker: you feelin' all right? >> anthony: no, no, it's bad. oh, i gotta like rub some hot chicken all over my body. >> cryo worker: you're ten seconds in. >> anthony: oh! don't tell me that. >> cryo worker: but you see,
2:22 pm
he's already in negative 308. you didn't hit negative 306 and 308 till the last minute. >> anthony: how long have i got? >> cryo worker: you're not even halfway there. >> anthony: i'm not even halfway there. oh. >> dean: i'm trying to be helpful, but i can't even talk right now. >> cryo worker: yeah. >> anthony: how we doing for time? >> cryo worker: you're almost done. >> anthony: yeah, what's "almost" mean? >> cryo worker: ten seconds. >> anthony: is it really? >> cryo worker: yeah. you did good. >> anthony: wow. >> cryo worker: this is on level two, there's still a third level. >> anthony: level two. >> cryo worker: yeah, there's still one more level up. >> dean: what's the longest you can go in there? >> cryo worker: three minutes. >> dean: three minutes. >> cryo worker: watch your head, sir. >> anthony: wondered what it was like to have a micro-penis. [ laughter ] ooh, i feel all crispy. that was kind of awesome. freshly invigorated by our subzero experience, with newfound appetites to go with our newfound cryogenically induced superpowers, dean and i head over to city house, tandy wilson's place, for some pizza. >> dean: so would you say that what you've seen here is what you were expecting to find? >> anthony: i like it here. it's a friendly town. >> dean: it's friendly. i know we were -- i remember
2:23 pm
when we first came down here, we'd go to the gas station, people would say hello, and we'd be like -- >> anthony: yeah. >> dean: you know. >> anthony: that takes some getting used to. >> dean: what is that? >> anthony: yeah. i'm assuming she's half kidding, but alison said it's all about the car. she needed someplace to park the car. >> dean: why she moved here? >> anthony: yeah. >> dean: i totally believe that. >> anthony: you don't doubt that? >> dean: no. >> anthony: she does love that car. >> dean: right. >> anthony: i mean, as much as i talk about it, i would never buy a muscle car because once i start, it's like i would never be satisfied, i would, you know. you don't wanna be like jay leno with like 30 muscle cars. you know, let's face it, if you owned 30 classic muscle cars, there comes a point where people are gonna look at you and say, you know, "sorry about your penis." you know? there's something -- something ese going on here.

>> anthony: music is a $10 billion a year economy around here, employing more people than anywhere else in the country. its producers, its session artists, even the studios themselves are legendary. if you can make it as a working musician in nashville where there's anything but a shortage and standards high, you can pretty much make it anywhere. >> jason: lightning 100, this is jason moon. in the studio with us today, nashville artist margo price, "fader" magazine has called her nashville's favorite new badass. we agree, and she's here to play a couple new songs for us.

jack white and his brilliant and eccentric enterprise, third man records. third man's impact on the nashville music scene can't be understated. with an eclectic, unpredictable list of artists, reissues, and obsessions, they've tilted the town's axis a bit, making nashville the center, not just of country music, but also, what? of course, white has also produced albums for country music legends like loretta lynn, so if anything, they are reliably unreliable when predicting what they might do next. >> lab worker: let's get ready for a full take. >> anthony: right now, what comes next is margo price -- >> lab worker: we're gonna do another one. >> anthony: -- who's recording today at third man's live music venue, the blue room. the recording, a unique, one of a kind operation because it's all going directly to acetate. before digital, and before analog tape was used for mastering, disc recording was

thanks for playing. so, do places like this represent that the town has changed, or did they change the town? >> josh: when we opened this, i was amazed by the support that we got from people. people didn't want to hate us. they wanted to like it here. >> anthony: really? i mean, in new york, particularly if you come from out of town, we kind of want to hate you. i mean, we're not the cold-hearted town that people portray us to be, but especially if you're hot shit somewhere else, you're gonna have a real steep climb in new york. we are kind of hoping you're gonna fail, and if we can help you, we will. it's not like that here, from what i understand. carpet-bagging interlopers are welcome here in a way that they are not in a lot of places. >> josh: mm-hmm. >> anthony: whether it's music or restaurants or -- come here
