Chad and Alex are back. Chad's been deep in true crime lately, and he can't stop. The Jinx. Making a Murderer. A 70-year-old man who got away with murder for 50 years until his DNA showed up on a baseball hat at the scene. From there it turns into rap, net worths, who stayed relevant, and why Dre is in a category nobody else is in. Then Reno traffic, bad bartenders, and Pyramid Highway. Chad might…
Chad and Brittany leave Austin and end up five minutes from Gruene Hall. Hayes Carll is recording a live album and Chad has a request list ready before they even walk in. He talks about what it means to stand in a room where George Strait shot his first album cover, and Willie Nelson has played. Hayes Carll takes the stage and the rest of the night disappears. From there it's Luckenbach on a…
Chad's back with part one of the Nebraska to Texas trip. It starts in Lincoln at the University of Nebraska Cornhusker volleyball camp, where Alyssa held her own against some serious competition and walked away with more to work on and more to be proud of. From there it's Waco and the Baylor Bears elite volleyball camp, Terry Black's barbecue, and dinner with Ted Nugent and Shemane that was…
Part 2 picks up right where Part 1 left off, and it gets more heated. The Iran deal takes center stage. Alex is over it. Brett explains the business strategy behind it and why $300 billion isn't just a handout. Chad defends Trump harder than anyone in the room expected. Clay drops the thought-provoking line no one wants to believe... maybe the swamp is just deeper than anyone thought. They get…
Chad's got Brett Fritz, Alex Crosby, and Clay Belding in the studio and they're not holding back. Brett still believes Trump was put here for a reason and that we're watching a movie play out in real time. The central casting references, the replacements, the mask theory, all of it. Chad's defending Trump to his own crew. Clay's quietly skeptical. And Alex is just trying to get a word in. They…
Dusty Tuckness has been voted into the National Finals Rodeo by the top bull riders in the world 17 years in a row. That's a record nobody else has touched. Chad sits down with Dusty the day after he took a hit — subluxed hip, stretched hammy, sprained MCL — and went back out and fought 11 more bulls that same night. They get into what it takes to step in front of an 1,800-pound animal that just…
Chad was side stage Saturday night for Chase Rice. Sunday night it was Dustin Lynch headlining the Drifters Festival, and he owned it from the first song. The audio was dialed in, and Dustin talked to the crowd, told stories, fired them up, and did a Toby Keith tribute that had the whole place going. Chad was there with Brittany, his other friend Brittany, and her husband Brad. They went backstage…
Chad just got home from side stage at the Drifters Music Festival in Reno, and he had to get on the mic. Chase Rice headlined. Brittany was there. So was Les Nesbitt at 85, Chad's brother Clay, his nephew Chase, and his lab, Jack, who may be the most famous dog in country music. They walked to the stage with Chase, stood side stage for the whole set, and spent over an hour on the bus after. Chad's…
Chad's got a new truck, a new boat, and a lot on his mind. The 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty is built out and beautiful — Avalanche Gray, Bodyguard bumpers, Mickey Thompson tires, Lear topper, the works. Thank you Corning Ford. Now that that's out of the way, Chad goes somewhere unexpected. Black Springs. Growing up poor. Brown bag lunches with cold spaghetti between two pieces of generic wheat…
Chad's solo on the mic with a lot on his mind and a few things he wants you to know about. First up is Freedom Hunters. Founded by Anthony Pace, Freedom Hunters gets returning veterans, active duty, and special forces out into the field. Hunting trips, fishing excursions, time in God's country. Chad's been in the blind with these warriors, and he'll tell you straight about how much it matters. The…
