    #583 - Ashley McBryde on Rehab after Almost Dying, Recovery & Opening a NA Bar on Broadway

    Country music star Ashley McBryde sits down with Bobby and gets real about the lyrics that forced her to admit she wasn’t okay and the moments that followed when her drinking went from “after the show” to off the rails. She walks him through the intervention-style wake-up call, what it felt like to actually stay in rehab, and the tools she had to learn just to be around alcohol again. Plus, Ashley talks about the identity shift from being the whiskey-drinking badass to making sober music, why she believes stage choices can hurt more than just one person, and how her new N/A bar on Broadway has turned into an unexpected safe space—especially when fans walk in having no idea she might be there.

    #580 - Mariana van Zeller on Gaining Cartel Trust, Scammers & US Drug Crisis

    #579 - Milo Ventimiglia on His First Big Yes, Gilmore Girls & This Is Us

    Actor Milo Ventimiglia sits down with Bobby and shares what he learned working alongside Will Smith, then breaks down the TV breakthroughs that changed his life—from getting on the map with Gilmore Girls to launching into a whole new stratosphere with This Is Us. He also gets real about the “99 no' before a yes” grind, how he memorizes lines, and when you’re allowed to ad-lib (and when a set won’t let you change a single word). Plus, the unexpectedly hilarious side of Milo: Blue Angels stories, “chirping,” and why he has very strong opinions about passing out mid-flight and what it was like learning to sing for a new role when vocals weren’t even in his bag of tricks.

    #577 - Kaitlin Butts on “You Ain’t Gotta Die” Going Viral + Stage Vulnerability

    Kaitlin Butts sits down with Bobby to break down how “You Ain’t Gotta Die” went from a song in her set to the one people show up already knowing—thanks to a viral moment, a karaoke run-in, and a soundcheck decision that unexpectedly changed everything. She talks about why the track feels cathartic to sing, what it’s like hearing a crowd belt it back, and how leaning into vulnerability on stage has become the whole point. Plus: growing up between city life and Oklahoma country life, navigating industry attention after the song popped, and why being fully yourself is the only strategy that lasts.

    #576 - Cody Johnson on Ear Injury Recovery, Rodeo Life & What Prison Is Really Like

    Cody Johnson stops by to talk about the scariest kind of setback for a singer: damaging his ear and wondering if his voice would ever feel the same again. He walks Bobby through the surgery, the unexpected upside of vocal rest, and what it’s like recording a new album after that kind of fear. Then it gets real-life Cody growing up near Huntsville, Texas, sneaking into bars at 14 to sing, and the no-plan-B moment that pushed him to chase music for real. Bobby also digs into Cody’s unique perspective from being around the prison world through his dad’s job, including what people get wrong about it and what actually happens day to day. Plus: the rodeo lifestyle, building his ranch, the Houston Rodeo break, riding out on a horse, and why entertaining a crowd still feels like a drug.
