Chad just got back from Tennessee, and he's not over it yet. Good luck getting him over it. Nashville first, from Barrett Hobbs, the Scoreboard, the Nashville Palace, dinner at the Detroit Cowboy with Chef Marino throwing down on steaks and lobster, then straight to Kid Rock's Honky Tonk with a VIP section right above the band. That's how you do Music City. Then Lynchburg. The Jack Daniel's distillery. Barrel selection with 24 people, the biggest group selection Clint Bailey and Josh Phillips had ever done. Drilling straight into a nine-year-old barrel in a rickhouse, lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's, shopping at the hardware store, and a sunset dinner on the hill with cigars and rocking chairs made from actual barrel wood. Hank Jr., Waylon, Randy Travis, and Don Williams playing softly in the background straight from his friend's guitars. Chad also gets into the single-barrel program and why you should seriously look into getting one for your family, your company, and your legacy. The details on that are worth the listen alone. This one's a trip. Pour something good and come along for it.

Hunters don't really talk about recovery. You just go. Early mornings, cold water, miles of walking, hauling decoys, doing it again the next day. But the body keeps score whether you're paying attention or not. Chad's solo this week is talking about something he put on his property that's been changing that equation. Almost Heaven sauna. It turns out that name's earned. He gets into what the sessions look like, what's shifted in his sleep, his recovery, and the way he feels going into the next season. Coming from a guy who lives hard and found something that helps him keep living that way, this one could change your life! Why invest in yourself? Why does it matter? Chad's got some real thoughts on that, and after this one, you might be shopping for saunas. Almost Heaven. Turns out it's not just a name! This episode is brought to you by Almost Heaven Saunas, TKO Vitality, GATR Coolers, Zline appliances, Corning Ford, Nashville Palace, and Oakley Standard Issue.

Brett Fritz is back, and this one goes straight into the deep end. They get into the Epstein files, what’s actually in them, and why certain things get released when they do. Brett breaks down how he sees it. From the delays, the names, to the bigger picture behind all of it. From there, it rolls into politics, Minnesota, immigration, and how stories get pushed, buried, or redirected depending on who’s in control. They talk media, government, and the idea that not everything is what it looks like on the surface. Some of it you’ll agree with. Some of it you won’t. But one thing is for sure, it will get you thinking!

Chad and Alex are back with another Breakin’ It Down episode, recapping a spring training trip that didn’t leave much time for slowing down. From bouncing between games all day to long nights in Scottsdale, they get into what that pace actually looks like. From the spots they hit, what’s worth it, what’s not, and why people keep going back for more. They talk nightlife, baseball, getting older, and still trying to keep up, and stories that only happen when you pack too much into a few days. It also turns into a real conversation about energy, work, and what it takes to live a life like this, and whether it’s something most people would even want. Just a couple of guys breakin' it all down!

Chad and Alex are back for another Breakin' It Down, and this one covers some ground. It starts with a conversation about appearance. How people carry themselves, what effort means, and whether it even matters once you’re in a long-term relationship. From there, they get into confidence, attraction, and what actually keeps two people together over time. Then it takes a turn. Politics, trust in leadership, frustration with the system, and the feeling a lot of people have right now, trying to sort through what’s real, what’s not, and where things are headed. It's a reminder that not everyone behind a microphone has all the answers, and maybe that’s the point in this whole thing. That’s Breakin' It Down.

Chad and Alex are back, Breakin' It Down, and this one goes from seasons and weather to spring training, Scottsdale traditions, baseball trips, bars, steakhouses, and whether this really is the best time of year. They get into Tahoe, hunting season versus spring, the Waste Management Open, spring training plans, nightlife, travel habits, and what a perfect trip actually looks like once you’re not 25 anymore. There’s some Giants talk, a little Mexico talk, and plenty of the usual back and forth about drinking, getting older, and how much energy you really want to spend going hard every night. It’s one of those episodes that feels like the conversation you have before the trip starts. With a little planning, a little reminiscing, and a lot of opinion.

Chad Belding is back behind the mic for a solo episode after an awesome trip to Nashville, Tennessee. Music City has exploded over the last decade, and nowhere is that more obvious than on Broadway. What used to be a strip known for gritty honky-tonks and legendary live music is now packed with massive venues, celebrity-owned bars, and crowds from all over the world. Chad shares his thoughts on how Nashville has changed, the rise of star-branded establishments from some of country music’s biggest names, and the places that still manage to keep the authentic spirit of the city alive. From late-night stages at Tootsie’s to the ever-growing skyline of Broadway, this episode dives into the evolution of one of America’s most iconic music towns and asks a simple question: when a place grows this fast, can it still hold on to what made it special in the first place?

Chad just got home from Nashville after a trip with Brittni and a night at Chief’s watching Chase Rice play an intimate set. It was the kind of night that sticks with you. Chad talks about Chase, their friendship, and the artists he’s always respected, like Eric Church, Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Chris Young, and Garth Brooks. The ones who’ve done things their own way and built real careers. It starts out as a Nashville recap, but by the end, Chad gets into something a little deeper about business, risk, and building something you believe in. One of those episodes that kind of sneaks up and stays with you! This episode is proudly presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, and brought to you by GATR coolers and drinkware, The Nashville Palace, Scoreboard Nashville, Mickey Thompson tires and Wheels, Corning Ford, ZLINE Appliances, and Bodyguard Bumpers.
