Recorded: March 4th 2024 | In this weeks episode the boys are here to talk about everything that happened over the weekend. The guys get into the Drake vs Kendrick Lamar rap beef and talk about who’s side they are on, the meaning behind some of the lyrics and who is winning. The guys also talk about the roast of Tom Brady that was on Netflix from Sunday. They recap some of the funnier jokes, who crushed it and the random people that were there enjoying it all.

Following the intro the guys were joined by long time friend but first time guest and one of the main members of Florida Georgia Line, Tyler Hubbard. The boys and Tyler get into what it was like blowing up so quickly with FGL along with the ins and outs of the music business. As we all know, FGL is no longer so the majority of the time the guys are talking about what happened between him and Brian Kelly. Tyler talks about how he didn’t want them to break up and how it legitimately felt like a marriage. The boys end the pod talking about Tyler’s solo career and the challenges that not being a part of a group has brought. Tyler has been on an absolute roller coaster ride throughout his a career and he takes us through every twist and turn. Big hugs, tiny kisses.
