  • Ep. 67: The Best Thing You Can Buy from Costco, Smoked Deer Chili Tips, and Touring as a Family with Russell Dickerson
    Mar 4 2025

    This week Reid and Dan host multiplatinum artist and fellow West Tennessean, Russell Dickerson out in God's Country. First order of business covered by the guys are the best items you can buy from Costco and why Russell will never part ways with his covetted purchase. Dan takes the lead (shocker) and is mad at 4 extremely petty things, but also develops a billion dollar idea with Russell and Reid along the way. They dive in on how to make hunting trips successful with young kids and Russell shares a trick on how to make your deer chili next level. The three of them list out the 10 items they would bring to survive on an island and the segment goes extremely awry, but practical when you think about it. RD shares his love for touring, how he keeps it sustainable with his family, and what is next for Russell in 2025. The episode ends with an R&B twist on a 90's classic that will have you wanting the track to be released ASAP.

Fun!

Awesome hearing all the types of stories, the brother banter and the encouragement to get new people hunting. The attempts to drop the "if it ain't a 150+ class deer it ain't worth shootin"
