Artist and good friend of the show, Michael Ray joins the guys as they reflect on the profound ways natural disasters have impacted small towns and the unity that often emerges afterward. We explore Michael's experience with a show cancellation due to a hurricane, sparking reflections on the severe flooding in the Carolinas and drawing empathy-filled parallels with past events like the Nashville flood. Through personal stories, we ponder the unpredictable nature of these events and the resilience they demand from affected communities.

Our conversation takes a nostalgic turn as Michael shares his music career journey, from performing at local bars to a pivotal moment opening for a sold-out show in Lakeland, Florida. We look at the contrast between the traditional grassroots rise in the music world and today's digital age of social media discovery. Through Michael's anecdotes, we highlight the grit and determination once needed and the unexpected opportunities that can propel a career forward, all underscored by stories of resilience and perseverance.

In the final chapters, we celebrate the unique alchemy of music creation, from studio magic to song selection. Michael discusses the pressures of collaboration and the thrill of hoping songs resonate with both artists and audiences. We also honor the dedication of first responders and military personnel, drawing from Michael's family's history of service. This episode is a heartfelt tapestry of tales that underscore the importance of community, family, and the selflessness of those who serve and protect.

We kick things off with some lighthearted banter about over-preparing, giant bongs, and the NSAI awards, where our song was honored among the "10 Songs I Wish I'd Written." Performing for the first time at the historic Ryman Auditorium was nothing short of humbling, especially with our peers recognizing our work despite its political nuances. The acoustic set, performed with minimal resources and technical support, provided plenty of laughs and challenges, but also highlighted our gratitude for our backstage teams.
