Drew Baldridge came up in the music industry the hard way.

Michael & Paul sit down with Drew and talk about the early grind. Tour vans, playing anywhere that would have him and what happened when Drew lost his record deal right before the world shut down.

Instead of quitting, he started playing graduations during COVID, then built a backyard tour by DM’ing fans, cold-calling schools, and routing shows himself. Hundreds of backyards later, he had rebuilt his fanbase from the ground up.

Drew also tells the real story behind She’s Somebody’s Daughter — how it went viral, still got turned down by Nashville, and why he decided to hire his own radio team and push the song independently, eventually taking it to #1.

They get into the pressure of betting on yourself, starting a family while everything’s uncertain, and what it actually takes to keep going when there’s no safety net.

Just a real conversation about not quitting everyone needs to hear.

Michael & Paul sit down with Stuntman Troy and gets into how he went from wakeboarding and extreme sports… to getting paid to do stunts for a living. But what makes this episode hit isn’t just the action — it’s the mindset behind it.

We talk about:

• How Troy built his path from the ground up
• The importance of community, mentorship, and the right people around you
• What extreme sports looks like in the social media era
• Fatherhood, family life, and long-distance relationship realities
• The thrill (and real risk) of stunt work
• Troy’s experience working on Roadhouse and what it taught him

This episode is equal parts hilarious and inspiring — and it’s one of those conversations that’ll make you want to take a bigger swing in your own life.

Michael Ray and Paul take Offstage America on the road to Cadillac Creek Outfitters in Amarillo, Texas where the goose hunting has been an absolute massacre (we’re talking hundreds of birds and nonstop action). But the real reason this episode hits? The table talk.

This is the biggest group episode so far: police officers, a pastor, and one guy who may or may not be John Daly’s caddy…all swapping stories, roasting each other, and taking the conversation exactly where hunting camp conversations always go: completely off the rails.

Inside the episode:

• The Cadillac Creek goose hunt recap (pure chaos, crazy numbers)
• Why the camp hang is sometimes better than the hunt itself
• Faith, family, addiction, and the real stuff men don’t say out loud enough
• Michael on what hunting gave him in 2025 — clarity, healing, and getting back to center
• A moment of perspective that turns into an honest conversation about God, responsibility, and using your platform for something bigger
• Closing the episode the only way hunting camp should: a prayer and a toast

If you’ve ever been part of a hunting camp… this will feel like home.
If you haven’t… welcome to the madness.
