Chuck starts off the episode with a huge announcement involving his newest hobby and we discuss some recent headlines in country music. Chuck then introduces a really cool guest who can sing AND he can cook! Andrew Jannakos is most famously known for his singing while cooking videos on TikTok and now he is signed to one of the biggest labels in Nashville! He talks about how he became TikTok famous and who convinced him to add the "Gone Too Soon" video that blew up overnight. Andrew also talks about his time on The Voice and shares which one of Chuck's songs he (almost) chose as a song at his own wedding. What's interesting about Andrew is that fans have really only seen Andrew from behind a screen...on TikTok and on TV on The Voice! Chuck is also shocked at how many songs he wrote before he wrote his song "Gone Too Soon."

Craig Campbell is one of the nicest guys and one of the best singers in the format, according to Chuck! We cover a lot of topics with Craig in this episode. He talks about the first job he had when he first moved to Nashville, why they wouldn't play his biggest song on the radio, what it's like to make an album as an Independent artist, and he shares a new song that no one has ever heard before! Chuck asks him about his real name (it's not Craig!), if he'd ever run for office, and and if he has a new album coming soon! Craig tells us the story of when he played piano for Luke Bryan and what happened after he got fired. You'll also learn how you could get Craig to play a show in your own backyard in this episode!
