In this first part of the conversation, Chad sits down with John Radzwilla, the man behind Hook & Barrel Magazine, to talk about real-life stuff. They get into everything: where you choose to live, how your values shape your decisions, what you spend money on, and the people you keep close. Nothing's off the table, from parenting, relationships, judgment, self-awareness, and the constant work it takes to grow without losing who you are. It’s two guys who’ve built their own lanes in the outdoor world, comparing notes on what matters and what doesn’t.

A very honest, easy conversation that’ll make you think about how you’re living, why you’re living that way, and what you want the next chapter to look like.

Chad sits down with John Rich, this month’s DemerBox Artist of the Month, for a deep conversation about the music business, creative freedom, and the fine line between success and significance. John talks about the birth of the Music Mafia, the rise of Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, and how Nashville’s sound and politics have shifted over the years. He talks about staying authentic, honoring the flag, and writing songs that mean something, even when they ruffle feathers.

We love how John Rich is unapologetically himself. He's outspoken, sharp, funny, and fearless.

If you believe real country music still needs a backbone, this one’s for you.

Chad sits down with Kevin Thomas, this month’s DemerBox Artist of the Month, to talk about country music and the way it’s meant to be!

They dig into what being an “outlaw” really means today: betting on yourself, staying authentic, and writing songs that come from the gut. Kevin shares his story, the sacrifices, the lessons, and the fire that keeps him chasing his sound on his own terms.

It’s a talk about music, mindset, and the grind that separates the dreamers from the doers.

If you still believe real country lives in the hands of independent artists, you’ll feel this one.

Chad’s riding the high of a Texas trip you don’t forget; good friends, legendary music, and a little time soaking up the kind of soul you only find in the Lone Star State.

He breaks down the spots you gotta hit, the food worth chasing, and the feeling of sharing life and laughter with Jamey Johnson, a man who writes with pain, pride, and fire in his gut.

There’s singing, storytelling, and a whole lot of gratitude for this crazy life.

Pull up a chair. Put your feet up. This one comes from the heart, and the honky-tonk.

In this episode, Chad shares a night that hit deep; a private look inside the heart and soul of Drake White and his band. From the camaraderie on the bus to the fire on stage, this one’s about resilience, gratitude, and the power of staying true to who you are.

He breaks down Drake’s story, his songs, and why the album Spark still stands as one of the most underrated records in country music. As always, Chad calls it like he sees it and gives tribute to Drake White, to the dreamers, and to everyone who knows the grind never quits!

Chad and Alex are back and breakin’ it all down! From the lost art of kids actually working for their fundraisers to how our personal info is floating around online. Chad learned what “drip” means (thanks to his daughter), and let’s just say… the fashion feedback wasn’t great.

They get into cyclists, city chaos, and planning spring training trips, and somehow still find time to talk fights, bikes, and what’s coming up this hunting season.

It's the perfect blend of everything that makes Breakin’ It Down what it is: raw, hilarious, and always a little unpredictable. This episode is brought to you by Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, Leer toppers, Oakley Sunglasses, and Pecos Outdoor!

Chad sits down with Brett Fritz, the man who’s built a reputation for asking the hard questions and diving deep into the stories most people stay away from.

From global politics to media headlines, from social influence to free speech and Charlie Kirk, Brett brings his unfiltered takes and unapologetic curiosity to the table. The conversation gets wild, thought-provoking, and sometimes even a little uncomfortable, but that’s what makes it worth hearing.

You don’t have to agree with everything he says to walk away thinking differently.

That’s the point.

So sit back, keep an open mind, and get ready for a ride that’ll make you question what you think you know.

In this episode, Chad sits down with Coach Jake McKinley from the University of Nevada, a coach who believes that sports are one of the best classrooms in life.

From the dugout to the locker room, Jake’s philosophy is simple: athletics build character, discipline, and leadership in ways that last far beyond the game. They talk about what it means to guide young athletes, how patience and honesty shape great teams, and why real coaching is about preparing people for life, not just competition.

They even get into the little things that make a big difference, and why Jake swears by Lululemon for those who live an active lifestyle.

It’s a real, grounded conversation about mentorship, mindset, and the kind of lessons that stick with you long after the scoreboard fades.

In this episode, Chad sits down with Yo Legroan from ReDirect Athletics in Reno, Nevada. Yo is a man whose mission goes way beyond sports. He isn’t just training athletes; he’s raising leaders. His passion is contagious, his mindset is relentless, and his belief is simple: everybody needs something, and everybody needs love.

The conversation gets real. From boxing as a metaphor for life, getting knocked down, getting back up, and training harder, to race, resilience, and the role of strong men guiding the next generation. Chad and Yo don’t shy away from the tough stuff. They dig into derogatory terms, cultural divides, and the mentors from different backgrounds who shaped them into who they are today.

This one is seriously raw, honest, and it’s the kind of talk that sticks with you. If you care about grit, accountability, and the future of our kids, this is one you can’t miss.

Chad and Alex are back at it, and this one doesn’t waste time. From the shine of car shows and riding motorcycles to the challenges of hunting big game, the guys cover it all. Alex lays down his love for motorcycles, while Chad pushes the conversation into the wild and back again.

Then the talk turns to freedom of speech, the secret service, and the fallout of celebrating the wrong thing at the wrong time, Security, and the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk. It’s important, and it's all on the table.

This is Breakin’ It Down at its core: funny, sharp, honest, a little reckless, and so important in today's world.
