  • E500 - Ladder To The Sky - An Interview With Drake White on His Upcoming Documentary
    In this episode, Chad sits down with his good friend and country music artist Drake White for an honest, powerful, and deeply inspiring conversation. Drake has a documentary coming out in a couple of weeks on his incredible and inspiring journey.
    He opens up about the life-changing stroke that nearly ended everything for him. Paralyzed and facing an uphill battle, he leaned on grit, faith, determination, and an unwavering love of the outdoors to fight his way back. His story is one of comeback, resilience, and refusing to let life define him.
    Chad and Drake talk about family, music, pain, healing, and the mindset it takes to push through when the odds are stacked against you. Drake’s message is bigger than music. It’s about living with purpose and inspiring others to rise above their own struggles.
    If you’ve ever needed proof that the human spirit can overcome anything, this is it.

  • E499 - Movies, Media, and the Sandler Effect - Breakin' It Down
    Chad and Alex are back! This time they’re tearing into the modern media mess like only they can. From doom-scrolling binges to Netflix specials, they get into: Are movies still as good as they used to be? Or have lower budgets and higher expectations killed the magic?
    They unload Adam Sandler’s career arc. From the Happy Gilmore glory to whatever dropped last week that makes you laugh your butt off.
    The guys have their usual takes on old-school music that still hits the gut, laughs that sneak up on you, and enough cultural critique to light a bonfire.
    Chad and Alex don’t tiptoe. They rip open how we consume media today and whether it's even worth buying a ticket to see the old rockstars still going hard.
    Pour that Jack, take a seat, and let’s do this.

  • E496 - Joey Gilbert: No Excuses - Living Life With Optimized Health Part 1
    Chad sits down with Joey Gilbert: retired pro boxer, Reno, Nevada attorney, and the kind of guy who attacks life with grit, focus, and zero excuses.
    Joey’s journey led him to becoming the co-founder of TKO Vitality, where he’s all-in on the mission of helping people take charge of their health, physically, mentally, and hormonally. From testosterone replacement to estrogen in our water supply, Joey breaks down what’s really going on and what you can do to fight back for your body.
    In this two-part episode, they get into the truth about nicotine, including what the latest science says about Zyns, and it might surprise you. Joey also talks about his close friendship with Sylvester Stallone, and how “Sly’s” influence helped shape the mindset Joey lives by today: get it done, no matter what.
    The guys get into anti-aging, regenerative health, and the idea that feeling your best isn’t out of reach anymore. The world is waking up, and Joey is on the frontlines of that shift.

  • E495 - Will Moseley - From Hazlehurst to the American Idol Stage - DEMERBOX Artist of The Month
    Chad sits down with Will Moseley, Georgia native and runner-up from American Idol Season 22, for a conversation that dives into real country music grit.
    Will didn’t grow up chasing fame; he dreamt of being a football player. After sustaining a few substantial injuries, he left football after college, picked up a guitar, and discovered something deeper in writing songs. When he played his song “Gone for Good,” he stunned the American Idol judges and won the hearts of Americans instantly. He earned a golden ticket to Hollywood, and stuck with it all the way to the finale—earning major praise from Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie.
    Chad and Will touch on what it’s like to go from Hazlehurst fields to national stages, to write songs that feel honest, and what it takes to make it these days.
    If you’ve heard “Everything But Me” or “It’s You,” this one gives you the man behind those songs. If Will’s new to your playlist, you’re still about to feel why his sound is turning heads, and you need to check him out!
    As expected from our Demerbox Artist of the Month Series, this one is real; Real stories, real voice, real country.

  • E494 - Josh Phillips - Dirt Cheap, Song of The Year - DEMERBOX Artist of The Month
    You’ve probably heard his name. If not, you’ve definitely heard his words.
    Josh Phillips is the songwriter behind “Dirt Cheap”—the track Cody Johnson took to No. 1, and the one that just won ACM Song of the Year. But Josh isn’t chasing the spotlight. He’s a North Carolina boy who writes songs that come from a real place, and that truth shows up in every line.
    In this episode, Josh sits down with Chad for a raw conversation about the highs, the heartbreak, and the hard decisions that come with a life in music. He’s toured with some of the biggest names in the game, played the biggest stages, and still walked away, realizing that life on the road wasn’t worth missing time with his family back home.
    This one is about the late nights and long drives that shape a songwriter, and the kind of moments that never make it into a press release.
    If you love country music, that actually means something; this one’s for you.

    You know Tom Kubiniec as the brilliant and innovative mind behind SecureIt gun safes. But what you don’t know is the wild, untold story of his past life in the music world.
    In this episode, Tom and his son Charles sit down with Chad for a conversation that dives into the rock & roll years. From parties with Guns N’ Roses to late-night parties with legends, Tom opens up about his journey that most people have never heard.
    Charles steals the show with some hilarious, on-point impressions of iconic celebrities, while Tom and Chad break down what makes bands like AC/DC so timeless—and how some bands, (yes, even the big ones) made fans furious.

  • E492 - Open Lines and No Filters, Breakin' It Down With Chad and Alex
    The boys are back in town, and Breakin’ It Down!

    This one covers some serious ground, and you’re gonna want to hang on for the whole ride.
    From AI and social media madness to grammar, concerts, and Deadhead culture, Chad kicks things off with his recent trip to The Sphere in Vegas to see Bob Weir and John Mayer tear it up live. But when the questions about rock ‘n roll start flying, there’s only one man to call for answers: Uncle Ted Nugent.
    Chad picks up the phone and gets the straight truth from the Motor City Madman himself.
    From there, the guys talk about what’s really happening in downtown Reno, from Narcan bins to homelessness, and the pressure of being a business owner in a city that’s changing fast without any real support for hard-working people.
    They don’t shy away from the tough stuff. From politics to family, to regret, to what it really means to want something more out of life. They talk about age gaps in relationships, real connection, and speaking from a place most people are way too shy to speak on.
    As usual, it’s honest, hilarious, raw, and all-gas-no-brakes, and it might be one of the most interesting episodes yet!

  • E491 - The Champion Mindset, with Heavyweight Wrestler Wyatt Hendrickson
    In this episode, Chad sits down with Wyatt Hendrickson, one of America’s top heavyweight wrestlers, to dig into what it really takes to live the lifestyle of a champion. From his diet to his training, Wyatt doesn’t clock in and out. He’s all-in, all the time.
    They talk about why wrestling is the foundation of so many elite athletes and why it’s one of the most physically demanding sports on the planet. Wyatt shares how he's built his confidence, how hard he works to hit his goals, and what those goals look like.
    They also break down the mental side of the grind: the perception, mindset, and consistency all play a part in building a competitor that doesn’t break.
    And of course, Chad puts him on the spot with a big question: Who’s on Wyatt’s Mount Rushmore of Wrestling?
    This one’s all about discipline, belief, and chasing greatness on and off the mat.
