    Ep. 19: Dave Simonett on Getting Your Kids Outside, the Boundary Waters, and Trampled By Turtles

    This week Dan and Reid Isbell host Trampled by Turtles front man, Dave Simonett, out in God’s Country. Dave provides some incredible information about the Boundary Waters up north and the importance of getting your kids outside even though it isn’t always easy. They discuss how ethical hunting should be looked at as a practice in conservation and Dave shares what it was like to become a hunter later in life. Dave also discusses how impactful music has been on him and tells the hilariously underwhelming story of why his band landed on the name Trampled by Turtles.

    Ep. 18: Luke Laird on Eric Church, the Cool Chips, and Hunting with a Recurve Bow

    This week Dan and Reid Isbell host music row legend Luke Laird out in God’s Country.  Luke shares an epic story of driving to write with Eric Church and having to stop on the way to buy a new truck so he’d make it to the write. Luckily for him, the song they wrote on that trip ended up being a Grammy-nominated track. The guys discuss where Luke’s love for hunting with a recurve bow comes from and how another music row legend, Rhett Atkins, is his go-to for helping him track deer. Luke has over 20 No. 1 songs and is definitely the man behind several songs you know and love.
