    Riley Green on Rise to Fame, Off Stage Stories, Getting into Acting | Episode 100!

    We’re celebrating a huge milestone (Episode 100!) and we couldn’t think of a better guest to mark the moment than country music powerhouse Riley Green. From small-town roots to sold-out shows, Riley joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on what it really takes to build a lasting career in country music, without losing who you are along the way. We dive into the rise of Riley Green, the moments that still feel unreal, and the many lanes he’s carving out beyond music. From stepping into the acting world, to living out his athlete dreams by hitting dingers at MLB parks, to launching his bourbon brand The Duck Club, Riley proves he’s more than just a hitmaker. Riley shares unforgettable “pinch me” moments with Pat McAfee and Jimmy Fallon, his deep appreciation for CASE KNIVES, and how songs like “You Look Like You Love Me” were created. We also talk songwriting, artists catching his eye, sliding in the DMs, and why home keeps him grounded no matter how big things get. Plus, Riley steps into the hot seat for Give ‘Em the Boot presented by TECOVAS, steps into the shoes of a podcast host, and lays out what 2026 has in store.
