Just Being ERNEST ERNEST

ERNEST is back in the studio to close out Season 3 with a solo episode. He starts things off by laying down his thoughts on some certain Christmas songs, talking about his passion for virtual reality, and opening up about his current "no alcohol" streak.

Next, Ern dives into his new single, Flower Shops (out everywhere now!), as he explains how the song came to be, what it means to him, and how Morgan Wallen ended up on the song with him. Then, he shares some appreciation for his fans, drops some hints about new music, and offers some insight into the future of JBE. Ern closes out the episode by playing another unreleased song LIVE in the studio.

Ask and you shall receive. This week's guest is our most requested guest, and he truly needs no introduction. But just in case you don't know... He's a good ole boy from Knoxville, one of Ern's best friends, and he was recently voted Country Music's favorite male artist: MORGAN WALLEN

Ern and Morgan dive into some talk about their old high school baseball days where they used to face off regularly; from Morgan and his team trolling Ern's dad to Morgan getting Tommy John surgery and having to quit baseball. Next, the two move into some discussion around music, how they met, their excitement for their upcoming shows together, as well as how Morgan feels being back on stage. Next, Morgan shares how he started playing guitar and writing music, and he dives into some detail behind the making of his historic album Dangerous.

The Big Loud Shirt, Craig Wiseman, is back in the studio for Part 2! What you will realize in Part 2 is that Craig's last name is quite fitting, as he is one extremely wise man.

Part 2 kicks off with laughs about PR training and the inspiration and soul that goes into songwriting. Then, Ern and Craig dive into some of Craig's biggest hits, such as "Live Like You Were Dying" and "The Good Stuff." Craig explains how each of those songs came to be and what the process of writing them was like. Next, Craig plays two verses of an iconic unreleased song that has been labeled a "career-ender," Craig crushes a ChugBud in the Truth or Chug segment, and ERNEST shares a hilarious story of a time he and HARDY were writing with Craig. The episode closes with some wisdom that you can't get anywhere else, a discussion on how to make it in Nashville, and how self-awareness is a curse that crushes all creativity. This is our wisest episode yet. Enjoy!

This week's guest is a fellow Big Loud artist and a JBE first-timer. He sucks at What Are The Odds, is a new father, and uses sayings you have never heard in your life: CHRIS LANE

All of our episodes are special, but this one hits a little different for some reason! You’ll have a six-pack by the end of this we promise.
Chris and Ern kick off the episode with a discussion about both being very new fathers, wine night, and Chris’ injury-prone behavior on the softball field. Next, they discuss Chris' early days as a cover band, his love for Jason Aldean, and what Chris' pre-show day looks like.

Our two dads wrap it up with some laughs from previous tour stories, the need for big dude models, and some freestyle rapping. Enjoy Episode 42 with Chris Lane!
