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.

E502 - Rap, Whiskey, and No Invitations Comin' - Breakin' It Down
Chad and Alex are back behind the mics, and it’s the usual hilarious chaos. They tear into rap artists, lyrics, and what really holds up, before drifting into whiskey, exotic food, and backstage stories with Cody Cannon of Whiskey Myers. Hunting dinners, missing life’s big moments, and what it takes to balance the grind with everything else all make their way into the mix.
And then there’s the car show. Alex thinks it's awesome, Chad thinks it's lame. But the funniest part is when Chad calls Alex out for never inviting him anywhere, while Chad invites Alex to everything.
It’s another raw, hilarious, and unfiltered episode that makes Breakin’ It Down what it is.
