About this episode
One of our very favorite friends, Travis Cottrell , joins us on this week's episode (ALERT ALERT HE HAS A NEW ALBUM COMING OUT ON FRIDAY 7/21), and Melanie and I had the best time catching up with him. Travis tells us about what it's like to sing background vocals on the Grand Ole Opry (AS YOU DO), and he and Mel have a big discussion about some newer country artists they love to listen to. Also, I feel like I need to confess that I spent the last 30-ish minutes of this episode with my head on my desk because I was on the front end of a stomach virus and didn't know it at the time. Plus the site we use to record kept kicking me out of the recording and the last time I rejoined my microphone wasn't connected but who even cares because I was about to get in the bed anyway. NONETHELESS, we made it through - and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites - along with some favorites from Travis. - Join Us on Patreon - Our Amazon Shop Show Notes: - Travis' new album that comes out this Friday but we forgot to talk about it - three year-old who knows all the NFL themes - Grand Ole Opry - pretend background vocals on TikTok - Nashville Number System - Nathan Nockels' Everywhere the River Goes - Noah Kahan - Yacht Rock playlist - "Cruel Summer" by TSwift - William Beckmann on TikTok - Flamingo razor - Loving Tan 2-hour express tanner - AE Dreamy Drape high waist wide leg jeans - Zella Live-In pocket joggers - Olivia Georgia radio on Spotify - Molton Brown shower gel sampler set - Dot's Pretzels - cinnamon sugar and honey mustard - Vuori - Get Up! on ESPN - Jury Duty on Amazon Sponsors: - Mosh (use this link for 20% off plus free shipping on your first six-count trials pack) - KiwiCo (use code BIGBOO for 50% off any crate line plus free shipping) - Thrive Market (use this link for 30% off your first order plus a free $60 gift) - Stamps.com (use code BIGBOO for a four-week trial, free postage, and a free digital scale)
