26 MAY 2026 · Wayne D catches up with one of country music’s most consistent hitmakers, Jordan Davis—and the timing couldn’t be better. Fresh off another No. 1 song at country radio (“Bar None,” his ninth chart-topper), Jordan reflects on what these milestones mean at this stage of his career and why the wins feel even sweeter now. https://countryswag.com/jordan-davis-number-one-bar-none/, https://countrynow.com/jordan-davis-scores-ninth-no-1-with-bar-none-preps-new-single-turn-this-truck-around/ The conversation goes beyond the charts, though, as Jordan opens up about one of the most important relationships in his life and career—his friendship with Thomas Rhett. What started as a collaboration has turned into something much deeper. Jordan shares how the two talk regularly, often about life, family, and the realities of balancing a growing career with being a husband and dad. In fact, he jokes that Thomas Rhett has become something like a “therapist,” someone he leans on for perspective when life gets overwhelming. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/jordan-davis-says-aint-bad-100001609.html, https://southernillinoisnow.com/2026/01/20/the-outlook-that-guides-jordan-davis-thomas-rhett-when-it-comes-to-career-family/ He also explains how that friendship has impacted him professionally—having someone who’s “been there” helps him stay grounded and focused on what really matters. Whether it’s navigating success, raising kids, or just stepping away from the business side of music, Jordan says Rhett is the kind of friend who brings him back to center. https://southernillinoisnow.com/2026/01/20/the-outlook-that-guides-jordan-davis-thomas-rhett-when-it-comes-to-career-family/ Wayne D keeps it real and conversational, digging into the stories behind the music, the friendships that fuel it, and the perspective Jordan’s gained along the way. From celebrating another No. 1 to opening up about life off stage, this episode gives fans a genuine look at the man behind the hits—and the friendships that help shape them.

Ashley shares how a chance moment on stage with him years ago helped change her career, and how that connection has turned into a full-circle friendship… including now having her bar inside his Nashville venue. https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2025/08/10/how-ashley-mcbrydes-breakthrough-story-with-eric-church-isnt-as-simple-as-its-played-out-to-be/, https://www.billboard.com/music/country/ashley-mcbryde-bar-inside-eric-church-chiefs-nashville-1236035167/ It’s funny, honest, a little deep, and totally Ashley—exactly the kind of conversation you don’t want to miss.
