Kaitlin Butts sits down with Bobby to break down how “You Ain’t Gotta Die” went from a song in her set to the one people show up already knowing—thanks to a viral moment, a karaoke run-in, and a soundcheck decision that unexpectedly changed everything. She talks about why the track feels cathartic to sing, what it’s like hearing a crowd belt it back, and how leaning into vulnerability on stage has become the whole point. Plus: growing up between city life and Oklahoma country life, navigating industry attention after the song popped, and why being fully yourself is the only strategy that lasts.

Cody Johnson stops by to talk about the scariest kind of setback for a singer: damaging his ear and wondering if his voice would ever feel the same again. He walks Bobby through the surgery, the unexpected upside of vocal rest, and what it’s like recording a new album after that kind of fear. Then it gets real-life Cody growing up near Huntsville, Texas, sneaking into bars at 14 to sing, and the no-plan-B moment that pushed him to chase music for real. Bobby also digs into Cody’s unique perspective from being around the prison world through his dad’s job, including what people get wrong about it and what actually happens day to day. Plus: the rodeo lifestyle, building his ranch, the Houston Rodeo break, riding out on a horse, and why entertaining a crowd still feels like a drug.
