Summary
Koe Wetzel sits down with Bunnie Xo for one of his most honest conversations yet. From East Texas dive bars to sold-out arenas, Koe opens up about the changes that transformed his life—cutting back on drinking, getting healthy, becoming a dad, and creating his new album, Night Champion . He shares stories from his wild early days, growing up in a musical family, playing college football, getting kicked out of school, spending time in jail, and taking the ultimate gamble on a music career when everything started to take off. Koe and Bunnie dive into the highs and lows of touring, the pressure of success, and why Night Champion feels like the closing chapter on the last decade of his life. He talks about writing deeply personal songs, the story behind "The Man" (including a live snippet), and why being vulnerable with fans has become more important than ever. Koe also opens up about reconnecting with Bailey, their engagement, welcoming their daughter Woods, and how becoming a girl dad completely changed his perspective. Plus, the two swap tour stories, debate the worst hangover cities, celebrate Texas roots, and wrap things up with a rapid-fire round that proves Koe is still Koe.
