In this special episode, we sit down with country music sensation Walker Hayes, who takes us through the journey of his smash hit, "Fancy Like." Walker shares the full scoop on how the song came to life, how it skyrocketed to fame, and the viral TikTok dance that turned it into a cultural phenomenon. He opens up about the aftermath of the song's success, from accolades to the whirlwind that followed. But it’s not just about the hit – Walker takes us through his incredible story of resilience. He talks about his fight with alcoholism and shares the struggles of nearly two decades of humiliation, poverty, and working at Costco before finally finding success. Walker also discusses his mission as a husband and father, the influence of legends like Jimmy Buffett, his love for Applebee's, and the unforgettable experience of playing at Red Rocks.
