## Caption

Riley Green is our first guest on Takes Us Out for the first episode of season 2 to talk his new album 'That’s Just Me' over steak at Smith & Wollensky in New York City, digging into songwriting and tracklist choices, why he wanted more “tempo and fun” on the record, and what’s next — from *The Voice* and potential duets to acting. Along the way, he shares his go-to order (ribeye, medium/medium rare), how he cooks steak at home (salt, pepper, butter, plus a Traeger finish), the story behind "Think As You Drunk”—his Toby Keith tribute made with the blessing of Keith’s family—and names Brooks & Dunn as his dream collaboration before closing with a rapid-fire “Discourse” round you won’t want to miss.
