Ep. 1: Wigwams, Stolen Deer, and Pouring Concrete with Josh “Crispy Cartwheel” Thompson

This week in God’s Country, Dan and Reid Isbell are joined by multi-platinum and award winning singer-songwriter Josh “Crispy Cartwheel” Thompson to talk about the rut, how to balance fatherhood and the instinct to be in the wild, and Josh's father encouraging him to stop pouring concrete and chase the neon rainbow to Nashville. Dan tells a long-winded story about his hunting trip to New Zealand and Europe with Luke Combs (he did not hunt any kangaroos), and the guys discuss Josh’s almost-Olympics-worthy gymnastics career. Most importantly, if you are suspicious of an 11-point buck with a 23-inch spread in your uncle’s barn, in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, please dial 1-800-FIND-CRISPYS-DEER or email us at godscountrypodcast@themeateater.com so we can investigate further!
