The afternoon my daughter was born the first song I sang while holding her, was Wondering Why as her mother was in the hospital bed. That song will always hold a special place in heart

[@dustingaddis2423]

When we were in the hospital when our little one was born, the 2nd night, she was screaming bloody murder, wasn't hungry, wasn't hot, wasn't cold, diaper was clean. Nothing could get her to calm down. I played Sturgill's "Welcome to Earth" and she calmed right down and fell asleep in my arms. It was the first time I was able to do something directly for her to make her feel good. That moment comes back every time I hear that song.

[@ptyeueiiwjd]

[@Kacey90]

@@j.a.r.family2576 what do you mean? I read your comment after I finished the video, so I’m wondering where “they played a sample” in this video. Sometimes people will play a little guitar during the podcast, so I thought maybe I had missed it. Everyone’s brain works differently, the “weirdo” comment was unnecessary, I was trying to get clarification, maybe you misunderstood my intent.

Echoing Travis Schaefer’s note. We’re in this together brother with the same problems. You got this and never be afraid to ask for help anywhere.

[@suzannemarie86]

Talk to God. As crazy as it sounds. Go out into nature, on your own, and just ask for help - and listen to what He says. If you give your heart and life to Jesus, you can be saved. It happened to me and millions of others. God bless you, bro. Don’t give up. You’re worth saving.

I was so happy to see this! Theo interviewing my favorite new band! "Wondering Why" is just perfect, especially the Western AF version. So funny to hear they were not happy with that album - it's way better than most everything else out there! Can't wait to hear the new one. They are like one of those bands from the '70s, when music was at its best. If this gets enough momentum, this can turn around the decay in music that has been getting worse for a few decades now (all of my life! 🤣)

[@amberparker9883]

Idk how they can NOT like that album. It's some of the best music I've ever heard. Actually the 1st song on this new album, I wasn't crazy about. Devil in My Ear is AWESOME though.
