<description>They don’t get much more country than Shane Profitt. The “Long Live Country” singer talked to Evan Paul about (6:15) ditching a girl to chase his dream at a sushi restaurant, (10:01) living near Luke Bryan and how his parents’ divorce inspired his most personal song. 

Shane brought his fiancee and their puppy to the interview, which just speaks to the kind of guy he is. There’s no ego here, even though his list of cell phone contacts runs very deep. Look for big things from him in 2026. 

Billy Dukes (18:45) is also in for the Night Cap, as always.

American Idol Winner Iam Tonga + Vincent Mason

<description>RaeLynn visits with Evan Paul for the very first time to talk about her new Christmas Ep, ‘Jingle Jangle Rock.’ She is back on a major label after going independent for several years and It’s refreshing to hear her talk about the full-circle moment. 

Blake Shelton was an early supporter of RaeLynn’s after they were on ‘The Voice’ together and during this interview she remembers getting a $40,000 check when she needed it most. She’s also got great stories of Jason Aldean, Kane Brown and more. Plus, with the holidays coming up we had to ask her about her Elf On the Shelf game.

RaeLynn Recalls the Blake Shelton Check That Saved Her

<description>Jamie O’Neal is celebrating the 25th anniversary of of “There Is No Arizona” so we thought (1:01) it was the perfect time to ask how she looks back on this massive hit. She tells Evan Paul that — surprisingly — people still have misconceptions. 

In the early 2000s, (11:04) Jamie opened for Alan Jackson and forged friendships with artists like Martina McBride that still thrive today. If you grew up on this generation of country music you’ll love hearing from her. 

After Jamie, it’s (17:46) Annie Bosko with the dish on her unlikely Dwight Yoakam friendship and why she totally lost her mind meeting Shania Twain. Then the (32:00) Night Cap with Billy Dukes. 

Also mentioned in this podcast episode: Kenny Chesney, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Dolly Parton, George Strait and more.
