"The Chuck Wicks Show: Unhinged" is the no-holds-barred podcast version of The Chuck Wicks Show. The same heart, humour, and Nashville storytelling you love, but with the filter completely removed. Hosted by Chuck Wicks alongside Sami Shea, Unhinged goes where TV couldn’t: longer conversations, spicier opinions, behind-the-scenes chaos, real-life messiness, and all the moments that were definitely getting bleeped, cut, or politely “saved for later.”
#12: Lewis Brice, #ChuckForAnthem, and Sami's Car Troubles
Nashville is officially getting the Super Bowl, so Chuck and Sami waste no time launching the campaign the city really needs: #ChuckForAnthem. Sami also vents about her latest car repair after getting hit with a painful quote to fix her window switch, and the conversation turns to the rumors surrounding Nate Bargatze’s upcoming NATELAND theme park and what it could mean for Music City.
Then Lewis Brice joins the studio for an easygoing conversation about music, life, and finding your own path. Chuck and Lewis hit it off right away, swapping stories, laughs, and talking about Lewis’s latest single, “NASCAR Fast.” Want to hear it? Lewis performs the song exclusively for The Chuck Wicks Show’s social channels, so be sure to check it out there after the episode.

#11: Conner Smith, Chuck’s Christmas Movie Era, and Adam Levine’s New Face
Chuck and Sami start the episode catching up on Sami’s travels overseas and Chuck’s experience working on an upcoming Christmas movie, including a scene he was relieved didn’t make the final cut. They also get into Adam Levine’s new look and try to figure out whether he’s had work done or just changed up his style.
Later, Conner Smith stops by for a laid-back conversation about growing into his career, stepping out on his own to push his music, touring with Thomas Rhett, and figuring out what works best for him as an artist. It’s an easy, honest episode with plenty of laughs, a few tangents, and a good look at where Conner is headed next.

#10: Walker Montgomery, Summer Heat, and Sami’s Feet Finder Fortune
Chuck and Sami kick things off with the real issues of the season: the lovely summer weather, painful gas prices, and whether anyone can afford to leave the house without emptying their wallet. Naturally, the conversation takes a hard left into Feet Finder, where Sami’s webbed feet are suddenly discussed as a possible untapped gold mine.
Then Walker Montgomery stops by the studio—“Son of a Legend!”—to talk music, life, family legacy, and what it means to carve out his own lane in country music while carrying one of the most recognizable last names in the genre. It’s weird, warm, and wonderfully unhinged in all the right ways.

#9: Chase Wright, ACM Aftermath, and Fatherhood Feels
Chuck and Sami kick things off with a behind-the-scenes look at the ACMs—the chaos, the energy, and Sami’s first-hand experience inside the madness. From there, they get into whether Alabama has quietly become the new hotbed for country stars, and why great country songwriting doesn’t always have to be Pulitzer-level poetry—sometimes it just needs to be fun, honest, and something people want to sing along to.
The conversation takes a deeper turn as they discuss Love on the Spectrum and Chuck opens up about life as the father of a child with autism. Then Chase Wright swings by the studio, sparking an instant bromance with Chuck before the episode moves into one of its most heartfelt moments yet: a raw, emotional conversation about the beauty of fatherhood, the breakthroughs that mean everything, and the unexpected ways children on the spectrum can change the way you see the world.

#8: Craig Campbell, Cornhole Trash Talk & Country Music Reality
Craig Campbell joins Chuck and Sami for an episode that somehow covers CMA Fest, country radio politics, coffee shops, cornhole strategy, and one very grumpy songwriter.
Craig shares the story behind his growing Grindstone Cowboy coffee and restaurant business, opens up about the realities of chasing radio success as an independent artist, and reflects on why “Outskirts of Heaven” has become one of the most meaningful songs of his career. Along the way, Chuck and Sami take a nostalgic detour through early-2000s fashion, boy bands, and the highs and lows of life in country music.
Plus, the trash talk starts early as Craig and Chuck make their predictions for the upcoming Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge benefitting the Kenny Campbell Foundation.

#7: Julia Cole, Olivia Graduates, and Keith Urban smells incredible
In Episode 7, Chuck and Sami kick things off by giving Olivia genuine, post-college advice—what to focus on next, how to stay grounded, and how to step into the real world without losing yourself. They also get into what actually makes certain country artists truly special on stage—the moments, the work ethic, the “it” factor—shining a spotlight on Keith Urban’s ridiculous guitar talent… and, because it’s impossible to ignore, the strangely unforgettable fact that he smells amazing in person. Then Julia Cole stops by the studio for a candid catch-up on life, the grind, and what it’s really like building a career in country music.

#6: Cyndi Thomson, "Chucka Wicks", and Life on the Spectrum (with Sami Shea)
This Episode balances heart and hot takes as Chuck opens up with a deeply personal deep dive into parenting his son Tucker and what life on the spectrum has taught their family—equal parts honest, challenging, and full of love. From there, Chuck and Sami Shea jump into a real conversation about the culture wars in music: should an artist’s morals or political stance change whether you listen to them? Plus, the story behind Luke Combs naming his cat “Chicka Wicks”—and what that says about the Combs/Wicks connection. Then things come full circle when Cyndi Thomson drops by the studio—yes, that Cyndi Thomson—Chuck’s longtime celebrity crush—bringing music, memories, and a little playful chaos to cap off an unforgettable episode.

#5: Ashland Craft, AI Makeovers, and Country's Busiest Bachelor (with Sami Shea)
Chuck and Sami Shea kick things off with Sami’s latest experiment: AI bangs, ChatGPT “makeovers,” and the very real question of whether technology is helping… or quietly starting beef with her face. From there, the conversation slides into Riley Green’s romantic reputation and the stories swirling around “Country’s Busiest Bachelor” with a certain cheek clapping subplot riding shotgun in the same segment.
Then Ashland Craft stops by the studio to talk music, life on the road, and the grind of building a career in country, and she quickly proves to be a kindred spirit for Sami. Equal parts candid and hilarious, this episode is pure The Chuck Wicks Show: Unhinged—the stuff that would never make it to TV.

Bonus: Michael Ray (2025) "The Pilot Episode"
Before The Chuck Wicks Show Podcast officially launched, there was the pilot, and the very first guest to step up to the mic was country star Michael Ray. In this special throwback episode, Chuck revisits that original conversation and shares a never-before-released extended portion of the interview.
Michael Ray, the voice behind the hit “Whiskey and Rain” and multiple chart-topping country singles, has built a reputation as one of country music’s most dynamic performers, earning No. 1 songs, ACM recognition, and millions of streams along the way. In this extended cut, the conversation goes deeper with more stories, more laughs, and a few moments that probably should have stayed on the cutting room floor… but we’re sharing them anyway.
It’s a look back at where the podcast started, with the artist who helped kick it all off.
And don’t worry — The Chuck Wicks Show Podcast will be back next week with all-new episodes.
