This is an IHeart podcast.

Everyone talks about being some outlaws.

Me and you, this is some outlaw.

Welcome to episode 550 with Aaron Watson. A couple things. You go to Aaron Watson.com and he's doing, well, it's shows that he still has left on his tour, but also an Aaron Watson family Christmas tour, which we do talk about later on. I think the reason it was fun to get Aaron on is we got into a pretty big fight. I didn't realize it was like eight years ago. And it wasn't even a real fight because to me everything's wrestling. And a lot of feuds, even when I do them, are for promotional reasons. But no, we get into it. And I thought that was good. I like Aaron. I think he's been killing it on social media. Think about Aaron. He is a major name in like Texas or red dirt or just general country music, but he's built

his career independently without relying on a major label.

And that's a big part of who he is.

It's a big part of his musical identity.

And we talk about that.

So I enjoyed this.

I hope you enjoy it.

It's Aaron Watson on Instagram at Aaron Watson Music. And here he is. Episode 550, Aaron Watson. Aaron, good to see you, buddy. Hey, it's good to be here. Where do we start? We got like three places, I thought. Where should we start? Where do you want to start? Where do you want to start? We've got a little history. It's kind of our anniversary.

I think that would be good to do.

Yeah, it's all right.

Hey, happy anniversary, brother.

Is it our anniversary?

I think so. I don't know.

So, I think what would be interesting for me is if we told both versions of whatever story ended us in a place where we were

temporarily unhealthy with each other. Yeah. And what's crazy is when you think about it,

you know how like as time moves on the story gets better? Like 10 years later, this could be good.

You go first.

Okay, so, golly, this been 10 years ago, which is wild.

So we had this album come out in 2011 called Real Good Time.
