Hey, hey, what's up everybody? Welcome back to this week's edition of the J.R. The Handler Show. Thank you guys for tuning in again this week. Got a great show lined up. Should be a really fun conversation.

This is going to be a different one than you've had the last nine episodes,

as in most of those folks were friends of mine.

I've had for a long time and I knew really, really well.

This week's guest is a new friend from the road, who I don't

know as well, but it's a great guy, got a great story, I'm sure, really been enjoying getting

to see him a lot lately. He's the tour manager for Dylan Carmichael, who if anybody has

listened to me, and he's one of my favorite newer country acts coming up a

Kentucky guy will get into all that but this week's episode features Dylan's tour manager who's a

new friend of mine who's got history in the rock world in the country we've done a lot of shows

together lately so we've become fast friends I really saw him this past weekend and thought, man, great opportunity.

Let me go ahead and get him on.

So we can talk about what's been happening recently on the road, as well as his story and his tie-in with a big story that's been in the news lately.

Also, to give a different perspective than someone who I've known for a long time like most

of my guests we've had so far so y'all stick with us we'll be right back here on the jr the

handler show with episode 10 Gary pettus stay tuned all right everybody welcome back to the jr the handler

show this week's guest is going to be a real treat. Like I mentioned earlier, most of the guests I've had on I've been friends with for a long time. And this is a newer friend I've met on the road. We've had a great time getting to know each other over the past year or so, I'd say. I've done several shows together so far this year,

just did a show together last week. It's Dylan Carmichael's tour manager. Gary Pettis in the

house. How are you, brother? What's up? What's up? How you doing, brother? I like your shirt.

Thank you, buddy. Hey, and the hat. And the hat. Oh, I haven't seen the hat before.

Ah, styling. And I'll tell you a story on this. It's the pick. You're higher up on the ladder than me, so I didn't get one of those.

Hey, I'm just good at getting, I'm good at getting the freebies, buddy.
