Welcome back to Whiskey Riff Raff.

I'm Shelby.

I'm Quinn.

And today we are interviewing Dirk's Bentley, which I know, Quinn, you are quite a fan.

I'm a Dirk's Bentley fan.

I am too.

I don't know if there's a Dirk's fan club.

If there is one, I would be happy to join it.

Maybe we can talk to him about that and see if he has official one or something like that.

I'm sure he does. I feel like he's like one of the artists, like one of the only artists we talked to where I actually grew up on them. Like I remember my very first CMT music video I ever watched was a Dirk's Bentley video. So like he's like someone that like we actually grew up on a lot of like Tracy Lawrence. We might have like grew up on his music, but it wasn't like in his prime per se.

And Dirk's has been getting after it for a long time.

A long time.

And so I think that's what some of the stuff that we're going to talk to him about today.

But yeah, like I remember Dirk's Bentley songs being on whenever I was younger.

And then, I mean, fast forward to this past year.

Like I was in the pit of a Dirk's Bentley concert. So, like, you know, I don't know if I'll mention that to him. I don't want to freak him out. But, yeah, I think that this is going to be really cool to get to talk to him. And I know we had them on the podcast, or was it around this time last year. And I was out of town and devastated. So I'm very excited to be present for this

interview today. Which since that day, I have been able to say, Dirk's Bentley is the coolest

phone number I have in my phone. Because he was showing us a video of himself and Lainey. And he was

like, here, send it to yourself so we could use it for a whiskey riff. now I have a number although I would never ever ever dare to use it but I was like

exactly is that the biggest number you have oh for sure for sure um yeah but is that your dirk story

that you were telling me about or is there another dirt story that you had I think that that was that

was it yeah I have his phone number.
