You're listening to a metal of your podcast. What? Welcome to Melk Your Podcast, I'm Ethan Luck.

And I'm Clint Wells.

This is episode 216, and we're talking to a good friend of Clint's Kurt Ozahn.

Kurt Ozan is a touring musician.

You will know him.

If you pay attention at all to the country world,

he is in the band for Luke Combs. Luke Combs is one of the biggest country touring acts out right now.

And I met Kurt out on the road in my travels. You will hear our origin story in the episode.

But he's a huge Metallica fan and just a really fascinating, cool guy.

And Ethan and I were putting together thoughts about the future episodes.

And I've wanted to have Kurt on since I met him out on the road about a year and a half ago.

And me and Kurt were texting yesterday, and I just figured it'd be a fun episode.

So we're going to hear all about his Metallica story.

We're going to hear about how pervasive rock and metal guitar players are in the Nashville professional country world. And we're going to hear about just his world. He's an interesting dude. I'm glad that you got to meet him today. I am too. Yeah. And he is, you know, a sweetie pie, as we like to dub a lot of people in that regard.

We only dabble with sweetie pies.

If you're not a sweetie pie, then you're not on metal up your podcast.

No, we don't have any room for you over here.

We're sorry.

There's no room in the pantry for you.
