Jason Cross and Toad kickin’ it in Vegas on his last trip through. We dove into music, singles, the road to Nashville, speedos, JetSkis, Royal Lynn and more!
He got super famous on Facebook with a meme of him on a JetSki, super funny story. I had heard stories about who Jason Cross was before I ever met him. We talked getting on festivals without an agent or a manager. He is a true hustler and that’s why I think I was drawn to him as a person. We met in North Carolina of all places, booked him a show in Vegas and now he’s back!
We talked about Russell Dickerson’s shows over the years and our goal of selling out and when we did, it was show stopping worthy!
We talked about the best fast food hamburger… what’s yours? In N Out? Culvers ? Shake Shack ? Let’s talk about it! and don’t… don’t judge Arby’s!
Oh, if you watch the podcast, you’ll see the AC was out in the studio, yet we still did it!
