Eric Church Got Fired By Taylor Swift & Rascal Flatts + Explains His Viral Stagecoach Set | Bussin'

Eric Church joins the boys on the bus for one of the most incredible interviews we've ever had. The Chief opens up about the label almost dropping him before Smoke A Little Smoke saved his career, the origin story behind the sunglasses and nickname, secretly pressing the Mr Misunderstood album in Germany without telling his label, getting fired from the Rascal Flatts tour and finding out from Taylor Swift, launching the Me And Myself Tour as the ultimate troll move, Bob Seger calling and changing everything, headlining Stagecoach with just a guitar and a choir, the commencement speech that broke the internet, and announcing The Six Strings Of Your Life book. Plus the boys break down Myles Garrett to the Rams, Aaron Donald coming out of retirement, UFC 250 on the White House lawn, bachelor party tier talks, and the Knicks taking over New York. Subscribe. Big hugs, tiny kisses.
