Koe Wetzel: The Glow Up Nobody Saw Coming
6/1/202650 min
Koe Wetzel sits down with Bunnie Xo for one of his most honest conversations yet. From East Texas dive bars to sold-out arenas, Koe opens up about the changes that transformed his life—cutting back on drinking, getting healthy, becoming a dad, and creating his new album, Night Champion.
He shares stories from his wild early days, growing up in a musical family, playing college football, getting kicked out of school, spending time in jail, and taking the ultimate gamble on a music career when everything started to take off.
Koe and Bunnie dive into the highs and lows of touring, the pressure of success, and why Night Champion feels like the closing chapter on the last decade of his life. He talks about writing deeply personal songs, the story behind "The Man" (including a live snippet), and why being vulnerable with fans has become more important than ever.
Koe also opens up about reconnecting with Bailey, their engagement, welcoming their daughter Woods, and how becoming a girl dad completely changed his perspective. Plus, the two swap tour stories, debate the worst hangover cities, celebrate Texas roots, and wrap things up with a rapid-fire round that proves Koe is still Koe.

If your bank is still charging you random fees every time you turn around, it might be time for an upgrade. Why are we paying to use our own money? Absolutely not. That's why I wanna tell y'all about Chime. They're changing the way people bank with rewarding fee-free banking built for real people, not just the 1%. Chime has thousands of fee-free ATMs, so you can get your cash without those annoying charges. They've also been rated five stars by USA Today for customer service, with real humans available 24/7. You can even get access to up to $500 of your pay before payday with MyPay. Plus, eligible members can get premium travel perks like airport lounge access and 24/7 travel concierge with a Chime card. And I love that you can get 5% cashback on your Chime card in a category you choose, like gas or groceries. Honestly, my younger self would've loved something like this. Anything that helps you keep more of your money and makes life easier, a win. Chime is not just smarter banking, it is the most rewarding way to bank.
