Welcome back listenERNs! Our guest today is Sam Hunt's GRAMMY-nominated guitarist and creator of the most luxurious candles on Earth: TYRONE CARREKER

ERNEST and Tyrone jump right in with some good vibes and talk about what got them into music, which leads to a conversation about what they grew up on, then they rank their favorite rappers of all-time. Next, Tyrone explores the spiritual side of music, why music makes you "feel," and how some songs just write themself.

Finally, the two discuss a Drake-scented candle, a vagina-scented candle (yup, you read that right), and Tyrone and Ern read the wildest Missed Connections we've had so far. Enjoy!

ERNEST and Mason start by discussing the Burger King commercial, the viral video that blew Mason up, Mason's favorite trucks and cars, his favorite video games, and they remember some of their favorite moments from touring together.

Next, Mason talks about the time he fangirled for NBA superstar, Kevin Durant, the first time Mason and Ern recorded together, working on the Old Town Road Remix, performing at the GRAMMYs, and meeting BTS.

Finally, Mason slides into Millie Bobby Brown's DMs and finishes up with a few segments: Name That 'Toon, Livin' La Vida Local, and What Are Those.

Ernest is back with a solo pod to kick off Season 2 of Just Being ERNEST with a bang.

First, Ern leads with some catch-up by giving an update on where he's been since the end of Season 1, what he's been up to, and he drops a major life announcement. Next, he shares stories from the golf course where he found out John Daly might be his father and met Kid Rock. Finally, he introduces some hilarious new segments that have him and the crew falling out of their chairs, and he wraps things up when a surprise guest who isn't old enough to drive but still crashes the podcast... Enjoy!
