Bar Talk Happy Hour
Thursday, December 18, 2025 - 15 minutes
This week on Bar Talk Happy Hour, we dig into a heartfelt moment from Cody Johnson as he shares the advice he gives kids who tell him they want to be just like him. Instead of leaning into celebrity status, Cody reminds young fans that he’s just a regular guy with flaws, emphasizing humility, faith, and the importance of personal growth over idol worship.
We’ll also touch on Cody’s recent 2025 health scare, including a burst eardrum that required surgery and forced him to postpone part of his tour. Odie Coyote reacts to Cody’s grounded perspective and what it says about the kind of role model he strives to be—both on and off the stage.
