Episode 16
Thursday, 16 July, 2026
One of my dearest friends in music came over to the house. 🖤 MOD SUN joined me for one of the most honest conversations we've ever had about sobriety, heartbreak, purpose, creativity, healing, and why he believes he's entering the greatest chapter of his life. We dive deep into his incredible new album, how Nashville completely changed his creative process, making music inspired by Bob Dylan, collaborating with Chris Carrabba, his friendship with Machine Gun Kelly, becoming sober, finding peace after heartbreak, and why he finally feels like he's made the quintessential MOD SUN album. We also talk about: ⚡️ Warped Tour memories and how our friendship began ⚡️ Life after heartbreak and finding a new purpose ⚡️ Why Bob Dylan inspired this new chapter ⚡️ Creating the "quintessential" MOD SUN album ⚡️ Why Nashville changed everything ⚡️ Working with Chris Carrabba on "Danger" ⚡️ Using songwriting as therapy ⚡️ Relationships, love, and wanting to become a father ⚡️ Looking back on his dad and the lessons he carries today ⚡️ His sobriety journey, overdose, and rock bottom ⚡️ Learning to become a better person ⚡️ Regrets, perspective, and living without fear ⚡️ Making peace with his past, including Avril Lavigne ⚡️ Defining success beyond fame and money ⚡️ His lifelong brotherhood with Machine Gun Kelly ⚡️ Why rock music is entering an exciting new era ⚡️ The songs, albums, and artists that changed his life ⚡️ Advice for staying present and living with purpose Plus: oatmeal cookies, Shirley Temples, vintage barware, brownies, banana hammocks, and plenty of laughs along the way.
