During the more than one-hour-long conversation, the traditional-leaning country star, 48, opened up about his first ever experience meeting fellow country artist Hank Williams Jr. Calling the memory a ‘disaster,’ Nichols explained that he was scheduled to go out on a turkey hunt with Williams Jr., but didn’t inform the country music icon, 76, that he had never actually hunted before.
Nichols shared that he bought a 12 Gauge firearm for their hunt, but anticipated just hanging out with the Louisiana-bred star.
Along with the hunt, to Nichols' surprise, Williams Jr. had also planned on filming the outing, as CMT had scheduled a camera crew to follow the two artists around as part of a show that Bocephus (AKA Williams Jr.) was working on.
If that’s not bad enough, things got worse.
Joe Nichols Had Never Experienced Turkey Calling Before
“I didn’t know what the hell it was. He handed it to me and was like, ‘Work on that. We’ll get your gobble right,” Nichols remembered.
“‘My god. That had to be the dumbest thing anybody has ever done on camera,” the singer said, adding that the camera crew caught him at the moment. “...I thought you somehow got air to come through this thing. He turned around and saw me and was like, ‘What the hell is wrong with you? What are you doing? Why are you doing that?’ I’m like, ‘Ah. I don’t know how this works. I don’t know what I’m doing.’”
Indeed, he was serious. Nichols explains that while hungover from the night prior, the two woke up at the crack of dawn and hit the brush line.
Luckily, the day wasn’t a total waste, as Nichols says he and the “All My Rowdy Friends” hitmaker finally got one at the end of the day, after they'd almost given up. But, he notes, “it was a disaster. That whole day was a disaster.”
Hank Williams Jr. Also Invited Joe Nichols To Eat a Fish Dinner
“At the time, I didn’t eat much fish…. He was gonna fry it all up, this family recipe, fish fry,” Nichols recalled. “He’s making a big show of it. It’s a big deal to him, this family recipe passed down. And again, this is all on camera with CMT. So he’s frying this fish. He’s going through the presentation, and he pulls this fish out of the fryer and hands me the first batch of it.”
The Awkward Hang Didn’t Ruin Their Friendship
These days, Nichols and Williams Jr. can laugh off the hilarious, unforgettable moment, as Nichols revealed he ran into the icon recently. Turns out that Hank Jr. is fond of the two’s first meeting, telling Nichols, “I never told you I named that blind after you. That was such a traumatic, funny, awesome story.”
