#867. When Kaitlyn Bristowe sits down with Canadian country music icon Brett Kissel , you know you’re in for a mix of belly laughs, heartfelt moments, and maybe even a little singing. Brett takes Kaitlyn back to where it all started — writing his first song at just 7 years old — and shares how that early passion shaped his new album, Let Your Horses Run . They dive deep into the world of country music songwriting, swapping stories about the creative process and unpacking the emotional backstory behind his new track “Rich Is,” a moment so powerful it brings Kaitlyn to tears. But it’s not all serious — there’s plenty of laughter as they use ChatGPT to roast Brett’s life, swap Canadian slang, and relive his wild ride on a bull for his latest music video (that he almost made 8 seconds!). It’s part heartfelt storytelling, part hilarious catch-up between two buddies — and all the reason you need to hit play.
