Ne-Yo stops by they Cyrus household, and somehow they end up talking about Reba McEntire, budget theft, and Taco Bell?!

Twenty years after his debut, Ne-Yo is making a country album (recorded entirely in Nashville) and he has a lot to say about why. How R&B started to feel like a costume, why the first country song he ever heard (Reba's "Fancy") still lives in his head rent-free, and what it was like to walk into Tim McGraw's house expecting a studio and find him barefoot with a guitar while Faith Hill cooked chicken.

He also gets into the stuff no one usually talks about: discovering at 20 unsettling things about his label, writing songs that ended up on other people's records, and what Jay-Z said the first time they met (hint: not "hello"). Plus, a story about Sia, back before anyone knew who she was, that explains everything about how she became famous while staying invisible.

It's nostalgia at it's finest, Stoners! You don't want to miss it.
