Parmalee: A Brother’s Bond

Brothers Scott and Matt Thomas, Parmalee bandmates, join the Lautners today to discuss a robbery-turned-shoot-out that left Scott in a coma for 10 days. They take us back to their lives in 2010 prior to the incident, and detail that terrible day-Scott still remembers the feeling of being shot like it was yesterday. They speak about the recovery process, sharing a hospital floor with their attackers, and the trial, where Matt chose to testify. They discuss the mental health journey that has accompanied this tragedy, and the tools they’ve implemented to help them along the way.

The fact that he forgave was huge but also hugged the mother of that man that is a true testament to the beautiful human he is! Such a traumatic experience but Grateful he survived & recovering. Praying for many Blessings for y’all in this next chapter of y’all’s journey. 🙏🏽🫶🏽

I haven't seen them in forever! thank you so much for this interview because I truly did not know about their struggles and that Scott was in a coma. I had first heard them on the hot 20 countdown on the cmt channel!

Enjoyed listening to this, and just a little feedback. It would be more enjoyable if she didn't say "like" every second word.

[@debbyadamcik8162]

I love this pod cast but please girl taylor stop saying "like like" all the time...
