Pretty nice, as an old guy, to see a young man like this being humble, well-spoken,talentented, honest about his struggles and generally "relatable" to Americans! Well done, Chris! Your family past and present is and should be proud of ya!
The only thing that's sad here is how people are projecting their political "team," or trying to fill in their own message. Here's the message. POLITICIANS don't care about us. Let's just leave it there and not make this kid(young man) become someone who divides instead of what his song SHOULD and IS doing, which is UNITING. Great song, message, everything.
I live with my friend who's Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, he suffers from ptsd after he saw all his friends die in front of his eyes. He struggles everyday but he's a strong man and I try to support him as much as I can. He loves country music and I ended up becoming a fan myself. If you ever end up playing in UK please let us know as seeing you live would be an amazing experience. And I do pray everyday just so you know brother. Stay real Anthony! Much love!
Does your friend now think it was worth it? I mean getting fooled by your government "fighting for a good cause". Having your friends dying and lifelong trauma and all was for nothing. Just a lie to keep your weaponindustri and military machine running. How many fu.cking made up wars does it take for Americans not to join the army? Defending your own country is one thing but you are messing were you shouldnt have been messing. The puppetmasters behind the strings get richer and more powerfull and missguided and manipulated people like your friend gets to pay the price.
This guy's on quite the roller coaster. One moment nobody knows him. The next he releases a song that goes viral and hits high in the charts. The next he's on the number one podcast on the planet. Amazing.

Amazing how articulate and confident this guy is. He doesn't seem nervous at all, being a guest on the biggest show on the planet! Incredible. I hope for a long successful career for him.

Stop the meat riding, the dude sounds like a normal dude. If what he said here sounds profound and ingenious, sorry to say but youre either a bot(most likely), handicap or just plain stvpld. This clip/conversation imo was actually horrible.. cause it's like they had nothing to talk about. They each made very conversation ending comments, but forcefully kept it going. He has nothing interesting to talk about besides saying the most obvious things. LAME
It's weird af how many people are surprised at how intelligent and well-spoken he seems. It's kind of insulting, don't you think? Imagine someone listening to you and saying, "Huh, you're smarter and more put together than I thought you were."
@@katie7748 Not in the slightest. Intelligence and articulation are two of the three qualities I respect most in a human (kindness is the third). I said I was impressed at his articulation, not surprised. I think you read what you wanted to w/ my post at least.
The best interviews are the ones where Joe is genuinely surprised and excited to get the guest to even sit across the table from him! This is 100% one of those interviews!
That last line is a kicker,i feel the same way everyday. The feeling of running out of time is crippling to the point where you are overwhelmed enough to just waste your free time away, then it happens all over again the next day.
Well said brother. When you talked about the music industry developed an algorithm to where all songs have to fit a certain format, and music is suppose to be an expression of an artist. God bless you all hope whoever reads this had a better Friday than me. But this video gives me like a pep talk, if you will.
What a reasonable, thoughtful, well spoken man. He's obviously been through a lot in his life and come out the other side a better person. Makes me like his music even more. Hope he lives a long, successful life. Damn can he sing...
The amount of emotional intelligence and self-awareness in this young man is remarkable. He understands our world better than most people twice his age and he articulates that equally well through both verse and interview. I hope he stays miles away from the traditional news machine, because they will endlessly gaslight him for a single sound byte and eventually turn him into a martyr.
The lack of slang or twang in his voice has me astounded LOL! I'm from Georgia and I have more of a country accent than he does. His regular voice in no way matches his singing voice!

One of the best stories of 2023, what a wild ride his year was...i love how humble he is . . Really hope he stays this way, he's a national treasure
Absolutely. Oliver Anthony is a voice for conservatives everywhere. I am so glad he is on our team, we need all the help we can get in our fight against the democrats.
Blew up in a month massive Viral success, no one has ever seen it happen instantly. God, I love his life in musical, lyrical connection that connects to what we are feeling.

“I think for me a lot of the anxiety came from just feeling I was running out of time”
Damn, I feel that
❤ get it!
😢 I almost cried when he said that.
Perfectly normal response after you're 30. I'm 34 now and feel like steamrolling through life experiences.
That one got me as well. I am a creative and am living my art and man, it's not easy when you get older and things are not as certain as they seemed to be in your 20's.
@@Kerath Tighten up! We're still young. Alot of your anxiety is driven by watching social media, even this. It's a waste of time. We should be out camping, fishing, etc not even thinking about this crap.
This guy popped up when we needed him the most. His songs have brought people together in an unknowingly way by making us stop and think about the struggle and bs that we all deal with
I absolutely love your message. We need so many more talented, caring singers like you. Shinedownis is also fantastic about caring for each other and stopping the hatred in our country. Thank you, God bless you ❤
Dude lives 45 min away from me, amazing to see how much success he’s had. Proud of this dude

Chris (Oliver) says what millions of Americans are feeling across our country. He did it in such a beautiful way. God bless him🙏🏼🇺🇸💯
His name is Chris
Which just shows how stupid millions are across the country. People believing that fat people using food stamps for junk food is what's holding the working class down. Yeah, that's absolutely equivalent to the millionaire politicians acting on behalf of the billionaires that bought them.
Except we’re not against welfare
@@rikmichaels9233he isn't either ffs
@@rikmichaels9233but we are all against shitty people taking advantage of welfare programs
I feel this man to my soul. Keep being real Oliver.
This man’s humility is so refreshing. I live an hour north of Farmville in the country and very much relate.
He just exudes authenticity in a world where that seems incredibly rare. Huge fan of his music and his personality!
he does? Because when he talks he sounds like a NYC liberal - when he sings suddenly he is a hillbilly - 100% fake - pretty sure this whole thing was a government psyop - i mean the dude came out talking about how he worships DIVERSITY (white genocide) - basically like reading a script from the US State department
Yes!💯💪🙏💛
Not really. He literally lives on 90 acres of land.
@@kfleming78 reading all your comments on this post gave me a good laugh. I couldn’t imagine living life so narrow minded.
@@horsepaste817 HE still owes $60k on that land. He is authentic. Respect brings respect, brother.💯
Thanks for having him on, Joe! Hope Oliver makes it through all this quick fame. Be brave! Be strong!
Joe knows a good thing when it comes along. Everyone is going to be scrambling for Chris to be on their shows.

Thank you Chris for authentic music from the heart. I'm 58 yrs old and I'm so tired of what they call country today.
This is the "Where we're you" for this time in our lives. Thank you, Oliver, for speaking for all of us.
Pretty nice, as an old guy, to see a young man like this being humble, well-spoken,talentented, honest about his struggles and generally "relatable" to Americans! Well done, Chris! Your family past and present is and should be proud of ya!
You can clearly see the struggles he's endured
Fly Nubian queen
Who’s Chris
Tbh, it's not relatable to only Americans. It's relatable to your average working class person in multiple places over the world.
The only thing that's sad here is how people are projecting their political "team," or trying to fill in their own message.
Here's the message. POLITICIANS don't care about us. Let's just leave it there and not make this kid(young man) become someone who divides instead of what his song SHOULD and IS doing, which is UNITING.
Great song, message, everything.
I live with my friend who's Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, he suffers from ptsd after he saw all his friends die in front of his eyes. He struggles everyday but he's a strong man and I try to support him as much as I can. He loves country music and I ended up becoming a fan myself.
If you ever end up playing in UK please let us know as seeing you live would be an amazing experience.
And I do pray everyday just so you know brother.
Stay real Anthony! Much love!
Does your friend now think it was worth it? I mean getting fooled by your government "fighting for a good cause". Having your friends dying and lifelong trauma and all was for nothing. Just a lie to keep your weaponindustri and military machine running. How many fu.cking made up wars does it take for Americans not to join the army? Defending your own country is one thing but you are messing were you shouldnt have been messing. The puppetmasters behind the strings get richer and more powerfull and missguided and manipulated people like your friend gets to pay the price.
Tell your friend he's not the only one, and too stay strong brother...Also a UK vet with ptsd from Bosnia/ Afghanistan. Keep it moving soldier 👍🏻

It's incredible that real people are finally coming to light! Guys, I LOVE Y'ALL! OLIVER, I found your music at literally the hardest point in my life! I appreciate everything you are! Ty Joe for being amazing
great to watch someone so humble, and can write and sing great songs
Amazing how articulate and confident this guy is. He doesn't seem nervous at all, being a guest on the biggest show on the planet! Incredible. I hope for a long successful career for him.
Fbi trains well
his day to day job was a salesman , so thats an awsome combo of his story and he can actually articulate himself.... thank Joe for getting his best side going and getting this out
@CIAKilledWagner Dude, you " conspiracy theorists " are some of the dumbest people sometimes. He's not an " industry plant " like some of your ilk have said, and he's definitely NOT in the FBI.
That said, you're as dumb as shit, that is if you're not a bot.

Who is Chris? Isn't his name Oliver Anthony?
@@lovebythemoon57 his real name is Chris.. Oliver Anthony was his grandfather who he learned to play music with. He produces music under the name Oliver Anthony
And this is the magic of Rogan, and why this podcast is the #1 on the internet. That the most powerful interviewer in the planet can sit down with an average country guy bewildered at his own sudden success, and not only make him feel relaxed, but feel like it's just two guys sitting across the campfire holding a beer. And then Rogan can talk to a presidential candidate 3 days later, and make him feel at ease too. It's really phenomenal. Joe find the humanity in everyone, and the humor is all part of that. Comedians bridge all gaps, because honesty bridges all gaps.
Down to earth humble guy. No one deserves it more than him
Yet he is bashing the very people he appeals to.

First heard it on the radio today and gave me chills. Went down the rabbit hole and here I am
This is the first extended interview from Chris that I’ve heard and I am so impressed at how articulate and intelligent he speaks. The man is wise beyond his years. Wishing him all the success for years to come.
Stop the meat riding, the dude sounds like a normal dude. If what he said here sounds profound and ingenious, sorry to say but youre either a bot(most likely), handicap or just plain stvpld. This clip/conversation imo was actually horrible.. cause it's like they had nothing to talk about. They each made very conversation ending comments, but forcefully kept it going. He has nothing interesting to talk about besides saying the most obvious things. LAME
whos chris?

@@katie7748 Not in the slightest. Intelligence and articulation are two of the three qualities I respect most in a human (kindness is the third). I said I was impressed at his articulation, not surprised. I think you read what you wanted to w/ my post at least.

This guy is so humble and just a good ol boy singing his awesome songs, I love it.
I love this guy. So real and humble.
The best interviews are the ones where Joe is genuinely surprised and excited to get the guest to even sit across the table from him! This is 100% one of those interviews!
That last line is a kicker,i feel the same way everyday. The feeling of running out of time is crippling to the point where you are overwhelmed enough to just waste your free time away, then it happens all over again the next day.
Right voice, right time. Perfect context. Love it

Well said brother. When you talked about the music industry developed an algorithm to where all songs have to fit a certain format, and music is suppose to be an expression of an artist. God bless you all hope whoever reads this had a better Friday than me. But this video gives me like a pep talk, if you will.
What a reasonable, thoughtful, well spoken man. He's obviously been through a lot in his life and come out the other side a better person. Makes me like his music even more. Hope he lives a long, successful life. Damn can he sing...

The amount of emotional intelligence and self-awareness in this young man is remarkable. He understands our world better than most people twice his age and he articulates that equally well through both verse and interview. I hope he stays miles away from the traditional news machine, because they will endlessly gaslight him for a single sound byte and eventually turn him into a martyr.
The lack of slang or twang in his voice has me astounded LOL! I'm from Georgia and I have more of a country accent than he does. His regular voice in no way matches his singing voice!

Emotional intelligence. Double think, much?
