Offstage America
Offstage America is Michael Ray like you’ve never heard him before.
No stage lights. No script.
This show lives where real life happens, on the road, on the porch, in the woods, at the table. Michael sits down for honest conversations about the things that actually matter: family, faith, the outdoors, sports, music, mental health, giving back, and what it means to build a life you’re proud of.
Guests range from fellow artists, athletes, celebrities and veterans to everyday Americans with real stories worth hearing. Some you’ll recognize instantly. Others you’ll be glad you met here first.
Michael brings a rare perspective from someone who’s toured nationally, topped charts, lived the highs of success, and still stayed rooted in who he is and where he comes from. That makes the conversations relaxed, unfiltered, and real. The kind of conversations that don’t happen on stage or in interviews.
Offstage America isn’t about hype. It’s about real people. It’s about life off the stage and the stories that shape us when no one’s watching.

In the first-ever guest episode of Offstage America, Michael Ray brings Brady Pierce into the hot seat. A professional wrestler, stuntman, actor, and one of the real ones on the team. What starts as a laid-back, no-script hang quickly turns into a full breakdown of what it actually takes to make it when you come from nothing, sleep in your car, chase the next opportunity, and refuse to quit.
They get into:
- How Brady went from small-town South Carolina to working major TV and film sets
- The brutal reality of the wrestling grind (and getting paid $20 to drive across the country)
- Getting discovered through AEW, landing Heels, and stepping into Hollywood fast
- The WWE “what if” moment that almost happened — and the setback that became the setup
- Why most people quit right before they’re about to break through
- The truth about success, failure, confidence, discipline, and staying built for the long game
This episode is funny, raw, and unexpectedly real — and it’s exactly what Offstage America is about: the story behind the wins, the scars behind the confidence, and the moments that happen when the cameras aren’t supposed to be rolling.
If you’re chasing something big… you need this one.
