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.

Michael & Paul sit down with Stuntman Troy and gets into how he went from wakeboarding and extreme sports… to getting paid to do stunts for a living. But what makes this episode hit isn’t just the action — it’s the mindset behind it.
We talk about:
- How Troy built his path from the ground up
- The importance of community, mentorship, and the right people around you
- What extreme sports looks like in the social media era
- Fatherhood, family life, and long-distance relationship realities
- The thrill (and real risk) of stunt work
- Troy’s experience working on Roadhouse and what it taught him
This episode is equal parts hilarious and inspiring — and it’s one of those conversations that’ll make you want to take a bigger swing in your own life.
