Koe Wetzel Says Hardy Is A Bad Influence On Him: “Every Time I Get Into Trouble, It’s Usually Hardy’s Fault”

Getting too rowdy together.

Koe Wetzel is known for being the wild and rowdy man of the Texas country music scene. He has a reputation for drinking a lot, getting into fights, and being arrested, along with a ton of other crazy stories from the days of his early career running around with fellow Texas star Parker McCollum. Koe Wetzel knows how to have a good time, but has slowed down on his wild ways over the last few years, and we see that reflected in the lyrics of his previous studio record, 9 Lives.

But we saw a palpable shift in Koe letting go of his party-like ways after the release of the single “Good Times.”

“Good Times” follows a lot of the themes of 9 Lives about growing up and settling down (just a little bit), as he sings how he’s been running on booze and pills for so long, he doesn’t really know how to stop. What he does know is that, eventually, when the never-ending bender inevitably ends, he’ll be all alone if he keeps going the way he has been.

Last year, Koe Wetzel really slowed down on his wild ways when his longtime girlfriend, Bailey Fisher, announced that they were expecting their first child together, later welcoming an adorable baby girl, Woods Madison Wetzel, into the world. Since the birth of Woods, Wetzel has been working on his physique, and fans can see that he’s putting in the work to better himself to be the best dad possible.

However, the East Texas native can still throw down here and there, and most recently, he disclosed that he and Hardy know how to have a good time together. The two men have been on the road together for Hardy’s Jim Bob World Tour (which recently wrapped up at Madison Square Garden). The two seem to gel really well together on the road, but Koe did share a quick golf cart interview with Much near the end of summer, revealing that Hardy is a bad influence on him.

The interviewer asked Koe a question, inquiring about an artist or artists that he’s nervous to be around.

“I don’t know. I don’t guess I get nervous around artists.”

Spins the question into Koe naming someone that if he thinks he could get nervous about in a hypothetical sense, and less literally.

“We’ll go with Hardy. He makes me pretty damn nervous to be around. Yeah, cause he gets to drinking and he acts crazy, you know? And he influences me in all the wrong ways. Every time I get into trouble, it’s usually Hardy’s fault.”

The interview hilariously clips to Hardy in the same golf cart at a later time, reacting to hearing that Koe said he’s a bad influence.

“I’m a bad influence on Koe? That’s bulls***.” 

HA. Back to Koe in the golf cart, the interviewer asks what about Hardy makes him a bad influence, other than the two drinking a lot together.

“That’s it, just continue to drink. You know? It’s nothing too wild. But the more I drink, the more I act up, and it’s usually because of him. It’s his fault. You know? 

I’m finna to go meet him after this, actually. I’m pretty nervous about how much we are going to drink before we go on.”

Seems like these two have no fun together. What a shame.

Just for fun, check out this video of how Koe Wetzel and Hardy spent one of their days off while on tour. Outside of drinking together, Hardy and Koe seem like adrenaline junkies.
