Welcome to the best half hour of internet you\u2019ll hear all day.<\/p>\n

In this brand new Get Real! podcast<\/a> from Caroline Hobby, Luke Bryan\u2019s wife Caroline and Little Big Town\u2019s Phillip Sweet\u2019s wife Becky share some real-life moments that define what it\u2019s like to be the women behind the men.<\/p>\n

One the of the very best stories they told was how they met, on a red carpet, very early in their husbands\u2019 careers.<\/p>\n

On the flask that bonded them:<\/em><\/p>\n

Caroline Bryan:<\/strong> Actually I\u2019m not exaggerating at all. It was my first or second red carpet, he and I had just gotten engaged. Everybody knows that Luke talks a lot, he won\u2019t shut up. So I\u2019m standing in the back and I don\u2019t know anybody. Here comes this girl with this curly hair, and she goes, \u201cHey I\u2019m Becky.\u201d And she\u2019s like, \u201cI\u2019m here with Phillip from Little Big Town.\u201d We were shaking. I just wanted to be out of the way. Becky had on this beautiful low cut dress, and I said, \u201cI\u2019m gonna be here for a while because Luke is gonna be talking for a while. God, I really wish I had a drink.\u201d She pulled a flask out of her cleavage. I went, \u201cI don\u2019t know who you are, but I like you.\u201d That\u2019s how you start a great friendship.<\/p>\n

On the first red-carpet face plant:<\/em><\/p>\n

Becky Sweet:<\/strong> Long story short. The band was doing the step and repeat, and so I was skipping it. And I went behind it and there were all these cable and it was raining and I was trying to gracefully go over them. My heel caught and I face planted. Like nose to the carpet, all the way down. Martina (McBride)\u2019s sweet, sweet bodyguard picked me up like a Barbie underneath my armpits.<\/p>\n

On real life as a road widow:<\/em><\/p>\n

Sweet:<\/strong> When Luke and Little Big Town were out together we were basically road widows.<\/p>\n

Bryan:<\/strong> I have three boys at home \u2014 17, 11 and 8 \u2014 so I can\u2019t travel as much because each kid has football, baseball, flag football, basketball. I have to make sure my kids have a normal life. But in the early days, no joke, when Bo was born, we didn\u2019t have anything. We shared the bus with Luke\u2019s band. Bo and I slept on suitcases in the back of the bus. We made a pallet out of the suitcases. You just do it.<\/p>\n

Sweet:<\/strong> Penelope was nine days old when the band was on the George Strait tour, and they were gone for two months. Phillip said, \u201cI can\u2019t go two months without seeing her.\u201d So I had (the band\u2019s) Karen (Fairchild) and Kimberly (Schlapman) helping me. We\u2019re all going to heaven because of Kimberly. She\u2019s just so sweet.<\/p>\n

On the days way before the fame:<\/em><\/p>\n

Bryan:<\/strong> Our first house had a bathroom floor that was rotted out. In order to hop in the shower, you had to step over this big area so you wouldn\u2019t fall through the hole. And now we don\u2019t even know how we went from there to here. We have such a long history, it does make us appreciate each other more because we did this from absolutely nothing. I can honestly say that Luke has never changed.<\/p>\n

On what ignites their crazy:<\/em><\/p>\n

Bryan:<\/strong> If you talk about my family or my husband, I will go 14 kinds of crazy on you.<\/p>\n

(This is how I\u2019m picturing 14 kind of crazy.)<\/p>\n
