Theo asks whether Riley ever thinks about settling down. Riley's answer is bracingly honest: it's not that easy to meet someone in his situation. He's confined to the back of a tour bus, he won't meet anyone on Instagram, and the few times he's been out publicly in Nashville — at Losers or Duck Blind — he's been hiding on the back deck.
