On this episode of Jackalope Tales, Charles and Lisa dive into the wild and unexpected stories behind the iconic Hollywood sign.  They share how rock legend Alice Cooper stepped in to "adopt" a letter of the sign, funding its restoration and cementing his place in Hollywood history.  But the antics don't stop there.  They also talk about the drummer of Sevendust wanting to flip one of the letters over to transform it into advertising for their new album!  Tune in for a mix of rock n' roll history, quirky Hollywood lore, and the larger-than-life personalities that make these stories unforgettable.

This week, Jackalope Tales is diving deep into the intersection of spirits, style, and storytelling.  In this episode, Lisa shares her hilarious tale of Willie Nelson's whiskey, which, of course, came with a highly unexpected twist, and Charles talks about Darius Rucker's whiskey, which came dressed in its own cargo shorts koozie.  Spoiler alert: those shorts didn't just keep the whiskey cool - they ruined it!  It's a spirited episode you don't want to miss!

This week on Jackalope Tales, we unwrap a holiday double feature you'll wish had stayed buried in the vault.  Original Toadies members Charles & Lisa take a boozy, bumpy sleigh ride through two Christmas specials that jingled way too many bells.  First we stumble into the Dean Martin Christmas Special, a drunken snow-globe fever dream of slurred carols, misplaced mistletoe, and eggnog-fueled chaos.  Then we shimmy into the Hee Haw Christmas Hoedown, where "old South charm" took a dark, uncomfortable turn faster than a reindeer on black ice.  

Get ready for festive flubs, naughty nostalgia, and enough awkward laughs to carry you through the season.  Tune in for the holiday tales television forgot - and probably wants to keep that way.

What happens when the most famous musicians in the world come together to save humanity...and Bob Dylan almost chickens out?  

In this week's episode, Charles & Lisa dive into the chaotic recording of the 1985 charity anthem that almost didn't happen.  You'll hear the tale of a mumbling legend paralyzed with stage fright, Lionel Ritchie trying to channel Gandhi while wrangling divas, and Quincy Jones transforming into a benevolent dictator.  

It's the feel-good disaster of the decade, told with just the right amount of snark.  Don't miss We Are The World...Barely - the podcast episode that proves saving the planet is easy...if you can survive the egos!

Welcome to Jackalope Tales podcast!  In this epidsode, Lisa & Charles talk about humble beginnings for two artists before they were superstars.  And their first jobs were not exactly glamorous.  Gwen Stefani served up soft-serve and slung blizzards, and DJ, producer Calvin Harris had a job that would seem to most a hard one to swallow, literally.  Fame can definitely come from even the most unexpected starts in life!
