After weeks of radio silence and cryptic outlaw posts, Tony breaks format completely.

This isn't your usual Channel 19 Experience.

The sun split. Two worlds collided. Everything changed.

Featured: Norris Beren on second chances, courage, and why first movers win.

The Money Line: "I found my whistle again, villains. Turns out I couldn't whistle while I was smiling... or crying."

Answer to no one. Build what matters. Deliver what you promise.

It's all logistics and communication. Everything else is just complexity we've layered on top.

The Whistlers are multiplying. The tune is changing.

We've got work to do.

🎙️ Episode 33: You Can’t Whistle When You’re Smiling... or Crying This week, Tony breaks format for one of the most powerful episodes yet — blending philosophy, trucking, and rebellion through the music of The White Buffalo. From “I Got You” to “The Whistler,” he explores what it means to keep whistling when the world wants you smiling or crying too hard to make a sound.

Then — buckle up — we haul some sacred cows to the slaughterhouse: 🚛 The “driver shortage” myth ⚖️ The illusion of freedom and the free market 📜 The two-tier justice system 💰 The hidden taxes buried in bureaucracy and the legal class

And we wrap it all up with Lee Owens, organizer of the American Truckers Jubilee in Sealy, Arkansas — talking cabovers, Make-A-Wish, and why trucking still has heart.

From Villa Park to Lincoln Cathedral, from Ironbridge to Runnymede, Tony crosses the pond for a ride-along with UK lorry driver Matt Rayner—and discovers that what keeps trucks (and relationships) rolling isn’t contracts, it’s covenant.

This episode blends 800 years of history with the rhythms of modern trucking: how the Magna Carta, the Charter of the Forest, and the Industrial Revolution still echo in today’s freight industry.
