  • Jackalope Tales – Rock, Paper, Lawsuit
    Jul 15 2026

    This week, Charles and Lisa dive headfirst into the glorious dumpster fire of bands suing other bands. From stolen riffs and borrowed lyrics to trademark tantrums and courtroom guitar solos, they uncover the rock stars who decided lawyers hit harder than drummers.

    Because nothing says “rock ‘n’ roll forever” quite like a cease-and-desist delivered by certified mail. Grab your air guitar, hide your songwriting notebook, and remember… every great lawsuit starts with someone saying, “Hey… that was MY chord progression.” [Ep 147]

  • Jackalope Tales – I’ve Got Friends In Cold Cases
    Jul 8 2026

    This week, Charles and Lisa mosey straight into one of country music’s weirdest rabbit holes: the internet rumor that Garth Brooks is secretly a serial killer. From viral conspiracy theories to fans connecting dots with the enthusiasm of a detective who’s had way too much coffee, they dig into why this bizarre legend refuses to die.

    Is there any truth to it? (Spoiler: rumors aren’t evidence.) Or is this just another case of the internet deciding that selling millions of records isn’t suspicious enough?

    So grab your cowboy hat, keep your alibi handy, and remember… if someone asks where you were in 1997, you probably shouldn’t say, “At a Garth concert.” [Ep 146]

  • Jackalope Tales – Stars & Shart Stripes
    Jul 1 2026

    This Fourth of July, Charles and Lisa light the fuse on America’s playlist and stand back. From songs that make you want to salute… to songs that make you want to defect, we’re counting down some of the best and worst musical tributes to the red, white, and bruised.

    Expect patriotic anthems, embarrassing flag-waving, misunderstood classics, and enough musical explosions to make the neighborhood HOA file a complaint.

    So grab a hot dog, hide your fireworks from Uncle Gary, and remember… nothing says “freedom” quite like arguing over whether Born in the U.S.A. is actually patriotic.

    Jackalope Tales—where every episode is more explosive than your cousin’s homemade fireworks. [Ep 145]
