Jackalope Tales – Details, episodes & analysis

Send us a text

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!
