Strap on your floaties and clutch your all-you-can-eat shrimp cocktails—because this week’s Jackalope Tales sets sail straight into the choppy waters of cruise-ship musical disasters.
Charles dives head-first into the murky mystery of Taime Downe and the fiancée who “accidentally” went overboard. Was it a tragic fall? A drunken mishap? Or one of those classic music-industry cover-ups where everyone suddenly forgets how gravity works? The Jackalope is sniffing around, and the ocean starts looking real guilty.
Then Lisa wades into the unbelievable but beautifully stupid tale of Trace Adkins, who ended up in a full-blown fistfight with… Trace Adkins. Yup. Turns out his cruise-ship doppelganger was a little too good at being Trace—better hair, better voice, better tips from the drunk moms at the pool bar. One thing led to another, and the real Trace handled it the only way a country star on a boat knows how: by trying to throw the clone off the Lido Deck.
From missing lovers to identity theft brawls at sea, this episode proves one thing:
If musicians are on a boat, it’s only a matter of time before someone goes overboard—literally or mentally.
Hop aboard, Jackalope crew.
This one’s a shipwreck you’ll want front-row seats for. [Ep 114]
