Jackalope Tales – Dial Tone Deaf

This week on Jackalope Tales, we crank up the static and tune into two rumors that blew up online louder than a dial-up modem at 3 AM. Charles digs deep into the endless game of social media telephone that turned Bruce Springsteen — a man who’s spent half a century on stage — into a punchline for tour cancellations he never even planned. Did The Boss cancel a ghost tour? Did he retire ten times last week? Charles tries to separate rumor from reality, though rumor seems to be winning. Meanwhile, Lisa crosses oceans and dives headfirst into the salacious gossip vortex that tried to smear Black Pink with prostitution rumors — stories so flimsy they make tabloid headlines look Pulitzer-worthy. From shady “insiders” to obsessive fan wars, Lisa unpacks how a few tweets can spin a global K-pop juggernaut into a scandal that never was. Tune in for scandal, confusion, and a few more reasons to mute your notifications — only on Jackalope Tales. [EP 92] Become a J-Lope and follow us on social media.
