Take a wild ride through rock history and roadside adventures as Mike and Tom deliver another unpredictable episode filled with concert tales and travel mishaps.
Mike's musical heart is set ablaze after witnessing The Warning—three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico—deliver a face-melting performance at The Ritz in Raleigh. His VIP experience (which he didn't even realize he had purchased) granted him early access, signed memorabilia, and encounters with possibly the greatest bartender in North Carolina. Mike dives deep into the band's remarkable origin story: how these three sisters began playing instruments before age eight, learned on Rock Band video games, and accidentally went viral with a Metallica cover originally intended just for their grandparents. By the time they formed their band in 2013, they were just 13, 11, and 8 years old—yet their talent was already undeniable.
Meanwhile, Tom recounts his eventful journey to Cherokee that quickly spiraled into chaos. What started as a simple road trip became a traveling circus complete with two chihuahuas, an extra dog (who promptly got carsick), and mysteriously appearing birds. His colorful description of entering an Indian Reservation dispensary wearing "a cowboy hat and a red cannabis shirt" with camouflage shorts paints the perfect picture of culture clash. The trip home featured the special anxiety only car trouble three hours from home can bring—though somehow the vehicle ran better at highway speeds than when idling.
Between Mike's musical discovery and Tom's misadventures, the episode captures everything fans love about this podcast: authentic experiences, unexpected twists, and the undeniable chemistry between hosts who find humor in life's chaotic moments. Listen in as they prove once again that the alternative path makes for the best stories.
