This week's episode was supposed to be interviewing my friend Toby Morse. Instead he flipped the script and interviewed me. This one is 3 hours long. And it's deep, raw, intense, emotional and we both cried a lot. And it turned into an episode go Toby's One Life One Chance Podcast, as well as an episode of Tuesdays With Jakey. Enjoy. I guess?

This week I ramble about the little existential crises I go through between staying put and finding adventure. And how the two don't have to be mutually exclusive. Plus a tale about a ghost town at the end of a long ass dirt road, the meaning of the middle of nowhere and how I accidentally ended up finding a triathlon to compete in this summer!

This week I ramble about my first trip to socialize with friends since the Pandemic started. I flew to LA, saw a bunch of buds, rode in a van with the band H2O to their show in Phoenix and then renewed the vows of my besties Toby and Moon Morse for their 25th wedding anniversary. Dressed as a unicorn, naturally.

Plus the MCCALM shirts have arrived!!! If you'd like to support this podcast and rep this Quiet Little White-Bred Pink-Neck Idaho Mountain Town order away at https://rocksoff.bigcartel.com

This week I ramble about my trip to the world's most dangerous motorcycle race - The Isle of Man TT. the race averages over a death a year for the competitors, and untold more deaths of the numerous tourists who show up to surreptitiously race the road course at night after the official racing is done for the day. I also explain why I quit twitter and why I just want to focus on things that bring me joy in the digital sphere.

As much as I enjoy rambling by myself for an hour so every Tuesday, today marks the first of what will be a semi-regular series of bonus episodes entitled "Fridays With Friends" where I chew the fat with some interesting buds. Today I speak with Adam Bauer of Speakeasy Meats, the accidental sponsor of Tuesdays With Jakey. We talk about how and why he started a renegade meat smoking business when Covid temporarily snuffed out his 25 year career as a music booking agent.

This week I take the episode OUTSIDE and record in the woods outside of my luxurious mountain estate up here in McCalm, Idaho. I get into the panic about going back to real life, whether or not wearing a mask is now the Left version of the MAGA hat, and I recount my (acid) trip to Woodstock 99, getting stuck between bridges on a Circle Line Boat and of course Smoked Meat!

This week I pull out some of my more fun music biz anecdotes. The long and convoluted journey of how I finally got David Allan Coe to play in NYC - on a boat no less! - after more than 30 years without coming to NYC. I explain why I once paid a deposit to the William Morris Agency in a huge bag of $1 bills, and my theory on why THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG ;) And then I ramble about my last two weekend adventures of going to a Rodeo in Riggins, ID last weekend and then a Demolition Derby in Lewiston this past weekend.

This week I replace my usual ramblings and musings with an episode focused on how the music business *really* works. I dig into the concert end of the biz myself from arenas right on down to everyone's favorite venue - the Rocks Off Concert Cruise! And then I bring on our very first guest Disco David Hoffman of Reservoir Media to do a comprehensive dive into the world of music publishing aka the songwriter end of the business. A must listen for any music head!

Its been 5 years since PRINCE has left us, so this week I pick my top 3 Live Prince Experiences, out of the 43 times Ive seen him. And I ramble a little about my trip to Vegas and my reunion with my dearly missed Motorcycle and my cannonball run back home to McCalm Idaho!

18 months ago, to the day, the Las Vegas Police Department broke down the door of my room at the Cosmopolitan to save me from my suicidal self. Sort of. As weird as that seems, this isn't a depressing episode, but more has to do with why I chose Vegas as my final stop when I was suicidal. Spoiler alert - I'M STILL ALIVE! And very happy to be here. I recount a bunch of my Vegas escapades in this episode, and it's pretty much the opposite of a depressing take on things. Weird, sure! But thats Tuesdays With Jakey!
