Jackalope Tales

Jackalope Tales pulls back the curtain on the strange, spooky, and sometimes shocking urban legends that lurk within the music industry. Hosts, and founding members of the platinum selling band Toadies, Charles Mooney and Lisa Umbarger explore the weird and wacky stories behind music’s biggest names. Some legends are too bizarre to be true, while others may have a kernel of truth buried beneath the hype. You’ll never listen to your favorite songs the same way again after you hear the outlandish myths behind them on Jackalope Tales.

Latest Episodes:

Ep 75 - Grin And Bear It Feb 26, 2025

In this wild, fur-covered episode of Jackalope Tales, Charles & Lisa unravel two bizarre encounters between legendary musicians and some very unexpected (and very real) bears.

Jackalope Tales dives into the near-tragic tale of Michael Buble, who, mistakes an enormous polar bear for a friend and John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) found himself held hostage in his own home - by a very hungry bear and also the authorities!

Tune in for a double dose of bear-related mayhem, musical mishaps, and the kind of absurdity only Jackalope Tales can deliver.

Ep 74 - Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosy Feb 19, 2025

In this episode of Jackalope Tales, we dive into the unexpected storm surrounding country icon Carrie Underwood and rap legend Snoop Dogg following their involvement in the latest presidential inauguration. What seemed like a routine performance or endorsement has now turned into a full-blown controversy, with fans and critics alike calling for boycotts, questioning their loyalties, and debating the role of musicians in political events.

How did their participation ignite such a backlash? Were they prepared for the public reaction, or did they underestimate the power of political divisions in today’s climate?

Join Charles & Lisa as they unravel the tangled web of fame, influence, and political fallout only on Jackalope Tales.

Ep 73 - Shoot That Poison Arrow Feb 12, 2025

Love is in the air, or is it? In this special Valentine’s Day episode of Jackalope Tales, Charles and Lisa unravel the true meanings behind two iconic songs often mistaken for romantic anthems.

First, they dig into Screaming Jay Hawkin’s haunting classic, I Put a Spell on You. On the surface, it sounds like a passionate love song, but beneath the wailing vocals and eerie blues, it’s really a dark tale of obsession and control.

Then, they shift gears to Dolly Parton’s heartfelt ballad, I Will Always Love You. Though many hear it as a tender love song, it was actually Dolly’s graceful farewell to a professional partnership, a song of independence, not devotion.

Join Lisa and Charles as they explore how these songs took on new lives in the public imagination and discuss why we sometimes hear love where it was never meant to be.

Tune in for an episode filled with music, meaning, and maybe just a little heartbreak.

Tune in every Wednesday for new episodes of Jackalope Tales podcast, urban legends in music!

Ep 66 - Tinsel, Tease, and T & A Dec 25, 2024

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.

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!
