You're not the only one that can write music.
I think that's good voice.
This is a very special song just for you. Your headphones are supposed to go over your ears.
My headphones.
Start feeding back on the mic. Comedian, there's Radio eight forty w h A s I'm Dwight witting that there is a Dave Jennings. Tom Maybe joins the show, and Caribou is in here, the Kealing Brothers. It's like a who's who. It's like a who's Who. We're gonna talk to Caribou at the at the bottom of the hour, and they're gonna be doing some good for the neighborhood. But Tom Maybe going out to the Big Bear Comedy Festival, will be working with Kevin nealand Adam Carolla.
You're gonna be a bunch of comics house.
You're gonna be stopping thee Tom, it's my interview. Uh No, but seriously, and you're gonna be stopping along the way doing maybe Maybe in America hits. And that's another way that you reinvented yourself. You had the CMT show Maybe in America and then you find out, you know what, I would make more money doing this on my own on a platform like YouTube, and so you leave it, and you do you may well.
Maybe in America is supposed to be a two episodes special, okay, and we end up doing eight I think, and they ran and it was doing it did well. Then it got to the points that more people was watching the toaster than watching my TV show. So don't don't build up like I chose to leave it.
I think one hell of a toaster. Toasters from a jay hillbred stockyard.
Yes, yes, yeah, used to be a greyhound. Yeah the U but yeah. And then I people are like, you need to do YouTube. No, no, no, I got to get on to another TV show, movie or whatever, and and uh and I start learning about this social media. I've never been more recognized in public movie and did natural Born pranks with lion Gate and yes that's not
a matter of fr Netflix right now. But see, I've done all these things and nothing has made me more popular than like Facebook and YouTube and Twitter and TikTok and Instagram.
I work them all. I have to.
I'm like, it's kind of weird being my age, you know, doing the social media. And plus I don't get ten pages of notes, you know, we think you'd be funny if you had a purple shirt on, you know whatever, you know, and I really like being my own little boss and doesn't do anything.
So I think it's fascinating because then you took and you always reinvest in your career and you reinvest in in retirement, with with with properties. But I found it fascinating. I want to put too much your finances out there, but here we go. You had a double suite office complex that you built a studio out of. You paid for half of that, like one office, you paid for one office off one video. So successful, and.
You know that's what that's that's what happened on Hilton Had Island was And I'm not trying to just as I would I would, trust me.
Sometimes it's way up there.
And then sometimes it's four dollars. I'm like, am I going to donate some blood?
You know, it's question the four dollars? Don't going Wait a minute.
My wife cracks up laughing, and I said, the algorithm gods or hate me right now?
Oh my guys, I hate me.
So she's like, oh my gosh, it's you know, how long since two thousand and nine you've been doing social and it's always the up and down. But when you're self employed, you know, I'm one move away from buying an airplane or one move away from being homeless. And that's how it's always been. And I still call my wife and hey, I got forty bucks out of ATM. She's like, I think you're fine, You're good, you know.
But it's just the way I was just brought up, you know, extremely single parent, extremely poor.
You know.
And so now when I and my thing is I just my my old CD.
Just I got to keep my craft together, you know, you know that kind of thing.
So, but you're very political sometimes on social media it's bad. Is that a bad move? Number one mentally?
But number two, well, if you want to lose half your following.
Games, that's where I was.
That's where I was, by well by when back when Trump and Hillary are gonna, I had I got. I got two major pages on Facebook, tomm a comedy Maybe in America together four million followers. One page was off for Hillary, another page was offered. But here here lately, I'm like, guys, if you love the Prime, you love the open borders, you love hoigh gas prices, do and keep voting a withy your vote, man, and I'm like, shut the hell up, Tom, I mean I like that and not delete it.
And man, know, because I was getting really harsh for a while, I started walking it back, walking it back, and I'm like, you know what, I'm.
Just gonna Nothing good could come from telling nobody the vote republican.
I mean, you're not good. I mean I want you to, but I will never talk about vote republican.
Halving the two pages reminds me of because you always did all these videos.
Every one page will get canceled or get fired right if we get it, one will get pushed up in the get so and at the I had a management company for a while, Beverly Hills for social It's called the Fight Me and said, you want to combine these two paid to be one. I said, no, I don't, because I'm going to do something stupid or say something stupid, and I'll get put in you know, Facebook jail for you know, for sixty days, and you won't make any money. And then I can't tell you how many times that
has happened, that this one's kicking ass. And all of a sudden, I say something stupid, right, and I just I say a word that rhymes trump, and I'll put your hands.
On no this, I'm swearing on my mother's eyes right now. If I post something with word law enforcement or like l MPD something like that, it gets suppressed because you know, I know, I can post something and it'll get an X amount of likes, no matter what. It could be a dog, turd, it could be whatever, right, right right. If I post something and involves law enforcement, it immediately gets suppressed. Same with my wife. It's amazing. I'm serious, the algorithms they have.
It's just political stuff social get can she How was that? Your wife's a politician? Well, how how's that with social?
With her?
Can she promote? And can you promote her?
She's got her own she's got her own, uh, Susan Tyler Whitten State representative page. And then she has her own for example, she can block anybody on our on our private page. But if you're a public official, if you're in the House of Representatives like she is, she can't. Is illegal for her to block people.
Wow, but you.
Were talking about you were talking about what was it? It reminded me of the time, Oh, I know, it was you having a Hillary page and a trunk page. There was one video you did where you went to a bar and it was the uk U of L basketball game. No, it wasn't. It was a football game. And so U of L gets the lead and you go in the bathroom and put on the U of L shirt.
All right, I would put to whoever whatever team was winning. I would throw the jersey on.
And people people would start looking at you, giving you flack, and you're just that, and then uh, I want to I want to talk for Hey, we want to talk for one second about know, you know.
Real quick, you know rock you know Dave Moody or Buddy Dave Many Yeah, I love Dave. He he got us like backstage passes through the Pittsburgh Steelers game or whatever.
Yeah, and we all had her and we all went up there.
And I went up there and I didn't anybody know, but and there's a picture of me at up in the stadium up and I got a baseball glove.
I took.
I took a baseball glove. I put this small one. I'm out there.
I want to get one, Dave said. Dave Moody says one of the worst things he ever did was give me front row. When he was he played bass for Billy Ray Cyrus for years and years and years. So Billy Ray Cyrus comes to the UH Caesars the concert Hall and he goes, hey, man, come on out meet Billy and then we'll give you front row and your girls. So we did. And during the show, before the show,
I might have overserved myself a little bit. Oh boy, I've been So they come out and like two songs into it, I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, Chance against the stage, Dave Movie.
Day God.
And so he starts sleeking back back to the back behind the drum ra and he's given me the finger across the throat. Shut up, shut up. And the more he does that, the latter I get well. Starts to irritate Uh Billy Ray because.
He's just how do you recover? And you recovered?
We're cool?
Now, can I tell you one quick?
So I'm getting ready to do my first comedy special and uh and you guys notice I'm not a drugs I bleep my eyes quite a bit. I got Tourette syndrome and it mind's just a facial tech.

Look, you know right, look you're going to buy You're going to buy a shirt anyway. And those people, those people the vineyard, they don't need your money. And you never played polo. We don't need a polo shirt. Every penny, every cent of profit goes back to a shelter. Maybe you'll tell me Tom, this shelter struggling. I will tell you, all right, well, we got this bucket of money or whatever, a cup of money, whatever it turns out to be,
go so that shelter. And when and you've done them with me, when budget permits, I'll go into a shelter and I will like, don't even tell them, and we'll just give them a bunch of computers, and we give dog dogs makeover, we brite massage therapist.
Then for their employees, we've.
Done a lot of cool stuff and sometimes they're bigger and better than others. And then I'll do a show and then all the money from the show we'll go back to the shelter. And we've done like four of those now and that they've worked out well, so I don't even get pa.
So this clothing line, I'm sorry, No, that's okay, that's okay, but no, it's it's it's a and like you said.

And of course we got to talk about Cariboo, one of the best bands ever come out of Louisville, Kentucky. I know, I'm serious, man. I mean, you guys are so tight and you have the horn section. It's unbelievable that the show that that Cariboo puts on. And here's an opportunity to go see this great band and do some good for the neighborhood folks. Listen up, loved ones.
Malachi Green, he works in the third division. He's got a two year old two years old stage four cancer neuroplastoma I think it's what it's called, already had multiple surgeries, and this family is in dire straits, desperate need, right.
That's correct.
Yeah, how are you? How are we going to help out this family? Because I got to tell you it's been bad and financially they're being drained right now. And Louisville is known for rallying around each other, and this is one of those instances where we needed talk about what we're gonna do here.
Well, thank you, Dwight.
On October the nineteenth, the third, a lot of the third Division officers have gotten together and organized an event.
It's going to be at the.
FOP Lodge Hall sixty two oh four Price Lane out in Okhowna.
We're gonna have it outside. We're gonna be covered.
It's a rainer shine event starts about four o'clock and we've named it Hope for Montana. That's the little one's name, Montana. And we're gonna have silent auction. There's gonna be a food buffet provided by Calias. Twenty dollars is all that's gonna cost to get twenty bucks.
Get you get the buffet.
There will be alcoholic beverages served, sold and served, and we'll have inflatables for the kids.
This is a family event.
We will have cornhole competition, we will have music and the tent and the music tent Cariboo will be performing and on behalf of Caribou. We're glad to be involved in this. We are celebrating our fiftieth year entertaining Littleville.
And around around the area. Wow.
Year long, we've been doing and been doing benefits to honor our fiftieth year. This may be the last one of the year, but not the last gig with the last benefit of the year, and so the whole band is in on it. We'll be there just blasting fouling glick from wd.
Rb R MC for the day. That's a great MC.
Yeah, we're gonna have a ball. We're gonna get get silly out there and tell all your friends and family bring a chair. You will be covered.
Like I said, Rainer Shine, we need this to happen for this family. Mom is a nurse.
She had to quit her job because it was so hectic and so busy to get the child back and forth to physicians and hospitals. Officer Malekai, he works out in the third division, full time officer.
We got to help this family.
They are just.
Drained and all the financial hope we can give them will be well helped.
To save this kid.
Like you said, we all pull together, LPD pulls together. We're a family. So come on out. October nineteenth starts about four o'clock. Twenty dollars at the doors. All that's going to cost will fid you. You can party and have some good music to listen to.
And I got to tell you cancer sucks, but man, two year old child is just not fair. Two year old child with cancer. It's not for that child. It's you know, the child should be just doing two year old things, playing with blocks, doing whatever two year old does. And especially not fair for the mom and dad and you have a blessing of a child and now going through this. It's just not fair. But Cariboo, you're always
there doing good for the neighborhood. Bill What is it about Caribou that constantly I mean, you step up, you step up, And I know how monotonous and how grueling that gets people tugging on and you non stop. Hey, I got because there's no shortage of events and want uh what what? What gave you guys the uh fortitude to go ahead and go through with all of these charity gigs because I got to tell you you've done a lot of them.
Well, it's for the same reason we put the band together. Begin with the love of music and getting out and playing and having people dancing and having a good time and smiling and really getting into the music. And of course fifty years seems like a long time. It went by pretty quick. When John decided to put this band together way back when, uh, and we we never missed an opportunity if somebody's in need. You know, the band
is a perfect vehicle for that. It's one of the songs we do, by the way, very good and uh so we don't want to pass up any opportunity we can fit in the schedule.
The hard part is fitting it in the schedule.
Do you remember when I told you I was gonna get the band together?
Yeah?
I remember what I said to you that day when I asked you to be in the band.
Yeah, he said, you want to be my trumpet player? And I said, why would I do that, I've already got a girlfriend.
And he but you talked me into it, yeah, yesterday.
Well well hang on, so that could be insulting because, uh Charlie Watt from the Stones actually punched Mick Jagger in the nose one time because early on he referred to him as my drummer. Oh yeah, in an interview. So Charlie Watch walked down the hotel room hallway, knocked on the door, Jagger open up, hit him square in the nose and said, I'm not your drummer, you're my lead singer. But so when you all start the band, how how old are you? And did you think that you'd be together for this long.
I think John did. Yeah.
Really we were seventeen eighteen, maybe senior years that way. He got this idea going and we started rehearsing in my grandmother's garage. Like all the bands you got starting a garage. I mean, yeah, you don't, You're not a band. And now we never dreamed I had. I remember the first Cariby shirt was was handmade by mix wife. She
made the first Karriby team shirt. And then we started printing T shirts because I thought, well, you know, one day the band's going to break up and we need something that we can hold onto that has the name on its right. Remember that, right, We're still printing T shirts and I think you have one.
I know, I definitely have one. I've got I've got the American flag, red white and blue one, and I usually wear it to the fourth of July celebration that you guys are at. But one thing about it that it didn't dawn on me. The sea in Cariboo mimics the sea in Chicago because you all were Chicago fans. It's still harder this day. As a matter of fact, I'll be driving down the road and I'll be a red light and in Chicago beyond. You know this would be true. I'll show you a text of the of
the of the radio showing the Chicago show. Whenever I think Chicago, I think of Cariboo. How did y'all come up with the using the Chicago see? Just big fans?
Yeah, not only that.
Back in the day, the Cariboo rants out in Nederland, Colorado was a big, famous recording studio and a lot of big names games including Chicago recorded there. Elton John, a lot of big names and very famous place. It has since burned. I don't think there's much building left. It all out there, but it's now been donated. It's up for servation.
It's up for sale for forty eight million, nine hundred thousand dollars. You can have it.
Oh wow, I might have to get it. Yeah. Yeah. Elton John actually had an album called Character right, Yeah.
That's where he did it.
We stole the name and said, hey, we like him so much, we'll name the band after the ranch.
So it's the care of it.
Well, listen, Louis Kentucky's blessed for fifty years to have Caribou as a band. But once again they're doing good for the neighborhood and folks, listen, loved ones, they need your help. Malachai Green only a third division officer, only two years old. Is the child that's in need stage four cancer. Go ahead and give the details one more time.

Okay for that twelve listener, crack, I have some audio. I have some audio from the very first Caribou gig.
Oh wow wow, oh oh wow.
Oh I remember that gig.
Yeah, that was a hard song to learn. This was in eighteen twelve. It was was this when the gold Rush hit, Dave. I think before that actually, because I remember they had the Caribou gold Rush t shirts. If you went you bought a pick at old Man McGregor's pick store, you got a free Caribou shirt.
That's a good one.
Thank you, real quick though, real quick. And if you don't have this lined up, we're gonna have you all back on before and I'll get on social media. Is there a way if people can't attend that they can donate. Has there been a GoFundMe or is there anything like that set up? If not, get me the details and I'll get it out there.
Okay, Yeah, there is actually a QR code. Okay, but of course have to see the flyer.
I'm fifty six. I don't have a QR cold. I tried it yesterday for Louder than Life and I got frustrated with my wife. Here, you do it. Listen.
Can I say one more thing?
Absolutely?
Okay, So back to Montana, the child that's in me.
Uh, you know, I've got I got four adult children, they've got kids. I got nine grandchildren. Every single one of them is healthy, not a single thing wrong with them, you know, except when they sure had kids, know, which is often. John has a ton of kids too. Uh, we're lucky, we're blessed.
Yeah.
Uh, you know, Caribou can do this for the for the family, and if everybody can do this for the family, then this kid is going to live longer. And this benefit is very important. And Malachi is a great guy, and so his wife is just wonderful human being. And when this happens to a family, they're devastated, and they are they are drained as far as financial.
Malachi can't work enough off duty. He can't.
There's enough ours in the day, and he you know, he's got to sleep sometime, which I'm sure that's what he's doing. But you know, those of us that have been blessed with healthy children, yes, let's go for this right and help this family who's blessed with a child.
And uh and need some help.
