This week, Charles and Lisa kick off the holiday season the only way they know how—by dragging a Salvation Army bucket straight into the shadows and shaking it like it owes them money.
In Ring My Bell, your two favorite festive disasters dive into the strangely inspiring, mildly cursed world of musicians who got “discovered” while ringing that famous red kettle bell. Lisa takes on Jewel, whose icy Alaska backstory somehow gets even darker when you picture her serenading shoppers outside a Walmart while calculating which toes she might lose to frostbite and industry contracts.
Then Charles rings in the holiday cheer with Cardi B, who made the Salvation Army bell sound less like charity and more like a warning alarm for everyone within a five-block radius. By the time she was done, the kettle wasn’t the only thing shaking, and let’s just say the “right people” noticing her were probably wondering if she came with a cyclone warning label.
Together, Charles and Lisa unpack the mythology, the mayhem, and the absolute madness of musicians whose big break started with a bell, a bucket, and the sort of holiday chaos only Jackalope Tales can wrap in a bow and hand to you like the world’s most questionable gift.
Get ready for jingles, scandals, and the kind of holiday spirit that definitely voids the warranty. [Ep 115]
