Jackalope Tales on Radio Misfits

Some bands get accused of selling out. Geese gets accused of being a full-blown psy-op. In this episode of Jackalope Tales, Charles and Lisa dive into the increasingly ridiculous theory that the band Geese wasn’t formed naturally — they were assembled in a secret lab to psychologically damage indie rock fans. Why did they appear out of nowhere already “critically acclaimed”? Why do music journalists write about them like they discovered fire? And why does every performance feel like an experiment to see how many people will pretend to understand what’s happening? Charles follows the trail of industry plant rumors, suspicious hype, and algorithm worship, while Lisa investigates whether Geese concerts are actually covert meetings for emotionally exhausted art-school vampires. It’s dark, paranoid, and completely unnecessary — just the way Jackalope Tales likes it. “Fleeced By Geese” — because sometimes the real conspiracy is the band your friend swears is genius.[Ep 138] Become a J-Lope and follow us on social media.

In this episode of Jackalope Tales, Charles and Lisa stroll into a courtroom that smells faintly of citrus, chaos, and questionable police decisions. The saga of Afroman takes center stage—where a home raid turns into a legal circus, a surveillance nightmare becomes a music video, and somehow… lemon pound cake ends up being the most innocent thing in the room. Charles breaks down the trial like a true crime doc narrated by someone who definitely shouldn’t be allowed near a gavel, while Lisa connects the dots between small-town law enforcement, viral humiliation, and the kind of petty revenge that comes with a beat and a hook. Evidence gets weirder, testimonies get shakier, and the line between justice and performance art disappears faster than dignity in a body cam clip. Was it a lawful raid… or the world’s worst audition for “Cops: The Musical”? And when life gives you lemons… do you make lemonade—or a diss track? Pull up a chair, grab a slice, and prepare for a story where the justice system gets frosted, sliced, and served cold. [Ep 137] Become a J-Lope and follow us on social media.
