This week on Life with ROJO, we're asking the big questions—like which animal would make the best president, and why does my washer keep trying to smuggle out small household items? We’ll take a wholesome detour into some quality one-on-one time with Mark’s youngest son (spoiler: he's the boss), dive into the wonderfully weird world of cults (yep, still weird), and uncover the mystery of unclaimed property—because apparently, people just leave behind treasure like it's no big deal.It’s weird, it’s warm, it’s Life with ROJO. Come for the stories, stay because you’re still trying to figure out how a rubber duck ended up in the spin cycle.Links:White Oak Mountain Coffeewhiteoakmountaincoffee.comROJO listeners can get 10% their order using code ROJO10 at checkout!Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/LifeWithROJO/Instagram:@lifewithrojoTikTok:@life.with.rojoYoutube:https://youtube.com/@lifewithrojo?si=l1wDZbgJxXR3rt0T

Now we’re all just hoping for a dinner invite to the bunker buffet.Then we hit the lanes for some classic Rojo storytelling—bowling alley chaos, wild shifts, and the kind of behind-the-scenes moments that only happen when the lights are low and the pins are flying.

Strap in, fellas — this episode of Life with Rojo is a full-throttle ride through backroad mayhem and historical gold. We’re talkin’ about the time Rojo unintentionally went full Fast & the Furriest on some unsuspecting wildlife, the sheer audacity of the Louisiana Purchase (yes, we bought half the country like it was on Facebook Marketplace), and why unleavened bread is the real MVP — simple, sturdy, and no fluff, just like your granddad’s handshake.It’s raw, it’s real, it’s ridiculously entertaining. Rojo’s bringing the grit, the laughs, and enough off-the-rails commentary to keep your engine running. Buckle up — it’s a wild one.Links:White Oak Mountain Coffeewhiteoakmountaincoffee.comROJO listeners can get 10% their order using code ROJO10 at checkout!Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/LifeWithROJO/Instagram:@lifewithrojoTikTok:@life.with.rojoYoutube:https://youtube.com/@lifewithrojo?si=l1wDZbgJxXR3rt0T

In this episode of Life with Rojo, the guys dive deep into… absolutely nothing and everything at the same time. Austin takes a nostalgic trip back to his college days (yes, the stories are as chaotic as you'd expect), while Mark sparks a heated debate over whether his shoes are blue, gray, or just a cry for help. And taxes? Let’s just say they come up—but only as a jumping-off point for a hilarious list of things they’d rather be doing instead. It’s nonsense, it’s nostalgic, and it’s totally Rojo.Links:White Oak Mountain Coffeewhiteoakmountaincoffee.comROJO listeners can get 10% their order using code ROJO10 at checkout!Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/LifeWithROJO/Instagram:@lifewithrojoTikTok:@life.with.rojoYoutube:https://youtube.com/@lifewithrojo?si=l1wDZbgJxXR3rt0T
