Summary

On Episode #179 of TSE, Jethro starts us with a story of a young man consumed with the idea of becoming the “Next Big Thing” in the music business! And if you’re gonna start your own record label, why not shoot for the stars? All this gentleman needed was some money to jump-start his new career. After running through his options, though, he quickly came up with an easy way to score more money than many countries are worth! What could go wrong? Oh, gentle listener, so much! Then Lindsay’s up with a DUI stop in rural Kentucky. Picture it! An on-duty sheriff in his SUV is nearly killed by…well…another on-duty sheriff in his own SUV. Who pulled over whom?
