Brook Jolley and Laura Crockrell recap a completely normal weekend at Roasted Hemp Co, which apparently now includes Tokers Got Talent, a packed rap show, a karaoke contest, a semi-viral fight, and one tiny dog with strong opinions about vaping.

Karaoke contest winner Callie Zipf joins the show to talk about winning with Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams,” picking songs that actually fit your voice, Hall & Oates, Mariah Carey, and the Jackbox moment that made an entire room question reality when the screen simply said, “you are dead.”

Somewhere after that, the episode falls into Tennessee hemp laws, Opryland memories, Disney World trauma, Tom Green, X-Files, old limerick books, questionable performance art, and whether Brook’s removed scalp lump technically contained his empathy.

Get Roasted Morning Buds Afternoon Delight is back with Brook Jolley, Laura Crockrell, Soundboy, and the usual Roasted Hemp Co. chaos.

This episode covers a full week of Cookeville weirdness, including the upcoming karaoke contest, Tokers Got Talent, audience judging, local comedy shows, Tennessee hemp laws, Nashville sports money, and why every live event eventually becomes a controlled substance with microphones.

Brook and Laura also spiral through It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Boys, Game of Thrones, The X-Files, terrible TV endings, Don Rickles, Gilligan’s Island conspiracy theories, raw milk, IHOP closing, dental trauma, and small-town Tennessee survival.

At the end of the episode, Kaleb Robinson from Slugfest Fights joins the show to talk about fighting three times in one night, bodybuilding, cardio, rookie tournaments, and what it feels like when a local combat sports event turns into a full-body job interview with punches.

A Tennessee comedy podcast recorded live at Roasted Hemp Co. in Cookeville, featuring stand-up comics, local events, fight talk, pop culture arguments, hemp bar nonsense, and the kind of Appalachian morning show energy that should probably be court monitored.

Episode Description

Grab your favorite syrup and cool off with Brook and Laura for an absolutely chaotic, high-energy afternoon installment of Morning Buds' Afternoon Delight! Today, the buds are live, elevated, and diving headfirst into everything from local politics to comic book lore.

Here’s what’s on the roasting block today:

• Dudeism & Vinyl Weddings: Brook shares the legendary tale of getting ordained online just to spite a homophobic local clerk, which somehow resulted in him officiating a shotgun wedding inside a tiny recording booth at Jack White’s Third Man Records.

• The Banned Book Bureaucracy: The buds tackle the absolute absurdity of Knoxville libraries banning Roots (an official Tennessee state book) and Shell Silverstein's A Light in the Attic (apparently for "promoting cannibalism").

• Laura's "Private Collection": Laura unboxes some gems from her stash, leading to a deep dive into why she owns five different printings of Hunter S. Thompson's The Great Shark Hunt, a look at an incredibly offensive 1980s joke book, and the story of her childhood church anime club.

• The Boys Finale Breakdown: A hilariously unfiltered, spoiler-filled recap of the latest season of Amazon’s The Boys. We're talking superpowered Vs, Homelander, and some very... unique superpower combat styles.

• A Win for Local Performers: Brook breaks down Tennessee's new non-compete law and explains how it accidentally completely freed up independent gig-workers and comedians making under $70k.

• Tuesday: Trivia Night

• Wednesday: Karaoke

• Thursday: Dab Co.

• Friday: Puff & Paint (Hosted by Ali Nicole—featuring cheesecakes from Sam's Club!)
