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!)
