🚛 NEW EPISODE DROP — S1E33
🎙️ You Can’t Whistle When You’re Smiling... or Crying

This week, Tony breaks format for one of the most powerful episodes yet — blending philosophy, trucking, and rebellion through the music of The White Buffalo.
From “I Got You” to “The Whistler,” he digs into what it means to keep whistling when the world wants you smiling or crying too hard to make a sound.

Then — buckle up — we haul some sacred cows to the slaughterhouse:

🚛 The “Driver Shortage” myth
⚖️ The illusion of freedom & the free market
📜 The two-tier justice system
💰 The hidden taxes buried in bureaucracy & the legal class

And we wrap it all up with Lee Owens, organizer of the American Truckers Jubilee in Sealy, Arkansas — talking cabovers, Make-A-Wish, and why trucking still has heart.

🎶 Song of the Week

🎸 “I Got You” – The White Buffalo

This weekend Kawanna ❤️ and I are heading out to see The White Buffalo — one of those rare artists who can shake the walls and your soul at the same time.

It’s gonna be 🔥 catching him in a small venue like The Rebel Lounge (Phoenix, AZ).
I don’t think they could possibly turn the volume up too loud for this one.

His voice hits you 🎤 … and when the lyrics hit too 💥 — it’s something special.

Last week Will and I were talking about the things we love most about trucking 🚛 —
the view 🌄, the moments of peace 🤫, that oneness with the machine ⚙️ —
and it got me thinking about this song.

🩶 “Every solitary bone inside of me
Telling me that it's my time to leave
.. I ain't got no brains in my heart

But I got you
In my veins, in my blood
And I got you
Making me insane and boil my blood

Like there ain't no other love

Hearts aren't always red
They're black and blue
But I got you"

Haha… these damn trucks — they capture your heart ❤️‍🔥, they get in your veins and in your blood.
