    LoCash | Chirping Zebras Podcast | Ep #125

    The Zebras switch it up a little and are joined by country music stars Chris Tyler Lucas and Preston Samuel Brust of LoCash. Riles went down to the LoCash Golf Bash in Hilton Head and did some chirping with Tony V and invited to boys to come on and talk music, sports, touring and teven the band's tour bus encountering some chicken protestors. Yeah its hilarious. The band's hit song "I Love This Life" is Riles' favorite song and they told the story of that song originally being written for Garth Brooks. This is an episode that has something for everyone. Sports fans. Music fans. Entertainment fans. Do yourself a favor and give this one a watch or listen. Huge thanks to band manager and hockey player John Lessard, who Marked coached way back in the day at Sandwich High School for setting this all up. And as LoCash would say, aint life one big country song. 🔥 BIG LOVE TO OUR SPONSOR Couldn’t do this without the beauties who keep the wheels turning.

    TONY V | Chirping Zebras Podcast | Ep #123

    Get ready for copious amounts of laughter with one of the nation's top comedians, TONY V. Tony V started his stand-up comedy career in 1982 after attending several shows at Boston’s prestigious Comedy Connection. In 1986 Tony V was named “Funniest Person in Massachusetts” by Showtime television. He followed this achievement with several performances on HBO, the Arts and Entertainment Network, Comedy Central, and MTV. From 1987 through 1992 Tony V became the “spokesperson” for American Tourister Luggage. Remember the suitcase-smashing gorilla? It was Tony who gave the ape its distinct voice and temperament. Network television was next on the list for this Boston native. Spending time in New York and L. A. paid off with multiple highly acclaimed appearances on Late Night w/ Conan O’Brien, Comedy Central’s Tough Crowd w/ Colin Quinn, and several sit-coms including Seinfeld, Boston Common, The Single Guy, and Dr. Katz Professional Therapist. Having proven himself a solid comic actor Tony then tackled dramatic roles on television working with such notable actors as Eric Roberts, Ice T, and James McDaniels from NYPD Blue. Tony’s big screen outings include State and Main, Celtic Pride, Housesitter, One Crazy Summer, and Shakes the Clown as well as the independently produced By the Sea and Abracadabra.

    JOHN VALENTIN | Chirping Zebras Podcast | Ep #121

    The boys switch it up to baseball being joined by Major Leaguer John Valentin. John played with the Boston Red Sox from 1992-2001 and finished his career with the New York Mets in 2002. He won the Silver Slugger Award in 1995, is a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame and holds the distinction of being the only major-league player to have (in different games) executed an unassisted triple play, hit for the cycle, and hit three home runs in one game. John not only talks about that triple play and hitting for the cycle, but shares his thoughts on the current Red Sox team, the MLB playoff picture, and instant replay in baseball. John played on some great teams in the 90's and had some legendary teammates like Pedro Martinez and Mo Vaughn (who he played with in college at Seton Hall). Sit back, bust open a bag of peanuts or Cracker Jacks, and enjoy some baseball talk with a great Red Sox player and all around awesome guy, John Valentin. 🔥 BIG LOVE TO OUR SPONSOR Couldn’t do this without the beauties who keep the wheels turning.
