Ep. 87... SOUTHEAST MORTAL KOMBAT NATIONALS IV
Howdy y'all!
Welcome to one of the most... anticipated?... episodes of each and every year... SOUTHEAST MORTAL KOMBAT NATIONALS IV!
Join Shay, Farva and LMC as we discuss our recent trip to Maggie Valley for the 30th Annual Minitruck Nationals - and as usual, we talk mostly about cruising and food!
Ride along as we discuss tiny toilets and plunging rooflines, our favorite trucks and moments of the weekend, an impromptu tattoo session, the benefits of child labor - AKA LCD Kid - and wrap up with our goals for the season in 2024!
Thank all eight and a half of y'all for continuing to join us on this journey. Each and every one of you all make it worth it!
Yes, this episode was supposed to go up Friday. Our apologies - we ran into some.. umm... editing issues. (Upon further review with our internal moral police, we might have had to remove 20 minutes or so. Oops. Sometimes it's bad, even for us.)
Ep 86 - LCD Previews TERMINAL TAKEOVER - with Glenn and Dizzy!
Howdy y'all!
Join us as we sit down with the star of Terminal Takeover - Glenn Brown! Joined by his Custom Scene Podcast partner Don Dizzy Davis, we have a full house as we preview the upcoming Terminal Takeover and wet y'alls whistle for the weekend to come!
Pull up a chair on our virtual front porch and sit a spell as we do what we do best - a bunch of minitruckers sitting around telling tales!
Ep. 85: LCD Talks About... Killin' Time!
Howdy y'all!
While the most of you'ins are enjoying your trip to/at/back from Lone Star Throwdown, your "favorite hillbillies" are doing what comes best... eating. Talking about comic book movies. Discussing road trip plans that probably will never happen.
Join us for 2+ hours as we help y'all kill some time while on the road!
Enjoy!
Episode 84: "LCD Talks About... 2024 Preview!"
Y'all - 2023 is over. It's done. So what's next?

Ep. 83: The Shannon Bullis Episode!
We decided to do a Season Recap episode - and then walked in Shannon Bullis. When Shannon Bullis randomly shows up in Eastern Kentucky, then you do a Shannon Bullis episode.
Also - we try Canadian Mountain Dew, and Shay learns Algebra!
Ep. 82 - The Cruising with Cruisers Recap Episode!
It's the Cruising with Cruisers recap episode.
Apologies in advance. LMC is a dick.
Enjoy!
Ep. 81 - Quick CWC Reaction with OLP and Friends!
*** Ep. 81: "Quick CWC Reaction with OLP and Friends!" drops at 5:01PM EST today! ***
(NOTE: We have a LOOOONG thank you/recap episode coming soon; but this one is a special quick reaction that I think will blow people's minds. -LMC)
Look who made it up into the studio in the hills and hollers of Eastern Kentucky?
That's right! Jason Ballard and Mike Murray from Our Lifestyle Podcast joins us, along with a cast of super star friends (that I'm going to attempt to tag in the photo!) to do a short but immediate late night live reaction towards the KSP Cruising with Cruisers Car Show show!
We will let the photo and the recording speak for itself - this is a can't miss episode... dare I say, from the top rope?

Ep. 80: T'was the Night before CWC
Howdy y'all!
This is the LAST episode before CwC!
You've heard us talk about CwC enough. This is a little different - we hit a few last minute housekeeping things that may be of interest to y'all.
Plus - a QUICK recap on the amazing weekend at SlammedEnuff and FairEnuf; there will be another episode soon to recap those in detail!
Fair warning - this episode recording didn't even start until almost 1:00am. Enjoy!
Ep. 79: LCD Talks About... Fair Enuff! w/ Justin Wyatt
Straight from the hills and hollers of... East Tennessee! That's right, we're once again joined by Everybody's favorite JV-team member, Justin "Nascar White" Wyatt! Join us on this action-packed episode where we spend time with our favorite Virginia/Tennessee cousin, and talk about truck stuff, holler stuff, and his upcoming show Fair Enuff! (September 30th, Greenville, TN).
Ep. 78: The Shane and Mitchell and Showdown in the Valley Episode!
Howdy y'all!
It aint' real neighborly of us to keep you waiting on a new episde, but this one is worth the wait! We have a full house tonight, complete with 100% more Farva, as well as Jeremy - plus we are joined by Special Guests Shane and Mitchell of the Showdown in the Valley, and Ducks and Trucks promoter Dustin Buttery!
Pull up a rocking chair, shuck some beans and sit a spell as we talk with our Asheville cousins about their upcoming event!
Sadly, no Taffr this episode. Sometimes... he's a beach bum.
Ep. 77: LCD Talks About... The Days before the Sparks Show!
Why, the LCD Crew is heading back to the hills and hollers of Pigeon Forge, TN!
That's right - join Shay, Taffr and LMC (along with a surprise "just the tip" appearance of Josh Wayne, which immediately gets edited out) as they all sit around and poorly plan the upcoming weekend!
Hear us talk about... food plans, try several various Mountain Dews, and do live troubleshooting of a TBI/Carb V8 swap.
It'll be a regular hoot nanny to listen to on your way to the Sparks show this weekend!
Ep. 76: LCD Talks About.. We swear this isn't a filler episode!
Join Josh Wayne Couch as well as LMC and Shay for a rollicking episode full of .... comic book stuff, movie stuff, guilty pleasures, and we discuss old country music stars being immortals in the vein of the Highlander movies. We also explain the new LCD shirt which drops Monday for Pre-Order! This one is pretty heart felt. (There is a LOT of stuff that has happened this week, but we're saving the hardcore minitruck stuff for next episode! Enjoy!)
Ep. 75: Gayheart, Robbie, Justin, Et. Al - the EPIC 75th Episode!
Sometimes, we invite multiple guests and hope one or two show up.
This time - they ALL showed up.
Join us for one of the most massive episodes we've ever had, as almost the full LCD crew is there (we all miss Farva), as well as special guests Justin Wyatt of Fair Enuf Show, Robbie Williams of Static Nationals, and Trooper Matt Gayheart, Public Affairs Officer for Kentucky State Police Post 13. I don't say this often, but this is a DON'T MISS EPISODE.
Who should listen? Every body. Even Jon Lily's kids. (At least until Gayheart leaves).
Ep. 74: LCD Talks About... Spilled Milk!
Howdy y'all!
Join Shay, Taffr and LMC to hear how the LCD Twitch Live Stream went. (Spoiler - it was a train wreck). Equal parts train wreck - we "record" for 20 minutes without actually hitting the record button. Jonathan Butler guests stars on this episode! Plus - we discuss our next shows coming up, Shay's middle name, supercars in Gatlinburg, TN, Chick-Fil-A, Ferrari Owners who can't change their own tires - and more!
Ep. 73 - LCD Talks About... Southeast Mortal Kombat Nationals 3
Howdy y'all!
It's that time again! We like to welcome in new listeners (to replace the ones we lost) every year right after the Mini Nats in Maggie Valley with our 3rd Annual review episode... Southeast Mortal Kombat Nationals!
So what do we do to retain these new listeners, and to ensure that they find valuable content within the confined of Lowest Common Denominator?
Do we interview famous, special guests?
Do we analyze the newest debuts, and debate on which clubs showed the hardest?
Do we give our hot takes on the scene over the weekend?
Nah.
We read several definitions off of the Urban Dictionary, discuss old western movies, and talk about Dan Harvey's moustache.
Enjoy!
EP. 72: LCD Talks About... Maggie Valley Mini Nats PREVIEW!

Howdy y'all!
In the likey last episode before the Southeast Minitruck Nationals, join LMC and Shay (now with 100% more Farva!) as they discuss the plans for the next couple weeks!
We talk new LCD merchandise - much of which helps animals! -, maggie valley restaurants, horrible energy drinks, truck debuts (including pictures of LMC's Xtreme that were delivered in real time during the recording), plus we recap Farva's wedding - AND call random minitruckers for no apparent reason!
Enjoy a super long, 3+ hour episode that is literally a perfect example of three minitruckers sitting around a parking lot, BS'ing on their tailgates.
COME SEE US ON THE ROAD AT:
April 15th - Cruisin' Down on the Farm - Junction City, TN

Ep. 71... LCD Talks About... Taffr & Friends Ranger Hour!
Howdy y’all! LMC was outnumbered this time. So it looks like we talk about rangers.

Sigh.

Ep. 70: LCD Talks About... A Pre-Show for the Recap Episode!
Howdy y'all!
So this was supposed to be a recap episode for 2022.
Supposed to be.
We didn't quite make it.
Enjoy THREE HOURS of a full house - including Dustin Buttery from Ducks and Trucks fame! - sit around and pretty much discuss... well, things you would sit around and discuss in a parking lot.
Ep. 69: LCD Talks About... Our Influences! PART 1
*** Episode 69: " LCD Talks About... Our Influences! PART 1" drops tonight at 7:00PM EST! ***
Howdy y'all, and welcome to the first #LCDPodcast episode of 2023!
We went back to the original format for this episode - this time, it's just Shay, LMC and Jeremy hanging out and talking about what has influenced us over our years in the minitruck world. This is a true parking lot BS session. This topic was WAY too much for just one episode, and will be revisited with more parts soon!
PS: There might be an unplanned surprise phone call from an upcoming major guest! That's what we get for forgetting to put the phone off the hook while we record!
For now, "Enjoy" what made us "famous" (at least to 8.5 listeners!) by pulling up a chair and sitting around with us as we tell old stories that are irrelevant to anyone else!

Over 1400 miles round trip. So how do we treat em? Mostly by making group prank calls to other unsuspecting minitruckers. Enjoy!

***** EP. 64 - "The Mark Kottwitz and Awesome Rob Episode!" drops tonight at 11:55pm! *****
Howdy y'all!
So what happens when two of the greatest minds in the minitruck scene, each from 8 hours away in opposite directions and full of years of minitruck history and wisdom, join's the LCD crew in studio?
We completely waste them by discussing the merits of Chocolate Milk versus Chocolate Drink and talking about cartoons.
(FYI: This is the night BEFORE "Cruising with Cruisers", in which both of these guys attended - so we get a few minutes of Trooper Burton and a nice amount of the returning Farva - don't worry, the 2nd Annual KSP Cruising with Cruisers Car Show - and we will also recap SEVERAL shows we've missed including Showdown In The Valley - soon!)

Dustin Buttery from Ducks and Trucks fame joins us in studio and even tries to bring his own Generic Mountain Dew for us to try!
It's the usual offensiveness from start to finish that you've come to expect from the #LCDPodcast.
Ep. 61: LCD Talks about... Tough Love for Show Promoters!
*** Ep. 61: "LCD Talks About... Tough Love for Show Promoters!" is now online! ***
Hey y'all!
This episode is different. While we try to spare some feelings as much as possible, we thought that maybe a little "tough love" was in order.
There have been some local shows recently - some of which we think have a LOT of potential and would love to help grow! - but we have noticed a misstep or two that we foresee as being a threat to their longevity. In this episode, join us as we try and provide a little insight - from old and current show promoters - as to what can be done to fix some mistakes and maybe save and/or improve some shows before it's too late!
We sure don't try to hurt anyone's feelings here; however, we are very honest about some of the stuff we have seen and try to educate y'all from OUR mistakes that we have made over the last many years in running shows - ALL show promoters, *ALL* of us have made mistakes and learn from them. We give y'all the chance to learn from ours as well! Again - not trying to offend anyone, although we probably will - but trust us in that advice like this would have been VERY welcome when Shay and LMC were actively doing car shows!

We talk just briefly about the flood, but focus mainly on the Sparks Show and we learn a little history of the Custom Scene podcast. Also - parenting advice from Glenn.
Ep. 59: The Erik Jones Episode
Howdy Y'all!
This is a can't miss episode - we are joined in studio by Erik Jones of Graphic Disorder fame. Chances are - you own several of the shirts he has designed over the years. With this kind of mind in studio, you would expect us to ask the hard hitting questions about the T-Shirt industry, inspiration, background, etc?
Nah.
We mostly talk about cereal, Candadian Kit Kats (which are filled with Erlk meat and maple syrup) and the best - and worst - shows.
Who should listen to this epic mega-episode?
Nobody.

"Enjoy"!
Ep. 57: LCD Talks About... Food!
So it's been a month y'all - and what better way to show how relevant we are, than to have an episode... with absolutely no direction and planning whatsoever. So we talk about Food. Yup, it's a food episode. Just... Food. Shay and LMC talk about food. (Plus a few upcoming shows).
Who should listen to this episode? Nobody!
"Enjoy".
Ep. 56: Powder Coat the World with Vic Pate and Black Label Coatings

In this episode, your favorite hillbillies are joined in-studio by the one and only Vic Pate from Black Label Coatings, the nation's hottest powder coating business!

Ep. 54 - The Ageless Jon Lilly
Howdy y'all!
Join us as we loop back around to one of our earliest guests, the ageless wonder, Jon Lilly! Jon made the 3+ hour trek from Beckley, West Virginia to join us in-studio this time! Pull up a rocker and sit back while we tell stories of his youth, from colonizing the Americas and the revolutionary war, onto promoting some of the largest shows in West Virginia history as he proudly reps his OG club, Smooth Impressions! Plus, we show him how we do it on the southwest side of the mountains as we include him in our generic mountain dew challenge!
You'ins will appreciate this one - lot of tales from back in the day, talking inspiration and some feedback on the future of the West Virginia minitruckin and tuner scene!
Ep. 53: Defining a Holler with Ron Perkins
Y'all ever wonder, what is a holler exactly? Well, come on up on the virtual front porch, pull up a chair and find out in this episode right alongside the legendary Ron Perkins from Hammerd Weekend Wear (and as we find out, television) fame!
Yes, that's right - Ron happened to make a wrong turn in Hazard and found himself deep in the hills and hollers alongside YOUR #voiceofthelowlife , and joins us in studio - all the way from Oregon! - to discuss such burning questions as sketchy road stories, t-shirt inspiration, rejected dwarf names, favorite shows, feature trucks... and even dabbles in the generic mountain dew challenge!

Who needs to listen to this episode? Nobody! "Enjoy".
Ep. 50 - The State of the Scene Address!
Hey y'all!
Of course we didn't forget y'all! It just takes us more time in the hills and hollers to get ready for old man Winter! Now that the coal stoves are all ablaze and the biscuits are in the oven, why don't y'all come and sit a spell with your favorite hillbillies? Start the 3rd season of LCD with this, the episode you've been waiting for! The milestone 50th episode; join Shay and LMC with special in-studio guests Justin Nascar White Wyatt and Trooper Michael Burton as we give our State of the Uni--- umm, State of the Scene address! Ride along for two and a half hours as we discuss where the scene here in the mountains has been, where it is and where it's going!
Who should listen to this episode? Nobody! "Enjoy". In advance... we're sorry.
Ep. 49 - Get Down with Mike Murray!
Howdy y'all!
In what is likely our last ever podcast, Mike Murray, AKA Miggity Mike the Mayor from OLP fame joins us to talk about his new badass show, East Bound Get Down coming up in Daytona (???) Florida in January.
And oh yeah - DJ Maze makes a surprise appearance (conveniently during the complete cluster of us trying to find a shorted cable!)
Mike tells the "strawberry shortcake story".
LMC finally tells the "Alice" story.
We offend everyone. We are so sorry. We are... so sorry.
DISCLAIMER: I'm sorry y'all. I'm sorry for a LOT of things on this episode - but mostly the sound. The audio on this episode is bad. Like, Mountain Mist from Family Dollar bad. Pretty much start to finish, it's rough - I insist on using analog; so when it's right, it's RIGHT - but when it's wrong... ugh. I screwed up right at the beginning and was unable to recover within the episode, so listen at your own risk. I know exactly what I did wrong - a string of screw ups - if we ever record again, it won't sound like this next time - promise. Usually, on one this bad we would redo the entire episode. BUT - this content is just too... well, we live up to the Voice of the Low Life tagline.
Ep. 48: Cohost Abuse and 2021 Year Recap!
Howdy y'all! Short and sweet, join Shay, LMC, Jeremy AND Farva for the 2021 year Recap! Hear our best - and worst - show experiences of the year, plus enjoy us trying the new Gingerbread Mountain Dew!
Ep. 47 - The Return of the Troopers (Cruising with Cruisers Show Recap!)
Howdy y'all!
Hopefully some of the 8.5 listeners made the trip down to Whitesburg, KY the weekend of October 16th and were a part of the first annual Cruising with Cruisers Car Show - reckon it turned out very good! Over 160 vehicles, mostly minitrucks - and mini styled - complete with a cruise to the top of Pine Mountain and full police support!
In this episode, hear from the guys behind the scenes as we are joined once again by Trooper Burton and Trooper Gayheart in this no-holds-barred episode! Hear what they liked, hear what they DIDN'T like, Matt's love of the Back Street Boys... and a heaping helping of country fried thank-yous! (Plus, plans for next year!)
Also - we bring out an old favorite for the Generic Mountain Dew Challenge!
BTW: Anyone see our interview with Street Trucks? Neat, eh? Thanks to Adam Johnson for that!
Ep. 46: The Robbie and Justin Old Timey Front Porch Sing Along!
Howdy y'all!
What's more relaxing on a cool autumn night than an old fashioned front porch sing along? That's exactly what we do on night 1 of the Cruising with Cruisers show as we are joined by super-show-friend Justin Wyatt and Robbie Williams of Trashbag Mazda fame right here in the holls and hollers of Eastern Kentucky!
Join our old timey singalong as we cover your favorites from yester-year, from the Golden Girls theme song to Ice Ice Baby!
It'll be a foot stomping, chicken plucking, bean breaking good time!
(We also talk about Robbie and Justin's upcoming "Cruising for Christmas" Car Show on November 6th!)
Ep. 45: 1st Annual Cruising with Cruisers Show Preview!
Greetings from hills and hollers of Eastern Kentucky.
In this episode, we had the opportunity to sit down with two of Kentucky's Finest, Trooper Michael Burton and Trooper Matt Gayheart, Public Affairs Office for Post 13 in Hazard, Ky. and pick their brain on many things, ranging from their upcoming minitruck-friendly show Cruising with Cruisers on October 16th in Whitesburg, Ky. to some of their road stories! Plus, hear all about what to expect when minitruckers make their return to Whitesburg!
However, we wouldn't be YOUR #voiceofthelowlife if we didn't their real opinions on minitruckers, Walmart, flea markets - and yes, we even ask them how many 4th graders they could take out if they had to! (Their answers may surprise you!). Plus, they join us in the Generic Mountain Dew Challenge!
Get to know the guys behind the uniform in this episode - truly one of the best we've ever done.
(P.S. This episode content is edited. Heavily. We had to cut out some REALLY good (the NON PG ones!) stories for various reasons - so make sure for those of y'all that hit up the CwC show, that you go ask these troopers about the stories that were cut!)
Ep. 44: THE (mountain) HERITAGE (festival) EPISODE!!!
Howdy y'all! It's been a month of Sundays ain't it?
Thanks for joining us once again for the episode y'all have been waiting for... THE (mountain) HERITAGE (festival) EPISODE!
Okay. Okay. Let us explain.
We had legit planned the H-WORD episode, the massive one, along with SIX live guests spanning the almost 20 year history of the show... and then some things happened, well beyond our control, that made it impossible for everybody to gather in one place safely. Stuff happens, we're sorry, BUT... if we couldn't do this episode on the weekend it NEEDED to be done on, we decided to go a different direction for now and postpone the H-word episode for a special date/time.
Instead, pull up a rocking chair and enjoy this episode which focuses on small town festival culture in Appalachia! We take a deep dive on the history of the Letcher County Mountain Heritage Festival (the H-word show's namesake!) and hear how it came about, and highs and lows of it's 39 year existence. Our guest tonight is Phillip Hampton, a past chairman of the Mountain Heritage Festival Committee as well as the only remaining member from the first ever festival.
We cover needy bands, parade fails, stolen pigs and sweet little old lady moonshine runs. Plus, stick around at the end of the episode where we briefly touch on some new #LCDpodcast T-Shirt artwork and the @KSPCruising "Cruising with Cruisers" show in Whitesburg on October 16th - where dragging is legal once again! Also, LMC dresses up as a chicken.
This is one of MY favorite episodes, and much like the Story Time with Uncle Doug episode, this is a chance for us to sit down with a major name in Letcher County KY lore and pick their brain. Hope y'all enjoy!
Ep. 43: LCD Behind the Story: Matt Middleton!
Howdy y'all!
First and foremost - we are sorry for the call in audio the last two episodes. This one is no better; after this episode, we are switching to zoom or webex exclusively. However, the story here is too good NOT to use, so look over the SQ and enjoy a behind the scenes look at what makes Matt Middleton who he is!
Hear about the man behind Smalltown Throwdown, the upcoming show in St. Cloud, Florida - and also an honorary hillbilly in our eyes! Listen to him weave tales of alligator wrasslin, meth lab explosions, questionable tattoos, horrible hotel stories and much more! Oh yeah, we discuss with Matt what got him into the scene, how his show benefits so many in need, and much more!
Ep 42: Actual Mintruck Stuff! (AKA Steve Tiller's Llama Drag!)
Ep 42: Actual Mintruck Stuff! (AKA Steve Tiller's Llama Drag!) is now online!
Howdy y'all! Join us for our most mintruck episode in a long time! We talk old shows, new shows, road trips, yard sales, motor swaps, suspension, billet wheels... and even interview an actual show promoter, Steve Tiller from Revolution KY! Our second in a two week span also teases you for what's ahead.. plus we bring back the generic mountain dew challenge!

Ep. 41: Super Sparks Friends Unite!
Howdy y'all!
Got a heaping helping of new episode for you, this time chock full of more Farva! That's right, one half of the dynamic duo from the Sparks Show 2021 #justinvsfarva Hug Battle joins us in studio tonight to recap the weekend, where he and Justin "Nascar White" Wyatt hugged their way (in 95% humidity and 96 degrees) to over $1000 for the Appalachian dog charities, PAWS of SWVA of Coeburn, VA and Wags and Whiskers of Paintsville, KY - proving once again that nobody is more generous (and loves animals more) than minitruckers! (I'm so proud of these guys, and I have TONS more photos and videos to post in the coming days!
In this episode, we also discuss a little behind-the-scenes vending info, literally going into our most and least profitable shows - and explain in real word terms why they went the way they did! We also touch on a little coal history, mountain caves, the horrifying tale of Bunny Golf in Pigeon Forge, TN, amazing food in Pigeon Forge, rich Jesus versus poor Jesus, and our final thoughts on the awesome Sparks Show in Sevierville.
Plus, in honor of Revolution coming up next weekend, LMC tries to name all of the restaurants in Middlesboro, KY from memory!

Ep. 39 Aaron Tippin is Creepy!
Hey y'all! Tonight is not what we had in mind, but never fear, we gave you... something! Tonight, we had TWO special guests planned... and we failed miserably on getting that to work out! So instead, listen to Shay and LMC ramble for an hour plus about such topics as two new MAJOR as of yet unannounced 2022 shows - which we are very excited about!, powder coating random things, trying the new Mountain Dew Baja Punch, and lightly discussing the remainder of the show year while getting distracted about 90s country music acts!
