The other side of the story. A while back, Parker McCollum was a guest on comedian Theo Von’s podcast This Past Weekend podcast, where he told an absolutely insane story about a wild night he had with his friend, fellow Texan Koe Wetzel, at a shady strip club outside of Waco. They were on tour for their first Naughty or Nice Christmas run circa 2017, and the night ended with them kicking down drywall at the place they were staying in, after Koe punched out a mirror in the strip club and crawled through the street, obviously very intoxicated. You can read the whole thing HERE, and I'd highly recommend it because it's really a crazy tale. And today, Koe was a guest on Theo's podcast, where he told his side of the story when they started talking about Waco: "Waco is where, so when Parker was on, he told you that story about that strip club or whatever we went to, that's right outside of Waco." Theo asked: "Is it a good spot?" Koe told him it was the "the sh*ttiest strip club in the world," adding that apparently, it needed to be "redecorated," so he decided to help with the demolition: "No, its' the sh*ttiest strip club in the world... but it needed to be redecorated, I guess, so I just gave it to 'em. It was just mirrors everywhere, and I was like, man, f*** one of these mirrors, bro. Dude, I found the pictures that he  was talking about, like, us kicking holes in the drywall and sh*t. So somebody had found them and sent 'em to me , and I was like, 'Oh, f*** man.' It just us kinda like passed out next to 'em, drywall everywhere. We had some good times." Okay, he can't tell that story and talk about the photos and then not show them to us... The story ended when Parker remembered being woken up the next morning, to Koe helping him get his boots off at 5:30, still not having gone to sleep himself, saying: “And I wake up at like 5:30 in the morning, Koe is still awake, yanking my boots off. And he’s just going ‘I’ll never let you sleep in your boots, P. I’ll never let..’ and just yanking my clothes off of me. That was like one of the first times him and I had been on the road together, and I was like, this guy means business.” All’s well that ends well, I guess, right? They've obviously slowed it down a lot since then, and Koe also told Theo that he quit drinking whiskey this year because he started having to cancel shows and couldn't perform they way he should... I guess everyone grows up eventually, even if in their own little way... It's a great podcast and conversation with Koe, and you can watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/QnOrhJ4kgMg?t=2983 Koe also told more of that crazy story the last time he was on our podcast, Whiskey Riff Raff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18YMW61ifq8 Koe just released a new holiday project called Wetzel’s Wonderland Chapter 2, which includes three covers of Christmas staples including “Run Run Rudolph,” “Merry Christmas Baby,” and “Silver Bells.” He has two more shows on the calendar for 2024, both in Texas to celebrate the Christmas EP and holiday season.
