I’ve always believed music is best when it feels personal — when it’s not just a show, but an experience. That’s why I’m so excited to announce something brand new we’re bringing to Nevada, Missouri: the Secret Songs Series . This is a joint effort from my brands — Red Cherry Alley, Local Ear Magazine, and With Doug TV — and it’s unlike anything we’ve hosted before. What makes the Secret Songs Series different? First off, the venue is a mystery . The only thing you’ll know ahead of time is the date and time . To find out where to go, you’ll have to solve a riddle. That’s right — the location won’t be revealed until you crack the code. Second, the performers are a surprise. Each event will feature between one and three artists , but you won’t know who they are until you walk through the door. And here’s the best part: they’ll be sharing exclusive new songs that you won’t hear anywhere else. The format The whole evening will last about two hours .

This week on Lunch With Doug , we welcomed a guest whose internet legacy is as quirky as it is unforgettable: Tom Shaw , the man behind “Moose” in the viral duo Toasters ‘N’ Moose . If you’ve ever found yourself humming “Taste the Biscuit” while scrolling late-night memes, you’ve already felt the ripple of Tom’s unexpected fame. In Season 9, Episode 68 , Doug sits down with Tom to unpack the story behind the cult hit Chickens in the Shadows , the mockumentary that launched “Taste the Biscuit” into the stratosphere. While Tom didn’t write the song—that credit goes to Vincent Gargiulo—his performance as Moose helped cement the track’s place in internet history. His deadpan delivery, soulful keyboard work, and undeniable charm turned a fictional duo into a real-life phenomenon. 🎹 What’s in the episode? Behind-the-scenes stories from the filming of Chickens in the Shadows Reflections on viral fame and how it changed Tom’s creative journey A look at Tom’s broader musical career and theatri...

  🎙️ How Lunch With Doug Accidentally Became a Community Staple It started as a simple idea during my lunch break—go live, share a few thoughts, maybe highlight something cool happening around town. To make sure my boss knew it was happening on my time, I gave it a name: Lunch With Doug . I figured it’d be a short-lived experiment. But then something unexpected happened—he liked it. He encouraged it. And the audience? They kept showing up. What began as a casual livestream quickly grew into a daily dose of community connection. I started sharing upcoming events, spotlighting local businesses, and giving folks a reason to tune in during the lunch hour. It wasn’t planned, but it worked. And when something works, you lean in. 📺 The Evolution of Lunch With Doug Lunch With Doug began as a simple livestream from my phone—just me, going live on Facebook during lunch to share local events and chat with the community. But it didn’t stay simple for long. It quickly grew into a full-blown...
