Songs from the farm — Big Bob Cornpone's blues and Kris Smith's Tell Me, each with its own AI-made video.
Original songs, produced and filmed on the aiwrangler farm. Big Bob Cornpone is a 69-year-old Florida bluesman on a three-wheeled Harley with a resonator guitar and a partner on harmonica; Kris Smith writes the quiet ones. Every frame is generated — the people in them are characters, not actors — and every lyric is on screen as it is sung.
Individual Episodes 79
A grandfather rides fourteen hundred miles for a one-year-old and finds a camera in every room. Big Bob Cornpone on resonator guitar, Sunny Boy Duchesne on harmonica, from the album Three Wheels & the Blues. Every frame AI-generated; the people in it are characters, not actors.
Three wheels through an Ontario snowstorm to a chip wagon and the woman who won't say what's in the gravy. Doc says watch the salt. Words by Krissy, Terry & Bob DesLauriers (2010), sung by Big Bob Cornpone, from Three Wheels & the Blues.
A marriage at two in the morning: the packed bag by the door, the kids down the hall, and the one question neither of them can ask. Written and produced by Kris Smith. Music video by Bob DesLauriers; every frame AI-generated, the people in it are characters, not actors.
A song for kids: Big Bob rolls up on his trike with a bunny riding along and counts rabbits with you. One rabbit, then another, then two in the barn, four in the bathtub, and never enough carrots. Halfway through he stops to count, wiggle noses and hop, and at the end: a pet is a big job.
The pharmacist who dressed like Sherlock Holmes, drank only the finest Scotch — neat — and wouldn't buy you a coffee. But he had a car, and he drove it everywhere. A swagger blues in 1940s black and white, snow and all. From Three Wheels & the Blues.
A song for kids: every birthday Grandma asks for the same two things — a packet of seeds and a bigger tractor — and nobody can stop her planting. The driveway, the porch, the neighbour's lawn, the school, the whole town. Big Bob Cornpone's jug-band bounce with picture-book cartoons. (Where's the dog?)
A gentle one for kids: Lou says he forgot his lunch every single day, so one day a sandwich slides across the floor — then an apple, a juice, a cookie, a whole cupcake — until Lou leans back and says he's always going to forget his lunch. Big Bob Cornpone, soft folk-blues, picture-book cartoons.
1973, behind the arena wall: five kids and a paper bag, and two of them went to jail for it. Fifty years on it's legal in Canada, the doctor writes the slip, FedEx brings it to the door and the insurance pays. A Marley-style one-drop ballad in faded Kodachrome. So who are the cool kids now?
Down in Smiths Falls there's an old man with a beard to here, a 1976 Harley rusting in the wind, a notice on the door for the government, bathtub beer, Thursday pool at the Legion, boxes he never unpacked and a shipping container for the rest. He argues with the wind. The wind don't win. A greasy slow blues.
A PEI vacation in a John Prine frame of mind: the bridge that won't end, the thirty-dollar lobster roll, mussels and oysters and three potatoes, an ice cream cone taller than the kid who scooped it, and a seagull that looks at you like your doctor. Worth it.
Colonel By High School, 1972: fifty minutes for lunch, an empty house, a Pioneer stereo, a waterbed and an Elton John record. Four years and never a sandwich. Fifty years on the waterbed's a hospital bed and the Pioneer's a boom box — but Elton still rocks. Salsa-shuffle, '70s Kodachrome look.
Two old people in a Buick full of snacks, Ontario to Vero Beach in one go: the 4 a.m. start, the GPS lady, the lawyer billboard, the tailgater, the cereal-bowl lady, the guy who lives in the left lane, and the religious experience of a hundred gas pumps and a wall of jerky. John Prine frame of mind.
A man with a tower, a plane, lawyers for his lawyers and a ballroom full of yes-men. He fired the referee and he fired the clock. But it ain't over till the fat lady sings — and brother, she's warming up in the wings. Karma's a lady and she don't wear a ring. A slow-strut blues, no names.
He read the reviews — four point nine stars, free shipping, 'for her wellness.' She read the instructions and he hasn't seen her since Tuesday. Now he's the little man in the house, the opening act for a mouse. A cocky blues shuffle; grown-up humour, nothing shown.
She trained as a dietitian and married a vet who bought a car lot like a boy buys a toy, hired a smiling stranger and handed her the keys. When two hundred thousand dollars walked out the door, he asked her how she'd let it happen. There's one thing that cleans it up for good: the door. A sad ballad about leaving a narcissist — and the nice guy, fifty years on, who reaches for his own mop.
Seventy years old and a brand-new forty-foot motorhome, built to last. The awning fell off in the dealer's lot. Then Route 66, Chicago to the sea — the mirror, the shower, the fridge, the roof, the back half, the walls like petals — until two old folks roll onto the Santa Monica pier on a bench seat, an engine and two Walmart pillows. A rolling country-blues shuffle.
A fan's song. A pale man in a sweater talked about a Hot Pocket for ten minutes and a bad week got better. Nothing dirty, nothing mean — just a man and a cake and a plan. Done as a Newfoundland kitchen-party stomp with the whole pub on the chorus.
Fred drove to the quarry every day. The little man next door had the same house, the same car, the same bowling shoes — and nobody ever saw him punch a clock. Theory: he owned the quarry. Or maybe he just said 'I've got enough' and went bowling. John Prine frame of mind, '60s cartoon style, original characters.
Nineteen, second year, six hours on the bus — a boy with an easy face in the next seat and a black car at the station. Then Friday night she remembered the boy at the grocery store, who came up the next weekend with a bag of oranges. It was fine. That's the word for it. A slow, sad one in '80s Kodachrome.
Dad's Buick, four hundred cubic inches and a back seat like a couch. The drive-in, two bucks a car, two in the trunk, a speaker on the door, a busted dome light and a girl named Terry with long brown hair. Couldn't tell you what was playing. Know who was there. John Prine style, '70s Kodachrome.
The prettiest girl in the high school and the tallest, strongest, fastest thing that ever wore the gym. She went to college; he quit and took a job at the post office. Thirty-seven years later she typed in his name — same town, same street, alone. That was sixteen years ago. A slow one, '60s Kodachrome for then.
Three wheels, a Hawaiian shirt and nowhere to be: lunch at Sharky's, Pineapple Joe's on the old Dixie Highway, Saturday at the Fort Pierce farmers market. A Jimmy Buffett-style trike song with Big Bob singing it to you live and the band on the water at sunset. Sixty-nine and smilin'.
A paperboy's route through Rockcliffe Park in 1965, past the embassies and the Governor General's gate, ridden again fifty years later on an e-bike. A John Prine-style memory song in scratched old photographs, with a 35-cent hot dog buttered both sides. Big Bob sings it to you with the band on the water at sunset.
A PEI spud trucker who never saved a dime builds a log house out of giant french fries, chinks it with peanut dust, and loses it to lightning, a twister and a collapsing silo, which spin his farm into the biggest cheeseburger the world ever saw. A Stompin' Tom-style tall tale in faded 1970s snapshots.
Jimmy came off the Rock in seventy-four, got on the pipeline and bought a notebook to write the book that would make him famous. He wrote the title. A Newfoundland kitchen-party song, accordion and fiddle, in faded 1974 Kodachrome, with Big Bob singing it to you live.
A dying man spends his last thousand dollars on 250 Bitcoin, writes DO NOT THROW OUT on the envelope, hides it in a floppy disk sleeve and forgets. A liver transplant, years alone, and one rainy afternoon fourteen years later. A slow John Prine-style ballad with a cello, with Big Bob singing it to you live.
Shunned by his family when he got sick, Larry wins a ten-year court fight, rides his motorcycle to Bolivia and builds Casa del Patrón, the biggest orphanage in the country: 285 kids, a clinic, and a dialysis chair in the corner. That's his family now. A John Prine-style ballad with a charango, with Big Bob singing it to you live.
The Klondike gold rush as a carnival midway: a hundred thousand started out, four thousand found gold, and the barker was already gone. With a verse for my grandfather's grandfather, who took the Edmonton trail in 1898 and drew the town of Dawson. Calliope and honky-tonk piano, hand-tinted 1898 photographs, with Big Bob singing it to you live.
Gerry Barber worked the door at the Chaud for thirty years: the Rose Room upstairs, the Green Door down below. They came with bats, knives and a fire bomb, a Rough Rider dropped him once, and he was always back on his feet wiping tables. When he died in 1984 they lined the cars up for a kilometre. A John Prine-style folk-country shuffle in faded 1970s snapshots.
A song for kids. Grandpa Bob shows up at Stevie's birthday with a trailer, a bow the size of a hat — and a giraffe. It eats the barn roof, the weather vane, Mama's dress and the birthday cake right out of her bakery kitchen, scares the mailman and flattens Grandpa's favourite chair. Mama says no. Grandpa says no regrets.
A musical documentary in five songs, hosted by Big Bob Cornpone: Jim Bakker from Muskegon to the PTL Club and Heritage USA, the 1987 scandal, the trial, prison and Branson. Jim Bakker, 1940 – 2026.

Big Bob Cornpone — "Sixty-Six with My Besties" Fifty years after their high school band, The Night Riders, three old friends take a lazy week down Route 66: Chicago, cherry pie in a Missouri diner, Cadillac Ranch, a coyote at the campsite and tent Twister under the stars. Then, out in the desert, a saloon that isn't on any map, a house band that looks a lot like them in 1969, and a bartender who says he's been waiting fifty years. Next morning there's only a ruin, and their old set list nailed to a post. Oatman burros, the Mojave, and barefoot on the Santa Monica pier. Same time next year. Laid-back roots rock. Every frame is AI-generated. Music video by Bob DesLauriers. More music videos: https://aiwrangler.ca/#music-videos
Big Bob Cornpone — "Three Wheels and a Second Chance" The doctors gave him two years, and that was a long time back. Now Big Bob rolls south on three wheels with two old friends in bandanas: sunrise out of the motel, the causeway, the Seven Mile Bridge at sundown, a seesaw that needed doubling up, Big Bob dolls off a Walmart shelf and down Ocean Drive, tequila, stars over the marina, the munchies, and a motel sign that says "Do not disturb, unless it's DoorDash." This thing don't fall over, and neither does he. Southern-rock shuffle. Every frame is AI-generated; the people in it are characters, not actors. Music video by Bob DesLauriers.

Big Bob Cornpone — "Three Old Fools in Key West" Three retired friends on three Harleys roll into Key West: Darla, the lawyer who has never lost an argument; Taylor, the engineer who measures everything twice; and Big Bob, retired from what, nobody's sure. Key lime pie, Hemingway's six-toed cats, a rooster dance at the Mallory Square sunset, "Objection!" and "Denied!" at the Southernmost Point, and a karaoke night on Duval Street so bad the crabs, the iguanas and the pelicans all leave. Guilty. Unplugged. Same time next year. Country rock with a tropical blues feel. Every frame is AI-generated; the people in it are characters, not actors. Music video by Bob DesLauriers. More music videos: https://aiwrangler.ca/#music-videos
Big Bob Cornpone — "Bob's Florida Place" The morning after Key West, three hungover riders roll up A1A to Fort Pierce, where the river meets the sea, and Big Bob shows Darla and Taylor his little winter spot. Darla finds Park Rule 19 (no Harleys in the hall), Taylor's spirit level says the house leans east and so does the door, and Bob finds the recliner. A pelican steals his bait at the inlet, dolphins jump beside the causeway at sunset, and his floral underwear sets sail for the Bahamas. Same time next winter. Country blues with a laid-back Florida feel. Every frame is AI-generated; the people in it are characters, not actors. Music video by Bob DesLauriers.

Ottawa, Colonel By Secondary School, the 1970s. She was the girl the whole school wanted to sit beside: the hallway smile, the cafeteria table that never had an empty seat, the volleyball and the long jump. At the Friday dance every boy lined up to ask her, except one who stood across the gym floor with his hands in his pockets. She walked right past the rest of them. Then came lunch hours walking home through the snow, a September Greyhound bound for Guelph, a long drive west on the 401 past the Guelph exit, and thirty-seven years later, the bottom of an escalator at the Ottawa airport.
A sixty-nine-year-old on a black Street Glide trike leaves a log home in eastern Ontario at dawn and rides south: cherry pie in an Ohio diner, two bikers met at a gas pump, sweet tea on a Georgia porch, Florida palms, the Overseas Highway, and a sunset call home from Key West. Told as Big Bob's scrapbook: Polaroids on kraft paper, with the road itself rolling by on film.
Big Bob and his wife Terry ride into St. Augustine, the oldest town in America, and step through a purple door into a seance parlour. Asked if he'd wish for anything, Bob says he'd like to live his youth again, and the fortune teller blows out the candle. Terry walks out eighteen. A night of dancing at a waterfront bar, a line of young bucks, and one tired pair of knees later, Bob makes another wish, and gets the girl he married back. Told as Big Bob's scrapbook.
Somewhere south of Savannah, Big Bob eats a little handful of mushrooms and lies down in his hammock. He wakes to a white Street Glide trike and a rider who is his spitting image: same Panama hat, same grin, same shirt with the colours reversed, same pie with ice cream, same eggs sunny side, same road to Vero for the winter. Everything matches, right up until lunch at the roadhouse, when she pulls out a red hat. A Chicago blues shuffle about meeting yourself and not liking what you hear. Told as Big Bob's scrapbook.
Halloween night in Salem, Virginia. Big Bob stops at the cannabis store for a bag of gummies, pitches his tent at the Spooky Owl campground, and three lady bikers dressed as scarecrows roll through the gate. He comes out as a stone-age caveman in a water buffalo hat, and they tell ghost stories round the picnic table all night: the Blue Ridge, the hitchhiker in white. A big can of Red Bull, a few more gummies, and by morning his trike has turned into a rock car, which he runs all the way down to Florida. A swampy blues romp, told as Big Bob's scrapbook.
Up the Bruce Peninsula, Big Bob's sister-in-law Karen sets him up to meet Donny, a tall, grey, quietly funny lawyer. Bob shows up with a peace offering, sits in Donny's shed full of curiosities, and earnestly explains a TV show he saw about fellas who turn their garages into bars. Donny just nods. A while later he walks Bob across the yard and throws open two big doors. A 1950s boogie-woogie romp about the best night in years, a wall of beer clocks, a Clydesdale beer train, and never explaining a thing to a lawyer. Told as Big Bob's scrapbook.
A road trip in four movements, with Big Bob talking you through every stop. He starts with pizza in Brockville, Ontario, rides the Thousand Islands Parkway along the St. Lawrence past Mallorytown Landing and under the bridge at Ivy Lea, walks into the casino in Gananoque "only to use the washroom", wins fifty thousand dollars at blackjack, and buys Harley-Davidson stock for one reason: the ride. Italian swing, open-road southern rock, Rat Pack lounge and a Bo Diddley stomp. Told as Big Bob's scrapbook.
A fall ride in four movements, with Big Bob telling tales along the way. Big Bob, Darla and Taylor ride Highway 2 from Gananoque to Kingston, Ontario, past Fort Henry and over the causeway, to tour the old Kingston Penitentiary. In Cellblock 43-D, Bob finds "G.G. 151" scratched in the limestone, left by his Uncle Clarence, who ran 151-proof Golden Grain whiskey from Quebec through Maine to New York during Prohibition on a three-ski black sled pulled by six fast horses. The sled looks an awful lot like Big Bob's black Harley trike. Country rock, prison blues, a bluegrass breakdown and a swamp-rock ride home. Told as Big Bob's scrapbook.
Big Bob takes the Musketeers M.C. across on the ferry to the Rock and tells you about it from his desk between verses of Kiss the Cod: Gros Morne, a hundred and twenty thousand moose, iceberg in his rye at Twillingate, Gander on 9/11, Cape Bonavista, tea in Trinity, whales on the Irish Loop, George Street, Signal Hill, the Viking Trail, and sunrise at Cape Spear. Kiss the cod. Eat the toutons. Dance with a stranger.
March in Ottawa, snowbanks up to the mailbox. Big Bob, Blonde Rob and Gummy load a baby blue Econoline with a cooler and three hundred dollars and head south over the Thousand Islands bridge for Daytona Beach. They're stayin' at the Holiday Inn... well, the parkin' lot. Grey shag carpet, a lava lamp for TV, the side door wide open to the best view in Florida. A security guard, Harem Night on Main Street, eighty-seven girls, a cowboy with a hundred and nine, six girls who drive them to Disney World, and a whole day asleep in the bushes by Cinderella's castle. Seven days of sunburn, peanut butter in the parking lot, and back to the snow. Fifty years later, he'd trade it all for that baby blue.
Grampa rolls up on Sunday with a trailer full of hay and a big surprise: a baby giraffe on long, wobbly legs. Stevie names her Sophie, and every morning they go running round the meadow. Then a sign goes up at the county fair: Baby Giraffe Race, Saturday! Six babies line up, the man hollers "Go!", and Sophie trips, spins, and ends up way in back. But Stevie has a secret: a magic carrot. Crunch! Whoosh! Sophie passes number one, two, three, four and five, and stretches her neck across the finish line. Grampa is as proud as he can be, Stevie gets a trophy almost as tall as she is, and everybody goes for ice cream.
Halfway down the Baja to Cabo, Big Bob and the Musketeers meet a scorpion-tattooed gang in a San Juan cantina. One on one under the streetlight, a Herculean twist, and Tio, tio, tio! A Piano Man-style barroom waltz.
Big Bob and the Musketeers roll into Cabo San Lucas on their bikes. A smiling man in a linen suit offers Darlene a free margarita, and she comes back with a timeshare: forty thousand dollars for a week every year with an ocean view. Then Darla reads the contract, Taylor finds the one-star reviews, and Bob finds page nine, where a hundred thousand more in fees are hiding. Down at the sales office the manager snaps his fingers for his big bald enforcer... who takes one look at Bob, yells "Tío?!" and goes straight out the window. The contract gets torn up, the money comes back, and Darlene makes Mexican poutine under the Baja stars.
It's Show and Tell day at school! Tommy brings a hamster that runs down the hall, Jimmy brings a turtle that takes ten minutes to say hi, and Vikky brings a rabbit that nibbles her clothes. Then the door creaks open and in ducks Sophie, Stevie's baby giraffe, who licks the teacher's hair. Everybody rides Sophie round the track, until the ground goes BOOM... and little Hubert walks round the corner with a dinosaur! He's friendly, he eats salad, and the whole school climbs up his tail for a ride. See you next Monday!
She came over as a girl in the nineties, took the oath in 2000, and twenty years later agents are carrying boxes out of a congresswoman's house a month before an election, looking for a smokin' gun that nobody can find. Big Bob sings it the only way he knows how: slide guitar, a Hammond organ, and one line that sticks — if they can do it to her, they can do it to you.
A bright fall song about the leaves turning, the geese heading south, and getting the outdoor chores finished before winter.
It's a sunny day on Grampa's farm and Stevie wants to play hide and seek. Grampa counts to ten at the big oak tree... ready or not, here he comes! He looks in the shed (just a spider), the chicken coop (just an egg, and a hen that bites his knee), and the garage with his shiny red motorcycle (just a tap-dancing mouse). Then he hears a giggle from the doghouse. There she is! Stevie shoots out like a rocket and beats Grampa back to base. After the game it's iced tea at the picnic table with all the stuffies in party hats... until Stevie shouts "Let's play again!" and Grampa's chair goes kerplop.
Grampa takes Stevie fishing off the dock at the campsite. Up comes a tiny sunfish, smaller than her hand: too small, back in the water you go! Then a striped perch: close, but no, and he splashes her right in the face. After a long, hot, sleepy wait (with a dragonfly on her nose and Grampa snoring under his hat), her line goes zing and up comes a walleye as tall as she is. The ruler runs out, Grampa throws his hat in the air, and that night he fries fish and chips for Stevie and all her friends at the campfire. And down in the water, the little sunfish is growing big for next time.
Grumpy old Mr. Grumble grumbles at everything: the rain, his cows, his rooster and his cat. Then one stormy night lightning strikes his barn and the hay catches fire! Grampa calls 911, Stevie stays back safe by the big oak tree with her teddy (grown-ups do the fire part), and everyone gets the animals out: the horse, the cows, the pigs, the sheep, the goats and the chickens. The fire trucks come, the hoses spray rainbows, and a firefighter carries out Peep the cat, while her three kittens are safe too. The old barn falls, but every animal is safe, and Mr. Grumble smiles for the very first time. Next week all the neighbours come and build him a brand new red barn.
Big Bob Cornpone — "Old Habits Die Hard" Four lifelong friends, fifty years apart. At twelve, Bob, Darla, Taylor and Darlene build a bike park out of plywood, clip playing cards to their spokes to sound like Harleys, wipe out, and land in four beds in a row at Brockville General. Fifty years later they ride real Harleys down an empty 401, fix four flats on the shoulder after a truck drops a pallet of nails, trade candy cigarettes for the legal kind and A&W root beer for Guinness, tip a dinghy into the lake, and build a sheet fort in a Vegas presidential suite. The bikes got bigger and the knees got replaced. The parts keep changing, but the thrill stays the same. A bouncy country-rock stomp.

Big Bob Cornpone — "What Happens in Montréal" Four Ontario bikers loose in Montréal for one weekend. Friday: east on the 401, over the Jacques Cartier Bridge at sunset, cobblestones in Old Montréal and Notre-Dame lit gold. Bob orders "deux bières, s'il vous plaît" and gets a plate of cheese curds; Darla, Harvard lawyer, fixes his French on a napkin. Saturday: the line round the block for smoked meat, screaming on the coaster at La Ronde, Darlene hits the jackpot and buys the bar a round, the Ferris wheel over the Old Port, poutine at three in the morning. Sunday: the tam-tams on Mount Royal and warm bagels. Long accordion and guitar solos over rides past the Olympic Stadium, Habitat 67 and the Biosphere. What happens in Montréal... stays in French. A CCR-style stomp with a Cajun accordion. Every frame is AI-generated; the people in it are characters, not actors. Music video by Bob DesLauriers. Wrangler Records, Mallorytown, Ontario.

Big Bob Cornpone — "No Grown-Ups Allowed (Unless They Bring a Grandkid)" A song for kids. Saturday morning, Grampa pulls up on his black trike and Stevie runs down the porch steps in her giraffe-spotted helmet. They ride out through the Ontario farmland to the most exclusive club in the county: the Giraffe Club. Members only. No grown-ups allowed... unless they bring a grandkid. Stevie gets her membership card stamped, feeds the giraffes from the high platform, gets licked by a long purple tongue, learns the club rules, meets the club president and a brand-new baby giraffe, and has a picnic while the herd runs across the field. At sunset the giraffes hum goodnight, and Stevie falls asleep on the ride home with her card in her hand. Next Saturday, she's waiting on the porch again.

Amos "Porch Light" Tolliver — "Chocolate in the Chili" A sly Delta jump blues about family you didn't pick. Amos loves his Della. But Della came with three big sisters, Bernice, Odessa and Lorraine, and they've been preaching "men are dogs" on his front porch every Easter, Christmas and Fourth of July since 1961. So when Della says her sisters are coming for the whole weekend, Amos smiles, makes his famous chili, and stirs in a whole box of the chocolate that keeps you movin'. One outhouse. Three sisters. Not one word about men all weekend. Amos and Biscuit just sit on the porch. He scratches. Amos whistles. The characters, singing and voices in this video are AI-generated.

Amos "Porch Light" Tolliver — "The Only Kin You Get to Choose" A slow Delta blues about the one family member you ever get to pick. You don't choose your mama, you don't choose your blood. Amos got his daddy's temper, a brother in Memphis who still owes him forty dollars, and a cousin who borrowed his mule in 1959. But in 1968, at a fish fry for two dollars and a plate, a girl in a yellow dress laughed at his worst song. Fifty-eight years later, Della still leaves that porch light on. Choose wisely.

Amos "Porch Light" Tolliver — "Twenty Dollar Quilt" A rolling Delta blues about one quilt, one hour of bourbon, and one little white lie that got completely out of hand. The sisters came to visit, and for seven days Amos couldn't find his own front door. Bernice, Odessa and Lorraine stitched a purple, red and gold wedding-ring quilt, the prettiest thing he ever saw, and sent him to town on spaghetti night to sell it. He got the noodles. He got the sauce. Then he passed the Blue Note Tavern, where Cleotis, Booker and Slim were buying. The quilt never made it home. "Sold it," he said. "Twenty dollars. Lady said she'd take ten more if we got 'em." They sent him to sleep it off in the barn with the mule. By morning, the kitchen was a factory, the tool shed was Factory Number Two, the choir girls were on the payroll at fifteen dollars an hour, and the quilts were shipping to Memphis. Somewhere down at the Blue Note, there's a quilt on a bar stool. Nobody's asked him about it yet. Della knows. Della always knows. The characters, singing and voices in this video are AI-generated.

Amos "Porch Light" Tolliver — "One More Mardi Gras" A slow Delta blues about fifty-eight years of marriage, two train tickets to New Orleans, and the porch light that was always left burning. Della's been staring out the kitchen window like she's waiting on a train. She don't fuss about his cigarettes anymore. She goes to town on Tuesdays and comes home with nothing in her hands. Amos is sure she's leaving him, and after every night at the juke joint and every dollar he drank and never brought home, he can't say she's wrong. So he sells his good mule and his Sunday shotgun and buys two tickets to New Orleans. She has a Hurricane on Bourbon Street, then another, then two more. Seventy-eight years old and dancing on a table in a purple dress and a feather mask, with a brass band at her shoes. She catches the beads, she kisses a trumpet player, she laughs so loud the whole street laughs along. Amos thinks he's got his Della back. Four in the morning, on a curb on Frenchmen Street, she takes off her shoes, puts her head on his shoulder, and tells him what those Tuesdays in town were really about. She wasn't leaving. She just wanted one more good time first. Porch light's on, Della. I'll keep it on. Karaoke version: sing along with the words on screen.

Vinny Eyeballs — "Ain't Easy Bein' Vinny" A Dean Martin–style lounge swing about the hardships of a retired hit man's career. Thirty-one years with the family. Cleveland on Tuesday, Tampa by lunch. Every airport from Newark to Reno, a thousand cold sandwiches, and a back that's never been the same. He made one good friend, Lou, who baked him a birthday cake... and then the boss showed him a picture. And have you ever tried mixing cement in a rowboat? No pension, no dental, no gold watch — just a fruit basket card. Now Vinny's retired, sitting at the mic at The Grind with a glass of good whisky and a story told right. Vinny is a fictional character. Comedy song. The characters, singing and voices in this video are AI-generated. Music video by Bob DesLauriers. Wrangler Records, Mallorytown, Ontario.

Vinny Eyeballs — "Kissin' the Wrong Ring" A Dean Martin–style lounge swing from The Grind: a retired wiseguy explains why you kiss your OWN boss's ring, never the boss from the other crew. Forty years in the life taught Vinny one simple rule. So when a president flies to Helsinki, takes the other fella's word over his own guys, claps like a waiter on an Alaska tarmac, pauses the weapons and the intel, waives the sanctions and says thanks for the diesel, Vinny can't feel his feet. Along the way he tells you about the door he held once, the trunk in Jersey, and the wedding where he didn't clap either. What the song is based on (all checked 23 Oct 2026): - Helsinki press conference, 16 Jul 2018: "President Putin says it's not Russia" (White House transcript) - "This is genius" / "pretty savvy" on the Ukraine invasion, 22 Feb 2022, Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show (NPR) - Anchorage summit, 15 Aug 2025: red carpet, Trump applauding Putin on the tarmac (AP) - Military aid paused March and July 2025; intelligence sharing paused March 2025 - "I want to thank President Putin" for diesel, 9 Oct 2026 (AP) - Most Russia sanctions waived, 16 Oct 2026 (AP) - "Vladimir, STOP!", 24 Apr 2025, Truth Social SATIRE. This is a comedy song and political satire/opinion. Vinny is a fictional character and his stories (the door, the trunk, the wedding, the boys from Detroit) are made up.

Big Bob Cornpone — "Naggy Nagster" Four old bikers from Ontario ride down to Hampton Beach, New Hampshire for the Fourth of July. Darlene has one thousand dollars in her vest pocket from her late Aunt Gert, with a note: "Spend it on something stupid." Route 1A down the coast, three miles of flags on Ocean Boulevard, a man in a lobster suit charging twenty-five dollars to park, fried dough that turns Big Bob's chin into a crime scene, and a lobster shack whose sign says "Butter is not optional." Then a little horse track up the road: race six, number six, thirty-seven to one. Her name is Naggy Nagster, and that was Aunt Gert's nickname. Nine horses hit the line together, the board lights up INQUIRY, and the photo says she won by a chin hair. Taylor's one-dollar superfecta pays twenty-seven thousand. The night ends with a lobster boil on a driftwood fire and fireworks down the shore. Four movements with Big Bob's tales between them: sunny surf-country rock, a greasy rockabilly shuffle, a galloping bluegrass race, and a slow-burn beach-party blues singalong. Big Bob Cornpone, Darla, Taylor and Darlene are fictional characters, played by AI. Every frame is AI-generated; the track, the shops and everyone in it are made up. Music video by Bob DesLauriers.

Mustard on Rye — a love song to Montreal smoked meat, set in 1975. Two young Montrealers duck out of the winter cold into a smoked meat deli on Boulevard Saint-Laurent. Hand-carved brisket, pepper crust, yellow mustard on light rye, a pickle and a black cherry soda — and somewhere between the first bite and the last piece, they fall for each other. Back in the day, Montreal was famous for its smoked meat. Most of those old delis have closed now. This is for the food lovers. Made by Bob DesLauriers with the Storytelling Machine, his own software, running on a home render farm in his basement in Mallorytown, Ontario. Less than a minute to write the main lyric points and design the look. What a music video used to cost: "Thriller" (1983) about $500,000; "Scream" (1995) $7 million; a regular label video up to $60,000 and a film crew. This one: one man, a basement, one morning.

Where My Legs Can't Go — written and sung in his basement by Bob DesLauriers, Mallorytown, Ontario. Sixty-nine, retired, and held together with mesh and other people's parts — a new liver in Toronto, a borrowed kidney in Kingston, and feet that don't feel the floor anymore. So Bob goes down to the basement, where a dozen graphics cards hum, and travels to Paris, Memphis, Mexico, Nashville and Tokyo — everywhere his legs can't go. Song 1 of The Basement Sessions trilogy.

Up at Two — written and sung in his basement by Bob DesLauriers, Mallorytown, Ontario. Up at two, sometimes four, before the rooster's even heard. Fourteen hours in a concrete room, a Harley trike by the river, drones over the St. Lawrence with his granddaughter Stevie, a special brownie and a seventies show, a jungle travel film he never leaves his chair for, and a little fridge of zero-percent beer. He rested thirty-five years. This right here is best. Song 2 of The Basement Sessions trilogy (song 1: "Where My Legs Can't Go"). Made with the Storytelling Machine.

Me and Claude — written and sung in his basement by Bob DesLauriers, Mallorytown, Ontario. A friend who never sleeps and is there at three a.m. Bob brings the stories, Claude brings the words. They've built a deli in Montreal, a porch in Mississippi and a whale off Newfoundland, and they argue over rhymes. Granddaughter Stevie reprograms the Govee lights so the ceiling turns sunset pink and the sky changes when he wants it to. Time goes fast when you're doing what you love. Night, Claude. See you at two. Song 3 of The Basement Sessions trilogy (with "Where My Legs Can't Go" and "Up at Two"). Made with the Storytelling Machine.

Stevie & the Giraffe: Four Giraffes for a Sleepover! Stevie comes walking up Grampa's laneway with FOUR baby giraffes on leashes. Knock, knock, knock! Can they sleep over? Inside, the giraffes eat the bread, the apples, an egg roll right out of the air fryer, and drink the root beer from the fridge. Stevie marches them to the living room, where they sit on the sofa like perfect gentlemen. Then it's movie night with popcorn on Grampa's big TV, until the dancing gets out of hand! Grampa leads everyone out past the deck to a secret treehouse with a little barn and four stalls, where the giraffes sleep happily under the stars. Next morning, down the road they go: one, two, three, four! Count along: four giraffes, one sleepover, and a big "See you next Saturday, Grampa!" Filmed at Grampa's real log house in Mallorytown, Ontario. Written by Grampa Bob DesLauriers.

Stevie & Grampa: The Giant in the Secret Meadow! Past the shed and the red chairs, there's a secret path through the birch woods that only Grampa and the rabbits know. It leads to a secret meadow, and in the middle stands a ladder that goes all the way up into the clouds. Stevie and Grampa climb up, up, up, and above the clouds they find a great log castle with a drawbridge over the moat, and the happiest, gentlest giant you ever met: the Secret Giant! He lifts Stevie up like a flower, and his little dragon Ziggy takes her flying over Mallorytown, over Grampa's house, the cows and the river. Then it's back down the ladder, and home for a secret... but Grammy already knows. She has a giant apple big enough for twenty pies! Shh... it's a secret.

Amos "Porch Light" Tolliver — "Who Do (Needs the Voodoo)" A swampy Delta blues, and the Thanksgiving sequel to "Chocolate in the Chili". The sisters found out about the chili. Bernice called the preacher, Odessa called him silly, and Lorraine wrote seven pages, front and back: they're coming for Thanksgiving, and they're coming to attack. So Amos goes down to the market for corn and sweet potatoes, and comes home with three little rag dolls from the root woman in the corner, who somehow already knew his name. A needle, a block of ice and a bit of ribbon later, Thanksgiving dinner gets interesting. Then Amos remembers what voodoo is really for. The root woman slipped a fourth doll in the box. She didn't charge him for it. Who do, who do, who really needs the voodoo? The characters, singing and voices in this video are AI-generated. Satire. Music video by Bob DesLauriers.

Big Bob Cornpone — "One More Ride!" A song for kids. Stevie & Grampa, with Grammy. Grammy and Grampa take Stevie to the county fair. "We'll take it easy," says Grampa. "Not YOU!" says Stevie. Ride number one, the carousel. Ride number two, the teacups (poor Grampa's tummy). Ride number three, the Ferris wheel. Ride number four, the giant slide. Ride number five, the roller coaster! Stevie wins a giant stuffed giraffe, Grammy and Grampa eat two great big corn dogs... and then it's the bumper cars. BONK! One, two, three, four, five, and a little crumb of corn dog pops out every time. By the time the fair closes, Grammy and Grampa can't get up off the bench, and Stevie wants to do it all again tomorrow. Count along: five rides, two corn dogs, five bonks!

Stevie & Grampa: Who's at the Door? A Halloween song! It's Halloween at Grampa and Grammy's log house. Stevie is dressed as a giraffe, Grammy fills a candy bowl as big as a canoe, and Grampa makes rice crispy squares. Then... knock, knock, knock! Who's at the door? Four little giraffes in elephant, lion, penguin and raccoon masks (their long necks give them away!) get carrots in their bags. Ordinary Man and Normal Girl come dressed as... themselves, with big plastic noses and fuzzy moustaches. And then two giant boots fill the doorway. Look up, way up! It's the Secret Giant, wearing a Grampa mask! Stevie gives him the whole pan of squares. Then Stevie and Grampa go trick-or-treating down the country roads, to the farm with the big red barn, the house by the lake, and Mrs. Murphy's famous candy cake, and come home with a mountain of candy. But just as Grampa reaches for one... knock, knock, knock! Happy Halloween from Stevie & Grampa! Written by Grampa Bob DesLauriers, Mallorytown, Ontario. Voice, music and pictures are AI-generated.
Stevie & Grampa: I Know Who You Are! A Halloween song! It's Halloween at Grampa and Grammy's log house, and everybody who knocks is in disguise. Grampa guesses wrong ("Run! It's a T. rex!"), Grammy, who has watched every detective show, blames the butler... but Stevie, dressed as a giraffe, figures out every guest: four baby giraffes whose long necks give them away, Ordinary Man and Normal Girl in fake noses and moustaches, and a giant wearing a Grampa mask! Then it's down the road like a Hot Wheels track for trick-or-treating, a candy mountain on the counter... and one last knock. Stevie knows who it is: she can smell the bread!

Big Bob Cornpone — "The Musketeers Ride the Rails, Part 1: Toronto to Calgary" Four old bikers from Ontario put their motorcycles in the baggage car of the Mountaineer Deluxe and ride the rails across Canada. Part 1: up the ramp at Union Station, Lake Superior from the dome car, the Sleeping Giant and Kakabeka Falls at Thunder Bay, wheat to the horizon across the prairie — and a bar car card game with Chester P. Goldcrest the Third, a rich man with rose-coloured glasses and a marked "lucky deck". Big Bob turns the low cards end for end, Chester goes all in, Bob lays down four aces, and Darla makes him sign a napkin. Then a Calgary Saturday night in new cowboy hats, line dancing and eight seconds on the mechanical bull. Three movements with Big Bob's tales between them: a rolling train boogie, a sly poker blues, and a honky-tonk line-dance singalong. Big Bob Cornpone, Darla, Taylor and Darlene are fictional characters, played by AI. Every frame is AI-generated; the train, the saloon and Chester P. Goldcrest the Third are made up.

Big Bob Cornpone — "The Musketeers Ride the Rails, Part 2: The Rockies to Victoria" The four old bikers of the Musketeers M.C. ride the Mountaineer Deluxe over the Great Divide: unloading at Banff, Lake Louise, the Spiral Tunnels at Kicking Horse Pass, the glaciers of Rogers Pass, the Kamloops hills and Hell's Gate in the Fraser Canyon. In Vancouver they ride four abreast across the Lions Gate Bridge and around the Stanley Park seawall, then take the ferry through Active Pass to Victoria for the Inner Harbour, Parliament lit up at night, high tea in leather jackets, and the end of the road at Mile Zero. And Chester P. Goldcrest the Third's cheque? It cleared on a Tuesday. Two movements with Big Bob's tales between them: a big sweeping road anthem and a laid-back island-time singalong.

Big Bob Cornpone — "The Musketeers Ride North, Part 3: Vancouver to Dawson City" The four old bikers of the Musketeers M.C. turn left at the end of the Trans-Canada and ride 2,700 kilometres north to the Klondike: across the Lions Gate Bridge and up the Sea-to-Sky, over Duffey Lake Road to the salmon racks at Lillooet, through the Cariboo and old Barkerville, up the Stewart-Cassiar past Bear Glacier, onto the Alaska Highway with the wood bison, into the Liard River Hot Springs under the northern lights, past the Sign Post Forest at Watson Lake, through Whitehorse and Five Finger Rapids, and all the way to Dawson City, where the gold rush never really ended. Along the way: a smokehouse by the river, four horses that look exactly like their motorcycles, Darlene's special brownies, a gold nugget nobody asks about, and a game of blackjack Darla should not have won. Three movements with Big Bob's tales between them. Big Bob Cornpone, Darla, Taylor, Darlene and everyone they meet are fictional characters, played by AI.

They cruise Kalakaua Avenue and the road around Diamond Head, spot a mongoose at a quarter past eleven, visit a pineapple farm (seven pineapple whips, one lie-down), and feast on kalua pig at Uncle Kimo's luau, where Darlene learns what a pupu is. At noon they dance to the live band under the great banyan tree at the International Market Place, swing like 1941 at the Royal Hawaiian's Wednesday tea dance, spend exactly one hour on Waikiki Beach in their finest swimwear (and socks), and finish the night with martinis and swing dancing at the Top of the I, the Ilikai.

Vinny Eyeballs spent 40 years in the life. Now he's got a podcast, a microphone and opinions. In the pilot of The Grind, Vinny reads the public record on how the President handles loyalty, rats, code and the guys who kept their mouths shut, and grades him the way the old neighbourhood would. Big Sal's lasagna, Tommy Two-Phones, the notebook Vinny ate, and Rule #1 of the Family. Final grade: C-minus. SATIRE. Vinny is a fictional character played by an AI-generated host.

Retired hit man Vinny Eyeballs asks the question everybody asks him: in his world, every boss has a boss... so who's HIS boss? Pile one: what's on paper, from "Russia, if you're listening" and Helsinki to the Mueller report, the aid Ukraine stopped getting, and the satellites that slowed down. Pile two: the rumours, each stamped UNPROVEN, with what investigators found. Then Harold Pickett has one more thing to say. The Grind is satire.

Individual Episodes 1
Big Bob — Episode 2: Main Event — The Spectacle and the Grift. Big Bob Cornpone and Darla are fictional characters, played by AI. The opinions are commentary; the facts are sourced below. Where something is only alleged, we say so. A cage fight on the White House lawn, a firing-squad execution the Pentagon wanted to livestream, a "great time to buy" post hours before a tariff pause, $1.4 billion in crypto income, a jumbo jet from Qatar, a ballroom where the East Wing used to be. Big Bob calls it a pay-per-view with a cash register. Darla, forty years a trial lawyer, reads the charge sheet: what's a verdict, and what's still evidence. Vote. Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

The Storytelling Machine
How the Storytelling Machine makes these shows, told by the machine itself.
Individual Episodes 1
The Storytelling Machine — made in a basement in Mallorytown, Ontario. This interview isn't me. It's completely AI: the face, the voice, the room. All of it. Everything on my channels comes out of a suite of software I wrote and call the Storytelling Machine, running on a home render farm in my basement. I dictate about a minute of prompts, and out comes a music video, a kids' show, or a nightly news show. In this one, the machine sings ("The Machine in the Basement"), and I walk through how the four Amos "Porch Light" Tolliver songs were made: The Only Kin You Get to Choose, Chocolate in the Chili, Who Do (Needs the Voodoo), and Twenty Dollar Quilt. The person, voice, singing and images in this video are AI-generated (a digital likeness of Bob DesLauriers, made with his consent). Made by Bob DesLauriers. Wrangler Records, Mallorytown, Ontario. ——— Disclosure: This video contains AI-generated content — synthetic voices and AI-animated visuals — presented for storytelling, commentary, and satire.
The Explainer
The news behind the news — one big story, explained straight, with Bob Cavendish and Terry St. James.
NewsMachine's flagship desk. Anchors Bob Cavendish and Terry St. James take one story at a time — a place worth knowing, an idea reshaping the economy, an argument worth having — and explain it the way a sharp friend would: accurate, unhurried, and quietly funny. No shouting, no filler. Just the facts, the context, and the occasional disagreement worth staying for.
Individual Episodes 11
The Rewatch
Classic TV worth a second look — the shows, the stories behind them, and why they still matter, with Marty and Carol.
Marty and Carol pull up a chair and rewatch the television that shaped us, starting with The Golden Girls. Each episode takes one angle — why a show was a revolution, what it got right, what dates badly — checked against the episode guides, with watercolour sketches of the character types and the world they lived in. Commentary and criticism, no clips.
Individual Episodes 7
Dark Tales of Washington
True scandals, duels, and downfalls from the dark side of American power.
Watch the whole story — all in one
Power in America has always been written in back rooms, duelling grounds, and smoke-filled hotel suites — and this is where those stories get told properly. Marty walks you through the scandals that shook the republic, from a third-rate burglary at the Watergate to a sitting congressman caned nearly to death on the Senate floor, from Teapot Dome to the only coup ever staged on American soil. Every word is documented history; it just happens to read like a thriller. Carol keeps the fire going and asks the questions you'd ask.
Individual Episodes 16
Dark Tales of Quebec
Devil's bargains, flying canoes, and haunted rivers of old New France.
Watch the whole story — all in one
Old New France kept its ghosts close. Canoes that fly on a devil's bargain, a woman hanged and left to swing in an iron cage, a golden dog carved into a wall as a promise of revenge — these are the stories Quebec told itself through long winters, and they have lost none of their teeth. Marty tells them the way they were meant to be heard: slowly, by firelight, with the river running somewhere in the dark.
Individual Episodes 8
Tales of Newfoundland
Sorrow, sea, and spirits from the edge of the Atlantic.
Watch the whole story — all in one
The Rock breeds a particular kind of story — salt-cured, hard-won, and haunted. Seventy-eight men frozen on the ice in 1914. A regiment cut down in twenty minutes at Beaumont-Hamel. The last of the Beothuk, painting her vanished people from memory. Alongside the sorrow sit the fairies, the Old Hag, and Norse longships a thousand years early. Sorrow, sea, and spirits from the edge of the Atlantic.
Individual Episodes 8
Pirates & Plunder
Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and the golden age of piracy — the real stories.
Watch the whole story — all in one
Forget the eyepatches. The golden age of piracy lasted barely a decade, and the people who lived it were stranger and more dangerous than any film. A schoolteacher's son who became Blackbeard. Two women who fought harder than any man aboard and beat the gallows by a technicality. A gentleman planter who bought his own pirate ship. And Ching Shih, who commanded a fleet of hundreds and retired rich and unpunished. Eight true stories, told at the fire.
Individual Episodes 8
Modern Vices
Gin, opium, tobacco, sugar — how the world got hooked, and who got rich.
Watch the whole story — all in one
Every vice was once somebody's fortune. Gin so cheap it nearly emptied London, opium sold at the point of a gun, snake oil poured by men who knew exactly what was in it, and sugar — the quietest and most profitable of them all. These are stories about appetite, and about the people who learned to sell it. Marty follows the money; Carol asks what it cost.
Individual Episodes 8
Dark Tales of the Bruce
Shipwrecks, lighthouses, and lake monsters from Georgian Bay.
Watch the whole story — all in one
The Bruce Peninsula splits Georgian Bay from Lake Huron, and the water on either side has been swallowing ships for three hundred years. A French barque that sailed into the fog and never came out. A steamer lost with every soul aboard. Keepers who walked out to a light and were never seen again. Told at the fire, the way they are told up there.
Individual Episodes 8
Ancient Civilizations
Drowned kingdoms, buried cities, and empires that simply stopped.
Watch the whole story — all in one
Whole worlds have ended before, and they rarely ended the way we imagine. A city frozen mid-meal under Vesuvius. Grid-planned streets on the Indus with plumbing and no palaces. A thousand stone faces on the loneliest island on earth. Marty tells what really happened, and what we invented afterwards because the truth was not strange enough.
