Hello Holler,

This is an odd week. I’m just about to head out to Iowa to meet old friends and see some great music. I’m stopping by your inbox with a quick video I made about un-earned wealth and the low-wage labor that makes it possible. All the outrage about labor shortages and unemployment this week conjured this rant from within. Here’s the TikTok version, unlisted on YouTube for your viewing pleasure in this very email:

Most of this week was spent editing the video coming soon about a budding stand-up scene in the Ohio Valley. Stay tuned for that.

The rest was shooting the professional wrestling scene here and I have to say, my expectations were thoroughly exceeded. That one should be coming toward the end of August.

Filming awesome stuff happening in places where people least expect it has been great. If you have a nomination on some awesome stuff happening in the Ohio Valley / Appalachia region that really should be put to film, please get in touch or comment below. I want to shoot for two of these stories per month.

Now, enjoy these great wrestlers.
