About this listen
At eighteen, Jack’s life was simple: weed, his loyal band of idiots, and shifts at the KFC fryer that left him smelling like old oil and broken dreams. He was the ghost of Port Orchard—the stoner kid who spent his nights at boat ramps because he had nowhere else to be. He never had the girl, he never had the money, and he sure as hell didn't have a plan.
Then came the Summer of Love. It started with a camping trip and a miracle: he met the dream girl. The type of girl he was too "gray" to ever speak to in the high school hallways is suddenly sitting across the campfire, and for some reason, she’s smiling. As they fall into a hazy, perfect summer love, the planets align even closer. The Universe doesn't just give Jack the girl; it hands him a $3 Billion lottery scratcher.
What does a greasy 18-year-old stoner do with three billion dollars? He has the absolute time of his life. But Jack doesn't forget where he came from. From driveway disasters and Uber Eats runs where his friends were literally pooping in the bushes, to becoming the twenty-nine-year-old Savior of the Sound—this is the legend of how a loser stayed a loser at heart, but used the "Glitch" to build a kingdom for the people he loves.
It’s high-stakes, it’s low-brow, and it’s 100% Extra-Crispy.
