Craig Behrhorst joins me on this update from the Handsome Dick Manitoba Tour I'm lazy so I let AI do the show notes: An introduction from Oakland sets the stage for a lively discussion about the latest tour. The host shares that this is the earliest podcast recording to date, reflecting on the busy schedule of six or seven shows. A recap of the first show at the Stork Club in Oakland reveals a mix of excitement and nerves, especially with multiple events happening that night. The audience's positive reception eases the tension, although the host admits to a brief meltdown at the start. The first night of the tour is deemed a success.

This is the story of my rock and roll butler. Welcome to the Rock and Roll Geek Show. 00:00:22 My name is Michael Butler. Thanks a lot for joining me. I really appreciate it. 00:00:25 Today is Sunday, October 4th, 2026 and it is the earliest time I've ever done a podcast. I think it's 11.35 in the morning. 00:00:38 Too early to drink beer so I'm drinking a fine water. I'm here with Craig, guitar player from Manitoba and the Butler's House.

It was the first show of our big Manitoba tour. 00:00:59 We're doing like six or seven shows, something like that. Mmm. Oh, that's good water. 00:01:07 First one was last night in Oakland, California at a place called the Stork Club. We got there. We went to load in yesterday. It's in a really good part of Oakland and there was this guy walking down the street 00:01:24 yelling at the air, cursing, wanting to fight anybody that got in his way. We had the guitars in the back. I had Undisclosed Raquel in the car. 00:01:36 This guy was running back and forth,
