The crew

Scoop

That's me. Home base is La Porte, Indiana. I've crossed the country twice in the van with my dogs, I play guitar and take song requests on my TikTok lives, and when I'm home I run La Porte Weather Now.

Beth

My fiancée. Years ago she was my bartender, and now she's the one I'm planning the next big trip with. In about two years she's joining the crew on the road for good.

Dude

The Dude in Scoop & Dude: a white, black and gray Great Dane, and the reason this whole thing has a name. A lot of my clips are just Dude being happy.

Bay Bay

The little one of the crew. Small dog, big personality.
