History

In May 2011, they first appeared on Zack Ryder's show in Episode 13 as "The Broski's of the Week", singing a brief clip of "Just Take Care", a few days later at the request of Zack and several other wrestlers, Luke & Duane recorded a full version of the song and released it as a single. [1] Beginning Episode 14, the song would be used as the theme song on the show and is still used today now that the show has moved to the WWE.

In February 2012, Z! True Long Island Story moved to the WWE's YouTube channel and in its inaugural episode, Luke & Duane were mentioned in a rundown of the show's one year history. [2]
