Back Pocket - A Podcast by Jake and Dylan

Today is not a day for mourning, for long faces, for tears. No. Today is a day to celebrate a life that ended, a light that no longer shines for all to see with their eyes, but rather one that lives on in your memories. This is the end of Back Pocket, and the beginning of something more. No longer is it bound to our physical plane by its corporeal form. Now it may spend its days in the great beyon...

Well folks, this is almost it, the second to last episode we will be releasing on Back Pocket, and boy do we not hold back! We talk moving, driving, committing to the bit, trivia, and even Michael Cera. Tune in next week for the grand finale, who knows what's gonna happen!

Titles says it all really, suit up. Jake gives a tell all about this year's OSL (Outside Lands for those of you like Dylan who had some trouble with that acronym), and we get to hear about Dylan's nearly fatal cactus injury.

After a week off, we're back and better than ever. We get to hear about the rest of Jake's trip, and Dylan's fun but disappointing golf outing. If you can, reach out and tell him things will get better, it was just an off day :,)

Howdy y'all. This week we check in with how the Euro-trip is going so far, all the way from Amsterdam. Tommy and Jake explore all the city has to offer, Dylan goes on hot boy walks with his sultry stache, you really don't want to miss this one.

Don't you hate it when people trying to help you actually end up messing up your life? Messing it up so hard that you're probably just gonna cancel the rest of the month long trip that you're on? Absolutely ruining your life in ways that not only can't be fixed, but are hard to even fathom how someone could do such a revolting, gut-wrenching, awful act. One that will surely go down...

We're back with a little update from the Summer 2023 Euro Trip, and boy are there things to update. Everything from terrible roommates to near death experiences, Jake and Darren saw it all. Meanwhile, Dylan reflects on finally discovering how to use tap-to-pay and the fact that life really do be happening all around us. Tune in for a scorcher this week!

Imagine celebrating the 4th of July in the United States. Could NOT be Jake. He will be somewhere in Europe eating 4-5 sausages and enjoying a nice chocolate cigarette for dessert. His life is truly a movie. Meanwhile, this episode has it all. The pain of packing and going through a breakup. The joy of going away parties and having incredible friends. New licenses and registrations, house inspired...

Friends of the show Harry and Darren make their long awaited return so we can discuss the making of their single they recently put out. The level of musical genius these two clearly have is off the charts. More like we interviewed Mozart and Beethoven ya know?

This week we have huge news. I don't want to spoil it but I think you'll be able to piece it together. Fine we'll tell you. Dylan is no longer a lone wolf, he has found his...girl wolf? Yeah let's go with that. Bottom line is the show is no longer WAG-less. Also Jake wore some pretty killer shades, not that you can see them but it's definitely worth noting. Enjoy!

After some technical difficulties we made this episode work! Alec comes on to talk about the psychedelic rock masterpiece that is Currents. One of our longer episodes but that's just because we had so much amazing music to discuss. Enjoy!

Alex makes his coveted return to the show to defend himself against to filleting he took several episodes back from Darren, Harry, and Charlie. What caused the closed mouth smile to become his go to in the first place? You'll have to listen and find out!

Wait Dylan's the guest this week? But isn't he one of the hosts? WHAT'S GOING ON?? Don't worry silly, this is the first installment of The Albums That Made Us, a series where we give you all a look into some of the most important albums in our lives, and what better way to start than with some DOOM. This album has everything: raps, beats, bars, food, fun. Enjoy.

We call dibs and so does Samantha from Sex and the City. I mean let's be real. Ladies, have you seen him in Fight Club??? Anyways. On this episode we wish a very happy birthday to Dylan's mom, talk about fireworks and concerts, celebrate employment benefits, go gamer mode talking Hogwarts Legacy, and even discuss a little bit of good ol' fashion bull riding. Needless to say, this is an...

Music and friends. These truly are the best episodes. We know this because the listening numbers are always up on these :) On this edition we bring on friend of the show and Jake's former frat little, Cooper. He joins us to discuss the famous Chance the Rapper MIXTAPE titled, Acid Rap. You know you've heard of this mixtape, so whether or not you have given it a listen before, check this episode ou...

First ever dueling candle lit convo in this podcast's history. Many are aware that a singular candle typically gets lit during recording, but TWO whole candles?!? Let's be honest; that is probably a fire hazard. Nonetheless, we run a tight ship this week. Exactly 60 minutes on the dot while discussing topics as interesting as colds, coffee shops, guac at Chipotle, night club hierarchy, goi...

Dylan goes home, Jake makes a playlist. What will these two get into next! Go check out the playlist jakes_picks on Spotify for some good tunes: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/71gSKZd53VusFFRpFhIBOn?si=01d945f070884559

We had one of the OG boys on the podcast for this episode, none other than Pearu Pold. We talked about growing up and discovering music together, as well as these guys from Australia who make cool music.

You read that right. We are done lying. Enough is enough. We promise that there will be a music episode with Pearu, it is just going to be next week. Sorry for the wait. On this episode you'll learn why ordering Bud Lights almost got Jake into a fight and hear about Dylan's warm welcome to the world of twitter threads. Go team and remember to listen on Spotify!

It's too hot in Arizona for Dylan and Jake needs to find new ways to fill his time on Monday and Thursday nights, everything is crumbling around us.

We had a whole lot to catch up on after missing last week's episode. Jake nearly died skiing, Dylan went on a shopping spree, like I said lots to catch up on.

We've all been there, you walk into a bumpin' party and want to make a good impression, but how do you do it? This is where we come in. We've come up with a list of sure fire openers that will make people say, "Who's this person? And why do I suddenly want to party with and seek approval from them?"

WE GOT OUR FIRST AD! After 58 episodes it finally happened, we have our first ad. So that being said, go check out Spotify for Podcasters if you want to start making your own podcast today!

This week we have a good old fashioned catch up sesh. A real boys talk. Your classic gab fest.

THE FUTURE IS NOW. We're breaking the podcast mold with this one folks. We spoke with an A.I. program known by some as "J.O.H.N." He made for great conversation and plenty of laughs. It's pretty scary how good this stuff is getting. Really makes you wonder if we're even real, or if we've been AI this whole time...
