Born in the Eighties

Jon continues having his mid-life crisis talking about the wonderful time he had back in college.  Except when he went to parties and there were high-schoolers there.. ew...  Also, just so you know, anyone can buy that mug, it means nothing unless you EARN it.

I'm gonna be honest about this one. Jon is definitely having a mid-life crisis right?  Talking about college while his friends from college have kids moving into their college dorms.  Life comes at you fast.   Episode Title Image adapted from Photo by Rachel Claire from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/men-holding-crayfish-5864756/

So, there is a jump scare at the end of this episode. Do not worry, everyone is fine, how are you?

We chat about old restaurant franchises of yore, as well as the latest streamer controversy.  Ah yes, you didn't break any laws, but that doesn't make it any less creepy.  Now that the summer games announcements are over, we chat about everything we are looking forward to in the fall.  But, honestly Jon is probably just going to be playing ArmA and World of Warcraft.   Photo by cottonbro studio: h...

Welcome to the brand new podcast Talkin' Bell, where we talk about all of the Taco Bell menu offerings in excruciating detail. Taco bell is rizzed out, and we are gooning over the new menu items!!!  Episode Artwork adapted from: Photo by Joaquin Carfagna: https://www.pexels.com/photo/neon-taco-on-window-20185282/

He was born in Bricklehem, and destined to die for our plastic sins.  Drink some Skittles cocktail and get turnt in his memory!  Rasputin has definitely never seen a Zebra before, and would also hate human-ticketmaster people scalping pretty much anything you want to buy.

Well well well... look who decided to come back?  Someone who has a potato for a microphone, but we love him anyhow.  Topics range from animated faves, to Xanga blog raves.    Episode cover art adapted from Photo by Fidel Hajj: https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-holding-fork-taking-food-2814829/

Yeah, I was on the Varsity DOTA2 squad.  Check out my letterman jacket.  Man, I would have been so into esports in High School.   Instead I was likely saying very ignorant things while playing CS 1.6, Team Fortress and Tribes.  Well, it was a different time after all.   Episode Title Art adapted from: Tima Miroshnichenko: https://www.pexels.com/photo/food-light-man-people-7047302/

If you are gonna record a podcast, you better hit record first.  Anyhoo, after Jon's recording kerfuffle, we talk of dental procedures, malls of our childhood, Chinese Pepsi flavors, what streaming services we actually have and what is actually on them right now, and we time travel back to 2005 in Jon's Xanga blog.   Episode title art adapted from cottonbro studio from Pexels: https://www.pexels.c...

Whoa. Cringe dude.  Just keep on keepin on my friend, and don't think about the super embarrassing blogs you used to read, and the super personal stuff you used to post about. 2005 was a different time man...

Looking for a place to live for a LOOOOOOOONG time?  Zillow has you covered.  Also, are milk pranks O.K.?  One lactose intolerant person says YES!

Buckle up folks, we got a long one.  5 hundo eps.  Crazy.  We bring back a blast from the past, our friend, Mercury Stardust.  She regales us with tales of her book tour and crazy tiktok life.  Quizbot grills mercury with the hard hitting questions, and we all wonder if Jon will accidentally deadname his guest? Tune in to find out!  Thanks so much for listening for 500 episodes, here is to 500 mor...

TJ has some stories from the hospital about how he lost a bit of weight... surgically.  We also talk about how Trucks are dumb, and try to out-interrupt eachother in a game of Um... Actually.

Spanky refuses to talk to gamers, and the vibes in the World of Warcraft are all off.  What isn't off is those sweet subtle tomato vibes.  Also, are you ready for your annual spousal evaluation report?  I have a lot of notes...

That is a real "oof" right there.  And we are 100% sure she isn't a Nazi right?   Title image adapted from Musa Ortaç: https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-hit-by-boxing-glove-3586873/

What will they think of next? Monkey Cameo? Wait. That is my idea, pls do not steal.  I have sent the idea via post to myself, so I own the copyright on that idea. I will have a lawyer look into this, promise.

Yeah, you got your mortadell' your gabagool, your bologna.  Basic cold cuts.  Head cheese is for real dudes.  Get that collagen in ya.  

Imagine this, you have your book-it free personal pan pizza coupon in hand, your mom pulls in to the pizza hut parking lot.  You have tickets to see Fern Gully later, but right now, it is time to have a piece of heaven in the garden room.  Everyone had one of those right? A vegetation lounge? A sun room? Greenhouse?  Just my pizza hut?  Ahh.. memories.

Jon's AT&T fiber went out for a long weekend, and that was not a pleasant time.  TJ brings up the Mtn Dew spreadsheet rankings for our perusal, and something weird is afoot in the Buffalo Wild Wings subreddit.  We will also educate you on "Pig Butchering" scams and how to avoid them.   Photo by Karolina Grabowska: https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-spreading-peanut-butter-on-toast-6659875/

TJ, Jon and Lauren travel to the great state of Missouri (Misery) to visit Spanky and sample the various mountain dews of the country.  We see sharks, get hopped up on donkey sauce, throw out our voices shouting at "Gambler" and lived to tell the tale.  There was truly too much Dew.

You know the world is infected by the woke mind virus when even the Tabacco companies are changing their mascots.  McCain never would have allowed this.
