Lunch with Jer

We return to our side piece, Bartaco, where Deric outs himself as a frontrunner whose allegiances are firmly for sale. We also discuss: • Is Jerry Seinfeld a dick?• Should one make art for the masses?• Sam’s fashion issues.• The assumption of the tip. And more.

The gang is back in full force at Fire on the Mountain, and discusses low T, long runs, and the dumbest little league naming system of all time. Plus, Sam makes an impassioned appeal to a close friend of the show, Stephanie (or Steph, to her friends (which Sam, thus far, is not)).

Deric takes his kids to sushi for the first EVER Sam AND Jer free podcast. As a result: our best yet. Happy birthday, Dane.

Inexplicably and—to be honest—somewhat miraculously, we have reached our 100th episode. We celebrate at old trusty, Fire on the Mountain Highlands, and discuss the proper way to parent other adults, how Deric “almost” got in a huge fight that he definitely would have won, and accidentally mobilizing the full force of the Flagstaff, AZ, police … Continue reading We somehow made it to 100 episodes....

The gentlemen meet at Fire on the Mountain south to discuss a wide array of topics, but the most notable is the WNBA, which happens at the end of the podcast. Please stay for it.

Returning to Bartaco in the highlands, the men discuss the nexus of ASMR and adult content. Also: retiring Jer from the podcast, investment strategies, and the weirdest things we do.

The guys discuss their worst moments at strip clubs. There’s more, but that’s most of it.

Jer gets pulled into an adult khaki meeting, so Deric and Sam sit down and grumble about him and also try to get to the bottom of a timeless topic: what makes weird people weird?

The guys eat tacos and talk shady sales techniques, ornery contractors, the ideal body type for playoff basketball, and why Sam’s tacos are taking so long.

How many wings is too many? How would you react if your fellow diner ordered 18 wings for himself? What is the proper way to discuss Iowa’s Caitlin Clark? Can comedians be rich and famous AND funny? These and other questions are discussed on this quarter’s episode of Lunch with Jer.

Sam leaves the guys high and dry. Typical. Deric and Jer muse about Friends nostalgia, David Coverdale’s hog, and why 25 is the best age.

We are back at Bartaco! The guys debate the best fast food restaurant, when it’s acceptable to call a team “we,” and Deric’s new men’s skincare routine (and what the other guys think about it). Also: Mexico is no longer cheap, and why it’s best to just stay home.

We come to you once again from Fire on the Mountain, and are joined by our friend and firefighter calendar model, Chad. We discuss his history posing for the calendar, plus what makes a person bad at firefighting. Also: male strippers, the Great Clips experience, the shadow self, and why Drake sucks.

Jer bailed on us today so once again the supporting cast will have to carry this one. We discuss whether Reno, NV is a viable city, when it’s acceptable to buy a drink for another man’s wife, and whether being an average musician—a la Taylor Swift—is actually better than being good.

The guys celebrate pride month by overeating tacos (Sam had 6), and discussing the value of parades in general. Deric receives an award, and Jer tries to give Sam more work. And for the first time ever, they discuss the options of a doctor who is NOT from the Netherlands. Join in on the fun!

I believe the episode title says it all.

We’re back at Bartaco! Hell yes. We talk about Jeremy’s beard, Deric’s affinity for bad haircuts (and inability to feel worthy of love), why soccer scoring is actually the same as every other sport’s scoring, the current state of kids names, Deric’s burrito smuggling habits, and which things we find good but personally don’t like.

In this episode, we try to determine which NFL franchise is the all-around shittiest, which college town is the all-around best, the appropriate thing to do when they swing that iPad around and ask for a tip, whether “good silverware” is necessary, and what to do about Deric’s short couch debacle. Join us!

We’re back at Bartaco, where the food and hospitality are always on point. Deric brought new equipment, so we’re still working out the kinks, and thus Sam is extremely loud this episode. Also, that’s just how he is. Deric theorizes that Kamala Harris has nice legs. Jer searches for a job, and meaning in life. … Continue reading Kamala’s Legs →

We’re back at Fire on the Mountain—one wife joins, another declines, a third was wildly unavailable. We discuss the MyPillow guy, hunting famous lions, and how many bites a dog is allowed before it is put down. Join us! Dutch doctor!

We are back at Fire on the Mountain in the Highlands, and boy do we have an episode for you. Deric has been required to wear old-timey race gear at his next Ironman. We discuss the best place to sit at a baseball game, and the Swiss scientist makes his usual appearance.

We switch up the location and stop by Bartaco in LoHi for some delicious tacos and margs. And somewhat delicious conversation. We discuss why Sam doesn’t have life insurance, how long it will take our wives to start dating after we die, whether vinyl is worth the time, and the best/worst fast food restaurants. And, … Continue reading Taco Time →

Happy Easter, loyal listeners. After 5 months of scheduling conflicts, vaccine-misinformation-related squabbles, and lawsuits, we have made our glorious return. We discuss the Broncos obtaining another quarterback they did not earn, Deric and Sam’s booze-fueled dinner, and Jer’s prestigious award, among other things. You’re going to want to listen.

DAN steps in for Sam & Jer! Deric and LWJ’s main pinch hitter travel to the City of Angels and squeeze in a podcast between stuffing their faces with chicken sandwiches. They discuss things you used to enjoy when you were a kid that you still enjoy, fake best man speeches, and staying in hotels … Continue reading Hollywood, Bitches →

Deric and Jer take a road trip to Berkeley, CA, and do a podcast over coffee. Beyond that, I (Sam) have no idea what they talk about. I’m on maternity leave and completely checked out. Honestly, I’m posting this four or five days after they recorded it because I completely forgot. The guys are probably … Continue reading Coffee With Jer →
