Lunch with Jer

To start the episode, Deric inadvertently (or so he says) introduces his 12-year-old son to pornography. Luckily, this podcast doesn’t have the reach to alert child protective services. The rest of the show predictably struggles without Sam (he’s writing this). My god, these two with the masks and the vaccines…it’s getting a bit obsessive. You … Continue reading Parent of the Year →

Jeremy is again absent for this podcast (second time in three episodes, for those keeping track. We’re not keeping track or anything, but maybe you are). So Sam and Deric do “dinner without Jer” on a Saturday night in Golden, Colorado, as they wait to enter the Adam Carolla standup show. They make many new … Continue reading An Evening in Golden →

In this episode of the Lunch With Jer Podcast, Sam inadvertently outs himself as a member of a far-right fringe group. Well…not exactly. But kind of. Let’s just say that 35 seconds into the podcast, there’s a revelation so shocking that we spend most of the episode trying to come to terms with it. Jer … Continue reading Sam Outs Himself As QAnon →

Jer throws the podcast into flux by bailing last second. Sam and Deric scramble to cope, and manage to produce this episode of Lunch Without Jer. Topics discussed are Valentine’s candy, Deric’s V-Day tomfoolery, and Jeremy’s job-related fire drill and subsequent betrayal. Also football.

Right? Almost? Or like, we’re halfway there at least? Allow us to discuss. Everyone’s busy, but we also find time to engage in a little locker room talk, and try to figure out why some backup quarterbacks play a lot better than others. There’s a chance Joe Biden is mentioned. Remember that guy? Coming to … Continue reading We’ve Nearly Survived the Pandemic →

On this episode, we hit on a subject no one seems to be discussing: masks. We also discuss the NFL team formerly known as the Redskins and why people are the way they are. Our best yet!

Finally, we emerge from full-blown quarantine (none of us have gone anywhere, at all) and return to the same restaurant we last visited on March 11: Fire on the Mountain, south-side. It’s good to sit down and eat wings again. We discuss the state of the world, lay out the exact plan on how to … Continue reading The Triumphant Return →

We come to humbly with another quarantine-cast, on this, Cinco de Mayo 2020. Topics include whether or not Donald is a good communicator, what will cure the COVID, and who makes the best taco bowls (hint: it’s Trump Tower Grill). Also, Jer freezes almost immediately. Join us and soldier on.

Today we check in from the comfort of our own homes, pandemic style! Deric set up a Zoom. We discuss current events, pop culture, and lost jobs. Also, we get through the entire 4/20 episode without mentioning weed once. Where else in the podcast world will you get THAT? Check the episode below, or as … Continue reading Quarantine-cast →

We descend upon Fire on the Mountain SOUTH (there’s a new location) and sample the delights while trying not to get the COVID. Then we spend most of the episode desperately trying to coax out Deric’s elusive airport story.

Well, the gear broke but our captain Deric still found a way to deliver this podcast to you. Finally, an update on why it’s been so long since we’ve done a podcast and what is the true meaning of life.

Another football road trip has brought us (well, two of us) to a much warmer yet equally weird climate: Venice Beach, California. We eat nachos, drink beer, and discuss the human scenery.

In an unprecedented move, we release our second episode within a week. Sam returns to wrestle (metaphorically, not physically…he’d lose) the coveted “second chair” away from Jer, and another two-man podcast ensues. Topics include rectal exams, etc.

Live from the Pacific Northwest…we are back.

Sam strong-arms the guys into going back to Fire on the Mountain, and everyone has to pay for lunch. The crew discusses the word “hog,” service dogs, weird baby names, airport etiquette, the “Lunch with Jer” effect, and much more.

Sam is on paternity leave after the birth of his first child, yet the boys press forth. We come to you from GQue Barbecue once again and discuss the pertinent issues of the day.

The men change scenery and eat at GQue Barbecue in Westminster. They also discuss all things meat with owner Jason Ganahl.

Back at Fire on the Mountain, we talk funeral processions slowing you down, the weirdest delay you’ve ever had in travel, and the proper way to tell someone about your vacation. Plus, Jer pays up on the quarterback bet!

On this episode, we welcome friend of the podcast and long-time external contributor Doug Ruth to the show in person. We compare the 1980s to the present day and try to determine which era is better, recap Dead & Company weekend in Boulder, and discuss people who don’t camp. PLUS, we each eat one of … Continue reading We Welcome Doug & Almost Die →

The technical difficulties have been fixed, and we give you a full, entire recorded episode. The wings are hot, the drinks are cold, and this week we discuss: Sam’s video game confession. Jer’s son’s graduation. Deric’s weird guys at the gym. The Lunch With Jer Revolving Quarterback Bet, starring Alex Smith, Case Keenum, and Kirk … Continue reading An Actual Episode →

Today we have a whopping eight-minute podcast due to frequent and drastic technical failures while recording. Please listen anyway and we promise to do better next time. Topics includes: The Great Lunch With Jer Cookout Video games (maybe) Ipads (Did that make it in?) Richard Sherman being a dick (not sure if we were recording)

The boys meet up again to eat wings and discuss how they can support Sam’s mental well-being in the new year. Plus, they clean out the idea box of outdated topics, and talk road rage and (probably) the Mormon faith.

We’re back! Tons of discussion about handling the Mormon faith (#LDS), plus the best and worst ways to get drunk off food, and much more!

The boys are back after a long layoff, and discuss national anthem protests, what you would do during a break-in, and the reason everyone thinks everything is all about them. Plus, a bonus call in from Jer’s lovely wife!

Jeremy returns from paternity leave and shares his baby-making heroics. The gentlemen also discuss the lack of television innovation, the proper way to coach youth sports, and Doug calls in with his first five decrees as president.
