Small Towns Podcast

Thanksgiving! Dave and Jason’s favorite holiday. Jason is a master carver… taking it to an almost artistic level, and Dave… Dave employs the violent method of spatchcocking… Happy Thanksgiving!

The age of the informercial! Also known as the age of buyers remorse… Jason and Dave share some of their best late night purchases!!! “But Wait! There’s More!!!” From work out videos, to Ginsu Knives, and everything in between. Take 30 minutes and listen, and then wonder how you have gone your whole life without some of these life changing products!

It’s the bulls and mud, it’s the dust and blood… so says Garth Brooks… In this episode it becomes painfully…painfully clear, that Dave nor Jason know anything about rodeos… Doesn’t stop them from talking about them though…

Fun Fact: Dave has never had a cavity. This is of course disputed by Suzie… It may not seem funny or fascinating, but jumping down the rabbit hole of Jason and Dave’s dental habits proves more fun than you might think…

Jason and Dave(mainly Jason) get a bit sappy as they reminisce about things in their past. Dave gets right into his “feels” and Jason discovers he may be a hoarder just waiting to happen!

Our good friend Crae drops in to say hello, he shares some of the finer points of growing up in Peoa (Can I buy a vowel?) Utah. Ever apple a cow? Neither had we. And, apologies to Dave’s mom Jan… Conversation led to #2… Why does that always happen?

Dave’s long time childhood friend Ryan joins the pod today and corroborates pretty much all of Dave’s stories. He reminds us that Dave does indeed eat deer meat…as long as it is paired with PurpleSaurus Rex Kool-Aid.

Grade School Memories… Jason pees himself just in time for school pictures, and Dave reprises his iconic role in the Challenger Memorial Assembly! Also… Jason and his Mom may have committed fraud…

You would be hard pressed to meet anybody who is as well versed as Dave is when it comes to quoting classic movies of the 80’s and 90’s. Grab some corn, an ice cold coke, and enjoy the show!

Looking for a podcast that makes up Olympic statistics on the fly? Look no further. Jason sprints forth in the Annual Grouse Creek Track Meet, and Dave re-lives his glory days of Shooting the Duck on the ice

Jason and Dave share some personal pearls of wisdom... And by pearls, we mean stupid stuff that we have said to our wives and family members that we had no business saying…

Dave and Jason talk a big game…. Road rage, speeding tickets…getting hauled to the clink at 3:00 in the morning? It happened. We like to think we are law abiding citizens… Unless you count speeding tickets? You do? Then… criminals. Criminals are what we are…

We run the gamut on this episode… It is our first musical cross over…. Songs are sung. We tackle misheard song lyrics, and explore the age old question: How much Sauce is too much Sauce?

Jason and Dave do their best to stay current on the slang of the day… We call a few experts in the middle of the podcast to get their take. Apparently “Bussin, Fleak and No Cap” are reserved for those 18 years old and younger…. If you ask us, that seems a bit Sus… 

The guys take a shot at cancel culture. What things really should be cancelled? Dave could really do without Handkerchiefs, and Jason doesn’t care for pre-shelled pistachios...

Communication is discussed. How do you prefer to say hello? Personal visit, phone call, text, simple wave? Or do you prefer a more bold approach? Jason’s preferred method? Care Bear Stare. Dave’s? He simply rips his shirt off… All have their place.

Jason and Dave are not Doctors, but they play one on this podcast… From chipped teeth to appendicitis, These guys have seen the inside of an emergency room more than they would like to admit… Spoiler alert, Dave no longer has his appendix – Jason does…. However they both have scars… Weird…

Dave drives an Econoline Van down Miami Beach. Dave sets the bar very high as it relates to fashion in the 80’s (Jason also rocks the tucked in T-Shirt), and Jason learns that whilst traveling with Aunt Sharon, it is every person for themselves! At least as it relates to chocolate cookies…

Nick Z makes another appearance on the podcast! We learn more about dairy farming, and what one does during the down time on the farm. Aluminum bats and rocks? Sounds like a fun time!

Jason and Dave welcome their good friend Nick Z. to the podcast! Dave and Jason don’t know a lot about Dairy Farms, but Nick sure does. Jason prepares to jump into the cess pool(for a noble cause), and Dave gets a real close look at farm life behind the scenes!

Dave catches Jason in a gross mispronunciation. Jason feels strongly about adding a new word to the dictionary, and we learn what it means in Dave’s world when somebody needs to go “bumps.”

From Big Wheels(sock gloves included) to Big Juicy Mini-Vans. Jason and Dave discuss their earliest modes of Transportation. Want to turn the back of your truck into a mobile swimming pool? Done.

Marathons, Hot Yoga, 75 mile bike rides and more, Dave and Jason share some of their experiences on exercising and how things have changed since entering their 40’s. Jason actually tries a few stretches and Yoga poses in the studio!

“Hi, my name is Dave and I suffer from Masklophobia.” “Hi Dave!” Dave makes absolutely no progress on his phobia in Episode 7 as he claims that all 2 of his issues stem from Halloween. Jason makes a great impression on his new boss. And both agree that a new holiday – “Falladay” should be implemented across the board.
