Episodes

Episode 168 - Toledo Are You There? 28.04.2025

In episode 168, Joe — one half of your favorite 90’s Christian ska survivors — makes a solo journey to Toledo, while Reese heckles safely from the comfort of home. Joe spends $32 on valet parking, wanders through abandoned malls, and eats a chili dog so depressing it should come with a counseling session. Reese pulls up Google Maps to confirm the river looks like a septic tank with a Yelp page. It...

Episode 167 - This Belongs in a Museum 21.04.2025

In episode 167 of Joe & Reese’s Pickle & Boot Shop , Joe tells the story of the sideways turd in Stall 2. Reese shares his dream of a pill that makes poop smell like lavender. They look up real museums about poop and fake Guinness records. You'll also hear about some million-dollar ideas they’ll never follow through on, like Shark Tank but with more poop jokes. We hope you hate it. Pa...

Episode 166 - Sometimes I Like a Dry Rub 14.04.2025

This week, Joe and Reese kick things off with a deep theological dive into rectal exams, dry rubs, and whether Jesus prefers BBQ sauce. Joe bravely tells the tale of Grim's final vet visit—a moving story somehow filled with jokes about trash cans, and mistaken pet identities. Reese nerds out over regional dialects and pronounces “Shenandoah” like he’s got a PhD in Iroquois Linguistics. There’...

Episode 165 - Six Plates, No Brakes, & a Toast to Grim 02.04.2025

n today’s episode, Reese kicks things off with his epic tale of downing six plates of seafood at Captain George’s in Myrtle Beach, only to christen a "poop corner" in his hotel room as the aftermath hits. Joe laments how coffee no longer "slaps cheeks" and Reese defends his Adderall-and-coffee lifestyle against those black coffee purists he can’t quite vibe with. On a tougher n...

Today is our 4 year anniversary of the podcast! In celebration, here is the bonus episode for Episode 100......our interview with Mojo from the O.C. Supertones!

Episode 164 - Predator's Midlife Crisis 31.03.2025

In episode 164 of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop, Joe and Reese concoct a Predator sitcom where Larry trades trophy hunting for nagging wives and spoiled melons, then rave about Adolescence—a Netflix gem so intense you’ll need Seinfeld as a chaser to avoid nightmares. They weep for the lost glory of malls, spar over monopolies like Amazon’s evil empire, and demand AI judges to slap...

Episode 163 - Syphilis of the Lungs 24.03.2025

Episode 163 of Joe & Reese’s Pickle & Boot Shop features Joe’s return after repeated power outages and Reese dealing with a broken hot tub that cats have claimed as their own. Joe shares a foolproof pickup line involving fart accusations, and they also have a real conversation about Kyle, reflecting on how they misjudged him in the past and how they’d handle things differently now. Also, J...

Episode 162 - Lactose, Lies, and Late First Dates 17.03.2025

In today’s episode, Joe is mysteriously absent (probably wrestling raccoons or fighting off another made-up ailment), so Reese ropes in his charming, far-too-good-for-him girlfriend Kara to co-host. What follows is their awkward origin story, including lies about age, a suspicious wedding ring, lactose intolerance, and a first date so romantic it involved blistered shishito peppers and a prolonged...

Episode 161 - Casa Don't-Eat-It 02.03.2025

Today's episode of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop is another glorious trainwreck of a conversation, featuring a gold chain that proudly says "Ligma", a deep dive into the legendary grossness of Casa Bonita, and a debate over whether billionaires should be forced to pay taxes—or at least buy everyone sopapillas. Reese gets philosophical about capitalism while Joe tries...

Episode 160 - We Did Math 24.02.2025

This week, Joe and Reese embark on a heroic yet completely unnecessary quest to calculate square footage for a listener’s carpet purchase. Turns out, neither of them remembers how math works. Joe discovers that square feet have nothing to do with actually squaring numbers, while Reese insists he can solve everything by rounding up (which is great if you want to carpet your entire neighborhood). Al...

Episode 159 - Bladders & Irish Rappers 16.02.2025

In today's episode, our dynamic duo discuss the evolution of swear words and take a deep dive into the Irish rap group Kneecap .

Episode 158 - Gerald, the Mentally Ill Demon, Made Me Do It 09.02.2025

In today's episode, the guys discuss mentally ill demons named Gerald. Joe educates us on the lost art of drumming (apparently, it requires less effort than blinking), while Reese details his gravity-defying stage antics that may or may not have been demonically inspired. We also learn that Reese's luggage was stolen, but thankfully, the thief spared the Five Iron Frenzy banner—because e...

Episode 157 - Six and 13/55ths Reasons to Never Do Math on a Podcast 02.02.2025

In today's episode of Joe & Reese’s Pickle & Boot Shop , the duo embarks on an 18-minute journey to solve a single fraction problem. Along the way, Joe flexes his deep knowledge of World War II documentaries, while Reese talks about For All Mankind , making it sound like the greatest show ever—because, obviously, alternate history is so much more exciting than real history. They also...

Episode 156 - The Great Drag Queen Room Hunt 20.01.2025

In today’s episode, Joe ambitiously plans to pen two whole songs for 2025, while Reese aims to re-record albums that already exist. They reminisce about tour life, including Joe's near-death experience on icy roads and Reese's confusing a Waffle House for a venue in Dallas. There's talk of a dream concert lineup in Denver where the Insyderz might actually draw a crowd - of at least...

Episode 155 - Snow Is Basically Lava, Apparently 12.01.2025

In today's episode, Reese unleashes an unhinged rant about the South’s inability to handle snow, comparing it to “living in Pompeii” every time a flake falls. Meanwhile, Joe keeps things light with tales of holiday meals featuring twice-baked potatoes and Reuben sandwiches, sparking a discussion of “quad-baked potatoes.” It's another episode with absurd tangents and controversial hot tak...

Episode 154 - Give Me the Rock, Holmes (and a Knee Brace) 25.12.2024

In today’s episode of Joe & Reese’s Pickle & Boot Shop, the guys dive into the high-stakes drama of Chicago Bears fandom, dissect rookie mistakes, and take a nostalgic tour of Michigan snowstorms—because what’s life without snowboarding injuries and 40-minute drives through weather chaos? Joe shares his attempts at dunking (spoiler: gravity always wins) to a philosophical debate on whether...

Episode 153 - "We Don’t Know Algebra, Joe!" 23.12.2024

In this week's episode, Joe and Reese tackle the true meaning of the holidays: overthinking math problems and cleaning up post-dog-disaster crime scenes. Highlights include a chili-fueled debate on percentages, phone-a-friend fiascos, and Heidi’s multitasking heroics from the bathroom. Add in a sprinkle of yuletide sarcasm, some questionable Patreon shout-outs, and you'll have the perfec...

Episode 152 - It Has the Nose-Feel of a Basement 15.12.2024

In Episode 152 of Joe & Reese’s Pickle & Boot Shop , the boys take a deep dive into the fine art of creating the worst liquor imaginable, from fermented castor oil to “oily basement sweat”—because apparently, Malört just wasn’t awful enough. Sprinkle in a healthy dose of bad accents, misguided history lessons, and the inevitable Patreon plug, and you’ve got another freebie episode. We hope...

Episode 151 - Sloppy Joes & Speedos 08.12.2024

In today's episode of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop , the guys dive headfirst into the culinary enigma that is the Sloppy Joe, with Joe passionately advocating for its rightful place as a mealtime hero while Reese throws in tips on upgrading your bun game.

Packed with cringe, chaos, and just enough nonsense to question your life choices...it’s The Pickle & Boot Shop. We hope you hate it.  Patreon: www.patreon.com/pickleandboot...

Episode 147 - Black Pants Grey Shirt Bad Mustache Cadillac 11.11.2024

Joe and Reese are back with the first episode of their new format. In this episode, Joe reveals his love of eggnog flavored tea of which Reese does not approve of. That is the first ever conversation of the new format. Then the guys talk a bunch of random stuff which I think is a new segment and then they close out the show doing another new segment. We hope you hate it! Patreon: www.patreon.com/p...
