How many "good" Ghost Buster movies are there? We discuss.Does the order of your birth matter? Two oldest siblings tell you why they are the best. What does history tell us about healing the country after massive sectarian divides/violence? Save your apologies, Trump voters. This isn't about you. This is about all of us.

What's in a name? Why we are who we are and who we could've been. Tommy Wiseau, the all American guy and Big Shark. New artists and who peaks our interests. The insulated DOJ, or not, but the DOW is over 50,000! The files, the cover-up, and the horrendous details of what's inside.

One of the most overused bumper-sticker quotes during the Obama-era I heard while working at a gun counter was "If the founding fathers were still alive, they'd be shooting by now." Now, when the things they imagined would happen are actually happening, they are silent... or supportive. The irony, cowardness and hypocrisy would be a lot funnier if American's weren't getting gunned down in the streets. Jake and Geoff talk broadly about the Pretti and Good murders. The seizing of 2020 voter data in Georgia. In a lighter segment, they talk about the most nonsensical song lyrics... Jake sings a Shinedown song. Geoff makes a bold claim about a movie series being the "best ever." Enjoy!

New Intro song! A public service announcement, profound advice from a wife, first internet experiences and some early app nostalgia. Enjoy!

Jake's shower thoughts became a reality last Saturday. If denial is a river in Egypt, Jake's tooth needed a Suez Canal. Geoff was a skater boy but could not say "later boy" because his Big 5-brand skate shoes fell apart. Is NBA basketball on the rebound? I know that kids these days are all about the retro clothing brands, but they clearly have no idea what they are talking about if they think Champion is a good brand.

Blazers are... back? Jake loses tacos for the first time in years, and it felt so good! Geoff doesn't believe in letting your kids win... they have to earn their buckets in the paint. If the government shutdown scenario was posted on Reddit as an "Am I the A-hole?" question, the verdict would be "everyone sucks." Lastly, did the results of this week's elections offer us a "New Hope?"

"We don't slump like this" .... Queen Clarisse Renaldi. Jake and Geoff went on a hike and find out that posture is very important in our advanced age. Does anything happen in the Northeast corner of Washington State? Has anyone been there? Geoff went to Seattle and got his ass kicked, was grumpy and couldn't find a place to sit down while drinking his fancy drink. Sad. Don't go to the Newport or the Maui aquariums according to our resident aquarium expert, Geoff. No dolphins, no dollar. Enjoy!

On this episode, Jake and Geoff discuss new hikes, outlooks on life, and curate the definitive list of greatest Blink 182 songs. Enjoy!

Due to Taylor Swift being stingy, the original posting of this episode was deleted because of "copyright infringement." Due to Jake's laziness, he just got around to editing out Taylor Swift's music and reposting the episode. Listen for all the fun as Jake and his squad discuss Jake's fish tank dreams, brand loyalties, nostalgic discontinued favorites, top Taylor Swift songs, and the most annoying thing Jake does. Don't miss it!

Are we cooked? History would tell us, yes. Your cousin who fell asleep during US History class tells us, but the demo-rats did it first! We talk a lot of politics- which I've heard means this episode will suck. But thanks for listening anyhow

Its a new dawn in Rip City! Damian Lillard is back from purgatory. The Blazers have a new owner, which means the wicked witch is gone. Lets party like its 1977! (I'm assuming it was a big party. I was born 13 years after the Blazers won their only championship. So, I wasn't there. I've seen the pictures though. It looked fun. You know what else is fun? listening to Say What You Mean).
