Episode 189 - Podcast Boners & Final Rambles

Episode 190 - Pickle & Boot Shop, the Champagne of Podcasting

In this penultimate freebie—thrown together amid holiday chaos—the guys blame high prices and bad weather on the president (Obama still takes heat), Joe sips and praises Michigan's maple-finished Ice Storm Whiskey, and Reese deals with family roasts and cat bites. Light tangents on kids, gifts, and life stuff fill the low-energy void as they admit "we got nothing tonight." Next week's finale gets a vague promise of effort ("might not be good, but we'll try harder")—no big guests, just more of the usual. One week from the Irish goodbye, it's mostly sweet relief with Miller High Life nostalgia—the Champagne of Beers for the Champagne of Podcasts. We hope you hate it.

Episode 189 - Podcast Boners & Final Rambles

In this near-end episode of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop, the duo kicks off with five-second "ab" workouts and Reese's mustache cop perks before Joe recounts his trailblazing fight for roofing mustaches, tattoos, and beards (complete with a suspension and tattoo-removal orders). They roast bad Christmas movies like Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (but defend It's a Wonderful Life), dive into Reese's "band dad" phase and his kids' Five Iron Frenzy obsession, and ponder a last-gasp Steve Taylor guest spot. The Irish goodbye looms larger than ever. We hope you hate it.

Episode 188 - Night Wad Nights

In this near-final episode of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop, the hosts lament unrecorded pre-show laughs and kids blasting Futurama before sharing "winged" desperation dinners: Reese's "night wad" nails the old food pyramid, while Joe's "turkey apples onions" skillet—later boosted with spuds—turned into a kid-requested birthday hit born from lean times. They rank podcasts, giving The Dollop's dark history lessons the edge over Stuff You Should Know's fact-heavy snoozes, and wonder if Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend could rescue the genre.

Episode 187 - Lot of Beef, Just a Lot of Meat

In this wheezing freebie homestretch episode of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop, the duo slurps soup on-mic, spirals into a soup-stew-chili taxonomy war that ends with "Uncle Pete" meat smoothies for the jaw-wired-shut crowd, and debates Halloween costumes that'd get you fired from a nursing home. Reggie's ghostly foot-washing antics haunt the chat, while they roast their own half-assed show notes and pivot to ska nostalgia with Pietasters anthems that deserve a Spotify shuffle. As they bicker over donating "Patreon riches" to convert folks via Pee-wee and Barbie marathons, it's clear the Irish goodbye can't come soon enough—especially with a supermoon rising like Reese's questionable moon. We hope you hate it. __________________________________________________________________________ You’re invited to a secret gift exchange! RSVP soon as names will be drawn in this gift-giving game!
