Fun fact: no explicit label on this episode! It's a year of firsts (granted, the episode is only like 10 minutes).

Jake & Jill are still on hiatus but they stop by to give a quick update; and what was supposed to be an ode to SLC turned into a verbal essay on courtesy flushes. Don't be to harsh, they're just a little rusty.

It’s that time of year again…it’s Jake’s birthday! Time to post pics of us together dating back to 2003.

I met Jake just before 09/11/2001…I remember driving around after the towers fell, and he made a joke about that awful Lee Greenwood song, “Proud To Be An American,” and I knew we were going to be best friends for life. I mean, I tried to date for like 3 months, but meh…we have more of a brother/sister relationship now, and know how to make each other laugh until it hurts.

Happy birthday JakeyPie! Thanks for being my bestie for so long…most people can’t tolerate me for more than 5 minutes…tops.

Jake and Jill have been on a little hiatus for the summer. Some of the highlights?

Jake went to Belize again.

The good news is that Jake and Jill have had a good BS sesh (as the kids say), and have some things in the works!

Thanks for sticking around.

Jake & Jill take a tour through SLC of some spots of well known urban legends.
- First they stop by the infamous whale of 9th South & 11th East (which counts as a tall tail.. hahaha)
- Jake has a song stuck in his head.
- Next they visit Hobbitville, properly known as Allen Park, which is now a SLC city park.
- They speak with a volunteer who gives some background and history of this unique place.
- Why was it called Hobbitville?
- Interested in being a volunteer at Allen Park or other SLC park units? click here
- Give your input on what SLC should do with Allen Park here
- Jake & Jill visit Emo's Grave
- They attempt to do the thing you're supposed to do here to invoke the urban legend but Jake gets a bad feeling about it, gets weirded out, and halts the attempt.
- In retrospect, it may be disrespectful to go to someone's grave and perform this ritual. A better ritual would be to place some stones on his grave as a sign of respect.

NEW EPISODE!

Jake & Jill are bombarded with tens and tens of requests for advice each year. They're in a mood to give only bad advice.

- Jake & Jill form a tribal alliance around being on team Crossroads Plaza or ZCMI Center

- Jake & Jill discuss what their names would be if they joined the Heaven's Gate cult. Even though there are ZERO cuss words in this entire episode, this topic continues our streak of never having an episode that's not explicitly rated. S**t.
