It’s ! Who knew that my golfing buddy would one day be my co-host? We’ve been a little slower than we’d like in getting new episodes posted lately, but we’re still here, and we’d love it if you’d give us a listen! Link in bio, as they say.

If you think this is scary, imagine the snakes in Ireland when St. Patrick got off the boat.

This time last year, on Pi Day, we were in Atlanta eating pie and the world was in the earliest throes of going co-razy. This year, we are at home (albeit in different states), and tonight I (Jay) made some comfort food: Shepherd’s Pie. The pic didn’t turn out great but wife and mom of the podcast gave it thumbs up, even with lamb! Why lamb, you ask? Well, watch out this week for a new episode about St Patrick’s Day and find out!

We’re back! And because our summer hiatus was caused by summer camp, we thought we should start the new season with the Vital subject of camp. But these pics cause some confusion: who’s the father? Who’s the son? Check out our latest episode: “Ain’t No Powdered Eggs Here!” Link in bio, of course.

Can’t believe we missed National Donut Day yesterday! I hope they don’t take our donut-man cards away. But then again, yesterday I don’t think I could have found this Hipster Cronut with salted caramel glaze and coffee cream. So I am at peace. And of course Do-nut miss our fun episode on donuts and their forbears.

It’s Flavorites Friday! In the music episode (Does this food taste good or is that the music talking?) Jay gives props to his fave folk group, and Jacob is all about who recently recorded some cool tracks on phones in an empty church. Check out the episode and the music!

Hi everybody! Quick note here to let everybody know that Jacob and I are taking a short hiatus over the summer. He is working at Pine Cove way over in Texas and I'm stuck in my summer home (and winter, and fall, and spring home). We thought about trying to do it remotely, as many podcasts are doing these days, but his internet/wifi connections are wonky at best out there, and his time is limited, so we decided to save the stress and take a break. Plans are to re-convene in the fall with Season Three! Meanwhile, if you are looking for something new to listen to, if you are still quarantined and have already binge-watched everything worth binge-watching, or have just missed an episode, now is the perfect time to catch up!
Here's a link to our site, and we are also on all your favorite podcast hosts like apple, spotify, etc. Thanks for listening! J

My alter ego...cast...

Dune. The mysterious planet with another name. And the mysterious 1984 movie-that-shall-not-be-named, according to it’s own director, that is. But it’s still a “rite of passage,” or at least that’s what Robbie and Art convinced Jay. Enough to have him shell out $3.99 and rent it so he coul...
