Dirty Laundry and White Lies

This month, we’re joined by Tim Chambers of Marion Brewing Company for a conversation about craft beer, local business, and what’s happening around Marion. We sample several beers brewed at Tim’s brewery—along with a few from elsewhere that receive some decidedly mixed reviews.

Tim also explains how changes to Ohio law could hurt smaller breweries and tells the story behind Not Alamo Coffee Stout. After a trademark dispute over its original name, Alamo Coffee Stout, Marion Brewing Company made one brilliantly simple change: they added the word “Not.” Apparently, that was enough to keep the lawyers at bay—for now.

Grab a beer and join us for brewery stories, honest taste tests, and a look at some of the recent changes happening around Marion.

In this episode, we take a look back at how everyone finished in our Music League Challenge. Matt dives into the new venue for Rib Redemption and reveals who won this year. Will Jamey's surprise guest show up? And finally, who the hell is Hot Bscuits?

He’s back…

In this episode, we welcome Tony Taylor back to the podcast after two years (as a guest only, of course). We discuss Tony’s firing, and a fight nearly breaks out in the studio when he comes face-to-face with his replacement for the very first time. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. However, once we calmed Tony down and dried his tears, we talked about his new original release, as well as everything he’s been working on in the studio where this podcast originated.

Tony has been producing music and audiobooks right in Rock Haus Studios. It was great catching up with our old co-host, and it felt like no time had passed.

We also discussed the Music League challenge that we’re opening up to our listeners. Check the Facebook page for links and details shortly after the podcast’s release.

This episode on Dirty Laundry & White Lies, history was made — and not just at the Olympics.

We kicked things off celebrating the U.S. Greg came prepared for St. Patty’s Day with the whiskey… and walked away with something even bigger: an official promotion to full-time member of the podcast.

Meanwhile, for the second time in show history, we were supposed to record from Florida. For the second time, Jamey bought plane tickets. And for the second time… he didn’t make the trip. At this point, Florida might just be a concept more than a location.

We introduce the drinks, relive the now-annual “Almost Florida” saga, celebrate Olympic gold, and wrap things up with our traditional In Memoriam — where, for the record, we had more drinks than names to read this year. Priorities.

New era. Same chaos. Now with 33% more Greg.

In this episode we speak with the amazing Chase Dull aka Tony 2.0.  We talk about some of Chase's former bands and his attempt (or desire) to REVIVE at least one of those bands.  Matt makes his disdain for most county music well known.  Finally we have the big reveal winner of the Battle of the Bands Hairband edition.

Round two of our Battle of the Bands: 80s Edition wraps up with big hair, bigger hits, and an even bigger announcement. We’re joined by Mike Madden, Commissioner of Velocity 1 Pro Wrestling and host of the Madden Takes podcast, to drop a bombshell—our very own Jamey is stepping into the squared circle as the official ringside announcer for V1P! We talk wrestling, 80s icons, and the wild intersection of body slams and boom boxes. This one's electric—don’t miss it.

In this special January episode, Jamey and Matt welcomed our old friend Jon Dabrunz as our guest for a lively and nostalgic discussion. We kicked things off with introductions and shared the beers we were enjoying. The main event? A high-stakes Battle of the Bands Showdown, where we tackled the first round of an epic bracket featuring iconic 80’s hairbands, narrowing down the contenders for the next round.  The Battle of the Bands will continue throughout the 2025 podcasts.

As we do every January, we also paid tribute to notable figures we lost over the past year, reflecting on their impact and legacy.

Tune in for music debates, laughter, and a toast to the past as we kick off the new year in style!

In this episode the special guest reveals some great stories and history of JPH.  Lots of stories and laughs you don't want to miss.  This roller coaster episode will definitely go down in our podcast books as on to remember.

In this episode we crash land with Zach Beckman, former owner of Loco Deli, currently running 419 Venue Guy and Chef at Bel-Mar Boat Landing in Tiffin.

We talk to Zach about his former Downtown Fremont restaurant and all he had to endure while being an outsider with a restaurant in the downtown area. We discuss his adventures that he has been on since, and what he is doing now. We also discuss his Brisket Ruben Sandwich in great detail.

In this episode we invite our very own producer to sit in with us, JPH's own son, Austin.

We have Deb and Greg on and we discuss our experiences with the Total Solar Eclipse.  We discuss the Fremont Amphitheater, and Jamey drinks his heroes beer.
