Geisler's Guidelines episodes

  • S2 Episode 6: Conflict, with Becky Spies

    Jordan and his former English teacher Becky Spies sit down to talk about conflict. Together, they discuss their distaste for conflict and how they deal with it (like how Jordan watches it on reality TV). They discuss their approaches to dealing with conflict, particularly bad conflicts they've had, the difference between conflict and confrontation, and how conflict with family members is different than conflict with friends. They also go over the dynamic of apologies between parents and children when Jordan rehashes a recent discussion he had with his parents while also revealing how terrible petty he is. Later, they play what may be the best game of Character Profile in the history of the show! Please leave a review so other people know that Geisler's Guidelines is well worth a listen.

  • S2 Episode 5: Embarrassment, with Steve and Kelli Van Zant
    In possibly the funniest episode thus far, Jordan and his good friends/former small group leaders Steve and Kelly recall their many mishaps and stories of embarrassment. Together, they delve into their most embarrassing moments, times they embarrassed other people, and how they deal with shame and learn to move on. They discuss how embarrassment is both healthy and unhealthy, and how seeing other people embarrass themselves brings out the human in them. Later, both Steve and Kelli set new high-scores for Viral Vocab! Please leave a review so other people know that Geisler's Guidelines is well worth a listen.

  • Season 2 Epiode 4: Body Image, with Keionna Bailey
    Jordan and his great friend and classmate Keionna dive into the concept of body image.

Plus, they settle the debate on whether or not wearing sweat pants to school is OK. Later, they do a Cold Reading about a man needing butt surgery. And, as if the episode couldn't be topped, both Jordan and Keionna do a segment of Screw It. Please leave a review so other people know that Geisler's Guidelines is well worth a listen.

  • S2 Episode 3: Honesty, with Rachel Howard
    Jordan and his humor-appreciating friend Rachel discuss honesty while dancing around the truth of who exactly they're being honest about.

  • S2 Episode 2: Health & Fitness, with Matthew Keck

    Jordan gets more flack than ever before by having his friend (and former podcast host) Matthew Keck on the show. Together (with brand new recording equipment!) they discuss their takes on health and fitness, including their opinions on gyms, body-shaming, and embarrassing moments they've had while exercising. They get on crazy tangents involving Jordan being a dictator and their distaste for Gym-stagramers. Plus, Jordan does his final segment of "Recently On Big Brother" and initiates his first segment of "Screw It": a segment dedicated to ranting. Later, they play a game of Character Profile, which, unfortunately, is mostly destroyed due to a technical error. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss an episode!

  • BONUS! Roast and Toast, with Rebecca Boiney
    To make up for the lack of a season 1 finale, Jordan does a Geisler's Guidelines first and has a Roast and Toast of a movie! Jordan and his great friend Rebecca Boiney do a Roast and Toast of the 1994 Tim Allen Christmas movie The Santa Clause. Together, they dissect the issues of the movie while also acknowledging its few areas of merit, including, but not limited to, child acting, Tim Allen's insult skills, the disregard for the concept of time, fat-shaming, a very scandalous deleted scene, a bad dance number, and the need for a prequel depicting an evil Santa. Afterwards, they play a Christmas-themed version of In Other Words (despite the fact Jordan wrongly calls it "Spin Off" on the show). Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss an episode!

  • S2 Episode 1: Failure, with John Shupe and Rhiane Steinhauer

    Welcome to season two, where new games, a new logo, and new segments abound! Jordan explains and apologizes for the lack of a season finale in season 1, but promises to make up for it at a later time. In honor of making it to two seasons, Jordan brings two guests on the show: his good friends John and Rhiane. This is also the final episode with a terrible recording device, so apologies to John that most of his audio in the first twenty minutes is hard to hear. Together, the group delves into the failures of their past (and present), how they've managed to overcome them, and what failures in particular stand out above all others. They also discuss plans for their 21st birthdays, the horrors of solo and ensemble in middle-school band class, and Jordan gives his second on-air PSA about crying. Plus, to kick off season two, Jordan introduces a new segment. Later, they all play an excellent game of Spin-Off (which Jordan wins, and kinda cheats at). Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss an episode!

  • Episode 13: Gender Roles, with Connie DeVries

    Jordan and his wonderful octogenarian friend Connie dig into how they've experienced gender roles throughout their lives...and it turns out, for the most part, they haven't. Along the way they discuss gender roles within jobs they've had, their thoughts on the worst gender roles for men and women, and whether or not gender roles will ever go away. Later, they give a PSA about crying and Jordan rants about the challenges of not being very athletic. Afterwards, they play Florida Man: Real or Unreal? where Connie ties with Olivia Buchanan's highscore. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss an episode!

  • Episode 12: Death, with Brooke Zarotny

    Jordan and his former busmate/tennis teammate/neighbor Brooke Zarotny get spiritual and also depressed as they talk about death. They go over people they've lost, what they believe comes after death, and the concept of eternity. They also go on tangents about their deceased driving test instructor George Washington, car accidents in their own driveways, and the downfall of their old high-school. Later, they play Curse of the Alphabet, a new game revolving around using words starting with specific letters. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss an episode!

  • Episode 11: Popular Culture, with Matthew and Michele Geisler

    After a lot of deliberation, Jordan finally decides to have his parents be on the podcast--or is it that they let him let them be on the podcast? Together they delve into the many downsides of popular culture...and its few upsides. They discuss the power of fame, how self-absorbed popular culture is, and the ability of spreading awareness through social media. Plus, they spend a solid portion of the episode discussing their distaste for some old and current trends, and Jordan discusses the devolution of Spongebob. Later, they play a game of Modern Slang (now called Viral Vocab) where, after some light reviewing, Jordan's dad unfortunately doesn't set a new record. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss an episode!
