Ishikawa: Summit to Sea

Casey is back in Japan. Joe is still in Japan. This podcast is still exceedingly long and perhaps not that entertaining. There is talk of babies and travel. There is a poem. There is an absence of quiz. There are areas. You are whole. You are welcome.

In a very special holiday edition of Ishikawa: Summit to Sea, the boys get trans-continental. There is no poem, there is no quiz, there are no areas. Rather, Casey sips coffee while Joe slugs brews, and the guys catch up on Casey's lavish trip home to the States. Joe sets the scene from Nagoya, where he's hunkered down at Gorgonella's mom's. Best of all, this episode is mercifully short, as Casey's churning bowels bring a quick end to this most special episode.

Episode 114
This episode features a long list of occurrences for both lads. Things we DIDN’T talk about include bum explosions, illicit house clearances, and Casey’s hairdresser. What we DO talk about ranges from suction mishaps to sad feline tales, sand between toes to drained power sources, beer-based treachery to beer-based tastery. There’s also a quiz on 50% of the sporting population of the world, a poem about a bird or lack thereof, and one IYA about dogs again, but who’s? Don’t have nightmares, nighty night. 

Episode 113

The first episode in three weeks! There's lots of catching up to do, but the main order of business is Casey giving Joe parental and marriage advice. After that, Joe delivers a poem about tennis in the style of Shakespeare. Joe tries his hand at an Ed Sheeran quiz (warning, there are 20 questions) before the boys gently probe each others areas.

Episode 112

Well, it's been a full 24 hours since this episode was recorded and neither Joe nor Casey bothered to make notes about what they talked about, and it's not as if either of them can remember at this point. No one actually reads these writeups anyway. Rest assured, there's the funny talk, the poem, the quiz, the areas! Enjoy!

Episode 111.
What do you want? Samurai?! YES! GOT IT! Legally tenuous poetry? YES! GOT IT! Dripping meat? YES! GOT IT! Too much confusing conversation that might or might not be about Casey's bottom? YES! GOT IT! Apple Watch advertising? YES! GOT IT! A poorly thought-out book plug? YES! GOT IT! A quiz centred around rules of the road? YES! GOT IT! Annoying quiz bed music? YES! GOT IT! A distracting shark attack, unfortunately, YES! GOT IT! A mispronounciation of Ovingham, again. YES! GOT IT! Joe whispering throughout the podcast? YES! GOT IT! A slick and well executed piece of production, with erudite presenters and scintilating content delivered in a professional manner? GET STUFFED, WHO DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!!

Enjoy the episode, or not, but please download it anyway.

Episode 110

Things get off to a rocky start this week, but thanks to Casey's quick thinking, the boys are able to overcome some technical difficulties. Joe leads off with banger of an intro and Casey coaches Joe on how to be a more confident man as they catch up on the news of the day. Joe reads a Yuki-based poem before administering an insect-based quizzed that also includes mostly animals. Then it's into each other's areas, where Casey recounts 150 years of Hexham history and Joe quietly covers some very cheeky dental crimes.

Episode 109.
This week's episode finds the gentlemen neck deep in Golden Week. They discuss what they've been up to over the last few days and relive their respective experiences during the powerful earthquake that struck earlier in the day. Joe reads a serious poem about his mental state of late before Casey mails in a quiz on which Joe performs surprisingly well. In In Your Area, Joe keeps it local and Casey reads the first ever audience-submitted article. And then, just as the guys are about to wrap it up, ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE HITS! 

Note from the editor (Joe): There are frequent references to toilets and toilet activities throughout this episode, those of a nervous disposition should listen with caution. None of it is graphic in nature.

It's a mercifully short episode this week as both Joe and Casey are running on fumes. The guys detail their mental and physical ailments, baby related and otherwise. Joe opines poetically about his gout bout during poetry corner. Casey impresses with his impeccable memory during the quiz, and then the guys mosey through each other's area before putting an end to this tidy episode.

Episode 107: It's been two weeks since our last episode, so naturally there was a lot of news to catch up on. The guys discuss Casey's new album, some nice walks that Joe and Gorgonella have taken recently, and a negative restaurant experience. Oh, and Joe and Gorgonella had a baby! Joe gives the blow-by-blow of birth and Casey heaps sincere congratulations upon him. Joe brings the cheese with a baby-centric poem, and Casey leans into the birth theme with a birthday quiz. There's only one IYA this week, and you'll have to listen to find how whose area gets a proper delving. 

Here's Joe and Gorgonella's baby register if you're interested! Thank you to the incredibly kind people who have sent us something already :-)
