J+J: The Garage

John praises Jen's follow through towards her personal goals, including annual participation in the Great Cycle Challenge. They took a trip to New England this past Labor Day and share some highlights.

...and Jen did get the Halloween blow-up that she wanted.

[Editor's note: while it is creepy, taking a picture of a license plate is not itself illegal. If you use the picture with malicious intent (stalking), you can incur penalties. Otherwise, it is generally safe to post a license plate publicly, as long as there is no other personal identifiable information.]

J & J talk about their bucketlist item; visiting the state fair. While it was still fresh, they converse around Princess Leia, English Bulldog, whom also attended said trip, the various events they attended sweatily, and the inconsistencies of the grandstand's plastic cup policy.

[Editor's note: John incorrectly identified a "thrust stage" as an "ego stage" . Synonyms include "open stage" and "platform stage" but alas, not "ego stage"]

J & J recap a strenuous July with a little help from BB. They're dealing with typical Midwest problems like watering the plants during a flood watch, getting that first tow hitch and opossums showing up under your car. And yes, we welcome Tik Tok to our fleet!

[Editor's note: According to Google AI, "Champagne wishes and caviar dreams" was the signature closing phrase of Robin Leach's show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"]

This contains the outtake track from Patrick's session in the garage from June of 2025

J & J welcome Patrick back to the garage studio. They discuss creativity from it's core to making money. BB crashes the show late in the episode with talks around her new tattoo. The climax is of course as Jack and Jillian reveal something BB is quoted as saying was a "therapeutic breakthrough"

[Editor's note: Patrick previously appeared in Season 1 Episode 15 titled "Don't wait to be happy (happy birthday, Patrick)" that was released on 5/2/2023)

A full leg tattoo from thigh to the ankle is called a "leg sleeve", not "leg", "pants" or "pant leg".

Please mind the editor, he'll have the outtakes bonus episode to y'all right quick.]

J & J spend a half hour-ish talking about getting in to old people stuff. Highlights include Jillian calling out Jack for checking her blind spot.

If you have seen a runnng Geo Metro (1989-1997), please let the J's know!

For this season's first guest, we welcome Rogue. Rogue is a family friend with a loud passionate voice who shares the zoomer truck-driver perspective that makes him so unique.

[Editor's note: Google AI tells me Rogue is correct that emissions testing is not required in some counties and zip codes in Illinois.

"Mother, Mother" (1996) by Tracy Bonham is partially sung by Jillian.

Sylvester Stallone's character Rocky Balboa in Rocky Balboa (2006) monologues the speech that Rogue paraphrases.]

Our duo forgoes a guest in this episode to just push out some new content. They gush about their working vacation they took in March and even took in a show at the Grand Ole Opry for its 100th anniversary.

Also, the gauntlet has been dropped for the next pizza podcast garageoke theme for their next guest.

[Editor's note: The hike J+J referenced was completed at Pomona Natural Bridge in the Shawnee National Forest.

We are aware that the math of their progress in The Walking Dead is incorrect.]

J + J wax poetic on the foibles of how their middle age is showing. Is it just them or does 2025 feel like going downhill with no brakes?

And Jack has been quoted as "missing winter" in this episode.

[Editor's note: Capybaras [sic.] are native to South America and are the world's largest rodent. The movie 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) starring John Goodman is referenced without name. Panic Room (2002) starring Jodie Foster is referenced by name. ]

J + J show how life is muy importante through various topics. They also debut a new podcast drinking game; every time Jillian pours a drink, you take a drink!

...and the blowups have been unfrozen.

[Editor's note: At episode drop, there was only ~1" of snow covering downtown Fargo. ]
