After a number of months off, editor finally finished this episode. It's been a while. They try to relate some empathetic means to be more effectual around anxiety. Jillian even drops her anxiety with a lip quiver. Bottom line, everyone should be Magic Miked upon.

[Editor's note: The first outtake features a noise that can be best described as Jack rocking gleefully in his chair.

...and editor must say that the reason for the podcast's hiatus was not because Jack called Jillian "vanilla".]

Jack and Jillian try to do two things; not spoil the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and relate diving stories to mental health. Jack shares his parking rule (OCD much?). Jillian shares her brilliant calendar trick. They both share accident stories from their earlier years.

Jack and Jillian welcome friend and local favourite comedian Patrick Newson to the garage as their 3rd guest. They make him eat hawaiian pizza. For some reason, Jack dies on his "katty corner" hill. Jillian and Patrick serenade the plastic record clip. Speaking of ghost dicks, Jack shares a legit fond memory of Patrick. B joins the chat when we shift to pancakes. Patrick relates dating to avocado toast. Patrick talks about how/why the Thompson Twins are now ruined for him.

[Editor's note: The Odeum Expo Center was 100% demolished as of early 2023. It was located in Villa Park from 1981-2022 and was a swell place to get COVID tests done drive-thru. Jillian went to craft faires there. Jack saw Rammstein perform there. Patrick punched someone holding a chainless chainsaw there.]

Patrick can be heard on Stupids Talking Stupid. They rank. Give them a listen. Also on sugarbeets.

Jack and Jillian deliver some of their favourite special memories that they cherish. Main topics include wedding books, yucky leftover booze, station wagons, the new used cars, sale ad mailers, candles and the garage.

[Editor's note: Jillian meant jump-scare not scare-jump.]

Jack tries to give the reins to Jillian to steer the episode. Jack would have been a star in the era of slapstick humour. And don't tell son that he has a upgrade.

Jack and Jillian try and relate back to ancient times of olde in the era of ye paye telephonicum. Then bring it back to some metaphor about trusting in yourself despite how circumstances change though times and generations. Sometimes your "serendipity" moments may take decades to materialize. We really like our new Donner Microphones! Be sure to stay tuned directly after the episode for outtakes from the garage!

[Editor's note: Jack & Jillian recommend the movie Aliens in the Attic (2009)

I've been told Jillian meant "announce", not "renounce".

I've also been told Jack meant "You don't need to go to Harvard to be an electrician".]

Jack and Jillian explain how the garage studio began via intense pinteresting. Jack gets electrocuted, that time was icicle lights. The Christmas season's lights going up was a learning experience. Your hobby can be decorating your home for no one but yourself. Indulge hobbies that make you happy.

Jack and Jillian welcome long-time friend "Jo" to the garage. Jillian reveals her desire to try stand-up b/c she's funny. Leyden township name drop. w00t. Otherwise, listen up for some talking about being yourself. And don't expect Logan International to be open for a late dinner.

[Editor's note: The Editor was watching "The Nanny" whilst editing. Apologies.] Dude. [Ed: I'll replace you, Jack. Jillian and Jo could be a better J&J than your punk-ass. He said "stucking with us". Out loud. Did you even contribute to this episode?] Ass.
