Jokers Are Wild

Jack recaps the latest Stanley Cup action and the trials of being a Caps fan. Then he and Ryan break down why the NHL playoffs are superior to the NBA's and why that isn't translating over to viewership numbers. The boys also discuss paternity leave and why people seem to care so much about whether other people take it.

Also some talk about Uber finally in Buffalo, an update on how Ryan's MLB picks against USA Today are faring, unicorn frappuccinos and more!

Jack is finally in California and recaps his cross country trip, which was complete with stops in St. Louis, Denver, Arches and Zion National Parks, San Diego and...Tijuana.

Jack changed his ways as a driver this trip, was pleasantly surprised with Missouri, talked about weed with his friends in Denver, scalped tickets for several sporting events and spoke with Mexican cab drivers in their native tongue. Also, Jack has had it with state stereotypes. This is one you're gonna want to check out.

Ryan has been preparing for a Tough Mudder on a course constructed by his family. Jack rails against people freeloading off his fitness expertise and Ryan tell him that to be happy he must be a jerk and reap the rewards. A fitness discussion ensues about how people overthink the simplest things when setting fitness goals.

Meanwhile in the sports page, a twitter user screws over a pro women's golfer in a major championship, a soccer team disbands after losing a match 12-0 and Adrian Peterson visits the Patriots who quite frankly shit rainbows while the rest of the league is stuck in mediocrity. Ryan reviews Kong: Skull Island and the boys preview Jack's upcoming cross country trip.

Jimmy Hascup from USA Today joins the boys to break down the Stanley Cup Playoffs and its broken format. While Ryan watches WonderCon recaps, Jack asks Jimmy about NHL players being banned from the Olympics and the ramifications of that decision.

Meanwhile Ryan and his extensive knowledge of baseball go head to head with Jimmy for Major League Baseball predictions. Jack reviews Life, recaps Wrestlemania and then the boys discuss the possibility of Jack dating older women and taking steroids. Ryan sheds a little light on his recent woes with women and Jimmy offers his advice as a single man himself.

The boys have made it ten episodes and life is good. We have five star reviews pouring in so make sure to subscribe on iTunes and add your own (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1209329278).

The boys give their reviews for Power Rangers, Goon 2 (Jack drove to Canada to be able to see this one), and The Great Wall (Matt Damon passed up Manchester by the Sea for this???).

Meanwhile Ryan's nephew is terrified of him, Jack doesn't understand why everyone insists all babies are cute when many are quite frankly hideous.

On the other side of the break, a dude dressed as the Joker is arrested in Virginia and Jack thinks it was Ryan on the DL. Ryan doesn't understand how Sam Ponder married Christian Ponder and the boys decide to rank the hottest sideline reporters in the next episode. Also the NFL is cutting down commercials next year, which is wooing Jack back.

Jack and Ryan open the show talking about Kyrie Irving and Shaq insisting the earth is flat. Yes, there are still people in the world that believe the earth is flat. Also NBA ballers have found that it's cheaper to stay in when on road trips rather than hit up nightclubs? Meanwhile a South African soccer player celebrates a huge win by thanking his wife...and girlfriend.

Disney is cranking out 15 live action remakes of their classics and we do a thorough breakdown of them. And finally, Jack has an extremely embarrassing incident on the LA freeway and reluctantly shares it with Ryan.

Jack is in LA while Ryan is in Houston so it's full blown vacation mode for the Jokers. Jack just got a job while Ryan went to a 7:30AM happy hour and a triple drive-thru Whataburger. Jack talks about several harrowing experiences with photographers and outsmarting a scalper. Ryan plans his trip to hang out with Jack after his move and then talk shifts to Donald Trump's latest antics and the radioactive boars plaguing the Japanese countryside. Seriously (even the Sharknado people couldn't come up with that one). Jack rails on the Redskins ineptitude and Ryan is happy with the Eagles free agency.

We were fortunate to get Henrik Jeppesen from Denmark on the Jokers are Wild Podcast. He has visited EVERY country in the world (and many multiple times). He told us about hitchhiking in India, finding a way to get into Syria when it was a damn WAR ZONE, a near-death experience with food poisoning, the most beautiful women in the world and meeting the prime minister of Tripoli.

Bottom line, this guy has a million stories and told us that he would rather forgo a normal life, buy experiences and make the world his home. He's done just that for a dozen years and counting and gives you tips to travel cheaply. It's a truly remarkable interview and one you should check out. Thanks again to Henrik for coming on and all the best in his quest to now visit every territory in the world (he has 36 left)!

To get in touch with Henrik, check out his website complete with stunning photos at http://www.henriktravel.com/ and follow his Twitter @henriktravel (https://twitter.com/henriktravel).

Ryan has finally seen Logan and gives his full review. He's also received yet another jury summons and vents about it. Could Jack be moving to the West Coast soon?

In the sports page, we have Jack doing several impressions and the Big Show calling out Shaq? Also Tim Tebow wants to adopt an Antartican child?

In the second segment, Jack wonders why anyone wants to go to the moon, Venezuela is down to it's last 10 billion dollars and Russia is banning the new Beauty and the Beast. Jack attacks NCAA bracket stupidity and Ryan opens up some Lord of the Rings cards live on the air! What a way to wrap the show!

The boys have their first guest ever on the show and it's Jack's good friend Meghan Cuda. Meghan and the boys talk about the Oscars and the big fail during the best picture award presentation. Was it rigged?

In the sports page, Jack has a major on-air meltdown when the Caps make a big move. Cedric Benson can't recite his ABCs and blames the NFL. A junior hockey player assaulted a referee and was arrested. Then the boys get into a serious discussion about whether student athletes should be paid. Meghan was a D-I athlete so she brings in her take to the issue and battles it out with Ryan.

Meanwhile Buffalo doesn't have Uber and we try to sort out that debacle. Meghan also gives us her relationship advice, Jack's ass becomes a major topic of conversation and we try to test her movie knowledge.
