Lunch with Jer

We return to our side piece, Bartaco, where Deric outs himself as a frontrunner whose allegiances are firmly for sale. We also discuss:

• Is Jerry Seinfeld a dick?
• Should one make art for the masses?
• Sam’s fashion issues.
• The assumption of the tip.

And more.

The gang is back in full force at Fire on the Mountain, and discusses low T, long runs, and the dumbest little league naming system of all time. Plus, Sam makes an impassioned appeal to a close friend of the show, Stephanie (or Steph, to her friends (which Sam, thus far, is not)).

Deric takes his kids to sushi for the first EVER Sam AND Jer free podcast. As a result: our best yet. Happy birthday, Dane.

Inexplicably and—to be honest—somewhat miraculously, we have reached our 100th episode. We celebrate at old trusty, Fire on the Mountain Highlands, and discuss the proper way to parent other adults, how Deric “almost” got in a huge fight that he definitely would have won, and accidentally mobilizing the full force of the Flagstaff, AZ, police department to handle a member of the unhoused community.

Here’s to 100 more.

The gentlemen meet at Fire on the Mountain south to discuss a wide array of topics, but the most notable is the WNBA, which happens at the end of the podcast. Please stay for it.

Returning to Bartaco in the highlands, the men discuss the nexus of ASMR and adult content. Also: retiring Jer from the podcast, investment strategies, and the weirdest things we do.

The guys discuss their worst moments at strip clubs. There’s more, but that’s most of it.

Jer gets pulled into an adult khaki meeting, so Deric and Sam sit down and grumble about him and also try to get to the bottom of a timeless topic: what makes weird people weird?

The guys eat tacos and talk shady sales techniques, ornery contractors, the ideal body type for playoff basketball, and why Sam’s tacos are taking so long.

How many wings is too many? How would you react if your fellow diner ordered 18 wings for himself? What is the proper way to discuss Iowa’s Caitlin Clark? Can comedians be rich and famous AND funny? These and other questions are discussed on this quarter’s episode of Lunch with Jer.
