Ramble by the River

Jacob Moore loves to make things. As the founder and lead craftsman at Jacob's Hammer and assistant distiller at Adrift Distillers in Long Beach, Washington, you can always find him deep in the process of creation. He makes booze, sour kraut, and opportunities. He views life as an adventure to be sipped-and-savored. Listen-in as he and Jeff talk homemade fermented foods, surfing, and natural resources. We cover the fungi that lives beneath our feet, the bacteria that lives in our gut, and the passion that lives in our hearts (not to mention the mold in our lungs). Jeff vents about his hatred of people who illegally dump trash in the woods, and even teaches Jake his favorite beach game to play with the kids: Who can find the first used needle?

This is a really fun conversation and I hope you enjoy!

Too Excited, Mica Emery.

In this special Mother's Day episode, Melissa Nesbitt drops in to discuss her life as a working mother in 2021 and some of the challenges that had to be overcome before she could achieve her goals. With wit and humor, she recounts having to relearn how to walk following a traumatic injury, her struggle to earn a Master's degree while pregnant, and how she eventually met the love of her life... me.

If you have a mother, or know someone who does, this podcast is for you. You'll hear about the different types of moms (tiger moms, tattoo-druggy moms, helicopter moms, etc...), why we love them, and what kinds of challenges our mothers are facing in the world today.

Melissa explains how she answers some of the most challenging questions in her life. How to prioritize self-care? Should we vaccinate our kids for Covid-19? Should we let the kids have social media? How do you balance responsibilities of a mom with those of a wife? How to cope when your husband is so handsome and successful that we can't go in public without being mobbed by hordes of beautiful, horny women? Get the answers to the questions and so many more!

There's never been a better excuse to saddle up next to your mom and enjoy two hours of unfiltered conversation about our favorite ladies: moms.

Lindy Swain is one of four owners of the beloved Long Beach institution Dylan's Cottage Bakery. She and her husband Mark teamed up with Jeff and Casey Harrell to buy the bakery last year when the former owners decided to close in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. They made a few changes and updates to the business, and the results have been phenomenal! It became Dylan's Cottage Bakery in honor of Dylan Jude Harrell, Lindy's niece, who passed away in 2020 from a rare brain cancer called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Lindy recounts the sometimes painful memories of her first few years living on the Long Beach peninsula, and speaks on the importance of strong community and family bonds. We talk about potty training, mushrooms, the afterlife, and how much we love Costco, and much more! Lindy was a pleasure to have in the studio and I really admire her courage for talking about something so sensitive and personal.

Please enjoy!

Earth, Lil Dicky.

Matt Lessnau is the man behind Adrift Distillers' beloved line of small-batch spirits. On this episode of Ramble by the River, he drops some serious booze knowledge and we get a peak behind the curtain at the hottest artisanal spirits producer on the coastal scene. Matt walks Jeff through a sampler tasting of a few of this year's popular spirits, and we find out why it is crucial to let gin sit awhile, like a fine beef stew.

The guys talk about the history of distilling alcohol, cannabis being weaponized to oppress people of color, The failure/success of the D.A.R.E campaign, and how to find the best wild mushrooms, and much more. He was an absolute pleasure to have in the studio and I learned a lot. I hope you enjoy!

It seemed like Cooper Belisle had everything going for him. A glance at his Facebook might arouse envy in the viewer as the pages are littered with colorful pictures of blue skies and the many wonders of the world. His commercial diving career allowed him to explore amazing places all over the planet, covering every State and countless countries across the globe. Whether he was underwater in the States, or across the pond, drinking beer with fellow travelers at a hostel, Cooper was living for the day and everything looked picture-perfect.

But all of that came to a crashing halt when, at age 26, to the befuddlement of his doctors, he was diagnosed with Cancer. When he left the doctor's office that day to return to his empty hotel room, where he couldn't even masturbate (sore from cancer), he knew 3 things for sure: he had advanced-stage testicular cancer, it was likely that it had already spread to his lymph nodes and/or lungs, and it was time to make a few changes...

In this episode, Cooper tells his story with honesty, humor, conviction, and profound insight into the human condition. We get into some juicy territory as he discusses his cancer diagnosis, relationships, childhood hardships, and substance abuse, but the conversation maintains a positive and fun vibe. It is obvious that Cooper tries to see life for what it is; accept the bad with the good, and focus on positive growth. He has managed to cultivate an attitude of appreciation and revelry for life, despite being faced with an onslaught of challenges that would break most people. This kid is a gem. I love him like a brother. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

Blake Kukula is a 3-time Washington State Champion in Boy's golf, is currently an NCAA Division one athlete for the Seattle University, and has his sights set on the PGA Tour. In addition to his golf credentials, he is a musician, a deep thinker, a hard-worker, and a really nice guy. In fact, he is so nice that he couldn't say no when I asked if he wanted to receive some mild electrical shocks during our conversation. Don't miss this one!

You'll get a peek inside Blake's head and you'll see what it really takes to achieve greatness in a chosen field. Blake exemplifies commitment to a goal. Every choice he makes is in reference to how it will affect his goals. He doesn't take life lightly and recognizes the importance of choosing to invest time and energy today for a pay-off tomorrow. I love talking to people who take-on the challenge of optimizing their potential, and Blake certainly falls into that category. This is a great conversation and I hope you enjoy!

Kolby Kirby is one of the funniest people I have ever met. He never fails to make me laugh and this podcast is a really great snapshot of his personality. You get a taste of his humor, with a dash of humility, and a twist of homeless-living in a hammock on the beach in Hawaii while learning to make sushi. It's great.

We talk about many things, but most of the show revolves around the subject of finding joy in creative pursuits. We also talk about God, life, death, drugs, sex, music, and brainwashing, and so many other popular topics on Ramble by the River.

Mario Rodriguez stops-by to talk about his struggle to stay in the United States after being arrested for overstaying his welcome. His story is shocking and really frames the immigration debate in personal terms. No matter what political opinions you hold, Mario's story will leave you speechless. I have never met someone who has experienced such awful treatment and still maintains the same good-hearted and hopeful outlook on life and more amazingly, on life in this country. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

Mario is one of us. He is our brother and he is being ripped from his home and the life that he has built here. It is not fair. I don't have the answers. But I do know that we are about to lose someone who adds immeasurable value to the community.

He is not a murder, a rapist, or a bad hombre..

El es un buen hombre y el es mi amigo. Espero que disfruten del espectáculo!

Educator-extraordinaire turned climate activist Martha Williams drops by to talk about Mother Earth and what we can do to keep her healthy. Martha has a Master's degree from USC, has worked in education for nearly half a century, and she has personally taken tips on how to help the planet... from Al Gore! We meander through many topics but most revolve around climate change and why it is such a hard problem to understand. She has great stories and was a pleasure to interview. I hope you enjoy!

Alex Mack stops by the crabshed to sit down with Jeff and discuss life as rural millennial in 2021. The guys cover romance, local gossip, podcasting, aliens, and Alex does free advertising for several of his favorite local businesses. This one puts you right there in the room and as a listener you get to know a side of Mr. Mack that most people have never seen. Settle in because once he gets going, there is no stopping him.

I hope you enjoy this conversation with one of my favorite guys in the world, and the person who originally taught me how to produce creative digital media, Alexander Mack.
