The Jedediaries

Family feuds and family reunions, birthdays of patriarchs and matriarchs, jokes, jingles, old tapes and oldest cats, miraculous falling shelves, amazing false sneezes… all this and more, this week on the only podcast with both a 102-year-old man talking about time and a 4-year old boy singing about heinies.

Torrey’s back! :D And Jedediah’s sick. D: So put your underwear on under your boxers, grab a Walkwich, stuff some baguettes down your pants, return (or don’t) your library book, and accuse your Uncle George of knowingly buying you computer games that you already had so he could play them himself even though that’s ridiculous.

Torrey’s on vacation, so Matt steps into his pants and co-hosts this week. Jedediah & Matt talk the films of 1993, while Little Jed makes some head puppets and complaints about his summer of suck.

Recognition, generosity, and an evolution so unexpected it rocks Jedediah to his core.

Sometimes you fall in love at 12, sometimes you fall in love at 46. Sometimes someone likes you and you don’t like that, sometimes you don’t like that someone you like likes someone you don’t like. And some things… never change. Notable events this week: the Great Midwest Floods of 1993, getting a Zillions (Consumer Reports for Kids), and seeing Jurassic Park again. In the present day, Torrey feels that powerful and valuable feeling guilt, and Jedediah calls his step-mother and Jeff. #whoisBarb?

What’s your MacGuffin? We start the week with filthy idioms involving pants and complicated insults involving pets. Little Torrey learns the limits of sarcasm. Little Jed skips and swims. Then: the demise of AJ’s World, the desire for time travel powers, and lots of self reflection. A lot of apologies. And TWO sexy movies.

It's Torrey's birthday week! In the present, Jedediah & Torrey discuss mortality, depression, Ozymandias, Oprah, and journaling by way of Gchat. But back in 1993 it was rollerblading (disappointing), presents (for which insufficient gratitude was shown), pizza (pepperoni), and staying up all night (until 6 AM). And fireworks (for America's birthday).

This week features a clip from this month's episode of Lily Sloane's podcast “A Therapist Walks Into a Bar” featuring Jed! Go and give it a listen once you're done here. It's a wonderful thing.

Did YOU solve the riddle of the Green Glass Doors? Jedediah & Torrey explain the answer once they get through contemplating the mystery of the alphabet. ALSO: WOW: WE’RE HALFWAY THOUGH THE DIARY and halfway through 2018. Remarkable. Once the boys get through a slow week in 1993 (video games, Bodie, TKD, you know the drill), they reflect and reminisce on what doing The Jedediaries has meant to them. Jed’s mom, dad, brother, friend Matt, and 6th grade teacher also share their thoughts. And finally: a patriotic retrospective of greatest hits.

After sweating and complaining about the heat for a bit, Jedediah & Torrey get into the diary where, this week, Little Jed is at CIRCUS CAMP. Torrey wasn’t there, so details are scant, but Jedediah does manage to pull some memories up from the depths: David Copperfield, Vinne & Phil, clowning, and the wonderful dreams & disappointing reality of flight. And finally… can YOU solve the riddle of the Green Glass Doors?? If so, call the tipline: 802-851-9578.

Whether it’s your teeth, your chest hair, or your inexplicable swanitude, what seems like a deficiency can end up being your biggest strength. Seems we’re all Ugly Ducklings, in the end. But back in 1993, the boys graduate from 6th grade, get some awards, go to the beach, watch the news, and see a movie about dinosaurs. Jedediah’s Mom talks about Alabama, Jedediah’s Dad talks about fatherhood, and Torrey’s Mom talks about his awards.
