In today’s episode of the Pickle & Boot Shop, Reese reflects on the realities of co-parenting and navigating teenage emotions, drawing from recent family challenges and a personal story of past anger that reshaped his approach to relationships. Joe shares highlights from his anniversary trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula and his renewed love for his state. The conversation turns deep to cycles of frustration, strategies for guiding kids through emotional expression and boundaries, and the role of self-awareness in breaking harmful patterns. We hope you like this one and maybe get something from it!

Yo, episode one-eighty-four, we back in the zone,
Joe and Reese, faded stars, whinin’ on the phone.
Talkin’ pickles, boots, gigs, they diss with a grin,
Tyler Childers, Elvis C, pitchy, can’t win.
Hare Krishnas droppin’ chants, these fools just smirk,
Stage sound’s trash, man, they vibe don’t work.
Joe’s got a roofin’ tale, too raw for the mic,
Propofol gum dreams, yeah, they trippin’ on spite.
Sarcasm drippin’, they flop, feelin’ low,
Two has-beens spittin’ in this sad-ass show.
Hope ya hate it, fo’ shizzle, this mess ain’t tight,
Tune in, diss our vibe, we’re done for the night.

Strap in for Episode 183, where Joe and Reese stumble through technical gremlins like they're broadcasting from a haunted Radio Shack. The duo dives deep into the glamorous world of cat litter, with Joe scooping enough clumps to rival a kitty crime syndicate and Reese ready to launch his deck-defiling felines into orbit. They toss in wild tangents about swanky podcast swag bags stuffed with iPhones and rollerblades, plus a bizarre nod to hot dog-whiskey concoctions that nobody asked for. It's a gloriously unhinged mess, and we hope you hate it.

Episode 182 is basically a free community college biology class, only with more musket balls, jalapeño “meat donuts,” and crunchy socks. Joe and Reese debate whether Civil War gunfire can make babies, explain why shark eggs look like pure hatred, and identify the exact thigh-to-butt zone where human pheromones thrive. Along the way, Joe’s wrist injury forces him into full G.I. Joe mode while Reese dreams up a scholarship that’s worth less than the giant check it’s printed on. It’s science, stupidity, and snack food all rolled into one. We hope you hate it.

In episode 181 of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop, Reese and Joe dive into their usual chaotic mix of grumpy rants along with a wild tale of a cat named Ugly Betty nearly hanging herself in a catio catastrophe. Joe shares his glamping adventure where a spider monkey in jeans and a hoodie steals the show, leaving everyone in awe. Reese geeks out over his Costco-fueled TV obsession and a teleprompting frenzy for his band, while teasing a mysterious concussion story saved for our Patronizers. We hope you hate it!

After a multi-week hiatus, episode 180 of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop sees Joe and Reese storming back to recount the wild 1998 gig where Reese’s band, Five Iron Frenzy, played at Acquire the Fire, a spectacle so culty it snagged a mention in the Netflix special Shiny Happy People. They pocketed a "princely" $12,000 (split eight ways) to perform, spitting water and railing about Christians killing Indians while rocking a Weezer t-shirt turned inside out to dodge the event’s anti-secular dress code. It's nice to finally be back in the Pickle & Boot Shop. We hope you hate it.

In today’s bonus episode of Joe & Reese’s Pickle and Boot Shop, Joe shares his deep love for Jaws, only to declare the original novel a steamy pile of shark chum featuring affairs, mafia real estate schemes, and a plush-looking shark on the cover. Meanwhile, Reese returns from Detroit with tales of sketchy merch inspections, beef-heart chili, and peeing in a bathroom so terrifying it deserves its own horror film. The two compare coney dogs, Detroit-style pizza, and emotional breakdowns in the Motown Museum lobby. Also, Joe almost poops his pants—twice. We hope you hate it.

We hope you hate it.

Buckle up for Episode 178 of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop Podcast, where Joe sips a "nano-brewery" Coors Light, with it’s chocolatey notes and dreams of being a craft beer, while Reese confesses he’s never tasted booze or seen a concert, probably because he’s too busy not seeing colors. The duo dives into a gut-busting tangent about rubbing kitten buttholes and quadriplegic colons for science, because apparently that’s a thing, and Joe’s wife Heidi texts in to remind them they’re idiots. Joe recounts the sweaty chaos of Royal Oak’s Taco Fest, where a wrestler named Turd Ferguson paints his white spandex with a brown masterpiece mid-match, and a guy with nephrostomy tubes taped to his legs crashes cars like it’s his last day on Earth. From taco trucks to guac disasters, this episode is a steaming pile of absurdity, topped with a raucous roll-call of listener names that’s as unhinged as the rest of the show. We hope you hate it.
