Wake & Jake

The whole house is sick and congested...so this episode is probably full of gross noises. Jake tries to keep the talking to a minimum, but ends up discussing the exciting journey that is taking a cat to the vet.

Music recommendations are In C by Terry Riley, Einstein on the Beach by Philip Glass, and Pink Moon by Nick Drake.

Christmas movies are still stuck in Jake's brain, especially the one he saw at a midnight screening recently. So of course he attempts to prove why it's the greatest Christmas movie.

Music recommendations are Red by King Crimson, and Pleased to Meet Me by The Replacements.

It's New Years Eve! Two holiday episodes in a row must be a world record. Jake flies solo without his dog producer today and sweats it out in his new polar bear pajamas. He confesses to falling asleep during The Raven, and brags about how great he and his fiancée are at playing the new Super Smash Bros.

Music recommendation today is “Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating in Space” by Spiritualized.

It's Christmas Eve! Jake smells the mashed potatoes you're cooking up, talks about his new favorite Vincent Price film, and continues to get disapproving looks from Dalton and McBain.

Welcome to the first episode of Wake & Jake, your new Monday morning ritual. Every Monday, Jake Fisher improvises some calm and inspirational music to get your week started right. This week, Jake attempts to have a conversation with his cat, and channels his inner Kate Bush.

Jake is in Sacramento for a wedding, and is joined on this episode by his good friend Evan. Jake and Evan discuss The Matrix, reality as a simulation, Mukbang, and ASMR. Yeah, it get's a little weird.

Music suggestions are “The Gilded Palace of Sin” by The Flying Burrito Brothers, “Platinum Rats” by The Briefs, and “Power Chords” by Mike Krol.

Jake has a dream where he wins a ton of money and doesn't get it. Pies turn into sculptures and an old man takes care of the skin on the bottom of his feet. This description sounds like a weird hallucination. But it's just a dream...just a dream...

Music suggestions are “Gris-Gris” by Dr John, and “Propellers in Love” by Arnold Dreyblatt.

Jake is sick so he tries to keep his composure between coughs and sniffles. He talks about what his wedding was actually like, bad reactions to fatty egg sauces, and does his best Michael McDonald impression. Music suggestion is “Aja” by Steely Dan.

It's a weekend that's full of amazing stuff. Jake's mom has her birthday, and Jake & Kate get married. But Jake recorded this episode before the actual wedding, so everything he says is complete speculation.

Music suggestions are “Full Upon Her Burning Lips” by Earth, and “Open Your Eyes” by Earth, Wind & Fire.

Pork pork pork. It's all that matters in the world now. There is nothing else but pork. Well, there's at least nothing else but pork in Jake's freezer. Jake drops some pro cooking tips while talking about how excited he is to cook the other white meat for the next few months.
