Trestle Collective Productions

We probably could have prepared a little more for this episode, but the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement clearly threw us for a loop. Anyway, college football is back, and so are Joe and Johnathan so they can lend their non-expertise to the mix.

It's the holiday season, and Joe's got some thoughts on flag planting at rivalry games and Johnathan ponders what truly makes a Christmas movie.

Listener, we missed last week. And now this week, Jmac has a cold, Joe's got some travel and we're doing this chaotic exercise via Zoom. It could have been worse, but we did manage to talk about Red Lobster, Marlon Brando and the insanity that is the 12-team college football playoff.

Have you ever seen the 1980s movie "Space Camp" and, y'all, more than that, have you ever wondered how realistic it is? Because it's really not, yet that doesn't deter Joe and Jmac from spending way too much time talking about it, as well as other fanciful space-based films. And football. Some football too.

It's Halloween, y'all, which makes it all the more reason for Joe and Jmac to dive into the 10-year anniversary of the truly weird, truly spectacular Adult Swim short "Too Many Cooks" in this week's episode. Also, there's a little football game on Saturday in Jacksonville, Fl, and neither of them feel confident.

Listener, let's talk about music played by bands you've never heard of from porches, Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas opening weekend and the ABC TGIF lineup ... because, you know, that's what we do.

Joe has definitive opinions on when Christmas season should start. Related, Johnathan is excited for Hallmark's Countdown To Christmas starting on Friday, and Lauren warrants a producer credit finally.

Joe celebrated a birthday recently, so let's talk about going to see Michael Bolton in concert, traveling to Biloxi to gamble and the importance of proper measuring cups when preparing a cake.

Do you want to talk about pear juice? Maybe professional wrestling in the 1980s? Or one of those Paul brothers fighting Mike Tyson? If so, the good news is this week's podcast finds Joe and Jmac exploring all of those topics ... oddly enough. Plus, Jmac comes to terms with Georgia's loss to Alabama.

Well, this one went a bit off the rails. We talked Richard Marx (who Joe kept confusing for Karl Marx for some reason), went a step further with a game involving rock ballads, wandered around a bit to talk about Ted's Montana Grill and then covered some college football.
