We’re Back

Happy Easter, loyal listeners. After 5 months of scheduling conflicts, vaccine-misinformation-related squabbles, and lawsuits, we have made our glorious return. We discuss the Broncos obtaining another quarterback they did not earn, Deric and Sam’s booze-fueled dinner, and Jer’s prestigious award, among other things. You’re going to want to listen.

Hollywood, Bitches

DAN steps in for Sam & Jer! Deric and LWJ’s main pinch hitter travel to the City of Angels and squeeze in a podcast between stuffing their faces with chicken sandwiches. They discuss things you used to enjoy when you were a kid that you still enjoy, fake best man speeches, and staying in hotels with strangers.

This podcast took place on Nov 13, 2021. LWJ’s webmaster/idiot forgot to post it because he was drinking. Better late than never!

Coffee With Jer

Deric and Jer take a road trip to Berkeley, CA, and do a podcast over coffee. Beyond that, I (Sam) have no idea what they talk about. I’m on maternity leave and completely checked out. Honestly, I’m posting this four or five days after they recorded it because I completely forgot. The guys are probably mad, but to their credit, they haven’t bitched.

Like, what is this featured image? Some Florida State a-hole? It’s a picture Deric texted to me without explanation, and I’m assuming he wanted to use it for the post. Otherwise, I’m a bit confused and slightly ashamed. The photo is watermarked, for God’s sake. Real professional operation we have going on here. And what does it have to do with anything? Is the whole podcast about pirated football images?

They probably talk about college football, some guy Deric got mad at while driving, and dick stuff. Anyway, listen to find out. I will eventually.

Parent of the Year

To start the episode, Deric inadvertently (or so he says) introduces his 12-year-old son to pornography. Luckily, this podcast doesn’t have the reach to alert child protective services.

The rest of the show predictably struggles without Sam (he’s writing this). My god, these two with the masks and the vaccines…it’s getting a bit obsessive. You can practically hear the fear through the microphones. Sad.

Jer goes on to argue that it’s everyone’s duty to get the vaccine, and also that the vaccine doesn’t really work. You figure that one out.

They also discuss Olympic controversies and some other shit. Also Doug weighs in! Highlight of the show.

An Evening in Golden

Jeremy is again absent for this podcast (second time in three episodes, for those keeping track. We’re not keeping track or anything, but maybe you are). So Sam and Deric do “dinner without Jer” on a Saturday night in Golden, Colorado, as they wait to enter the Adam Carolla standup show. They make many new friends, some of whom briefly join the podcast. They’re auditioning new members, basically. And considering new show names. Hit us up if you have any!

Sam Outs Himself As QAnon

In this episode of the Lunch With Jer Podcast, Sam inadvertently outs himself as a member of a far-right fringe group. Well…not exactly. But kind of. Let’s just say that 35 seconds into the podcast, there’s a revelation so shocking that we spend most of the episode trying to come to terms with it. Jer has a hard time hiding his disgust. Deric switches political parties and shares a stereotyping incident. All in all, a great time.

We’ve Nearly Survived the Pandemic

Right? Almost? Or like, we’re halfway there at least? Allow us to discuss.

Everyone’s busy, but we also find time to engage in a little locker room talk, and try to figure out why some backup quarterbacks play a lot better than others. There’s a chance Joe Biden is mentioned. Remember that guy?

Coming to you once again from Fire on the Mountain.

The Triumphant Return

Finally, we emerge from full-blown quarantine (none of us have gone anywhere, at all) and return to the same restaurant we last visited on March 11: Fire on the Mountain, south-side. It’s good to sit down and eat wings again.

We discuss the state of the world, lay out the exact plan on how to fix everything, and weigh in on a particularly pornographic Zoom hack. Plus, Deric’s kids join briefly and Jer’s recording again cuts out for a good five minutes. Consistency is the spice of life.
