Jake and Tom Conquer the World (tv & film)

Being that they're stuck indoors and there really isn't a whole lot shaking in the world of geek culture, Jake and Tom decided that they were pretty much gonna wing it for this episode.  So they brought in their friend Roe (host of the weird, wonderful & strange podcast, "Project: Archivist") to shoot the breeze.  Listen in as the three of them have one of the funnier conversations you're gonna find in this feed, as the fellas discus the following:

• Watching talk shows & wrestling without a live audience is just awkward. 

• When you think about it, even under normal circumstances, wrestling is kinda batshit insane.

The best way to defeat Roe in a knife-fight is to first strip down naked.

Modern day ninjas are disguising themselves as shrubberies during the quarantine.

The legalities of teaching your dog to drive.

Why did God give a anti-viral laser drone to a mega-church, but not to hospitals?

and

The perfect spicy wing recipe for the macho assholes in your life.

Jake and Tom have been lucky enough to have had a chance to talk to all sorts of folks through the years.  But until now, they've never had a chance to talk to a bona fide talk show host.

That's where TC Restani comes in.

TC hosts the long-running, award winning YouTube show, "After Hours With TC Restani", in which he's sat down with actors from the big and small screen, singers, stars from the world of adult entertainment, and even an inebriated Pat Morita!

But that's not all - TC is also something of an "insider" when it comes to the stranger than real life world of professional wrestling.  Recorded mere days before the biggest event in the wrestling year, listen in as TC takes the time to share his experiences in some of the biggest and most infamous events from the last 25 years of sports entertainment!

Be sure to check out the new episodes of "After Hours With TC Restani" on YouTube.  And as always, be sure to help Jake and Tom in their quest for world domination by sharing their stuff with your friends on social media, rating them highly on Apple Podcasts, listening in on Tom's guest spots over on "Someone's Favorite Movie" (hosted by friend of the show, Randy Perkins), and by supporting all of the great shows brought to you by the guys' partners in internet radio, Geeks Worldwide!

Like literally every other person currently living on earth, Jake and Tom's lives are currently being effected by the Coronavirus.  But rather than sit around, the fellas have chosen to use the tiny platform they've built for themselves to get together and talk to their listeners about how things are shaping up so far.

So listen in as the fellas talk about Tom's experiences with social distancing, Jake's adventures as an "essential worker", when things "got real" for them, the surprisingly positive aspects of living in a world effected by this, effects that this is all having on the world of comic books and entertainment, as well as going through feedback from their friends and listeners to find out how things are shaping up on their end.

But don't let this stuff make you think anything has changed - Jake and Tom still want your help in their quest for world domination!  So they're asking for you to help out by sharing their stuff with your friends, rating them highly on Apple Podcasts, following them on social media, listening in on Tom's guest spots over on "Someone's Favorite Movie" (hosted by friend of the show, Randy Perkins), and by supporting all of the great shows brought to you by their partners in internet radio, Geeks Worldwide!

Let's face it, we all have them - The movies that we know deep down in our heart are bad, but we love them anyway.  Whether its for their nostalgic value or their campy value, we don't care what the world say & we watch them anyway.

That's where Jake and Tom's pal Randy comes in. 

You see, in addition to his big dumb comedy show, "Miserable Retail Slave", Randy is the host of a new program called "Someone's Favorite Movie".  In it, he discusses the forgotten classics, the hidden gems, and yes, the guilty pleasures that other shows tend to shy away from.

So listen in as he and the guys sit down to talk about the endurance needed to make it through the "Leprechaun" franchise, the jealousy Jake feels at not being included in this endeavor, as well the strange career of Adam Sandler.

Listen folks...  Jake and Tom have never claimed to be "high class fellas".  Yeah, they like to think they've had thoughtful discussions on a wide range of topics, but they're not above laughing at dick n' fart stories.  That's where their old pal Roe comes in.  You see, a few years ago, Roe had to give up his annual "This Year In Fecal Matter" show.  And rather than abandon it completely, he simply passed it on to your favorite drunken dorks.

So settle in, get comfortable, and listen in as Jake, Tom, Roe and their friend Toph ask themselves such questions as:

What kind of madman thinks making gin from elephant dung was a good idea?

What were the logistics of Toronto's infamous "Poop Bandit"?

Why does Jake have to heed the call of nature every time his wife drags him along for a shopping trip?

What kind of diet does one need to have to make their poo flammable?

And

If a man is trying to cross Antarctica by himself, why the hell wouldn't he pack a change of underwear?

All of this, and so much more in this edition of "This Year In Fecal Matter".

Be sure to check out Roe on his show "Project: Archivist" & Toph over on "Gravity Beard".  And, as always, be sure to help Jake and Tom in their quest for world domination by rating them highly on Apple Podcasts, sharing their stuff with your friends, following them on Twitter, and by joining in on the conversation over on their Facebook page, "Jake and Tom Conquer the Group"!

Feeling contemplative (and more than a little inebriated), Jake and Tom sit down with their old chums Matt & HAB (formerly of the dearly departed podcast "Couch Party") to look back and talk about all of the technological changes they've experienced in their lifetimes. 

What follows is a fun and often times frustrating look back at the tech of their youths, in which the guys begin to wonder whether or not old school arcade games were nothing more than a scam designed to snatch as many quarters from little kids as possible, and how the cell phone was replaced by the Bluetooth as the douchebag weapon of choice. 

Along the way, the guys ask themselves what may have been lost by acquiring this new tech.  Have we somehow managed to get dumber as a result of having all of the world's information at our fingertips?  Should we be worried about our phones "spying" on us?  And what are we gonna have to deal with when "deep fakes" become more commonplace?

Somewhere in all of this, Jake and Tom get into an argument about one region of Michigan's dialect versus another, the guys look back fondly on the skills of "bar kids", and HAB regales us with the legend of Potato-Top Thompson.

While they might not mention it as much as the other stuff they geek out to, deep down, Jake and Tom love Star Trek.  So it was with great anticipation that they sat down to watch the first three episodes of the latest entry in the franchise: Picard!

Listen in as the guys discuss whether or not it lived up to their expectations, how this show connects to other installments in the franchise, and how they think it adds to the overall "Trek Legacy".  Along the way, the fellas also discuss their thoughts on CBS All Access as a whole, and Jake discovers an ice cream combination that is pure nightmare fuel!

Jake and Tom have done a lotta different types of shows through the years.  But in all that time, they've never done one devoted almost entirely to two of their favorite subjects: Red Meat and Beer!

Tom was lucky enough to get hooked up with a sampler pack of handmade beef jerky, courtesy of the local artisans at Twizted Jerky, and so he and Jake decided to review it live and on air!  So listen in as your two favorite drunken dorks give you their thoughts on it while also sampling from Tom's collection of cellar aged beer.  Along the way, the guys discuss the series finale of "Arrow", talk about Jake's new hobby of brewing his own mead, and Tom learns the hard way that Carolina Reapers aren't for the faint of heart.

To learn more about the products available from Twizted Jerky, be sure to contact them by email at TwiztedJerky@gmail.com or simply call them up by dialing 248-237-3266.
