The hosts then take a serious turn to address Contemporary Christian Music’s (CCM) “worst-kept secret” regarding Michael Tait, including his admission of drug and alcohol struggles, homosexuality, and claims of unwanted touching. It’s a candid discussion on the allegations against Michael Tait and the dark side of CCM. If you or someone you know has experienced se...

In episode 168, Joe — one half of your favorite 90’s Christian ska survivors — makes a solo journey to Toledo, while Reese heckles safely from the comfort of home. Joe spends $32 on valet parking, wanders through abandoned malls, and eats a chili dog so depressing it should come with a counseling session. Reese pulls up Google Maps to confirm the river looks like a septic tank with a Yelp page. It's a full hour of broken dreams, bad hot dogs, and ska veterans wondering why they ever leave the ho...

This week, Joe and Reese kick things off with a deep theological dive into rectal exams, dry rubs, and whether Jesus prefers BBQ sauce. Joe bravely tells the tale of Grim's final vet visit—a moving story somehow filled with jokes about trash cans, and mistaken pet identities. Reese nerds out over regional dialects and pronounces “Shenandoah” like he’s got a PhD in Iroquois Linguistics. There’s also treasure talk, conspiracy ciphers, and the age-old question: do dogs have souls, or are they just ...

n today’s episode, Reese kicks things off with his epic tale of downing six plates of seafood at Captain George’s in Myrtle Beach, only to christen a "poop corner" in his hotel room as the aftermath hits. Joe laments how coffee no longer "slaps cheeks" and Reese defends his Adderall-and-coffee lifestyle against those black coffee purists he can’t quite vibe with. On a tougher note, Joe opens up about his beloved bulldog Grim and shares the details of their last full day together. Let's lift a gl...

In episode 164 of Joe & Reese's Pickle & Boot Shop, Joe and Reese concoct a Predator sitcom where Larry trades trophy hunting for nagging wives and spoiled melons, then rave about Adolescence—a Netflix gem so intense you’ll need Seinfeld as a chaser to avoid nightmares. They weep for the lost glory of malls, spar over monopolies like Amazon’s evil empire, and demand AI judges to slap sliding-scale fines on everyone from CEOs to Little Caesars moms. Reese ditches his beard while Joe’s spr...

In today’s episode, Joe is mysteriously absent (probably wrestling raccoons or fighting off another made-up ailment), so Reese ropes in his charming, far-too-good-for-him girlfriend Kara to co-host. What follows is their awkward origin story, including lies about age, a suspicious wedding ring, lactose intolerance, and a first date so romantic it involved blistered shishito peppers and a prolonged fart. Listen in for laughs, mild concern, and a reminder that love really is blind (and possibly ha...
