    Sea Fears and Home Comforts

    Sea Fears and Home Comforts

    Ever felt that shiver down your spine when you dip your toes into the abyss of the ocean? That's where we start our conversation today, riffing on the comedic gold of "Finding Nemo's" seagulls before veering into the deep end of our own phobias. The sea's vast mysteries hold both allure and terror for us, leading to a cascade of thoughts from our irrational fears of sharks (thanks, "Jaws") to the nostalgia of coastal living and the succulent seafood we crave but can't quite reach from our landlocked state.



    Our homes are our sanctuaries, and in this heart-to-heart, we peel back the layers on what makes a space comfortable and private. From beachside toplessness to the quirks of apartment living and the visions we have for our future dwellings, we bare all about our domestic domains. And what's a chat without some career contemplation? We share tales of being the overqualified underdog and the slippery slope of job market dynamics that label seasoned pros as too experienced for their own good.



    Diving behind the scenes of set life, we shine a spotlight on the collaborative dance of film production and the respect it demands. We unpack the tensions between being a technician versus a creative force and how navigating the 'dating period' with new clients can save you from future headaches. Join us as we let you in on the nitty-gritty of our professional escapades and the wisdom gleaned from these encounters, all served up with a side of candid banter.

    81 Down with the Sickness

    81 Down with the Sickness

    Welcome back, listeners! After shaking off a bout of illness, we're here again, opening up about personal transitions and the quest for a meaningful life. Jake recounts an encounter with energy work, specifically a Reiki session aimed at fostering creative manifestation.

    We also tackle the common struggle with imposter syndrome, discussing the importance of self-affirmation and the courage to trust in our abilities and vision.

    As we continue, the topic shifts to the personal symbolism found in tattoo art, and how these permanent marks can represent the chapters of our lives. We share the story behind our newest ink that captures the essence of our journey and how it intersects with my spiritual growth.

    80 Is Love Blind?

    80 Is Love Blind?

    Valentine's Day was never quite the same after our collective binge of 'Love is Blind', and it's high time we discuss the magnetic pull of trash TV that had us glued to our screens. We're taking you on a rollercoaster ride through the dizzying highs and cringe-worthy lows of reality dating shows and the awkward hilarity of watching strangers fumble through love and life.

    We couldn’t help but wonder, what would we ask if we were in the PODS? For the second half of the episode we go through our list of questions. We swap stories of mistaken identities and celebrity look-a-like encounters before pondering life's bigger questions: Would speaking all languages trump chatting with animals? Does the way we cook say more about us than we realize? Is our mental health okay?

    79 Encounters Beyond the Veil

    79 Encounters Beyond the Veil

    Our conversation takes an unexpected turn towards the mystical as Jake recounts his first-ever encounter with a medium. Engage with us over the skepticism and wonder that often accompanies the world of mediumship. Jake walks you through the process of finding and deciding to connect with a medium and the surprising emotional resonance that followed. We'll also weave through tales of past affirmations, from a childhood neighbor's unexpected insight to the proud spirit of my late grandfather, offering a moment to reflect on the enduring impact of connections that span time and the curious nature of the legacies we leave behind.

    78 A Conversation with Federico Ahumada

    78 A Conversation with Federico Ahumada

    Before the Pair of Dinks Podcast, Jake had a short run hosting his own podcast called “Blursday.” He recorded some conversations with friends during the COVID lockdowns and asked two basic questions: what are you struggling with now, and what are you doing about it?

    In this episode, we revisit Jake’s conversation with Federico, a filmmaker based in Colombia, and revisit that strange period in North and South American History.
