Ishikawa: Summit to Sea Joe and Casey

Episode 106: Arsey Vibes 
50% entertainment, 20% chat GPT, 10% pond water , 5% Sarah Nichol, 3% unofficial cultural miscommunication, 2% accurate mathematics, 1% robot dogs, and 0% alcohol. This week sees the almost alcohol-free lads struggle to maintain a conversation without liquid encouragement, but maintain they do. There’s all the usual sections, aided by AI, and an all-important baby update from Joe. Tales of an illicit pub visit, a foray into Beanpod territory, a flirtation with cultural insensitivity (I think we’re okay on this one though) and some earnest discussion about suit colour. Among other random topics. Oh, the remaining 10% was you, the lister/reader by the way. 

Episode 105


Flying without a net, this episode starts with no pre-written introduction! After catching up on two week’s worth of action, Joe reads a very earnest poem, and the guys answer a few listener questions. Casey then gives Joe a very well-researched quiz, and respective areas are delved. Sounds like a normal episode, but it’s nearly two hours long!

Episode 204

This week, Casey brings the low energy, and Joe brings everything else. The guys discuss Valentine's day with varying degrees of romance and Joe's most recent escapades on the ski slopes. Joe reads a haiku-laden poem, and then we answer some listener questions. Joe finally gets to talk to someone who cares about his stupid football team, then takes revenge on Casey's recent Tom Brady quiz by administering a football quiz on which Casey predictable performs poorly. Finally, it's into each other's areas, where it's all bumbling criminals and wild animals.

Welcome to Episode 103. There's lots of catching up to do this week, and the boys do just that, discussing beer, snow, babies, puking children, Joe's infiltrated ass, and computers, among other things. Then it's off to poetry corner, in which Joe musters up his most sincere (EDIT: easy for people to understand) Geordie accent and strings together a tapestry of topics. From there, Casey administers a quiz in tribute to the greatest NFL quarterback of all time: the one and only TB12. Joe fumbles his answers repeatedly, but does he manage to score enough points to win the game? Finally, in In Your Area, the BBC does Beantown, and there's carnage in Carlisle.

Episode 102: Two weeks gap is a long time, 17 days is even longer. We missed you, and we are sure you missed…well, it’s possible you noticed a show hadn’t come out for a while. This fortnight, we have some baby updates, copious sport chat, a poem about German desserts and lunchtime staples, a quiz mourning the loss of a rock icon, an IYA we didn’t find under the floorboards, and another IYA which brought up Joe’s massive feelings of guilt again. Plus there are some really odd noises. We think you’ll enjoy this one for a change. 

Episode 101: Enter the podcast of your most feared disgustances and if you dare, listen to the end where an aural hungry rat will be placed in a cage upon your ears. I’m other words, HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are back, with a slightly shorter episode than the previous one, with a just-as-short Casey and an even-fatter Joe. You can expect the usual crap, with a smidge of added poor sound quality from Joe’s end, and improved internet performance at Casey’s end, somehow. There’s a running joke of a quiz, some brief IYAs, and a lacklustre poem from Joe. Who knows when the next episode will drop? Not us. But soon. Ish.
