    Here's our guest, James Cardis, with the episode description: "I had the distinct and unqualified pleasure of joining Jaime and Brea for this recording, which happened to occur on the back patio of our house the evening of Tuesday, May 25th. It's true, this washed up old man played basketball in the park with a bunch of college kids just moments prior to joining the record, and yet I delivered an unparalleled guest appearance, not once pausing to catch my breath and down half a Gatorade. In this episode, Jaime and Brea catch up with each other about how they enjoyed the Fox Valley since their last episode, hatch plans for the summer, and talk about when (and where) they might reconvene. Some might say that I'm the straw that stirs the drink, the seasoning to this locally sourced audio stew, a ceaseless source of needless tangents and good-natured roasting. Some might say that, sure. You'll have to listen and see if you agree. Mentioned in this episode, in something approaching chronological order: The Sidecar Supper Club & Beer Garden Jake Mack Schaefer Greenhouses, Inc Branch Gardens Summer Solstice Yorkville Charlie Zine (read the Chicago Tribune article about Charlie's travels on the full length of the mighty Fox River) RiverEdge Park Fainting at Pitchfork Music Festival Madison Square Garden Restaurants circa 1989 CDC Laurelwood Park Lemongrass (the plant) Google Stale beer and blue mouthwash Cold calling your friends Longmont Potion Castle The Great Batavia Garbage Sticker Shortage of 2021 Batavia Boardwalk Shops Bocaditos Cafe WindMill Grille & Pizzeria Photo by Brea Hayes Music by yours truly 🤩 Tell us about your favorite patio in the comments, or leave us a voicemail at 630-492-0369.
