Strip Talking

Geoff, Mike, and Jay

Hosts Geoff, Mike and Jay engage in discussions about the vibrant chaos of Las Vegas, the art of milking credit card points, the rollercoaster ride of theme parks, and a large helping of food talk. Amidst all this, they somehow manage to circle back to their beloved home state of Nebraska, and then transition into a mishmash of travel anecdotes. Prepare for unexpected detours into the realms of pop culture, sport and whatever happens to be annoying Mike on any given day. And don't forget Strip Walking (StripWalking.com), their website dedicated to customized video walking tours of Vegas, Disneyland, Universal Orlando, and an ever-expanding list of other locations.

Points to Ponder turns into a battlefield when Jay starts keeping score, leading to a raucous debate about the best medical show, the most charming Kansas town, and which knockoff brand will reign supreme.

Meanwhile, a customer trying to snag a stylish Strip Walking T-Shirt is thrown for a loop by a delivery notification from Michael Jordan, sparking a Gen Z tale about MJ that includes the dubious demise of his dad. Everyone’s in agreement that Chickie's & Pete's crab fries are so amazing they deserve a spot in the Strip Talking Podcast Food Hall of Fame! And then there’s Geoff, who’s totally zen about peeing in the shower, convinced that women do it too, and he’s not even bothered by standing in the piss! And if you ask these guys, any steak cooked beyond "medium" is practically a crime against meat! Geoff offends Jay and Mike again by never having watched "The Office". https://stripwalking.com/post/podcast/e-21-buttered-pop-tarts-and-piss 0:00 Cheesy Intro Music 2:25 Earl of Sandwich Bread follow up 3:52 Chicago Johnnys sells and ships Turano Bread 5:25 Gatorgum on Ebay 6:18 Jay eats Pop-Tarts again - first time in more than 20 years 8:31 Pop-Tarts Bowl 11:20 Frozen Pop-Tarts 12:06 Ways to eat Pop-Tarts 13:15 Buttering your Pop-Tarts 22:10 Untoasted Pop-Tarts 23:52 All the flavors of Pop-Tarts 28:00 A Strip Walking Shirt shipping issue 33:00 Gen Z Story time - Michael Jordan 39:31 The suspicious death of Jordan's father 49:34 Chickie's and Pete's crab fries goes into the Strip Talking Podcast Food Hall of Fame 55:42 Points to Ponder 56:37 Do you pee in the shower?

    Geoff, Mike, and Jay are celebrating their 20th episode! They dive into Mike's unforgettable Long John Silver's drive-through adventure, Jay's epic mission to score some Earl of Sandwich bread, and that time Mike gave his wife a tire rebate for their anniversary—because nothing says "I love you" like discount tires! And let's not forget Jay's thrilling horse racing win that may have ended in glue - for the horse. They hilariously reminisce about Jay ditching his daughter's orchestra concert to serve up some pickleball magic, plus Gambler Trey and Jay bonding over their mutual disdain for Carolina BBQ—now that’s real friendship! And who could miss Juli's complete inability to snag any positive points in a Points to Ponder contest (called "rapid fire questions" at the time)? But the real question remains: can anything possibly top Geoff's iconic no-cheese Whopper clip for the title of best moment of 2024? The guys also delve into the secret art of unleashing "Sassy Jay mode" and have a hearty laugh over Jay's line about putting cheese on a 2x4! https://stripwalking.com/post/podcast/e-20-just-the-clips 0:00 Cheesy Intro Music 1:30 NFL Talk 1:47 Carson Wentz sucks 4:50 Strip Talking's 20th Episode 6:10 Listen to Strip Talking episodes over and over 6:37 Clip from Episode 14 - Mike gives his wife a tire rebate for their anniversary 11:24 Clip from Episode 19 - Earl of Sandwich bread quest 23:22 Clip from Episode 4 - Jay's miraculous horse betting story 28:12 Brilliant idea to improve Sigma derby 28:56 Clip from Episode 18 - Gambler Trey "roasts" KC BBQ 34:30 Memphis in May 35:27 Clip from Episode 1 - The Before Jay (BJ) Times - Mike's Pay it Forward Situation at Long John Silvers 43:02 The Strip Talking Lost Episode 43:43 Clip from Episode 6 - Jay's Pickleball Pickle 49:20 Clip from Episode 7 - Juli loses to Mike & Jay in a Points to Ponder competition 1:04:11 Sassy Jay Mode 1:05:12 Clip from Episode 6 - Geoff does not want cheese on his Whopper 1:10:22 The guys pick a winner for best Strip Talking clip of 2024

Meanwhile, Jay is living his best life, reliving his Hawaiian themed Thanksgiving and reminiscing about his past themes.

Geoff adds Sticky Toffee Pudding from Hell's Kitchen Las Vegas to the Strip Talking Podcast Food Hall of Fame. Gen-Z story time gets nostalgic over the clicking and clacking of Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Mike’s also rocking a new YouTube channel called Recliner Riffs where he strums his guitar while sitting down... because he is old! And finally, the guys engage in a debate over the best Gatorade flavor, the ultimate Christmas movie, and the most iconic Christmas song, proving that the only things more complicated than their opinions are their holiday plans. https://stripwalking.com/post/podcast/e-19-dutch-oven-hero-through-the-fire-and-buns 0:00 Cheesy Intro Music 1:35 Mike is upset about Amazon's faux guaranteed delivery 4:28 Mike working at Pizza Hut delivery in the 1990s with no google maps 8:10 Geoff keeps losing his small package(s) 9:27 Jay's Hawaiian themed Thanksgiving 11:30 Listing Jay's previous Thanksgiving themes 12:58 The Hawaiian Thanksgiving menu 18:03 Geoff's makes Thanksgiving dinner (except the turkey).

    The guys are joined by Gambler Trey, who spills the beans about his wild Vegas escapades, from hitting up Zorkfest to snagging a video poker Royal Flush like it's no big deal, and, of course, his thrilling “hand pay hunting” adventures. He even shares his craps betting strategy and recounts indulging in some octopus delicacies with Keren from the 360 Vegas Podcast. Mike stumbles upon a mysterious bra in his hotel room and gets a bit “salty” about the Wyndham to Caesars diamond credit card status match fleeing faster than his last bets. Mike is very disappointed as Jay does the unthinkable and chooses a Hawaiian Luau theme over Mike's absolutely brilliant idea of a Long John Silvers Thanksgiving. Things take a turn for the ludicrous when Trey and Jay dive into a BBQ turf war, only to hilariously roast Geoff for his shocking Whopper cheese aversion! https://stripwalking.com/post/podcast/e-18-trey-way-bbq-battle 0:00 Cheesy Intro Music 2:22 Geoff trash talks Keren from 360 Vegas Podcast 3:17 Mike finds a bra in a hotel room 6:40 How Gambler Trey got into gambling - getting cussed out by a grandma in a poker room 12:30 Trey's craps strategy 15:34 Trey's favorite casino 18:29 Stupid Bet 19:15 Zorkfest 25:25 Trey eats octopus with 360 Vegas Keren at Sinatra's 29:27 Caesars status match with Wyndham credit card going away - Mike to lose diamond status 33:45 Trey goes hand pay hunting after first getting video poker Royal Flush 42:28 Tracking your gambling 45:49 Jay chooses Hawaiian Luau theme for Thanksgiving instead of Long John Silvers theme 47:36 Revisiting Geoff's opinion that cheese doesn't belong on a Whopper 51:50 Memphis VS Kansas City VS Carolina BBQ 56:13 Mike lowers the maturity level of the podcast to 12 year old level 1:02:11 Geoff insults Trey
