Back Pocket - A Podcast by Jake and Dylan

Today is not a day for mourning, for long faces, for tears. No. Today is a day to celebrate a life that ended, a light that no longer shines for all to see with their eyes, but rather one that lives on in your memories. This is the end of Back Pocket, and the beginning of something more. No longer is it bound to our physical plane by its corporeal form. Now it may spend its days in the great beyond, wherever that may be. So when you look back upon these episodes, reminiscing to a time when every Tuesday you had something to look forward to, a shimmer of hope in an otherwise dreary landscape, fret not. For it will always be with you, watching, waiting. Waiting for a time when it can creep back from amongst the shadows and take back the land that was owed to it since birth. A new world shall rise from the ashes, one where every pocket is your back pocket. Where everyday is Tuesday. But until that day, you must be strong. Not only for me, but for your mother, and the little ones. They need you now more than ever. I must leave you now, for I hear them approaching. I never did much in my life that I can be proud of, not until you came into this world. I can leave you now, knowing that you will carry on. Carry on our name, our legacy. So go forth into the world without fear, without shame, but rather with pride. For you are the child the prophecy foretold, the one to lead us back into the light and towards peace. Until that day comes, know that I love you, now and always. Didn't know where that was going when I started writing it, not bad. Bit of a fever dream though. Thank you to everyone who has listened to these past 80 episodes, you helped make this show what it was. Until next time, keep on keepin' on. -Love Jake and Dylan --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/back-pocket/support

Well folks, this is almost it, the second to last episode we will be releasing on Back Pocket, and boy do we not hold back!

Howdy y'all. This week we check in with how the Euro-trip is going so far, all the way from Amsterdam. Tommy and Jake explore all the city has to offer, Dylan goes on hot boy walks with his sultry stache, you really don't want to miss this one. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/back-pocket/support

Don't you hate it when people trying to help you actually end up messing up your life? Messing it up so hard that you're probably just gonna cancel the rest of the month long trip that you're on? Absolutely ruining your life in ways that not only can't be fixed, but are hard to even fathom how someone could do such a revolting, gut-wrenching, awful act. One that will surely go down in the annals of human history as one of the worst things a human has ever done to another human? That's not exactly what happened to Jake in Barcelona but it's pretty damn close. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/back-pocket/support

We're back with a little update from the Summer 2023 Euro Trip, and boy are there things to update. Everything from terrible roommates to near death experiences, Jake and Darren saw it all.

Imagine celebrating the 4th of July in the United States. Could NOT be Jake. He will be somewhere in Europe eating 4-5 sausages and enjoying a nice chocolate cigarette for dessert.

This week we have huge news. I don't want to spoil it but I think you'll be able to piece it together. Fine we'll tell you. Dylan is no longer a lone wolf, he has found his...girl wolf?

First ever dueling candle lit convo in this podcast's history. Many are aware that a singular candle typically gets lit during recording, but TWO whole candles?!? Let's be honest; that is probably a fire hazard. Nonetheless, we run a tight ship this week. Exactly 60 minutes on the dot while discussing topics as interesting as colds, coffee shops, guac at Chipotle, night club hierarchy, going viral, 2in1 hair products, and much more. Cool.
