  Wendy and I catch up after a long hiatus from the podcast.     Intro Song: It's Been Awhile by Staind   Instagram: jake_merle Twitter: @JakeMerle Email: memorylanepod@gmail.com  

It's been a while, but now I am officially a Doctor! Well... almost... but I did pass my thesis defense, so I will be graduating with a PhD from Cornell in genetics! I talk about the defense itself and the lead up to it. Enjoy!   Instagram: jake_merle Twitter: @JakeMerle Email: memorylanepod@gmail.com

Working on my thesis but wanted to get an episode up. Here you go.

My brother is back on the cast this week after helping Wendy and I move all our shit up to Rochester. We just talk about the move and catch up after a day of moving furniture and unpacking.   Intro Song: Memory Lane by Aron   Instagram: jake_merle Twitter: @JakeMerle Email: memorylanepod@gmail.com

I was feeling overwhelmed and couldn't sleep. Enjoy.   Intro Song: Get Retarded - Canibus   Instagram: jake_merle Twitter: @JakeMerle Email: memorylanepod@gmail.com

Wendy and I sit down and review the Democratic Debates as well as all 20 candidates that are running. Also, it's political... and we're us... so we get into a couple small spats along the way. We couldn't help it (I blame Wendy). Enjoy!   Intro Song: Memory Lane by Jelly Roll   Instagram: jake_merle Twitter: @JakeMerle Email: memorylanepod@gmail.com

My brother Jon dropped in for a visit and joined Wendy and I for this weeks podcast! It's just a fun conversation and we catch up, shoot the shit, and talk about his recent trip across the country with my Dad and sister.   Intro song: It's time to take a trip down memory lane - Lee Patterson   Instagram: jake_merle Twitter: @JakeMerle Email: memorylanepod@gmail.com

This week Wendy and I catch up and honestly... I forget what we even talked about. I do remember that she had a bone to pick with me about leaving a mess in the kitchen at the beginning of the episode, that's it though.   Intro song: Memory Lane by Dean Martin Outro song: Playboy Girls by Daniel Wakeford   Instagram: jake_merle Twitter: @JakeMerle Email: memorylanepod@gmail.com

First half the episode is a solo show and I ramble on about drinking and how I have needed to quit for a while. The 2nd half of the show I make Wendy feel uncomfortable by bringing up pornography.   Intro song: Memory Lane by Whxami   Instagram: jake_merle Twitter: @JakeMerle Email: memorylanepod@gmail.com

No description this week... I'm feeling lazy.

My brother joins the podcast and tells us a hilarious story about being overweight and the difficulty this caused the paramedics during a mock disaster that he participated in while going to school to become a physical therapists assistant.

I felt like we needed a palette cleanser after last week's heavy topic of abortion, so Wendy and I sat down to have a more typical conversation. We talked about our weekend visiting Wendy's sister and us relapsing and eating sugar. We try to avoid diet talk but we can't help it, a little of that makes it into the conversation. A few other various topics are tossed in to make a potpourri of an episode.   Send us an email at, memorylanepod@gmail.com  Follow me! Instagram: jake_merle Twitter: @JakeMerle

Abortion seems to be all the rage this week, and Wendy couldn't help but bring it up in the middle of what was a pleasant episode. Join us as we get into it and share our differences of opinion and explore the issue... And you know what? I think we solved it! Just kidding... Obviously it's a touchy subject but despite our differences of opinion we still manage to love and respect one another. I would ask that you do the same with your fellow humans. I'm seeing far too much negativity out there on social media. But if you just can't help yourself and you need to call me a fucktard or Wendy a c-u-next-tuesday... send us an email at, memorylanepod@gmail.com 

This is a rambly one! Wendy and I have a few drinks and discuss my attempt to eat carnivorously and diets in general. We're idiots so don't trust anything we say and as always, be skeptical, and DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!

I sit down with Wendy to discuss our new crazy diet, how we found out about it, why we want to try it, the benefits we have heard others having and also talk about how we used to eat and what prompted us to make a change.

The first 30 min: I saw a tornado come down outside my house when I was a kid. Harvey fell off his bike this week and scraped his chin. Notre dame caught on fire. Some woman infatuated with Colombine died. We tried a new restaurant. Wendy and I talk about Easter. The last 30 min: I did something to get Wendy angry with me and we almost get into another fight. We talk about watching tv as kids. Watching porn and why is it that Wendy is so prudish... or was it prissy? Please support the show by leaving a 5 star review and tell a friend about the show!

Wendy and I talk about Harvey's potty time, the stupidity of teenagers, the wrongness of circumcision and piercing babies ears, my meeting with my thesis committee, and the fears that come with being a parent that we experienced this week when Harvey spiked a fever in the middle of the night.   Please leave a 5 star review and tell a friend about the show!

The title says it all. My brother Jon and I go deep. It starts with a discussion about circumcision that leads to a long and wild ride, so buckle up! Please leave a 5 star review and tell a friend about the show! Follow me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jake_merle/  

I felt guilty fighting with Wendy in the last 2 episodes and just wanted to get a more typical podcast out this week. So here is a bonus episode! Wendy and I sit down after putting Harvey to sleep and have a more lighthearted conversation. Somehow I end up rambling about politics and bringing up Wendy's family drama... what is wrong with me? Leave a 5 star review and let me know. Thanks for listening!

Wendy and I sat down to review our previous disagreement on air and ended up right back in another one. Maybe that's what this show is now (just kidding). Like last time, I hope we can use these recorded arguments to better understand where we go wrong when communicating, and show others that arguments and disagreements are normal.  We love each other and we are committed to working through our problems but obviously we both still have more work to do. Thanks for listening! Follow me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jake_merle/ Follow me on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX2DTu96BUoYyDlPpmXL59A    

This is not a fun episode. This was an experiment. I asked Wendy if we could record a fight between us the next time we have one because... obviously we are going to have another fight, at least eventually. I hope this is useful to me when I listen back and dissect it. I am trying to become a better communicator and identify what exactly I need to work on. I hope you there is something that can be learned for me and for anyone listening. Maybe we will do a follow up and general relationship discussion on the next episode. Thanks for listening.

Jess was up visiting Jon for the weekend and the two of them stopped in for a visit. Harvey interrupted us a fair amount but we still had a good chance to catch up and shoot the shit.

It's been a while since the last podcast, Wendy and I catch up about a bunch of things that have gone on since then.

My brother Jon is back and we are talking about dirty stuff our parents don't want to hear.

I sat down with myself and talked about what was on my mind. The topics included relationship frustrations, running, gif porn and circumcision. What can I say, it was a weird one.   If you like the podcast check out the youtube channel I share with my siblings: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX2DTu96BUoYyDlPpmXL59A?view_as=subscriber   Follow me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jake_merle/ 

Wendy and I sit down and discuss teaching Harvey about life and death, being alert and scaring each other, using the word stupid, doing 1000 push ups in a day, the amazing nutrition in eggs, the day we met, our relationship and a whole bunch of other things. This was a really good one!

Wendy and I sat down after eating some snacks, and look through our Facebooks, Instagrams, and photos from 2018 and talked about our year and our relationship.

Wendy and I are visiting my parents and we sit down with my brother and sister and just shoot the shit.

My brother stopped up for another weekend visit. This time Wendy finally has someone to talk about food with. 

My brother Jon came up to visit me and we made oven baked wings. You can check it out on our youtube channel, Merle Clan. We talk about food, family, dogs, hunting and a bunch of other shit.

Wendy and I discuss our counseling session after Thanksgiving with my family, lasertron, bass cleff and much more.   Please Leave A 5 Star Review! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/memory-lane-with-jake-merle/id1443026708   If you'd like to support us please visit: https://www.patreon.com/memorylane
