Jokers Are Wild

Chuck E Cheese is impersonating a local pizza joint to sell something and the Last Dance was everything Jack hoped it would be. But Kevin's Bracket of Brackets takes center stage as the boys take all the previous bracket winners and put them through the ringer to find the ultimate champion. There is a lot of backstabbing, passion and so much anger that it could threaten the delicate ecosystem the Jokers have heretofore established. Listen at your own peril!

The boys really have nothing to talk about with no movies, no sports and no social gatherings. But the show must go on. And it does in raucous fashion.

The boys are back after their hiatus for season 3. Ryan is married while Jack and Kevin continue to languish in their singularity. Jack has many travels to discuss and the boys give their Super Bowl picks, recap the NFL season and give their grades for all the movies in the second half of 2019.

The boys are all together in one room for the first time in months. By some miracle Kevin didn't kill either Ryan or Jack as they wax poetic about Ryan's wedding and Jack nearly killing his poor father. The Redskins are bad, the Eagles are very injured and the boys did 3 weeks worth of NFL picks. Jack saw It Chapter 2, the boys question the legitimacy of the new Popeyes chicken sandwich, and Mike Posner has been on a weird trip. Finally, Kevin puts together the most devious bracket of all time and it gets rather scandalous. You've been warned.

Jack has returned from an eventful trip to Sacramento, Ryan and Kevin are very upset with the Spiderman drama and the boys predict NFL season win totals. Kevin's bracket series take a morbid turn with cartoon dogs and a fresh batch of movie reviews are available for your listening pleasure.

Kevin has returned and with him tales of thespian prowess. He's in another play and living his best life. Jack however, can't catch a break when it comes to getting a good haircut. The boys breakdown NFL training camp and all the latest football news. Trevor Bauer threw a temper tantrum even Jack was impressed by. Lot of movies reviews including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Us, Spiderman Far From Home, Toy Story 4 and The Boys. Jack also debuts a shit girls say on Bumble segment and kevin gives his biting commentary.

Jack and Ryan are down a man but the show must go on! Jack went to Vegas for Summer League and bares all. Ryan went on a float trip and met with harrowing straits. NBA free agency was off the chain and so was the Women's World Cup. Meanwhile witchcraft is derailing soccer careers and the Florida Woman move onto the Florida Man's turf.

So much sports happened and now it's over leaving us with the doldrums of summer. The boys recap the hoops and the hockey and also debate the finer points of the USWNT's recent pulverizing of Thailand (or was it Taiwan? Still can't remember). Jack can't find a girl with common manners, has abandoned Ryan because of his choice of phone and has also been experiencing many adventures from his apartment rooftop. Ryan tries to console Jack's after his recent car accident, but he's nursing a three day hangover and Kevin is not impressed with any of this as he pulls out eh most epic bracket in the show's history. The boys also bemoan how bad the movies are right now particularly the new X Men film. Apparently Jennifer Lawrence is in this one again. Not sure if she even remembers her role, but she was in it.

Let's face it, GOT sucked. The boys shit all over it for a few minutes and then move on to important matters. Ryan ran a half marathon with minimal bleeding. Kevin has a wonderful biopic themed bracket. Jack had a hellacious hiking experience and is enamored with the NBA. Meanwhile the gang is confused as to how Aladdin isn't a colossal bust, but they try to piece together the summer movie schedule. Ryan also shares with us the latest Florida Man news and some harrowing tales from Everest.

The boys have all seen Detective Pikachu and give it their reviews. All the Jokers agree this summer has a decent slate of movies and preview what they are looking forward to. One thing the boys are not looking forward to is the finale of GOT, which is whimpering to the finish line. Ryan and Kevin are unhappy with movie popcorn while Jack wishes the reclining seats would be better. Jack is thrilled with the Hurricanes being eliminated from the playoffs and is furious over the stupidity of soccer's weird rules. Kevin has another bracket to unveil.

SPOILERS for Avengers and GOT in this episode and in this summary. Jack is turning 30 and is taking up new hobbies so the mid-life crisis has begun. Ryan finally bares all with his strange encounter in a Thai massage parlor from several years ago. Kevin is miserable with his new play and Jack is reminded why Buffalo is not a place to reside. In the second half of the show we forgo a bracket to do a thorough analysis of Avengers and GOT. One has fared better than the other in terms of bringing things to a satisfying ending. Meanwhile Kevin is displeased with the new Sonic trailer while IT 2 looks to be a winner. The boys muse about Detective Pikachu and end the night with more concern about Jack's milestone birthday.

The boys pull an extra long session tonight. As such much is discussed especially the NHL playoffs where Jack is greedy and wants another long run. Ryan actually went to a playoff game and Jack is jealous. Easter came and went with several escapades at Ryan's house. Kevin isn't caught up on GOT and Ryan is now watching it. End Game is days away and the boys are anxious about it. To cope they've watched some horrible movies to review for the show. Jack finally spills the beans about a disastrous date and Ryan and Kevin convince him to write his memoirs. Kevin has another prime bracket that comes with much pain for Ryan.

Jack has several harrowing travel stories, which explains why he was ghosting girls this past weekend in a quest to catch up on sleep. Kevin reminds him this is the way we were meant to live - living in our basements. Ryan is fuming over a change in workspaces while Kevin is eagerly awaiting his next play. Meanwhile Nicholas Cage got married for a few minutes, the AAF folded, Bryce Harper is scum, Ryan reviews Us and the bracket is yet another masterpiece.

The first half of the show, nothing happens. Seriously, there are so many asides that we can't endorse tuning in. But if you must know we mentioned NFL free agency like once, movie pass has returned and the college basketball thingy is going on.The boys hated Captain Marvel and of course we have the usual quick hitters about hipsters, Florida and crazy bus drivers. The bracket is a doozy so check out Kevin's GOT inspired madness.

Lent has come upon us again and the boys share their tales of fasting. Jack actually gave something up this year as well so it's sure to be lent of ranting. Ryan is also ranting about the podcast world and how desolate it is outside the realm of JAW. Kevin is irate over the Redskins acquisition of Case Keenum. Jack has more Florida news, Taylor Swift has a stalker and the greatest bridge player in the world was suspended for PEDs??

The boys are stacked with stories and leading it off is none other than dirty old Bob Kraft. Bryce Harper shunned the west coast for more money to live in Philly, Johnny Manzel was kicked out of Canada and Jason Witten decided he couldn't take anymore abuse in the booth and ran back crying to the Cowboys. Ryan went to a fancy wedding, Jack calls him out for his decision to run in a half-marathon and Kevin has tales of girl scout cookies and drug busts. Meanwhile more crazy shit is happening in Florida and the latest bracket has arrived hot off the presses.

The boys do a medley of all the latest terrible news. Florida is sinful, a women ate some mushrooms that killed her at a Michelin starred restaurant, a man thought a dog was spying on him, and no one likes having sports anymore. Kevin was asked to continue his acting career, Ryan is planning several hundred bachelor parties and Jack is astounded at how much the boys hated Alita: Battle Angel. A new bracket from Kevin rounds out the evening and the 69th episode of JAW.

Jack was in LA over the weekend and is now obsessed with standup comedy. He also rubbed elbows with several A-list celebrities. Ryan survived a near brush with financial catastrophe and Kevin brings us a new bracket. Several horrifying stories out of Florida and Russia while the AAF made a splash in its debut weekend.

Pat Stein joins the show to defend his honor in a war of words with Jack. Ryan is totally bummed out about the Super Bowl and the boys share some scuttlebutt about movies, hockey and life in general in one of the more freewheeling episodes the show has ever seen!
