In this episode, Jeremy explains the science behind Oklahoma's earthquakes, Pat's testicles present as swollen and Joy faces a mid-life crisis.

Joy, Jeremy and Pat return from their summer off.In this episode, Pat has a fancy new job and a lot of explaining to do.

Gabe Piper returns to the studio, and he's all growns up.Just like so many of the recent episodes, this one was sat on for a length of time due to the amount of time it takes to edit an episode.Once we get back to a regular schedule in the Fall, there should be less wait for episodes since our plan is to edit less.

Joy and Jeremy discuss helping others.

Pat eats a bunch of nuts and talks about Disney cruises.**NOTE:** Apparently this was recorded in January. No bigs.

Most people don't know that I record a lot of covers of my favorite songs. I don't ever release them because they're just for me. Most of the time, they're pretty rough... in need of beat matching, autotune or whatever would make them passable for general consumption. Today, I'm making an exception to my "no release" rule, flaws and all.

A Johnson/Jackson ticket is just what this country needs to bring parties to the White House lawn every weekend.Incidentally, Jeremy and Joy got excited about a photo of John MacAfee, NOT Gary Johnson.

Pat and Jeremy finish their old man run with corporate speak and letting them hang.

Joy had to duck out and take care of baby pink eye, so the guys go it alone again this time.In this episode: The toddler Andrew Dice Clay, *Deadpool*, *The Witch*, baby pink eye and the myriad of creative jobs you could have that have nothing to do with ad agencies.

Joy forgot to stick around for this recording session, so Pat and Jeremy revisit the "Old Man" days of this show's run.In this episode: Lumbago, dry skin and nagging cough. Also, 2016 predictions, revisiting the idea of broken agency models, Pat's many vacations, Pat's many bad Christmas tree dreams, The pros and cons of Disney's Marvel, *Steamboat Wookiee* and burning out on the things that you love.

Pat starts talking smack on our friend Darin Ross. So we have him call in and defend himself.

Don't be fooled by the poop title. This episode features tales of resilience, rejection, determination and drive. It also has soft-serve unicorn poop.

In this episode, we discuss brands that try to latch onto higher life lessons. And we try like hell to edit out Pat's peanut butter pretzel eating sounds.

Pat is off on a shoot, so Joy and Jeremy discuss all the polite topics: Religion, politics and fossil fuels.

Tired of not receiving phone calls, the gang take matters into their own hands and begin calling listeners at random.Remember, you *can* call anytime and leave voicemail at (816) 852-0668. Or, if you want us to call you on a future episode, either leave a voicemail or send your phone number to theshakes@misfitrad.io.

Joy, Jeremy and Pat discuss Linds Redding's post about his view of the advertising industry in the face of death.

This episode is a balanced mélange of outright stupidity mixed with fascinating authenticity.In this episode, we discuss kids huffing poop gas and the Piper family trip to China.

The gang is back! We spend this show checking on on how our baby birthing, book writing and knot tying goals shook out.

Here we are: The last episode before our hiatus. We certainly couldn't have had a better guest to share with you than our friend John Roderick.In this episode we discuss Jeremy's encroaching Kaczynski-ism (minus the pipe bombs), digging holes with your boots, babies, writing, David Rees's insistence that we *all* get ripped in 2015 and challenge coins. It's a lot to leave you with.That said: Farewell for a bit. We *will* return, rested and ready, in late June 2015. Until then, listen to old episodes, think of new topics, questions and guests for us to have on the show and *definitely* spend some time getting to know the other shows on misfitrad.io. We'll see you soon.

In the first of our two makeup interviews, we talk to artisanal pencil sharpener and television personality David Rees about trips to Africa, hiatuses and bodybuilding.

Two episodes away from the season finale. We discuss extreme constraints and a long-buried sense memory that may not even be real surfaces in Jeremy's psyche.

Pat returns from his cruise, so we discuss switching nautical channels, the Oscars and the culinary preferences of Disney Princesses.

While Pat is away on a birthday cruise, Joy and Jeremy tackle a grab bag of topics. Midway through, it seems that Jeremy has a mental meltdown looming large in the near future.**In this episode:** Saved by the Bell, Budweiser backlash, Monster Jam, meltdowns and that dead guy.**PROGRAMMING NOTE:** This episode mentions that we'll be going on hiatus in May. In fact, we have decided to start that hiatus on March 20th. For those keeping track by episode number, that means we're taking our break after episode 85. We only have four more episodes until that happens, so help us make those episodes great with ideas for topics and questions from you.

Jeremy and Joy discuss cartoons with Spencer Rothbell, Head of Story for Cartoon Network's *Clarence*.

In our last episode, we discussed the fact that the tradition of the Super Bowl spot has jumped the shark. In this episode, we discuss candidates for the new emperor of big stage advertising.

Pat's back from synchronized violin swimming lessons. We've got a lot to discuss. And a lot of nuts to eat. We also get a call from from Matt and give advice about range of work in his portfolio.**In this episode:** Why releasing Super Bowl ads a month in advance is dumb, the female Carrot Top on a Sonic shoot, Snipers, Thomas Kinkade, portfolio advice and Jiro's clambake sushi town.

Joy and Jeremy discuss being a creative professional as illustrated by a newspaper cartoon. Or is it cartooned by a newspaper illustration?

Happy New Year, friends!Joy and Jeremy start the new year by trying to figure out what 2015 has in store for The Shakes.One thing we'd love to have happen is the return of phone calls. **You can call (816) 852-0668 24 hours a day, seven days a week** to leave voicemail with whatever's on your mind. Or, look for tweets from [@theshakes](http://twitter.com/theshakes) to find out when you can call in live and talk to Jeremy, Joy and Pat.

**Alternate Title: Clear out Your Jelly and You'll Be Just Fine**This is the last episode of 2014. It was not supposed to be.We had two terrific episodes lined up with David Rees and John Roderick, but Jeremy messed up and didn't record their audio. So, here we are, closing with what was meant to be next week's show.**In this episode:** Black Mirror, Christmas specials, Pat and Jeremy's rising estrogen levels and the most inscrutable DVR of recent memory.

Here's the episode we were supposed to release for your Thanksgiving road trip listening pleasure. But the hotel wifi on Jeremy's Thanksgiving road trip made it impossible to publish. So, here's your Thanksgiving dessert a week late.**In this episode:** Self-aware jazz, John Muller, cognacs, Pat's weird toaster grandpa, film school in the Midwest, making out with Tiffani Amber Thiessen and the return of cannibalism, just in time for the holidays.

Pat invites Wolf Wilhelmine's founder and director of strategy, Heidi Hackemer, in for a chat about reinventing the way her shop works by living out of a Ford F-150.

We return from licking our World Series wounds by having A1 Corporate Shill Chris O'Connor come to the studio.We crack open one the first 1,000 bottles of Rieger Whiskey and talk about entrepreneurialism. Except for Joy. She's pregnant.

It's a mixed bag of discussion. Because, you see, our cable's out and we've already been to the rec center this week.**In this episode:** Rob Lowe's DirecTV spots, ChoreMonster at the Disney Accelerator, Walking Dead season 5 discussion and crackheads.**ERRATA:** Contrary to Pat's statement, ChoreMonster *did not* sell to Disney. Rather, some sort of partnership is in the works.

Now, more than ever, the time has come to have the definitive discussion of the Kansas City Royals.But, don't worry. It's not all baseball, apple pie, Grandma's slacks and Chevrolet. The discussion somehow goes to a "little person" that Jeremy once cast in a commercial that allegedly has an alternate career in niche adult cinema.But, baseball!

Pat brings up the topic of "Lollipop Moments," seemingly innocuous actions that one does for others with little thought that ultimately have a lasting impact on that other's life.But Joy has questions. And Jeremy just leans his head into the billowy, cloud-like Auralex and lets the discussion unfold.

The gang breaks in the recording studio with a brainstorming session.If the world will end in five days, what will you do? Hint: If you're smart, you'll stay away from Pat.

We're not sure how this turned into a totally cat-focused episode, but *you're welcome*.**In this episode:** High-performance slo-mo cat treats, the ups and downs of applying one product category's creative tropes to another, Hello Kitty and the debate on changing the Oklahoma Joe's brand.

The topic of self-doubt rears its ugly head once again. Pat brings it up. Jeremy had it in the back of his mind but didn't put it on the topic sheet. You might start up an over/under pool at work to see which one has the first breakdown on an upcoming episode.**In this episode:** Cats, self-doubt, the double-edged sword of generalism and the fact that one truly can't go home to an old creative idea.

Here's a little mini episode for you. We talked about a topic we decided later to not publish or mention that we ever discussed it. So, that left us with 15 minutes of usable material. But, we packed those minutes with *pure gold*.**In this episode:** First jobs and salaries, being the right person at the right time, wearing your 80's poofy hair to a meeting, Joy interviewed Jeremy for a job once and Jeremy's 2002 job interview at MK12.

The gang gets an email from Crazy Cousin Eddie and helps him set expectations about working with design agencies as a client. **In this episode:** Movie line nostalgia, *Guardians of the Galaxy* = *Star Wars IV: A New Hope*?, a dramatic email reading by Joy and a Chinese Dulcolax ad brings us back to Pat's PV.The title of this episode *really* wanted to be *Poop People in Butt Jail*, but we figured we've lost enough of our listeners.

Some things take their own sweet time. Like young job applicants who think it looks "important" to sit on a job offer for weeks. Other things are faster than lighting. Like tainted barbecue through Pat's dainty digestive system.**In this episode:** Weddings, vacations, digestive problems, job offers, marker farts and tourist blight. Plus an update on the Danny and Afentra show rumor.

After Robin Williams' death, we felt it was important to discuss depression and how it affects creative minds.**In this episode:** We discuss Robin Williams, our individual depressions, the reality of depression, what one can do to help themselves or others and the fact that *we are not professionals or doctors so take our advice with a grain of salt*.

Whole lotta talkin' about babies in this episode.We are visited by designer and all-around big deal Jason Permenter to discuss getting out of what you don't love and getting into Dungeons Dragons. And twins.In this episode: Baby talk, Big Spaceship talk, Dungeons Dragons talk and Joy decides to leave advertising to start her own flower wine birthday company called, "Joy".Eventually there may also be coffee.

What started out as an earnest effort to get the show back toward the goal of discussing creative campaigns turned into a science show where we learned the mysteries of the human body. We can blame the *First Moon Party*.

One of Jeremy's oldest, dearest friends drops in for a chat. Adam Beeby is an artist, a former comic shop owner, one of the original members of Future Islands (when they were called Art Lord and the Self-Portraits) and, recently, a full-time grad school student.In this episode: We discuss meandering along, doing what you think you should be doing and what you think you like until your creative output tells you who you *really* are.

**Alternate Title:** MILF Milk Moustache RidesJeremy, Joy and Susan Neuman had a staff meeting while Pat was on vacation. On the agenda, we determined what the network's mission statement should be: Giving people who don't want to go home the opportunity to talk into a microphone to better society and themselves. And to stop racism.In this episode: The meeting is called to order, Joy's new husband is READY TO IGNITE, we all want to escape and we brainstorm the topic and title of Joy and Susan's upcoming show on misfitrad.io.

Joy books a local Internet celebrity! We're joined by Matt Keck, a comedian and social media manager that you may have seen on YouTube, Comedy Central's *Tosh.0* or G4's *Web Soup* as the "I'm a Snake" guy. He really, truly is a snake.In this episode: Snakes, something about sex with no makeup and a deep-seated desire for Joy to have her face on a t-shirt that her mom didn't make.

In anticipation of [San Diego Comic-Con](con.org/">http://www.comic-con.org/), we have Brian Winkeler and Robert Wilson IV, the writer/illustrator team behind Monkeybrain Comics' [*Knuckleheads*](http://www.monkeybraincomics.com/titles/knuckleheads/). We used the power of many Skypes to bring Kansas City, Dallas and Oklahoma City into one room at the same time.In this episode, we discuss how a couple of guys who met in an Oklahoma City comics shop ended up creating their own title, the market between digital and print comics, art exhibitions and, of course, comics.**NOTE:** The "tomorrow" mentioned in the episode for the release date of *Knuckleheads: Fist Contact* has since passed. You should be able to find the title where fine comics are sold.

Pat made a new friend at a party and so he decided to just bring him into the basement to talk about kid hoarding, "Minecraft Time", tipping and Joy's silky voice.

Joy meets another Philly friend in Jenn Lukas. We discuss we discuss teaching and knowledge sharing, as well as cooking inside the box, coding to create, rewatching movies and why Pat has so many cans of clams in his pantry.

Joy's good friend Susan Neuman stops by to discuss how moms are good, dads are sometimes good, vaginas exist and that whole thing about "paying one's dues" is a bunch of crap.

Scott Simpson is working through his nervous pooping problem via the strangest therapy ever.In this episode, we discuss quitting jobs, following dreams, nervous pooping, great comedy and Jizoy.

Paul Armstrong returns to the show to talk about something. But then the mouth crimes happened. And then emoji movies, hot mayonnaise and racism got on Denzel Washington's finger, rendering it freaky.We thought it was weird, too.

It's our 50th episode and we're pulling out all the stops. We're shucking and jiving until the cows come home!We celebrate 50 episodes with Bill O'Reilly, John C. Reilly, John Popper, Jalapeño Poppers, Poppin' Fresh Dough, Doc McStuffins, Stuff You Should Know, Nobu Matsuhisa, Mitsubishi Montero, Mike Monteiro, Mics for Joy, Joy Division, Division of Labor, Labor Day, Day Runner, the Running Man, Manny Smothers, Scatman Crothers, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Nipsy Russell.Or we just have a regular episode.Dear Guy Who Just Made My Burrito: — Comedy Corner — MediumFuck That Shitty Coloring Book — Please Don’t Let Them Turn Out Like Me — MediumJeremy Fuksa – Creative Turtleheads on VimeoMeredith Brooks - Bitch - YouTubeDixie Chicks - Goodbye Earl - YouTubeIf you like what we do, consider supporting us with a few dollars via TugboatPlease write a review of our show.

Pat sits in the show runner's chair again and invites screenwriter Casey Twenter to discuss how a screenwriting bet turned into *Rudderless*, William H. Macy's directorial debut.In this episode, find out what it's like to have a film you wrote close Sundance, get bearhugged by Billy Crudup and have your punchlines overanalyzed by Felicity Huffman.casey twenter (caseytwenter) on TwitterCasey Twenter - IMDbRudderless (2014) - IMDbRudderless - Festival Program | Sundance Institute‘Rudderless’ Review: William H.

Our fans were a chatty bunch recently. We’re not sure what happened, but we had end-to-end phone calls this episode.We talk to John Locke about the leap from baking to web design, Dean Clean about the Dead Milkmen’s summer tour and Dylan Ribb about talking about Dylan Ribb earlier in the episode, style.All">Inception-style.All this, plus Pat’s predilection for Hello Kitty and Joy’s sci-fi sex fetishes can be yours if you press ‘play’ RIGHT NOW.

Pat runs the show this week as his guest and friend Peter Grosz calls in from New York City. We learn a ton about writing, acting and that no one's testicles are safe around Gabe Piper.Peter's staff writing credits include *Late Night with Seth Meyers* and *The Colbert Report*, but you may recognize him from films like *Stranger Than Fiction*, TV shows like *Veep* and, of course, as the dark-haired guy sitting in a car eating tater tots during Sonic Drive-In commercials.

Do two letters in front of your job title change that much about you? Happy Cog's VP of Design, Chris Cashdollar, discusses that transition from working creative director to VP and what, if anything, changes.Chris also educates the gang on the Ramen Rennaisance, puts his two cents in on what happens when meetings go horribly wrong and steals Joy's heart somewhere along the way.

Nearly all people have a tendency to benchmark the things they do. How did this compare to the last time we did this? How does this idea compare to the one from this other person?Benchmarking is natural but can be a problem when we get too wrapped up in overthinking what the analysis tells us. The gang discusses how they do or don't benchmark in their daily lives as well as some things that just *aren't* benchmarkable. Like retrospectively racist creative writing assignments or beers with Steve Burns from *Blue's Clues*.

The gang talk about Jeremy's SXSW experience as he finds comfort in his Fisherman's Friend. Pat also offers Green solutions from his college roommate for making underwear last eight days.

Let's just get right into Joy's favorite subject: the Kansas City Royals and her, um, love for Mike Moustakas. She can go on for hours. And she did, so you're welcome for the judicious editing.

Introducing Joy Moeller, our newest co-host! She's sassy. She's classy. And she drinks her wine from a NutriBullet. As you do.Pat, Jeremy and Joy feel out their chemistry by discussing mentorship and the "plus one" mentality.

Darin Ross returns to the show, thereby setting his sights on becoming the Alec Baldwin of The Shakes.The gang discuss the culture of creative jealousy/hate among nerds, doing what feels right, the runaway success of Darrin's card game "SUPERFIGHT!" and Jeremy's new card game, "Hobo Molesters".

Steps to successfully rocking a fanny pack:1. Get a fanny pack.Pat and Jeremy wrap up their "old man" series with discussions about pink eye and why Super Bowl commercials are no longer relevant. Pat reveals his latent desire for a fanny pack and the two make a date to go shopping.

Pat and Jeremy are joined by front-end developer and aspiring NPR host Grady Noonen. We collectively wonder where the passion went and why we're so afraid to be adults.

Pat and Jeremy had a collective low energy day. Pat's knee hurt. Jeremy's car was overheating. The mixture of all three equals a whole lot of GET OFF MY LAWN.

Jeremy is having an off day, and guest John Kreicbergs steps in to perform an intervention and get the show back on the right course. Random acts of podcasting, indeed.

Dean "Clean" Sabatino calls Pat and Jeremy to discuss DIY audience-building, life with The Dead Milkmen, Pat's addiction to ABBA and THUNDERSHEET.Incidentally, our new theme song is composed and performed by Dean. Thank you, Dean, for helping us sound legit.

Pat and Jeremy have old friend and American Copywriter co-host Tug McTighe on the couch. We talk about the sweet freedom of being young and single, video games, nerddom, video games, Shia LeBouf and video games.

We're joined by Leah Reich to discuss research, cars, communication and teen boy advice.If you've ever wondered about that data port in your car and what it's good for, this episode will send you down the right path to figuring that out. Wow. Creativity and auto care. This show is branching out!

Pat and Jeremy are fascinated by guest Tim Smith. How can a guy become a successful freelance web designer, developer and podcaster at 21? Why are Pat and Jeremy still not successful anythings at 40?Most importantly, for what product does Tim think Indiana Jones would make a good spokesperson?

There are few things we love more than absurdity, things that are double black, farts and chores. Somehow, Paul Armstrong has figured out a way to weave all of those things into a tapestry that he drapes himself in and parades through the courtyards of the Internet. Or something like that.

Let’s tackle some feel-good topics in quick succession, shall we? Layoffs and loyalty, how The Crazy Ones is too much Robin Williams even for Robin Williams and how the Killing Kennedy website feels like you’re next for a magic bullet.

Friend of the show Celeste Lindell drops by Mom's Basement to talk about bands, Aqua Net, cats and keeping your company's social media from sucking as bad as it probably does.

We visit with Kevin Hoffman about better ideas, better meetings and Viking Death Metal.

Live from the Fan Appreciation Party sponsored by Squarespace, at 8183 Studio in Kansas City, October 17, 2013.What a great turnout we had for our party. In this episode, we reconnect with Quinn on a wall, get the scoop on Boston Poopy Pants Times and then discuss the state of interactive advertising with the audience. You'll just have to imagine all this happening with free beer and barbecue in your lap.

This is a weird episode. We'll just be up front with that.We originally wanted to release this live show as a video but the lighting was horrible. So, we've turned this episode into a sort of "read-along record," which only three of you will know what that is.All the spots that we commented on are in the show notes below. When you hear the creepily disembodied voice call the spot, pause the show and watch the corresponding link. Then resume the show to hear our commentary. It's just like being there!Or, really, just listen to the show without context. It's actually rather beautiful in its own special way.

Quinn is moving to Boston. Even though she’ll still host via Skype, we’ll miss her on the basement couch.In this episode: We discuss the smell of anxiety, answer an email about doing work that goes against your beliefs, and then things just get weird.Maybe we should have done that 25th anniversary clip show after all.

How many creative calories are you burning? Does that sound like the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard? If so, thank Pat.Let’s translate: When you don’t have the time or budget to give that, “little something extra,” do you still squeeze it in, or do you save your energy for another project? Is it even worth worrying about?

We’re joined by friend, colleague, boss and all-around nice guy Paul Corrigan to discuss pressing against things creatively while playing a mean banjo. We promise it’ll all make sense once you listen.

We’re joined on the dingus by Darin Ross, or Mr. Lucky Shirt to you. We discuss his prolific output while Pat has issues with creative energy levels. It’s the feel-good hit of the summer.

Merlin Mann joins us as a live beta test of having guests on the show. We think it went pretty well. Except for Quinn’s throat peanut that kept her choking off-mic for half the show.We revisit “creative wives”, dicsuss Lead Tickets, Battle Royale, and spaghetti night.

Quinn is on a location shoot so Pat shares his feelings about the episode when he was on vacation. Then Pat and Jeremy discuss unexpected career opportunities.

Pat, Quinn and Jeremy end Season 1 with a hard look at the core of what this show is all about: Impostor Syndrome.

WARNING: Game of Thrones spoilers! But, really, you already had it spoiled by the rest of the Internet, so go ahead and listen.Pat is off to a prolonged rendezvous with a Disney princess, so Quinn and Jeremy hang out in Your Mom’s Basement, drink some wine and discuss having a sounding board you can trust to maintain your sanity.

It’s that time of year again, when aspiring minds try to eke out a shred of what they think they might be worth. We try to make the eking a little more fruitful.In this episode we talk about portfolios and advice for upcoming graduates while giving cautionary tales of strange client requests and presentation horror stories.

Quinn is back, and we pick up the discussion about women in creativity after Jeremy writes an awkwardly unnecessary article of apology on Medium. Hilarity ensues.Also, there is now a term for when you keep repeating stories every time you speak to someone. It’s called Gerholding.

While Quinn is on vacation, we’re joined by Kansas City’s top Avid editor, Joy Moeller.In this episode we discuss Bulletproof All-Stars, Harland Williams, shipping your pants, and the slimming pitcher of the new Kool-Aid man.

The gang talks about stepping back and figuring out brand stories before designing a new company logo, and the challenges women face in the advertising and tech industries.

Why do designers, writers and other creative people feel the need to constantly be working on side projects even though they spend all day thinking and working creatively? We stick our heads into what could be a very deep, dark rabbit hole.

The show starts innocently enough with talk of SXSW 2013 and how we’d bring a new beer to market. But when it comes to the topic of changing jobs to get into the career you really want, Quinn owns the show. Heather, you’d better listen to her.

We’re joined in studio by special guest, Gabe “Gaberaham Lincoln” Piper. He’s every bit Pat’s boy.In this episode, we discuss the reach-around of award shows, Walking Dead Live, Vine, Super Bowl vs. Mad Men, and epiphanies about being afraid of change. We answer an email about PSAs from Crazy Cousin Eddie and take calls from our German pal Joel, our Denver pal Robert and an IUD robo-call.

During our pre-show breakdown, the calls started coming in. So we just went with it.In this episode, we discuss LinkedIn whoring, finding talent in unexpected places, the burglary curse of The Shakes, “Find My Mac/iPad/iPhone” vigilante squads, telling your story the right way and responsibility in advertising. All before we decide we need to start our own agency called ACA (Ambulance Chasers of Advertising).

Jeremy, Pat and Quinn discuss Argo, the Golden Globes, Weight Watchers and the Rachel Maddow Show with callers. Real and self-imposed barriers to good work also get discussed before Jeremy takes a potty break, causing Pat and Quinn to miss a call.Wait, did we just say callers? Oh, yeah. We did.This show is now recorded live and you can call (415) 484-5830 to discuss things with the gang. Become a part of the train wreck.

Alternate Title: “Let’s Be Sad For Xmas.” Thanks, Caleb.Hey! It’s the holidays, so let’s eat Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, drink Shiner Holiday Cheer and get really, REALLY depressed about a whole bunch of stuff. Podcasts are like mix tapes. You need to orchestrate low points before you pick the pace back up.This episode, we talk about Aunt Francis, obsession of craft via Jiro Ono and Bob Ross, taking stock of the past year and how 2013 will be the year of The Shakes.
