August 7th, 2026 * Almost Back On Two Feet
Tuesdays With Jakey
This week I ramble about how I almost skipped this week's podcast. But consistency is key. The foot keeps healing, I keep getting more impatient, and the world keeps burning. Oh, and I reminisce semi-fondly about the time I almost murdered a big ole Russian Bear of a man during a drunken moonlit fistfight in the Caribbean surf along the shores of Cuba. Because he was talking shit about America. For real.

July 29th, 2026 * Motorcycle Mishap Part Deux - People who don't ride motorcycles think the danger is the problem. They are wrong about that. The danger is part of the point.!
Tuesdays With Jakey
This week I ramble about my healing journey. And for the first time in a long time I mean my physical healing, not the mental part. Not SO MUCH, this week, anyways. I talk about how the healing is going, how I have a really hard time being sedentary, and how I'm finding trhe zen of it all. And then I explain why I'll NEVER stop riding, so long as my body is able. Then I run down a list of all my motorcycfe crashes. Which, when I explain them all at once, makes me wonder, for a hot second, if I should keep riding. But of course I should. And then I dig in to how riding a motorcycle is akin to...

July 23rd, 2026 * Motorcycle Mishap - Sometimes You Eat the Bear, and Sometimes The Bear Eats You
Tuesdays With Jakey
Sorry this week's episode was late. This week I ramble about my litlte motorcycle mishap on a rugged dirt road deep in the back country of Cenrtral Idaho. Some might call it a crash, but I'm trying not to be hyperbolic. Hear how it happened, how I got out of there and back to civilation, the hospital vists, the beginnings of my recovery, and most importantly, how I've been managing to keep the depression at bay after what appears to be an abrupt end to my summer riding season.

July 7th, 2026 * Depression - The Silent Killer & Introducing.... Jakey The Squirrel Hunter!
Tuesdays With Jakey
This week I ramble about depression, and how it can sneak up you. Or me anyways. So I delve into what made last week's episode so difficult for me to record - because I was in the throes of a depressive funk that I hadnt even identified when I sat down to record. So I get into that for a while and then recount my forways into hunting squirrels with a blow-dart-gun. And I get into tubing on the Boise River twice over 4th of July weekend. I most certianly am earning my Idaho Stripes out here! Feels good to be BACK, Back In The Feel Good Groove! If you wanna be penpals you can send postcards,...

June 30, 2026 * What Risk Means To Me
Tuesdays With Jakey
This week I ramble. And then I ramble some more. The definition of rambling. this might just be the most disjointed podcast I've ever recorded. I was having a very hard time figuring out what to talk about this week so I delved into risk. And what that means to me. And how my "What's The Worst That Could Happen?!?" motto typically serves me well. It took a while for me to find my groove this week. Hopefully you're able to stick with it. I was. I ain't got that quit in me, even if I aint got much else in me this week. If you wanna be penpals you can send postcards, letters, stickers, t-shirts...

June 23, 2026 * Sawtooth Valley Gathering Festival, White Water Kayaking on the Salmon, and Getting Lost On Dirt Roads in the Idaho Backcountry
Tuesdays With Jakey
This week I ramble about the Sawtooth Valley Gatehring music festival in Stanley, Idaho, going white water kayaking on class 3 rapids as part of a friend's bachelor party. And then the ride home. And how a 3 hour ride TO Stanley on pavement turned into an 8 hour journey home on mostly rugged dirt roads. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to stop pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, even if I wanted to. Which I don't. And hopefully never will. YOLO! What's the Worst That Could Happen?!?!

info_outlineWe are BACK! After an unplanned 6 week hiatus, due in equal parts to back country isolation, low level depression, and just not feeling like I had much to say, I return this week to ramble about life, love and the pursuit of scrambled adventures and a clear mind. I took break from clearing out this house to chew the proverbial fat about what’s gone down here and what might be next. In the words of the late great Tom Petty - tomorrow I depart, once again, Into The Great Wide Open, with only the slightest idea of what’s next. On the road again, indeed.
