Let's Roll

Zach Force

Redemption

We learn Ashleigh nearly handicapped Jake with a brutal takedown - with no remorse. Ashleigh contemplates the vagaries of the more disgusting sex. Jake discusses a mentalist and his mystical acts (Ashleigh joins him in awe and fascination). Evan ponders Ashleigh’s claim that he is developing a mean streak and complains about Ashleigh’s texting etiquette (or lack thereof). 

Worst Podcast Ever

 Ashleigh analyzes whether Zach can take her Jekyll and Hyde emotional states. Jake analyzes his marriage and the positive swing his relationship has taken. Evan pontificates about his “care free” days before...well before either Ashleigh or Jake were alive - when you could drive an oil truck over teachers’ cars.  

Jake sucks at takedowns

Much like Jake’s daughter...the new podcast is delivered. It was well worth the wait too - Jake describes  the miracle that is childbirth, expresses his high, high hopes for his daughter’s future, Ashleigh is back in the dojo making sweet jiu jitsu magic with, wait, Jake WTF?? All of us decide we must have an intervention for Zach and his coaching tactics.

He also discusses jiu jitsu based police training, raping dolphins, sports jiu jitsu, and approaches to self defense. Ashleigh withholds magical jiu jitsu techniques from Jake...cause she can. Evan just wants HRT.

The Battle Continues! Jake submits to Ashleigh once again

Ashleigh brings it on the mats and Jake sobs uncontrollably.  Jake is disappointed with Ashleigh’s refusal to ask her doctor for Percocet, preventing him from self medicating.  Evan gets pepper sprayed resulting in a touching shower scene with Jake.

All with no real introduction of who exactly the audience is listening to.  There really is no need to listen to this episode, unless perhaps to quench a fit of boredom.
