Geoffrey Douville

This is a classic from 2012 recorded between Jazz Fest weekends. We have hot takes for Baby Boomers, and love for great jazz artists. Love for Terence Blanchard, and more. And it’s fun. Thanks for tuning in.

This is one of Joel Jackson’s most very favorite show from 2012. Because Geoff Douville was so dope. And this show seems so relevant to our times.Oblivious lessness monstersSan FranciscoEmpathyParkinson’s and not joking about itThe Adderall Gen vs Gen XCustomer service  from top down Don’t contempt your customerYou vs us=No debit card attitudeThe price is right=Epicenter of green meets SpicoliMike JudgeOcean beach surfing americaDirty HarryBody SnatchersMayansGolf cart protocolsWomen are better than manSpecial People SubversivenessSociety Selfishness

The guys are back with a producer, a theme song, sponsors and plugs.  We open up discussing going to the Saints home opener at the Dome, and speculate on what dirt new kicker Wil Lutz must have on coach Sean Payton.  We spend the rest of the pod introducing the Douvillympics, to take place in New Olreans' City Park every two years.  Special Thanks to Egg Yolk Jubilee, Griper Nugent, Terranova, Bob Roth's Lounge, and Grupo Fantasma.
