    E-24: The Breezus Christ
    May 13 2025
    Juli is back and ready to talk about her impending escapade to Vegas! The crew dives into the recent Papal Conclave, sending a few jabs in the direction of Catholicism. Geoff and Mike warn Juli about potential safety concerns at the Luxor. Geoff talks about the grand opening of the new permanent casino where he is a dealer, including a wild incident involving a beer bottle and a water wall. Gen Z story time nostalgically stares into Magic Eye pictures, and Casey's Pizza nobly secures a spot in the Food Hall of Fame thanks to Zach from MN. Points to Ponder turns into a battlefield when Jay starts keeping score, leading to a raucous debate about the best medical show, the most charming Kansas town, and which knockoff brand will reign supreme. Geoff and Juli go toe-to-toe with Jay and Mike over a oh-so-tantalizing choice between a cool $500,000 or two golf shots to hit a ball on the green at #17 at Sawgrass for a whopping $10 million. https://stripwalking.com/post/podcast/e-24-the-breezus-christ 0:00 Badass Intro Music1:58 Mike is excited about new Chevelle song2:43 Juli is back to talk about her upcoming first Vegas trip5:22 Offending Catholics7:02 Keeping the Pope cool8:15 Falling risk at the Dirty Castle and the Dirty Pyramid10:58 What is Juli looking forward to seeing most in Vegas?12:50 The Nebraska casino Geoff deals at opens its permanent facility15:05 Bad casino behavior16:22 Mike buys Benson Boone tickets19:08 Mike proves how uncool he is20:02 Mike is going to LIV Dallas golf event to see Bryson DeChambeau21:30 The Breezus Christ22:14 Will Juli gamble in Vegas?23:18 The Green Door23:59 360 Vegas Vacation25:03 The Green Door location25:50 How safe is the Vegas strip for a solo female?27:08 Vegas.stripwalking.com is the greatest Vegas tour guide29:42 Jay going to NYC30:50 Mike was AI-ing the Wynn app in 201932:02 Gen Z Storytime: Magic Eye Pictures34:55 Juli has a magic eyegasm36:17 Food Hall of Fame: Casey's Pizza (via Zach in MN)38:19 Offending Iowans… and women42:40 Points to Ponder43:24 Best medical show ever?46:15 Best town or city in Kansas that you have not lived in?47:15 Geoff and Mike nearly died in Kansas in 199750:15 What is a knockoff brand that is better than the original?55:10 Would you take $500,000 or two shots to get a ball on the #17 green at Sawgrass for $10,000,000

    Mike boldly leaps into the spicy realm of Indian food. Geoff declares his sabbatical from casino dealing a thing of the past and has an epic night at the casino.

    E-21: Buttered Pop-Tarts And Piss
    Feb 12 2025
    The guys are back at it again, hunting down the illustrious Earl of Sandwich bread and the legendary Gatorgum. Jay rediscovers Pop-Tarts after a two-decade-long hiatus. Meanwhile, a customer trying to snag a stylish Strip Walking T-Shirt is thrown for a loop by a delivery notification from Michael Jordan, sparking a Gen Z tale about MJ that includes the dubious demise of his dad. Everyone’s in agreement that Chickie's & Pete's crab fries are so amazing they deserve a spot in the Strip Talking Podcast Food Hall of Fame! And then there’s Geoff, who’s totally zen about peeing in the shower, convinced that women do it too, and he’s not even bothered by standing in the piss! And if you ask these guys, any steak cooked beyond "medium" is practically a crime against meat! Geoff offends Jay and Mike again by never having watched "The Office". https://stripwalking.com/post/podcast/e-21-buttered-pop-tarts-and-piss 0:00 Cheesy Intro Music2:25 Earl of Sandwich Bread follow up3:52 Chicago Johnnys sells and ships Turano Bread5:25 Gatorgum on Ebay6:18 Jay eats Pop-Tarts again - first time in more than 20 years8:31 Pop-Tarts Bowl11:20 Frozen Pop-Tarts12:06 Ways to eat Pop-Tarts13:15 Buttering your Pop-Tarts22:10 Untoasted Pop-Tarts23:52 All the flavors of Pop-Tarts28:00 A Strip Walking Shirt shipping issue33:00 Gen Z Story time - Michael Jordan39:31 The suspicious death of Jordan's father49:34 Chickie's and Pete's crab fries goes into the Strip Talking Podcast Food Hall of Fame55:42 Points to Ponder56:37 Do you pee in the shower?

    E-20: Just The Clips
    Jan 15 2025

    Geoff, Mike, and Jay are celebrating their 20th episode! They dive into Mike's unforgettable Long John Silver's drive-through adventure, Jay's epic mission to score some Earl of Sandwich bread, and that time Mike gave his wife a tire rebate for their anniversary—because nothing says "I love you" like discount tires! And let's not forget Jay's thrilling horse racing win that may have ended in glue - for the horse. They hilariously reminisce about Jay ditching his daughter's orchestra concert to serve up some pickleball magic, plus Gambler Trey and Jay bonding over their mutual disdain for Carolina BBQ—now that’s real friendship! And who could miss Juli's complete inability to snag any positive points in a Points to Ponder contest (called "rapid fire questions" at the time)? But the real question remains: can anything possibly top Geoff's iconic no-cheese Whopper clip for the title of best moment of 2024? The guys also delve into the secret art of unleashing "Sassy Jay mode" and have a hearty laugh over Jay's line about putting cheese on a 2x4!

    E-19: Dutch Oven Hero – Through the Fire and Buns
    Dec 16 2024
    Mike is a bundle of annoyance about Amazon guaranteeing delivery dates like they’re making a pinky swear. Meanwhile, Jay is living his best life, reliving his Hawaiian themed Thanksgiving and reminiscing about his past themes. Mike discusses his latest Universal Orlando trip, where he played VIP for a day and made another pilgrimage back to the Hot Dog Hall of Fame, proving once again he has strong opinions about wieners. And of course, he has his share of meltdowns about his American Airlines flights. Jay, on a quest worthy of a reality show, is tirelessly searching for an Earl of Sandwich location that will ship him their legendary bread. Geoff adds Sticky Toffee Pudding from Hell's Kitchen Las Vegas to the Strip Talking Podcast Food Hall of Fame. Gen-Z story time gets nostalgic over the clicking and clacking of Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Mike’s also rocking a new YouTube channel called Recliner Riffs where he strums his guitar while sitting down... because he is old! And finally, the guys engage in a debate over the best Gatorade flavor, the ultimate Christmas movie, and the most iconic Christmas song, proving that the only things more complicated than their opinions are their holiday plans. https://stripwalking.com/post/podcast/e-19-dutch-oven-hero-through-the-fire-and-buns 0:00 Cheesy Intro Music1:35 Mike is upset about Amazon's faux guaranteed delivery4:28 Mike working at Pizza Hut delivery in the 1990s with no google maps8:10 Geoff keeps losing his small package(s)9:27 Jay's Hawaiian themed Thanksgiving11:30 Listing Jay's previous Thanksgiving themes12:58 The Hawaiian Thanksgiving menu18:03 Geoff's makes Thanksgiving dinner (except the turkey).

    E-18: Trey-way BBQ Battle
    Nov 26 2024
    The guys are joined by Gambler Trey, who spills the beans about his wild Vegas escapades, from hitting up Zorkfest to snagging a video poker Royal Flush like it's no big deal, and, of course, his thrilling “hand pay hunting” adventures. He even shares his craps betting strategy and recounts indulging in some octopus delicacies with Keren from the 360 Vegas Podcast. Mike stumbles upon a mysterious bra in his hotel room and gets a bit “salty” about the Wyndham to Caesars diamond credit card status match fleeing faster than his last bets. Mike is very disappointed as Jay does the unthinkable and chooses a Hawaiian Luau theme over Mike's absolutely brilliant idea of a Long John Silvers Thanksgiving. Things take a turn for the ludicrous when Trey and Jay dive into a BBQ turf war, only to hilariously roast Geoff for his shocking Whopper cheese aversion! https://stripwalking.com/post/podcast/e-18-trey-way-bbq-battle 0:00 Cheesy Intro Music2:22 Geoff trash talks Keren from 360 Vegas Podcast3:17 Mike finds a bra in a hotel room6:40 How Gambler Trey got into gambling - getting cussed out by a grandma in a poker room12:30 Trey's craps strategy15:34 Trey's favorite casino18:29 Stupid Bet19:15 Zorkfest25:25 Trey eats octopus with 360 Vegas Keren at Sinatra's29:27 Caesars status match with Wyndham credit card going away - Mike to lose diamond status33:45 Trey goes hand pay hunting after first getting video poker Royal Flush42:28 Tracking your gambling45:49 Jay chooses Hawaiian Luau theme for Thanksgiving instead of Long John Silvers theme47:36 Revisiting Geoff's opinion that cheese doesn't belong on a Whopper51:50 Memphis VS Kansas City VS Carolina BBQ56:13 Mike lowers the maturity level of the podcast to 12 year old level1:02:11 Geoff insults Trey
