It is a chaotic episode on the Jungle Jim's Podcast! This week, we're joined by the legendary band, Green Jellÿ. They stopped into Jungle Jim's during their most recent tour and we get to pick the brain of bandleader Bill Manspeaker about his life after selling 29 million records! Bill tells us tour stories, about life on the road for his young son named Khaos, he tells stories about working with Gene Simmons of KISS, Maynard James Keenan of Tool, and so much more. Did you know Gene Simmons only eats the tops of muffins? You do now! We even dive into how Green Jellÿ got hired by Marvel Comics to work on the soundtrack for their video game, Maximum Carnage. Here's to Stan Lee and his forward thinking.

Holy shirataki! This week, we're joined by Dr. Jonathan Carp of Miracle Noodles to talk about their entire product line, the nutritional benefit of shirataki noodles, and so much more. This is all thanks to emails and requests from viewers just like you, who've been asking to learn more about some of our food offerings that hit dietary restrictions for those of you who are looking for low-carb, keto, and sugar-free lifestyles. As always, send me an email at [email protected] if you've got any requests, thoughts, feelings, or just want to send an email to someone you don't know really well yet.

This week, i'm joined by one of the brilliant minds behind the inception of Adult Swim at Cartoon Network, Andy Merrill. Andy is a writer, producer, and voice actor, best known for his work on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Adventure Time, and many more. He is likely most famous to you as the voice of Brak from Space Ghost. Andy shops our store fairly frequently so I finally snared him into talking with me on the show about life, food, and which Cartoon Network execs need a stern talking-to. In the meantime, lets get some tickets rolling for the Jungle Jim's International Wine Festival coming up in November!

Have I been playing too much Red Dead Redemption 2 or is it just time to learn about moonshine? Maybe both. This week, I'm joined by Doug Taylor, a master distiller who you may recognize from The Discovery Channel's "Moonshiners: Master Distiller," to teach us all about the craft of making moonshine. If this episode doesn't fill the void enough for you, you can join us at the Eastgate Jungle Jim's on September 1st, 2023 from 5-7pm where Doug will be signing bottles, sampling, and taking pictures with the fans! Should be amazing. All this and more on the Jungle Jim's Podcast!
