Running the Streets, Running a Bar, and Running from the Cops

Stop the presses. Call your editor. Alert the authorities. Episode 80 of Nice Pull! uncovers something previously thought impossible a middle-aged white guy talking about growing up in the 70s and 80s. Yes, you read that correctly.Not one, not two, but THREE of them in the same room. Experts are calling it unprecedented. Historians are scrambling for context. The internet may never recover.Jeff and Chris welcome Gen X Jono, a man who hassomehow built a massive following by doing the unthinkable reminiscing about being a latchkey kid and surviving it. Armed with nothing but memories, mild trauma, and an alarming number of near-death experiences, Jono dives headfirst into the chaos that was Gen X childhood.But the real scandal erupts when Johno starts confessing. Underage drinking in open fields. Hitchhiking at 12 like it waspublic transportation. Running a fully operational bar as a teenager with zero adult supervision until state troopers crash the party after a drunken accident blows the whole thing wide open. Licenses threatened. Parents notified. Consequences suggested but never fully delivered. Somehow everyone walks away alive and ready to do it all again next weekend.By the end, Episode 80 reads like a tabloid exposé on a generation that probably should not have made it this far butsomehow did. Three guys, countless bad decisions, and a mountain of stories that feel equal parts hilarious and legally questionable. This is not just a trip down memory lane. This is a full-blown investigation into how Gen X survived itself.

Psychic Comedy, Witch Dolls, and the Fabulous Karen Rontowski

In this historic (and long overdue) episode, Jeff and Chris finally break their accidental two-year streak of hosting a glorified sausage fest by welcoming their first-ever female guest—and not just any guest, but psychic stand-up comic Karen Rontowski, who kicks the door open like she’s been booked since 1987 and you guys just lost the paperwork.What starts as a standard Nice Pull stroll through Gen X nostalgia—complete with Star Wars vs. Star Trek debates and the emotional trauma of turning 60—quickly spirals into something far weirder. Karen arrives armed with a haunted witch doll named “Emerald” (because of course she does), casually drops that it’s worth $400 now, and then proceeds to tell stories that make The Exorcist feel like a Hallmark movie. From possessed roommates getting roped (literally) into the air, to demonologists hanging out at wolf sanctuaries (as one does), to the revelation that ventriloquists might need separate hotel rooms for their dolls (hard pass), this episode lives in that magical space where comedy and “should I sage my house tonight?” collide.Karen breaks down how she accidentally created a booming career blending tarot readings with stand-up—basically turning “what’s your sign?” into a full-blown business model—while Jeff leans all the way into UFOs, ghosts, and the kind of stories that make Chris reconsider every life decision that led him to hit “record.”Somewhere in the chaos, there’s a strangely profound takeaway: maybe psychics, comedians, stock traders, and nurses are all just tapping into different versions of the same weird human intuition… or maybe we’re all just one haunted doll away from losing it completely.Either way, this episode delivers:<ul><li>Nostalgia ✔️</li><li>Existential dread ✔️</li><li>Demon-adjacent rope incidents ❌ (we hope)</li><li>And one unforgettable guest who proves that reading tarot cards on stage might actually be the most normal thing she does.</li></ul>By the end, Chris is questioning reality, Jeff is ready to book a tarot reading, and Karen is off to her next sold-out show like she didn’t just casually ruin everyone’s sleep schedule.Bottom line: Episode 79 is what happens when Nice Pull! opens the liquor cabinet and accidentally lets the supernatural in—and honestly, it’s about damn time.

Attack of the 12 Foot Skeleton, Ghastly DMV Photos, and that time Two Freshly Minted 60 year old’s Stared into the Abyss

Chris and Jeff celebrate surviving the great odometer rollover with the kind of wild birthday behavior you’d expect from men entering their prestige era: seafood, appetizers, quiet restaurants, and a deep spiritual appreciation for nobody making a scene. From there, things immediately drift into the beautiful wreckage of aging, including the horrifying realization that people in their 60s used to look like they fought in the Civil War, while somehow these two are still mentally hovering around age 19 with worse knees and stronger opinions.Along the way, they wander through the usual sacred Gen X territory: grandparents who seemed ancient at 61, the psychological warfare of driver’s license photos, the strange moment when you realize young people are impressed that you can send an attachment, and the grim truth that no one ever says, “60 is the new anything.” It is just 60. The check engine light of adulthood.But this episode is not some soft-focus Hallmark meditation on growing older. No, sir. It also contains righteous fury about traffic, public annoyance, old people with mysterious urgency, and one absolutely unhinged suburban mystery involving a giant skeleton that refuses to leave one man’s block and possibly has darker plans. There is also some surprisingly hopeful talk about late blooming success, creative second acts,and why the future might still be weird enough to make getting older worth it.So, if you enjoy nostalgia, low grade rage, existential comedy, and two vintage humans trying to make peace with the fact that they are now closer to senior discounts than rookie cards, episode 78 has your name all over it.
