SideDish LongmontLongmont Locals: Dr. Rick JacobiDr. Rick is a longtime old town east-sider with lots of ideas and love for his neighborhood. As a retired family practice doctor, he spends his time writing books (you can purcahse at Composition Book Shop on Main or here), serving on the Historic Preservation Commission, volunteering in his community, and pondering history. We talk Longmont stories, historic preservation and we might bring up trains. Annie gets a little hard hitting. (Don't worry. - she wasn't up and night for a week stressing about being an inhospitable host). Dr. Rick was a gracious guest and we learned a lot...2025-07-1543 minSideDish LongmontBuzzcut: June 27, 2025It's Friday. Annie is spent, Brady seems sharp. Johnny is on the board.

Most notably, this includes F9 which also happens to be his architecture firm with a focus on sustainable living, which is he started right here in Longmont. Lance also claims multiple pages of Google results, though we forgot to ask how many of those he owns or founded. On top of that, he runs a successful podcast about architecture.

Boy, we really need to do some kind of roundup, because there's a heap of openings, closings, and sales. About those openings, we've also got Chef Larry who is currently building out Red Cedar Bistro, a Mediterranean restaurant on Main. He's set to open in the next few months, and I can tell you after our chat we left hungry.

It's another episode dedicated to Longmont (mostly). Some said it couldn't be done! Other's said it shouldn't be done! Well, they did it. Today, Annie and Brady are joined by a large black curtain that seems to confuse them both. They also offer the latest on Winchell's, and little "irrational" humor (as this is a pi-based math joke, it's VERY little humor.)

Like, we had a real audience and they listened and even said they liked it. So that was a nice change. What was it about? Uh, well, Annie has a drink and bares it all! She's got HEAPS of gossip about old town. She also provides an update about Longmont's swingers community (yes, for real). And speaking of swingers, we are also joined by the voice of episodes past. It's a, uh, real SPIRITED episode!

(And, Annie warms a seat at the back of the class!) Then, we talk REAL sweets stuff... massive redevelopment plans at the Sugar Mill. (*groan* that's not very good.) Charlie Woolley has a HUGE update about what's is planned over there. It's... actually super informative?

Do they include some of the lesser-thought-of bodily fluids? Also, are carpet cleaners dramatically underpaid?
Oh and we actually talk about Longmont from time to time, too.

Meaning, there will be football in Boulder. It seems like kind of a big deal and people are worried about traffic. We bring it up because we hear the coach, "Mr. Prime," bought a house in Longmont. Or, at least the house is near Longmont so the news seems relevant. Don't worry, Brady's not trying to find out where this guy lives or be weird. But as you can tell this podcast will dive deep into the rivalry and legend of college ball. Also, Annie likes going to the office...2023-09-0842 minSideDish LongmontCold Off The PressesThis week Annie and Brady explore Longmont's JUICIEST news! Seriously, this podcast has never been juicier, not even when we mention that seafood place - you know... the one with "juicy" in its name. It might have something to do with the guest Robyn Knowlan, owner of one of Longmont's newest (healthiest) beverage bars - Wonder Press! Join us for for all the (juicy) details and for a healthy amount of sophomoric giggling.
Thanks for Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music!2023-08-2554 minSideDish LongmontBig Hairy DealThis week, Annie and Brady learn that Longmont has a real contender in the 2023 USA Mullet Championship. Come to think of it, this week Annie and Brady learn that the 2023 Mullet Championship is even a thing. Also, there’s some WONDERFULLY JUICY news about the (former!) Ziggy’s location on Francis. And then there’s the cultural phenomenon that is BARBENHEIMER. What even is it? Why even is it? Who knows, man.
Completely unrelated, this week’s vocabulary word is “portmanteau.”

Today, Annie and Brady are joined by Lauren (Wren) Stapleton of the Wolf and Wren - which is called a “greeting card shop” by google maps. But holy cow is it more than that. She bribes the hosts with some incredibly charming paper products, and BOY does it work. I even got one with a dog holding a “thank you” sign. Adorable. Uh… Listen now!

Why the secrets - what is she hiding? We may never know. Maybe a well orchestrated email campaign could break the silence? For the moment, it remains a mystery. All we really know is that she’s dropping balls. Just dropping them everywhere. There’s too many balls. Why does she have so many? Nobody knows. Oh, and we drop the big restaurant news we've been teasing.

What can we say, sometimes people are gluttons for abuse… and sometimes heavy sedatives really are the answer. And YES, we’re still talking about Longmont. Of course, context is everything. And if you want context, you should maybe join Annie and Brady (and guest Jack Bestall). There’s also some talk about road danger and development, and it wouldn’t be a SideDish episode without a little traffic talk.

And, boy, do we go hard on dishes and dishing. Wait, we’re saying, “dish” way too much now aren’t we. See, it was supposed to be a play on Naomi’s EXTENSIVE restaurant knowledge (like holy crap), and also on “dishing” gossip. Jokes are at their best when you have to explain them, right?

Well, today, Annie and Brady get Boyd's circuitous story that starts, strangely enough, with competitive waterskiing. As expected, it winds through laminates, fortune building, BASE jumping, jetbikes, and brain cancer. So, why DID Boyd decide to go with, "Jetpack Stickers?" You'll have to hear the whole story from him.

Though, maybe we should call him "King Keefe" for how much he talks about "the throne." Maybe it's a missed opportunity. Too much? Ah, well, it didn't seem to be too much for him (or any of us) at the time. Don't worry, it's not all potty references, some of them are just regular ol' pot references.

Join us to learn why the library is the perfect spot for a date and to hear some (extremely) strained metaphors about seeds, tomatoes, and dating.
