Nice Pull!
Suicidal Ponies, Female Vigilantes, and the 70s Song Lyrics we Loved to Hate
Brace yourselves, vinyl survivors, for a sentimental sucker punch wrapped in polyester and sealed with a tear-stained K-Tel sticker. This week, Jeff and Chris go deep into a genre of music best described as “AM Gold Meltdown”: overwrought epics where ghost horses roam the plains of confusion, dads are emotionally unavailable and terrible at parenting, and Southern justice is dealt out by corrupt judges and armed siblings with boundary issues. These are the songs your parents slow-danced to while chain-smoking and silently wondering if happiness was real.Along the way, we ponder essential questions like: Can two full...

Metric Mayhem, Big League Trauma, and Jeff's Secret Library Affair
This week on Nice Pull!, Jeff and Chris stumble on a metric system PSA that begged America to take 10 minutes and just learn what a goddamn gram is. From there, it’s a chaotic spiral into shredded gum-based nightmares and the slow, sad death of Encyclopedia Britannica as it got body-slammed by the Internet.Along the way, you’ll learn how Jeff lost his heart in a library, why candy manufacturers were hellbent on turning kids into tiny tobacco addicts, and which forgotten teen idol accidentally handed Chris a win. Oh, and if you ever ate something that...

Lightbulb Cakes, Tiger Beat Crushes, and the CIA Training Simulator for Girls
Jeff and Chris go full slumber party as they deep dive into the girlhood trenches of the '70s and '80s. We're talkin’ teen idols, Easy-Bake foolery, and a board game that trains future stalkers. There's yelling, there's shame, and there's a Donny Osmond lunchbox—because of course there is.Things spiral fast as “Uniden” gets name-dropped like it's a Bond villain, fake cake gets served hotter than a super nova, and AI watches from the shadows, judging us all. There's also a heartfelt request for listener trauma stories involving molten (brownie-like) objects and rejected calls on fake...

Frozen Dinners, Scented Seduction, and yet another Doll from Hell
What starts as a harmless Target run quickly spirals into full-blown madness, complete with questionable dinner options, aggressively nostalgic fashion, and a demonic giggle that would make David Lynch proud.Along the way, Chris and Jeff uncover lost relics of 70s and 80s advertising that probably should’ve stayed buried, relive personal traumas involving denim shorts and capes, and expose the deeply suspicious agenda of toy cows. Also: someone might get emotionally manipulated by perfume. Or a doll. Or both.It’s another round of absurdity, and utter nonsense—exactly the way you like it.

Talking Cars, Wonder Woman vs. Isis, and that time Chris and Jeff met a Sleestak
Jeff and Chris kick things off with a casual meditation on talking dune buggies, then spiral into a kaleidoscopic freakout of animated fever dreams, including sexually confused antique cars, kung-fu dogs, and post-Jaws PR rehab sharks (Jabberjaw,we're looking at you).But wait—just when your brain has almost melted, they summon Portland’s very own Sleestak, Brent Marr, a man who built a movie-quality lizard suit just to terrify elevator passengers and make Gen X dreams come true. They bond over terrifying stop-motion creatures, Sleestak lore, and the spiritual nirvana of watching Land of the Lost whil...

Whisky Bottle Guitars, "Remon" Pies, and the World's Greatest Toothpaste Aphrodisiac
Jeff and Chris plunge headfirst into the baffling, unhinged world of vintage commercials. From the seductive promises of Ultra Bright toothpaste (because nothing says romance like fluoride) to a deeply uncomfortable trip into a rainforest, no ad is safe from their scrutiny. They tackle everything from politically incorrect “Remons” to a deeply unsettling PSA about instant milk—because, as it turns out, you can just... add milk to milk? Who knew?Of course, no Nice Pull! episode would be complete without the AI overlords scoring their obscure pop culture references,proving once again that Jeff and Chris are ei...

Attack of the Red-Headed Vixens, Killer Kites, and that time Nice Pull! became a Video Podcast
Nice Pull! Episode 50 - Now With Video!Jeff and Chris are officially on camera, and the world will never be the same. In this inaugural video episode, they take a deep, ridiculous dive into the public service announcements (PSAs) that shaped (or traumatized) our childhoods. From nightmare-inducing fire prevention ads featuring seductive redheads, to cautionary tales about kite strings—yes, kite strings—they unravel the bizarre world of vintage social messaging. Also on deck: a horrifically mis-worded diet supplement ad, a war against pay television, and the forgotten crime wave of car antenna vandalism (yes, that was apparently a thing).Betw...

Paul is Dead, Mr. Rogers’ Dark Secret, and that time Chris and Jeff Played an Album Backwards
Yet another auditory descent into the labyrinth of misinformation, where childhood rumors reign supreme, and logic is left crying in a corner! Chris and Jeff unearth the unhinged origins of some of history’s dumbest, most bizarre urban legends—from the infamous “Paul is Dead” debacle that had 12-year-olds playing records backward like deranged vinyl wizards, to the chilling truth (?) about Mr. Rogers’ alleged secret past. Along the way, they crack the case of “The Beaver’s” fake demise, revisit the feverish hunt for an immortal Elvis, and confirm that Eddie Haskell was probably not a porn star. Oh, and for the grand fi...

The Dawn of Shopping Malls, the Mysterious Heather Thomas, and that time Chris Bought a Baptismal Certificate from an Adult Bookstore
What starts as a casual discussion about malls quickly mutates into an unhinged, spiral through the sacred rituals of ‘80s adolescence. Marvel as Chris and Jeff take on the unmatched power of an Orange Julius, and undeniable importance of meeting a girl at Sam Goody. But hold on—there’s more! A deep confession about a fraudulent baptismal certificate, a wild detour into the mafia-like mysteries of mall piano stores, and Heather Thomas makes multiple appearances for reasons unclear, yet entirely necessary. Also, somewhere in all this madness, they stumble upon the single greatest contribution the shopping mall ever made to hum...

SNL’s 50th Birthday, Celebrities we Never Knew were Funny, and that time Jeff got Arrested for Driving a Fake Cop Car
Grown men dressed as Bees, Samurai Chefs, a Church Lady, and yes, “Violins on Television.” This episode is a caffeine-fueled spiral into the history of SNL, where Jeff and Chris relive the shock, the awe, and the sheer lunacy of staying up past bedtime to witness the birth of comedic legends. They also take a hard look at the performers who shocked the world by actually being funny, get unnecessarily angry at random celebrities, and recount a totally normal story about a car, the cops, and a judge who was not prepared for The Blues Brothers. If you’ve ever yelled...

Vintage Valentine Cards, Extinct Holidays, and The Dawn of ATM’s
Jeff and Chris tackle the high-stakes arena of Valentine’s Day, where overpriced candy is the currency of love, and office cubicles become gladiator pits for public romantic flexing. From the horrifying reality of middle-aged men wandering into Victoria’s Secret to the lawless frontier of 80s banking, they uncover shocking truths: Was Wells Fargo just Disneyland with worse rides? Did we all just accept that security cameras in the 80s were filming pure static? And how did we survive a time when getting cash required human interaction and a pocket-sized novel called a "passbook"? Also, Jeff is losing debit card...

Prepare for a wild ride through comedy history, high school nostalgia, and near-death experiences—both personal and comedic as Jeff and Chris welcome Dante, a veteran comedian with a resume that includes Last Comic Standing, directing movies and commercials, and winning more BET Awards than any other comic. Dante shares incredible stories about sneaking into the Comedy Store as a teen, and giving Jamie Foxx his first shot at stand-up when he was still Eric Bishop. The conversation veers into the chaos of '80s and '90s comedy clubs, encounters with celebrities like Sam Kinison, Richard Pryor, and Gene Si...

Cool and Cruel Baby Names, Mysterious Houses, and Why Jeff Never Wears Velour Shirts
Ever wonder why Jennifer ruled the ‘80s like a baby-naming dictatorship? Or why Zeppelin and Shark are now roaming kindergarten classrooms? Jeff and Chris navigate the bizarre world of names—the good, the bad, and the downright WTF? Other gems from this episode include:🔥 The horrors of Cucumber Day—aka when kindergarten turned into a splatter film 🥒💥🔥 Why Gladys, Bertha, and Agatha were just bad parenting choices 👵🔥 Group projects: Where dreams (and friendships) go to die 📚🔥🔥 The mysterious dried beets kid—you can smell him just thinking about it 🤢 And of course, the eternal lesson: If you name your kid Gandalf, you better be ready to commit

Classic Bands that Still Sound Great, Classic Bands that Should Just Stay Home, and the Celebrity Musician that Chris Likes to Hang Out With at Costco
In this episode of NICE PULL!, Chris and Jeff delve into the strange, sometimes tragic world of aging rockstars who refuse to hang it up. From legendary frontmen still clinging to their glory days (sometimes literally) to tribute bands so good they trigger an identity crisis, the guys tackle the big question: When does a band stop being a band? Along the way, Chris shares a Costco encounter that defies all logic and somehow, Elvis Costello catches a stray. Will they finally give Fleetwood Mac the respect they deserve? Did Steve Perry make the right call dodging Disneyland crowds instead...
