Nice Pull!

In this weepy, wacky, wildly nostalgic Father’s Day edition of Nice Pull!, Jeff and Chris take a slow, emotional walk down Memory Lane—and trip face-first into the pop culture coffeetable.

The episode opens with a launch into an equal-parts hilarious and heartfelt tribute to TV dads, awkward father-son ballads, and why Dick Van Patten may be the human equivalent of a mayonnaise sandwich.

Along the way, they:

Tearfully dissect dad-co...

The boys are older, tireder, and fully committed to squeezing every last nostalgic drop from their Gen-X brains—so naturally, this week they’re ogling their prepubescent crushes while pretending it’s an academic discussion.

Jeff and Chris crack open the ol' liquor cabinet to reveal the final, bloody JAWS 50th Anniversary score (spoiler: one of them is still bitter about Star Trek trivia). Then they take a deep, reverent dive...

Jeff and Chris crack open the Nice Pull! liquor cabinet and, instead of expired Zima or a 7-inch from Loggins & Messina, they find Kids in the Hall legend Kevin McDonald inside — reprising his role as Sir Simon Milligan, emissary of darkness and Costco prophet of doom. He drops predictions about canine world leaders, facial hair extinction, and his own fear of a rescue dog named Alaska. Just another Monday in hell.

But this epis...

In this historic 60th episode, Jeff and Chris do what any self-respecting podcast would do to celebrate a major milestone: they use AI to de-age themselves into toddlers and open the show as actual 3-year-olds and seem shockingly composedfor children who have likely just discovered their toes.

Then the episode spirals into a beautiful midlife crisis as the duo laments all the futuristic promises of their youth that never arrived: bu...

Jeff and Chris summon the spirit of late-night paranoia, alien abduction, and 1970s cinema trauma—only to have actual cult film royalty Malcolm freaking McDowell crawl out of the Moloko Cabinet like a Droog in heat.

That’s right. The Clockwork Orange legend crashes the podcast, drops Kubrick-flavored chaos, mocks Jeff’s best friend arson attempt, and gently roasts the show for being “ridiculously boring.” It's the highest honor ...

Episode 58 is a red-hot blast of overheated projectors, childhood propaganda films, and board games that taught us nothing but trust issues. Jeff flashes back to I Am Joe’s Heart, a short film that accidentally invented medical anxiety in children, while Chris relives the sweaty pressure of threading a film strip like a bomb tech in a polyester vest. The boys debate whether Mouse Trap was a game or just an elaborate toy-based lie, ...

In a twist no one saw coming—mainly because no one thought to ask—Episode 57 delivers a new first in AI scoring that’s so inconceivable, Chris uses the “H” word.  But that’s just the hors d'oeuvre. The real entrée? A forensic look at The Piña Colada Song, revealing a couple so emotionally constipated they need print classifieds to cheat on each other—only to accidentally fall in love again through mutual infidelity and tropical...

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 bound...

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 ti...

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 th...

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. ...

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 ...

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 m...
