Episode 228 - Dalla Dalla Bill Yall

Jabarie is roused out of bed to host his super-sized finale. After tracking down their jet-lagged leader, the gang comes together one last time to bring you tales of Jabarie's trek westward to Denver, a no-holds barred exit interview with the boss himself Marc Ronick, the return of the Brown's Brews Challenge (featuring Colorado beers, of course) and guests a plenty.  If you love getting behind the curtain, this is the show for you.

Thank you for (almost) six years of listening to us babble on about our lives and the world we live in.  We invite you one last time to grab a drink, pull up a chair, and stay awhile...

This was the Jabarie Brown Podcast.

(Originally recorded 2/08/2016) This week the gang discusses what they did (and didn't) do for the Super Bowl and how Jabarie's seemingly random choice of a football team to root for a few years ago makes a lot more sense now. Russell calls everyone out for not responding to texts, but finds out the good fortune that comes when you do.

It's the final episode of our special 3-part series of Jabarie-less Brown Podcasts leading to JB's return for the final JBP on Friday, March 11th.  The voice of the JBP Amy Wolf gives us a peek into the woman behind the sultry tones introducing us every week. Long lost superfan (and occasional assistant producer) Shmob brings us a gift, and reminds of a few we'd like to forget, before catching us up on his exploits since leaving the area.  RELM Network founder and podcasting titan Marc Ronick penciled us in for an interview but I guess we should have asked for pen and ink.  Oh well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.  Maybe next time Marc!  Oh wait...

Next up...the final episode of the Jabarie Brown Podcast.

(originally recorded 1/31/2016) This week the gang rejoices as Jabarie finally got himself some Obamacare! Winter Storm Jonas blew through the DC area leaving a record snowfall in its wake.  We swap war stories from the snow drifts and critique the hysteria that led up to the storm in area grocery stores. Cuddle up by the fire and give us a listen!

(originally recorded on 1-17-2016) It's a week of goodbyes.  Panda says goodbye (just for the episode, calm down, she's back next week), we all say goodbye to an alarming number of celebrities who have passed away during the first few weeks of 2016, and JB continues to prepare for his big move by saying goodbye to everything that he has ever treasured in his entire life (ok, that's a little bit of hyperbole). Nobody likes getting rid of sentimental stuff... except Michael. 

Our second of three Jabarie-less episodes leading to Jabarie's return for the final episode of the JBP on March 11th.  We invite back both Michael's twin brother Chad and listener/friend Ben to the show, a debate from the first episodes of the podcast is finally put to rest, Russell asks the group to pitch him on their new podcasts once the JBP is over, a little bit of JB stayed behind (not to Panda's liking), and of course, more nostalgia is waxed.

(originally recorded on 1/11/2016) We have a blast from the past as our original producer Russell joins the crew again for the final episodes of the JBP.  Speaking of which, Jabarie is moving to Colorado.  Or is he?  JB is getting cold feet.  Russell comes baring gifts, one of which is improving the audio quality of the show.  With only a few episodes left the gang is starting to get nostalgic...well, everyone except for JB's dad and Michael.

Spoiler Alert. If you haven't listened to episode 255, stop right now and go listen.

With Jabarie off to Colorado, Michael begins to steer the captain-less ship back to shore. We peel back the curtain on everything that has been going on the past couple of months and our plans for ending the JBP in a way everyone can enjoy.

In the final hours of 2015, the gang reminisces about the past year and makes some resolutions for 2016.

Then Jabarie drops a bombshell.

Welcome to another episode of the JBP! This week the gang discusses the truth behind Black Friday and Cyber Monday and then gets into a heated discussion about being a real man by being your own boss.
