This week I ramble and reflect on 2021, the holidays and how I got here. I dive into my feelings on capitalism, loss of ambition, not wanting to be a cog in the machine of money-making, and what might be next. Are you feeling overwhelmed with everything that's happened this year? I am too. But it's OK! And I dig into why it's OK, and how I continue to push back against deep seated feelings of insecurity, loneliness and isolation. And I do it all in a way that I can almost promise isn't depressing. But instead, uplifting!! Inshallah.

This week, for the one year anniversary of Tuesdays With Jakey I did an "Ask Me Anything" Some questions include: Whats your proudest moment in life? What do you consider your biggest career success? and Failure? Best show you've ever seen? Best Wetlands memory? How'd you end up in a Gibson Guitars advertisement? And the real whooper - Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

As always, please send feedback / questions / love letters to me 917.443.7615 or @jakerocksoff on Twitter & IG & Snail Mail to PO Box 113, Yellow Pine, ID 83677

This week I went in an exciting new direction! I posted on FB asking for topic ideas about 30 minutes before I sat down to record - and I went through and addressed them all. How I ended up in Yellow Pine, how we get groceries here, what was the first guitar music that affected me, paintings of myself, glitter removal strategies, my best friend Rodney and much much more. That was exceptionally fun as I was reading the ideas in real time so didn't have anything prepped. Will def do this again!

This week I ramble about the origin story of the Unicorn and the Dolphin. Topical this week because I went see Whitney Cummings do standup in Boise, and it all ties together because of her obsession with this tattoo. I also get into why I love to stay at the Cabana Inn in Boise and I detail the dead bodies my boy Hector the Chambermaid has found in rooms 25, 47 and 51!
