Episode 19 Aaron Meade
b'12/10/19 Our guest on this episode was Aaron Meade. Hailing from just outside the city of Cork in the great country of Ireland, Aaron is the first guest we have had on the show who was not actually recording with us in person. Go us for utilizing technology! We started the show with Jacob telling the story of how he and Aaron got acquainted (specifically how Jacob ignored Aaron for a year) and then all of us recapping our weekends, including Jake and Jacob going to the Rams/Seahawks game and interesting travel stories (0:00-15:18). Then, we introduce the first event in From Bob\'s Office history: "Jake vs Ham", this Friday at 1 pm. (15:18-22:40). From there we talk about the football weekend. We start with Packers/Redskins, but get go on an age tangent and Jacob tells the story of how he almost made the Clippers Summer League team once. We get back on track looking at playoff scenarios, Jameis Winston, and the final college playoff rankings (22:40-41:17). Then we briefly cover Lakers/Timberwolves in basketball, and the Stephen Strasburg/Gerrit Cole/new pitching rule topics in baseball (41:17-47:45). We finally turn our attention specifically to Aaron and hear about his already lengthy ultimate frisbee resume, and do a little comparison of Irish ultimate culture to American ultimate culture (47:45-1:09:43). From there we shifted into overall sport culture in Ireland, including the incredible-looking sports of Gaelic football and hurling and the emergence of American football, and Aaron\'s personal interests in American sports (1:09:43-1:34:15). After that we drifted a little into Ireland\'s popular culture, a bit about the country\'s history and celebrations (practically every day is "a reason to drink"), and the upcoming tradition, "12 Pubs of Christmas" (1:34:15-1:49:07). Then we got to talk about Aaron\'s family, what his parents do for a living and how he dealt with them splitting up when he was fairly young (1:49:07-1:58:10). Our last topic involved a very complicated explanation of the education system in Ireland, Aaron\'s unorthodox journey through it, how it compares to the American education system, and what the future looks like for him (1:58:10-2:18:45). We ended the show with Jake asking a couple of his patented fun questions, leading to an explanation of a ridiculous mountain goat fair (2:18:45-2:34;39). \\n\\nWe are incredibly excited to share this episode with you, and are really looking forward to having Micah Bournes on Thursday and "Jake vs Ham" on Friday. Stay tuned!'
