Bonus 9 - What happens when a podcast host puts his own son in the guest seat? Pure magic. In this heartwarming Memorial Day bonus episode, Jake welcomes his eldest son Josh for a conversation that bridges generations, creative pursuits, and shared family memories.
Josh, who made Jake a father 25 years ago after being born prematurely at just three pounds, has grown into a creative force who now manages his own growing YouTube channel, Tri Nintendo. Their conversation weaves through cherished family traditions—from Wednesday night Survivor viewings paired with Taco Bell (a multi-generational Bushman obsession) to their numerous Disney adventures that actually inspired the concept behind Journey with Jake.
The father-son dynamic shines through as they recall specific memories, like driving up Mount Evans in Colorado and Josh's first encounters with video games at age five ("I'm just so interested in games!"). We witness the beautiful evolution of Josh's gaming passion, which began with borrowed Nintendo consoles from friends and relatives, into his current creative outlet combining gaming insights with his professional design skills.
What makes this episode special is the mutual admiration flowing both ways. Jake expresses pride in Josh's talent and consistency in building his channel to nearly 10,000 subscribers in just five months, while Josh acknowledges learning the value of diligence and hard work from his father. Their rapport reveals how family connections provide the foundation for our individual journeys into new territory.
The conversation concludes with rapid-fire questions covering Josh's favorite Nintendo games, Disney rides, and even his standard Taco Bell order (bean burrito, no onions, extra red sauce and a crunchy taco). When asked what adventure means to him, Josh offers a beautifully simple definition: "something new."
Ready for a feel-good listening experience that celebrates family bonds and creative passion? This father-son conversation delivers exactly that. And don't forget to check out Josh's YouTube channel at @TriNintendo – even if you're not a gaming fan, his creativity and production quality are worth experiencing!
