Join Alyssa, Jake, Jeffrey, Jordy, and Kaleb as they look back on 2022 with NSR's annual Year In Review trivia game. Will the returning champ, Jordy, maintain his throne or will former champ Kaleb come back to the title he didn't get to defend in our 2021 episode? Or perhaps Alyssa or Jeffrey will rise to the challenge. Listen in and reflect on 2022 as we quiz ourselves over anything related to 2022.

This episode's topic is microwaves, a common household item but do you know how it actually heats your food?

#24. Game 10: Guess Who 3!

Jake and Jordan square off in another game of Guess Who. The theme this time is real people (again).
On a side note, we apologize for the unusually long delay between episodes! It has been an interesting past two months for us all, with work, school, and home life introducing plenty of entropy into our lives. We aren't done with NSR, just busy. I hope you are all keeping warm and are looking forward to celebrating the holidays, as am I.

#13. The Belated Thanksgiving Episode

#13. The Belated Thanksgiving Episode

Luke and Jake talk Thanksgiving on break, sitting down to ask and answer some hard questions such as who among the crew would make the best Thanksgiving spread, who Luke would choose to spend the holiday with in the future, and more! We also not-so-subtly plug sailing, give Star Wars predictions, and share our Song of the Week. Also, Jake is the rat guy. But most perhaps most important of all, Jake FINALLY learned how to use a compressor and limiter while editing the podcast! What this means: not having to listen to the podcast on MAX volume, hopefully. Woot.

#12. Jeffrey and Jake Take The Stage

This week, the original old dogs Jake and Jeffrey talk facts of the day, Angola, the root of all evil, band names, and Ikea, where they sell you the best budget furniture money can buy and meatballs. What is the most underrated instrument, if not banjo? This is also a call to action: meet us at Riot Fest next summer, and then Tomorrowland after that. Jake is also working on his standup comedy routine. Also, if you haven’t had basil ice cream yet… what are you waiting for?

Jake Gyllenhaal looks like Ryan Reynolds: conspiracy or fact? Let us know so we can end finally Jordan and JZ's ongoing debate! Podcast Email: thenorthshorecrew@gmail.com

#10b. Game 4: Behind the Scenes

#10b. Game 4: Behind the Scenes

In this shorter bonus clip, I (Jake) have strung together a few clips from the recording of the last rendezvous because I didn't want to extend the length of the main episode, but I also wanted to save the BTS chatter between the group and so here is something a little different. In particular, we explain what the Wimbleton is, Michaela shares some of the stories from our adventures at our sailing club, and she reveals who among us she thinks is the most likely to have heart problems.

#7. Animals and Space

#7. Animals and Space

The old dogs host this rendezvous as Jake and JZ take a break, reclining back for a while as they talk about animals and what they think about space exploration. The takeaway; don’t ruin the garden for the aliens and does it have to be a wooden door. Also, is that another one of JZ’s famous burps I hear in the background?
