Off the Clock w/Jon Eks
Podcast Description
My name is Jon Eks and I spent more than a decade talking to people about work on the award-winning Jon of All Trades Podcast. I’m sick of talking about work. I want to talk about everything else in our lives. Men are traditionally not good at this. So, I’m talking to people I love, respect, and admire. I’m trying to embody the axiom “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Expect candor, vulnerability, profanity, and a wide range of topics.

On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my friend Jeff, a wine enthusiast, the person I text the most with about the Nuggets and The King of Thornton. Here’s some of what we talk about:
First question: Who is your favorite Denver Nugget and why is it LaPhonso Ellis?
- is Jeff introverted? no, he just doesn’t care. let him explain.
- trying to describe wine without sounding like a pretentious douche – although we were drinking out of crystal, so idk
- a whole bunch of Denver Metro nostalgia featuring Thornton, Englewood, Applewood, and Arvada
- the self-assuredness to even do a podcast, much less do it successfully
- what percentage of each of the two of us is gay. the proportions might surprise you.
- why growing up when he did was the worst time to grow up and realize you’re gay.
- Karl Malone vs John Starks (or remembering some guys) (or how our 90s basketball taste differs)
- how many Jeffs we have in our lives, how it seems to be dying out and what the names are like now
- more music obsession including deep cuts from Bob Dylan, Frampton Comes Alive!, “Take It On the Run” by REO Speedwagon and more
- Bill Simmons (again), hating self-promotion, and selling out.
Find Jeff at his shows CSG Podcast and The GenX Show.
