Miller Morning Madhouse - A SoCool Podcast Joint

Episode 7 – The Trashy Sledding Hill…

A micro-dose of winter chaos, childhood stupidity, and the kind of “holiday magic” you only get when you grow up sledding on a hill decorated with leftover car parts and questionable life choices.

Jerry, Josh, and Jen take a downhill trip through their childhood sledding memories — from exploding inner tubes to metal-blade death sleds to the shocking revelation of what Pancake and his brother used to stash in the sewer pipe for “reading” breaks. Jen defends garbage-bag sledding, Josh questions her citizenship, and Pancake unveils the lost art of sledding-an...

🎙️ Episode 6: Jen Likes Pies…

The crew dives fork-first into the holiday season with a full spread of Thanksgiving and Christmas classics — turkey, ham, beef roasts, deviled eggs, fudge, lasagna, fruitcakes that go straight to the trash, and enough cream pies to send Jerry into a spiritual awakening.

Jen confesses to liking all the pies, Josh defends the honor of Mama Scramble’s donuts, and Jerry relives the trauma of a pecan-less pecan pie. From sugary goo to chocolate meringue, the Madhouse celebrates (and insults) every dish that ever graced a Midwestern holiday table.

It’s c...

🎙️ Day 5 – No One Likes Your Christmas Story

Miller Morning Madhouse Audio Advent Calendar

Today’s miniature meltdown centers on the crew’s most loved — and most violently hated — Christmas movies. Jen Pancake declares open war on nearly every holiday film ever made, and her Christmas anger grows by the minute. Scramble defends Elf with religious passion, Pancake unleashes a full-volume rant about A Christmas Story, and the gang debates whether Die Hard is the greatest Christmas movie or not even a Christmas movie at all.

🎙️ Day 4 – Here Comes Santa Claus
Miller Morning Madhouse Audio Advent Calendar

Today’s episode is a nostalgic sleigh ride through the exact moment each of the Madhouse crew discovered the truth about Santa Claus — and how that moment shaped the chaotic Christmas adults they eventually became.

Jen Pancake realized the truth at age three or four, thanks to her legendary snooping skills and her mom’s dangerously disorganized closet full of shoes and poorly hidden toys. Scramble found out the classic way — a loudmouth kid at school ruined it — though he still believed hard enough to miss bl...

🎙️ Episode 3 — Black Friday
Miller Morning Madhouse Audio Advent Calendar

It’s December 3rd, and the holiday chaos continues as Pancake, Scramble, and Jen dive headfirst into the retail hellscape known as Black Friday — a day Jen Pancake absolutely despises at a molecular level.

The episode kicks off with Pancake accidentally channeling Grandma Pancake’s racism, Scramble confessing he used to work at the Southlake Mall Disney Store, and Jen explaining how Black Friday used to be normal before corporations decided to weaponize doorbusters and 6AM reward coupons.

Scramble reveals that back in the Disney St...

🎙️ Episode 2: Saved By The Bells

It's Day 2 of the Miller Morning Madhouse Audio Advent Calendar, and Scramble has officially hit his holiday limit.
 Not with shopping crowds. Not with Mariah Carey.
 Nope — with the Salvation Army bell ringers.

Apparently, the non-stop ding-ding-ding outside the grocery store has driven him to the edge of Yuletide sanity.
Pancake, being the problem-SOLVER (not causer) that he is, proposes a brilliant solution:
➡️ What if the bell ringers were actually Holiday DJs?
Like DJ Marshmallow — but festive. With snow. And Grandma dancing.

Picture this...

From the snowy shores of Miller Beach comes the first-ever Miller Morning Madhouse Advent Calendar — a daily December podcast event filled with festive chaos, emotional baggage, muppet-style storytelling, and more holiday drama than a Frankfort HOA meeting.

🎙️ Episode 1: Grandma Got Run Over by a Burro
It’s 1978 in Blue Island, Illinois. Little Jerry Pancake, wearing his Mister Rogers clip-on tie and an excessive level of enthusiasm, belts out Feliz Navidad at the Lincoln School Holiday Concert. The problem? The neighborhood wasn't emotionally or culturally ready for José Feliciano.

Jerry sang. Grandma raged.
Dad panicked.<...

🎙️ Episode: Cabo Makeover Meltdown – The Pancake House Transformation

After a long, chaotic travel day home from Cabo — complete with circling O’Hare, a trash-filled Uber piloted by a man on Jesus music and edibles, and the kind of exhaustion that reshapes your soul — Pancake walks into the surprise of a lifetime: a full HGTV-style home makeover engineered by Leslie Lattes, Jen Dancin, and Sandy Strawberry Shortcake.

Meanwhile, Scramble recounts his own personal hell: being drafted into the technical nightmare of removing the TV from the fireplace, re-mounting it, managing the world’s flimsiest Samsung frame bezel, hooking...

🎙️ Episode: Miller All-Stars & The Cabo Third Wheel Disaster

Jerry returns from Cabo with a tale of pure airline suffering — trapped in the middle seat between a couple who treated Row 18 like a honeymoon suite. Meanwhile, back home in Miller Beach, Jen Pancake and Josh Scramble are honored by the Miller Beach Citizens Corporation as this year’s Miller All-Stars for their community impact. Jerry is proud. Jerry is supportive. Jerry is also extremely bored.

Plus: cake mishaps, inflatable movie chaos, golf outing conspiracy theories, and what happens when you try to throw Miller-style celebrations with absolutel...

🎙️ Episode: Miller Hall of Shame – Mr. Loud Music Boat Guy

 A bonus beach day turns chaotic when Boat Guy rolls up blasting music loud enough to scare seagulls off the breakwall. Jerry, Josh & Jenny break down the noise, the nerves, and why Miller Beach deserves a volume limit — plus previews of the Miller All-Stars honors and the Pancake House Makeover.

The Marshall J.

We relive the near-riot over Smash Mouth, crown “Sticks and Dicks” as Favorite Wrong Answer for Kubb (aka Viking chess), salute a heroic bar tab, and issue a PSA: subscribe, scan the giant QR, and don’t beach-bomb two feet from our towels.

🎙️ Episode Title: First Cars & Kinda-For-Sale Dreams

In this very special episode of Miller Morning Madhouse, Jerry Pancake finally spills the (motor) oil on true stories he’s never shared before—his legendary first cars. Buckle up for tales of a wobbly Karmann Ghia and a 1977 Cutlass Supreme so massive it needed its own zip code. These are the rides that started it all—and yes, we’re talking about the IROC-Z too. It’s still around. It’s still loud. And it’s kinda for sale (if you’re cool).

🎸 S2E2 – You Can’t Get There from Here

In this episode of Miller Morning Madhouse, Jerry Pancake and Jen Pancake stay safely behind the mic while Josh Scramble returns from the Sonic Temple Music Festival with tales of glory, grit, and gastrointestinal distress.

What starts as a music review quickly unravels into a cautionary tale about rideshare disasters, rickshaw salvation, and why you should never trust a festival porta-potty after dark. Josh recounts the madness of 100-band lineups, questionable fashion choices (bondagewear in the sun?!), and the existential despair of trying to find your Uber wh...

🎧 Season 2, Episode 1: Heavy Uncles, Moshpits, and Goth Tits
Welcome back to the Miller Morning Madhouse, where the coffee’s burnt, the guests are unpaid, and the FCC hasn’t figured out how to shut us down yet. Pancake and Scramble are back in the saddle (and in serious need of a nap), joined by the fabulous Jen Pancake and our man in the pit—Josh Scramble—who just survived Sonic Temple Music Festival with only minor bruising and one mysterious stain.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into:

🎙️ Episode 10: Deny, Defend, Depose

🧑‍⚖️ "Somebody ate the evidence."

In this legal-thriller-turned-80s-gamer throwback, Jerry Pancake finds himself in the hot seat—literally—being deposed for reasons he may or may not understand. But things take a turn when a mysterious someone eats the only piece of evidence. (No spoilers, but it may have involved nacho cheese.)

Between dodging legal jargon and blaming his attorney, Pancake takes a nostalgic detour back to the pixelated days of the Mario Brothers, exploring the real question: Was Princess Peach worth all that jumping? Spoiler: Not when there’s a warp pip...

Episode 9: Everything Sucks Now… 🎙️

🚨 DOUBLE EPISODE ALERT! 🚨
After a long hiatus filled with illness, burnout, and an overwhelming sense of being over it, Jerry Pancake and the Miller Morning Madhouse crew are back with a nearly double-length episode (41 minutes of pure, unfiltered truth).

In this episode, we catch up on what we’ve been up to the last couple of months, and most importantly, we break down why travel—specifically flying—absolutely sucks now.
