    Ep37: Nick honors George Washington Carver; Evelyn might require her Epi-Pen.

    Episode 45 begins with Nick bringing an actual American icon to the table: George Washington Carver, scientific genius, agricultural legend, and longtime cornerstone of Nick's mother's first-grade curriculum. Nick explains how his mother’s students carefully copied “George Washington Carver” from the board, then absolutely freelanced the word “peanuts” into something far less classroom-safe. A tribute to innovation quickly becomes a transitional first grade disasterpiece. Evelyn, unfortunately, is severely allergic to peanuts, which leads to a moving deathbed monologue in which she thanks Mr. Carver for his contributions while gently asking whether he ever considered almonds (a nut she can enjoy). The conversation takes a sharp right, a sharp left, and almost lands in the ditch as, for the first time in Reverse Jackass history, Nick and Evelyn try on 3 different question prompts before landing on one that Evelyn has the brain power left to answer.  Somehow Canadian Tire’s Frank mascot enters the conversation as Canada’s possible answer to George Washington Carver. Let's just agree that the peanut lives on. Frank’s gummies do not. And who the heck even knows where we are on the diplomacy-o-meter anymore...

    Ep36: Evelyn uses whimsy as a ladder out of the pit; Nick still believes in fast food and good weather.

    Today on the RJP, Evelyn crawls out of a real-life pit of despair the least dramatic way possible: one small choice at a time. It starts with a last-minute manicure, turns into a “whimsy audit,” and becomes a full-on experiment in seeing her current life through the eyes of younger Evelyn. Tiny, practical proof that the story isn’t just “sad,” even when it feels like it. Nick jumps in with his own “younger me would never believe this” list. They talk about the weird tenderness of aging: how weather stops being romantic and starts being…joint pain and headaches, and how what feels “cool” shifts from big milestones to tiny comforts that keep you afloat. The moral of the story is: If your side of the border feels heavy right now, borrow a little ridiculous joy from your neighbo(u)r. Even if it’s just a manicure you can’t stop staring at.

    Ep35: Nick couldn’t write the essay; Evelyn couldn’t do the math.

    Episode 35 is coming alive! Nick gets dragged to the front of the class and told—loudly, publicly, spiritually—that his essay is garbage and his future is bleak. So he does what any reasonable teen would do: recruits the smartest girl in school, rewrites the whole thing, and somehow makes it worse.  Evelyn, meanwhile, was not a problem in high school...but math absolutely was. She thrived in the arts, but her relationship with math was hostile at best, and entire evenings were sacrificed at the kitchen table trying to make sense of something that simply refused to be understood. Add in some eerily calm teachers who could maneuver a classroom with one sentence, and others who absolutely should’ve retired mid-rant, and you’ve got the full educational experience between Canada and the United States.

    Ep34: Evelyn hosts a cross-border pronunciation quiz; Nick derails it with “funky butt loving.”

    Evelyn and Nick open with a “redemption episode” after a lost-to-the-vault recording session, and immediately decide the healthiest possible reset is… publicly daring each other to apologize via email. It’s petty. It’s theatrical. It’s Reverse Jackass. Then Evelyn brings a podcast idea suggested by their mutual friend Alyse (SHOUTOUT TO ALYSE)  and puts Nick on the spot with a delicately curated list of words. Nick, naturally, responds with equal parts linguistic smugness and chaos energy, and somehow we end up with the phrase “funky butt loving” entering the chat like a fresh-out-of-hibernation brown bear staggering into an Erewhon. In conclusion: we may not pronounce things the same, but we do share a sacred cultural value… arguing confidently about pronunciation while being completely unqualified to do so. And confident arguing is the foundation of, not only Nick and Evelyn's friendship, but also of the Reverse Jackass podcast.

    Ep33: Nick's watch costs more than your car; Evelyn gives the pep talk nobody asked for.

    Nick kicks things off by assigning Evelyn the sacred American homework of watching Alec Baldwin’s “Always Be Closing” monologue, then immediately demands she create a music-teacher version of ABC. Evelyn responds with “Ask Before Closing,” a classroom law designed to prevent busted guitars, busted routines, and busted early-exit dreams. From there, we get a full hallway-justice saga: one student tries to sneak out early, Evelyn tracks him down in the cafeteria like a woman possessed, and the whole class gets the deeply satisfying return of Scott to the scene of the crime. It’s discipline, theatre, and asset protection, all wrapped into one very sweaty high school music room. Meanwhile, America contributes David Mamet, emotional violence, and the phrase “coffee is for closers,” while Canada contributes classical guitars, weaponized patience, and a teacher who absolutely will come down the stairs after you.  Peace between nations? Maybe not. But at least nobody dropped the guitar.

    Ep32: Evelyn chases the high of childhood joy; Nick hid teeth in the M&M's.

    Evelyn brings three oddly perfect moments to the table: flying behind a tractor on a sled as a kid, falling asleep in a flame-decaled PT Cruiser on a beach the day after her wedding, and the pure euphoric justice of watching a reckless driver finally get pulled over by the cops. She (eventually) lands at the question: what feeling would you bottle and keep forever? Nick’s answer takes a few glorious detours, including wisdom teeth hidden in a bag of M&Ms, an accidental candy-color rigging incident, and one exquisitely satisfying college theatre moment when a smug scene partner gets corrected in front of everyone after brushing him off.  A cross-border reminder that whether you’re on a sled in Ontario, or driving a moving van across the country with a friend in the U.S., it's safe to say that the story we never stop retelling often contains strange memories, big feelings, and the sweet, sweet thrill of a perfectly timed win.

    Ep31: Nick out-narcs the defense lawyer; Evelyn breaks down snow day politics.

    Nick learns the hard way that you should never say “Where’s a cop when you need one?” out loud, because the universe will take it as a legally binding request. A pair of cars are street racing, a head-on crash happens, and Nick becomes an accidental teen narc. Months later he's still dealing with court continuances, missed school, and a defense lawyer who tries to gaslight him in the waiting room. Evelyn follows with a passionate explanation of snow days: the pure dopamine of “no kids are coming” (especially when you haven’t left the house yet), the thrill of checking the predictor site, and the sacred rite of texting every teacher friend like it’s Christmas morning. But the wish turns rotten when it’s a Friday PD day snow day, aka “Congrats, you got the day off… except you didn’t, and you also lost your prep, and now your life is ministry-mandated PowerPoints, three cheers for literacy..." Before you go: we want your best accent attempts. Record a quick voice memo doing your best Canadian accent (if you’re American) or American accent (if you’re Canadian). One sentence with as much chaos as you can cram in there. If you need a prompt, say: “I failed 13th grade and it was a real slap in the bum for my mom.”  Email it to reversejackass@gmail.com and we'll play it on a future episode.

    Ep30: Evelyn OFFICIALLY-officially becomes the Canadian Blade; Nick gives a masterclass in conditional generosity.

    Lordy, Lordy, look who's 30!  Episode 30 of the RJP starts sweet. Evelyn reveals a listener-made Canadian Blade t-shirt, complete with sword-through-maple-leaf imagery, and gives a long-overdue shoutout to Jason J, possibly the most committed Reverse Jackass listener alive. He listens on schedule, renames the group chat after episode jokes, and has now crossed over into podcast folklore. It’s everyone’s dream, and you can’t tell us it’s not. Then Evelyn delivers the prompt, “What is the American standard for gift giving?” and, because this podcast cannot be normal for even three consecutive minutes, the whole thing careens into a distempered TED-talk about empire, leverage, dependency, and how American “generosity” somehow always arrives wearing steel-toed boots and carrying a battering rampart. Also in the mix: meritocracy becoming Ameritocracy, jazz slander (I'm sorry, Jason J), the Nick Bognar Grammar Hour feat. less vs. fewer, and one more reminder that peace between Canada and the United States is apparently being negotiated by two people who should never be left unsupervised. It’s Reverse Jackass. TEXT US!...and we'll respond, because that's the kind of people we are. ============= Want to get in touch with Nick & Evelyn?  Email them at reversejackass@gmail.com
