  1. Are we doing enough?

    20H AGO

    Are we doing enough?

    It’s the most emotional time of the year. At least according to the internet. In this episode, Jason and Emily talk about why so many holiday videos right now feel designed to make you cry and whether that kind of sentiment actually connects or just feels forced. They discuss the pressure to manufacture meaningful moments, the difference between genuine nostalgia and emotional marketing, and why Christmas content has turned into a competition for tears. They also get into holiday get-togethers, family dynamics, and the expectations that come with them, plus a look back at old Christmas ad campaigns and why they felt different. Funny, honest, and refreshingly grounded, this episode is a breather from the seasonal overload. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  2. Why are people so bad at conversations?

    DEC 17

    Why are people so bad at conversations?

    This episode starts off festive and quickly turns into a surprisingly strong opinion about movies, including a few Christmas favorites you might not expect and a brief but passionate conversation about why some beloved actors just do not hit the same anymore. From there, things take a turn into the real holiday struggle: talking to other humans. We get into why Christmas parties feel so awkward, the subtle conversation habits that quietly ruin a good interaction, and how everyone seems to forget how to talk the moment they’re holding a paper plate of cookies. If you’ve ever left a gathering replaying a conversation in your head or wondering why small talk feels so painful, this one’s for you. Festive, slightly unhinged, and way too honest, this episode is basically a survival guide for holiday conversations with a side of movie opinions you may strongly disagree with.

  3. Emily is IMPOSSIBLE to buy for…

    DEC 10

    Emily is IMPOSSIBLE to buy for…

    Jason and Emily are in full holiday chaos mode and nothing is going according to the Hallmark script. Jason is trying (and failing) to figure out what to buy the woman who hates everything in the “Gifts for Her” section, while Emily has accidentally become the kind of person who takes Christmas parade floats a little too seriously. Somewhere between a live nativity that might just be in the wrong town and a very opinionated rant about what churches are doing with kids these days, they stumble into a surprisingly honest conversation about what actually makes the season feel holy, fun, and not completely unhinged. If you like your Christmas episodes cozy, unfiltered, and a little bit feral, this one is it. 00:00 Christmas Parade Float 08:33 Paducah is BIG TIME 14:44 Family money 15:24 Mayfield…not so big time… 16:37 Bethlehem is amazing! 17:40 Children’s church sure is something… 24:27 Bethlehem continued… 29:19 Emily’s germaphobeness… 35:50 Christmas shopping is hard. 49:02 Having the right tools Sponsors for this episode include: Voetberg Method Experience This month, use my code: CRUNCHY20 to get 20% off each month you’re subscribed.

  4. Jason vs. Emily: The Rule Breaking Debate

    Jason vs. Emily: The Rule Breaking Debate

    Jason has always been the rule breaker, Emily has always been the rule follower. In this episode, they talk about when it actually makes sense to bend or break the rules, and when it is a hard no. From childhood stories and school rules to parenting, speed limits, and “suggested” bedtimes, they explore how to respect authority, use common sense, and teach kids the difference between pointless rules and important ones. 00:00 Bread 05:25 Spiritual Objects 14:12 Trophy for Emily 15:09 Emily’s Public Apology  18:03 Let’s diagnose Emily 21:29 People’s opinion 24:57 Are we bad parents? 27:25 We’re just too messy.  34:03 Breaking the rules… 37:09 Getting pulled over 41:32 Rule breakers 50:19 Rule breakers are innovators 55:52 Good student or bad student? 58:36 Lotto Flower might be right… 1:01:33 Opening a business Sponsors for this episode include:  Voetberg Method Experience This month, use my code: CRUNCHY20 to get 20% off each month you’re subscribed.

    Thanksgiving, Jingle Bells, and the Fall of Civilization

    Jason and Emily kick off Thanksgiving by sharing wild and fascinating facts you can use to wow (or mildly unsettle) your dinner guests, from why “Jingle Bells” was originally a Thanksgiving song to why Snuggies might have been the downfall of society. Along the way, Jason talks about his chaotic childhood Thanksgivings, they rant about why concerts are no longer fun, and things get just a little unhinged in the best possible way. 00:00 Old Science 05:53 Christmas Lights Before Thanksgiving? 08:04 Michael Bublé 13:09 We don’t like concerts… 15:21 Jason’s family 20:00 The Downfall of Society… 23:47 Thanksgiving Facts to wow your guests… 29:37 The quilt lady… 32:19 Pies 37:25 More facts 41:45 Campbell’s Soup 45:32 Balloons  52:40 Attitude of Gratitude Sponsors for this episode include:  Voetberg Method Experience This month, use my code: CRUNCHY20 to get 20% off each month you’re subscribed.

Episode Description: Jason and Emily open up about a question every parent is starting to lose sleep over: what do you do with your kids when they turn 18? They grew up in a world with a simple script. Graduate, leave home, go to college, figure it out. That script does not fit anymore, and today’s parents are the first generation raising kids without a clear roadmap for adulthood. In this episode, they talk about the pressure to launch, the changing value of college, the fear of doing too much or too little, and what it means to guide your kids when the cultural guidebook is basically gone.
