When an American and Canadian risk it all to bring peace between their forced-together-by-geography situationship.

    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

    Ep29: Nick tells the story of his 3rd-worst neighbor; Evelyn shuts down Christian comedy hour.

    Nick launches this episode of the RJP with Part Three (or maybe Part One? It's all TBD at this point) of a potential worst-neighbor-ever trilogy: a restaurant owner who tried to annex the building’s gorgeous plant-lined corridor as his personal patio, break room, and smoke lounge. After the landlord, the fire marshal, and basic zoning rules all tell him “no,” the restaurant owner pivots to his backup plan: turning the hallway into a rotating exhibit of fryer oil, cardboard, and wine in a garbage bag. Evelyn then shares a story from her teaching days where two grown men pull a little after-hours “prank”: one corners her alone in a classroom with intense, targeted religious interrogation vibes, and the other appears like it’s a magic trick. Surprise! It was all for laughs! (Translation: it wasn’t.) Evelyn follows up the way an adult should have to zero times in her life by paying one of the teachers a little visit, names how inappropriate it was, and politely informs him that scaring colleagues for sport is a great way to land yourself in HR. Two countries and one shared lesson: sometimes peace talks are nice, but sometimes the most Canadian-American unity you’ll ever experience is simply agreeing on this sentence: don’t be a douchebag.

    Ep28: Evelyn knows both countries' national anthems; Nick knows the Chicago Bears' fight song.

    Evelyn decides it’s time to drag the peace talks back to their original purpose: repairing Canada-US relations through culture, humility, and a deeply unnecessary discussion of national anthems. On a Family Day / Presidents’ Day recording, she reveals that many Canadians know the American anthem far better than Americans know O Canada… then proves it by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” from memory...with her eyes closed. Nick, meanwhile, gamely admits that his knowledge of the Canadian anthem is somewhere between “vague” and “absolutely not.” From there, the episode spirals into school rituals, the Pledge of Allegiance, whether cultural awareness is a point of national pride, and a full-on detour into the Canadian artists both countries should know. Tom Cochrane, Celine Dion, Neil Young, Anne Murray, Sloan, the Tragically Hip, and Brad Sucks all make an appearance, along with one deeply cursed suggestion for how O Canada could be rewritten. Cross-border harmony is HAPPENING, people. It's happening.

    Ep27: Nick ran Sex & Banana Splits; Evelyn ran hot pursuit.

    Cue the airhorn because Reverse Jackass is here with another episode (#CantStopWontStop). Nick opens with a random story of his childhood belief that a Chinese restaurant closed because it made too much money ("Sure, Jan"). Then he flashes back to his college-era “King Narc” phase: hosting Sex & Banana Splits, learning condom basics, and later receiving the most satisfying phone call imaginable from the same roommate who mocked him for it. Meanwhile, Evelyn admits her proudest narc moment: tracking a reckless driver through her subdivision, collecting receipts like a suburban detective, and calling the non-emergency line with the intensity of a woman who absolutely has time today and isn't afraid to use it sitting in her car in a Dollarama parking lot. The episode ends in a spiral of Canadian vigilante justice fantasies, including a signature warning gift: one banana, one condom, left on the hood like a Canadian calling-card. We might be getting off-track here in terms of peace talks and cross-border atonements...but it's actually supposed to get worse before it gets better, right?...Right?

    Ep26: Evelyn sweats through the piano bench; Nick has a few words for Mr. Holland (& his opus).

    In this episode, Evelyn shares the story of Irv, her first piano teacher: a farmer, musician, painter, poet, and deeply eccentric fixture of her childhood who taught her for years in a tiny overheated room on the family farm. What starts as a loving tribute turns into one of the most gloriously uncomfortable stories in Reverse Jackass history, featuring Evelyn's overactive teenage sweat glands, a wooden piano bench, and a long-term newspaper solution no one ever verbally acknowledged. What follows is part tribute, part comedy of discomfort, and part meditation on the wonderfully odd people who become permanent fixtures in our memories. Along the way, Nick brings his usual mix of curiosity, jokes, and escalating disbelief, helping turn a very specific small-town Canadian story into something weirdly universal. Because apparently both countries can agree on this: the people who teach us the most are often the ones we’ll never fully know how to explain.

    Ep25: Nick witnesses airport betrayal; Evelyn was not made for sand dunes.

    In this episode of Reverse Jackass (recorded eons ago back in November 2025), Nick and Evelyn debrief Evelyn’s recent visit to Southern California and officially confirm that peace talks can survive real-life proximity...but only in short bursts.  Then, Nick delivers a true cold-weather horror story: a flight into Chicago featuring explosive barf, missing luggage, and one airport employee hitting his shift-ending limit so hard he drops a legendary “f** you” and disappears into the night. Then Nick hits Evelyn with the main prompt: “What’s the hottest you’ve ever been in your life?” Evelyn’s answer: Japan. Late July. Tottori sand dunes in rubber boots. And because Nick calls mild BS on this story, AND this podcast can’t resist a receipt, Evelyn calls in her friend Jill Parker to confirm: YES, the sand dunes were truly nuclear, and YES, the trip featured some extremely questionable chaperone behavio(u)r (including the now-verified “I’m a raccoon” moment). Finally, Jill signs off like an absolute pro. Cross-border diplomacy always wears rubber boots.

    Ep24: Evelyn introduces the Great Maple Syrup Heist; Nick calls MLMs America’s true crime.

    It's Episode 24 on the 24th - make a wish! Evelyn drags Nick into a true crime-themed episode of the RJ Pod… but instead of murder, we’re going straight to heists. First: a wildly French museum jewel robbery that Nick somehow missed entirely (despite being a true-crime guy). Then Evelyn hits him with Canada’s proudest, stickiest headline: the Great Maple Syrup Heist, featuring a strategic syrup reserve, barrels getting topped up with water, and a criminal empire that screams “OH! Canada!" Nick counters with what he calls the most quintessentially American true crime: MLMs and confidence schemes, plus a detour into Bernie Madoff, Ponzi scheme logic, and why luxury brands basically benefit from chaos.  This episode's got jewel heists, syrup heists, and enough reminders that the only way to properly pronounce anything en français, is likely with with a mouth full of syrop d'érable while wearing a toque.

    Ep23: Nick met his match in a blind poodle named Bebe; Evelyn weaponized rush-hour McNuggets.

    Let's turn back time a bit for this episode of the RJ Podasaurus: It’s the day before American Thanksgiving 2025 (YES IT IS CURRENTLY MARCH 2026 GET OVER IT), so naturally Nick tells a heartwarming tale about adopting a former champion show poodle… who immediately becomes an 8-pound, toothless, whisper-bark houdini in Nick's childhood home (and Nick’s eternal sworn enemy). There are cages. There’s a padlock. There is strategy. Meanwhile, Evelyn tries to answer Nick’s question: who out there considers you their worst enemy? Cue a surprise call to Evelyn's sister Heather, who (a little too quickly, some might say), initially blames Evelyn’s toilet, but then reminds Evelyn of a friendship breakdown that she seems to have wiped clean from her memory. This episode features “pick up five taco ingredients in rush-hour" energy, and is basically a masterclass in Canadian conflict style: polite texts with the emotional temperature of cold chicken McNuggets.
