When their son suddenly developed a mysterious rash, Emily and Jason Morrow made a rare trip to the doctor—only to be handed a prescription for antibiotics after a 30-second glance. They waited it out instead, and the rash disappeared after some home remedies created by Emily. In this episode, they question why antibiotics are so overprescribed, and why the modern medical system seems to skip holistic approaches in favor of quick fixes. It's a hilarious, slightly chaotic conversation about trusting your gut (literally and figuratively), unnecessary medication, and whether Jason now fears pharmacists more than doctors. If you’ve ever wondered if that prescription was really necessary, this one’s for you.

One comment turned into a full-blown crunchy cult.
This week, Emily and Jason unpack a spicy little gem from the comments section—someone thinks we’re terrible people.Not just mildly annoying. Full-blown villains. So naturally, we take that critique to its logical (and very extreme) conclusion. Are we starting a cult? Sacrificing goats? Gaslighting the masses through sourdough reels? No. We’re just telling stories. That’s it. But also, Emily casually became an award-winning children’s book author, so maybe we are too powerful. Tune in for a very unserious conversation about internet outrage, accidental influence, and the true horror of being misunderstood online.

This week on *The Really Very Crunchy Podcast,* we're stepping into the world of artificial intelligence—how it's changing our lives, the planet, and the creative space. We talk about the good (yay for help with spreadsheets!), the bad (can we not replace artists, please?), and the uncertain (should we be worried about Skynet?).
We explore:
- The environmental cost of A.I. systems
- What ethical use looks like (if that even exists)
- How creatives are responding
- And the ultimate question: How far is too far?

We're in a waste crisis...
In this episode, Emily and Jason spiral (lovingly) into a full-blown existential crisis about how wildly wasteful our world has become. From single-use everything to perfectly good items tossed in the trash, they wonder how we all just... live like this? But don’t worry—it’s funny! They laugh through the panic, question their own trash habits, and wonder aloud if society might one day wake up and smell the compost. Emily also shares her latest hyperfixation: westerns. Because if there’s one thing the frontier life got right, it was using every part of the buffalo...
