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.

We’ve all had those moments we wish we could erase, but let’s be honest—our most embarrassing stories make the best content. This week, Emily and Jason dive into their most cringeworthy memories, from the time Jason had to strut around McDonald’s in a full Batman costume to the horrifying realization that Emily and her friends had been joyfully playing in… raw sewage. (Yep, you read that right.) These are the moments that humble us, haunt us, and, ultimately, make for a great laugh. Plus, Jason shares an update on his new keto journey as he works to improve his kidney health. Tune in for the awkwardness, stay for the inspiration—because sometimes, the best way to get through life’s most humiliating moments is to laugh about them later.

Marriage is full of big moments, little annoyances, and unexpected challenges—and we're talking about all of them in this episode! Jason and Emily dive into what really makes a marriage work, from communication and trust to knowing when *not* to bring home ice cream. (Spoiler: Jason made a critical error.) They share a recent disagreement over a grocery store decision gone wrong and how small moments like these can reveal deeper truths about partnership.
They also get into something more serious—Jason’s journey with polycystic kidney disease. He opens up about what it means for their family, his efforts to reverse its effects naturally, and the lifestyle changes he’s making to take control of his health. Through laughter, honesty, and a little friendly debate, Jason and Emily unpack what it means to show up for each other in sickness and in health—and why marriage is just one long adventure in learning and growing together.

Episode Description:
Emily and Jason are back from the road, and they’ve got stories to tell! After weeks of traveling, performing, and meeting incredible people, they’re reflecting on the highs, the unexpected challenges, and how the experience has made them even sharper at what they do. From overcoming stage mishaps to learning how to keep the energy up day after day, this tour wasn’t just a trip—it was a crash course in getting better at their craft.
But that’s not all. Apparently, their recent apocalypse episode ruffled some feathers, and another podcaster has a few things to say about it. Emily and Jason aren’t here for the “stay in your lane” mindset, though. Whether it’s comedy, parenting, or the end of the world, why should anyone limit themselves?

Emily HATES Jason's favorite movies...
Be sure to get your tickets for the last two days of the tour!

What makes a story truly compelling? In this episode, Emily and Jason break down the magic of storytelling—why some stories stick with us and others fall flat. They explore Jason’s top five favorite films, and debate whether his movie taste is actually trash (spoiler: Emily thinks it is).
But there’s a catch—knowledge of story structure has officially ruined movies for Emily. Now, she can’t just enjoy a film without analyzing every plot beat, character arc, and emotional manipulation tactic.
