Plus, Jason shares an update on his new keto journey as he works to improve his kidney health.

Emily and Jason face the ultimate test—figuring out if they have what it takes to survive the end of the world. Would they be the resourceful leaders of a new society, or would they be taken out immediately by something embarrassingly preventable? They break down the types of people most likely to survive, the absolute worst ones to be stuck with, and which apocalypse scenario is actually the most realistic. From total government collapse to AI takeovers, they cover the best (and worst) survival strategies with absolutely no expertise. Will their crunchy lifestyle give them an edge, or will their aversion to synthetic materials be their downfall? It’s chaotic, it’s ridiculous, and it just might be the most unhinged episode yet.

For Emily, it was never a choice—life circumstances forced her to take an unconventional path, and it just stuck. From childhood to motherhood, she’s always found herself zigging when supposed to zag. For Jason, going against the grain has been his way of making people laugh and feel accepted. Whether cracking jokes in a room full of strangers or challenging the status quo with humor, he’s always leaned into the unexpected. Together, they share stories of pushing past norms, embracing the uncomfortable, and finding freedom in doing things differently. Whether you’ve always walked your own path or feel the pressure to conform, this episode is a reminder that the best things in life often come from choosing the road less traveled.

Does lazy parenting exist? 58:15

Parenting is no joke, and in this episode, Jason and I dive into the trenches of what works (and what really doesn’t) with our 7- and 5-year-old. We’re sharing some of our favorite hacks and strategies, including our go-to acronym SMILE—Singing, Movement, Imagination, Loving, and Engaging. It’s how we’ve kept the peace (mostly) and the fun (usually) alive in our household. But it’s not all sunshine and Montessori rainbows. We’re also getting real about the challenges, like the dreaded “hand-over-hand” technique that often ends in frustration for everyone involved. If you’ve ever felt like you’re winging it as a parent, this one’s for you. Tune in for laughs, relatable moments, and maybe a tip or two that’ll make your parenting journey just a little bit easier—or at least more entertaining.

Whether it’s brushing shoulders with fame or bringing tiny humans into the world, we’re unpacking those once-in-a-lifetime moments that shape our lives and make for some really great stories.

In this episode, we’re diving into the often-misunderstood world of crunchy living. Emily and Jason break down the stereotypes surrounding crunchy people—like the idea that they’re overly judgmental, hyper-political, or rigidly conservative—and unpack why these misconceptions persist. Emily shares insights from her recent interview with The New York Times , where the reporter framed her story through a narrow lens, leading to a thought-provoking conversation about narratives and agendas. At the heart of it all, Emily and Jason ask an important question: Why can’t we all agree on the basics of being healthy, happy humans? With their signature humor and candidness, they challenge listeners to embrace a more open-minded view of what it means to live naturally—and remind everyone that crunchy isn’t a one-size-fits-all label.
