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.

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.

Jason and Emily get real about personal style. What it says about us, when it’s just for fun, and when it starts feeling like a bid for attention. From crunchy wardrobes to fashion phases to intentionally opting out, they explore whether style is self-expression, strategy, or something in between. Along the way, they share stories, debate choices, and reflect on how much of what we wear is about us versus what we want others to see. A thoughtful and funny chat for anyone who’s ever stood in front of a closet and asked, “What am I really saying with this?”

Episode Description:
Jason and Emily talk about finding new couches at a thrift store and hauling them across the country in a U-Haul like two people who definitely don’t have back problems. Somewhere along the way they stop at the Ark Encounter, which turns out to be… a little different than they expected. The conversation takes a turn into how the world seems increasingly intolerant of Christianity, and how believers are trying to live faithfully in a culture that doesn’t really want them to. It’s funny, honest, and a little heavier than a couch in a U-Haul.
