One Hundred Things in a Jar

It was a dark and stormy night, not unlike this one, when Mike and Megan – a bottle of wine and a microphone by their side, the room illuminated only by candlelight – sat down to record Episode 43. As the wind howled a haunted tune outside, they told ghoulish tales about ill-fitting Merona shirts, Michael’s bedtime reading materials and scariest of all – Brett Kavanaugh. Terrified by what was being discussed, they attempted to move on, but the fear fest wasn’t over yet, as a seemingly innocuous question led to discussions on regret, past failures and improper use of household tools. The jar seemed to be possessed and made sure to keep the theme going by offering the chance for both hosts to share some spooky real life encounters with spirits and beings not of this earth! So be brave dear listener, because there’s all that and a whole lot more, (including laughs) just in time for Halloween on Episode 43 of 100 Things In a Jar!

Episode 42 can be described in one word – uncomfortable. Mike and Megan discuss a range of topics that makes them so uneasy at one point they need to take a break. The conversations range from odd bathroom habits to traits they would like to change in each other and in themselves. Luckily everyone holds it together long enough to get to the jar, which doesn’t do them any favors and provides the same topic they were already discussing! The episode has plenty of easygoing moments as well that won’t make you squirm, plus audio cameos from Mike and Megan’s dads that makes Episode 42 quite a ride, so strap in and enjoy this roller coaster of emotions.

Following another hiatus of undetermined length, Michael and Megan return with a new episode. After Mike gets through an early case of podcast jitters, they relive moments from their destructive childhood pasts, the finer points of wine bottle copywriting and a new segment that results in some audible gagging. The jar topic leads to a lengthy discussion on biographical movie titles, neighbors and their annoying dogs and the birth of the newest superhero of our time, PenisCat plus a whole bunch more. There may be smells outside but nothing about Episode 41 of One Hundred In a Jar stinks!

Megan and Michael sit down to start Episode 40 and in no time at all newest family member Charlie makes his presence felt. After a quick break in the action they return and reminisce about baby books, swaddling skills and lumpy heads. Speaking of lumps, Mike recounts the story of how a beautiful sunrise nearly killed him earlier that day before Megan moves on to how some serious couple issues such as disagreements on wine vinatges have driven a wedge between them. Luckily they’ve put their hostilities aside and the jar seems to speak to them by offering the important subject of empathy and love which just might be what they need to get things back on track and back in the kitchen to record Episode 41.

After an almost six month delay Mike and Megan are back! They have the microphone,  the jar of random topics and a bottle of ….. prosecco?! Everything has changed, yet everything remains the same, in this NEW episode of 100 Things In A Jar. In addition to what has been going on the last half year , the unofficial start of Season 2 has a brand new missing purple baby saga, big family addition news and even fancy stemware Megan discovered in the basement! The mood is lightened by some unexpected visits from the kids as well as the jar topic which deals with the complexities of language … or is it something deeper? Well they can’t figure it out, so instead the talk turns to a new easier segment, “IS IT A MAMMAL?” , talk of the Royal Wedding and some truth bombs regarding marriage. Mike and Megan are all in and they hope you are as well!

This week’s episode kicks off with Meg poking fun of Mike’s Taylor Swift phone stand, which contrary to popular opinion, was not a gift for him appearing in Tay Tay’s “Shake It Off” video. Speaking of doppelgangers, Megan apparently looks like a Wheel of Fortune contestant, according to some guy who Mike explains was just hitting on her. His suspicions are only aroused more after being given the details of Megan’s dream in this week’s Dream Analysis. Plus, there may still be Thanksgiving leftovers in your fridge, but Christmas anticipation is in full swing, as some of Mike and Meg’s Christmas classic faves are discussed. Speaking of classics, the movie “Beaches” is apparently being remade and the jar wants to know how Mike and Meg feel about that ! Southern accents, the 80’s, cover songs – it’s all here on Episode 38 so don’t be like Mi and LISTEN TO THE WHOLE DAMN THING !

Mike and Megan are back just in time for a Halloween themed episode which leads them to discussions of their favorite costumes of yesteryear, the differences between suburban and city halloweens and Mike’s healthy fear of 8 foot rabbits ransacking his home. There’s another impromptu food themed F, Marry, Kill and some other silliness before the jar sways the conversation to the topic of edible underwear, which is hopefully something nobody gives out this year for trick or treat.

 Guilty pleasures are the topic of Episode 19 and Mike and Megan share the foods, booze, entertainment and rituals they enjoy partaking in when nobody else is looking or judging. Also included in this episode is another installment of “Megan’s Journal Kernels”, the time Mike wanted to set up Megan with a total psychopath and how Mike transformed from a handsome, smiling high school graduate into a cheese eatin’, port swillin’ goblin who scared girls. All that and much more are featured here on this episode. Use your “me time” anytime you want, maybe have a few bowls of Fruity Pebbles, and enjoy this episode BIG TIME!!!!
