In this episode of the Reverse Jackass podcast, Nick confesses his lifelong fear of horses (he blames a traumatizing 80s talk show and the subpar reconstructive surgery practices du jour), and relives the time he had to go horseback riding in France armed with exactly zero French equestrian-themed nouns. Meanwhile, Evelyn attempts to explain Canada’s mysterious (and slightly chaotic) “Stag and Doe” parties, which combine flannel, beer tickets, and light gambling in support of rural weddings.

The pair also tackle the classic French maxim “a thousand cheeses and one church,” exploring what that ratio might look like in the US and Canada. (Spoiler: Celine Dion is somehow involved.) There’s talk of cash bars, cultural shame, and how peach schnapps and the ibex might be South Africa’s secret weapon.

Join Nick and Evelyn as they expertly knit together a cross-border friendship that would rival the toques made by Newfoundland grandmothers.

Nick and Evelyn are back with more cross-border camaraderie and chaos. On this episode, Evelyn attempts to explain Canada’s most divisive institution: Timothy Frickin' Hortons. Nick learns about double-doubles, four-by-fours, and the emotional calisthenics of ordering a mediocre coffee with pride and self-loathing in equal measure.

Meanwhile, Nick draws the most perfect parallel America has to offer: the Super Bowl. A tradition everyone watches, everyone critiques, and everyone participates in—begrudgingly or otherwise.

Together, they unpack what it means to love something while simultaneously roasting it to death. Whether it's donut balls named after Justin Bieber or halftime shows no one agrees on, this is Reverse Jackass at its bittersweet best.

In episode lucky #15 of the Reverse Jackass podcast, Nick and Evelyn open negotiations on provincial reputations and Southern assumptions, starting with Nick’s greatest hits from moving away from the American South (including two truly unhinged questions people asked him the second he said “I'm from Virginia”). 

Evelyn fires back with a Canadian provincial tour: Ontario as the self-appointed center of the universe, Alberta as the aggressively conservative cousin, Winnipeg’s bleak reputation, and Newfoundland as the place where the people are so kind it might actually heal your nervous system. 

Along the way, they detour into LA friendliness, unexpected stranger interactions, and why you’d probably survive Newfoundland just fine as long as you don't mind travelling for 13 days straight and you keep your feet covered.

This the sound of true peace talks, friends.

Confession is good for the soul... and even better for podcast content.

In this episode, Evelyn finally admits to Nick that for months she had no idea what the acronym "CAMFT" meant—and thought he was talking about an actual camp for therapists. Meanwhile, Nick shares a very real confession of his own: his internal tug-of-war between admiring Canada and subconsciously treating it like “America Jr.”

Together, they unpack how cultural assumptions—about therapy, about hockey, and about national identity—can be both funny and revealing.

This is Reverse Jackass at its most honest: part comedy, part cultural therapy, and always in pursuit of becoming slightly better neighbors*.

*also, neighbours.

This episode of Reverse Jackass is pure mayhem: 

Nick explains how a college tantrum led to drywall destruction and an absolutely deranged (yet completely successful) plan to avoid consequences. Evelyn counters with a story involving a totaled car, broken glass, just out of reach chicken nuggets, and the kind of decision-making that makes you reconsider left turns forever.

Also featured: Nick and Evelyn want to give a big shoutout to Nick’s far more talented brother, Bobby Bognar, who graciously allowed us to use his song "Heartbreaker" by his band the Piper Downs. Bobby, you are a true professional entering a deeply unserious episode.

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving at the time this Reverse Jackass episode was recorded (even though it's closer to Valentine's Day at the time this is released, WE KNOW OK, GET OVER IT), and Evelyn is ready to sincerely express her gratitude… for overlooked vegetables, surprise double garbage pickup, and the joys of ergonomic design. Nick, meanwhile, is thankful for gluten, therapy, and a wedding toast gone off the rails thanks to an imbibed and despairing (worst combo, btw) bridesmaid.

This episode is part friendship roast, part cultural exchange, and part ode to the everyday things that (almost) never get thanked.

Whether you’re the kind of person who reflects deeply on gratitude or just wants to hear about Canadian municipal composting, you’ll feel right at home here.

What happens when an American mislabels Canada’s national dish and brings up the Oklahoma–Texas rivalry? Let’s just say: tensions rise, and it's not pretty.

In episode 11 of the Reverse Jackass podcast, Evelyn explains the VERY. SPECIFIC. RULES. of what makes a real poutine (spoiler: it’s not just fries with gravy and shredded cheese, you animals), while Nick recounts a moment of cultural tension in a gas station on the wrong side of the Red River. Together, they explore sacred regional rivalries, the fragility of cross-border culinary respect, and whether you can hear cheese.

This episode is absolutely a food fight disguised as a podcast episode.

We're now into double-digits over here with our 10th episode of the Reverse Jackass podcast. The hydro's out at Evelyn's place, so she does the classic "social media manager working from a coffee shop” move… and immediately gets betrayed by a wobbly table and spills her tragically expensive Americano all over. From there, it’s off to an upscale market for $15 coffee-caramel sauce, where the parking lot has some weird, geriatric Hunger Games vibes, and the aisles are ruled by silver-haired, me-first entitlement.

Inspired by the day’s “three-act rage ballet”, Evelyn gifts Nick the prompt of his dreams: eight minutes to rant about anything that chaps his ass. Nick unloads years of service-industry fury, from “this is a real problem” wine snobbery, to unloading taco ingredients in Santa Monica, to Getty Center VIPs pulling rank for window seats and top-of-the-hill parking. 

Then the diplomacy question lands: Do Canadians big-time each other the way LA VIPs do?

There's only one way to find out.

Actually, there's probably a few ways if we're being honest.

It's Reverse Jackass.

In Episode 9 of Reverse Jackass, Nick tries his darndest to bring Canada and the US together through the idea of innovation. He unveils his “million-dollar therapy idea” (never read the comments), then he tries to “innovate mathematics" (deleting the equal sign entirely), and finally, he asks Evelyn to confess what she’s contributed to music theory (spoiler: she burned a piano in a field, learned some cool things in a 20th century opera course, and holds a deep respect for “don’t take this too seriously” when being creative). 

Will Nick be satisfied with Evelyn's response to his question, or will he call her the Queen of the Cop-Out?

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Do you have a terrible song you wrote in high school and want us to analyze it in a future episode (obviously you do)? Well you can submit that thing to the official Reverse Jackass email address:

In Episode 8 of Reverse Jackass, Evelyn thinks she's choosing a topic of levity, but she may have spoken too soon. She and Nick rewind to their original career dreams (composer and actor) and compare the stereotypes that come with the territory, from instrument cliques to theater department pecking orders.

Nostalgia then takes a sharp turn as the discussion quickly shifts to “let’s unpack the weird shit we survived in arts school.” Nick recounts the “Greg vs. Jerry” divide in his program, and Evelyn reminisces on her racist, terrifying piano instructor who'd have given J. K. Simmons a run for his money.

Will a pinch of cross-border trauma bonding help us become better neighbo(u)rs? Probably.
