  • Week 20: May 15–21, 1993
    We start off the week by wondering if Jedediah is betraying Little Jed by doing this podcast, while Torrey admits to feelings of jealousy and wonder, 25 years later. This is followed by dying dialects, defense mechanisms over pet death, a 2-year-old eating avocado toast, the pleasures and sorrows of work, [ENTRY REDACTED], and a sleepover that the boys will never forget.

  • Week 18: May 1-7, 1993
    How do we make memories? Can one tell a lie in order to tell the truth? And did Donny REALLY have the power of telekinesis? This week, Jedediah makes Torrey say something in French, calls his brother to reminisce about their treehouse (more of a tree platform), and feels bad about a disaster of a concert 25 years ago. Meanwhile in 1993, Little Jed employs sarcasm and hates everything.

    How do we know what we know of the past? And what if we’re totally wrong? This week, last week’s cliffhanger is immediately resolved. Aunt Annie shares her perspective on life in 1993.

    Set some reasonable expectations and lay on the floor with Jedediah & Torrey as they debate creativity and getting past the most obvious idea, the weather and whether to talk about it, wild rice, arrogance, and shame, while Little Jed rents, like, five videos games while on vacation.

    Torrey & Jedediah issue some corrections, explore the nature of truth, and reveal the identity of the Bookworm. And that’s not the only mystery solved! Thanks to our listeners, the boys discover the meaning of ADITLOACA and it takes them (and you) on an educational journey back in time. Meanwhile, in 1993, Little Jed goes to church, becomes a card-carrying babysitter, does not have Divorce Group, witnesses a suspicious character, and insults two video games and his brother.

About The Jedediaries

From the publisher's feed

25 years ago, a 12-year-old boy kept a diary. He wrote in it every single day of the year 1993. This year – 2018 – that boy is a 37-year-old man, and he's going through that diary, week by week, to see how he's different, how he's the same, and what we can learn by figuring out who we used to be.
