The Really Very Crunchy Podcast

We have had some questionable job titles—and even more questionable exits. This week, they’re digging into their work histories to bring you tales from their younger, much less public days. Jason spills the tea about life as a convenience store clerk, and the chaos of being a trash man. Emily reveals the dark secrets of working at Subway—spoiler: you can steal anything but the bread and cookies. They both tell about their woes of being fired or "not asked back." From bizarre bosses to cringe-worthy mistakes, this episode will (hopefully) have you laughing. Hope you enjoy this one - it's as juicy as a footlong with extra sauce!

Parenthood is often seen as a pathway to fulfillment, but does the reality live up to the hype? With a mix of laughter, honest conversation, and a dash of crunchy wisdom, Emily and Jason unpack the science, cultural expectations, and real-life experiences around parenting and happiness. Are parents really happier than their child-free friends, or is it all just a myth? And how does happiness shift across different stages of raising kids? Tune in as they navigate these questions, sharing insights and perspectives that will resonate with both parents and non-parents alike.

Emily and Jason Morrow dive headfirst into the wild world of conspiracy theories! Armed with the top 10 conspiracy theories as posted in a Popular Mechanics article, they break down each one and rank them on their own very scientific scale, from “likely just a tall tale” to “maybe there’s something to this.” But this isn’t your typical deep-dive podcast—Emily and Jason keep it light, poking fun at each theory with a healthy dose of skepticism and humor. They also wonder: Why can’t we have fun with conspiracies anymore? Why does everyone seem so quick to take sides and kill the fun? Tune in for some laughs, some “what ifs,” and a refreshing reminder that not every theory needs to be a battle.

In this episode, Emily and Jason Morrow dive into the fascinating world of memory. Our brains have an incredible capacity to store information, but why is it that the memories we want to hold onto often slip away while trivial details linger? Is it possible to find a balance between capturing life’s most meaningful moments and actually living in them? Whether it’s your child’s first steps or a forgotten grocery list, we discuss how to navigate the ebb and flow of memory, and how to let go of the pressure to record everything while still holding onto what matters most. Tune in for a conversation that’ll make you reflect on how we cherish—or miss—the moments that shape us.
