Reverse Jackass

Nick learns the hard way that you should never say “Where’s a cop when you need one?” out loud, because the universe will take it as a legally binding request. A pair of cars are street racing, a head-on crash happens, and Nick becomes an accidental teen narc. Months later he's still dealing with court continuances, missed school, and a defense lawyer who tries to gaslight him in the waiting...

Lordy, Lordy, look who's 30!  Episode 30 of the RJP starts sweet. Evelyn reveals a listener-made Canadian Blade t-shirt, complete with sword-through-maple-leaf imagery, and gives a long-overdue shoutout to Jason J, possibly the most committed Reverse Jackass listener alive. He listens on schedule, renames the group chat after episode jokes, and has now crossed over into podcast folklore. It’s...

Nick launches this episode of the RJP with Part Three (or maybe Part One? It's all TBD at this point) of a potential worst-neighbor-ever trilogy: a restaurant owner who tried to annex the building’s gorgeous plant-lined corridor as his personal patio, break room, and smoke lounge. After the landlord, the fire marshal, and basic zoning rules all tell him “no,” the restaurant owner pivots to hi...

Evelyn decides it’s time to drag the peace talks back to their original purpose: repairing Canada-US relations through culture, humility, and a deeply unnecessary discussion of national anthems. On a Family Day / Presidents’ Day recording, she reveals that many Canadians know the American anthem far better than Americans know O Canada … then proves it by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” from mem...

Cue the airhorn because Reverse Jackass is here with another episode (#CantStopWontStop). Nick opens with a random story of his childhood belief that a Chinese restaurant closed because it made too much money ("Sure, Jan"). Then he flashes back to his college-era “King Narc” phase: hosting Sex & Banana Splits, learning condom basics, and later receiving the most satisfying phone call...

In this episode, Evelyn shares the story of Irv, her first piano teacher: a farmer, musician, painter, poet, and deeply eccentric fixture of her childhood who taught her for years in a tiny overheated room on the family farm. What starts as a loving tribute turns into one of the most gloriously uncomfortable stories in Reverse Jackass history, featuring Evelyn's overactive teenage sweat gland...

In this episode of Reverse Jackass (recorded eons ago back in November 2025), Nick and Evelyn debrief Evelyn’s recent visit to Southern California and officially confirm that peace talks can survive real-life proximity...but only in short bursts.  Then, Nick delivers a true cold-weather horror story: a flight into Chicago featuring explosive barf, missing luggage, and one airport employee hitting...

It's Episode 24 on the 24th - make a wish! Evelyn drags Nick into a true crime-themed episode of the RJ Pod… but instead of murder, we’re going straight to heists. First: a wildly French museum jewel robbery that Nick somehow missed entirely (despite being a true-crime guy). Then Evelyn hits him with Canada’s proudest, stickiest headline: the Great Maple Syrup Heist, featuring a strategic syr...

Let's turn back time a bit for this episode of the RJ Podasaurus: It’s the day before American Thanksgiving 2025 (YES IT IS CURRENTLY MARCH 2026 GET OVER IT), so naturally Nick tells a heartwarming tale about adopting a former champion show poodle… who immediately becomes an 8-pound, toothless, whisper-bark houdini in Nick's childhood home (and Nick’s eternal sworn enemy). There are cage...

In this episode of Reverse Jackass , Evelyn decides Nick has earned a very special privilege: taking her completely unofficial, moderately chaotic Canadian Citizenship Test. What follows is a rapid-fire gauntlet of blizzard logic, “sorry” etiquette, jacket math, door-holding aerobics, and the true Canadian definition of “not that far.” Nick tries his best to answer like a respectable future citize...

Nick kicks off with Maya Angelou’s timeless warning: when someone shows you who they are, believe them , then immediately lists three times he did not do that. He shares a therapist-world horror story (public ethical shaming), a restaurant-world horror story (the return of a difficult customer), and a dating-world horror story starring a drunk Star Wars screening and the wild sentence: “I could ne...

Episode 20 of the RJP! Evelyn comes armed (and only somewhat dangerous) with two stories about belonging, Canadian-style: the time she got a spiral perm to match the Grade 8 cool girls… and immediately became the school bus Chia Pet. Then she takes Nick to Newfoundland (for the love of cod, please pronounce it properly, people!) for the sacred ritual of getting “screeched in” which includes fried...

Hold onto your milk allergies, everyone. Nick tells the story of a wildly misguided “casino night” staff party from his teenage theme park days, where a bunch of dressed-up high schoolers played table games, won raffle tickets, and somehow ended the night with a realistic-looking BB gun as the grand prize. Things take a turn when that same gun accidentally ends up on school property, a sweet innoc...

The ol' Reverse Jackass pod is back, and it's all about being nice on this episode. And bathrooms. But first, Evelyn re-activates the sacred mission of this podcast (peace talks, allegedly) and then slaps Nick a prompt with the entire purpose of making his skin crawl: what’s the nicest thing you’ve ever done that you never told anyone about? Nick panics in Catholic, tells a few stories,...

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 Do...

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...

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...

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 “...

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...

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 wedd...

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 ten...

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 sau...

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, le...

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 th...

This special statement doesn’t have jokes or banter. It has us, speaking plainly about what’s been happening in the United States, including the killing of Renée Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. We’re heartbroken. And furious.  Thanks for being the kind of audience we can speak honestly with. (To be honest, we didn't know whether it was appropriate for us to...
