Reverse Jackass

Evelyn unveils the Canadian Blade Questionnaire™ , a completely scientific, absolutely binding series of questions designed to fully expose who Nick really is. What follows is a psychological excavation. By the end, Nick is, in fact, fully known. Whether that was a good idea…remains unclear. TEXT US!...and we'll respond, because that's the kind of people we are. ============= Want to get i...

We’re back at Château Reverse Jackass with an episode that begins as a casual debrief and quickly becomes a formal complaint against Raise Your Voice , starring Hillary Duff, John Corbett, and several deeply disturbing choices about music education. Nick recounts the cinematic abuse of watching the movie after Evelyn recommended it, including the suspiciously church-camp energy. Evelyn, having cau...

What starts as a simple intro somehow immediately turns into a low-grade workplace dispute, complete with accusations of neglect, passive aggression, emotional damage, and a shocking amount of nostril flaring. Evelyn and Nick spend the opening minutes sounding less like co-hosts and more like two middle managers trapped in a very small boardroom. Eventually, underneath all the fake hostility, Evel...

Episode 45 begins with Nick bringing an actual American icon to the table: George Washington Carver, scientific genius, agricultural legend, and longtime cornerstone of Nick's mother's first-grade curriculum. Nick explains how his mother’s students carefully copied “George Washington Carver” from the board, then absolutely freelanced the word “peanuts” into something far less classroom-s...

Today on the RJP, Evelyn crawls out of a real-life pit of despair the least dramatic way possible: one small choice at a time. It starts with a last-minute manicure, turns into a “whimsy audit,” and becomes a full-on experiment in seeing her current life through the eyes of younger Evelyn. Tiny, practical proof that the story isn’t just “sad,” even when it feels like it. Nick jumps in with his own...

Episode 35 is coming alive! Nick gets dragged to the front of the class and told—loudly, publicly, spiritually—that his essay is garbage and his future is bleak. So he does what any reasonable teen would do: recruits the smartest girl in school, rewrites the whole thing, and somehow makes it worse.  Evelyn, meanwhile, was not a problem in high school...but math absolutely was. She thrived in the a...

Evelyn and Nick open with a “redemption episode” after a lost-to-the-vault recording session, and immediately decide the healthiest possible reset is… publicly daring each other to apologize via email. It’s petty. It’s theatrical. It’s Reverse Jackass. Then Evelyn brings a podcast idea suggested by their mutual friend Alyse (SHOUTOUT TO ALYSE)  and puts Nick on the spot with a delicately curated l...

Nick kicks things off by assigning Evelyn the sacred American homework of watching Alec Baldwin’s “Always Be Closing” monologue, then immediately demands she create a music-teacher version of ABC. Evelyn responds with “Ask Before Closing,” a classroom law designed to prevent busted guitars, busted routines, and busted early-exit dreams. From there, we get a full hallway-justice saga: one student t...

Evelyn brings three oddly perfect moments to the table: flying behind a tractor on a sled as a kid, falling asleep in a flame-decaled PT Cruiser on a beach the day after her wedding, and the pure euphoric justice of watching a reckless driver finally get pulled over by the cops. She (eventually) lands at the question: what feeling would you bottle and keep forever? Nick’s answer takes a few glorio...

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...
