Mormon and the Meth-Head

Mormon and the Meth-Head

If the little angel and devil from your shoulders ever hung out without you and made a podcast, this is probably what it would sound like. Equal parts wholesome and horrific, Mormon and the Meth-head is about one unlikely friendship. Jessa and Aaron have led two completely different lives. While Aaron was stopping strangers on the streets of Milan to teach them about Joseph Smith, Jessa was teaching dudes how to keister meth while blowing them in Arby’s bathrooms across Portland. But as Aaron lets go of his strict Mormon lifestyle and begins his descent into the depravity of the secular world, Jessa acts as his ferryman, telling him about disgusting, hedonistic things he never could have imagined, like “butt stuff” and “coffee.” And Aaron returns the favor, helping Jessa navigate new and foreign social situations like “accepting hugs from loved ones” and “having loved ones.” In their respective routines, they each tackle the topics of love, sex, drugs, and alcohol, but with polar opposite perspectives. Audiences get to see their world through Aaron’s naive, innocent eyes as well as through Jessa’s bleary, bloodshot ones.

Another layer deep in this infinite onion, today we go Citizen Kane on your ass and discuss how memories from childhood impact the experiences we have today. We talk about snow globes, core fears, and other psychological concepts that we just learned about five minutes ago. Side note: We've been pretty happy since we stopped shaking our snow globes, so next week's ep should be much funnier! (no promises tho) Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you know that you have an attachment system from childhood that determines what kind of monster you will be in relationships? Or that it can change after traumatic events or as the result of falling for someone with a conflicting style? Did you know that Jessa becomes every single thing she judges in other people yet never learns her lesson? Do you know how to make me stop asking questions?All this and more!

Aaron watched 30 minutes of Leaving Neverland and won't stop talking about it, but it's better than when he's describing obscure reality shows. Michael Jackson leads us to our lack of faith in the American judicial system. Case in point: Jessa should totally be in jail right now. The system is broken smdh. Learn more about your ad choices.
