Would your kid survive a Saturday with no snacks, no screens, and no adult supervision? Let’s take a look at what it actually means to raise a 90s kid in today’s world.

Are adults even supposed to live in the moment? Or is that just something we tell kids while we scroll our phones and stress about the mortgage?

Are we jerks? Maybe... May 14, 2025

Show notes

Are you a jerk? Am I a jerk? In this episode of The Really Very Crunchy Podcast, Emily and Jason Morrow wrestle with a surprisingly deep question: what does it actually mean to be a jerk? From social awkwardness to strong opinions and crunchy mom convictions, they break down the difference between confidence and condescension, intention and impact. Are crunchy moms just misunderstood—or do they sometimes cross the line? With humor, humility, and a touch of self-doubt, they explore whether being a jerk is less about what you do and more about how you’re perceived. Here's the video referenced in today's episode: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/y7I8dVHncHM

This week, Emily and Jason Morrow recount the chaos and cuteness of their unexpected adventure as foster parents to baby opossums—midnight feedings, marsupial meltdowns, and all. But the conversation takes a turn when Emily admits she’s always considered herself a laid-back, go-with-the-flow Type B… until Jason presents some surprising evidence to the contrary. Is it possible the queen of crunchy calm is actually a closet Type A? The debate gets personal, hilarious, and oddly insightful.
