Emily's New York Times interview was...weird
Episode 36 - In this episode, we’re diving into the often-misunderstood world of crunchy living. Emily and Jason break down the stereotypes surrounding crunchy people-like the idea that they’re overly judgmental, hyper-political, or rigidly conservative-and unpack why these misconceptions persist. Emily shares insights from her recent interview with The New York Times, where the reporter framed her story through a narrow lens, leading to a thought-provoking conversation about narratives and agendas.
At the heart of it all, Emily and Jason ask an important question: Why can’t we all agree on the basics of being healthy, happy humans? With their signature humor and candidness, they challenge listeners to embrace a more open-minded view of what it means to live naturally-and remind everyone that crunchy isn’t a one-size-fits-all label.

Best Christmas movie ever is Catch Me If You Can with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
I got your book for Christmas! Very excited to read it!
Definitely a guy/girl thing IMO….I put out water and snacks for the delivery drivers all Dec and my husband was like “what are you doing?? this isn’t a thing is it?” 🤣🤣🤣
I'm trying to see where you write a review on TH-cam
Thank you! Finally someone said this on a public platform!🎉 I just cant get over the blindness and just pinpointing one company!
When it comes to vaccines, it’s important to not both-sides it, especially when it comes to the vaccines-make-kids-autistic zombie lie. As an Autistic person, I will not entertain someone’s deeply bigoted and completely misinformed beliefs about me, their own child or anyone else in my community. I will sure as heck not shake hands and agree to disagree on whether or not a vaccine made me this way when I’m presenting hard evidence and the other person is relying on intuition or whatever RFK or Jenny McCarthy told them. Spreading that zombie lie is not harmless. Making healthcare decisions for oneself or one’s loved ones based on that zombie lie is not harmless. I know that’s not the only belief that motivates someone to distrust vaccines, but it is the overwhelming one, and that’s something I hope neither of you tolerate when you encounter it (and I certainly hope you don’t believe yourselves).
You two are speaking my language!! Never known of a couple more like me and my husband than you guys. I love your podcast and love you! God bless!
Smokin some grass as I listen to this lol balance 🙏
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I thought the debby tree cake thing was funny, moms have become such a taboo topic and we need thicker skin to enjoy comedy
❤
Yes, Amen to the Bible over here as well!
Self awareness vs guilt. You're conscious about small things other don't think about but not necessarily feeling guilty
My husband wanted to put cuties in my daughters stocking (shes two and a half). I thought that was a great way to do a healthy snack instead of candy canes. ❤❤❤ thought of this when he said " they're children, give them buckets of sugar" 😂 like fr america it is a problem!
I love this good job guys
Thank you!
“You can have benefits from ultra-processed, lab-fortified foods that have had some nutrients stripped through bleaching and others never absorbed due to genetic modification and glyphosate-“ OR you can have bio-available nutrients that naturally occur in the amounts listed in the nutrition facts pre-engineering without the glyphosate and it’s impact and maybe fewer cases of food sensitivities and I’m going to avoid TH-cam jail by deleting the rest of my rant. But you know, I’d be much happier if I didn’t have to be so careful to not get sick from what the FDA calls food.
This reminded me of the time a 'friend' told me off for giving my child candy - he was an alcoholic AND a smoker!😂
TYSM for doing a podcast!! I don’t consume TikTok and try not to watch shorts….after this episode I’m going to go listen to your book!! Take care ❤
Thank you so much!!!
I loved her book!!
Listened to the whole thing yesterday 🤩 so good!
Loved this episode. Emily, are you still Catholic? As a Catholic hearing that you at least grew up Catholic is so wonderful. I feel so seen!
Listened to this while I helped my son put together some Lego trains. I can honestly say your podcast has been winning me over to becoming Really Mildly Crunchy. This year I made both of my kids some play food (carrots, apples, turnips) from roving I dyed myself from local sheep. My boy is still in love with legos- but this is why it’s a mild crunch 😂 You guys are my favorite podcast- merry Christmas.
Totally on board with legos. 🥰
Will you ever do a QNA?
Episode 28, though I am sure we will do more in the future!
@@thereallyverycrunchypodcast Thank you!
Bruce Wayne would smell so strongly of latex and whatever tire rubber he used for his costumes that people could tell just from his scent that he was Batman. And does he seem like the type to not wear a distinct, fancy cologne? No, he would constantly reek of a mix of suit chemicals, fancy fragrance, and steroid-infused body odor that people just won’t call him out for fear he’ll hug them.
I used to do everything healthy but smoked and dyed my hair. It was a process. Think of how many people who live super healthy yet get those toxic pHARMa injections in themselves and their children. Unfortunately, jabs are commonly taken by crunchy people. Make it make sense.
Team RVCN!
I feel so seen and validated by your videos. You get me 😍
I completely agree that comedy has basically been lost. People take one comment you make to define you as a whole, to put you into a category. Which isn’t accurate. Like Emily states being crunchy is a spectrum. People think in absolutes of “it’s all or nothing” and that’s where it becomes categorized as political. It’s about dividing people. Them against us. If they hold one opinion or value that’s different than me, then they’re basically a bad guy, a moron etc. People have lost the ability to see value in others. To learn and think for themselves. It’s really sad when you think about it. I can very much see someone making a big stink about seeing Emily in a nail salon. Just to call her out as a “fraud” as a hypocrite. And then there will be Reddit forums about it, videos made about her hypocrisy. Having people in the crunchy category turn against her, for example. People are not “all or nothing”. All of life is a spectrum. I believe most people are trying to do the best they can with the knowledge and resources they have. And life is hard. As Jason said it is information overload. You can spend the majority of your time looking up studies, information and still be unsure of the right decisions. Then you’ve wasted your days on that, instead of living. I love your podcast, your videos and Emily’s books. I think you guys are great. So funny and also down to earth with good values. Please remember that the majority of people who leave snide comments do so in a brief moment of passing judgement. They don’t stop to think of their words and opinions and how it may affect others. They have a brief moment of snarky judgement and decide to let the world know their thoughts. And they rarely if ever give those negative words a second thought. So try to “consider the source”. What type of person is leaving a nasty comment? Are they someone who is respectable and of high intelligence? Usually not, I’m sad to say. So toss away those remarks as they tossed out those negative opinions onto you in your comment sections. I hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎄 Thank you for sharing a small part of your life and family with us 💕
Oh, and happy Merry everything!
I used to not feel bad for being a jerk, in the way you're talking about. So I have actually ended an argument with a friend by saying, "real clean smells like nothing. " Now, my teenage son says it to his pals when their laundry detergent smelling clothing is too strong. But also now, I keep that stuff to myself and don't say it out loud. But really and truly, real clean smells like nothing. Dawn is a dirty b*tch. 😂
Cookies from a chain smoker’s home also taste bad.
Love this podcast. Keep it up
Thank you!
I love your intro/outro music. Fits you guys real well.
Keep asking for the reviews, Jason. One of these days I’ll feel guilty enough and make it happen
I'm not sure what level you guys are on but I have never been able to taste soap in anything I've eaten???? Maybe you have super senses????
I too have never tasted anyones dish soap on their food 😅
I have an extremely sensitive nose so yeah I will know if your dish soap is perfumed. Dishes don’t need to smell like anything except for the food that you put on it!
Lol noooo not the raw milk debate! Can't take another Matt Walsh vs the rest of the right debate again 😂 weirdest two days on X
I know a guy who is totally into local economy CSA stuff... and smokes like a chimney. Not even a respectable pipe - packs of tar-filled deadly cigarettes. Love that guy. But yeah, he exists.
Fun episode! My family would do like Jason's family and we'd open our presents Christmas Eve night. It would be so much fun, first my sister and I would hold a little concert for mom and dad playing our instruments to Christmas songs. I remember playing Silent Night on my little kid keyboard every year. Then we would read the part in the Bible about Jesus' birth. And then my parents would tell us to go in our rooms and wait for them to bring out all the presents. It was always so exciting. Then on Christmas day we would open the presents given from our other relatives and then visit my grandparents who lived right up the road from us.
A driveway is exactly where i got a concussion from falling off my bike. It messed me up for years... I'm a big helmet advocate. Thankfully it's the law that kids under 12 have to wear a helmet where I live.
Yikes!!! Good to think about for sure.
Would I like to see a Crunchy podcast today? Why yes. Yes I would. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!!
I was wondering where the podcast was this morning. Glad to see followed thru 😆 Been loving all the Christmas content. Merry Christmas to you and your saplings 🎄
Merry Christmas to you!!!
Another 5 star review from me. You guys were a lot of fun. Plus, I've been around couples that disrespect each other and you guys are no where near it. Lol.
When you can taste the dish soap theyre not rinsing enough.
Yeah I just think people are trying to save on their water bill. My mom’s dishes often taste like soap, whereas I rinse thoroughly like a lab tech and the food never tastes like soap.
@mrs.manrique7411 yes and if the water isn't scolding hot is it even clean?
One year we had Thanksgiving with friends and she was going to throw out the turkey carcass so I said I’d take it to make turkey broth. That broth smelled and tasted like fabric softener and I had to throw it out. I knew that we always came home from their house smelling like their laundry but I did not expect it to be in tho turkey!
Where do you get unscented dish soap?
A lot of brands offer an unscented version of their soaps. I would try to go with one with cleaner ingredients though.
I love that you're posting these podcast excerpts when you post new skits. It's like a behind the scenes on how you come up with ideas. 😂
🥰🥰🥰
That glass is always half full 😂
Guys! Educate me! I am from a non-English-speaking country. I have just learned seed oils = bad. Why? I thought otherwise! In my country, it's like linseed oil, coconut oil, walnut oil etc. = good! Canola, sunflower, palm... Nah, maybe on rare occasions. Avodaco, grapeseed, rice = good. So... Where do I look?
Seed oils are highly processed, can lead to inflammation, low in micronutrients, many crops used to make them are genetically modified or sprayed with pesticides.
@@princessbeaniewiggle Oh, I see. Thank you! Using cold-processed or extra virgin doesn't necessarily help.
I'll be honest; when someone gives a plate of something to me, if I'm alone, i put it straight into the garbage before my family even sees it. 🤷♀️ i can't trust people to not use scented products, seed oils, bleached flour, etc. The more you know, the more paranoid you get 😂😂😂
The countdown to “It’s a Wonderful Life” was so funny because you two counted in opposite directions! “3, 2, 1” vs. “1, 2, 3!”
