Merriment: Recent Episodes
Carly Jansen
Carly and Johnny are two married best friends who once had an 8 hour phone conversation. Now they're squeezing their stream of consciousness conversations into one hour after their kid has gone to bed.
Carly and Johnny are coming to accept that everyone can be a little stupid sometimes. But that doesn't have to define their character. They discuss nostalgia, share diverse views about aging and debate the difference between a euphemism and euthanasia. Johnny also gets a little carried away giving examples of transition phrases.
After a couple weeks away, Carly and Johnny are back and have plenty of wily and contemplative topics to discuss. Witches and warlocks top the list of course, along with spooky stuff, camping stories and the paralyzing indecision many parents have when deciding how to spend their fleeting spare time.
Carly and Johnny wander deep into booger territory in this episode, and discover a shocking study about their surprising health benefits. They also tackle more serious topics like the link between ego and depression, how to discover your strengths and use them and the need for a fart magician in the world.
It was bound to happen sometime. Carly and Johnny are talking about poop this episode, baring all with just a dash of bashfulness, and wondering why the heck we're so ashamed of something we all do? Some excellent and recent poop stories abound, plus—anxiety gets a bad rap, but who ever talks about the positive side to it?
