What would you be if you could be anything? Not metaphorically — literally. Fur, scales, wings, the whole thing. This week, the boys go full feral and ask the one question that says more about you than any personality test ever could: which animal would you shapeshift into? What starts as a whimsical hypothetical spirals into a deep, chaotic tour through werewolf lore, Kitsune mythology, Animorphs, and why the Scholastic Book Fair might be the most underrated event of the 90s. They unpack every shapeshifter from pop culture; True Blood, Teen Wolf, Underworld, Buffy then turn it on themselves and you: because your answer (eagle, wolf, dolphin, cat, raccoon) isn't random. Is this the kind of question that actually reveals something real, or is it just one of those questions? Along the way, things take a detour through mall culture, nostalgia, and a very firm stance on why raccoons should not be pets. It's the hands. It's always the hands.

What starts as a simple question—have you ever had a board game fight?—quickly turns into a deep dive into competition, nostalgia, and just how far people will go to win. In this episode, we unpack the board games that defined generations—from 90s classics like Life, Clue, and 13 Dead End Drive to modern favorites like Catan and Ticket to Ride. Along the way, we explore why some games spark more arguments than others, how rule-bending can destroy friendships, and why Monopoly might still be the most dangerous game on the table. We also get into real-life game night chaos: injuries, flipped tables, broken alliances, and the emotional damage no one talks about. From childhood memories to adult competitiveness, we ask the bigger question: Are board games actually about fun… or are they just socially acceptable ways to test your relationships?

What actually makes someone an expert? In this episode, we spiral from dictionary definitions into cellos being thrown in bars, empathy as a skill set, and why curiosity matters more than credentials. We talk instant expertise fantasies, the skills people claim to know, the ones they want to learn, and the reality of our math teachers being wrong. (We do have computers in our pockets) From being a terrible waiter to candle scent mastery, millennial learning to hot sauce packet obsessions—this episode asks the real question: Is being an expert about knowing everything… or knowing how to keep asking better questions?

We’re back from a little break and immediately stealing pizza off the street. This week, we unpack intrusive thoughts — the silly, the unsettling, and the ones you definitely didn’t ask for. From donut discourse and a Mozart museum thief to repelling off buildings and the sudden urge to slap someone in the face, things spiral fast. It’s chaotic, educational, and a very In the Jar, deep dive into intrusive thoughts. Want to be part of the conversation?

The boys dive into how they celebrated Halloween in the past, or didn't celebrate it. Horror Movies, Costumes, and Gay Halloween are brought to your ears. New episodes coming, and give us your answers at inthejar.com/questions.

Michael, Vaughn, and David are back — and this time, we’re inhaling deep and exhaling the double standards of pop. From the way the world expects pop girls to do the absolute most, to the personal obsessions currently eating our brains, it’s giving chaos and clarity all at once. We talk septums, brilliance, binging current TV, and why the world still owes certain divas an apology. Plus: a few tangents we didn’t see coming (but obviously kept in). Come for the pop culture rants, stay for the love, the laughter, and the reminder to spit on it.

This week, the boys are joined by Diana Weishaar from In The Round podcast — and things get loud. We’re talking music, the chaos of creating art, P****i Desani, and of course… Brittany. From figuring out which emotions hit hardest in a song to discovering you really can write about anything, this episode is part jam session, part group therapy, and part gay karaoke you didn’t know you needed.

In the Jar: We’ve All Put Worse Things in Our MouthsFrom bathhouses to willow trees, this one’s just the hosts pulling questions and letting chaos take the wheel. Things get a little raunchy, a little vulnerable, and a lot unhinged — the perfect mix of crazy and deep that makes us all human. It’s funny, it’s messy, and it’s very In the Jar. Tune in now!

From She’s All That teaching us to never trust a man, to discovering our sexual awakening was… the green, furry Grinch (don’t judge), this week we’re talking the movies that left a mark. We question why some films flop for one person but are a “classic” for another — and what even is a classic, anyway? It’s nostalgia, thirst, and a little chaos. Press play. We’ll bring the popcorn and the questionable crushes.

Some people are just… off limits. Coworkers. Teachers. That one distant aunt who was weirdly hot. This week, we hear people confess their forbidden crushes — the ones we knew we shouldn’t have but couldn’t stop thinking about anyway. We’re talking khaki-induced lust, hallway heartthrobs, and the difference between “that’s taboo” and “that’s just cheating” What even is forbidden? And does it make everything hotter?

First kisses: magical, awkward, overhyped… sometimes witnessed by a life-size portrait of Jesus. This week, we dig into the unforgettable (and sometimes regrettable) memories of our very first smooches. From closet makeouts to youth group chaos, we unpack the pressure, the drama, and the gay panic. It’s nostalgic, hilarious, a little holy, and totally In the Jar.

This week, we’re talking about sexual health — or at least what people think it is. With Sex Educator Brittany Sue Hines, we dive into STIs with branding problems, Boba Viagra, and have a full on sex ed lessons, this episode gets sexual. We share stories, break myths, and hear question from real people on what they want to know. It’s funny, unfiltered, and just the right amount of educational. New episodes every Thursday. Wrap it up and press play.

Who are we, really? This week we pull the identity card from the jar and immediately spiral — in the best way. We talk heritage, self-presentation, and why certain labels feel like home (or don’t). Also: Britney Spears, plateaus, and the unshakable feeling that there’s a farmer deep inside all of us. It’s deep-but-not-that-deep, funny, a little chaotic, and totally In the Jar. New episodes every Thursday.

What’s the ultimate comfort food? Bread? Mac & cheese? Pizza? This week, we throw it all in the jar and let chaos reign — including a fiery debate over whether soup is a food. We get into gateway meats, why ass is apparently an aperitif, and the shocking magic of chocolate cake with spicy potato chips. It’s warm, weird, unhinged, and somehow still makes you hungry. New episodes every Thursday. Grab a snack and get in here.
