Jason vs. Emily: The Rule Breaking Debate

3 Dec 2025 · 1 h 11 min · Episode 93

Jason has always been the rule breaker, Emily has always been the rule follower. In this episode, they talk about when it actually makes sense to bend or break the rules, and when it is a hard no.

From childhood stories and school rules to parenting, speed limits, and “suggested” bedtimes, they explore how to respect authority, use common sense, and teach kids the difference between pointless rules and important ones.
