- Sleep Routine: He discusses winding down by watching Big Brother, having a shower before bed, and wearing a thin dressing gown (which he amusingly struggles to name).
- Bath Time Challenges: There’s a humorous anecdote about how awkward baths have become, and reflections on childhood baths with siblings — and even pink Crocs mishaps!
- Ozark: Jason rewatched the series and enjoyed it despite not recalling much from his first viewing years ago.
- Fargo: Discussed in relation to Ozark. Jason reflects on season 4 with Chris Rock and Jason Schwartzman, noting how their personalities didn’t quite fit the gangster roles.
