This episode features tips for living with an asshole and a happy ending… that’s left unsaid.

Years before Covid-19, Eric and Jo and their small child lived in close quarters in an isolated “homestead” high in the southern Rockies.

Still waiting in the noisy Moulin Rouge Starbucks, Jo and Eric discuss their favorite parts of being married and how Eric escaped the misery of his single life by getting in touch with his inner asshole.

This is… Marriage: In a Starbucks across from the Moulin Rouge, Johanna and Eric find a quiet corner (not really) to recall single life and its struggles.

This is… Marriage: On a rainy day in Paris, Johanna and Eric find a quiet corner (kind of) in the Pompidou Center to discuss how they struggle to listen to each other and can’t quite agree on the events that led up to their engagement over a decade earlier.

Hi, I’m journalist Eric Mack. Back in 2016, my wife — author Johanna DeBiase — and I recorded a series of short, frank conversations leading up to our tenth wedding anniversary.
