This is the episode where Sharon and Jesse talk about the other woman in Jesse's life. Jesse refers to it as "the worst podcast," as other difficult family and financial issues are brought up as they just dig in and go for it. Their hope is that finally talking openly about all these things instead of just referencing them in arguments will lead to a better marriage... but they also aren't sure if it's a good idea either. We shall see...
