In our previous episode, John and Linnea challenged each other to complete a list of tasks that they themselves would normally do — but this time, as the other person. Linnea’s whimsical list for John included everyday Linnea activities like making art and avoiding gluten, while John tasked Linnea with some classic “John-type” challenges, including heavy weightlifting and a few surprises along the way.In this episode, the two reconnect to share what it was actually like pretending to be each other. John reflects on the afterglow of shaving his head and the surprisingly deep (and occasionally awkward) conversations sparked by asking strangers their astrological signs. Meanwhile, Linnea reveals what it was like to channel her inner John for a week and how it shifted her perspective on discipline, identity, and strength.What started as a social experiment—or maybe even a bit of performance art—turned into something deeper. Both came away with new insights, a few laughs, and perhaps even some unexpected new hobbies.
