"The One With... Jay's Cousin Lori" kicks off our two-part season finale with what can only be described as Grant's attempt at investigative journalism – if investigative journalism involved interrogating your co-host's cousin about childhood trauma and angry ginger origins.

Enter Lori, Jay's cousin and childhood partner-in-crime, who grew up more like a sister to our beloved Angry Ginger. Grant, armed with the subtlety of a sledgehammer and the determination of a true-crime podcaster, dives straight into the deep end. What was life really like growing up with an alcoholic mother? Who hurt little Jason? And the question burning in Grant's mind like a forgotten Hot Pocket in the microwave: has anyone actually seen Jay cry?

This episode peels back 47 years of Jason's life like an onion – marriages, kids, affairs, divorce, dating – the whole enchilada of human experience. From mountaintop moments to valley-dwelling lows, nothing is off-limits. But in classic "On Hiatus" fashion, what starts as Grant's mission to expose Jay's hidden depths ends up revealing something unexpected about himself. (No spoilers here, folks – you'll have to press play to uncover that gem!)

Stay tuned for next week's grand finale where the tables turn and Grant brings on a mystery guest. Who could it be? Let's just say Jay's got some questions of his own locked and loaded.

Breaking news: Grant might actually join the digital world in Season 4 to help manage the show's social media. He actually hasn't commited to this nor is he aware that it's something that will be brought up in an upcoming On Hiatus Team Meeting... so we'll see.

Thanks for letting us share our mental health journey with you this season. Join us next week for our final episode of the year, where we promise to maintain our tradition of questionable decisions and unexpected revelations!

P.S. Grant still wants to know if anyone's seen Jay cry. The investigation continues...
