S6E11 – Activities, Attitudes & Awkward Teen Talks: A Parenting Variety Pack

Posted on by

In this week’s parenting variety pack, we dive into the good, the bad, and the Reddit. From the eternal question of “Should I let my kid quit piano?” to family catchphrases that somehow become law, we explore it all. We also get real about the complexities of foster care in religious homes and the always-fun topic of talking to teens about birth control (spoiler: nobody wants to be the one to bring it up). Join us for laughs, feels, and a few uncomfortable flashbacks to our own teenage years.

Cocktail: Rioja Reserva Kirkland

Snack Time: Trader Joe’s Mozzarella Balls

S6E10 – The Screen Time Olympics: Everyone’s Losing

Posted on by

Welcome to the Screen Time Olympics—where the events include Netflix Negotiation, Tablet Tossing (by parents), and 100-Meter Dash to Find the Remote.

This week, we explore our complicated, co-dependent relationship with screens—those glowing rectangles that buy us peace and steal our sanity. Is screen time really the devil… or just the lesser evil when dinner’s burning and your toddler is feral?

We’re handing out zero medals, plenty of guilt, and a whole lot of laughs. Tune in to hear us discuss:

  • Why screen limits are a fantasy invented by childless people

  • The difference between “educational” and “please just be quiet” apps

  • And how we all became background characters in our kids’ YouTube videos

Spoiler: Nobody’s winning. But at least we’re all in this digital mess together.

Cocktail: Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey

Snack Time: Target’s Favorite Day Peanut Butter Chocolate Trail Mix

S6E9 – Bar Exams, Baby Bottles & Band Practice: The Making of a Horror-Writing Dad

Posted on by

What do you get when you mix a law degree, a baby monitor, a well love drum set, and a vivid imagination? You get our guest this week, J.B. Mclaurin, a Southern dad who went from courtroom dreams to creepy fiction, all while juggling diapers and guitar solos. We chat about growing up in Alabama, navigating parenthood, surviving law school, being in a rock band, and somehow finding the time to write a horror novel. Spoiler alert: coffee was involved. Lots of it. Plus a little beer too.

S6E8 – I Threw Away the Art and Survived: Parenting Truths from the Internet

Posted on by

Ever fantasized about being the perfect parent… before you actually had kids? Yeah, us too. In this episode, we dive into some hilariously relatable Reddit parenting confessions—featuring ungrateful children, guilt-free art-in-the-trash moments, and parents slowly losing their minds (but in a fun way!). If your kid just screamed because their banana broke in half or you’re secretly hiding in the bathroom for peace, this one’s for you. Grab a snack (you probably won’t get to eat it), and let’s laugh through the chaos together.
