Marriage used to feel like the default. Now it feels like a question mark.

In this episode of Brother Sister Whatever, Lisa and Josh talk honestly about marriage in midlife — the expectations we were raised with, how relationships have changed, and whether marriage still makes sense in today’s world.

We get into:

• Why marriage feels different now than it did for our parents

• The emotional, financial, and mental load of long-term commitment

• Staying married vs choosing peace, growth, or independence

• Whether marriage still matters — or if the meaning has just changed

No hot takes. No judgment. Just a real sibling conversation about love, partnership, and what “worth it” actually means in 2026.

🎙️ New episodes every Thursday.

It’s our BSW Holiday Special — the one where Lisa and Josh talk about what it was like growing up without Christmas, how weird it felt watching other kids celebrate, and what the holidays look like for us now as adults (and parents) trying to figure it all out in real time.

We’re also diving into our “Holiday Power Couples” sibling showdown — Mariah Carey vs Kevin McCallister, Jack Skellington vs Batman, Clark Griswold vs John McClane.

Plus: the holiday characters we accidentally relate to now, the traditions we’re learning on the fly, and how midlife has turned December into equal parts magic and meltdown.

If your holiday energy is somewhere between The Grinch and Kate McCallister sprinting through the airport, welcome home.

New BSW every Thursday starting in 2026— come hang out in the festive chaos with us.

We’re diving head-first into the decade that raised us — and testing just how much our 40-year-old brains actually remember. From 90s rapid-fire “Name It or Lose It” rounds to the 80s This or That showdown, it’s pure sibling chaos with a midlife twist.

We hit the classics: Saturday-morning cartoons, after-school snacks, TGIF shows, toys we begged for, music videos we memorized, and all the iconic moments that shaped our childhood. Then we slow down (for like a minute) for some midlife real talk — the habits we swore we’d never pick up, the comfort rituals we now defend with our whole chest, and the memories that hit way harder in our 40s.

It’s fast, funny, nostalgic, and painfully relatable.
