  • We Announced a Baby and Reddit Declared War

    We Announced a Baby and Reddit Declared War
    Feb 4 2026
    Jason and Emily wade into the Reddit comment swamp after Emily’s birth announcement goes mildly viral, unpacking why enjoying motherhood somehow earned them the labels “pro-natalist” and “ultra-conservative.” They talk through what was actually said, what people heard, and why the internet seems allergic to women liking their own lives. Along the way, they share a scary moment when one of their kids was almost taken in a Walmart, plus the latest baffling wellness trend sweeping the nation: house burping. Because in 2026, nothing says cultural discourse like kidnapping scares and releasing trapped air from your living room.

  • Emily’s Middle Earth Birth Plan

    Emily’s Middle Earth Birth Plan
    Jan 28 2026
    Emily and Jason sit down to discuss their current birth “plan”… which is really more of a loose collection of highly questionable options. There’s the hospital. There’s the shack. There’s the home birth. There’s the possibility of free-birthing on their way to Alaska. No matter where it happens, one thing is non-negotiable: the birth must be Middle-earth themed. 00:00 Prepping for the Winter Storm 10:53 Lord of the Rings 20:29 Feeling unprepared for birth 25:37 Free-birthing 29:22 Disclaimer: Emily’s content warning 46:30 Modern medicine Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Reflection in the Darkness

    Reflection in the Darkness
    Jan 14 2026
    What actually makes a fear irrational—and who gets to decide? This week, Jason and Emily talk about the fears that don’t always make sense… and the ones that absolutely do. From being afraid of the dark to worrying about things that may never happen, they unpack where fear comes from, why some people carry more of it than others, and how much of it is instinct versus imagination.

    Emily Can’t Handle a Talking To (Plus Big News)
    Dec 31 2025
    It’s the final episode of the year, and we are going out exactly the way you’d expect. Emily admits she simply cannot handle getting a talking to, no matter how gentle or well intentioned it is, and Jason has thoughts about that. From there, the conversation turns reflective as we talk honestly about where we think we’ll be in five years and what we hope life, work, family, and the show might look like beyond that. We wrap things up by closing the year together and sharing some BIG NEWS that sets the tone for what’s coming next. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Are we doing enough?

    Are we doing enough?
    Dec 24 2025
    It’s the most emotional time of the year. At least according to the internet. In this episode, Jason and Emily talk about why so many holiday videos right now feel designed to make you cry and whether that kind of sentiment actually connects or just feels forced. They discuss the pressure to manufacture meaningful moments, the difference between genuine nostalgia and emotional marketing, and why Christmas content has turned into a competition for tears. They also get into holiday get-togethers, family dynamics, and the expectations that come with them, plus a look back at old Christmas ad campaigns and why they felt different. Funny, honest, and refreshingly grounded, this episode is a breather from the seasonal overload. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
