After a week off thanks to Yashua’s back acting up (because apparently this is what being in your 30s is like), Yashua and Ashley catch up on life. They talk about how HelloFresh has made weeknight dinners easier, why they always add extra seasoning, and how The Farmer’s Dog led into today’s topic: pets.

Yashua shares a recent health scare with her 13-year-old Cocker Spaniel, BearPaw, that led to switching dog food, while Ashley talks about her lab, Feeny, and Yashua's "grandchild" Frank the Tank. And because it’s them… they keep getting distracted by the rain outside while recording.

Quick life update: our backs are fighting us. Yashua may have re-aggravated her sciatica, Ashley says her back hurts from “carrying her job,” and apparently we might need Biofreeze, Tiger Balm, or entirely new chairs. Send help.

Yashua shares the emotional rollercoaster of getting ready to relist her house — new listing photos, pre-approvals, and possibly house shopping in New York. She’s nervous about repeating the last experience and getting her hopes up again.

Then we dive into today’s chaos: Reddit’s Am I the Asshole? Yashua reads, Ashley judges, and then we compare her verdict to what Reddit decided. There’s a tangent about the importance of names, an unexpected Puerto Rican pride moment, and Yashua getting distracted trying to sign a listing contract mid-episode.

We wrap with something simple but important: let your kids express themselves freely in their own home.

Pain, property, pride, and petty internet drama — just another episode.

This episode gets vulnerable.

Yashua opens up emotionally, and Ashley follows as we talk about needing support but not knowing how to ask for it. Growing up independent and self-sufficient shaped our relationship in ways we didn’t realize — sometimes making love feel like a responsibility instead of a choice.

We also dive into pathological envy, malicious envy, insecurity, and the attractiveness halo effect — and how comparison culture quietly fuels resentment.

If you struggle with communication, independence, or hidden jealousy, this one’s for you.
