    The GoFundMe Dilemma No One Talks About
    Feb 18 2026
    What happens when generosity meets the internet? This week, Emily and Jason talk about GoFundMe campaigns, cheerful giving, and the awkward tension of watching someone you donated to book a beach vacation. They unpack the heart behind giving, the expectations we attach to it, and why it’s harder than we think to truly let go. Also: the end of the world, and the presidential announcement that aliens are real. Music Bed Licenses MB01DWKDR4I03W0 MB01UEBR9CKWXDV Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The Internet Has a Copycat Problem
    Feb 13 2026
    What happens when you scroll past a big creator’s video and realize… you’ve seen it before because … it was yours?

    What If You Just Don’t Like Sports?
    Feb 11 2026
    We’re sporty people, but we have a confession: we aren’t into sports. That means no favorite teams, no water cooler discussions about the game, no getting invited to Super Bowl parties. Anyone else out there like that? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • 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.
