Josh and Jo Podcast

Every parent's nemesis: the smartphone. Is it making our kids smarter? Come to think of it, what a genius marketing idea labeling it a "smart" phone. We think it's making our kids dumber indeed. Well, at least dumber in the human sense. Scary stats: 4 hours a day of scrolling equals to 60 days of your per year. What can, should we do about this as parents? ALL answers welcome! Ju...

A bit of a Ceko golf update and Josh admitting that he's a card carrying member of the Impulsive Dads Who Care Too Much Anonymous group. Jo says he's simply a good dad.

According to dating app managers, there's been an uptick of young men EXCLUSIVELY looking for older women to date.

Have women pigeon holed themselves and may also date older women? Are middle aged women loving this? Is this just a momentary tr...

Unless you live under a rock, you've heard about Tiger's most recent driving mishap. 8 hours in the drunk tank (allegedly) was hopefully time used to think about how much he values his life and the life of others around him when he's behind the wheel of a car. Let's get it together, Tiger! So many folks root for you. Okay, forget about everyone else, you've got kids who look up...

Beyond the sexy stuff in the bedroom, what are the ways both or throuples or quads maintain a strong bond emotionally and mentally? It's a lot of necessary work!

POD CONFESSION! Jo, as much...

The stylistics of a YouTuber couple is driving Josh absolutely nuts! I mean, it's really pissing him off! Go to "at" relationships withaly on YouTube and check it out for yourself. Jo doesn't buy it. If I ever meet a couple that speaks to each other like this, I would be running for the hills. So why do some think it's "healthy," or "admirable?" We suppose...

Speedos or trunks? Find out what Josh wears when wading in the water... And, a pet peeve of Jo's - why oh why do people say things in public and then run away from the consequences?

Josh and Jo can't believe this has not been covered in depth! Power. Dynamics. Relationships. It's so basic yet so complicated. How important is this?

The gig is up. It's Jo's achilles heel, her nightmare, her trauma, and nemesis. The depths of this only came to her consciousness after the last several pods.

A few can be so lucky! Despite their differing ex...

Top 3 favorite topic: our children and parenting in this age of social media, craziness, and all the other landmines. Have we been good parents by not being helicopter parents or should we buy ourselves some aircraft gear and become one? Helicopter parents get a bad rap but is it really bad?

We're still going! We compare and contrast what sex meant to us, how it was, and was it any good? in our teens, 20s, 30s, and beyond (far beyond in our case!). Would we do anything different?

Since we didn't forewarn our audience, it's worth mentioning that in the previous episode, "faux gag," was introduced. So if you missed it... REWIND! Big topic for Jo -- emotional cheating. She says, "It's so real." Josh surprises her and has a less harsh take than she thought. Not a fan of the overuse of the word "cheating," but it it's clear that it...
