Josh and Jo Podcast

Jo asks if Josh he’s familiar with the term, “Ride or Die,” when it comes to labeling a romantic partner. Josh thinks that term sounds more like a t-shirt a motorcycle enthusiast might have donned in the late 70s.  In classic Josh and Jo fashion, Jo seems to lean traditional in her romantic commentary while Josh continues in a more progressive journey. As always, the giggles beat out the shoulder...

What don’t people know about us?  Do we have secret skills, powers and hobbies we’re proud or ashamed of?  What happens when nobody’s looking?  Some of it is boring.  Some of it is surprising.  Dove calls… beer can tipping… Squeegee anyone? Jo took license using the word "fetish." Might be a little click-bait because maybe we're not that risque (I think), so please share us yours and...

Does this really need an intro?

Jo's super excited to finally record this podcast to talk about two very different dating styles of Josh and Mike. From flowers or no flowers to how fast do you want to get to know someone and decide... it's an enlightening conversation! But are they really very different? Listen and find out! P.S. We both think Mike coming up with the phrase, "dating fatigue" was cool.

Exercise. Movement. Endorphins. Dopamine. Whatever you’re going through, there’s one thing for sure: being active helps us all mentally, physically and emotionally. Take a run with us on this podcast and hear how being physical gets us through the tough times. Let’s Roll!

Josh and Jo reflect on changes they’ve made as they continue to grow and evolve in a collective attempt to be better human beings. These efforts include trying to understand how physical touch can positively affect non-romantic relationships…how a hug can make a difference in showing someone you love and appreciate them… deciding to finally play golf with Ceko… assessing how less important NRE is…...

Josh and Jo are a little pod rusty having been here, there and everywhere in the last two weeks. However, we're back at it to discuss the challenges of SINGLE PARENTING and the somewhat unsung hero single dads also doing it all. Also, relationship compromises... what/how do we give up or give in to to stay in a relationship? Is Cuddle Pillow status fair to anyone? Listen in as, yet again, the...

This is dedicated to a listener who shared with us that our podcast helped her re-define her narrative and understand her behavior within past relationships. Josh and Jo share their personal struggles in their own lives. Some items are serious grave health issues, while others are slightly more workish and mundane. We talk about how we’re adulting our way through it all, gaining perspective along...

As the saying goes, “A rose by another name is just the same.” Josh determined that "detached dating" is a term being used more often is just pretty much Polyamory Lite. What are the pros and cons of detached dating? And, isn’t this what most people are doing whether they admit it or not? Is it really so bad? And, lightning round questions for Josh to pick his brain on how he would handl...

Jo’s been deluged with instagram feeds in which men and women give dating and relationship advice. Danny Morel, a self-proclaimed Life Coach, wildly frustrates Jo so she naturally asks Josh for HIS take. In this episode, we provide three advice examples followed by Josh and Jo comments. As always, Josh goes deeper and rides in with a twist. We hope this helps others stay away from the crazy out th...

Josh and Jo take a sex IQ test LIVE. See how they score! Of course, it wouldn’t be a Josh and Jo Podcast if we didn’t deviate from the topic and make fun of ourselves and each other…. Take the test yourself and see how you do! As always, if you have any questions or lingering thoughts on the matter, DM us on @joshandjo12866 or email at joshandjo12866@gmail.com. Your privacy will be respected. Here...

Josh and Jo discuss the parallels of coaching and parenting.  Nothing is more important than generational improvement and that’s the ultimate goal. Whether it’s rocking a podcast to level up on communication skills or coaching our kids as they navigate sports and life, Josh and Jo explain why they put in the time.  Did we already say nothing is more important?  We’ll keep saying it…  Also, a shout...

Josh and Jo explore the reasons why people don’t say “when” when they know in their gut that a relationship is over.  Should I stay or should I go?  This is such a tough conversation that Jo gave herself a concussion by pounding her head against the microphone in frustration.  When you find yourself thinking about throwing in the towel because of a transgression, the loss of romantic feelings or p...

Josh and Jo sit with Melissa, a probation officer for juveniles, to discuss the importance of clear of communication to ensure consent in matters related to intimacy. We offer some suggestions on how to teach the younger generation a healthier approach to sex. Consent isn’t solely a safety/respect issue, it can also be a significant turn on when is comes from all parties with considerable abundanc...

Josh and Jo share the regrets they have in their lives. However, they quickly realize that regretting isn’t their style. Rather, they try to make good decisions and when they do not, they try understand the why and work through the consequences.

Is Josh an Osho reincarnate?  Definitely, maybe.  Here’s what happened:  Christina handed Josh a book called, “Being in Love,” by Osho because, well, turns out, she is intuitive.  Josh had never heard of the controversial yet intriguing philosopher, but being the nerd he is in regards to appreciating alternative thought and philosophy, he committed to reading it at a later time.  Jo noticed the bo...

Josh and Jo start by issuing blanket apologies on behalf of their genders’ missteps and oversights. Do any of these sound familiar to you?  The tone gets a little more serious when Josh and Jo talk about forgiveness and apologies in their own lives and conclude with this simple fact:  If you’re an a$$hole, be good at forgiving because you’re gonna need a lot of it!

69 is not the magic number.  Josh and Jo are very forgiving people, but can they live up to what a book suggests – that we should forgive 70 x 7 times (ergo, essentially infinitely)?  Josh has a cheat sheet on forgiving.  C’mon, of course he does!  In fact, he remembers a song by Dave Mason called, “We Just Disagree,” from his childhood. No one’s perfect.  So why not forgive?  For Jo, well, she mo...

We’re pretty certain that all of us has been affected by infidelity.  As a partner, child, or friend… we’re either directly involved or indirectly touched by this topic. In this episode, we talk about some of our personal experiences and along with folks close to us.  Josh’s take on infidelity is refreshing and unique while Jo walks us through “The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity,” by Esth...

It’s a terrible word and terrible to experience. Josh and Jo talk through it. Like all matters of the heart, it’s a tough subject and with this podcast, we are committed to talking about the tough stuff…

Newest Josh and Ceko adventure and Gavin Rossdale happened to be there!  Josh and Jo have a hot and heavy discussion about our personal experiences with dating when we were younger.  Jo shares the conundrum that she feels women MAY have dating in their 20s, 30s and beyond. It’s her perspective, she admits.  Josh counters with his own perspective. There’s no right or wrong answer which is why there...

Because the last one was so much fun, Josh and Jo are freestyling again!  Covering blockbusters we didn’t see and probably will never see and why. Rewind and add to previous conversations about those ubiquitous Dating Apps (ARRGGGHHHH!!), Ghosting (PAINFUL!!!!), and Maintaining Your Identity (YES!!!!!).

The Cupps hit the road to Myrtle Beach!  Long drives, golf, beach, BP… whatever they do together, Josh always has a way of turning experiences into life-long lessons for Ceko.  Did Ceko choose Chick-Fil-A or Hooters for lunch?  Maybe the apple DOES sometimes fall a touch further from the tree. Listen and find out!  And… a “Joshsplanation” addressing the previous podcast on Narratives as Jo admits...

How do you want to tell your story?  Josh and Jo challenge listeners to think about the story they create for themselves and project to others.  The way we think will be the way we act/react and determine how the world will view us.  When does perspective resulting from one event transform into a narrative that occupies your subconscious and dictates how you act and interact with others. This is i...

Josh and Jo discuss the historic LSU vs. Iowa NCAA women's basketball championship. Rating the athletes on abilities and sportsmanship on the court, and the aftermath. A gesture by First Lady Jill Biden gone bad. As a former professional athlete, hear Josh's take on the much-debated on-the-court gestures and trash talking by athletes and how to win/lose gracefully.
