After two months away from the mic, Jim had an itch to sit down and catch up on life. Jim has been increasingly relying on 'chat' in all the areas of life that he finds of utmost importance and Jim's wife is curiously assessing this relationship. Spoiler; some patterns are emerging and we are not just talking about his palm reading. According to chat GPT a slopper is an internet insult associated...

If only Jim could be like Matt Damon, because then he could be himself. Unpacking Jim's fear of the scrabble pieces. It's weird. Mamas and toddlers and being 47...the throughline is striking. Is all the biohacking showing us something about mortality avoidance? Mama birds' regurgitation feeding isn't just for the birds. Chat GPT as a therapist? No. Be forever young? How about.... forever individua...

This is a episode of spoilers. Jim and his wife read "The History of Sound" by Ben Shattuck, and they discuss their reactions and reflections on the book, so be prepared for spoilers. They also discuss the most recent Knives Out movie, "Wake Up Dead Man" and that discussion is also full of spoilers. What does, 'okay, Internet' mean and why it should be a movement. And finally, in an unexpected tur...

Welcome to Nah Fam's last episode of 2025. It's a good one. Jim and his wife explore what has been meaningful and personal to them throughout the year... and what can't be said. They find themselves in a time of transition, 'crisis', reflection, grief and of course...growth. ChatGPT compared Jim's wife's life journey to that of Frodo Baggins. Why? How? This appears to gross out Jim. While the two...

Summer is winding down and we find ourselves in that in between space-caught between the freedom of summer and the structure of autumn. In today's episode, Jim sits down with his wife to catch up on life. He's been pushing through the season's most intense heat in preparation for his upcoming marathon, while she continues to dive more deeply into esoteric interests and admittedly, a moderate TikTo...

Jim and his wife sit down to record for the first time in months to talk about the recent passing of their dog, marathon training, Aruba, family, their relationship and acceptance of reality. Enjoy!

Welcome to the end of the year. In today's episode Jim and his wife talk about what has been going on for them in recent days as well as the thing about a nightstand, a full cup of water and an iPad...The kids have been home for the holidays!

Jim and his wife are talking about the current headlines in their little world today. Enjoy.

Hello! Today we are reporting on Jim's "obsession" with Noah Kahan and the news that most captures his attention... and why? We connect over our reflections on our ever-evolving family. Jim's wife is realizing that she is experiencing a rebirth, in a way.... We dialogue some about psychoanalysis school, how parenting with only one at home has Jim's wife feeling so chill much of the time, but could...

Eleven years together. Our most recent realizations about ourselves come from the kids moving out. Leaning in or letting go with what we fear? People pleasing parent or possessive parent? You're probably leaning in the direction of one or the other. Repeating history, the idea of intergenerational trauma and how most of us are dealing with it in some capacity. Where does it show up for us? The roy...

This episode is far and wide reaching in topics... Jim's puzzling communication, aging parents, aging kids, weird times. The move to a new home that still does not feel like home even though you know eventually it will era. A reflection on parenting and owning controlling behavior blind spots and the consequences of owning such behavior. Individuation. Individuation. Individuation. Also, landlines...

It has been a bit chaotic over here for the past couple of weeks. We sat down a few days ago to record but we were interrupted in the middle of our conversation. We had planned to return to recording but then we didn't. However, we wanted to share what we have of a discussion over our experience related to moving two of the kids into college and how it's been for us in the days following. This epi...

The Childish Gambino concert was out of this word. We watched St Elmo's fire the other day and by the end we were hysterically crying. Literally. Jim's wife had a timely, and moving epiphany this week as it relates to our family, and it left her full of gratitude, and love. Nathan has a very good-looking dad. Clothes; old and new and donated.

A recap of our travels to the unsalted coast last week. How we did with changing a tire on the expressway. What to do about lettuce in toilets. We like social districts and quaint Lake MI towns and when they’re together, its the bee's knees. Can we please just have one episode where we don't talk about the boys' upcoming move to college?! Spoiler; no, at least not for now because it's making our l...

This week our nostalgia tour took us to the meeting place of our adult self with our child self and it was weird. Today we are taking another trip down memory lane and revisiting some of our childhood favorites as some long-lost core memories resurface. Our memories include but are not limited to; Romancing The Stone, American Tail, Hostess treats, newspaper routes, babysitting, Pogo Balls, our fa...

We've been biking a lot lately. Jim is asked how he'd like to be at the end of his life. Dissecting the intersection (is there one?) of eastern and western thought...integration and transcendence. What are the motivations and actions of our respective enemies? On the flip side, what is it about us that can invoke an enemy? Jim's wife builds a case for how truth and peace can happen simultaneously....

Jim and his wife just returned from a trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. In true UP fashion, it was a trip full of picturesque landscapes, okay food and a couple of magical experiences. We are getting ever so closer to losing 75% of our children to 'adulthood.' We are not going to talk about politics...until we do.

Jim is recapping his wife's romantic gestures as of late, and the current canine scene in the house. Then, Jim talks about his relationship with the word 'awesome' and the underlying force which drives its overuse in his vocabulary. Jim tells us what his coach says about his wife and finally, 'still face." It's all good stuff.

Jim's big ideas about big ideas. The meme that broke Jim.

The new home office. DMB Diaries; the venue, the parking, the pit, the setlists, the people, the dynamics. Jim's wife is hoping to go back to school. Personal aesthetics; how we organize and reveal ourselves through what we wear and how we make our home...and er, Jim's socials. Pink v. Purple. Debates on color. And finally, we talk about how much we can still enjoy each other, thanks much to this...

We hosted the high school graduation parties this weekend. What is next for the graduates? Jim's wife had a bit of a full-blown reality check on her anxious parenting ways. Jim's most recent coaching session asked him to consider his relationship with internal and external authority. And in the midst of telling us about it, he is interrupted by his wife which leads down a rabbit hole... and subseq...

There is not more to add in the notes that is not already in the title. Enjoy!
