There’s a hidden danger lurking in your subtitles that might be quietly ruining your favorite shows. We unpack that, plus the New York Times’ surprising new moneymaker (hint: it's not journalism). Also in this episode: a science-backed way to get people to like you that doesn’t involve changing who you are. And we get real about what men are silently battling right now and how we...

Chloe confesses to something cringey she did back in high school. We dive into a bizarre case of “reverse AI” where the roles of humans and robots are confused.

Aaron gets real about what being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult has meant for him, and how it could be a matter of saving a job or a marriage for people. Chloe brings on a surprise guest and successfully completes a Fresh Start ambush. Plus, we translate some classic Christianese phrases into plain English — because not everyone speaks fluent church.

Are singlets still a thing, or have we quietly retired them with our childhood lunchboxes? One of us falls headfirst into a social media ad rabbit hole (spoiler: it involved a very unnecessary fashion accessory), and we chat about the stealthy art of disappearing as a parent so your kid doesn’t die of secondhand embarrassment. Plus— there is something only some people can smell. Do you...

Who’s the secretly vain one on the team? Spoiler: it’s not who you think. This episode, we’re talking about what to do when a child casually wrecks your self-esteem (“You look kinda bad today”), whether asking someone if they’re tired is basically an insult, and if modern parenting has gone too soft. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When does an explanation become  mansplaining ? Why are men so drawn to sitting on roofs? And what exactly is Chloe doing with her breakfast that has everyone deeply concerned? Plus, Aaron gets vulnerable about a quiet anxiety many carry but few talk about.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s a full house as Aaron and Chloe welcome their mums live in the studio—and absolutely nothing is off limits. The mums prove to be total loose cannons, and the chaos from childhood confessions to parenting advice, it’s all on the table. Aaron stuns everyone with the magic words Chloe’s been waiting to hear, and she calls for the show to end. Plus: a rogue ringtone causes...

This week, Chloe confesses a habit she probably shouldn't share publicly (but does anyway). Aaron recounts a weekend story that sends her stress levels soaring. Together, they delve into a surprisingly passionate debate: why do women's clothes STILL lack decent pockets? (We have thoughts.) Then, things take a thoughtful turn as they unpack how perceptions of "church" have changed over the years&md...

Chloe’s got a parenting confession that proves—once again—she’s not cut out for homeschooling (her words!). Aaron brings a pronunciation fail we’ve all been making for decades, and things get spicy when they debate whether the thumbs up emoji is secretly passive-aggressive. Also: the world’s most inconvenient first name, and a raw, honest moment in this week&rsq...

Aaron takes on a portion of a half-marathon (we’re proud, even if he needed a nap). Chloe attempts mind reading (with mixed results), and we ask the age-old question: can husbands actually cook? Plus—are you and your partner the stick-together type at parties, or do you split and regroup at the snack table? And fellas, which one are you deep down: cowboy, samurai, or pirate? (Yes, it s...

Chloe takes on the self-service checkout (and let’s just say, it’s a battle). Meanwhile, Aaron attempts to prepare for part of a half-marathon—panic included. Plus—are we all overhyping coffee, or is it truly the fuel of life? And we give some much-needed appreciation to the real MVP of road trips: the humble petrol station. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informati...

Aaron’s shocking teeth-brushing confession, the mystery of the supermarket scoop section, and a chat with The Chosen ’s Simon Peter & Andrew . Plus, Aaron ( sort of ) prepares to run a part of a half-marathon! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Supposedly, touchscreens are out, and old-school dials and knobs are making a comeback—but why? Also, where do all the lost bowling shoes go? (We have theories.) Plus—public spill horror stories (we’ve all been there), and we dive into one of life’s biggest questions: What’s the way to heaven? Join us for laughs, mystery, and a meaningful conversation—only on Th...

Chloe wasn’t sure about a big change—and Aaron offered no help. Plus, we chat stay at home Mum vs working Mum life. Then, we take a trip down memory lane to revisit our most cringe-worthy first email addresses (prepare to judge). And finally, a shocking con artist story sparks a deeper conversation about trust, truth, and how important hope is today. See omnystudio.com/listener fo...

Are pets in the bed gross or just next-level cozy? Could a family sock bin be a genius life hack—or a hygiene nightmare? And what’s the one thing cruise ships refuse to allow onboard? (It’s weirder than you think.) Plus—Chloe’s unique approach to binge-watching and the only correct way to watch TV. (Yes, there’s a right way.) Join us for big opinions, good-natur...

Why do we completely freeze when asked for a fun fact ? (Chloe’s might surprise you!) And here’s a question—when you picture an apple in your head, do you actually see one? Some people do. Others? Nothing. (It’s a real thing, and it’s wild.) Also: Are lost school hats fueling an underground trade? We investigate. And we dive into the unexpected link between fear and b...
