Singlets, Superpowers & Social Media Traps 02.06.2025

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...

When Kids Roast You & Adults Pretend Not to (Ep 12) 26.05.2025

Who’s the secretly vain one on the team? Spoiler: it’s not who you think.

Knobs, Bowling Shoes & Life’s Biggest Question (Ep 4) 17.03.2025

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.)
