Are we raising kids to be resilient or raising them to expect a trophy just for showing up?

In this episode, Jay, Dave, and Kris dive into the differences between old-school parenting and raising kids today. From participation trophies and helicopter parents to consequences, discipline, social media, instant gratification, and the simple power of being told “NO,” the conversation asks whether protecting kids from disappointment is actually preparing them for the real world—or setting them up for a much harder reality later.

The crew gets personal about their own experiences with parenting, growing up, sports, careers, relationships, and the failures that helped shape who they became. Dave talks about wrestling teaching him how to fight through adversity, Kris explains why sometimes you have to fail your way through A, B, and C before finally finding D, and Jay shares how one of his biggest early career failures ultimately led him to the fire service—and a completely different path in life.

They also tackle how social media has changed the game, showing young people everyone else's highlight reel without showing the failures, hard work, rejection, and struggle that happened behind the scenes.

At the heart of the conversation is one question: Does good parenting mean preventing your kids from falling—or giving them what they need to get back up when they do?

It's an unfiltered conversation about parenting, failure, resilience, respect, consequences, and learning the hard way—with plenty of laughs, questionable life advice, and at least one friendship Kris considers her greatest failure. 😂

In Episode 38, “What Happened to Common Courtesy?”, Jay, Dave, and Colleen break down the everyday manners that seem to be disappearing—from holding doors and shopping cart etiquette to customer service, driving, phone manners, and dealing with people in public. It’s funny, blunt, slightly inappropriate, and full of the kind of real-life frustrations we all think about but probably shouldn’t say out loud.

Artificial Intelligence is changing the world faster than ever—but are we embracing it, resisting it... or simply complying?

In this episode, the crew dives into the rapidly evolving world of AI, exploring how it's transforming our daily lives, workplaces, and the future of society. From convenience and innovation to privacy concerns, ethical dilemmas, and the possibility of AI making decisions for us, the conversation tackles both the excitement and the uncertainty surrounding this powerful technology.

Will AI make our lives better... or are we giving up more control than we realize?
