A year can change your voice. Ours did. And we avoided killing each other!! We hit record every Tuesday and built 53 episodes that zigzagged from road rage and thrift-store joy to a raw, carefully told account of the Perry High School shooting that reshaped our family. The result isn’t neat—and that’s the point. A Boomer and a Gen Xer learn to argue well, laugh hard, and lean into topics most people dodge, because that’s where the real conversations live.

We revisit the crowd favorites and also bring back the practical. Along the way, we spotlight guests who expanded the world of the show, from local service to pickleball culture to acts of everyday generosity that deserve a louder cheer.

Then we go deeper. Our most-downloaded series, A Parent’s Nightmare, unfolds with care, structure, and clear trigger warnings. We talk through how we prepared to speak on trauma, why reading from notes can be a survival skill, and what we’ve learned about parenting in the age of phones and social media. The takeaways are practical and firm: know your kids’ worlds, set boundaries early, and don’t outsource safety to screens. We keep it human, too—studio mishaps, clumsy confessions, and the family game-night logic that never quite adds up but always brings us back to the table.

Season two is a promise: more listener-driven topics, selective video moments, and deeper research where the stakes are high. Come for the laughter, stay for the candor, and leave with something useful. If you smiled, thought twice, or shouted at your dashboard, hit follow, share this episode with a friend (or an ex), and drop us your boldest topic idea. Your stories make this show better—what should we tackle next?
