Grab a glass of wine (and maybe order some takeout) because Jen & Chris Fenton are back with another heartfelt, hilarious, and deliciously real episode of Plate & Ponder: Empty-Nesting with Jen & Chris Fenton!

Chris can’t stop geeking out over the brand-new Michael Jackson biopic Michael and Michael’s lifelong infatuation with dance legend Bob Fosse—complete with moves, music, and the kind of choreography that still gives them chills. Then the mood flips to pure family joy as they relive the epic Faux Father’s Day surprise Jen and the kids threw for Chris—full of love, laughs, and zero actual neckties.

Of course the celebration involved their forever-favorite restaurant: the iconic Pizzeria Mozza, where they’ve been loyal regulars for a jaw-dropping 19 years. They spill all the secrets on those legendary meatballs and the addictive spicy tomato sauce that keeps them coming back (warning: you WILL get hungry).

They also cheer on Princeton’s fantastic college lacrosse season (huge congrats, Tigers!), vent about the absolute insanity of buying a car in 2026—why the process feels engineered to drive you insane—and share the highs, lows, and hilarious truths of empty-nest life.

Food, family, pop culture, and zero-filter real talk… this one has it all. Press play—you’ll be smiling, craving Italian, and maybe rethinking your next car purchase before the credits roll.
