If you grew up in the 80s or 90s and now find yourself parenting while trying to keep up with pop culture and football - this one’s for you.

In this Halloween Throwback Episode, Gardner (rocking full 80s nerd energy) and Michelle (the queen of high ponies and mean-girl vibes) dive into the week’s chaos:

Beetlejuice 2 — surprisingly funny and actually better than the original?

The Running Man and why Glen Powell might be the perfect modern anti-hero

NFL Week 8 — Gardner nails his predictions (almost), Michelle calls out Zay Flowers

Parenting wins — toddler singing ABCs, fall photos gone sideways, and Halloween costume exposure therapy

It’s nostalgic, ridiculous, and totally relatable for anyone trying to balance kids, work, and the few sacred minutes of “me time” left in a day.

Follow The Family Timeout Podcast for weekly millennial therapy disguised as sports, pop culture, and parenting talk.

This week, Gardner finally says what everyone’s afraid to admit: Halloween Town might actually be trash. Michelle disagrees. Strongly.

We also get into the latest Love Is Blind meltdowns, the return of Buffy and Hocus Pocus on Michelle’s Halloween watchlist, and whether Agatha is living up to WandaVision.

On the parenting front, our toddler has decided that only Mom is allowed to read bedtime stories. Gardner is feeling replaced and definitely not being dramatic about it.

Meanwhile, Michelle’s fantasy football team continues to dominate despite a roster full of injuries. Gardner manages a Smooch of Approval but is mostly just trying to recover.

Real talk on pop culture, parenting, and the petty fights that keep marriage interesting.

Michelle’s middle school crush dreams may finally come true — Katy Perry is reportedly dating Justin Trudeau, which means Orlando Bloom is back on the market. Naturally, she’s ready to shoot her shot.

We also dive into:

– Love Is Blind and why we can’t look away

– A Chiefs player getting punched post-game

– Halloween decorating with our toddler (and how that’s going)

– Gardner’s NFL Week 6 picks (only five wrong last week)

It’s marriage banter, reality TV takes, parenting updates, and football chaos just another week in the timeout.

This week had it all: NFL upsets, Taylor Swift album review, and a mountain road trip with a toddler on the loose.

We give our honest take on Taylor Swift's new album: Life of a Showgirl, break down a chaotic week across the league, and react to the Ravens’ total collapse. Gardner picks this week’s Smooch of Approval, Michelle brings the heat in QB Court, and we recap parenting wins and fails from our first big trip with a duck-waddling toddler.

If you like football takes, real-life parenting stories, and calling out nonsense wherever it shows up, you’re in the right place.

🎧 New episodes every Thursday. Come hang with us.

The Ravens collapse, Michelle roasts NFL QBs in our new QB Court segment, and Gardner gives Rory McIlroy a Smooch of Approval for flipping off the Ryder Cup crowd.

Meanwhile, our toddler melts down over her Halloween costume and only string cheese can save us.

It’s football chaos, parenting fails, and a whole lot of yelling (some of it in golf).

New segments, bold takes, real-life mess. Tune in.

The Ravens lose (again), Derrick Henry fumbles (again), and Gardner spirals, so yeah, we’re not okay. In this week’s Family Timeout, Gardner and Michelle break down week 3 NFL heartbreaks, questionable coaching, and whether Mahomes really deserved praise for that wild backwards pass.

We also introduce our brand new segment: “Smooch of Approval” Who will be the lucky player this week?

In parenting timeouts: our toddler kisses the Roomba and refuses to color with Michelle. Plus: Big Brother updates, new show recs.

This week on The Family Timeout Podcast, Michelle and Gardner break down the Ravens’ rollercoaster win over the Browns, fantasy football frustrations (RIP Derrick Henry), and the chaos surrounding the Chiefs’ “Free 4” shirts. We debate whether Lamar’s back, if Joe Burrow deserves better, and why DVRing games as parents is both a blessing and a curse. In pop culture, we cover Taylor Frankie Paul as the new Bachelorette, Sean White’s breakup, Emmy highlights, and the disturbing Unknown Caller documentary. Plus, our daughter might be ready for potty training and may or may not be seeing ghost babies. It’s parenting, sports, and pop culture… with timeouts for everyone.

Michelle and Gardner are back for Episode 2 of The Family Timeout Podcast! After swearing the pod was over following the Ravens SNF meltdown (spoiler: it’s not), they dive into:

Ravens heartbreak, Bills luck, and a fan punching Lamar Jackson.

Big Brother twists, Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce news, and a questionable Aaron Rodgers “revenge game.”

Fantasy football highs, lows, and getting bullied by a 19-month-old.
