We’ve been sitting on a HUGE secret, and for the first time ever—we’re finally sharing it with you. This episode goes deep: Should men be emotional, or is it still seen as a turn-off? How do men and women really handle emotions differently, and what does that mean for relationships today? Plus, we’re breaking down how to choose a partner who actually supports you, instead of one who drags you down.

If you’ve ever wondered what really makes a relationship work (and what doesn’t), this one’s for you.

This week on Full Nelson, we’re serving up hot takes you didn’t know you needed. Like… why Texas Roadhouse might secretly have the best Caesar salad from a chain restaurant in America (yes, we’re ready to die on that hill). Why a DM from Sheetz—the holy grail of Central Pennsylvania gas stations…just changed Amanda’s life yet again. And why we’d rather trust a Waymo autonomous car than 90% of the humans on the road.

Then it gets personal: Amanda opens up about going from over 200 pounds to a completely different life—more confidence, better clothes, and yes… more opportunities. But our take on weight loss might ruffle some feathers.

You’re either going to nod along or yell at us. Either way, you’re going to want to hear this one.

In this episode of Full Nelson, we’re recapping our recent trip to Italy—yes, with a one-year-old in tow—and sharing what it’s really like travelling internationally as new parents. We get into everything from flight logistics to nap time at Lake Como to how Amanda always needs another trip on the books (because obviously).

We also open up about a topic that’s been on our minds: why we originally chose not to show our son’s face on social media, and why we’ve shifted that perspective. It’s a real conversation about privacy, safety, and the changing way we share family life online.

Other highlights? We talk about how people are way too casual about things like magnets, parrots talking, and vinyl records (seriously—how are we not more amazed?). Plus, we reflect on the homes we grew up in versus the life we’re building now—like casually buying a million-dollar home in Austin with no generational wealth behind us. Spoiler: it’s surreal, and we don’t take it for granted.

Whether you’re here for the toddler travel tips, the marriage real talk, or just to laugh at how unhinged we sound when we get philosophical about UFOs—you’re in the right place.
