About this listen

This week on Life Unscripted with T & Q, we’re diving into a timely and hilariously real conversation: why does Mother’s Day come with spa days, flowers, and heartfelt tributes, while Father’s Day gets… socks and grill tools? 👀

T kicks it off by asking if men should still buy gifts for the mother of their kids even if they’re not together—things get real quick. Then we debut our new segment, The 5 & 0 Report, breaking down the Top 5 Gifts to Avoid Getting Mom (trust us, leave the vacuum at the store).

We unpack the origins of both holidays, the marketing machines behind them, and the emotional weight they carry. Q shares his frustration with the double standards and lackluster gifts dads often receive, while T reflects on how her own upbringing shaped her ideas about Father’s Day—and how she’s learning what real appreciation looks like in a blended family.

From capitalism to culture, stereotypes to sentimentality, this episode is a raw, funny, and thought-provoking look at how we celebrate parents—and whether it’s time to rethink the whole thing.

💐👔 Whether you’re a mom, dad, or someone who fills those shoes, this one’s for you.

Tune in, laugh with us, maybe cry a little, and remember: appreciation doesn’t have to come in a Hallmark card.

New episodes every week—unscripted, unfiltered, and unapologetically real.
