About this listen

Travis kicks off today’s episode with a hot take no one asked for: salads should include leaves. From there, things take a hard left when he asks the question of the day—

👉 “Do you have a throw-up bowl?” (Yes, Robert had to clarify what he heard.)

After some classic dad banter—testing spoiled food, catching up, and the realities of parenting—Travis shifts the conversation into a more reflective topic: what does “’Tis the season” actually mean now?

Growing up, “’Tis the season” meant joy, celebration, and anticipation. As parents, it often sounds more like: sick kids, exhaustion, and survival mode.

Travis and Robert unpack how that phrase has evolved over time, what it brings up emotionally, and whether it still represents joy—or simply another tough season to get through.

This episode blends humor, honesty, and reflection as two dads explore how language, seasons, and perspective shift once you’re responsible for more than just yourself.

🎄 What comes to mind when you hear “’Tis the season”? Joy… or chaos?
