• #289 Stop Considering Everyone's Feelings & Start Communicating Directly
    Sep 3 2025

    Travis and Jesse tackle the exhausting reality of trying to manage everyone's emotions, especially for the ladies who are getting their asses kicked by constant people-pleasing. This week we're breaking down why considering every single person's feelings is destroying your sanity and how direct communication is the only way to save yourself. Time to stop tiptoeing around everyone's delicate sensibilities and start saying what you actually mean. Just another week of married people advocating for brutal honesty over emotional babysitting.

    WARNING: Contains zero tolerance for feelings management, maximum support for direct communication, and two people who think your emotional labor is killing you. If you're currently exhausted from managing everyone else's reactions, this episode might be exactly what you need to hear.

  • #288 Kung Fu Movie Sound Effects & Jesse's Motorcycle Victories
    Aug 27 2025

    Travis and Jesse tackle the harsh reality of aging - specifically how every movement now comes with its own poorly dubbed 1980's kung fu movie soundtrack. This week we're celebrating Jesse's badass motorcycle riding achievements while Travis makes involuntary sound effects just getting out of bed. From "hi-ya!" hip pops to celebrating two-wheeled victories, we're covering the full spectrum of getting older and getting cooler. Just another week of married people aging disgracefully while one of us learns to be a road warrior.

    WARNING: Contains aging reality checks, motorcycle pride, and sound effects that happen whether we want them to or not. If you're under 30 or think motorcycles are dangerous, this episode might make you feel old or inspired.

  • #287 Finding the Good When Life Throws a Tree at You
    Aug 20 2025

    In this episode of Stuff That Shouldn't Matter But Does, we dive into the art of keeping perspective and hunting for silver linings, even when the universe seems to have it out for you. Picture this: a massive tree, zapped by lightning, comes crashing down onto our patio, turning our backyard into a scene from a disaster flick. Chaos? Sure. Stress? You bet. But instead of losing our cool, we leaned into the absurdity, found the humor, and turned a day of total fuckery into something unexpectedly awesome. Join us as we unpack how to stay grounded, laugh in the face of calamity, and spot the good stuff—because sometimes, even when a tree falls, you can still have the best day ever.

  • #286 Carnival Cruise Meltdowns & Military Trans Ban: Finally Some Sense
    Aug 13 2025

    Travis and Jesse celebrate two pieces of good news this week - Carnival Cruise Lines implementing policies that have idiots losing their absolute shit, and the military's new trans ban that's got everyone clutching their pearls. This week we're breaking down why both of these decisions are actually smart moves that make perfect sense, despite the predictable meltdowns from the usual suspects. Just another week of married people supporting common sense policies while everyone else loses their minds.


    WARNING: Contains support for logical policies, zero tolerance for manufactured outrage, and two people who think some decisions are just plain smart. If you're currently having a meltdown over cruise ship rules or military policies, this episode will definitely trigger you further.

  • #285 Jean-Sus Christ!
    Aug 6 2025

    Travis and Jesse dive into the absolute insanity of people losing their fuc*ing minds over a denim commercial and the Jesus Christ Superstar reboot that's definitely sending its entire cast straight to hell. This week we're tackling why everyone's triggered by clothing advertisements and how the people involved in this musical disaster are probably packing their bags for eternal damnation. Just another week of married people watching society collapse over stuff that shouldn't matter (but apparently has eternal consequences).


    WARNING: Contains strong language, religious commentary, and zero tolerance for people who get triggered by fabric marketing. If you're easily offended by discussions about commercials or think we're being too harsh about musical reboots, this episode might send you to hell too.

  • #284 Nipple Madness: The Gender Divide We Never Knew Existed
    Jul 30 2025

    Travis and Jesse stumble into the most ridiculous gender revelation of all time - apparently being a woman means constantly worrying about nipple visibility in photos while men literally never think about it once. This week we're diving deep into the absolute insanity of female existence versus the blissful ignorance of male life, and how something as simple as taking a picture reveals the two completely different worlds we live in. Just another week of married people discovering stuff that shouldn't matter (but clearly drives half the population crazy).

    WARNING: Contains nipple discourse, gender reality checks, and Travis's complete shock at female existence. If you're easily offended by body part discussions or you're a man who's never considered nipple placement, this episode might be eye-opening.

  • #283 Ozzy's Legacy, Engagement Vultures & Heavenly Hogs
    Jul 23 2025

    Travis and Jesse tackle the passing of a rock legend and how social media vultures immediately turned it into engagement farming. This week we're discussing the lost art of the thumbs down versus flipping people off, why hitting "dislike" on someone's content is the lamest form of disagreement, and our theory that motorcycles are definitely the preferred transportation in the afterlife. Just another week of married people finding meaning in stuff that shouldn't matter (but absolutely does).

    WARNING: Contains opinions about social media exploitation, gesture hierarchies, and afterlife transportation theories. If you're currently using celebrity deaths for likes or think motorcycles aren't heavenly, this one might ruffle your feathers.

  • #282 F*ck Your Journal: Why Rage Needs Real Release
    Jul 16 2025

    Travis and Jesse are done with the bullshit narrative that you can journal your way out of pure rage. This week we're calling out the mindfulness industrial complex and explaining why you're a f*cking animal who needs to release that fury through aggressive action, not passive diary entries. Time to stop pretending that breathing exercises fix everything and start dealing with anger like the primal beings we actually are.


    WARNING: Contains zero tolerance for new-age nonsense, maximum support for healthy aggression, and two people who think your feelings journal is making you weaker. If you're a mindfulness coach or think meditation solves everything, this episode will probably piss you off (which might actually help).
