• #281 Social Media Trends That Need to Die
    Jul 9 2025

    Travis and Jesse are declaring war on the absolute garbage that passes for "content" these days. This week we're calling out every stupid social media trend that makes us question humanity's future, from attention-seeking nonsense to whatever brain-dead challenge is trending this week. Just another episode of married people being fed up with the digital circus and saying what everyone's thinking but too afraid to post.


    WARNING: Contains zero tolerance for performative bullshit, maximum frustration with internet culture, and two people who remember when social media wasn't a full-time job. If you're currently participating in any viral trends or think everything online is amazing, this one might hurt your feelings.

  • #280 The R-Word is Back & We're Not Sorry
    Jul 2 2025

    Travis and Jesse dive into the CNN article about a certain word making its comeback and honestly, we're not surprised. This week we're breaking down how the hell perfectly normal words became forbidden in the first place, reminiscing about Gen X vocabulary that had nothing to do with actual disabilities, and calling out the absolute absurdity of triggered culture. Just another week of married people saying what everyone's thinking but afraid to say out loud.

    WARNING: Contains Gen X nostalgia, zero apologies for common sense, and two people who think words only have the power you give them. If you're easily offended by discussions about language policing or think words can physically hurt you, definitely skip this one.

    This is where a well thought out description would typically go. Be real, you don't read that sh*t anyway!

  • #278 Three Weeks Into Summer & We Got Nothing
    Jun 20 2025

    Travis and Jesse are officially running on summer brain fumes and we're two days behind because apparently that's how we roll now. This week's episode is pure chaos - random thoughts, zero structure, and whatever nonsense fell out of our heads while we tried to remember what day it is. Just another week of married people admitting we're completely unprepared and talking about whatever the hell comes to mind.

    WARNING: Contains zero preparation, maximum chaos, and two people who clearly need a vacation from their vacation mindset. If you're looking for polished content or coherent thoughts, maybe try a different podcast.

  • #277 Double Standards Everywhere: Corporate, Church & Everything In Between
    Jun 11 2025

    Travis and Jesse are calling out the bullshit double standards that exist literally everywhere - from corporate boardrooms to church parking lots to your own damn household. This week we're exposing the hypocrisy in leadership, parenting, relationships, and even Sunday morning traffic. Just another week of married people pointing out stuff that shouldn't matter (but absolutely does when you're living it).


    WARNING: Contains harsh truths about inconsistent standards, leadership hypocrisy, and probably some opinions that'll make you uncomfortable. If you're guilty of double standards or think they don't exist, this episode might sting a little.

  • #276 Road Trips, Wind Turbines & Are Aliens Actually Demons?
    Jun 4 2025

    Travis and Jesse are back with another chaotic mix of topics that somehow all connect in the most ridiculous way possible. This week we're covering road trip conversatoins, why wind turbines might be the devil, the age-old question of whether aliens are just demons with better PR, and how Disney World is rad but the new lightning lane is TRASH. Just another week of married people connecting dots that shouldn't be connected.

    WARNING: Contains conspiracy theories, travel stories, and probably some opinions that'll get us on a government watchlist.

  • #275 OnlyFans, AI Filters & The Line We've Definitely Crossed
    May 28 2025

    Travis and Jesse dive into what might be the most f*cked up internet trend we've ever seen - OnlyFans creators using AI filters to mimic disabilities for profit. Just when you thought the internet couldn't get any darker, here we are discussing the absolute rock bottom of digital ethics. This week's episode is less about stuff that shouldn't matter and more about stuff that absolutely does.

    WARNING: Contains strong language, genuine outrage, and discussions about exploitation that might be difficult to hear. If you're easily offended by us being offended, this one's definitely not for you.

  • #274 May-CEMBER and Mass Meritocracy!
    May 21 2025

    Travis and Jesse are back with more stuff that shouldn't matter but absolutely does. This week we're tackling why May is just December with better weather, how 8th grade graduations have somehow become longer than college commencements, and our hot take on why mass meritocracy might actually save this country. Just another week of married people ranting about seasonal identity crises and education inflation.

    WARNING: Contains controversial opinions about graduation ceremonies, weather-based conspiracy theories, and some actual serious talk about merit in society. If you think your 8th grader deserves a 2-hour ceremony or you're anti-meritocracy, maybe sit this one out.
