This week, Bret and Josh dive into some of the funniest “is it real or not?” debates from our childhood and beyond. From whether pro wrestling was legit to the true nature of Tom & Jerry’s friendship, we rewind to the things that had us guessing as kids. Then we crank it up with wild conspiracies: Birds Aren’t Real, Denver Airport’s Illuminati tunnels, Chuck E. Cheese’s recycled pizza, Disney’s hidden Easter eggs, and even AI taking over the world…and remember to be careful what you do when there are birds around, they are always watching and recording.

A lot of laughs, a lot of “no way, man” moments, and maybe just enough truth to make you wonder.

The world feels darker than ever — from terror attacks and random violence to political shootings plastered across our screens. As parents, the question isn’t just how do we explain evil to our kids? It’s how do we prepare them to face it with courage?

This week, Bret and Josh talk about raising kids who understand that freedom isn’t free — that evil will always hate it — and that their job is to be tougher than the darkness around them. From remembering 9/11 to unpacking the recent headlines, we reflect on how to teach our kids resilience, conviction, and the call to be a light when the world feels heavy.

Because even in dark times, courage and light can still win.

Forget corporate handbooks — the real rules of work were written on the classroom carpet back in kindergarten. This week, Bret and Josh break down how the basics still apply: share your toys (and credit), take turns (yes, even in meetings), clean up your mess (literally and figuratively), and say you’re sorry (without an HR investigation).

We also hit the grown-up essentials: nap time = avoiding burnout, snack time = fueling your day (not just vending machine regret), and the hard truth that it’s not your coworker’s job to manage your emotions.

Because at the end of the day, work isn’t complicated — it’s just recess with paychecks, and some of us still can’t play nice.
