  • Talk with me, Not at me
    Sep 17 2025

    Someone shares an opinion. Someone else pulls a trigger. That’s not a political debate — that’s being inhumane.
    In this episode, Jax and Sean talk through what it means to disagree without dehumanizing. From generational tension to social media chaos to how we argue in families, they explore why we’ve lost the art of listening — and how to get it back.
    They break down the idea that respect doesn’t mean agreement — it means staying in the room, even when it’s uncomfortable. It means seeing someone’s humanity before their opinions.

    This one’s about more than opinions. It’s about learning how to talk without turning it into combat — and how respect might be the bridge that saves us.

  • Adulting: Unsupervised
    Aug 31 2025

    Nobody really teaches you how to be an adult—so what happens when you're just winging it? In this episode, Jax and Sean dive into the chaos of daily life: broken routines, mental burnout, financial pressure, and the quiet fear of falling behind. With two generations sharing unfiltered stories and brutally honest lessons, this is what adulting actually looks like when the training wheels come off.

    It’s raw. It’s funny. It might hit too close to home.

  • Why Back to School Messes With Everyone (Not Just Students)
    Aug 17 2025

    School’s back in session — but class is definitely not in order. In this episode of Unsupervised Supervision, Jax and Sean swap stories and perspectives on what “back to school” really means across generations. From the first-day jitters and fashion choices to how education shapes independence (or doesn’t), we cover it all with our usual mix of honesty, laughs, and side tangents.

    Whether you’re packing a backpack or packing lunches for someone who is, this one will make you nod, laugh, and maybe rethink how you look at school altogether.
