We started this episode off by discussing the airport theory—the one where you roll up as close to your flight as possible, breeze through security, and avoid wasting precious time browsing overpriced snacks. Basically, it’s how we’ve always done it… and now the internet finally gave it a name. We also shared some pretty funny border crossing stories, including the time Nat got asked if she was in adult entertainment. And we wrapped things up with a chaotic attempt to remember the name of a baseball team that involves bananas.

We're not here to pat ourselves on the back, but we do like to keep it pretty real with our kids. Like how open we are about who we were back in the day—what we were like at school, how we handled being students and how we literally tapped out of traditional education at a certain point. We can help our kids with homework but at some point we hit our cap. When we were growing up, there was no ChatGPT—you had to call a friend, compare notes, and figure it out together. It was all peer-to-peer, and we kind of miss that.

We dive right into the wild ride that is perimenopause—and let’s just say, it’s not a great time to be doing annoying husband things. Perimenopause has a way of turning up the volume on every little habit that used to mildly irritate you, and now you might just lose your mind over everything he does.

Nat gets very real with story after story about the little things she used to let slide. No time for that anymore.

Hormones may be fluctuating, but the standards are rising. If you're in perimenopause—or even standing on the edge of it—you know the truth: you’re not crazy, you’re just done with the crap.

Is White Lotus good or are we just hooked on chaos? We did a bit of a deep dive into White Lotus—before the season finale dropped. We're watching rich people spiral in luxury resorts, there’s major tension, awkward conversations, and that constant feeling that something bad is about to happen. It’s somehow so messed up… yet nothing is happening at the same time. Every character feels a little off in the most fascinating way. Subtle seeds are being planted. Let us know what you think, is this show brilliant or not worth it?

Teenagehood today looks very different than it used to. Kids are home more and growing up in a world that’s far more supervised and a lot less rebellious. What happened to the sneaking out, the secrets, and the harmless mistakes that turned into life lessons (and great stories)? We grew up making questionable choices, pushing boundaries, and learning the hard way—and somehow, we turned out just fine. These days, even a small act of rebellion can earn a kid a harsh label. But aren’t teenagers supposed to mess up a little? In this episode, we’re reflecting on how much has changed and what today’s teens are missing out on.

Nat has a boyfriend. He lives down the street. She’s never met him. But she has lusted after him for years and is fully convinced they’d be perfect together… despite knowing absolutely nothing about him—not even his name. And just to keep things balanced, we (aka Cat) come to a shocking realization by the end of this episode that Nat may actually be kind of boring for her own imaginary boyfriend.

Watching our daughters compete in dance this past weekend got us thinking about the life lessons they’re learning. They practice endlessly for a routine they only get one shot at, and they’re often really tough on themselves. A lot of people have walked away from dance because of the coaching culture—the yelling, the idea that tough coaching is the only way to make kids listen. If we normalize it and don’t push back, we’re passing the torch on what’s considered acceptable.
