Ep. 55: Our Smart Home Is Getting a Little TOO Smart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Shane found a smart door opener that can literally open and close your doors for you—which sounds amazing… until Caroline starts thinking about hackers, AI, getting locked inside the house, and all the ways it could be used to terrorize the kids (which could be fun...). We get into the smart home upgrades we actually want, why fingerprints still matter on smart locks, Caroline’s campaign for smart curtains, whether Apple is EVER going to release its rumored smart home display, and why
Ep 54: We Made Dating Profiles… We’re Screwed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What would our dating profiles look like if we suddenly had to start over in 2026? Apparently… not great. This week starts on a much more serious note after a scary situation at our daughter’s school left us a bit shaken right before filming the episode. Thankfully, everything turned out okay, but it was one of those parenting moments that drains every bit of energy out of you. Then we desperately needed to lighten things up. So we decided to answer dating-app prompts and build the profiles we’d
Ep. 53: My Wife Loved When I Left… 😂 | IFA Berlin Trip, Apple’s Foldable iPhone & CES Chaos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re back after a little hiatus, and apparently Caroline had a GREAT time while Shane was gone. 😂 Shane finally made it home from events in Boston and Berlin, Germany after basically forgetting what sleep feels like. So this week is a genuine catch-up. Caroline tells him why the house was suspiciously peaceful without him, what solo parenting while sick actually looked like, and why she maybe could’ve handled him staying gone a little longer. Then we get into the important stuff: sex robots, a
Ep 52: What’s Off Limits Once You’re Married? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caroline had a girls’ night last night…and showed up to record this episode with one of the worst hangovers of her life. So naturally, that leads us into a completely reasonable conversation about marriage boundaries. 😂 How late is too late to stay out without your spouse? Is it okay to accept a drink from another guy? What about opposite-sex friends, texting an ex, having a “work husband” or “work wife,” strip clubs, giving someone your Instagram, or following thirst trap accounts? We go throug
Ep 51: Men vs. Women: The Double Standards That Start Fights (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we’re talking double standards between men and women—and apparently trying to start a fight in our own marriage while we’re at it. Who should make the first move? Should the man always pay for the date? Is it weird to have a best friend of the opposite sex when you’re married? Why can women turn down sex without anyone thinking twice, but when a husband does it once his wife immediately wonders what’s wrong? Then we get into who’s supposed to provide, stay-at-home dads vs. stay-at-home
