The Dastardly Scrolling Device 20.06.2026 41min

Every parent's nemesis: the smartphone. Is it making our kids smarter? Come to think of it, what a genius marketing idea labeling it a "smart" phone. We think it's making our kids dumber indeed. Well, at least dumber in the human sense. Scary stats: 4 hours a day of scrolling equals to 60 days of your per year. What can, should we do about this as parents? ALL answers welcome! Just don't swipe upwards when it comes to our pod, though, okay?

Death of the Third Place - Get Out There, People! 19.05.2026 52min

First things first --- Josh is asking if 1 pint of ice cream equals one serving (because he just ate half of a pint and wondered about keeping his girly figure (haha)! Let us know what you think! In this episode: a bit of exciting update on Ceko's big championship win; and, the DEATH of the Third Plyace. 1st place is your home. 2nd is your workplace. 3rd are the cafes, bookstores, bars, and neighborhood hangouts. Why are we letting ourselves live this way? Between streaming services, instas, snaps, reels and all the gross in betweens, is it time we move away from all these gadgets and party like its 1989 again? Among other humans, rub skin to skin, and smell each other's breath again? Should we force our kids and loved ones to live LIFE? We say, "Yes, please!"

Men Seeking Older Women Alert! 26.04.2026 46min

According to dating app managers, there's been an uptick of young men EXCLUSIVELY looking for older women to date. Specifically, men in their late 20s through 30s have felt the anxiety and financial burden women in the same age group are demanding. So many questions! Have women pigeon holed themselves and may also date older women? Are middle aged women loving this? Is this just a momentary trend? We know age is just a number but there are biological, procreation-ary, evolutionary, and cultural shifts happening here! Your toughts?

DUIs, Tigers, Draft Kings, Oh My! 03.04.2026 1t 3min

Unless you live under a rock, you've heard about Tiger's most recent driving mishap. 8 hours in the drunk tank (allegedly) was hopefully time used to think about how much he values his life and the life of others around him when he's behind the wheel of a car. Let's get it together, Tiger! So many folks root for you. Okay, forget about everyone else, you've got kids who look up to you. Here's to hoping for the best for him in his future... for his children's sake. This can't feel good... Speaking of vices, um, Josh and Jo talk about Draft Kings and betting.

Seasonal Affective Depression at its "Peak"y 03.04.2026 46min

(background muzak "here comes the sun," Please!!)We're all sick of it. Winterbirds, skiers, mountaineers, whatever, even THEY are over it. It's been a long icy, rough, and too much time stream video binging. We're all ready to put on the bikinis and speedos and get some sunshine! What do you do to beatthis? Watch Peaky Blinders and rank who the hottest and craziest girlfriend is? Well, that's just what we did! What are YOUR plans when the temp gets hotter? We know ours!

Relationship Maintenance and, by the way, Jo is Grudgey 16.03.2026 1t 2min

Beyond the sexy stuff in the bedroom, what are the ways both or throuples or quads maintain a strong bond emotionally and mentally? It's a lot of necessary work! However, if you've found your match, it is worth it. Josh and Jo found common ground in saying that GROWTH is key. It doesn't have to be at the same time or the same pace, but all sides have to try. POD CONFESSION! Jo, as much as she tries not to be and is working on it, holds grudges longer than she needs. Hurt or trauma-based, it doesn't matter. She admits as much and is intent on working on getting rid of this nasty and nonproductive thang she does. Enjoy this as much as we enjoyed recording!

A Hard No From Josh on a Couples Communication Style 06.03.2026 49min

The stylistics of a YouTuber couple is driving Josh absolutely nuts! I mean, it's really pissing him off! Go to "at" relationships withaly on YouTube and check it out for yourself. Jo doesn't buy it. If I ever meet a couple that speaks to each other like this, I would be running for the hills. So why do some think it's "healthy," or "admirable?" We supposed it's better than throwing plates at each other (or is it?). What do you think?

Dumb Things People Say and a Lotta Banter 23.02.2026 55min

Speedos or trunks? Find out what Josh wears when wading in the water... And, a pet peeve of Jo's - why oh why do people say things in public and then run away from the consequences? While it's untimely (due to our engineer getting sick again), we do talk about the world famous Saratoga Springs Chowderfest prep... yes. It's World Famous because in our world, it just is. Stay warm everyone!

Super Bowl Halftime Show - A Boom or Bust? 17.02.2026 1t 1min

Lots of emotions here about the overly-talked about Super Bowl half time show. Upon reflection, Jo is reacting with intense emotion while Josh takes a practical approach. Jo's feelings about it may be controversial but hear her out! All in all, have any halftime shows been amazing? Let us know your thoughts!

POWER Dynamics in Relationships 05.02.2026 59min

Josh and Jo can't believe this has not been covered in depth! Power. Dynamics. Relationships. It's so basic yet so complicated. How important is this? Should one person have more or less at all times? Sometimes? Then there's AI relationships. It's happening folks! Are we for it or against it? AAAHHH! so much to deal with to have a lil' company and warm body around. Jo says it's worth working through if you really care about another human. And, of course, it's worth moving to greener pastures if your mate wants all the power. So, grab a cup of cocoa or some wine, enjoy and stay warm and cozy!

Fun Fun Fun With Flight Attendants as Guests 26.01.2026 1t 30min

They share what they do in-flight (is it gourmet meals or fast food?), what they do in between flights, how passengers treat them and some of the most annoying and crazy experiences. And, of course, Josh and Jo have no problem asking them naughty questions. BUT WAIT! In the second half of this pod, the tables turned and we became the interviewed! Sweating just a little, we got through their questions as thoughtful as we always try to be. So, grab a cup of tea, get under a comfy blanket and enjoy this one during this snowstorm! Hugs and kisses to these ladies. IT WAS FUN!!!!!!

Reflecting Rejection 30.11.2025 43min

The gig is up. It's Jo's achilles heel, her nightmare, her trauma, and nemesis. The depths of this only came to her consciousness after the last several pods. She decided to take this head on and talk about it. As for Josh, well, he balances out Jo's experience by going through life without too much experience with the R word. HHmmpphh.
