Season 2 is here — and we kick it off with a truly painful knock-knock joke, a bright red “birthday/Christmas” sweater debate (including: do mustache + cable knit go together?), and a surprisingly deep dive into New Year’s resolutions. We talk why decisions get harder as you get older (health insurance counts 😅), what people resolved back in 2000 BC, why “approach goals” beat “avoidance goals,” and how we’re starting 2026: Kelly wants a job, Don wants to relax, and we’re trying to make Two Aw...

Stop Asking Your Kids ‘How Was Your Day?’ — Here’s What Actually Works.
Every parent has been there — you pick your kid up from school, lean over with your best loving face, and ask, “How was your day?” only to get…“Fine.” “I dunno.” “Nothing happened.” 🙃 In this episode, Don and Kelly break down why that question flops harder than Don’s “flat point” intro and what you can do instead. From slang decoding (“chat” is now a noun, apparently) to creative question hacks like “two truths and a lie,” ranking systems, Rosebud & Thorn, and even ridiculous affirm...

Unrealistic Expectations That Will Kill Your Relationship 💀
Think your partner should read your mind? Always make you happy? Stay forever young and endlessly attractive? 💀 In this episode, Don and Kelly pull apart all the ridiculous demands we pile onto our partners: expecting them to read our minds, keep the spark blazing 24/7, complete us like a missing puzzle piece, and basically serve as our full-time happiness machine.

Parenting as a Team : Especially When You Disagree
Don and Kelly kick off this Monday with laughs about busy weekends, sleepovers, and what exactly counts as a “dash” versus a “smattering.” Then they dive into the real stuff—co-parenting. Do you always need to be on the same page? Or can kids actually benefit from seeing parents disagree respectfully?
