Halftime Hijinks, Purple Rain & Creative Ways to Show Your Disdain
from This Is Why We Can't Have A Podcast! · host Jen & Ashten
This week we solve absolutely nothing… but loudly.We start off by discussing unresolved beef with people who don’t even know they’re in beef with us. You know the kind. No fight. No argument. Just vibes. Bad ones. And somehow we think the best conflict resolution strategy is walking up to someone and saying:“What’s your problem?”Which, historically, has never escalated anything. Ever. 🙂From there we spiral into parenting stories where we admit that half of parenting is just trying not to say what you’re actually thinking out loud and instead inventing creative phrases like:“It’s a word.”“I just want to watch.”“Please stop narrating your fears.”We discuss kids with imaginary concerns, sibling chaos, and how humor is the only reason any of our children are still alive and we are not in jail.Then we take a heartfelt, chaotic detour to honor queen of our childhoodKatherine O’Hara (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0) — who shaped us in ways our therapists are still unpacking.And because this is Super Bowl week, we somehow turn into fake football historians and drop trivia like we’ve been ESPN analysts our entire lives, while also admitting that our family football traditions are 90% snacks, 5% yelling, and 5% pretending we understand what a down is.We talk: • relationship miscommunication • parenting survival tactics • football facts we did not verify • childhood nostalgia • and why sometimes you just need to say the quiet part out loud… but funnyThis episode has everything:passive aggression, active aggression, parenting delusion, sports confusion, and emotional damage brought to you by the 90s.You will learn nothing.You will feel seen.You will absolutely question why we have a podcast.
