Shirin All The Things

In this very food-forward (and very chaotic) episode of Shirin All The Things, Trever and Bry dive into all things breakfast — from continental breakfast nostalgia to strong opinions about bacon vs. sausage, pancakes vs. waffles, and whether breakfast for dinner is a genius move… or a white flag. They talk about bougie breakfast buffets, local favorites, Whole30 survival meals, and the surprisingly deep emotional layers of sharing breakfast with someone. Along the way, you’ll hear about “butter puddles,” waffle bowls that may or may not work, and why scrambled eggs (only) might be a personality trait.It’s playful, a little ridiculous, and somehow still thoughtful — because underneath all the food debates is a conversation about rhythms, connection, and why breakfast might be one of the most intimate meals of the day.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – The fruit elimination question (goodbye, grapefruit?)03:00 – Why breakfast deserves its own episode04:30 – Continental breakfasts & hotel nostalgia06:30 – Bacon vs. sausage (and why it matters)08:30 – Favorite breakfast spots & local debates11:30 – Sweet vs. savory breakfast people14:00 – Fast food breakfast & road trip memories16:00 – Whole30 breakfast survival (the famous hash)18:00 – Dream “fancy breakfast” setups20:00 – Ordering food & relationship dynamics22:30 – Brunch logic & questionable math23:30 – Pancakes vs. waffles (the hardest question ever)24:30 – Butter puddles & waffle bowls27:00 – Eggs… but only scrambled29:30 – Breakfast for dinner debate31:00 – Forgotten breakfasts & food nostalgia32:30 – Who would you invite to breakfast?34:30 – Why breakfast feels oddly intimate36:00 – Vulnerability, mornings, and connection💬 Join the conversation:Are you pancakes or waffles?Bacon or sausage?And what breakfast are you actually really good at making?#ShirinAllTheThings #BreakfastDebate #MarriagePodcast #CouplesPodcast #PancakesVsWaffles #FoodPodcast #CozyConversations #RelationshipPodcast

What’s something you loved as a kid… that just doesn’t hit the same anymore? Or somehow got better?In this episode, Trever and Bry kick things off with an important (and slightly revealing) question about ice cream truck orders before diving into a conversation about how childhood experiences shift as we grow up. From magical hot air balloon festivals that lose a little sparkle, to theme parks that now induce nausea instead of joy, to lakes that are… maybe filled with things we’d rather not think about—they explore how awareness, knowledge, and adulthood reshape the things we once loved. Along the way, they swap stories about electric cars that got way cooler, roller coasters that flipped from terrifying to fun (or the opposite), hiking without someone yelling “get off the rocks,” and the surprising ways fear, nostalgia, and experience all play into how we see the world.It’s funny, a little unhinged (looking at you, black widows and childhood trauma), and ultimately thoughtful: how do we hold onto wonder while also growing up?Also: lakes are questionable, sherbet is controversial, and apparently we’re all just doing our best with the information we had at age eight.

In this episode, Trever and Bry share a small life update — new job rhythms, shifting childcare, and officially committing to a monthly release schedule — and then return to something that’s quietly shaped their relationship from the very beginning: gratitude.They reflect on how “Isn’t this awesome?” became a core habit in their marriage. From thanking each other for doing the dishes to debriefing hard seasons through the GLAD practice (Gratitude, Learned, Achieved, Delight), they talk about how choosing to notice small things has helped them navigate change without losing perspective.If life feels full or a little overwhelming, this episode is a gentle reset. Gratitude doesn’t ignore the hard stuff — it just reminds you there are usually 34 good things happening alongside the one difficult one.Also… please send topic ideas. The beavers need help.

What did dating look like in our 20s—and what should it look like now? In this episode, Trever and Bry reflect on how dating has changed from early, scrappy, low-budget, high-intent dates to the fuller, more complex reality of dating in your 30s with kids, careers, and real-life constraints.They talk about recreating old favorite dates (pizza picnics, bookstore dates, long walks, bike rides, and prayer retreats), what pursuit looks like after marriage, and how limitations once fueled creativity in ways they want to reclaim. Along the way, they wrestle with comfort vs. stagnation, the role of shared and separate hobbies, and how to intentionally date in a season where time and energy feel scarce.The conversation widens to parenting, modeling friendship and affection for kids, love languages, and why dating doesn’t always need to be an “event”—sometimes it’s simply choosing each other again and again in small, meaningful ways.If you’ve ever wondered how to keep dating alive after marriage, kids, or long seasons of routine, this one’s for you.

Trever and Bry are stepping onto the metaphorical stage this week to talk all things game shows! From childhood sick-day favorites like Match Game and Family Feud to the British chaos of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, they’re reliving the shows that shaped their humor and competition streaks.They play a few rounds of their own (spoiler: they keep matching answers — gross), argue over which game show they could actually win, and imagine what it would be like to host Great British Baking Show or Lego Masters together. There’s laughter, lighthearted banter, and plenty of “we’d totally crush this” optimism.Whether you’re a Jeopardy! genius, a Taskmaster fan, or just someone who still yells answers at the TV, this episode will have you smiling and reminiscing.#ShirinAllTheThings #MarriagePodcast #GameShowNostalgia #CouplesWhoLaughTogether #BritishHumor #GreatBritishBakingShow #FamilyFeud

What makes reading so good—and so you? In this episode, Trever and Bry dive deep into their shared love of books, from the eternal “audiobook vs. physical book” debate to the perfect setup for a reading session (spoiler: it involves beanbags, clickers, and occasionally lavender lemonade).They talk about how reading styles have changed, how dyslexia shaped Trever’s lifelong connection to stories, and why vocabulary words like copacetic deserve a comeback. Along the way, they share tales of torn pages, lost bookmarks, and the chaos of parenting tiny bookmark thieves.Ultimately, it’s a conversation about how books—and the ways we consume them—have become part of their marriage, their identity, and their cozy little library.So grab your Kindle, your clicker, or your favorite dog-eared paperback, and settle in. Readers are hot.

You know that classic question—if your house were on fire, what five things would you grab? In this episode, we take our own twist on it and imagine our home frozen in time, like our own little Pompeii. What would future archaeologists learn about us from the toys on the floor, the coffee mugs, and the half-finished projects scattered everywhere?It’s a cozy, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt look at how the things we surround ourselves with tell the story of our lives—what we love, what we value, and what moments we never want to lose. So grab a warm drink, settle in, and join us as we laugh our way through the beautiful chaos of the life we’ve built together.

What even is cozy? In this episode, we dive headfirst into the warm blanket pile of coziness—blankets, candles, old-book smells, flannel, fall drinks, and maybe even the Great British Baking Show. We break down how “cozy” hits all five senses, why it might just be an introvert’s superpower, and whether chasing cozy is a form of Sabbath rest or just comfort-idolatry in disguise.Along the way, we out ourselves as Overcooked-on-easy-mode players, confess our weirdest cozy snacks (spoiler: Doritos do not qualify), and argue about whether vacuum lines count as part of the cozy aesthetic. Plus: solar punk dreams, cozy gift baskets, and the eternal truth that wood floors are never as cozy as carpet.So grab a blanket (just not a patterned one with Trever’s face on it), light a candle, and settle in. Because in this episode, we’re working hard… to get cozy.#CozyVibes #PumpkinSpiceSeason #GreatBritishBakingShow #OvercookedOnEasy

Ever look at a pile of craft supplies, a dusty pogo stick, or an abandoned pickleball paddle and think… I could bring you back? In this episode, we (Bry and Trever) dig up the hobby graveyard—those once-beloved pastimes we dove into headfirst, only to let them wither away.From middle school guitar heroics and Sims villainy to photography phases, trampoline obsessions, and the short but passionate reign of paint-by-numbers, we confess it all. We compare quick-fling hobbies vs. deep-investment ones, talk about the hobbies that still haunt us, and even ask which ones deserve a resurrection spell.Plus: internet deep dives, hobby shame, and why Bry refuses to invest until she’s really in love (except for her nails).Table Talk: What’s a hobby you’ve buried… and which one would you bring back from the dead?

This one’s for the hikers, hammocking parents, sticker-covered Nalgene people, and anyone else wondering—are we really living the Colorado life?In this episode, we ask ourselves: are we good Coloradans? Like, all year round? We swap stories from college ski trips and childhood rafting adventures to current summer hikes and hopes for family camping trips. We talk lakes (not Louisiana ones), mountain towns, indoor fireplaces, iconic Subarus with ski racks, and the strange pride of crushing our kids at mini golf… someday.Whether you're paddleboarding with a Kindle, dreaming of a frothing leaderboard in your living room, or just vibing at 11 Mile with a thermos of coffee, this one's for you.Plus: Manitou Incline, sticker hierarchy, avoiding snakes, and why "chacos with jeans" might just be our unofficial city uniform.Let’s get outdoorsy—Colorado style. Even in winter. Maybe.

What do Vines, Cadet Kelly, and Jane Eyre have in common? They're all part of Trever & Bry's personal curriculum for friendship. This week, the Shirin All the Things classroom is in session as we break down the books, shows, movies, and random references we wish everyone just got. From obscure Disney Channel lines to rom-com reading habits, we're mapping the shared stories that shape how we connect—and why sometimes quoting Friends while moving furniture is a sacred act of belonging.Grab a cozy drink, take notes if you must, and join us for a laughter-filled exploration of the stuff that sparks connection.

If you could steal one trait from your partner (or your best friend, sibling, or toddler), what would it be? In this episode, we play a game of “I wish I had your…”—where admiration meets mild envy and turns into something beautiful. From moral compass to comedic timing, crisis control to reading speed, we name the things we love most about each other—and how those traits shape our marriage and our lives.We talk about the difference between admiring someone and wanting to be them, what it looks like to complement rather than compete, and why this kind of conversation might be one of the sweetest forms of words of affirmation.Then we rapid-fire through everything from freckles and hair thickness to parenting styles, theology knowledge, and why we’d gladly trade lives with our kids if it meant someone else handled snacks and sunscreen.This one is tender, cozy, and full of gratitude—and honestly, we think you’re going to want to try it at your own dinner table.

Ever found yourself enjoying a meal—until you discovered what's actually in it? Yep, we've been there too. This episode is all about the foods we've always wanted to try (hello, escargot!) and the dishes we definitely refuse to touch (looking at you, lamb and haggis).Join us as we share personal stories of culinary deception (like Bry's cod from Tilapia), childhood dining disasters at the iconic China Buffet, and Trever's endless curiosity for adventurous eating (crickets dipped in honey, anyone?). Plus, we reveal our ultimate foodie travel dreams—from pasta in Italy to authentic fish and chips in London.Whether you're the adventurous eater or the pickiest at the table, pull up a chair and join the fun. Let's see if Trever can finally convince Bry to taste something new—or at least, travel somewhere delicious

Ever wondered if underwater basket weaving counts as a sport? Or how exactly to define something as a "real" sport? In this playful episode, we dive into our childhood and teenage sports experiences—from dance competitions set to *NSYNC, to dramatic T-ball injuries (spoiler: Trever's mom was ready to throw down), and memorable track-and-field disqualifications. We even debate the controversial topic: Is darts really a sport?We chat about sports we'd actually love to try, like Australian football, Olympic rock climbing, and professional pickleball. Plus, Bry reveals her surprising talent for endurance hula-hooping, and Trever recalls changing his name mid-basketball season (it didn't stick).Gather your people, pick a side—are NASCAR drivers athletes or not?—and talk about the sports you'd invent, mash together, or want to judge professionally. It's game on!

Ever dreamed about your ultimate Barbie Dreamhouse—not the realistic one, the completely outrageous, magical one? Us too! In this episode, we dive into all the wild elements we'd include: lazy rivers doubling as moats, slides spiraling around staircases, secret library nooks à la Beauty and the Beast, and closets straight out of Princess Diaries 2. We relive our childhood play setups, confess envy over friends' extravagant toy collections, and realize that some toys, like the iconic Barbie Dreamhouse, still capture our imagination as adults.And to set the record straight: Bry's traumatic high school movie experience was not "Dante's Inferno," but actually "Dante's Peak" (RIP Grandma in the volcanic lake).Come join the fun, reminisce about the good old Toys R Us days, and let your imagination run wild with us—because practical dream homes are overrated and if you wanted to hear about mortgage rates you came to the wrong podcast!

If you could only travel one way for fun—plane, train, car, or boat—what would you pick? In this episode, we unpack our dream travel destinations, favorite (and least favorite) places we’ve been, and the weird, wonderful things that make or break a trip for us (hint: food is high on the list). From hella boring Kansas and nickel-and-dime Florida, to a three-week stint in Las Vegas we still haven’t recovered from—we get honest about what kinds of trips are not for us.Then we dream big: Japan, Scotland, Tahiti, and even a fictional escape to Hobbiton (because let’s be honest, all we want is to sit, eat, read, and be left alone). We also talk about what makes international travel intimidating, how we’d curate the perfect trip for each other, and why the East Coast and historical tours have us curious.Oh—and yes, we’re still holding out for that mysterious podcast-loving benefactor to sponsor our global "Taxonomy of Food" tour. Manifesting.

From questionable childhood outfits to our lifelong love-hate relationship with trends, we’re diving into the wild world of fashion. In this episode of Shirin All The Things, we unpack the outfits that defined our youth (cargo pants, clashing plaids, and way too many layers), the trends we refused to follow (looking at you, low-rise jeans), and the ones we secretly miss (hipster era forever).Along the way, we discuss why Trever’s wardrobe is basically a cartoon character’s at this point, why Bry takes forever to commit to a new style, and the strange yet undeniable power of slut strands (yes, we explain). Plus, a nostalgic throwback to the weirdest thing you ever kept in your cargo pockets—because you know you did.So grab your favorite hoodie (or, if you're brave, your old skinny jeans) and hit play as we talk all the things fashion!

So… have you ever thought about what kind of funeral you’d want? Because we have. And honestly? We have very different ideas.In this episode of Shirin All The Things, we take a deep (but also weirdly fun) dive into planning our own funerals. Trever is all about the liturgical lament—leaning into the grief, sitting with sorrow, and embracing the sacred weight of loss. Meanwhile, Bry is ready for a celebration of life, complete with good food, happy memories, and maybe even a tree planted in her honor. We also talk about why caskets are weirdly expensive, why spreading ashes might not be as poetic as books make it seem, and how grief rituals can actually be an act of kindness for the people we leave behind.It’s a little morbid, a little philosophical, and (of course) filled with plenty of laughs. Join us as we get way too deep about death and somehow make it an episode you’ll actually enjoy.Hit play and let’s talk about all the things!

This is an episode from 2023, a year before release, Trever & Bry and the two kids had strep throat, they'd been sick for a while, and ultimately Thanksgiving was very much canceled.
