Super Familiar with The Wilsons
by Familiar Wilsons Media
Marriage 2.0 with kids…and all the side quests!Super Familiar with the Wilsons is a weekly comedy podcast about second marriage blended family life, and the beautiful chaos of parenting, aging, and figuring it all out (again). Hosted by Amanda and Josh, partners in life, love, and side quests, each episode dives into real-life stories, quirky observations, listener emails, and spontaneous tangents that somehow always circle back to relationships, resilience, and the absurdity of modern life.Whether you’re navigating your own second act, raising kids who don’t want your help, or just wondering why birds seem to aim for your head, you’ll find humor, honesty, and heart here. Expect: offbeat storytelling, second-marriage dynamics, parenting fails, philosophical detours, and new friends you didn’t know you needed.Familiar Wilsons Media produces content to bring people together. We are curious, hopeful, and try not to take ourselves to

Perhaps You Can Outrun a Cold plus Emergency ASMR
Send us Fan MailJosh has a cold and briefly becomes convinced he has discovered something about the human body that all doctors and scientists in recorded history have somehow overlooked.Amanda brings some questionable science of her own, which leads to an attempt at communicating directly with Josh’s body. Meanwhile, the Wilson household has been rocked by a municipal change of such staggering importance that it threatens to alter the entire rhythm of the week. The neighbors are no help. They may, in fact, have a separate group chat.Then there’s a 20 second experiment conducted in jeans, an investigation into Josh’s moral alignment that raises more questions than it answers, a gibbous moon that becomes far more important than anyone anticipated, and a dispatch from Refined Gay Jeff involving Ipswich, books, allergies, and an urgent care visit that he chooses to interpret in his own special way.Also: lawn crews, Ring cameras, Dungeons & Dragons, seasonal allergies, getting older, British television, marriage, ADHD, and the growing suspicion that the Wilsons may be the strange people in the neighborhood.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Messi, The Premier League, and Other Things We Don’t Understand
Send us Fan MailThis week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Josh and Amanda settle into the pub and wander confidently into subjects they are not qualified to discuss. There’s a sudden outbreak of Premier League football, a question about what the rest of the world thinks Americans actually do on weekends, a mysterious artifact from the early days of the Miami Heat, an unexpected canine side quest, and the triumphant return of a game that takes perfectly respectable movie titles and sends them through a wood chipper.Winthrop continues to become alarmingly smarter than his parents, spooky season begins creeping out of the walls, listener mail arrives from Germany, and Josh confronts the strange human compulsion to keep watching television we actively despise.It’s marriage, parenting, family life, pop culture, soccer, movies, aging, and middle-aged nonsense from Gainesville, Florida.#SuperFamiliarWithTheWilsons #ComedyPodcast #MarriagePodcast #FamilyPodcast #ParentingHumor #GenX #Over50 #PodcastRecommendations #PremierLeague #PopCulturePodcastSuper Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Burger Week and The Bear Has Been Eating Cheese Since Tuesday
Send us Fan MailThis week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Josh and Amanda return to the important questions facing modern families: Why does food suddenly become boring? How many subscriptions are quietly feeding on your bank account because you forgot to cancel the free trial? Can technology save us from ourselves by simply removing all of our choices? And at what point does a laundry basket stop being a household object and become a monument to everything we have failed to accomplish?Along the way, Josh and Amanda talk adult ADHD, forgotten subscriptions, marriage, family life, Gainesville, food obsessions, unmasking, listener mail, dogs, zoos, laundry, and the everyday absurdities of trying to function as a human being when your brain would rather begin an entirely unrelated project.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Nobody Asked for the Pee Quiz
Send us Fan MailThis week, our marriage is fine, the dog has entered assisted living, and Josh is considering growing a mullet despite a significant shortage of front-of-house hair. We wander through ADHD unmasking, Alexa’s refusal to play the correct Brooks & Dunn, the economics of crow friendship, and the growing suspicion that Finland may simply be too content to listen to this podcast.Then Amanda finds an online quiz designed to make Josh pee himself.It does not.Emotionally, however, everyone leaves damp.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Miami is a Financial Mistake
Send us Fan MailMarriage is a beautiful partnership between two people who love each other very much and would occasionally like the other person to stop making decisions.This week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, we’re wandering through the strange middle years, where brains change the rules without updating the manual, hormones begin operating as an independent government, and a perfectly ordinary conversation can suddenly require NATO intervention.We’ve also been traveling, which means spending alarming amounts of money to experience things we could never have predicted would make us sad, angry, confused, or philosophical. There are questions of ethics. Questions of privacy. Questions of whether civilization was a mistake. And, inevitably, an incident involving a crosswalk.Back home, we confront one of adulthood’s most relentless enemies: having to decide what to eat again. Apparently yesterday’s dinner did not permanently solve food. So we consider radical solutions to decision fatigue, unnecessary choices, daily routines, and the possibility that the secret to inner peace may simply be owning several identical shirts.Plus, we travel the globe without leaving our chairs, investigate some deeply peculiar back-to-school traditions, hear from Refined Gay Jeff, and continue our lifelong project of trying to become functional adults several decades after the deadline.It’s an episode about marriage, ADHD, perimenopause, parenting, decision fatigue, travel, routines, animals, food, tiny frustrations, and the increasingly suspicious amount of administrative work required simply to remain alive.Super Familiar with the Wilsons: Marriage 2.0 with kids and side quests.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

FIFA Is Corrupt and Dating Fails with Gavin Belson
Send us Fan MailWe invited Gavin from Be There With Belson over to talk about the World Cup, and for a few glorious minutes we actually stayed on topic. We get into soccer gatekeeping, why everyone becomes an elite tactical genius every four years, whether FIFA deserves your trust, and the surprisingly wholesome side of a tournament that somehow convinces billions of strangers to care about the same thing at the same time.Then the conversation wanders off like a toddler in the ALDI center aisle. We end up discussing modern dating, self-worth, perimenopause, medieval beer, coffee, conspiracy theories, and when your friends should have veto power over your dating profile.Also, Gavin may have the greatest collection of "How did this happen to me?" stories of any human we've ever met.Topics include: World Cup, soccer, football fandom, FIFA, Premier League, dating apps, self-worth, conspiracy theories, history trivia, Flashbacks, and whatever happened in the ten minutes we forgot to stay on topic.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Our 9 Year Old's Philosophy is "Life is Only Two Minutes Long"
Send us Fan MailJosh stops masking his ADHD, which accidentally launches one of the deepest conversations we've ever had. After feeding years of podcast transcripts into AI, we discover what artificial intelligence thinks our personalities actually are and it isn't entirely flattering.Along the way we wrestle with uncomfortable questions about identity, memory, and whether there's even such a thing as a single "real" version of ourselves. Then our nine year old casually delivers a line that sounds like it came from a Buddhist monk instead of a fourth grader.Also...World Cup musings, and Game Time from Amanda.It's an episode about identity, neurodivergence, parenting, pressure, and why every conversation in this family somehow ends with ancient Greece or medieval France.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Our Maine Trip, Horse Tornadoes, and Lobster Rolls
Send us Fan MailAfter two weeks away, we are back with stories from Maine, where delayed flights, lobster pounds, suspiciously homemade mayonnaise, and surprisingly charming small towns made for an unforgettable trip.Along the way, we debate airport etiquette, discover the world's largest cryptozoology museum, argue over fireworks parking, play a game of guessing perimenopause replacement words ("horse tornado" might become part of your vocabulary), answer listener emails, and wrestle with the surprisingly complicated question of whether friendships should always require equal effort.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

World Cup Fever and a Goat in Miami International Airport
Send us Fan MailWe're not saying the timeline is broken. We're just saying it could probably use a software update. Scientists believe reality is held together by a delicate web of cause and effect. We spend an hour trying to prove them wrong.Along the way, we become unexpectedly obsessed with the FIFA World Cup, attempt to choose Premier League teams, survive the glorious chaos that is Miami International Airport, spend way too much money on airport food, and discover an internet business that absolutely should not exist, and, by the way, a new sibling appears.Come for the conversation. Stay because, at some point, it becomes impossible to explain to another person what you're listening to.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Meanwhile, somewhere in Central Florida, an Irish accent slowly migrates.Also appearing in this episode: a suspiciously perfect town, a security guard quietly monitoring a Florida Man, a parking garage operating under entirely different laws of physics, a pantry exorcism, rogue paper bags, perimenopausal brain fog, patriotic inflatable overload, and a game so profoundly unnecessary that it circles all the way back around to being essential.No life lessons.

"Please Stop Worrying, You're Nine"
Send us Fan MailThis week, we're recording from our newly named pub, The Admiral's Rest, where conversations include kidney stones, children worrying about our mortality, and how artificial intelligence is getting dumber.We talk about the strange things kids fixate on when they're nine, the surprising number of jobs we've collected over the years, why buying used stuff feels like winning, and the growing realization that adulthood is mostly just trying to keep everyone calm while quietly Googling things yourself.Also: dog birthdays, darts, anxiety, work, aging, treasure hunting at thrift stores, and the possibility that pickled eggs may be a government experiment.Join us for another conversation about marriage 2.0, parenting, side quests, and whatever it is we're doing now instead of becoming responsible adults.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Parenting Through Soccer Trials and Troubles
Send us Fan MailThis week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, we record in the wild (nature: loud, unpredictable, vaguely threatening) and spiral into a conversation that includes, but is not limited to, youth sports, parenting philosophy, public behavior, small plastic instruments, and the general question of how any of us became adults.Somewhere in here a child learns something important about the human condition.We also explore parenting and resilience (how much is enough, how much is too much, and who decides?), marriage dynamics in real time (a live demonstration, no rehearsal, minimal supervision), The sociology of public spaces (featuring license plates)If you’ve ever wondered how kids become functional humans, questioned your reactions while you’re having them or found yourself thinking, “This feels like a metaphor, but I don’t know for what”…you’re in the right place.🎧 Super Familiar with the Wilsons: a podcast about marriage 2.0, parenting, relationships, and all the side quests, told in real time, slightly off-center, and with just enough self awareness to make it interesting.Go outside.

How Fie Scoobie Became “Mr. Gainesville”
Send us Fan Mail Sometimes your side quests take you straight into the heart of your city.In this episode of Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Josh and Amanda sit down at one of their favorite Gainesville pubs, The Bull, to talk with the man currently blowing up across town, local rapper Fie Scoobie, better known around here as “Mr. Gainesville.”What started as a hometown anthem suddenly caught fire when the Florida Gators basketball championship celebration sent his song echoing through downtown. One minute he was working at a club trying to get DJs to play the track…the next minute crowds were rushing him on the street yelling, “You’re our guy!”Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Along the way: we test our extremely questionable knowledge of English cities, wander into the sacred territory of awkward silence, and remember that being uncomfortable in a safe place is… weirdly kind of the point? Plus: a fresh round of “What the F**k Is John Saying?” (Game time: Scottish edition), and the return of anonymous internet confessions that will make you laugh, cringe, and possibly never trust your own nostrils again.

We share what happened when we swapped chaos for curation, added library cards and backyard soccer, and aimed for fewer tabs, more pages.Plus: awkward hobbies, doctoral dreams, camo flirting at Best Buy, existential chicken jokes, and why baby goats might be the true path to sanity.Less scroll.

No Evolutionary Reason for Hair in Unexpected Places
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Amanda and Josh stumble into one of those conversations that starts with a normal errand and quietly escalates into an existential audit.We talk about the unsettling moment you realize time has been moving faster than you thought, the kinds of questions kids ask right before sleep that absolutely should come with a warning label, and what it looks like to show up for people when comfort is no longer guaranteed.There’s discussion of aging bodies doing deeply unnecessary things, the difference between “helpful advice” and “internet nonsense,” and the small, oddly specific comforts that start to matter more than they reasonably should. Along the way, listener stories take us into memory lapses, long grudges, and decisions that made sense at the time.As always, this is a Marriage 2.0 conversation: less about having it figured out, more about laughing while you realize you don’t.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

One brain is Jeopardy-ready, the other is a busted library. We talk recall triggers, who actually influences us now, grounding strategies for anxious brains, and how love holds when everyone is overstimulated and the dog refuses peace.Listener emails derail things (steak juice, yearbook trauma, cult names), a history quiz resets the room, and we land with sports nerves, gratitude, and affection.Familiar, unhinged and accidentally useful.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Heated Rivalry, Cold Zambonis, And Parenting A Kid Who’s Bored
Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the person talking sounds confident but the body has other plans? We notice the glitch. We don’t fix it. We build around it.This episode wanders through identity slippage, energy math that no longer adds up, and the quiet renegotiation of how we show up for each other when the old rhythms stop working. There are new rules (gentler ones), abandoned expectations, and a few experimental side paths involving rooms, routines, and people gathering for reasons that are… intentionally unclear.Somewhere in here: a reframe of support, a resistance to forcing vibes, and a belief that ritual still matters—even if the instructions got lost. There’s parenting in the margins, health as a relationship instead of a checklist, and the radical idea that small, kind habits might be enough.No answers. No hustle. Just a slightly surreal conversation about building a life that fits better than the one you were handed.Listen. Or don’t. But if you do, bring a friend and your weirdest tiny habit.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

"Whiskey the Cider Up, Please" The Christmas Episode featuring Muffy Wilson
Send us Fan MailIt’s almost Christmas, and the Wilsons are doing what the holidays demand: attending suspiciously fancy work parties, negotiating drink-ticket economics, and discovering that nothing says “festive” like a giant Bluetooth speaker that could absolutely summon woodland cryptids on command.Then the neighborhood stages a rare, beautiful moment of HOA solidarity (the kind that can only happen at 9:00 a.m. on a Sunday when everyone is fueled by spite and cold coffee). From there, Josh & Amanda take a wholesome detour into a cozy writers’ open mic where poetry is alive, weird, and somehow both comforting and alarming.The episode also debuts a new segment that immediately proves why some segments should be left on the curb with the recycle truck (don’t microwave anything you respect). And finally: holiday music rankings, a “translate-the-song-title-into-a-science-paper” quiz, and a special guest who delivers Christmas takes and casually strolls into Stranger Things prediction territory like it’s a public park.Cozy, chaotic, jolly mess.

"Lad, Geezer, Bloke or Chap" with Gavin Belson
Send us Fan MailBarbecue-sauce “arson,” a stadium that literally farts during fireworks, and a coffee order that could break up a marriage, welcome to another perfectly unhinged conversation with our friend Gavin. We compare UK and US chaos, ride the annual “Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays” outrage carousel, and BBQ sauce.Gavin walks us through award winning pub bathrooms and a cursed KFC restroom, we investigate why the London Velodrome whoops like a cartoon character during fireworks, and we palate cleanse with cheese rolling, dog dancing, and a beautifully sloppy Rod Stewart clip.Our AITA segment features the domestic battle of the season: a simple offer of coffee turns into a barista-level demand with foam and syrups. Hospitality or entitlement? You decide. Gavin also gives a quick field guide to British masculinity: lad, bloke, chap, geezer, and a music rec you’ll want in your playlist.If you laughed, cringed, or yelled “Emily, make your own coffee,” follow, review, and tell us: lad, bloke, chap, or geezer?Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

We wander through Target pillow trials, Disney Springs escapism, Publix yoga-pant anthropology, open carry at the bookstore, HOA roller disco villains, and one surprisingly practical tip for calming anxiety and getting your body out of fight-or-flight without having to run a 5K.Along the way, we talk marriage after divorce, blended family chaos, parenting tweens and almost-teens, holiday stress, American gun nonsense, and why our kid has been officially prophesied to grow up into “a really good complainer” (the HOA guy said so, and honestly… fair).If you like funny couple podcasts, real-talk marriage conversations, relatable parenting fails, neurotic anxiety hacks, and suburban HOA drama with a side of Irish beans and French Christmas movies, this episode is absolutely for you.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

What KPop Demon Hunters Taught Us About Ourselves (Seriously)
Send us Fan MailMarriage 2.0 with kids means romance, mustaches, and emergency key fob batteries.

Listener stories bring tumbling couches, runaway cows, and Freaknik folklore. Plus: the cryptic Song Quiz, “What the (Heck) John Say?” in Scottish, birthdays for Muffy & Winthrop, and a surprising KPop fan.

The Chocolate Industrial Complex Strikes Again
Send us Fan MailHalloween candy mountain, party “forced fun,” and the eternal mystery of Why Every Kid Owns a 128 oz Water Bottle. In this comedy chat from Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Amanda and Josh rant about trick-or-treat overload, hosting a house full of costumed grown-ups, and building community without losing your mind (or your Kit Kats). We swap idiom-costume ideas for school (“piece of cake,” anyone?), give a tiny HOA update and play a cross-century slang game (Victorian “bumbershoot” to Gen Z “Shreking”). Plus, there’s a Fesshole segment. If you like marriage banter, parenting honesty, Gainesville gossip, and delightfully unscientific life advice, this one’s for you.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!

Also: the family dog’s dental drama.

College Parenting at 2 AM and Disney by 2 PM plus the Dobbins Effect
Send us Fan MailSleep-deprived, off the rails, and somehow leading straight into parental panic, moral victories, and one bed date.It’s a ride through a weekend that began with peace, steak, and football glory, and ended with a 2 A.M. call that tested their parenting nerves and their Wi-Fi connection. There’s a police car involved, a Disney detour, cosmic messages about fantasy football, and a suspiciously prophetic name. Meanwhile, Amanda rediscovers her sparkle thanks to modern medicine (and maybe Trader Joe’s), and Refined Gay Jeff makes a triumphant, spooky-season return to restore balance and taste to the universe.Somewhere between church bells and turtles, chaos and calm, the Wilsons manage to find the humor, humanity, and gluten-free pumpkin bread that make married life: Version 2.0 worth every ding, ding, detour, and Dobbins.Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsonsand on YoutubeContact us!
