The Relation Script

In this episode, we break down what’s truly worth it and what’s not when it comes to planning your big day. From DJs and flowers to party buses and desserts, we’re sharing our honest takes based on our wedding experience. We dive into some of the unexpected hiccups we faced, like a bridesmaid showing up with the wrong dress and a maid of honor forgetting her bouquet right before walking down the aisle. Tune in for real talk, a few laughs, and helpful insights to hopefully make your wedding day a little smoother or to give a little grace to those who are going through it or have already themselves.

As spring approaches, we dive into Brendan's idea of warm weather fashion, the anxiety of planning and traveling, and revisiting past trips that now feel equal parts surreal, nostalgic, and borderline fever-dream chaos.

We’re back after we celebrated our friend's dirty 30 in Pigeon, Michigan and are still recovering. This time, we feature a few friends and unpack our Sunday Scaries. We share some behind-the-scenes moments from the weekend, and get into a few random side stories… like Brooke getting rear-ended by a very questionable driver and debating why car insurance sucks. Recovery mode, questionable decisions, and plenty of laughs.

In this episode, we spiral through irrational textures, AI taking over the world (starting with our parents), & why Costco on a Sunday should be illegal. We debate the absolute chaos of self-checkout—Kroger vs Aldi—& uncover Brooke’s ongoing struggle with “dyslexia of the mouth,” where chicken tenders somehow becomes grilled chicken every time. It’s anxious, chaotic, slightly unhinged… and very us.

In this episode, we dive into our experience of buying our first home together including all the silly stories and home projects we tackled which tested our patience, communication skills, and our definitions off what "leveled” means. Tune in to reminisce with us on the time a squirrel broke into our basement and sent us into full survival mode.

Everyone grows up with an invisible script for how they think life is supposed to go.For some, you meet someone, fall in love, get married, buy a house, have kids, and everything else just kind of… falls into place.But no one tells you about the part where you’re married, pushing 30, arguing about finances, watching your friends have babies, questioning your timeline, and wondering if you’re behind or exactly where you’re supposed to be.Instead, it's a collection of unexpected moments— funny stories, awkward phases, lessons you didn’t ask for, and experiences that shape you while you’re just trying to keep up.This podcast lives in that space between the plan and the reality.Where plans change, priorities shift, and the script keeps getting rewritten.We’re married, we love each other, we bicker a lot, and we’re learning as we go.Some weeks we feel on track.Other weeks we’re asking, “Is this normal?”We talk about the things we’ve lived through— the wins, the mess-ups, the memories that still make us laugh, and the moments that quietly taught us something along the way.Some episodes are light. Some are reflective. Most are honest. A lot are funny.And every now and then, we share advice we wish someone had given us sooner.There’s no perfect timeline here. Just real conversations about figuring it out as we go and learning to enjoy the ride—even when it looks nothing like the script.
