  • Resumen

  • You know when you talk to your friends about your childhood and end it by saying, "But look at us, we're fine!" Here's my question: Are we fine? Because we're sitting here doused in CBD oil under a weighted blanket recording a podcast called Parenting is a Joke. Each week, host and standup Ophira Eisenberg talks to a different comedian about their career and their kids. Conversations tackle the tooth fairy, eating sticks, summer camp anxiety, the hidden horrors of childbirth, and the obvious horrors of our own childhoods. We celebrate the absurdity of shuffling a career with raising a kid, and highlight less traditional parenthood journeys, all while relishing in the fact that no one knows what they're doing, but we're all trying! Sometimes even our best. New episodes every Tuesday. New Season October 1st.

  • Live from PodJam: Parenting, Potty Training, and How to Talk to Kids About Politics

    Live from PodJam: Parenting, Potty Training, and How to Talk to Kids About Politics
    Apr 29 2025
    Recorded live from PodJam in Henderson, Nevada, this special episode of Parenting is a Joke features Ophira Eisenberg hosting a lively panel of working moms—Desiree Goble, Rachel Spitz, Kim Nyborg, and Ty Vosslership—who bring real-world parenting tales from all corners of the U.S. They swap stories about managing chaotic departures to attend PodJam, mean girl drama in middle school, sleep training regrets, the challenges of potty training a stubborn toddler, and even the emotional rollercoaster of raising kids with anxiety and OCD. The panelists share how they talk to their children about current events, including one standout conversation about teaching kids to assess politics by asking, "Does it help or hurt?" Plus, Ophira gets surprised by a guest appearance from Dr. Aaron Carroll, who reassures parents about delayed potty training and puts breastfeeding pressure into perspective. From freezer-stashed breastmilk jewelry plans to a hilarious “balance of the fucks” parenting philosophy, this episode is a relatable snapshot of modern parenting's daily victories and absurdities.

    In this special return episode, David Cross and Amber Tamblyn join Ophira Eisenberg for a lively conversation about their creative household, balancing big careers with raising their daughter, and the unexpected side effects of school lunch anxiety. David talks about his hands-on parenting style and the limits of “gentle parenting” when a 4-year-old starts giving ultimatums, while Amber shares the surreal moment of explaining her teenage friendship with Hillary Clinton to their daughter. They open up about their collaborative dynamic, what it's like having a kid with two artists as parents, and the occasional need to pretend a granola bar is a “treat.” With plenty of laughs and thoughtful observations, this episode offers a rare peek into the rhythms of family life with two powerhouse creatives. 📍 April Shows are in NYC, OH, and Las Vegas!

    Andy Haynes & Rosebud Baker Live at Moontower
    Apr 22 2025
    Recorded live in Austin at the Moontower Comedy Festival, this episode features married comics and new parents Andy Haynes and Rosebud Baker getting real about parenting with a comic’s sensibility. They talk about welcoming their daughter into the world just five months ago and how that's affected everything from their marriage to their material. Rosebud shares the moment she realized her baby might have her same savage comedic instincts, and Andy recounts accidentally performing for a crowd full of toddlers. The two reflect on balancing their careers with early parenthood, finding humor in sleepless nights, and why their baby’s first word might be a well-timed curse. From festival stage mishaps to bedtime routines, this conversation captures the chaos and comedy of parenting as performers. 📍 April Shows are in NYC, OH, and Las Vegas!
