Relationships are the story. And this week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, that story includes Olympic drama, jalapeño eye trauma, Gen X sex education trauma, and one extremely inconvenient question from a nine-year-old.

We dive into Winter Olympics chaos (cheating scandals, flying survivalists, and medals that can’t hang), flash back to how we learned about “the birds and the bees” (spoiler: not well), and wrestle with modern parenting in a world where YouTube exists and woods no longer hide questionable magazines.

There’s also:

• A surprisingly intense olive oil investigation
• A New York Times history game gone sideways
• Listener emails from Ohio to Germany
• Random ear hairs (why?)
• Screen time struggles
• Thrift store fashion wins
• And one heartfelt reminder to say the thing before it’s too late

It’s marriage 2.0. With kids. And side quests.
Always the side quests.

Subscribe, listen, and please… don’t punch a puppy.

Parenting in a digital world can feel like steering a canoe in crosswinds, especially when your kid starts sounding like a gaming livestream.

This week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, we talk screen time boundaries, YouTube rabbit holes, media literacy for kids, and finding the middle ground between isolation and algorithm overload. 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. More soul.

Across the alley, a neighbor becomes a character and the neighborhood turns into a stage: speeding cars, a beloved Nemo pumpkin, and grudges with no names.

Meanwhile, a small boy puts on glasses and the world snaps into HD. He starts speaking in riddles, announcing new powers, and requesting a meeting about budgets like a tiny haunted accountant.

We also open one email, avoid several emotions, and briefly question whether realism has gone too far.

In 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.

A pointless bedtime food count mutates into a conversation about memory, influence, ADHD, perimenopause, barking dogs, and the ongoing group project known as Marriage 2.0.

Gen X exhaustion meets Gen Alpha chaos. 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.

What 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.

How not to litigate your marriage like it’s a podcast court. Memory misfires. Sleep disappears. Someone says “circle back” and a soul leaves a body. Embarrassment is declared a lifestyle. Cringe becomes courage in a novelty hat. No onions are harmed. Art appears. Strangers clap. Wellness culture smells like fish and asks too many questions. Listener messages arrive carrying thermostat wars, sacred mugs, and mysteries best left unsolved. If you enjoy funny relationship podcasts, surreal self-help, and watching adults cope in real time—this is for you. Follow. Share. Protect your intention like a raccoon guarding trash at midnight.
