    Does it Sound Like a Seal or Walrus?

    Does it Sound Like a Seal or Walrus?

    Spring Break is over and you know what that means? That right, one or all the kids are sick. Coincidence backseaters? I think not. They are also developed an excellent acting career with those hacking “coughs”, but we know better, right? Wet or Dry? We’ll let you decide. We catch up on Dustin’s run through Syracuse and his special hospitality, wild dreams and bad sleep, can you really “make it” in New York?, and how one nephew makes his aunt’s life terrible.

    We Were Wrong About Theatre Kids

    We Were Wrong About Theatre Kids

    There’s a lot we got wrong all these years between raising kids, marriage, career, but the biggest surprise you ask? Theater kids are cooler than all of us. At the end of the literal day, we’re watching them sing on TV, star in the best films, and keep making weird the pinnacle of success. This week we recap our kid’s performance in the musical Annie, break down our relentless parenting calendar, bad science on plants and trees, mean teenagers, and much more!

Love this podcast

Never related more to a podcast about parenting than this one! Dustin and Melissa keep it real and are a blast to listen to! Former youth pastors wife here and I love all the jokes about that as well! This podcast gives “I love Jesus but cuss a little “ vibes!
