Welcome to 2024! We sure missed you all.

In this first episode of the new year, we’ll catch you up on our crazy apartment move right before the holidays and why the perfect air fryer makes all the difference. Several major life events happen, and if you can make it through a shit show of a move with your partner, then you can make it through anything together.

We share what we’re leaving behind in 2023 and taking with us in 2024. If you haven’t guessed it yet, yup, we are giving zero fucks in 2024! What are you leaving behind and taking with you into the new year?

We’re also introducing our first guest, an exceptional guest; Brandy’s mom is here to talk with us! She tells us how she feels great at age 80 and why her best advice about the person you love the most is to “Love them the most when they are least lovable.”

Happy Listening!

Just from this title you can tell Brian and Brandy really don’t hold back. It’s been a month since the last episode but for good reason…they are parents. Listen to their excuses, a live fart moment, a fart story and what to do or what you can’t do when the kid cursing goes off the rails. A little reminder to laugh and that this podcast is definitely not for kids. Ha!
They dive into the current shits how that is the GOP without a House Speaker and why dismantling policies for equality is a dumb idea. Learn about the Fearless Fund and how empowering and investing in women of color is a smart idea.

Episode 10 just dropped! So much happened in the last couple weeks; within our family and of course with the wildfire that happened in Maui. We talk about solo parenting, Brian got COVID…again and we reminisce about the happy times we spent in Hawaii, specially in Maui. We share more than just our thoughts and prayers to the survivors and the souls lost, we share about how you can take action to support those effected. By the end of this episode we hope you get a sense that ‘Everything Will Be Ok’.

Summer is under way and we hope you're remembering to take deep breaths as our children are running around the home. We had to take a short break but we hope you enjoyed our previous episodes that we RE-introduced to ya’ll.

We've been excited to share this episode because we're doing our first-ever giveaway. We’re giving away a book and it’s not just any book, it’s one of the banned books in the state of Florida: Amanda Gorman’s “The Hill We Climb”. Amanda made history as the youngest Poet Laureate to recite her poem at President Joe Biden’s Inauguration. We go into why restricting access to a book about hope and unity is absurd and why we chose it as our first-ever giveaway on our show. Brandy shares how doing a book report about Malcolm X was inspiring and gives a shout our to her 8th grade teacher, Ms. Brinsko for not banning not only a controversial book but a controversial public figure. Perhaps most teachers knows best in the classroom.
Happy Listening!

Listen up, parents! This one's for you or anyone who wants to empathize with us during this crazy ride of parenting. Sometimes we say things we shouldn't about our kids, but you know you're thinking it too, so we'll say it out loud for you! The school year is ending, events are packed in, emotions are running high and our little ones are still navigating their feelings - or should we say attitudes? Brandy shares a hilarious story of (disclaimer) Mandarin orange throw-up, Brian shares his 'Elton John' story and we define projection so that you can be aware if you're putting your past shit onto your kids. We also explain why the 'happiest kid on the block' can be so annoying. Happy Listening!

Brian has been anticipating this episode. He shares his amazing marriage proposal that almost didn’t happen in Palawan, Philippines. It was an adventure and there were miracles all around but he couldn’t have pulled it off without his LA community. The story is about what’s possible when you don’t give up and BELIEVE. Speaking of believing, they just watched the season or series, who knows, finale of Ted Lasso and talk about the positivity that exudes from the hit show. Don’t worry no spoilers. But first off the episode starts by acknowledging this year’s Memorial Day at the end of May and the intense workout called ’The Murph that Brandy did in honor of our fallen soldiers. Sometimes we try to do our part, not matter how big or small to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Happy Listening!

Why celebrate AAPI Heritage Month? What is AAPI? What is Intergenerational trauma and what does that have to do with spanking kids? So many questions and we have some answers, well at least we have our own experiences to share and make sense of these topics. AAPI stands for Asian American and Pacific Islander. We talk about the important contributions these communities has had on our country and why it’s important to keep AAPI representation and traditions alive and well. Brandy shares little bit about her Filipino upbringing especially growing up in the Philippine Performing Arts Company of Tampa Bay (PPAC). Both Brian and Brandy share how they were spanked by the slipper or wooden spoon and why that generational curse ends with them and their kids. Happy Listening!

In this episode we reminisce about our first vacation together as a new couple, what annoyed each other and what made us smitten over each other. Let’s just say it entailed a long bike ride and a hammock. The days of traveling without kids are no more. The short car trips and kicking back in the plane with a hot cup of coffee are long gone. Hello long car rides, lugging heavy car seats and extend iPad use. Don’t get us wrong, we use to be the judgmental child-free couple who rolled our eyes to the sound of crying babies, yes we own it. But now we roll our eyes back to the judgy child-free traveler listening to our kids being loud. Kids will be kids, babies will be babies, most times they can’t help how they’re feeling, but a man-baby crying over a baby crying is one shit show too far. Happy Listening!
