We’ve all sent a drunken text to an ex…but while you’re in a relationship? In this week’s episode, we’re discussing relationships in all forms: parental, friendly, and romantic. Every form matters but they all require different skills and Jon and Alex are here to help you navigate through each one. They’re still working on their relationships with Lucy…which seems mostly one sided since all she does it take…but she gives so much cuteness it doesn’t even matter.

It’s the season of giving! But Jon says stop. STOP BUYING GIFTS!

9 December 2025, 8:00 am - 1 hour 19 minutes80. Giving you commitment, vandalism, and hallucinogens
Sometimes all you want from family is attention..and all of it. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon once again tackle your questions from “How do I get more attention?” to “Was Dr.Seuss on drugs?”. I think we can all agree he was on SOMETHING when writing his books, right? Alex seems to think so since all she does now is read to Lucy. Jon can’t focus on reading because he’s too busy defending crimes like vandalism. If you can’t tell, this episode has a range of topics so there’s something for everyone!

"Can we get a family photo? Just without you?”. The in-laws are ON ONE this episode. Thanksgiving is this week and Alex and Jon are here to help you stay thankful during the holiday season. From requesting photos without you to believing the earth is flat, family members are really testing the limits to their relationships with our listeners.

There’s nothing better than relaxing into the holiday season…unless you’re around family, of course. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon deal with holiday drama from petty in-laws to boyfriends that will never become husbands. It would be a holiday miracle if everyone got along during this season but you can’t make everyone happy. Once you accept that the holidays come with drama, you can actually relax into the experience because you can’t have joy without a little bit of sadness.
