Summary

This episode starts as a real life check-in and turns into a bigger conversation about how the internet creates narratives in real time. We talk about dealing with sickness in marriage, navigating a chaotic season of school tours and parent dynamics, and learning how to give each other grace when someone isn’t operating at 100 percent. Then we fully lean into the Alix Earle and Tom Brady headlines because… yeah, we called it. We break down why this storyline felt obvious to us, how PR and timing quietly drive these moments, and why the internet always rushes to crown a winner and a loser after a breakup.
