In the final episode of Season 5, Jodie and Celia record the show in front of a very special live audience: international Never Nationers Gemma and Didi! It is only appropriate for the ladies to read Never Nationers fan mail, but does this show ever stay appropriate for long? Celia makes sure it does not by stripping down to the promised pasties from episode 20. And the inappropriate continues with the “nevers” sent from all of you! From pig nipples to period hats, this season ends with a...

Jodie and Celia get some therapy on this week’s episode… Recess Therapy, that is! Recess Therapy is the viral Tiktok/Instagram account where Julian Shapiro-Barnum takes to the streets of NYC and interviews New Yorkers aged 2 to 9 on a variety of wild topics. These mini citizens do an excellent job of reminding the ladies about the importance of staying weird at any age. Not that either of them have completely forgotten. But all parents know the power of being validated by a child given how...

This week Jodie and Celia provide salvation for parents and kids who are hardcore struggling with Common Core math: the phenomenal Kyne! Kyne is the magical Canadian Drag Race contestant who began her drag career while studying mathematics.

The result is her wildly popular TikTok @kyneonline that makes math...

This week the ladies talk about the silent epidemic of teen depression. This is an episode that no parent should miss as the rate of depression in teens is now at an all time high. There are many reasons and many consequences for our kids so the more information parents have, the better.

This week, the ladies discuss the movie, Turning Red, how some critics were turned off by the plot, and why the two of them are pretty ticked off over their “critiques”. Celia, also, tells Jodie the latest term Lulu has been misusing which, ultimately, led to a parenting fail wrapped up in a Never Thought I’d Say This moment.

This week, Jodie and Celia get a massive dose of reality when they dissect what it’s like to raise mini versions of themselves. They discuss all of the best and worst qualities they’ve passed onto their kids, how proud (and terrified) they are of their girls’ ever growing anonymity, and how unbelievably hard it can be to recognize that their struggles are their own. Then, the ladies speak of the magic that IS Xanadu, and share some April Foolery. A million lights are dancing in this week’s...

Jodie and Celia never thought that having kids would, also, mean having bouts of rage, or the fair amount of shame and self-judgment that follows that rage. They, also, never thought they would find out they are FAR from alone in those feelings. On this week’s episode, the ladies open up about “mom rage,” share some stories of perinatal mood disorders, and how unnatural “natural” mothering can feel! And, of course, there’s a pretty fantastic never-before shared parenting fail that will...

We are all about the dramatic this week. A dramatic love of breadsticks, a dramatic reading of said love of breadsticks, a dramatic recount of, well, the drama of being dramatic in this Greek drama known as parenting. Jodie and Celia are talking about the viral TikTok from pregnant mama, Cassie Carter, who found herself a tad emotional over a carb craving.

Jodie jumps into this episode with a parenting fail so epic that it almost renders Celia speechless. Almost. They, then, talk about the myriad of emotions they have while watching their daughters growing up in such unprecedented times. They delve into some parenting trends they don’t understand, and judge the hell out of themselves for all the various ways they screw things up. And by “they”, we are referring to the squirrels who are to be blamed for everything. Plus, Jodie does an impression...

Jodie and Celia kick off the episode by discussing Jodie’s project, Beyond The Edge, airing on CBS prime time, this month! Jodie spent time deep in the jungles of Panama while Celia spent time without her best friend, leaving her feeling pretty lonely. Not lonely enough to ever want to spend time in a jungle, but still. Jodie and Celia, then, talk about how the pandemic has left middle age moms (because they are BOTH middle age now. Ha ha.) feeling more lonely and isolated than ever. Plus,...
