Buckle up, kids, ‘cause Mom and Dad dig into some parenting topics tonight. From teaching your kids drama/trauma to triangulating your baby daddy, this is your one-stop-shop for blending your families with as little murder as possible. We wrap up with a macro lens look at the value of being rude and when teaching manners becomes detrimental.

Also, the lady half has realized that she cuts her dude off every 15 seconds and absolutely domineers the podcast lately. Yikes. She’s working on it, for real.

Tonight we talk about the ups and downs of friend groups, their maintenance cost, and how supportive/not-so-supportive they can be. Parenting and the inherent drama of young children takes the stage, and the two halves try to suss out if the world's most adorable 3-year-old is being rude.

Intellectual property makes a surprise comeback in the context of gaming engines. We end our session, dear listener, with a par-for-the-course discussion of racial dynamics in American media and the global economy.

In this installment, the ever-determined halves of AYWMRN release their post-fight statement. They make stupid wrestling jokes and dissect the dichotomy of friendships vs. romantic relationships. They also pull apart the ideas of relating to a person in the present as they are vs. fixating on a relationship as an entity separate from and larger than either partner themself. Brought to you by bitterness, self-loathing, and alcohol/collar ASMR!

After skipping The Haunted Episode (the never-to-be-aired 013), the AYWMRN team returns to you with their regularly scheduled emotions. The female half talks emotional sacrifices (stay tuned in the long run for this discussion) and concrete steps to making witnessing a trip more palatable; the male half goes over his growing understanding of BPD and how young'uns in school these days have a lack personal responsibility. Toward the end we defy his therapist's request to not drop off into politics, oops.

Listen to us fight about drugs and trauma for like an hour straight! I say mean things, have BPD, and cry. Debates about acceptance and boundaries abound. Spoiler: we both get hurt and frustrated and stubborn and no closer to a resolution. This issue sucks and I hate it. It gets better in 014, though -- promise.

Today the two halves of AYWMRN run the gamut from DBT coping skills and the balance of patience vs. appreciation to global empathy and states' rights. Do identity intersections serve a purpose? Do 12 Step programs even work? Who gets to live anyway? We sure don't know.

Tonight's all about a power dynamic and the vulnerability that comes with it. We have some #feelings about what it means to be Little and the idea of being Little around people outside of our relationship. Join our ongoing conversation about kink as a venture vs. self-expression. Also, have some #insecurity on both sides about family gatherings, non-overlapping friend groups, infidelity, control, and friendship boundaries!

This week we talk in circles about relationship boundaries with kids, how to not be gross with a DD/lg dynamic, how truly abnormal my parents are about dating, and the completely novel idea of having a meaningful one-on-one relationship with your future stepkid.

Listen til the end to hear if we fake-break-up or not! Gotta keep you guys on your toes somehow.

We finally recorded in the same room again! Which means that the voice quality is 100000 times softer and clearer than usual.

In what is undoubtedly my favorite episode yet, the two halves of this emotional podcast discuss collective identity, the downfall of Mike Boudet, and familial communication. We talk some more about the EIS and why video games are so fun.

In which the male half of this podcast gets cheeky and scores my emotional meltdown, lol.

Tonight we delve into the mechanics of child abuse, why I am terrified of parenting, and taking an important step towards being a family two months into a relationship!

We end with a rousing discussion of intellectual property and whether artists deserve to be compensated for their work. Just another wild ride with the AYWMRN crew, so buckle up -- it's the law.
