In this snack-sized episode, Ophira Eisenberg sits down with comedy writers Wendy and Lizzie Molyneux, the creative forces behind Bob’s Burgers and The Great North. The sisters open up about the controlled chaos of parenting large families while balancing successful careers in animation. Wendy, a mom of four, and Lizzie, a mom of three, discuss household rules that almost work, from no iPads during the week to family dinners free of devices.
The conversation takes a hilarious turn into the absurdities of modern parenting, including the inexplicable popularity of Skibbity Toilet videos and how kids find the weirdest ways to express themselves. They share how their childhood in a semi-feral but structured household shaped their humor and creative collaboration. The sisters also reflect on letting kids be their wonderfully bizarre selves while figuring out how to guide them through a screen-heavy world.
