- Stop Calling A Tiger Fluffy
Send us Fan Mail
A lot of people say they’re “animal lovers,” but love gets real when a pet stops being cute and starts needing structure, money, time, and a long-term plan. We go down the rabbit hole of dysfunctional pet ownership, from ordinary homes with dogs and cats to the risky world of exotic pets, and we ask the question that matters most: is this choice good for the animal or just exciting for the owner? We also talk about exotic pet ownership, a tiger isn’t “Fluffy” just because you named it that the fact is why “I love it” isn’t a care plan for wild animals. If this conversation hits home, subscribe, share it with a fellow pet person, and leave a review, then tell us: what pet trend makes you cringe?

Send us Fan Mail
Why do we remember Miss Susie Has A Steamboat forever, but not what we ate yesterday? We dig into classic folklore like Ring Around the Rosy and the plague theory behind its lyrics, plus the way other staples get linked to real events and power struggles. From Three Blind Mice and its grim imagery to Mary Mary Quite Contrary and the Bloody Mary rumors. Then we shift to the schoolyard material that trained a whole generation on innuendo and social rules: Miss Susie Has a Steamboat, clapping games, jump rope chants, and camp songs that were “naughty” without technically saying anything. We also laugh about counting-out rhymes like eenie meenie minie mo and bubblegum bubblegum in a dish, and what it felt like to be picked for teams when popularity and survival were on the line.

Send us Fan Mail
Moving, aging, and life changes eventually force almost everyone into a stressful rite of passage: finding a new doctor. On the Dysfunction Junkies Podcast, we talk through why switching providers can feel like dating, complete with first-impression nerves and that uneasy question of whether you can trust someone you just met. The patient experience shifts fast when you leave a familiar office, and you often do not realize what your old provider did well or missed entirely until a new practice runs tests you have never seen. That moment can be reassuring, alarming, or both, especially when you are just trying to stay on top of routine preventive care. How do you know when a “good doctor” is actually good? Listen and tell us your story?

Send us Fan Mail
We follow the Easter Bunny origin from ancient fertility themes to the American Easter basket tradition. And why are we putting our kids on a stranger’s lap in a creepy bunny suit? When did we normalize that? We unpack mall bunny anxiety, Easter holiday myths, and the stuff nobody says out loud. Listen, then drop your scariest Easter Bunny photo story?

Send us Fan Mail
April Dysfunction Junkies CARE: Autism comes up in conversation all the time, but “hearing the word” isn’t the same as understanding the people and families living it every day. For World Autism Month, we’re shining a light on the Autism Society of Greater Akron, a local organization doing practical, life-changing work across Northeast Ohio through advocacy, education, social programs, and community support. If you’ve been looking for credible autism resources or a place to start learning about neurodiversity, this conversation points you toward real help and real hope.

Send us Fan Mail
Microwaved candy bars in diapers. Toilet paper wrapped around a pregnant belly. A room full of people you half-know watching you open gifts you may not even need. We’ve both been to enough baby showers and bridal showers to admit it: a lot of “traditions” feel less charming with every year, and some of them are downright uncomfortable. We’re unpacking the most awkward traditions and how to make celebrations less painful. Listen now and tell us your worst game?

Twenty-four countries. That number still doesn’t feel real to us, and we had to hop on the mic for a Thankful Sunday to say it out loud and say thank you. From Wooster, Ohio to St. George, Utah, we’re proof you can build a podcast with friendship, consistency, and a willingness to show up exactly as you are, even when the camera turns on and YouTube becomes part of the plan. It's another episode of Thankful Sunday on the Dysfunction Junkies Podcast.
