There’s nothing better than relaxing into the holiday season…unless you’re around family, of course. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon deal with holiday drama from petty in-laws to boyfriends that will never become husbands. It would be a holiday miracle if everyone got along during this season but you can’t make everyone happy. Once you accept that the holidays come with drama, you can actually relax into the experience because you can’t have joy without a little bit of sadness.

How do you confront your MIL? How do you back out of a wedding? How do you sleep with a newborn? These are questions that Jon and Alex try to answer on this week’s episode. With little to no sleep, our new parents tackle wedding woes, passive-aggressive mother-in-laws, and a cake story that will might make you never trust a bakery again.

Welcome to the world, Lucy Grey! Alex and Jon had a baby and she’s more perfect than you could ever imagine. In this week’s episode, they discuss their trip to the hospital and what it’s like to finally have their daughter in their arms. Yes, it's a bunch of sleepless nights and a complete change of lifestyle, but they couldn’t be happier. Even in the throws of new parenthood, they still have time to answer your questions and give advice. Take it lightly, though. They’re running on negative 10 hours of sleep.

Apparently, your soulmate is supposed to look like you…I guess Alex and Jon prove that theory. In this week’s episode, we’ve got one crazy story for you after another. We’ve got cheating, we’ve got herpes, and we’ve got threesomes! The ultimate trifecta. For some, three’s a crowd but for others…it’s standard. The only third thing Alex and Jon are adding their relationship is their beautiful baby girl! She’s set to arrive any day now so this is the last episode before Jon and Alex are thrust into the world of parenthood. Today’s stories may be wild but they’re nothing compared to the journey they’re about to embark on.

If you like it, put a *bigger* ring on it. Guys, listen up! Wedding rings are just like cars. They deserve an upgrade every few years. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon talk ring upgrades, prenups before marriage, and issues with having a codependent partner. If you break it down, marriage is very simple: take charge, make decisions, and upgrade your rings. Did we just solve marriage? Probably not but this is a good place to start.

Has body positivity gone too far? To answer this question, we have our first guest on the podcast, Victoria Garrick Browne! A fellow content creator, mental health advocate, and founder of the Hidden Opponent, Victoria is hands down the most impressive person Alex and Jon have ever met. She joins the pod to share insightful points on body positivity, the “myth” of will power, and how to encourage your partner to live a healthier lifestyle with you. It’s Alex and Jon like you’ve never seen them before: serious and focused. Jon tries to impress Victoria with his volleyball experience but it’s clear theres no comparison. She was a D1 athlete and Jon is, well…Jon.
