Episode 3 is here and it's basically a football game, except the only contact sport is parenting toddlers into bedtime. We're talking fantasy football injuries (and why your bench player's turf toe is not, in fact, a personal betrayal), introducing a brand new segment that may or may not survive past this episode, confessing what coaching your own kid's team does to your nervous system, and finally settling the age-old marriage debate of who actually does the dishes vs. who just claims they do. Nobody wins. Everybody's tired. Welcome back!

Life doesn't always run the play you called and this week, we're talking about the moments we had to change ours. We open up about getting released from Chicago and what it actually felt like to have the rug pulled and pivot on the fly. Then we shift into how we communicate as a team, using football terms to call our own plays in marriage and parenting. And finally, we tackle the never-ending battle of trying to keep our kids off tablets. No huddle, no script, just real conversations, one audible at a time.

It is kickoff week for In the Trenches with Jen and Len. We introduce ourselves, share why we created this show, and open up about our four quarters; life, marriage, parenting, and football. This is the first snap of many - thanks for being here with us.
