Cheating used to be simple — now it’s a spectrum. In this episode, we dive into the messy, emotional, and digital gray zones of modern relationships. From TikTok DMs and thirst traps to Snapchat secrets and “gym friends,” we explore what cheating actually means in 2025.

We break down emotional vs. physical betrayal, why boundaries matter before a blowup, and how monogamy has evolved.

Let’s talk about sex, baby …post-baby. In this episode of It’s Mom O’Clock we’re getting real (and a little uncomfortably honest) about what sex after marriage actually looks like. From dry spells and duty sex to mismatched libidos and hiding from your kids just to get 10 minutes alone — nothing’s off the table. Whether you’re scheduling intimacy like a dentist appointment or just trying to remember the last time someone touched your boob not looking for milk, this one’s for you. This one’s for every couple trying to find their way back to each other through the mess, the love, and the long haul. It’s not always sexy, but it’s real.

This week, we’re unpacking the real summer survival kit — and no, it’s not sunscreen and beach towels (though, those help). We’re talking about the hacks, routines, and random little wins that are helping us keep our cool while school’s out and the chaos is in full swing. From what’s keeping our kids entertained without melting down by 10 a.m. to the things we’re doing for ourselves so we don’t completely lose it — we’ve got you. Grab your iced coffee, press play, and let’s survive this summer together.

You thought it was “Hot Mom Summer.” It’s actually “Mom, I’m hot. Mom, I need a snack. Mom, I’m bored.” We’re breaking down the chaos of summer with kids: vacations that aren’t vacations, swimsuit struggles, mom guilt, and why you need that iced coffee (or wine) just to survive the day. Hit play, it’s Mom O’Clock Somewhere.

Cribs, caddies, chaos — oh my. In this episode, Emily and Dom dive deep into the baby product jungle, exposing what’s worth the hype, what’s a complete scam, and what no one dares to put on a registry (peri bottles, we’re lookin’ at you). From holy grail lifesavers like the Baby Brezza and sound machines to total fails like wipe warmers and $80 trash cans for poop, they hold nothingback. Plus, it’s game time with “Buy It, Borrow It, or Burn It.” Spoiler: the wipe warmer didn’t survive.

Tagline: The only thing you really need? Sanity, caffeine, and friends who’ll tell you not to buy the Bumbo.

EPISODE 9: "When The Dads Got The Mic...And We Got Anxiety"

In honor of Father’s Day, we handed the mics to our husbands… and instantly questioned our decision. Emily’s husband Joey (dad of 3 toddlers) and Dom’s husband Michael (first-time dad of a wild 15-month-old) get brutally honest about dad life — the wins, the fails, and the stuff they usually keep to themselves.

From poop-stained shirts to secret late-night Google searches, they’re spilling it all:

Who their favorite kid is (yep, we asked)

Their biggest dad fails

The unfiltered reality of parenting

And why they love their crazy, chaotic wives.

Zero prep. Maximum chaos. Slight risk to our marriages. You don’t want to miss this one.

We’re throwing it way back to the feral 90s—Dunkaroos, blacklight trauma on Room Raiders, and no helmets in sight—then fast-forwarding to today’s Gen Z madness, where kids speak in TikToks and need a trophy just for trying. It’s chaos vs. curated… and we’re just trying to survive both.

EPISODE RECAP:

This week on It’s Mom O’Clock Somewhere, we’re recapping our very different experiences at the same wedding — because of course we didn’t live the same reality.

SEGMENT 1: “Two Moms, Two Very Different Weddings” Emily was living her best kid-free, care-free, and mildly feral life — dancing, sleeping in, and finding love in… a janitor’s closet. Meanwhile, Dom brought Gio and tried to hand him off, but still heard phantom cries during the vows and stayed half-on-the-clock with a side of “false freedom.”

SEGMENT 2: “Wine, Weddings, and Wondering Who’s Watching the Kids” We talk about drinking (mostly) guilt-free, trying to vibe like our pre-mom selves, and the kind of mom guilt that crashes the party like your ex who still wears Axe body spray.

SEGMENT 3: “Post-Wedding Whiplash” Coming home slapped us with the mental load like a confetti cannon of chaos. Was the break even worth it? (Spoiler: yes, but also no.)

Love languages before kids? Sexy, sweet, spontaneous. Love languages after kids? Sleep, solo Target trips, and someone else handling bedtime. In this episode, we break down how our romantic vibes turned into survival strategies—and why “folding the damn laundry” is hotter than foreplay these days. Touch me? Only if you’re holding snacks.
