It's Mom O'Clock

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of a traumatic accident and themes of death. Please listen with care.

This week we’re opening up about a life-changing experience that shook everything we thought we knew about motherhood, safety, and control. Em shares the raw story of witnessing a devastating accident — and how it forced her to confront her own mortality, intrusive thoughts, and the way becoming a mom makes every danger feel magnified.

 But at the heart of it, this episode isn’t just about fear — it’s about perspective. About realizing how fragile life is, why being present matters, and how motherhood has taught us to find gratitude and humor even in the darkest moments.

 If you’ve ever had those intrusive “what if” thoughts, felt the weight of mom anxiety, or needed a reminder to slow down and appreciate the messy miracle of being alive — this one’s for you.

This week, Dom and Emily try to figure out what life looks like after peaking with Snooki. From behind-the-scenes stories (like Snooki’s two-hour nap while Emily cracked crabs with her MIL and kids) to the “emotional hangover” of having a legit reality TV legend in their studio, the girls dive into what comes next

They break down the chaos of post-vacation mom life (Legoland birthdays, stroller drama, and $16 poolside High Noons), roast Barstool’s live stream from the Jersey Shore house (“felt less like a rager and more like chaperoning prom”), and ask the hard question: has social media officially killed fun? 

To top it off, Emily admits she’s stuck in the 2010s with her side part and mom-chop avoidance, chokers, and the golden era of Jersey Shore chaos.

It’s part recovery, part crisis, and all chaos.

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.

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.
