Episode 3 is all about uncertainty. The kind you can laugh at, the kind that sneaks up on you, and the kind that shows up after six slices of salami. Dave and Reese talk fears (clowns included), parenting worries, the twin origin story and NICU chapter, and the small surprises that pull you back to hope. Plus, Emily and Jonnie join as surprise guests and ask questions that hit harder than expected.

Ep. 02 is the love episode, which means Dave and Reese cover the full range. The good relationships, the bad ones, and Reese’s former life as a “chaser” (she said it). Then they tell their origin story: Serendipity, U2 Day, the five-hour soup that probably violated several air-quality laws, and the Belvedere Castle moment that turned into the proposal.

You’ll also hear the smaller love language stuff: Carmex living in every pocket, pretzels being quietly murdered in bed, and Reese ending the episode the only way she knows how, sprinting to the bathroom.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Manic Joy, a podcast about life, love, and uncertainty.

Dave and Reese start by sharing the experiences that shaped who they are, where they think they’d be if life hadn’t gone the way it did, and the moment Reese would absolutely redo at age 13 (the lesson is simple: lock the door).

Then it’s listener question time. They talk about focusing on what you can control, how parenting changes your whole operating system, the people they’d have lunch with if they could, and why communication is the one thing relationships can’t skip.

Thanks for being here. Leave a review if you enjoyed it, and send in questions for the next episode.

And remember: life is a group project. Be kind to each other.
