Overthinking with the Overbys

Send a message to the pod!

Picture this: you're gearing up for a road trip with your best bud, but Amazon has thrown a wrench into your plans. Join us, Jo and Matt, as we vent about our Amazon grievances and share the amusing tales from our upcoming 11-day journey. We'll walk you through our travel hot-takes, the nail-biting contingency plans, and the strangely comforting thought of having familiar faces scattered across our route.

Ever had a garage project go hilariously sideways? Well, buckle up because we're about to take you on a wild ride of our own. From our scrapped plans for swings and plants, to the unexpected challenges and victories of our DIY hanging bed, we've got a tale worth telling. We'll also give you a taste of our contrasting working styles, our battles with perfectionism, and an ill-fated hardware store escapade that still leaves us red faced.

Now, let's get real about anxiety, the nuances of relationships, and the intriguing reads we've come across. From Jo's frightful nightmares of a demolished butterfly garden to our musings on an AC innovation, you'll get a peek into our minds. Add to that a deep-dive into the complexities of blended families and our take on some internet wisdom from women over 40 - your mid-week dose of hilarity and heart is assured. So, hit that 'subscribe' button, drop us a review and get ready for a wild ride with Jo and Matt, your friendly neighborhood podcasters.

We're back in the studio and better than ever! We get into how the rest of our travel went with two kids under two, what we've been up to this week, and where we chose to splurge when renovating our home and where we chose to save / DIY.  We hit the usual segments and get to a handful of listener emails!
