  • Masterpieces, Motherhood, and the Merits of Me Time

    Send a message to the pod!

    This week on the podcast we talk about embracing the joy our latest attempt to revive our creative sides, as we sat down and laughed through painting each other's portraits with zero experience painting. After sharing our light-hearted critique of each other's masterpieces, we get into our week experiencing some real art, and wrap up with Bad Dad / Mean Mom. 

    After going through Greg's Reads of the week we talk through your voicemails and emails! We tackle the myths surrounding what it means to be complete, and the significance of nurturing our relationships and personal time. From pondering the unconditional love for our children and furry friends to championing the beauty of being single, this episode is an invitation to applaud every brushstroke in the painting of life — no matter what picture you're working on.

  • Daylight Savings Strikes Again

    Send a message to the pod!

    Matt starts today's episode out with a bang, narrowly dodged injuring himself and all of the podcast equipment just after pressing record! We then peel back the layers of parenting, from the lessons we learn in the middle of yet another sleep-deprived night - to the unexpected wisdom that spills from the mouths of babes. And if that's not enough, we'll reveal how daylight savings threw a monkey wrench into our best laid plans and family routines.

    Ever wondered what's behind the walls of those stunning home makeovers on TV? Join us as we buzz about "Rock the Block" and dive into our own tales of renovation. Discover why a 32-inch door can be a game-changer and reminisce on the luxury of double doors. We'll explore the craftsmanship that often goes unnoticed, celebrating the unsung heroes and what really turns houses into homes. But it's not all hammers and nails—we get real about the mental load of managing a home, the guilt of work travel, and the societal pressures on parents. Our personal stories aim to resonate and reassure that you're not alone in the struggle for an equitable partnership at home.

    Wrap up your day with us as we engage with listener feedback, from anxiety-reducing articles to quirky birthday traditions. We debate the merits of spicing up our segments with some WWE flair (thanks, Hannah!), and acknowledge the silent superhero of the show. So, if you're up for a potpourri of emotions and a hefty dose of laughter, our candid conversations are sure to be a welcome addition to your podcast queue. Remember, it's the little things in life—and in our episode—that stitch everything together.

    Send a message to the pod!

We get it, and that's why we're here to laugh, wince, and navigate the intricacies of daily life with you.

Join us as we unravel these threads with a mix of curiosity, humor, and an occasional side trip to embarrassing college stories.

  • Bottle Blunders and Dance Disasters

    Send a message to the pod!

    We begin today's episode detailing an uncanny ability to destroy water bottles and eye health, and get into the critical mistake it was to review old videos of our early social media days.  This episode isn't just about clumsy dance moves, though; it's also a candid look at the domestic comedy of our home office antics, complete with trust falls, and a reality check on how our online persona stacks up against our actual selves. And for those pondering the complexities of family life, we dive into heartfelt discussions on the anticipated joy and logistical ballet of welcoming a new member to the clan.

    But it's not all giggles and dance routines; we also explore the tender topics of grief and the challenges of infertility and the trying journey of beginning parenthood. Beyond that, we contemplate the art of balanced parenting, emphasizing the importance of ditching rigid screen-time rules in favor of fostering creativity and engagement. So, whether you're seeking a hearty laugh or sage advice, plug in, and let's share this ride together.

  • Cultivating Laughter and Learning in Life's Academic Garden

    Send a message to the pod!

    Ever tried to cram a semester's worth of knowledge into a single night, only to watch it vanish like mist? We've been there, and we're laughing through the pain and puzzlement. Join us as we fumble through cloud types, reflect on the literary escapades of boy wizards and post-apocalyptic tales, and muse on the ebb and flow of our self-confidence. Our conversation takes flight on the thermals of academia, swooping through the delicate balance of friendships and the personal growth that sometimes means letting go.

    We wrap up our eclectic chat with a back and forth on off-the-grid living, the millennial quest for the perfect Instagram life, and the real deal on succulent survival. We're dishing out green-thumb guidance and diving into the nitty-gritty of nurturing not just plants, but also our connections with friends facing life's crossroads. So tune in, subscribe, and journey with us as we chuckle, reflect, and grow together. Sending out our love—catch you on the airwaves!

  • Square Patties, Birthday Wishes, and Mastering Parenthood

    Send a message to the pod!

    Join Jo and myself as we navigate the world of square-shaped patties, the emotions of sports fandom, and the bittersweetness of watching little Roy blow out his first birthday candle (kind of).

    This episode isn't just about the munchies and memories, though. We get real about the tightrope walk of life, answering a listener's heartstring-tugging question about kindling romance in the face of a demanding new job, and discussing what not so life changing new hobbies we'd like to take on as adults. We're talking skateboards, guitars, and the fine line between eagerness and the practicality of not landing in a cast. We also discuss the art of keeping family bonds tight, the tricky dance of navigating mis-scheduled relationships, and the complicated nature of parent / grandparent dynamics.  
    So, whether you're juggling the roles of parent, partner, or personal security advocate, we've got insights galore. So grab your Frosty, dial in your loved ones, and let's overshare the hustle, heart, and hilarity of daily life.

  • Mental Health Breaks and New Leggings

    Send a message to the pod!

    We're back from a short hiatus with tales of therapy, the necessity of mental health days, and the potential for rebranding our beloved show. Your feedback has been our guiding star, steering us through discussions about preserving our show's essence while adding just the right amount of zest to keep things fresh and relatable. 

    From the highs and lows of parenting to the symbolism wrapped around our fingers, we traverse a variety of topics in your voicemails. Discover how needlepoint can be a screen-free haven and how long-distance relationships can flourish with "less is more" communication strategies. Plus, we wade through the sentiments attached to jewelry – is it the ring, or the trust it's meant to represent, that defines our relationships? So, snatch your earbuds and settle in for a session filled with laughter, reflection, and a touch of oversharing.

  • Home Office Hijinks and Hypothetical Questions

    Send a message to the pod!

    Who doesn't want to choose between a lifetime as Siri or Jar Jar Binks? And for those who've ever wished they could detect every lie or have the superpower of truth evasion, we're breaking down the moral quandaries of such hypotheticals.  We go back and forth through a series of "Would You Rather" questions so enjoy the back and forth of our differing opinions!

    But life isn't all fun, games, and bizarre body proportions. We get down to the nitty-gritty of disagreeing with loved ones while under the same roof, and how we navigate the minefields of family dynamics with grace—and occasionally, a bit of grit. Stick around for Greg's Reads of the Week as we confront our weekly anxieties head-on, from crime sprees to cutting-edge medical breakthroughs, and learn a new British term that might just become your new favorite way to vent during Word of the Week. So come for the laughs, stay for the wisdom, and maybe, just maybe, you'll leave with a few pearls of overshared insight.

    Send a message to the pod!

    Matt broke his own cardinal rule for dads so the latest episode of Oversharing with Overbys is going to be little different this week.  We start things off with a recap of the weekend and retelling of how we got here, and launch right into Word of the Week, Greg's Reads, and the usual back and forth. This episode is a real talk about the juggling act of modern parenting and the lifelines that friendships, both new and old, provide.

    We had quite a few voicemails and emails to catch up on, so join us as we navigate long distance friendships, the nuanced waters of baby fever, and the evolving responsibilities of parenthood. The episode is a heartfelt look at the identity shifts that come with having children, and how to keep a hold of your own in the process. We share some tried-and-true tips for fitting in your passions while being present for your kids. So, whether you're a parent, a friend of a parent, or just someone seeking a genuine connection, this episode has a little something for everyone.

    Back from break, we kick things off talking through Vegas trip plans, dance club preferences, and holiday highs and lows.  From eye color to parenting antics, this episode is all over the place but we have a blast getting things back on track.  We return with Greg's Reads of the Week (Month?) and actually have a double Word of the Week!  And when we get to your voicemails we address everything from rough patches in your twenties to our individual feelings on pickles.  So buckle up for an episode that goes everywhere and nowhere all at once!
