This week on Premeditated Opinions, Pamela and Josh unpack the chaos of modern life — from the battlefield that is the school carpool line to the heartbreaking reality of lockdown drills.

Pamela shares highlights from the Witness Success Conference in Louisville, including a wild session on laughter yoga (yes, fake-laughing until it becomes real). They swap stories about parenting meltdowns, cultural absurdities, and why laughter might be the most underrated coping mechanism we have.

Other highlights:

• Carpool drama: entitled parents, clueless merging, and near altercations with school security.
  
  
• Lockdown drills: how kids process them vs. how parents struggle with the weight of it all.
  
  
• Conference inspo: women in tech, powerful speakers, and laughter as medicine.
  
  
• Taylor Swift appreciation: her business brilliance, generosity, and yes — Pamela was an extra in a music video.
  
  
• Karaoke as world-saving strategy: what songs would actually save humanity?
  
  

If you’ve ever sat in a carpool line ready to lose your religion, wondered how to cope with the absurdity of school lockdown drills, or needed a reminder that humor still matters — this episode is for you.

Meet Josh & Pamela! Two people with entirely too much confidence, so we decided to put it all online. Lucky you.
