We have all heard that expression before, “this is my line in the sand’. Yet, we never really think about how that metaphor can be used in every facet of everyday life. It can be used to define your boundaries with your significant other; it can be used to establish boundaries with your children; it can be used to establish your boundaries with work. Tonight, we’re going to discuss what lines we create within our families and what we do to reinforce those boundaries.

After an exchange of some in-depth conversation and questions, the show progresses to their "Shit-uations". Tonight's Shit-uations has Josh reading blurbs from FML.com.

Resolutions. Changes. Goals, Tired of the same ol’ same ol’. We’ve all said we want change, or need change, but most of us don’t do the important things to enable that change. In almost every situation, you’re able to enact that change by being the change but when you don’t empower that change by being the change, then nothing changes. Tonight, we’re going to talk about when nothing changes, if nothing changes.

With the holidays behind us, we can sit back and reflect on those moments and even reminisce on older memories. It can be easily agreed that all of those memories, for most people, involve the element of presence. No, not the gift present but the mindset and physical action of being present. Tonight, we’re going to focus on our own presence for our children, removing ourselves by distractions and how it can have rippling impacts.

Be it a boomer or be it a Gen Alpha, we all have almost heard the term “Okay, Boomer” used to dismiss or mock an elder typically in response to some unwanted advice or comment that wasn’t needed. For instance, if an elder says “Millennials expect life to be so easy for them”, it would be most likely met with an “okay, boomer” remark. Tonight, we’re going to delve into the generational differences and what may be the catalyst for those differences, as well as our own experiences and run-ins with “okay, boomers”.
