Note sull'episodio

Welcome back, you wonderful planned-ish people. If you’ve ever tried to make dinner while your husband is yelling at the TV and your toddler is sprinting around chanting “GO PACK GO”… welcome home. 😅

We chat on:

  • our painful recording fail (RIP to the lost episode thanks to an echo + two mics + zero headphones 🙃)
  • sharing what “dry-ish January” has actually done for our energy
  • debriefing Joe’s first-ever Traeger brisket (complete with the stall, the wrap, and the “we were hungry so we rushed the rest” moment).

Then we dive into what you requested: football + sports in our household

  • how we became a sports house (or more accurately… a “sports husband”)
  • why football hits different
  • how a win vs. loss shifts the vibe
  • what it’s like living with playoff-mode Joe.
  • also talk kids + sports, screen time during football season (we’re fine with it), and why game day = food… but the goal is great meals with minimal kitchen destruction.

And of course, we wrap with a heated Elite-ish 8: the most overrated foods (margs, Nutella, avocado toast, Eggs Benedict… we said what we said). Go vote on Instagram and help us break the season tie.

Plus: if you missed our cleaner-swaps convo, I put the whole “starter kit” in my blog + you can grab my Reset Sheet in that post to make the switch without going full 180.
