This Is Why We Can't Have A Podcast!

Welcome back to another episode where Jen and Ashten try to have structured adult conversation and instead derail into twelve topics, three emotional spirals, and one government scandal. 🎙️💥

We start with time management and somehow end up discussing:
    •    AI judging us like it pays our bills.
    •    Music therapy aka crying in the car like the main character.
    •    The CIA spending MILLIONS trying to turn HOUSE CATS into SECRET AGENTS (someone approved that???).
    •    TikTok rabbit holes that begin with crockpot recipes and end with underground Costco bunkers.
    •    Parenting in 2025 where we are basically the office managers of tiny unhinged roommates.

And THEN we ask the question that no one prepared for but everyone needs answered:

Why is there no “WIDOW” box on paperwork???

Like, I didn’t forget.
I didn’t misplace him like a library book.
Stop making me choose between single and married. Make the widow box, cowards. 🪦🖊️

Also, we drag stick figure family car decals because why are we broadcasting household headcounts? Absolutely not.

If you’re tired, confused, highly caffeinated, and emotionally held together by podcast humor and iced coffee—you belong here. 🤝

Grab your headphones, your emotional support snack, and your unresolved emotions.
It’s time. 🎧💅
