This week on the Wife Approved Podcast, Shane and Caroline are back with Prime Day stress, Apple WWDC reactions, and a very honest debate about whether AI belongs anywhere near their home cameras.
They also talk about an Austin meetup, why some people love shopping on Amazon and Caroline absolutely does not, and the “wife approval factor” in buying new smart home gadgets.
Then things take a turn into real marriage territory: PMS, sleep talking, breathing too loud, Shane being “a big baby,” Caroline crying over animals on TV, and the possibility of digging up their old “things we love about each other” lists from when they were young and cringey.
Marriage, parenting, tech, smart home stuff, hormones, hamburgers, and humidity. You know, normal stuff.
