All aboard the chaos express! If you’ve got a ticket for this ride, you already know it. It’s the one where there’s never enough time in the day—kids’ schedules outpace yours, work demands keep piling up, and oh yeah, the laundry, dishes, mowing the lawn, and bills aren’t going to handle themselves. Let’s not forget staying connected with friends and family, even though you planned to be in bed by 9 pm…but it’s now 11 pm, and tomorrow starts before the sun does. Sound familiar?
We’re right there with you. Welcome to The Mr. & Mrs. Inglis Podcast, hosted by Shaen and Meghan Inglis—a weekly show where we dive into real and honest conversations about the wild ride of raising kids, growing careers, and managing family and friendships in the middle of life’s beautiful chaos. So grab your ticket and join us for a weekly dose of camaraderie, connection, and a reminder that you’re never in this alone.

Choo choo, all aboard the chaos train.
Choo choo, yeah.
(laughing) That was so lame, I am so sorry.
I'm gonna need to get my energy up.
Yeah, yeah.
Is your coffee making the first
appearance in an M&M?
Enjoy the journey, says the coffee mug.
Hey, you know, maybe we
all just take a moment
and do a nice big--
Straight inside, like
here we go again, Cy.
Exactly.
When your phone is
going ding, ding, ding,
and you're like, hi.
That opens Pandora's
box a little bit for you.
I'm showing up at the wrong
location at the wrong time
because--
Change the calendar.
Changing the calendar.
I love that.
Yeah.
Are we gonna completely ignore the fact?
Are we gonna
completely ignore the fact that,
huge.
Huge.
Got it, Megan's gonna be free again.
No, the rules of the game will change.
Man, when it rains it
pours and this is what--
Adult and difficult conversations.
This device is probably
the most dangerous thing
you could have.
Latchkey kids, we did
stupid stuff, no doubt.
Oh yeah, it led to a broken phone.
Exactly what I was gonna say.
Oh yay!
Bad choices memorialized forever.
Kids aren't ready for what
that phone exposes them to.
Right.
Well we're on, I mean
we're locked in now.
You guys don't even know
what's behind the curtain.
Right.
The dumbest thing we could
do is like throw a firecracker
at some kid.
Eggs were awesome.
Eggs were so cool.
Right on the back and we'd
go to piano lessons that way.
It is like the most
innocent leave it to beavers scene
I can picture in my head.
Learn the exact lesson that we learned
on their older child.
Gotcha.
And just like, are we failing?
Are we just completely failing?
Hey, whoa, another Domino Falls.
And another, and another.
I'm not asking for good news.
I'm not asking to win the lottery.
I'm not even asking for sunshine.
I don't want to say I have bad luck,
but I couldn't even buy a lottery ticket.
You're cute.
Stinking kidding me.
The door slammed, I mean so many doors
are slamming right now.
Yeah, yeah.
We're living our lives right now.
Today's the only day we have.
Yeah, wanting to lose myself in the music
that I was listening to or singing or.
Oh, I was.
Playing G.I. Joe,
playing with my transformers,
drawing, listening to music.
Let me remove myself from the chaos
and have a moment of peace.
Yeah.
15 year old Megan.
Well, feeling like the
bubbles was a little stressful.
Did you make sure they were perfect too?
Like, I would erase it if I went out.
I did, but the harder ones were the ones
that were the rectangles.
Yes, much better rectangles.
At least I have scantrons.
And it was 20 years ago yesterday
that we officially met.
Yep, that's exciting.
You're just super cool.
It's neat.
Where did 20 years go?
I'm still 25, like what
in the world happened?
I ain't finally moved yet.
Don't put that on me, Ricky Bobby.
Good night, have a tea.
We're really finishing
each other's sentences today.
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh my gosh, well.
You know, that's just life.
That's life aboard the
Chaos Express, that's real.
It is, mm-hmm.
If anybody offers you
free candy, get in the van.
