A bit of a long one but we had live commenters on this topic.

Hypocrisy: People the Queer and trans community stan while condeming JK Rowling
So in light of the release of Hogwarts Legacy and the audacity of some people to condemn everyone that bought the game and are enjoying playing it, Jeremy and I decide to speak on our views on the idea of buying the game, and in my case, why I bought it. But more importantly, we talk about how these same people bashing those of us that bought it are real performative with their outrage on this, but silent on other things.

Bad partners/fiances/stepmothers
This show had a more cohesive theme, these came from reddit as usual. We have a bad partner doing some selfish things, a fiance and a stepmother not liking or being jealous of children, and finally a mother with a gay child that made some bad choices and expecting said child to bail themselves out because they're an adult now
Grounding, Bigots, and Boundaries
Cheating Friends, Changing Babies, and Choosing A Parent
Some Things You Call A Kink Aren't
Technically this is a follow up to an episode Jeremy did on his podcast, Beyond Good Enough, discussing some things people try to pass as kinks that deserve to be shamed. This is a response to some people that didn't listen to his podcast complaining about kink shaming, further explaining that what he spoke about based on my suggestion wasn't actual kinks, but behaviors people slap the word kink onto to justify their perversions and abuse. See the link for his original show in case you need it
Babies, Weddings, In laws, and Exes
lets keep going down the reddit rabbit hole, and we're talking baby names being stolen, wedding venue choices, and new girlfriends meeting ex wives for lunch.
Predators
This time I'm responding to a topic request based on a video where two heterosexual men basically call all gay men predators and I think they need to acknowledge what a predator is and not label an entire group as problematic based on the actions of actual predators
Hair, Boundaries, and Parents
Weddings, Stepparents, step siblings
Continuing to venture down the AITA reddit forums and I kinda themed this one around weddings and issues occurring after a wedding. It's a fun one

Why Fans Moved Away from Wrestling
It just so happens I got provoked onto this topic from another discussion. This is referring to why fans moved away from wrestling after the attitude era on, the things that changed and things that are missing. This was recorded prior to recent changes in the programming in WWE
Continuing Down the AITA Threads
This edition has some weird mother in laws, weird weddings and a jealous girlfriend because why not mix it all together. Venturing down the reddit forums you find some interesting stuff
AITA Parenting Edition
Browsing some topics on Reddit, I found some interesting stories all around parenting, so I decided to read them here and give some feedback. With an occasional personal story to illustrate why I feel the way I feel.
Updates on Wrestling Reviews, Writing, Fostering, Future Podcast topics

Obi-wan Kenobi Review
In case you didn't know, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so I decided to review the latest show. I definitely had some strong thoughts
What Makes a Broken Home?
I'm joined by my friend Angee as we discuss the concept of a broken home. What constitutes a broken home? Just because one is a single parent, is the home broken? what if the reason for one parent being absent is death? what about those that wanted to be a parent and used a donor or just friends who had a baby and coparent but don't live together
Ups and Downs of Being an Author
Jeremy and Kia join me on this show as we talk over being a self published author
Fantasy Worlds
I wanted a lighter and fun topic, so I brought Kitt and Too-EZ back to discuss fantasy worlds. Which ones would we absolutely want to be dropped into, which would we absolutely refuse to be, and which would we take a gamble on? Leave me a message or a comment on social media letting me know if you agree or disagree with our choices, and what would your choices be?
Entitlement & Audacity
I felt some type of way about some things brought to my attention recently in the family, and I needed to speak on it. Jeremy returns as we speak on these entitlement issues with family members, especially when dealing with the trauma they caused. And at the end, some fuckboy stories as well to give something lighter to discuss.
LGBT Community Problems Highlighted in Social Media
Jeremy and I are back to talk about our community and some problems we've noticed not just from experience, but from watching play out on social media
