Stay ConnectedOur house is a mess — come on in!
This now-complete podcast features Amber and Ben — married, mildly overwhelmed, and hilariously honest — as they roast their own parenting fails, marriage misadventures, and behind-the-scenes influencer life.
No new episodes are dropping, but the full archive is full of chaos, laughs, and the kind of relatable moments that make you feel like you’re hanging with friends. Binge now — because real life is rarely picture-perfect, and that’s what makes it great.

What’s that you smell, Tracker? African fantasy, map reading, men in dresses and so much more. We can’t wait to talk about nuclear families, hyper-masculinity, and all of Ben’s abandoned toys as we explore Parts 1 and 2 of “Black Leopard, Red Wolf,” by Marlon James.

In a world where we have access to revered ruins, and a camera phone in every pocket, Sankofa asks the question “ what remains sacred?” We thank Halie Gerima for this powerful, self-made film, and we stan Ava Duvernay for getting Netflix on board, so that modern day audiences may experience the merger between the past and present.

Genre snobs, Inclusivity at Comic Book Cons and the myth that is Hot Comedians. Ben and Amber are running on fumes this episode, so prepare to laugh, and stick around for all the end-of-episode-funnies, and always remember “it’s the soul that needs the surgery.”
