About Listen, They're Fine
Listen, They're Fine is the brutally honest parenting podcast for anyone tired of perfect families on social media. Hosts Bubba and John are best friends and neighbors with wildly different approaches to raising kids. Bubba's the chaos parent - wine mom energy, creative solutions, and yes, his 4-year-old knows some colorful language. John's the engineer dad with color-coded schedules, researched gear recommendations, and theories about everything. Each week, they dive into the beautiful disaster of modern parenting - from navigating school politics to dealing with their own childhood trauma while trying not to mess up their kids. Expect heated debates about screen time, birthday party etiquette, and whether goldfish crackers count as a food group. This isn't gentle parenting advice from certified experts. This is two regular dads figuring it out in real time, fighting like siblings, and giving you permission to be imperfect. Episodes drop weekly and feature everything from laugh-until-you-cry parenting fails to surprisingly deep conversations about breaking generational cycles. Warning: Contains explicit language, discussions of mental health, and two grown men admitting they have no idea what they're doing.

Published 14 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] These have sat in closets. They have not gotten much play. All of a sudden, the past two weeks, this is the hottest item in our house. These boys will not get off these stupid things. They're riding them around the house while they're brushing their teeth. Oh, wait. Now I know what they are. Yes, yes, yes. You know what I'm talking about? Wyatt, can you please superimpose a hoverboard on the video for the audience? They're riding them everywhere. Well, my baseboards are all shot. The kids have run through all of them. His baseboards are shot. Think of the baseboards. I got my hair lip, my cleft palate, my flat feet, and my baseboards are shot. […]
