This is a podcast for those of us with toxic or emotionally immature parents. We might not have a bunch of credentials next to our names, but we do have PhDs from the Hard Knocks University. Basically, we want this to be a validating space for adult children of parents who had no business having children.
On this episode, the hosts go further in depth about Collin Gosselin from “Jon & Kate Plus 8” and his damning allegations about his mother, Kate. Collin discusses being committed to a mental health facility, and how he engineered a way to get out. It might have something to do with underpants.
Eventually, he pursues his dream of joining the military, but his history of mental illnesses, all claimed by his estranged mother Kate, prevents it from going into fruition. Thus, Collin goes on a quest to dispel these alleged illnesses. He comes bearing receipts.
After a distressing moment, a childhood Lisa is forced to sleep with the family dog. Ken thinks reality shows are heavily-stage and lack actual realism. All this and more on this intriguing 30th episode!

Collin Gosselin Vs. Kate the Original Karen
In his new memoir, Collin Gosselin, one of the children of the hit TLC reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8”, details his childhood in front of the cameras. What it didn’t capture was his heinous treatment at the hands of his vindicative mother, Kate, who lived a façade of being the epitome of a superhero parent.
Collin alleges being the target of abuse and isolation due to his unwillingness to be an active participant in the filming process. There are scenes of being zip-tied and locked in a dungeon-like basement. What seemed like a television show featuring a wholesome family, seemed more like psychological horror to the scapegoat son.
With Collin finally being able to bring his experience into words onto a page, will Kate finally get her comeuppance?

Don't Invite Crazies to Your Wedding
What is more exhausting? Trying to reason with a crazy person? Or explaining to your relatives that the crazy person cannot be reasoned with?
On this episode, the hosts discuss cost-effective wedding ceremonies, which may or may not be located at a local strip mall. Ken considers hiring a fake family in lieu of inviting his actual one for his upcoming wedding, fearing his narcissist father might resort to shenanigans to add spicy drama to an otherwise tame event.
Lisa attempts to overcome her massive pollen allergies amid an autumn heatwave. Also, she shares her opinions about some destination resorts being illogically expensive, and Las Vegas not being as empty as influencers and content creators claim the city to be.
