Expect laughter, debate, and a little chaos in every episode. With internet stories, parenting fails, random rabbit holes, and thoughtful “what ifs,” Side by Side-Eye keeps you leaning in for more.
Are millennial men really stepping up at home, or are traditional roles still holding strong? In this episode of Side By Side Eye, Mandy and Eric explore what the data actually says about housework, parenting, and modern relationships. They look at research on changing household dynamics, the rise of more involved millennial dads, and why women still tend to do more domestic labor overall. Along the way, they compare the stats to their own household, debate everyday chore dynamics, and invite listeners to reflect on what “fair” looks like in their own home.

27. Love, Lust, & Laundry
In this episode, we’re sharing our story. The real one. From how we met and what first pulled us toward each other, to the dating years, the engagement, marriage, and now life with kids.
How we started means a lot to us, so we wanted to let you in on it. We talk about those early days, the chemistry, the awkward moments, the funny stories, and the things that made us realize this was it. We walk through getting engaged, becoming husband and wife, and how everything shifted once we stepped into parenthood.
It’s not just the highlight reel. We talk about how love changes over time, how attraction grows deeper, and how sometimes romance looks like folding laundry together at the end of a long day.
This episode is personal, a little nostalgic, and very us. Love, lust, and laundry. The whole journey.
