Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. Some weeks you show up polished and put-together… and some weeks, you show up disheveled. This is one of those weeks. In this episode of the Midwest Married Podcast, we’re embracing the messy hair, haven't-slept, emotionally-all-over-the-place kind of energy. We’re joined by Morgan from Two Hot Takes to share our own disheveled moments — and give our very honest, very real takes on Reddit stories from people who are also deep in their disheveled era. From hygiene confessions to life spirals and everything in between, it’s equal parts chaos and connection. Whether you're thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between, this one's for you. 👇 Let us know your most disheveled moment this week — no judgment, only solidarity.

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. It’s been a minute… okay, more like a few weeks. Between house buildilng, summer vacation, family wedding planning, and life throwing curveballs left and right, things have been a little chaotic. But the mics are back on, the drinks are poured, and we’re ready to break out of the slump. In this episode, we catch you up on all the behind-the-scenes madness, share a few “how did we get here?” moments, and finally get back to doing what we love — hanging out with you.

It feels good to be back — so grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s bust this slump together.

We’re lighting the fuse on 4th of July chaos—because nothing says “America” like boating accidents, pool cacti (yes, really), and relatives who think your RSVP is mandatory.

Whether you're dodging bottle rockets, trying to keep your pool cactus-free, or just praying Uncle Bob doesn’t bring up politics at the BBQ, we’ve got you covered.

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. We kicked off this episode with a throwback to middle school choir—warming up our voices like we were about to perform at a 7th grade talent show (spoiler: we weren’t). From there, it’s a wild ride through some of Reddit’s most chaotic and trending relationship stories. We’re talking: – Being naked in bed with your spouse and still getting turned down – The trip fund that mysteriously turned into a personal emergency fund – And the infamous “work husband”… getting a little too comfy with the family on a group trip Some boundaries were definitely crossed—and we’re here to unpack every awkward, hilarious, and eyebrow-raising moment. 🎤 Let’s warm up those vocal cords and get into it.

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. From Dome Home to Dream Home — this week on Midwest Married, we're sharing a personal chapter that’s been a year in the making. We walk you through how we bought a collapsing dome home (yes, really), tore it down, and began the wild adventure of building our dream house from the ground up. We cover everything from the chaos of breaking ground to the lessons learned one year later—and of course, we couldn’t resist digging into some Reddit stories about home-building nightmares and construction drama. And if you’ve ever helped family with a house project and instantly regretted it, the final story might hit a little too close to home.

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. From silent side-eyes to full-on betrayal, this week’s episode is all about Girl Code—what it is, how it’s broken, and why it matters. We get into the unwritten rules of loyalty, whether it’s backing your bestie, not dating her ex, or just supporting each other’s wins. But what happens when women go against the code? We spill personal stories, share listener write-ins, and tackle the darker side—like when women undercut other women out of jealousy. If you’ve ever felt the sting of a broken sisterhood, or questioned whether you should speak up, this one’s for you. Because at the end of the day, shouldn’t we all just be each other’s hype women?

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. This week on Midwest Married, it's all about roommates. We’ve all had a roommate who left dishes in the sink or cranked the thermostat a little too high — but what about the one who stole your vibrator? Or the one who tried to poison your snacks so you’d stop eating their food? Yeah… this episode isn’t your average roommate rant. From stealing furniture to next-level passive-aggressive behavior, we’re sharing the most ridiculous roommate stories we’ve ever heard — plus a few personal ones. Whether you had a college roommate who “borrowed” your stuff permanently or you’re currently living with someone who treats the fridge like a free-for-all, this one’s for you.

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. This week on Midwest Married, we get personal about the "Birds & the Bees" convo while reliving our own memories of the talk. We dive into some jaw-dropping Reddit stories that make puberty even more complicated than it already is. We’re talking moms who think manscaping is immoral, girlfriends who think period education between siblings is disturbing, and a hygiene-obsessed mom shaming her daughter for not being a "clean lady." And yes, we go there: hair or no hair down there? It's more than just personal—it's divisive. Buckle up, because this one gets hairy… literally.

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. Buckle up—our third episode of listener write-ins takes us everywhere. We kick things off with the excitement of moving out at 18... but make it spicy by adding a significant other to the mix. Nothing tests young love quite like sharing bills, chores, and passive-aggressive texts from your mom. Next, we take a serious turn as a listener asks if they should reconnect with a former role model who has since... well, unalived someone. It’s a tough one, and we try our best to walk the fine line between thoughtful advice and not spiraling into a true crime podcast. Finally, we dive into one of the internet’s most controversial questions: is it ever okay to propose at, or around, someone else’s wedding?  As always: awkward laughs, questionable advice, and zero regrets.

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. It’s birthday season over at Midwest Married—and with all the candles comes all the chaos. In this episode, we unwrap everything from cake catastrophes to over-the-top efforts to make someone feel special (and the ungrateful guests who still aren’t satisfied). We get into the pressure of trying not to disappoint Grandma, even when the only thing your wine-loving heart really wants to do is to wear a crown and drink mead. (looking at you, Ren Fest). Do you bend to family expectations, or do you fight for your right to party in chainmail?

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. The in-laws… oh yeah, we’re going there. This week, we’re diving into the beautiful disaster that is in-law dynamics — and we brought our buddy Joe Polecheck along for the ride. From family group chat drama to the art of setting boundaries without starting World War III, we’re saying the things most people only vent about in therapy. And yes, we read some absolutely unhinged Reddit stories that will make you feel way better about your own family. Because let’s be real — it’s all good until your in-laws says that thing, at that moment, and suddenly everyone’s pretending everything’s fine. 🎧 Grab a drink, hit play, and pray your MIL isn’t watching this episode.

Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. Buckle up, because this week, we’re talking near-death experiences—the kind that make you rethink all your life choices… or at least laugh about them later. 😅 It all started when Matt took a dive off a ladder (yes, really) and ended up with a concussion. Turns out, March is Ladder Safety Awareness Month—coincidence? We think not. 🤕🤣 But that’s just the tip of the near-death iceberg. We’re diving into wild personal stories, from close calls in car accidents to questionable college decisions (looking at you, gravity bongs), plus some insane Reddit tales that will make you double-check your seatbelt and maybe avoid sketchy ladders for a while. 💬 Got a near-death experience of your own? Drop it in the comments—we promise to gasp appropriately.
