This episode truly has everything: listener feedback, a full-blown debate about the afterlife, and some of the worst Valentine’s gifts we’ve ever heard. We dive into the results of our recent listener survey and react in real time to what you want more (and less) of on the podcast. Apparently we “waffle”… but in a charming way? We’ll take it. We also talk about: Requests for more behind-the-scenes life stuffPop culture chat (but, like, loosely researched at best)Whether Bradley should have a cooking segment despite… not really cookingPlus...  🎬 The Movie That Caused a Marital Debate We watched Eternity starring Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller… and let’s just say Bradley has STRONG feelings about the main character’s romantic choices in the afterlife. We rate it, we argue about it, and we want YOU to watch it and tell us who’s right. And... 💘 Valentine’s Day: Romantic, Lazy, or Red Flag? You sent us your best and worst Valentine’s gifts, and we put them on trial. 🧇 Final Thoughts Yes, we waffled. Yes, we argued about fictional afterlife marriage choices. Yes, we judged your Valentine’s gifts. And honestly? We’d do it all again. 🎧 Watch Eternity and tell us: Was her choice romantic… or absolutely unhinged?

The world feels like A Lot™ right now… so this week we decided to be your emotional support scroll. We’re sharing a roundup of positive, hopeful, and straight-up weird headlines from the news — the kind of stories that make you smile, shake your head, or say, “Wait… WHAT?” Think feel-good wins, funny moments, and the kind of internet stories that remind us humanity is still kind of adorable sometimes. But of course… we also go wildly off track. Because: us. In this episode, we also get into: ✨ Matthew McConaughey’s… energy We attempt to unpack his undeniable something — is it confidence? Is it voice? Is it just pure Southern sorcery? 👶 The things we do for our partners… that they don’t even notice Sophia shares the very thoughtful (and very ignored) moment of saving Grayson’s cutest pajamas for Bradley’s bedtime shift… only for him to barely register them. We talk about how the things that feel meaningful to one person don’t always land the same way with the other — and why that actually matters. 🏃‍♂️ Bradley accidentally leaving the house in his BED SLIPPERS A frantic, late-to-the-GP moment leads to a very questionable footwear choice in public. Yes, we discuss. 📱 Is Bradley getting old?! Because he has started signing his text messages like emails. First name. Full stop. Possibly spiritual grandfather energy. As always, it’s part relationship deep dive, part chaos, part “how did we get here?” If you needed a break from heavy news and serious life stuff, this is your permission slip to just hang out with us for a bit 💛 Connect with Us: 👉 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradandsophia 👉 Submit future questions, topic suggestions, or respond to listener prompts: [email protected]

We’re brainstorming what’s next for Relatable — and we want your input.

This week on Relatable, we’re welcoming a very special guest: Bradley’s mom. We handed her a microphone, gave her permission to be honest, and asked the questions you’re probably not supposed to ask someone’s mother — from what Bradley was really like growing up, to how she felt about his relationships, marriage, and becoming a parent. We talk about childhood chaos, confidence, career dreams, and the moment it became clear that Sophia and Bradley were actually in this for the long haul. Then we shift into parenting and grandparenthood — what surprised her most, what she thinks we’re doing well, and what she wishes someone had told her when she first became a parent. 🎙️ In This Episode: What Bradley was like as a kid (and whether he’s changed)Childhood stories his mom definitely remembersFirst impressions, relationships, and marriageWhen she thought kids might (or might not) happenWatching your child become a parentWhat we’re doing well — and what we’ll probably figure out laterParenting advice from someone who’s lived itConnect with Us: 👉 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradandsophia 👉 Submit future questions, topic suggestions, or respond to listener prompts: [email protected]

This week on Relatable, we’re opening the inbox for a full Dear Roses advice episode — and things get messy fast. From accidentally lying about a homemade dinner (thanks to a very confident spouse), to canceling plans with a fake injury and then immediately getting caught walking around in public, we’re tackling the kind of situations that live rent-free in your brain at 2 a.m. We also get into the bigger stuff: how to bring things up without your partner getting defensive, what to do when your life looks great on paper but you’re exhausted all the time, and how to know when it’s time to move on from a job that’s “fine” but no longer fits. Plus, we talk modern dating guilt, airplane etiquette rage, and newborn sleep (or lack thereof). As always, we’re not experts — just two people with opinions, stories, and a lot of empathy. If you’ve ever thought “Is this a big deal or am I just overthinking?” — this episode is for you. 💌 Dear Roses Questions We Answered: I hosted a dinner party, ordered everything in, and my husband told everyone I cooked it. Do I correct the lie… or let it die?My partner gets defensive anytime I bring something up. How do I communicate without it turning into a fight?I canceled plans claiming I couldn’t walk… then got caught walking. Am I the asshole?My life looks great, but I’m exhausted and resent how “on” I always feel. Is this burnout or just adulthood?I’ve outgrown my job but don’t know what’s next. How do you leave something stable without a plan?I’m dating two people (everyone knows), but I still feel guilty. Is that normal?Someone let their kid listen to music without headphones on a plane. What is the correct response (legally and emotionally)?Newborn sleep struggles: what we’re doing, what’s working, and what we’re still figuring out.If you’ve ever lied a little, canceled plans dramatically, or wondered if everyone else has life more figured out than you — you’re not alone.

This week on Relatable with the Roses, we’re doing a very real Christmas recap — highs, lows, expectations, chaos, and all. It was our son’s first Christmas, which meant excitement, pressure, big expectations… and the humbling realization that he has absolutely no idea what’s going on. We went all in trying to make it magical, only to learn (once again) that parenting has a funny way of keeping you grounded. In this extended Good Week / Bad Week, we share what surprised us most about celebrating Christmas with a baby, the new traditions we accidentally discovered, and how different the holidays feel now that we’re parents. There were cinnamon rolls (lots of them), sweet moments, and — somehow — another poonami. Seriously… what are we doing wrong?!

It’s officially the holiday season, and we’re kicking things off the only way we know how — with honesty, chaos, and… another poonami story. 🙃😩 #whyus? In this episode, we start with Good Week / Bad Week, where we somehow once again find ourselves asking: why does this keep happening to us?! If you’re a parent (or have ever been around babies), you’ll probably feel seen. Then, we dive into a festive round of Naughty or Nice, where we give our very unfiltered opinions on holiday behavior, traditions, gifts, food, hosting, and everything in between. From fake Christmas trees (a surprisingly controversial topic) to holiday etiquette, nothing is off-limits, per usual.  It’s a light, funny, and very relatable holiday episode to kick off the holiday week — perfect to listen to on a walk, in the kitchen, or while hiding from your family for a few minutes.

This week is pure, unfiltered Rose household chaos — no guests, no structure, just Sophia and Bradley catching up on life and somehow spiraling into multiple stories you didn’t ask for (but will definitely enjoy). We cover:  🐶 The time Bradley lost Alfie in the woods. Yes, a true horror story. Yes, Alfie is okay. No, Sophia has not forgiven Bradley. ✈️ Our growing panic about flying to NYC with an infant. Will he cry the entire time? Will we cry the entire time? TBD. 😵‍💫 Sophia’s very bad day. Not dramatic, just extremely on brand. 🩳 Grayson’s hatred of wearing layers — just like his dad. Bradley even shares the story of the time he stripped naked in a grocery store because he was too hot… and we fear Grayson might follow in his footsteps.
