A single phone call about a city burn ban spirals into threats—and becomes our jumping-off point to ask a harder question: why are tiny frictions turning into full-blown fights? We trace the emotional arc from everyday annoyances to public blowups, weaving in a tense on-road encounter, a chaotic midday scene, and the nerves of stepping into a new leadership role. What emerges is a clear pattern: social media’s echo chambers, economic pressure, and political theater have rewired how we handle conflict, making patience feel rare and empathy optional.

We don’t stop at diagnosis. We pull apart the mechanics of online outrage—the highlight reels, the instant pile-ons, the way platforms reward dunking over dialogue—and map them to the awkwardness many of us feel face-to-face after years of isolation. We talk about free speech with grown-up nuance: protect robust expression, draw a hard line at threats, and normalize course corrections without public shaming. If leaders model contempt, everyday interactions copy that tone. So we argue for something braver: choosing grace in small, daily ways that actually lower the temperature.

You’ll also hear our rapid-fire relationship segment: hidden “emergency” money and trust, the gift-giving loop that misses the mark, and the houseguest situation that needed a hotel. Through it all, we offer practical steps anyone can use right now—kindness as default, non-judgment long enough to hear context, awareness of your own tells, tech boundaries that blunt the outrage cycle, and a bias for experiences over performative posts. None of this fixes the internet or politics—but it restores personal agency and rebuilds local trust, inch by inch.

If this resonates, tap follow, share with a friend who needs a calmer feed, and leave a review with one habit that helps you keep your cool. Your small change might spark someone else’s.

What happens when a football quiz collides with real life? We start with a fast, funny A‑to‑Z of gridiron terms, crown an unexpected champ, and argue our way through numbers everyone thinks they know—timeouts, first downs, quarters, longest kicks—until the room erupts over a final fumble call. It’s the kind of playful rivalry that makes learning football feel easy, even if you’ve only ever rooted for the yellow line on TV.

Then we pivot hard into the good stuff: raw, honest advice about intimacy and trust. One listener asks why her partner keeps going solo in bed despite a very active sex life; we talk consent, privacy, and how to turn awkward discovery into connection without shame. Another letter unpacks a vanishing text from a too-pretty stranger right before a new baby arrives. We walk through what counts as spam versus suspicion, how disappearing messages work, and the practical checks—phone bills, patterns, tone—that help you respond without blowing up your life. We even tackle the “he took cash from my purse” dilemma and sketch out simple systems that protect both respect and the budget.

It’s messy, warm, and very human—live-stream hiccups, heat-induced grumps, and even a rogue eyelash spider can’t derail the rhythm of friends who know how to spar and still show up. If you like your podcasts with sports talk you can actually use, relationship guidance that’s straight but kind, and the chemistry of a blended family that refuses to fake it, you’ll be right at home.

A joke-heavy cold open collides with a hard truth: a sixth grader mentions a gun, and suddenly the room is debating what safety really means. We bring Brittany, a second-grade teacher, into the studio with Amanda, a daycare director, to break down how schools actually keep kids safe—locked doors, ID scans, visitor controls, and age-appropriate drills led by counselors that teach little kids to act without panic. Then we dig into the messy middle: when do you notify parents, right away or after facts are sorted? How do you avoid chaos at the doors while keeping trust intact? And what happens when teachers (even unintentionally) downplay a threat and kids learn to shrug it off?

From metal detectors to SROs to the idea of armed guards, we question what truly deters harm versus what just looks tough. We examine the logistics that few consider—bus loops, car lines, multiple entrances—and why policy without staffing creates new risks. The most heated moments center on consequences: permanent expulsion for weapons and credible threats versus suspension with mandated counseling and a structured path back. Along the way, parental responsibility and safe firearm storage take center stage, along with a candid look at behavior trends, fragmented home lives, and the limits placed on teachers around discipline and restraint.

This conversation is raw, practical, and grounded in real classrooms and front desks. If you’re a parent, educator, or community member who cares about school safety, you’ll leave with clear takeaways: treat the first warning like the only one you’ll get, build a culture that makes reporting normal, and pair strong procedures with human clarity. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to keep the conversation moving—and tell us: would you notify parents immediately, or wait until the facts are in?

Nothing tests a relationship quite like competition, and when that competition involves an ex-wife and current wife facing off in trivia, you know you're in for entertainment gold.

This episode delivers a high-energy battle of wits as Denny moderates a trivia showdown between Amanda and Jams, with questions ranging from literature classics to planetary science. The competition quickly heats up with Amanda taking an early lead on questions about Romeo and Juliet and George Washington, while Jams fights back with her knowledge of avocados and Greek mythology. What seems like simple trivia evolves into passionate debates over which planet is truly "the blue planet" and whether Old McDonald and Bingo are from the same nursery rhyme.

Between competitive jabs and playful insults, we get glimpses into their personal lives. Jams shares updates about her homesteading adventures with nine chickens consistently laying eggs and her herb garden, while Amanda discusses the challenges of adjusting to her new job's early morning schedule. These moments of genuine connection balance perfectly with the competitive energy that drives the episode.

The show takes a more serious turn during our relationship advice segment, where we offer unfiltered perspectives on complex situations involving infidelity, caretaking responsibilities during injury, and suspicious online behavior. Our approach is direct and honest – sometimes brutally so – because sugar-coating relationship advice rarely helps anyone.

We wrap things up with our signature "One Thing I Love, One Thing I Hate" segment, sharing personal reflections that range from appreciating our children to lamenting the increasingly divisive nature of public discourse in our society.

Ready to find out which wife emerges victorious in this ultimate trivia battle? Listen now, and don't forget to follow us across all social platforms @TGCSOD or visit our website at https://thankgodcancersavedourdivorce.com for more episodes featuring this uniquely blended family dynamic.

The trio is back! After a much-needed summer hiatus, Denny, Amanda (the wife), and Jams (the ex-wife) reunite with surprising news - their download numbers actually increased during their absence. But the real drama unfolds as they dive into the explosive fight between Denny and Jams that occurred during their break.

What begins as casual catching-up quickly transforms into a fascinating exploration of how we apologize - or more accurately, how we fail at apologizing. Using Google's five elements of an effective apology as a framework, the hosts hilariously dissect their own shortcomings when it comes to admitting fault. Denny struggles with naming specific offenses and tends toward conditional apologies. Jams freely admits she refuses to acknowledge wrongdoing when apologizing to her fiance'. Amanda, perhaps the most emotionally intelligent of the three, watches the chaos unfold with knowing eyes.

The conversation reveals universal truths about human relationships - how we experience the same events differently, our resistance to taking full responsibility, and the healing power of a genuine "I'm sorry." Between fits of laughter and moments of surprising vulnerability, the hosts demonstrate why their chemistry has kept listeners coming back for six years and nearly 300 episodes.

The episode shifts into their signature "Relationship Advice with Ams and Jams" segment, where they tackle questions about open marriages, anniversary activities, and balancing gaming with quality time. They also address Brayden's absence from the podcast, leaving the door open for his potential return.

Listen in for a masterclass in relationship dynamics that's equal parts hilarious and insightful. And remember - as they remind us - sometimes the hardest words to say are "I was wrong."

Parenthood never fails to surprise us with moments that leave us laughing, cringing, or scratching our heads in bewilderment. Fresh from a summer hiatus, our hosts from 2021 dive deep into the messy, beautiful reality of raising children.

The conversation kicks off with a collection of statements parents never imagined would leave their mouths—from "We don't put stuff in our butt. It's not a pocket" to "Stop drinking your bath water." These outrageous yet relatable confessions spark hilarious personal anecdotes about bathroom disasters, pet interactions gone wrong, and the strange things kids do that leave parents simultaneously horrified and amused.

But beneath the laughter lies thoughtful exploration of what makes successful parenting. Our hosts tackle ten provocative questions that challenge conventional wisdom: Should we give children what's good or what's best? Do we measure our success by our relationship quality or by how well we control behavior? The resulting discussion reveals profound insights about nurturing resilient, confident children while maintaining our sanity.

One particularly heated debate emerges around forcing commitment versus allowing exploration. When should parents insist children stick with activities they've started? When is it appropriate to let them quit? The conversation highlights different parenting approaches while acknowledging there's rarely one perfect answer.

Perhaps most powerfully, the hosts reflect on the phrases that shape children's inner voices—"I'm proud of you," "I believe in you," "I'm sorry"—and how consistent positive reinforcement builds strong foundations for life. Through candid admissions of their own parenting triumphs and failures, they remind us that perfection isn't the goal; consistent effort and genuine love are what matter most.

Whether you're knee-deep in toddler tantrums, navigating the complexities of school-age development, or simply curious about the wild ride of parenthood, this episode offers equal parts entertainment and wisdom. Join us for laughs, insights, and the comforting reminder that we're all figuring this out together.

Let's listen back to another "You Had Questions" episode as we march towards firing the ole podcast back up! Rolling back to 2020 for this one with Whitney Frost!

What happens when a scratched eyeball, online trolls, and unexpected confessions collide in one unforgettable podcast episode? Find out as our hosts navigate life's messier moments with candor and surprising humor.

Whitney Frost joins via Zoom with a freshly scratched cornea (courtesy of her husband's attempt to remove her contact lens), yet still manages to deliver powerful insights about parenting children with special needs. In a moving segment, she confronts internet trolls who suggest disabled children are "burdens," delivering an emotional response that resonates with parents everywhere: "I cry every day not because my kids are in pain. I cry because I'm going to lose them."

The conversation takes fascinating turns as the group explores everything from ASMR (apparently Whitney's voice can give people "head orgasms") to their genuine parenting mishaps. Amanda confesses to accidentally knocking out her son's loose tooth while disciplining him, while Whitney shares her horror when her daughter suggested she might "beat her with a brick" for misbehavior.

Through listener questions, the hosts reveal their perspectives on marriage, friendship, political divisions, and even which of their children is their favorite (spoiler: some jokingly chose the family dog). Despite Jamie being sick and Whitney managing with one functioning eye, their chemistry shines through with authentic banter that feels like eavesdropping on friends in your living room.

This episode perfectly captures why this podcast resonates—it's the rare space where parenting struggles, relationship dynamics, and life's unexpected challenges are discussed with equal parts vulnerability and laughter. Whether you're dealing with special needs parenting, blended families, or just trying to navigate adulthood without losing your mind, you'll find something to connect with here.

This week we look way way back to one of the very FIRST episodes we ever recorded....nearly SIX years ago!

We will be back LIVE and in living color on 6/23!

Life after divorce doesn't have to be a battleground. In this candid Q&A episode, Denny, his ex-wife Jamie, and his current partner Amanda pull back the curtain on their unconventional relationship, answering the burning questions listeners have about how they've created a functional, even friendly, blended family dynamic.

The trio tackles everything from managing jealousy between ex and current partners to handling discipline across households, setting healthy boundaries, and navigating the complexities of raising children between two homes. With refreshing honesty, they share personal stories about their journey—from Jamie's initial "rules" for their co-parenting relationship to how Amanda found her place in the family structure.

What makes this conversation particularly compelling is the genuine friendship that's developed between Jamie and Amanda, defying the cultural expectation that an ex-spouse and new partner must be enemies. They candidly discuss spending time together without Denny, supporting each other through challenges, and finding common ground despite their different personalities.

While their daughter's cancer diagnosis initially brought them together (hence the podcast name), they offer practical advice for families wanting to create healthier post-divorce relationships without requiring tragedy as a catalyst. As Denny notes, "We're doing this so if you have these questions, you know that it can be fixed... Our story is not typical, but we want to give people the impression it can be done."

Whether you're navigating a recent divorce, struggling with co-parenting challenges, or simply curious about how to create more harmony in your blended family, this episode offers both inspiration and practical wisdom from three people who've turned what could have been a bitter situation into something unexpectedly beautiful.
