    In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Plate & Ponder: Empty-Nesting with Jen & Chris Fenton, the empty nest gets flipped upside down when the college kids come home for a visit. Jen and Chris share the wild whiplash of going from peaceful empty-nesting to full-house chaos — dirty rooms, mountains of laundry, late curfews, a barking dog, and a constant stream of friends coming through the door.

    Amid the beautiful mess, they celebrate the pure joy and deep love of a full house and having their family back under one roof. The conversation also turns to the importance of Mother’s Day, the inspiring story of its founder Anna Jarvis, and the staggering $38 billion Americans spend honoring moms each year. Plus, they dive into the excitement of the hockey playoffs and swap stories about those notoriously gross college apartments.

    Funny, honest, and overflowing with heart — this episode is a must-listen for every parent navigating the rollercoaster of kids coming home.

  • Randomness & Full Nest Frenzy: Packing Wars, Salt-Free Hell & Britney Over Trump (We Still at War?)
    May 1 2026

    And tonight, we typed in to Grok to see what AI thinks of the episode... And, you know what, it gave a pretty darn good summary of how random and fun this episode was:

    "This title nails the whole episode vibe in one punchy, curiosity-sparking line: the end of empty-nesting summer chaos, the Jen-vs-Chris packing showdown (snowflakes vs. survival skills), Chris’s brutal no-salt detox meltdown, the head-scratching national news priorities (weather and Britney over Trump and Iran), and that perfect 80s music tangent about why we all secretly miss those teenage-lust anthems—even if they kill the symbolism deep-dive. It’s fun, conversational, a little cheeky, and screams “hit play” without spoiling the laughs. "

    Please follow, download, and enjoy!

  • "Midnight Train to Simpler Times: Keep Believing, Craving the 80's, & No More Assassination Attempts!"
    Apr 27 2026

    Why the heck is EVERYONE obsessed with the 80s & 90s right now?

    In this raw, heartfelt episode of Plate & Ponder: Empty-Nesting with Jen & Chris Fenton, we crack open ONE single verse from Journey’s legendary “Don’t Stop Believin’” — “Just a small-town girl, livin’ in a lonely world… She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere / Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit…” — and it unlocks EVERYTHING about why analog life felt so free, hopeful, and simple compared to today’s digital chaos.

    Then we go heavy: the third assassination attempt on Trump last night. We don’t shy away — we ask the tough questions: Why is this happening in America? How do we actually prevent the next one?

    But it’s not all serious. Jen puts Chris in the hot seat with ultra-specific questions to test how well he REALLY knows her after all these years (the answers are equal parts hilarious and adorable). We laugh, banter, roast the latest news, and remind you why empty-nesting together is still the best adventure.

    If you’re tired of the noise, craving real connection, and secretly wishing you could hop on that midnight train back to simpler times… this episode is for YOU.

    Hit play (follow, download, enjoy, & review). Feel the nostalgia. Remember why we still believe.
