This week’s episode starts with a shower epiphany and spirals—delightfully—from there. Adam and Julia broadcast live from the adjustable lifestyle (if you know, you know) and dive into everything from parenting burnout to spa date superiority. Julia opens up about the emotional toll of solo parenting and why she’s asking Adam to actually hold her accountable when she’s stuck in the mud. Adam, in turn, pitches in with the controversial take that the secret to parenting might just be… drugs.

Don’t worry—it’s (mostly) satire.

Expect heartfelt vulnerability, laugh-out-loud moments, a few too many hot tub references, and a surprise drop-in from the ghost of Howard Stern sign-offs. If you’ve ever been a tired parent, a wellness spa convert, or someone who dips when their partner dips—this one’s for you.

Topics include:

• Shower thoughts and emotional labor

• When parenting feels unsustainable

• Being high while parenting (but not like that)

• Crying in front of your kids

• Spa days > date nights

• The power of a no-phone home

• Rage-listening to Taking Back Sunday

• The ONE BONE playlist pick of the week

It’s vulnerable. It’s hilarious. It’s a little all over the place. Welcome back to Marriage Maintenance.
