Podcasting is hard—it's especially hard with kids around. We parent, discuss life, social topics, and the world around us—all while trying to keep our 3 kids busy, which never happens.

Rage Against the Machine (While Making Breakfast)
In this long-overdue episode of Parenting vs. Podcast, Lorenzo and Lindsey pick up where they left off — and they have a lot to say. From the ICE killings in Minneapolis to the Epstein files fallout, the couple dives headfirst into the political chaos gripping the country right now. They talk about civic responsibility, why "I'm not political" is no longer an excuse, and the wave of feminist rage hitting millennial and Gen X women. But it's not all heavy — they also catch up on life: new jobs, coding projects, a real estate license, a passport finally in hand, and the small victories of ditching the Apple Watch for a Casio. A raw, honest, and unfiltered check-in from two parents trying to make sense of the world while keeping their household running.
About Us
*beep* You've got mail!
HEY FRIENDS! We're Lorenzo & Lindsey—one coffee-powered couple from New Mexico wrangling three turbo-charged kiddos and somehow still finding time to press "record."
Expect late-night ramblings, semi-deep thoughts, and the occasional laser-sound effect 🎶 Like the early internet, our show loads fast, breaks often, and is always under construction.

Excite
MTV
We grew up on AOL chat rooms, discovered indie bands on MySpace, and spam-clicked purple links on Yahoo! & Excite. Now we're streaming to the multiverse so you don't need a dial-up tone in your headphones.
- Debating which cereal is S-tier
- Hunting thrift-store treasures
- Yelling "MTV ROCKS!" like it's 2002
- Re-watching Homestar Runner clips (Trogdor 4 ever)

Runners Nipple
We've got to do this more often. It was fun catching up on the podcast. Well, we're married. So we spend a lot of time together. But this episode felt good.
We've got a new setup, too! Using a Rode mic I picked up. Running it straight through some software on the ol computer.
I hope you enjoyed the podcast. :)

AI this, AI that. I love tech and I'm tired of hearing about AI. I guess it's part of our lives now. We talk about some things. Mothers Day. AI. Deepfakes.

Just Need Some Buffer Time
In this episode we jump in discussing the book Lindsey is working on. (Lorenzo seems a little butthurt that she hasn’t asked him to read it.)
But, for real. We all need a little downtime. Right? Is it childish to play video games at 40? Probably. Is it selfish to prioritize what’s on your phone over your kids? I don’t know. Does our brain need a bit of downtime in this crazy life? Absolutely.
We hope you have a healthy escape. We’re leaning, too.

Keefe Chambers is a Saint!
You heard me. This guy steals the show in my opinion. If you haven't seen the righteous gemstones on HBO yet, ya gotta check it out.
In this episode we talk "what we're listening to" --which turned in to also what we're watching.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

Creativity and stuf
Creativity... What does it mean to be creative? I asked the large language model and this is what she said. that are original and meaningful. It involves the process of combining existing knowledge, skills, and experiences in novel and imaginative ways to produce something unique and innovative. Being creative means having the capacity to think divergently, break away from conventional patterns, and approach problems or tasks from fresh perspectives.
AI chatbots aren't creative yet. But humans are. Humans are great and we wanted to talk about that. Maybe we ran our mouths too much in this one? I mean, what's new, right? We're always running our mouths. I think the difference here is I had a chance to edit it out and I still didn't. Jokes on me.
Will the bots ever possess creativity?
Here's what an AI bot imagined an AI bot would look like if it had a physical body.

This is a journey. Try and stick with us for this hour and a half recording and if you do, you've earned what is coming to you. Respect. Pure respect.
That didn't make any sense. I wish I would have asked ChatGPT to write this. But seriously, who reads these anyway? Not me.
Our talk on ADHD. Enjoy.
Purveyor of Street Justice
Okay, we're pretty bad at this whole keeping up with stuff. This podcast was recorded on October 29, 2022. Hopefully we didn't say anything bad in this recording. Who am I kidding? We probably did. Enjoy!

Hun, Where Are My Birks?!
Where are Lindsey's Birkenstocks? Also, where's are dang American Dream? We don't know the answer to any of these questions. But I do have a separate completely unrelated question: Why do rappers sometimes make those little bird noises in the background of their songs?

In The Can
This episode has been "in the can" of some time. We recorded it on 4/3/22 but I just got around to editing it today. Also, what the heck is "in the can" anyway? I guess it's just radio or recording lingo.
Just kidding. In this one I'm not sure what we talked about. I'm sure it was super interesting and engaging. I hope you enjoy!

Bird Nerding
Bird nerding. That's what we called this episode. I think we briefly talked about birds in our discussion? Birds aren't the only thing we discussed. We went into the nitty-gritty. Talked about our faith a bit. Got interrupted by kids a few times. It was a good time, maybe. We hope you enjoy.

Becoming Irrelevant
Okay, so the last two years seems to have passed by in like three months. It feels like life is accelerating faster than a Tesla S Plaid, and we're left in the dust with our iPods and Burt's Tiki Lounge. In this episode we talked about what it feels like to be behind in technology, in fashion. We're not really that young anymore, and that can feel weird sometimes.
We hope you enjoy this episode. It's been quite the year for us.

It's been a little while. Some major life changes ongoing, forgive us.
We hope you're doing well! In this one we're probably a little too honest about what's on our minds, and how we feel about the life changes that are going on around us. Enjoy!
