Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Everyday Life, Motherhood & Home Gadgets

Sushi Making, Laundry Obsession & School Field Trips

• Lindsie discusses her latest Amazon purchase—a sushi making kit—to save money and give her son Jackson homemade lunchbox sushi (03:00).
  • “If somebody on Tick Tock can do it, I can do it. So my happy ass went straight to Amazon…” – Lindsie (02:50)
• The hosts compare sushi preferences and recount food poisoning stories.
• Lindsie admits to washing household items obsessively—sometimes even if they've just been cleaned. This leads to a decision to add a second washer & dryer to her home, with her partner Will doing the research.
  • "[If] it's left out, you're washing it." – Co-host (06:46)

2. Blended Families & Co-Parenting After Divorce

Joint Parties, Co-Hosting, and Navigating Traditions

• Lindsie and Will are jointly hosting Jackson's graduation party, choosing a taco bar/nacho bar theme from Moe's catering for ease and minimal kitchen stress.
• They reflect on co-hosting events as divorced parents, and how their approach of open cooperation isn't the norm.
  • “So many people…feel like it's weird that we do all of that stuff together. And it doesn't feel weird to me at all.” – Lindsie (12:44)

  • “The more that I am around people in divorce situations, that is absolutely not the norm…there will be a fight.” – Lindsie (15:13)

3. Gift-Giving Etiquette: Appliances and Meaningful Gifts

• Debate over whether gifting someone an appliance (e.g., washer/dryer or vacuum) is an appropriate present or just a shared utility.
  • “If someone asks you for something...just get them the damn gift.” – Co-host (17:14)
• Lindsie tells a story of her ex-husband buying her a bedroom set (after Craigslist movers destroyed her old one), gifting it for Christmas—then taking it during the divorce (22:33).
  • “He bought me that for Christmas and then he took it in the divorce.” – Lindsie (23:09)

4. TikTok Rumors & Misinformation: The Serial Killer on Indeed

Investigating Atlanta Job Interview Disappearances

• The hosts address viral TikToks about a supposed serial killer allegedly luring people to their deaths via Indeed job interviews in Atlanta.
• After checking Snopes and the news, they conclude it’s a hoax or at least massively exaggerated.
  • “It was also unclear what the job the applicants were allegedly interviewing for…” – Lindsie (26:52)
• They discuss the harm of misinformation and how social media fuels panic.
  • “So then everyone's just spreading the misinformation, which also sucks.” – Co-host (27:21)

5. Other Viral Crime Stories and Hoaxes

Jeffrey Dahmer in Missouri & Mass Graves

• Another TikTok claims police in Missouri found 18+ bodies in someone’s yard; news reports confirm only that a search for a missing person happened, with no mass grave.

• Both hosts stress the need for responsible social media sharing.

6. Current Events: Hospital Tumor Cluster in Massachusetts

  • “You cannot convince me that it has nothing to do with the work environment…” – Co-host (36:58)

7. Heartbreaking Headline: Father Acquitted After Running Over Son with Tractor

• The hosts question the verdict and highlight the risks of neglect and machinery around young kids.

8. Personal Updates & Mindless TV

• Discussion of comfort TV: “Love on the Spectrum” is Lindsie’s new favorite (“most precious, easy watch”—34:33), while her co-host finds comfort in rewatching old favorites like “Gilmore Girls” or “SVU” to decompress.

9. Mental Health & the ‘Hustle’

• The episode closes on advice about prioritizing mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, cautioning against hustle culture.
