Description
Marriage 2.0 with kids…and all the side quests!
Super Familiar with the Wilsons is a weekly comedy podcast about second marriage blended family life, and the beautiful chaos of parenting, aging, and figuring it all out (again). Hosted by Amanda and Josh, partners in life, love, and side quests, each episode dives into real-life stories, quirky observations, listener emails, and spontaneous tangents that somehow always circle back to relationships, resilience, and the absurdity of modern life.
Whether you’re navigating your own second act, raising kids who don’t want your help, or just wondering why birds seem to aim for your head, you’ll find humor, honesty, and heart here. Expect: offbeat storytelling, second-marriage dynamics, parenting fails, philosophical detours, and new friends you didn’t know you needed.
Familiar Wilsons Media produces content to bring people together. We are curious, hopeful, and try not to take ourselves too seriously...admittedly, with varying degrees of success.

Send a text This week, Madison joins us to talk about her time working in a funeral home, what death teaches the living, and why grief, absurdity, and dignity all seem to sit at the same table. Also: farmer’s market people-watching, Aldi dresses with pockets, and somehow, Fallout.

Send a text This week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Amanda and Josh are joined by Collin Whitlock for a chaotic chat about storytelling, community, and why a room full of grown adults collectively moaning can be the most emotionally responsible thing you do all month. Along the way: we test our extremely questionable knowledge of English cities, wander into the sacred territory of awkward silence, and remember that being uncomfortable in a safe place is… weirdly kind of the point?...
Send a text Relationships are the story. And this week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, that story includes Olympic drama, jalapeño eye trauma, Gen X sex education trauma, and one extremely inconvenient question from a nine-year-old. We dive into Winter Olympics chaos (cheating scandals, flying survivalists, and medals that can’t hang), flash back to how we learned about “the birds and the bees” (spoiler: not well), and wrestle with modern parenting in a world where YouTube exists and wood...
Send a text Parenting in a digital world can feel like steering a canoe in crosswinds, especially when your kid starts sounding like a gaming livestream. This week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, we talk screen time boundaries, YouTube rabbit holes, media literacy for kids, and finding the middle ground between isolation and algorithm overload. We share what happened when we swapped chaos for curation, added library cards and backyard soccer, and aimed for fewer tabs, more pages. Plus: aw...
Send a text Across the alley, a neighbor becomes a character and the neighborhood turns into a stage: speeding cars, a beloved Nemo pumpkin, and grudges with no names. Meanwhile, a small boy puts on glasses and the world snaps into HD. He starts speaking in riddles, announcing new powers, and requesting a meeting about budgets like a tiny haunted accountant. We also open one email, avoid several emotions, and briefly question whether realism has gone too far. Super Familiar with The Wilsons ...
Send a text In this episode of Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Amanda and Josh stumble into one of those conversations that starts with a normal errand and quietly escalates into an existential audit. We talk about the unsettling moment you realize time has been moving faster than you thought, the kinds of questions kids ask right before sleep that absolutely should come with a warning label, and what it looks like to show up for people when comfort is no longer guaranteed. There’s discussio...
Send a text A pointless bedtime food count mutates into a conversation about memory, influence, ADHD, perimenopause, barking dogs, and the ongoing group project known as Marriage 2.0. Gen X exhaustion meets Gen Alpha chaos. One brain is Jeopardy-ready, the other is a busted library. We talk recall triggers, who actually influences us now, grounding strategies for anxious brains, and how love holds when everyone is overstimulated and the dog refuses peace. Listener emails derail things (steak ...
Send a text What happens when the person talking sounds confident but the body has other plans? We notice the glitch. We don’t fix it. We build around it. This episode wanders through identity slippage, energy math that no longer adds up, and the quiet renegotiation of how we show up for each other when the old rhythms stop working. There are new rules (gentler ones), abandoned expectations, and a few experimental side paths involving rooms, routines, and people gathering for reasons that are...
Send a text How not to litigate your marriage like it’s a podcast court. Memory misfires. Sleep disappears. Someone says “circle back” and a soul leaves a body. Embarrassment is declared a lifestyle. Cringe becomes courage in a novelty hat. No onions are harmed. Art appears. Strangers clap. Wellness culture smells like fish and asks too many questions. Listener messages arrive carrying thermostat wars, sacred mugs, and mysteries best left unsolved. If you enjoy funny relationship podcasts, su...
Send a text We head to Amelia Island for our eleventh anniversary, skewer the copy-paste beach-town vibe, and find a real story in American Beach’s history. Back home, a candid relationship quiz surfaces our habits, frictions, and the small routines that keep us close.

Send a text It’s almost Christmas, and the Wilsons are doing what the holidays demand: attending suspiciously fancy work parties, negotiating drink-ticket economics, and discovering that nothing says “festive” like a giant Bluetooth speaker that could absolutely summon woodland cryptids on command. Then the neighborhood stages a rare, beautiful moment of HOA solidarity (the kind that can only happen at 9:00 a.m. on a Sunday when everyone is fueled by spite and cold coffee). From there, Josh &...
Send a text On this week’s Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Amanda and Podcast Jesus return to Sunday-morning recording to unpack holiday work parties, questionable parenting moments, mysterious car trouble, and the strange comfort of niche pillows, Hallmark-adjacent movies, and loyal listeners. It’s marriage 2.0 with kids, hormones, neighborhood nonsense, and a little Gainesville holiday magic, exactly the kind of chaos you can put in your ears while pretending to be productive. Super Famili...
Send a text Barbecue-sauce “arson,” a stadium that literally farts during fireworks, and a coffee order that could break up a marriage, welcome to another perfectly unhinged conversation with our friend Gavin. We compare UK and US chaos, ride the annual “Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays” outrage carousel, and BBQ sauce. Gavin walks us through award winning pub bathrooms and a cursed KFC restroom, we investigate why the London Velodrome whoops like a cartoon character during fireworks, and we...
Send a text Amanda is beefing with a nine-year-old “lawyer of parenting,” Josh is emotionally held hostage by the phrase “I need to talk to you” via text, and Alexa has decided she also deserves hot cocoa. We wander through Target pillow trials, Disney Springs escapism, Publix yoga-pant anthropology, open carry at the bookstore, HOA roller disco villains, and one surprisingly practical tip for calming anxiety and getting your body out of fight-or-flight without having to run a 5K. Along the w...
Send a text In this episode, we save someone from an unnecessary tow truck, confront a smart speaker that suddenly thinks it’s our equal and honor a true hero of the public restroom. We also test-drive a switch from coffee to matcha (spoiler: fewer jitters, more smugness), debate whether dogs are tiny furry theologians while cats are morally neutral agents of chaos, and accidentally summon K-pop Demon Hunters. Plus, a shockingly hard history game, and your listener letters take us everywhere ...
Send a text We wander into the strange promises of tech: an “anti-gaslighting” app. Winter makes a cameo, Florida-style. Bowling humility. Plus, a cryptic song riddle gets solved, our Scottish friend is deciphered, and movies are backward. Pull up a chair. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s juggling kids and chaos, and listen up.

Send a text Marriage 2.0 with kids means romance, mustaches, and emergency key fob batteries. In this installment of Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Josh discovers something surprising at a KPop Demon Hunter sing-along, we give a PSA about cars that die but really don't, a neighborhood HOA saga update, and a pink-slippers-on-a-scooter sighting that redefines road safety. Listener stories bring tumbling couches, runaway cows, and Freaknik folklore. Plus: the cryptic Song Qui...
Send a text Halloween candy mountain, party “forced fun,” and the eternal mystery of Why Every Kid Owns a 128 oz Water Bottle. In this comedy chat from Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Amanda and Josh rant about trick-or-treat overload, hosting a house full of costumed grown-ups, and building community without losing your mind (or your Kit Kats). We swap idiom-costume ideas for school (“piece of cake,” anyone?), give a tiny HOA update and play a cross-century slang game (Victorian “bumbershoo...
Send a text Marriage 2.0 with side quests and kids. Amanda and Josh tackle the mysterious “six seven” meme, a KPop Demon Hunters obsession, and why Topgolf isn’t putt-putt (or dueling pianos actually dueling). DoorDash diplomacy, an alarm titled “Play with me, Daddy,” HRT patch wins, and a backyard Baby Saja rap battle. Listener mail checks rapture rumors; The Birdcage is your homework. Also: the family dog’s dental drama. Funny, warm, a little chaotic—Super Familiar with the Wilsons is paren...
Send a text Sleep-deprived, off the rails, and somehow leading straight into parental panic, moral victories, and one bed date. It’s a ride through a weekend that began with peace, steak, and football glory, and ended with a 2 A.M. call that tested their parenting nerves and their Wi-Fi connection. There’s a police car involved, a Disney detour, cosmic messages about fantasy football, and a suspiciously prophetic name. Meanwhile, Amanda rediscovers her sparkle thanks to modern medicine (and m...
