Description

Listen, They're Fine is the brutally honest parenting podcast for anyone tired of perfect families on social media. Hosts Bubba and John are best friends and neighbors with wildly different approaches to raising kids. Bubba's the chaos parent - wine mom energy, creative solutions, and yes, his 4-year-old knows some colorful language. John's the engineer dad with color-coded schedules, researched gear recommendations, and theories about everything.

Each week, they dive into the beautiful disaster of modern parenting - from navigating school politics to dealing with their own childhood trauma while trying not to mess up their kids. Expect heated debates about screen time, birthday party etiquette, and whether goldfish crackers count as a food group. 

This isn't gentle parenting advice from certified experts. This is two regular dads figuring it out in real time, fighting like siblings, and giving you permission to be imperfect. Episodes drop weekly and feature everything from laugh-until-you-cry parenting fails to surprisingly deep conversations about breaking generational cycles.

Warning: Contains explicit language, discussions of mental health, and two grown men admitting they have no idea what they're doing.
