Super Familiar with The Wilsons
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.

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,...
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, ...
We wrestle with how to handle swearing around kids and admit our own hypocrisy plus: the matcha shortage, Publix marathons and the Uncrustables saga from vegetarian to steak plus K‑pop Demon Hunters.

Marriage 2.0, an eight-year-old’s gelato grift, HOA espionage at the pool, PE squats vs. aging knees, Talk Like a Pirate Day, a lovingly irreverent “Seven Things To Do Before The Rapture,” rapture panic history, Amanda’s Flashbackst imeline quiz (Josh gets humbled), and a cozy equinox call to touch grass, maybe before the hurricane. Ends with a gloriously absurd “rapture roll call” in the credits.

Josh napalms his throat with Fire Hot Fritos and then explains how he let AI draft his fantasy team… to an F. Amanda declares it the Season of All The Germs and the Microsoft Planner of Doom (167 “due today” tasks!), while the Wilsons unpack kid boredom, screen-time rage-quits, and transitions that need a landing strip. Then it’s Gainesville game-day anthropological fieldwork: “Team Mario Brothers,” vanished shorts, w...
What happens when your kid finally leaves for college…but only moves 15 minutes down the road? Josh is still sick, Amanda is still emotional, and Muffy is using communal bathrooms.
