I Love My Kid, But...

This week, comedian and legendary late-night sidekick, Andy Richter, joins Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids…..BUT, there are no days off with kids, even if you had 2 or 18 drinks the night before. Going out with friends and having a few isn’t what it used to be and screens can’t babysit all day, so slug down some aspirin and throw a plate of bacon down your throat because momma, there’s no calling in sick. Plus Andy Richter shakes off the cobwebs and jumps back into the parenting pool with his fiancée's three-year-old. Andy discusses how he found the fountain of youth going through the toddler phase again, and the crew plots vengeance against every parent’s mortal enemies, snot and hiccups.

This week, comedian and writer, Sarah Tiana, joins Megan ,Chris, & Kurt. They love their kids….BUT sometimes that involves teaching them to lie. Like on vacation when the kids’ club at the resort is 4 years old and up and it’s the only way you can have a drink by the pool in peace! Or at Disney World when you need your kiddo to stand on their tippy toes so they (and you!) can ride Space Mountain. Plus Sarah Tiana steps up to the plate with some of her own parenting lies, because telling your sports-obsessed 3-year-old that his favorite baseball player also takes a nap every day is a pretty harmless lie, right?? Then Sarah and the crew play the villains and take down superheroes once and for all.

This week, comedian and actor Ron Funches joins Megan, Chris, & Kurt. They love their kids….BUT parenting with your partner is hard enough, how the hell are you supposed to do it on your own!? Well it helps when you can just leave your kid with a bunch of strangers while you grab a beer at the bar! Plus Ron Funches, who is a newly solo-parent, talks about the challenges of raising two sons that are nearly 20 years apart in age and why it turns out Bonnaroo might be “too adult” for a 12 year old. And the crew has some choice words for coyotes and the torture that is applying sunscreen to your kids every 80 minutes.

This week, legendary sitcom mom, and actual mom in real life, Julie Bowen joins Megan, Chris & Kurt. They love their kids…BUT boy, are they gross! From swimming in toilets to crapping in bathtubs, there’s just no way to get around the absolute filth that is raising kids. And it turns out they never grow out of it. The stink just gets bigger and stronger, as showers become mere suggestions and soccer cleats turn into a gag-inducing biohazard. Julie also dives into the challenges of raising teenage boys, like getting them to understand that underage drinking isn’t ok, even if you were thoughtful enough to recycle the bottles. Parenting is a tough job, but Julie Bowen is a famous TV mom…with an iPhone tracker. She’s got this.

This week Brat Pack royalty, actor, director and author of the new book, “Walking with Sam, A Father, a Son, and 500 Miles Across Spain” Andrew McCarthy joins Megan, Chris & Kurt. They love their kids…BUT they truly do ruin your life in the best way. From toddler defiance to teenage indifference, the gang opens up about the warp speed circle of parenting life. One day you’re simply trying to get shoes on your kid and get them out the door and in the blink of an eye they’re using Snapchat to help you navigate through the streets of Spain and barking at you to keep up! But McCarthy is here for all of it… even the poop breaks in the wilderness, questionable hygiene, and bedtime routines that take years off your life. Plus the hosts answer their first ever listener (or should we say But-Head?) Voicemail!

This week writer, comedian, and best selling author, Jessi Klein joins Megan, Chris & Kurt. They love their kids…BUT that doesn’t mean they have to love OTHER PEOPLE’S kids, especially when some unsupervised 6-year-old is double kicking your 3-year-old in a bounce house like it’s Mortal Kombat! The crew unloads on the clusterf*ck of kids’ parties, gentle parenting, and if it’s ever ok to parent someone else’s kid. Then Jessi Klein joins the fun to share what it’s like to plan a kid’s party, the joy (and horror) of listening to 8-year-old boys talk (and curse) and the Queen song playing on repeat in her house and how it’s melting her brain.
