Episode Eleven: Certainly It's About Uncertainty

The Mental Funny Bone

Fan Mail Goes Here!!

In this episode, Sarah and Chris dive into the hilariously chaotic world of youth sports, recounting Sarah's epic saga of watching her son Owen's nail-biting soccer tryouts. Spoiler alert: there are more tears and triumphs than a reality TV finale. They laugh (and cry) about the emotional rollercoaster of youth sports, where the parents are more intense than the kids, and everyone’s living vicariously through their mini-Messis.

They open up about the constant guessing game of medication effectiveness.

Family vacations get a shout-out, including tales of mishaps that would make National Lampoon proud.
Finally, they wax philosophical about personal growth, reframing perspectives, and becoming slightly less terrible people. They argue that embracing uncertainty isn’t just for quantum physicists – it's the key to becoming a better human. Between jokes about midlife crises and philosophical revelations, they explore why it’s crucial to re-evaluate values and actions without turning into existential angst monsters.

By the end, they’re basically the Socrates and Plato of the podcasting world, reminding us all that life’s a hot mess, but it’s our hot mess to navigate with humor, humility, and the occasional well-placed f-bomb.
