More from We Are Fine
What started as an experiment somehow became a time capsule—of squirrels, tangents, and a lot of laughs. In this Season 1 finale, we reflect on our favorite moments, how Jordan went from podcast novice to certified co-host, and what it’s like podcasting while five months pregnant. There’s a lot of love, a lot of nostalgia, and yes—one final showdown over household temperatures. Plus, why this podcast might become the most chaotic baby diary of all time.
In Episode 21, our special guests Josh and Lauren Monroe join us and things go full retail nightmare. In this chaotic episode of Escape Womb, they face off against a haunted appliance, a passive-aggressive 7-foot greeter, yogurt-covered toddlers, and a store manager so powerful, he can deny refunds with a sigh. Oh—and did we mention Nala the therapy dog is officially retiring? It’s funny, heartfelt, and absolutely unhinged.
In Episode 20 we are joined by the hilarious by Educator Andrea for a wild rewrite of 1850 Los Angeles history. As Pio Pico and Arcadia Bandini, they’ll bribe senators, blackmail rivals, and maybe—just maybe—accidentally start a war. It’s land barons, chaos, and corruption... with a side of fries. And if you think they’re the good guys? Think again.
In Episode 19 we continue the saga to Benedict Scramblebatch! He is back—this time, facing his biggest challenge yet: Project Batterstorm, a sinister plan that threatens the entire coffeehouse industry. Will he survive an underground brunch war? Will Crumlord finally be toast? And most importantly—who is truly pulling the strings behind Project Batterstorm?
In Episode 18 we finally shares the big news—we're expecting! We open up about the joy, anxiety, and emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy after loss, reflecting on our journey from heartbreak to hope. Plus, I share how they broke the news to our family and my students!
