About this episode

The episode discusses the repetition of patterns in marriage, parenting, and culture, comparing past and present expectations.

This week’s episode takes a closer look at why patterns repeat themselves; in marriage, parenting, and culture. We explore whether our grandparents’ marriages were truly better or simply built under different expectations, why our kids seem to struggle with the same behaviors despite countless reminders, and the debate surrounding Becky Hammon after the New York Knicks’ historic championship run. It’s a conversation about perspective, consistency, and what happens when the past collides with the present.
