In this episode of Full Nelson, we cover a little bit of everything: our upcoming surrogacy journey, what Invest America’s new policy rollout could mean, and why Tim’s obsession with turning on the “big light” is driving Amanda insane. We also get candid about people spouting opinions online without doing their homework, the evolving role of women in the home, and how Amanda’s algorithm is nudging her away from the girl boss era and closer to homemaker vibes. Equal parts funny, honest, and thought-provoking, this one definitely feels like sitting down with us at the kitchen table.

This week on Full Nelson we catch you up on why we didn’t film last week and everything that’s been going on behind the scenes—from almost moving houses to officially representing ourselves and cutting ties with our realtor. We get into the weight of the world lately, including our raw take on the Charlie Kirk assassination, and what it means to show up for your community instead of pulling away when things feel heavy.

We also launch two brand new segments—starting with our on-air fight (yes, we’re actually arguing live) where we settle if eating in bed is ever acceptable, and then move into a debate on what it really means to be early versus late.

It’s personal, unfiltered, and a little chaotic—the way life actually feels.

This week, Amanda and Tim cover it all — from the bedroom to the football field.

We’re talking about the messy middle ground of co-sleeping (do we love it or hate it? …both), the dirty truth about swim diapers (spoiler: they don’t actually absorb anything), and how to regulate your emotions when life feels heavy and you’re still trying to be good partners to each other.

Plus: Bills vs. Ravens Sunday Night Football predictions, whether we’re actually insane enough to take a baby to Singapore, a recap of our Jackson Hole trip, and a debate on if kids cussing is okay… or just hilarious.

Marriage, parenting, travel, football, and the real stuff in between — all unfiltered, all us.

We’ve been sitting on a HUGE secret, and for the first time ever—we’re finally sharing it with you. This episode goes deep: Should men be emotional, or is it still seen as a turn-off? How do men and women really handle emotions differently, and what does that mean for relationships today? Plus, we’re breaking down how to choose a partner who actually supports you, instead of one who drags you down.

If you’ve ever wondered what really makes a relationship work (and what doesn’t), this one’s for you.

This week on Full Nelson, we’re serving up hot takes you didn’t know you needed. Like… why Texas Roadhouse might secretly have the best Caesar salad from a chain restaurant in America (yes, we’re ready to die on that hill). Why a DM from Sheetz—the holy grail of Central Pennsylvania gas stations…just changed Amanda’s life yet again. And why we’d rather trust a Waymo autonomous car than 90% of the humans on the road.

Then it gets personal: Amanda opens up about going from over 200 pounds to a completely different life—more confidence, better clothes, and yes… more opportunities. But our take on weight loss might ruffle some feathers.

You’re either going to nod along or yell at us. Either way, you’re going to want to hear this one.

In this episode of Full Nelson, we’re recapping our recent trip to Italy—yes, with a one-year-old in tow—and sharing what it’s really like travelling internationally as new parents. We get into everything from flight logistics to nap time at Lake Como to how Amanda always needs another trip on the books (because obviously).

We also open up about a topic that’s been on our minds: why we originally chose not to show our son’s face on social media, and why we’ve shifted that perspective. It’s a real conversation about privacy, safety, and the changing way we share family life online.

Other highlights? We talk about how people are way too casual about things like magnets, parrots talking, and vinyl records (seriously—how are we not more amazed?). Plus, we reflect on the homes we grew up in versus the life we’re building now—like casually buying a million-dollar home in Austin with no generational wealth behind us. Spoiler: it’s surreal, and we don’t take it for granted.

Whether you’re here for the toddler travel tips, the marriage real talk, or just to laugh at how unhinged we sound when we get philosophical about UFOs—you’re in the right place.

Airbnb vs Hotels, couple finances, and buying a house in Austin, Texas.
In this episode, we’re diving into the Airbnb vs Hotel debate, what we love, what we avoid, and when each makes sense for travel. Then we answer listener questions about managing money in marriage, splitting finances as a couple, and how we approach budgeting. We also share a major life update: We put in an offer on a house in Austin, Texas. From house hunting tips to first-time homebuyer struggles, we’re giving you the unfiltered version of it all.

In this first episode, we’re talking about why we started a podcast because honestly, we didn’t have some 10-step plan. We’re just figuring it out as we go. One of us wanted a space to process things out loud, the other one just likes making stuff. So here we are.

We get into how we met (yes, high school but didn’t date then), how we reconnected, did the long-distance thing, and slowly turned into a real relationship.

We also talk about what’s kept us together this long, especially after getting married young and going through military life. Parenting styles and how we differ from each other.

And we wrap it with a hot take: Is it wrong to let a random guy buy you a drink if you’re married… as long as you bring it back to your husband? Asking for a friend. (It’s me. I’m the friend.)
