Super Familiar with The Wilsons

Familiar Wilsons Media

Marriage 2.0 with kids…and all the side quests!

Super Familiar with the Wilsons is a weekly comedy podcast about second marriage blended family life, and the beautiful chaos of parenting, aging, and figuring it all out (again). Hosted by Amanda and Josh, partners in life, love, and side quests, each episode dives into real-life stories, quirky observations, listener emails, and spontaneous tangents that somehow always circle back to relationships, resilience, and the absurdity of modern life.

Whether you’re navigating your own second act, raising kids who don’t want your help, or just wondering why birds seem to aim for your head, you’ll find humor, honesty, and heart here. Expect: offbeat storytelling, second-marriage dynamics, parenting fails, philosophical detours, and new friends you didn’t know you needed.

Familiar Wilsons Media produces content to bring people together. We are curious, hopeful, and try not to take ourselves too seriously...admittedly, with varying degrees of success.

The Politics of Shared Peanut Butter
Send us Fan Mail How do you politely end a conversation when you have absolutely no intention of going anywhere? Is it possible to establish personal boundaries without inventing a contagious disease? And at what point does a stranger's child become a credible threat? Josh and Amanda navigate the treacherous waters of social etiquette, marriage, parenting, and the politics of shared peanut butter. Seasonal festivities, questionable encounters, unfinished business, and the occasional interruption from a universe that seems to be having administrative difficulties. It's a comedy podcast about marriage, family life, and the tiny absurdities of being human. Or, more accurately, two people trying to understand the rules of everyday life, despite mounting evidence that nobody actually knows them. Super Familiar with the Wilsons. Marriage, parenting, Gen X nostalgia, and other things we probably should have figured out by now.

The Marital Performance Review and The Unfinished Business File
Send us Fan Mail Marriage is a beautiful partnership built on love, trust, mutual respect, and the occasional formal performance review conducted by someone who has appointed herself management. Also, after six years of podcasting, we've realized we've left an alarming number of stories dangling in the breeze. So we're opening the Wilson Unfinished Business Department (BANGGGGGGGG) to revisit old mysteries, questionable decisions, abandoned ambitions, and things that probably should have been allowed to die quietly. Fancy internet words to make people listen: Marriage, parenting, ADHD, midlife, and judging your spouse. Super Familiar with the Wilsons is a husband and wife comedy podcast about Marriage 2.0, kids, side quests, and two people who have turned ordinary life into a six year conversation that still hasn't reached a conclusion. Come for the marriage advice. Stay because we've misplaced the exit.

Game Time: "To Guess or Not to Guess" Movie Plots
Send us Fan Mail This week, Shakespeare wanders into a Blockbuster video store, fantasy football becomes an exercise in statistically average humiliation, and the Wilson household discovers that sobriety apparently comes with a surprisingly expensive beverage subscription. It's pop culture, movie trivia, fantasy football, and matrimonial absurdity. All the world's a stage. Unfortunately, the Wilsons have microphones. Beeth gnarly.

GLP-1s, Garlic, and Emotional Support Haunted Castles

Perimenopause, Spider Eyes & No Dog Left Ungreeted
Send us Fan Mail We stayed out until 10 pm, so naturally we’re exhausted. This week: a stranger at Gator soccer who desperately wants to be our friend, Amanda’s strict No Dog Left Ungreeted policy, the haunted dollhouse that has become a member of the family, and chatting about perimenopause and not quite feeling like yourself. Plus, Daniel and Winthrop hunt for spider eyes, we reconsider what makes someone a real friend, and Josh explains why you should never pass up an available toilet. Midlife is going great.

Our Neighbors Don't Want to Be Our Friends and The Shelves Were a Mistake
Send us Fan Mail This week, Amanda tries to make friends in the neighborhood and gets roughly the same response you'd expect from shouting into an abandoned well. That sends us down several extremely important rabbit holes: the unwritten rules of holding doors, forgetting people's names, perimenopause brain, adult friendship, polite lying, anonymous confessions, parenting fantasies we should absolutely never act on, and whether supporting someone's terrible art is an act of love. Marriage. Friendship. Neighbors. ADHD. Perimenopause. Social etiquette. Cheap hardware. You know. The usual.

Please Do Not Introduce a New Variable
Send us Fan Mail What happens when work stress follows you home and everyone in the family is running on low emotional capacity? Josh and Amanda talk marriage, parenting, mental overload, stress eating, checking out, overstimulation, and the strange little things that help when your brain has simply had enough. Along the way, they ask about food temperature, the therapeutic possibilities of going to bed absurdly early, and whether a household can legally declare that it is no longer accepting new information. It’s an episode about stress, coping, marriage, and finding a little hope when everybody’s internal “please do not introduce a new variable” light is blinking.

Perhaps You Can Outrun a Cold plus Emergency ASMR
Send us Fan Mail Josh has a cold and briefly becomes convinced he has discovered something about the human body that all doctors and scientists in recorded history have somehow overlooked. Amanda brings some questionable science of her own, which leads to an attempt at communicating directly with Josh’s body. Meanwhile, the Wilson household has been rocked by a municipal change of such staggering importance that it threatens to alter the entire rhythm of the week. The neighbors are no help. They may, in fact, have a separate group chat. Then there’s a 20 second experiment conducted in jeans, an investigation into Josh’s moral alignment that raises more questions than it answers, a gibbous moon that becomes far more important than anyone anticipated, and a dispatch from Refined Gay Jeff involving Ipswich, books, allergies, and an urgent care visit that he chooses to interpret in his own special way. Also: lawn crews, Ring cameras, Dungeons & Dragons, seasonal allergies, getting older, British television, marriage, ADHD, and the growing suspicion that the Wilsons may be the strange people in the neighborhood.

Messi, The Premier League, and Other Things We Don’t Understand
Send us Fan Mail This week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Josh and Amanda settle into the pub and wander confidently into subjects they are not qualified to discuss. There’s a sudden outbreak of Premier League football, a question about what the rest of the world thinks Americans actually do on weekends, a mysterious artifact from the early days of the Miami Heat, an unexpected canine side quest, and the triumphant return of a game that takes perfectly respectable movie titles and sends them through a wood chipper. Winthrop continues to become alarmingly smarter than his parents, spooky season begins creeping out of the walls, listener mail arrives from Germany, and Josh confronts the strange human compulsion to keep watching television we actively despise. It’s marriage, parenting, family life, pop culture, soccer, movies, aging, and middle-aged nonsense from Gainesville, Florida. #SuperFamiliarWithTheWilsons #ComedyPodcast #MarriagePodcast #FamilyPodcast #ParentingHumor #GenX #Over50 #PodcastRecommendations #PremierLeague #PopCulturePodcast Super Familiar with The Wilsons Find us on instagram at instagram.com/superfamiliarwiththewilsons and on Youtube Contact us! familiarwilsons@gmail.com A Familiar Wilsons Production

Burger Week and The Bear Has Been Eating Cheese Since Tuesday
Send us Fan Mail This week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Josh and Amanda return to the important questions facing modern families: Why does food suddenly become boring? How many subscriptions are quietly feeding on your bank account because you forgot to cancel the free trial? Can technology save us from ourselves by simply removing all of our choices? And at what point does a laundry basket stop being a household object and become a monument to everything we have failed to accomplish? Along the way, Josh and Amanda talk adult ADHD, forgotten subscriptions, marriage, family life, Gainesville, food obsessions, unmasking, listener mail, dogs, zoos, laundry, and the everyday absurdities of trying to function as a human being when your brain would rather begin an entirely unrelated project.

Nobody Asked for the Pee Quiz
Send us Fan Mail This week, our marriage is fine, the dog has entered assisted living, and Josh is considering growing a mullet despite a significant shortage of front-of-house hair. We wander through ADHD unmasking, Alexa’s refusal to play the correct Brooks & Dunn, the economics of crow friendship, and the growing suspicion that Finland may simply be too content to listen to this podcast. Then Amanda finds an online quiz designed to make Josh pee himself. It does not. Emotionally, however, everyone leaves damp.

Miami is a Financial Mistake
Send us Fan Mail Marriage is a beautiful partnership between two people who love each other very much and would occasionally like the other person to stop making decisions. This week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons, we’re wandering through the strange middle years, where brains change the rules without updating the manual, hormones begin operating as an independent government, and a perfectly ordinary conversation can suddenly require NATO intervention. We’ve also been traveling, which means spending alarming amounts of money to experience things we could never have predicted would make us sad, angry, confused, or philosophical. There are questions of ethics. Questions of privacy. Questions of whether civilization was a mistake. And, inevitably, an incident involving a crosswalk. Back home, we confront one of adulthood’s most relentless enemies: having to decide what to eat again. Apparently yesterday’s dinner did not permanently solve food. So we consider radical solutions to decision fatigue, unnecessary choices, daily routines, and the possibility that the secret to inner peace may simply be owning several identical shirts. Plus, we travel the globe without leaving our chairs, investigate some deeply peculiar back-to-school traditions, hear from Refined Gay Jeff, and continue our lifelong project of trying to become functional adults several decades after the deadline. It’s an episode about marriage, ADHD, perimenopause, parenting, decision fatigue, travel, routines, animals, food, tiny frustrations, and the increasingly suspicious amount of administrative work required simply to remain alive.

FIFA Is Corrupt and Dating Fails with Gavin Belson
Send us Fan Mail We invited Gavin from Be There With Belson over to talk about the World Cup, and for a few glorious minutes we actually stayed on topic. We get into soccer gatekeeping, why everyone becomes an elite tactical genius every four years, whether FIFA deserves your trust, and the surprisingly wholesome side of a tournament that somehow convinces billions of strangers to care about the same thing at the same time. Then the conversation wanders off like a toddler in the ALDI center aisle. We end up discussing modern dating, self-worth, perimenopause, medieval beer, coffee, conspiracy theories, and when your friends should have veto power over your dating profile. Also, Gavin may have the greatest collection of "How did this happen to me?" stories of any human we've ever met. Topics include: World Cup, soccer, football fandom, FIFA, Premier League, dating apps, self-worth, conspiracy theories, history trivia, Flashbacks, and whatever happened in the ten minutes we forgot to stay on topic.

Our 9 Year Old's Philosophy is "Life is Only Two Minutes Long"
Send us Fan Mail Josh stops masking his ADHD, which accidentally launches one of the deepest conversations we've ever had. After feeding years of podcast transcripts into AI, we discover what artificial intelligence thinks our personalities actually are and it isn't entirely flattering. Along the way we wrestle with uncomfortable questions about identity, memory, and whether there's even such a thing as a single "real" version of ourselves. Then our nine year old casually delivers a line that sounds like it came from a Buddhist monk instead of a fourth grader. Also...World Cup musings, and Game Time from Amanda. It's an episode about identity, neurodivergence, parenting, pressure, and why every conversation in this family somehow ends with ancient Greece or medieval France.

Our Maine Trip, Horse Tornadoes, and Lobster Rolls
Send us Fan Mail After two weeks away, we are back with stories from Maine, where delayed flights, lobster pounds, suspiciously homemade mayonnaise, and surprisingly charming small towns made for an unforgettable trip. Along the way, we debate airport etiquette, discover the world's largest cryptozoology museum, argue over fireworks parking, play a game of guessing perimenopause replacement words ("horse tornado" might become part of your vocabulary), answer listener emails, and wrestle with the surprisingly complicated question of whether friendships should always require equal effort.

World Cup Fever and a Goat in Miami International Airport
Send us Fan Mail We're not saying the timeline is broken. We're just saying it could probably use a software update. Scientists believe reality is held together by a delicate web of cause and effect. We spend an hour trying to prove them wrong. Along the way, we become unexpectedly obsessed with the FIFA World Cup, attempt to choose Premier League teams, survive the glorious chaos that is Miami International Airport, spend way too much money on airport food, and discover an internet business that absolutely should not exist, and, by the way, a new sibling appears. Come for the conversation. Stay because, at some point, it becomes impossible to explain to another person what you're listening to.
