What would a dad do? Kristin and Jen are trying to survive the fall chaos by caring just a little bit less and honestly, it might be working. From the divorce rug and TikTok algorithms to mom overwhelm, perimenopause, dark documentaries, Backrooms, Mad Men, midday martinis, and the undeniable gifts of Jon Hamm, we're embracing a new mantra: it doesn't matter THAT much.
