No One Asked Us
I design and build software, and my wife is a kindergarten teacher. Join us as we talk about parenting, our careers, and whatever else goes on in our very busy, but very rewarding life.
Little Squirrels
We are sick and sick of this recording.
I have something in my eye
Booooy did the king kids get up to some stuff lately. Ali got a new tattoo. Are we the best generation??
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Ali asks a question we fundamentally disagree on and we have Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for a child.
Boatloads of Shame
Something has happened...you are not going to believe this. Also, Ali drops some sweet sweet parenting tips.
Heavyweight Champion
This may be our best episode yet.
She drops knowledge
Ali dives into what she is getting out of her masters and to no ones surprise it is really good stuff.
What's In The Box
A box full of memories and a few easter eggs as well.
The Apple Doesn't Fall Far
Palmer roasts Ali, Ali roasts me, and I ramble on about the meaning of life....what's new?
Coming Out Of The Fog
A King Crew 2025 recap episode.
Someone is going back to school
When is too early to decorate for Christmas? Apparently the answer is that the limit does not exist. Sickness strikes, and someone is going back to school.
This Did Not Go Well For Will
Will and Ali catch up on a wild ride in Auburn, AL. Then Will proceeds to have everything he tries to bring up not go his way for the rest of the show.
Three Most Important Things
Will’s on a travel ban, Allison survived a solo trip with 3 kids, and somehow our toddlers ended up swag surfing at a wedding. Plus: A near-tattoo incident, and Allison’s top 3 parenting hacks.
People Still Hold Balls
Another doozy of a week. In this episode, to kick things off Ali chooses violence and we breakdown our latest family vacation. From laughing at how every week feels like “the hardest one yet” to roasting each other’s outfits and effort levels, we peel back the curtain on what real life actually looks like behind the mic. If you’ve ever felt beat down but still found a way to laugh about it, this one’s for you.
Guess Who's Back...Not Summer Ali
Summer break is over and Season 2 is here! We are so pumped to back on the mics as we dive into a whole new year of fun and crazy in the King house. But first, what happened while we were on break?
Trouble Comes In Threes
Eye stickers, scorpion stings, and a three-year-old's bear-induced meltdown? Sounds like just another family vacation for Will and Ali. In this episode everything went wrong, and Will got sprayed with a water hose.
She Shouldn't Have Camera Access
Will heads to San Francisco while Ali gets stuck holding down the fort on Father's Day with three kids. Speaking of Father's Day Will talks about the greatest gift of all time, Potty Gate 2025, and a surprisingly accurate kitchen preference test, it's just another week of marriage and mayhem.
She Doesn't Understand Robbery
A company acquisition, toothpaste as paint remover, and Wilson asking why daddy's arm has a beard—all while Will doubles down on the worst parenting decision involving primer and three unsupervised children. Episode 31 delivers the beautiful chaos.

We Are Getting A Scoreboard
Police whistles, mysterious megaphones, and Will announcing he's "stepping out" with another podcast—while Ali discovers the hard truth about being married to someone with zero shame. Episode 30 brings the beautiful chaos.

You Should Have Messy Kids
Will and Ali turn a throw-away compliment about their “cozy” home into a full-blown debate over whether a rug, guest towels, and a shower curtain count as redecorating. The banter ricochets from Will’s “Team Shorty-Short” manifesto, the cutest quotes of the week, crowd-sourced logo ideas for the budding King Family brand, and a surprisingly heartfelt link between software design, time management, and why you should have messy children. The result is peak Will-and-Ali chaos with equal parts roast, reality check, and relational gold.

Summer Refresh
DIY dining-room studio, hallway-table turf war, and Ali’s solo-parent Hunger Games while Will is breathing fresh mountain air at his first conference talk. Throw in antique pews, NyQuil shots, and the baffling buzzword “vibe coding”. Welcome to their newly named chaos.

Mustard Sandwich
A facial injury, unsolicited makeup advice, a desperate pitch to rename the podcast, and a couple of origin stories that prove Will has always been full send. Just a regular week for Will and Ali.

Software is saturated.
