Lynette Carolla, and Stefanie Wilder-Taylor are two mothers of twins just trying not to eff it up. In this raucous hour of conversation they cover a range of topics from marriage, divorce and the space in between, to what they’re watching, where they’re going (Target) and how they manage to look so damn young. The format is informative, loose and most of all entertaining. If you’re looking for parenting advice you’ve come to the wrong place but when you hear their honest, unfiltered experiences you may come away knowing what NOT to do. Put them in your ears while you clean your floors or walk your dog and let them keep you company during what will surely become your favorite hours of the week. New shows come out Tuesdays and Fridays.

I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts over the years and FCOL consistently makes me laugh and keeps me coming back. It’s one of the few that I actually listen to as soon as a new episode comes out. Keep up the great work Stefanie, Lynette, and Caelen!
Nerdrawker · Feb 2024
Love the show been listening since day one. I get a bit annoyed at times but I love that caelan is more involved cause goods a new perspective. Love Lynette always she’s the absolute reason I listen. Stef I like her too but, as she knows, a LOT of stories get repeated and it’s always in depth. Not just a quick rush through synopsis. Still love them all though and having 3 episodes a week is so much better! I loved the episode discussing shows. That’s what we all want weekly!

I’ve been listening since the beginning, even though I don’t have kids. I love Teresa Strasser and wanted to check out her new pod and the rest is history. Teresa and Lynette talked about all sorts of things, not just parenting and that didn’t change when Stephanie came aboard. They are so down to earth, funny and entertaining. Love the regular podcasts as well as their Patreon episodes.

Stef too often steps on others stories during the podcast. It disrupts flow and doesn't allow others to finish. Or she completes others' stories. The podcast needs more Lynette and Calean and fewer disruptions from Stef, which are sometimes just repeats.
Calberta · Jan 2024
Except for Julie, guest episodes are not working. Here’s how other podcasts incorporate guests successfully: they don’t change the format of their show to accommodate a guest. They just fold them in to their regular format. FCOL is not an interview format show, it’s a show where 2 women talk about their lives. But these guest episodes turn into interview shows where they try to prove how interesting/funny/entertaining this guest is (they really aren’t). Just make it a regular show where the guest contributes here or there. And please stop referring to your doctor as Dr “Knock Around” because his wife abuses him. It’s so cringe and it’s not funny. Wouldn’t be ok if their doctor was a woman, and it’s not ok when their doctor is a man.
