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!
Lindseyandyou · Oct 2023
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.
Dotten1212 · Aug 2023
have been a loyal listener for well over a decade and have always looked forward to this podcast each week. However, in recent years—particularly in 2025—Stephanie's political commentary and personal views have made it increasingly difficult to enjoy. I deeply appreciate Lynette, who has never expressed opinions like these, and I feel for her that she is affected by this.
I am seriously reconsidering my support. I have already unfollowed Stephanie on social media and stopped engaging with her projects, as I cannot in good conscience support someone who has celebrated another person's death over a difference in views. It’s disappointing to feel that something I once loved so much has become nearly unbearable to follow.

Caelan added a lot to the show. He provides smart, thoughtful comments. He works hard without complaining. I also like the Lynette & Caelan banter. Steph getting a little better, but is too absorbed. She has a hard time keeping discussion going unless its about her. Caelan balanced it all.
