I’m not married but still listen to every episode. Such thoughtful topics, fun games, and Allison freestyles a banger jingle every time no matter what John says :)

I’m not married but I do have a long term partner and I love the content. I’ve listened to every episode. The best part for me is the window we get into Allison and John’s relationship and seeing their healthy dynamic. Amazing, 10/10 - please renew this podcast!
