Date Night with Jake and PagePage and Jake's Takes: The Whole30 "Diet"We're doing Whole30. We mean we're going on a diet. We mean we want to try to eliminate some foods from our diet. We mean Jake is going on a beard cleanse.
Whatever you want to call it, we're doing it: Whole30. We've done minimal research. Page forgot to meal prep for work on Day 1. Jake plans to eat only chicken. We're off to an amazing start.
Why are we doing it? Not really sure. We both know we could be making better dietary decisions, though, and a change has been a long time coming. Do we hope to lose...

2020 has been a challenge, you guys. And if you're a parent of young children, school has been one of the toughest parts. On this episode of "Date Night with Jake and Page" we talk with Shannon and Andrew ("Drew") Houlihan. Drew's the Superintendent of Union County Public Schools. That would be our county. That's right, we cornered our Superintendent and dragged him...

We were thrilled to welcome Cris and Pablo Agurcia to the podcast for this episode. We've been trying to get Cris - aka The Batchmaker - on for months, but she can barely come up for air with how popular her business has become. But first, a bit of the back story...
Cris and Pablo are high school sweethearts from Honduras, which, upon her finding out, nearly sent Page into a lather. She - fun...

This episode is about "The Sweet Spot." That glorious moment when your kids are old enough to fend for themselves. When you can go to the beach and realize seven days later that you have no idea what any of your children had for lunch last week. When your kids say, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, we'll brush our teeth and put ourselves to bed." All right, maybe that's getting a bit greedy.

Date Night with Jake and PageRyan & Samie RobertsFirst of all, Jake does know what a bustle is. He is very smart, after all (p.s. this is Jake).
For this episode we step into the realm of quarantined Zoom calls, bringing on Ryan and Samie Roberts, co-founders of Bustld. Ryan and Samie's company is based in Charlotte, and they serve brides and grooms in the southeast by bridging the gap between them and wedding vendors. Their company is surviving this madness, but the same can't be said for many of their clients' planned weddings.
We talk shop for a bit - Bustld is a fun husband-wife Queen...

Emily Breeze and Montell Watson were our guests on Episode 3. THREE. This is episode 49. They've had three kids since then. Or is it 2? Wait, when was their first born again? Exactly. Who knows. When you have kids, your brain fries, and that was on display for the first couple minutes while we embarrassingly tried to figure out basic math. Interested in audio birth control? Well, we've got the episode for you!

For our last episode, we recorded a podcast with our friend Lindsay Shookus, who had taken a flight down to N.C. with her daughter. Lindsay sat on a couch next to Page while we recorded. She used a headset that had been used by a previous guest. Following the podcast, we took an Uber to a shopping center where we ate dinner in a crowded restaurant.
How insane does that sequence of events sound today? Crazy times.

Lindsay and Page met as freshmen at UNC (Go Heels!), and their friendship took off from there. They were roommates in Chapel Hill, and then later again a couple of years post-graduation in New York City. Both worked for NBC - Lindsay at Saturday Night Live and Page as a, yes, NBC Page - and they...

A few years later fate brought them together again on the mean streets of...Pineville. Which...was only mean because this time all of both of their children were in tow, and that will make anyone mean.

The cover image for this end-of-year episode is fitting. We've clearly got a plan - we're wearing matching, albeit it purposefully hideous outfits, but we're also clearly not quite nailing it. That's what the holiday season has represented for us with the podcast each of the last three years. Life gets in the way of podcasting. Go figure.
In 2019 we brought on some amazing guests. We introduced Page and Jake's Takes. We had a TON of fun. But our goals for 2020 are bigger (we get into that next episode!). They're also simpler. We invested in...

For this episode, we're bringing back two of our favorites as part of a live show meets date night meets Page and Jake's takes. The audio is from a September conference in Charlotte called EmpowerCon. Our good friend Meredith Dean rounded up some of Queen City's finest for the event, and she also invited us. Speakers talked culture, politics, entertainment, and yes - parenting. Or adulting. Or how to make a fool of yourself in front of large groups. Either way, that was our topic...and we took this one a few places...

This week marks Back to School week for many here in Charlotte, so we thought it was fitting to weigh in. Jake loves to make a big deal about Back to School, and while Page appreciates it, she doesn't think working parents should stress if they miss it.

You better believe Page will have one with her girlfriends before the end of the year. Page primarily does laundry, dishes, communication with teachers; Jake does bills, car stuff and emptying bookbags/homework. No "secret contracts" no trying to sneak one past the other person.

The rules of babysitting...are they for the kids? The babysitter? The parents?
Heading into this we always thought we had one main rule concerning babysitters: USE THEM. Early and often. (Sort of like how we wish we did for the wedding in the cover image of this episode!)
Turns out there’s more to it than that.
During this episode, Page and Jake discuss everything from how much actual work is reasonable to expect of a babysitter, or if it's OK to h...

Teeing her up for good answers during auditions. Calling to tell her that their head of sales was the one voting for a different morning anchor. (Editor's note: She's never let him live that down.)
When Page eventually landed the job, she and Nick realized neither of their families knew many people in Charlotte. We had kids the same age. His wife worked in TV too. A family friendship was meant to be.

Family vacations. Do those even exist? Or should they be called family trips? We've taken the kids to a million places, but can only recall one trip where they behaved from start to finish. The trip was to Utah in 2017, and it made us think that we had this parenting thing down. It was incredible. We laughed, we hiked, we ate real food. Then we went to a local park a couple months later and we were convinced that DSS should probably ta...

In this episode we discuss parent behavior at youth sports games. Jake likes to think he's not over the top (spoiler alert: he is, and the kids call him on it). Page has her moments but is definitely the more appropriately behaved of the two. But what's the right call? Shut up and let the kids enjoy it? Go nuts so your kid understands that their future is riding on EVERY SINGLE SOCCER GAME?
