Two best friends wrestle with the ghosts of their fathers. After the eerily parallel, tragic decline and deaths of their respective alpha dads, Maryll and Culley attempt to untangle a wide web of family dynamics – with the comfort and familiarity of a decades-long friendship as their only guide. They explore grief, growing up in broken homes, chasing their fathers (literally and metaphorically), separating dad myths from realities, elder decline, becoming a parent's parent, and multiple surprise siblings – and find themselves in the process.

    Ep. 12: Man in the Mirror, Pt. 3

    In this episode, Culley and Maryll try to wrap their brains around the age-old refrain: it was a different time.  As old lives, unspoken truths, and unexpected additions converge to say goodbye, they reckon with what it means to be the final keepers of a father's legacy.

    Ep. 11: Man in the Mirror, Pt. 2

    In this episode, Culley and Maryll prove that things have a way of finding you. Just as their fathers' health and minds began to slip away, they are hit with a wave of parallel revelation, startling discoveries from the past coming to light in rapid succession. With their fathers unable to clarify or answer for the sudden shifts in their timelines, the questions are left hanging in the air.

    Ep. 10: Man in the Mirror, Pt. 1

    In this episode, Culley and Maryll reckon with their fathers’ curated personas as the iconoclasts lose their luster.

    Ep. 9: Two Stories Wide, Pt. 2

    In this episode, Culley and Maryll continue their reckoning with their fathers’ beautifully curated bluster as the iconoclasts start to lose their luster. We examine the cost and complicated perks of witnessing both the peak and the fall of the idol, and the pressure of sustaining the "greatest hits" for a man who is the last to admit his own reality. It is a look at the loyalty required to hold up the pedestal even as the myth begins to crack.

    Ep. 8: Two Stories Wide, Pt. 1

    In this episode, Culley and Maryll examine the foundational stories their fathers told—the ones that hardened into legend. We revisit the ‘greatest hits’ of their self-mythology, deconstructing the narratives that both created and fed the iconoclasts. In doing so, we recognize the essential role of the Greek chorus—be it a chorus of one or many—because a legend cannot exist in a vacuum, and every iconoclast requires an audience to sustain the myth.

    Ep. 7: Family Affair, Pt. 3

    In this episode, Maryll & Culley take a quick but thoughtful look at what really makes someone family. Do you have to share DNA to belong—or is family defined by something deeper, like love, loyalty, and lived connection?

    Ep. 6: Family Affair, Pt. 2

    Maryll & Culley unpack the layers of extended family—how relationships shift when you marry into a new one, and the surprises that come with it. They speculate on Spencer Gifts inventory and reflect on inherited family patterns: how easy it is to fall into them, and the awareness it takes to break free to build family on your own terms.
