410 - I Saw the Sign (and it opened up my eyes) - BLUEY Interlude
This episode is short interlude from our parenting series as Meagan dives into what may be one of the greatest episodes of kids tv ever made.
Meagan shares her heart about the penultimate episode of Bluey, The Sign. Jeff was out of town this week so Meagan watched a new episode of Bluey with the kids - and then everyone was crying?! Meagan talks about why this episode is so important not just for kids - but for all of us.
What did you think of The Sign?! Let us know!

Meagan and Jeff continue their parenting series by diving into some of the truths that helped them through the toddler phase! Meagan talks about the relationship between raising kids and re-evaluating yourself. Jeff lays out his own struggle between being comfortable and parenting choices.
What are some of your favorite toddler stories from your kids or your own growing up? Let us know!
We want to reiterate that this series is about the choices we have made and that we understand that life looks different for everyone. We share these choices with zero judgement and hope that you can feel confident in your choices but also in the choice to sometimes take tips from other places - just like we did (mostly Bluey!).
We also hope to see you back even if you aren't parenting any kiddos - because where we go from here has a lot to do with who we are as people and what we have learned and are learning about life. Stay and join the conversation with us.

406 - Stuff and Thangs - CLUTTER Series Part 1
This week we start a two part series on CLUTTER.
Meagan and Jeff talk about how we end up with so much stuff. Meagan talks about how scarcity leads us to keep things we might not need to hold on to. Jeff dives into why it's not the stuff - but maybe more the time it represents that makes it hard to let go.
Why do you think you end up with so much stuff? Let us know!

Customer Reviews
So nostalgic, funny, and interesting!
Being a west Texas gal in my 30s, I knew I would identify with a lot of the nostalgia from childhood, geographical and local references, and present and past pop culture. I did NOT expect to learn so much in the midst of guffawing and crying! It is so interesting and funny! I would go back and re-listen to so many episodes to revel in with my husband so we could have these conversations together - whether it was to learn more about each other, how to better parent our children, or just learn different perspectives on hard subjects. Schtickless is the perfect podcast to reminisce all the fun things of our past, revel in our own nuances, and revere deeper subjects that’s something we all need to think more on. Thank you Jeff and Meagan for this wonderful and interesting podcast!
Not a podcast person…but definitely a Schtickless person
As much as I wish I was a podcast person, I’m just not (this podcast review is a first for me). However...Schtickless keeps me coming back for more (I just binged 3 episodes back to back)!! Meagan and Jeff have depth but also keep things light heartened. They are with the times but also have perspective to see past them. Listening to Schtickless has become a value-add in my life. My favorite part is that “what you see is what you get” really holds true with Meagan and Jeff. They are the same on the air as they are at the table. Consistency builds trust & The Smiths do this well.
Your new podcast besties!
If you are looking for two new besties to ponder all the random thoughts with, this podcast is for you! They say the things that you wish someone would and you feel seen! As a Mama, Megan’s wisdom the way she words things, just hits the soul different.
Can’t wait to hear more! Keep up the good work. ❤️
