Wicker, Mike Tyson & a Two-Month ADHD Detour
About this podcast
Welcome to Caffeine & Controversy — where an 80s baby/millennial married couple gathers in “the basement” (yes, wood paneling included) to overshare, overthink, and over-caffeinate their way through trauma from our mamas, life choices we’re still unpacking, and pop culture chaos.
Raised on dial-up, reality TV, and emotional damage, this is just the continuation of the tradition.
Messy, caffeinated, unfiltered. New episodes every Monday.
