Episodes
The Dastardly Scrolling Device
Every parent's nemesis: the smartphone. Is it making our kids smarter? Come to think of it, what a genius marketing idea labeling it a "smart" phone. We think it's making our kids dumber indeed. Well, at least dumber in the human sense. Scary stats: 4 hours a day of scrolling equals to 60 days of your per year. What can, should we do about this as parents? ALL answers welc
Gas Price and How to Build a Million Dollar Booty
A bit of a Ceko golf update and Josh admitting that he's a card carrying member of the Impulsive Dads Who Care Too Much Anonymous group. Jo says he's simply a good dad. Then we move on to giving our take on the economy. Why? Because we talk about what affects us on the daily. It's important because it shapes who we are and how we are to others around us. BONUS: Tips from Josh on fi
Death of the Third Place - Get Out There, People!
First things first --- Josh is asking if 1 pint of ice cream equals one serving (because he just ate half of a pint and wondered about keeping his girly figure (haha)! Let us know what you think! In this episode: a bit of exciting update on Ceko's big championship win; and, the DEATH of the Third Plyace. 1st place is your home. 2nd is your workplace. 3rd are the cafes, bookstores, bars, a
Men Seeking Older Women Alert!
According to dating app managers, there's been an uptick of young men EXCLUSIVELY looking for older women to date. Specifically, men in their late 20s through 30s have felt the anxiety and financial burden women in the same age group are demanding. So many questions! Have women pigeon holed themselves and may also date older women? Are middle aged women loving this? Is this just a momentary
DUIs, Tigers, Draft Kings, Oh My!
Unless you live under a rock, you've heard about Tiger's most recent driving mishap. 8 hours in the drunk tank (allegedly) was hopefully time used to think about how much he values his life and the life of others around him when he's behind the wheel of a car. Let's get it together, Tiger! So many folks root for you. Okay, forget about everyone else, you've got kids who look
Seasonal Affective Depression at its "Peak"y
(background muzak "here comes the sun," Please!!)We're all sick of it. Winterbirds, skiers, mountaineers, whatever, even THEY are over it. It's been a long icy, rough, and too much time stream video binging. We're all ready to put on the bikinis and speedos and get some sunshine! What do you do to beatthis? Watch Peaky Blinders and rank who the hottest and craziest girlfrie
Relationship Maintenance and, by the way, Jo is Grudgey
Beyond the sexy stuff in the bedroom, what are the ways both or throuples or quads maintain a strong bond emotionally and mentally? It's a lot of necessary work! However, if you've found your match, it is worth it. Josh and Jo found common ground in saying that GROWTH is key. It doesn't have to be at the same time or the same pace, but all sides have to try. POD CONFESSION! Jo, as muc
A Hard No From Josh on a Couples Communication Style
The stylistics of a YouTuber couple is driving Josh absolutely nuts! I mean, it's really pissing him off! Go to "at" relationships withaly on YouTube and check it out for yourself. Jo doesn't buy it. If I ever meet a couple that speaks to each other like this, I would be running for the hills. So why do some think it's "healthy," or "admirable?" We supp
Dumb Things People Say and a Lotta Banter
Speedos or trunks? Find out what Josh wears when wading in the water... And, a pet peeve of Jo's - why oh why do people say things in public and then run away from the consequences? While it's untimely (due to our engineer getting sick again), we do talk about the world famous Saratoga Springs Chowderfest prep... yes. It's World Famous because in our world, it just is. Stay warm ever
Super Bowl Halftime Show - A Boom or Bust?
Lots of emotions here about the overly-talked about Super Bowl half time show. Upon reflection, Jo is reacting with intense emotion while Josh takes a practical approach. Jo's feelings about it may be controversial but hear her out! All in all, have any halftime shows been amazing? Let us know your thoughts!
POWER Dynamics in Relationships
Josh and Jo can't believe this has not been covered in depth! Power. Dynamics. Relationships. It's so basic yet so complicated. How important is this? Should one person have more or less at all times? Sometimes? Then there's AI relationships. It's happening folks! Are we for it or against it? AAAHHH! so much to deal with to have a lil' company and warm body around. Jo
Fun Fun Fun With Flight Attendants as Guests
Once in a while we bring on our favorite listeners. Well, folks, this was a FUN one! Joining Josh and Jo are 3 professional ladies who are flight attendants for a private company. They share what they do in-flight (is it gourmet meals or fast food?), what they do in between flights, how passengers treat them and some of the most annoying and crazy experiences. And, of course, Josh and Jo have no
Greenland, ICE, and Other HOT Topics
Josh and Jo engage in a candid discussion about current events, particularly focusing on the political climate surrounding law enforcement and protests. They reflect on personal experiences, societal issues, and the influence of media on public perception. The conversation also touches on the controversial proposal regarding Greenland and its implications, as well as broader themes of human behavi

Our hot takes in response to questions from our listeners. So, as the years go by, we'd like to know if you think we are we getting smarter, less smart, or wiser? Bring it on!

Josh and Jo / Ceko Sezz Podcast Mash Up
What a fun mash up of Ceko Sezz and Josh and Jo Podcasts! This was so much fun... Ceko and his dad in North Carolina for a big tourney and Jo in New York braving the cold. It's all about their favorite moments traveling together, how they prepared to golf in 37 degree weather, and just lots of questions from Jo about what happens inside a the head of a young but very accomplished golfer. We ho

In this episode of the Josh and Joe podcast, hosts Jovita Wenner and Joe discuss various themes surrounding aging, relationships, and personal reflections. They share their thoughts on the impact of loneliness in older age, the importance of community, and the value of family connections. The conversation also touches on skiing adventures, cultural perspectives on aging, and the legacy one leaves
Reflecting Rejection
The gig is up. It's Jo's achilles heel, her nightmare, her trauma, and nemesis. The depths of this only came to her consciousness after the last several pods. She decided to take this head on and talk about it. As for Josh, well, he balances out Jo's experience by going through life without too much experience with the R word. HHmmpphh. A few can be so lucky! Despite their differin
The Ex Files Episode
Take a listen to hear how Josh and Jo treat their EXes, what they do, what they don't do, how they treat the ex, and how they move on. What's YOUR style?
HeLL-icopter Parenting?
Top 3 favorite topic: our children and parenting in this age of social media, craziness, and all the other landmines. Have we been good parents by not being helicopter parents or should we buy ourselves some aircraft gear and become one? Helicopter parents get a bad rap but is it really bad?
Marathon Pod Part Trois! And, Sex in your teens, 20s, 30s and beyond
We're still going! We compare and contrast what sex meant to us, how it was, and was it any good? in our teens, 20s, 30s, and beyond (far beyond in our case!). Would we do anything different? What do we miss most about those early emotions? What would we have liked more? Come take a journey through time with us and let us know if it was the same or not for you!
The Faux Gag Revisited... And Is Emotional Cheating
Since we didn't forewarn our audience, it's worth mentioning that in the previous episode, "faux gag," was introduced. So if you missed it... REWIND! Big topic for Jo -- emotional cheating. She says, "It's so real." Josh surprises her and has a less harsh take than she thought. Not a fan of the overuse of the word "cheating," but it it's clear that it
Halloween episode-ish! And a Seggxiting Lightning Round!
As we prepare for Halloween 2025, we talk clowns, spiders and fears! Then, true to form we transition to fun and sexy Q and As... there's some zingers here, folks, so have fun! And Happy Halloween!
Ceko update, Fan Misbehavior, and WHY DO WE STAY?!
First, Josh's favorite topic: Ceko update! Followed by a discussion poor fan behavior ending in beer cans in the air. And, about a question that haunts Jo daily: WHY DO WE STAY?! Josh was on a roll answering this question. The 80% clean eating has resulted in crystal clear thinking out of Josh. Jo's taking notes.
Legendary Sexy Moments and Hot Tubs
Enough with the politics and true to their humor and fascination with all things relationships... In semi rapid fire form, Jo asks questions about se*-sions, places it's done and positions. Because? Why not. These may work for you or may not. Regardless, it's a beautiful day for a good laugh and light-hearted entertainment!
Confessions Of Hotel Escapades
Hotels... Airbnbs... do they get you in the mood for naughty behavior? And lots of other discussion topics for our listener travelers! Bon voyage!
Let Them Eat Cancel Culture!
Okay, that only marginally makes sense... just like this topic. From our perspective, the cancel culture is overdone, overbaked, and everything else in between. As bona fide members of the broadcasting industry (haha), we believe we have a dog in this fight. You may be surprised that Jo is not a fan of Jimmy Kimmel getting canceled. It's not just about her law degree and taking the oath to s
Let Them Theory Debunked?
Mel, we're sorry not sorry. Jo was pretty all in with the Let Go theory and was a Mel-iever... until Josh peeled off a layer of the onion and called it passive aggressive. Big head THUMP on the table. Hear out Josh. He listened, researched and though not an expert, he makes a good case for NOT letting go. But can we sell 6 million copies of a book about it? Probably not.
Woke Too Far or Not Far Enough?
Once in a while we discuss topics that touch on all of it - culture, politics, trends, important to some, not important to others. Some of this may be viewed as controversial beyond the fact that - NEWSFLASH: Josh and Jo DO NOT always get along or see eye to eye (not, it's not about our 4 feet of height difference!). Through this pod discussing topics that are sensitive to some, we prove that
Golf dad, golf life! And Random Answers
As Josh's whirlwind golf summer with Ceko comes to a close, this episode gives you the inside scoop into his world as Jo asks him sneaky questions that bridges silliness with realities of life. Happy almost end of summer, folks. Enjoy the daylight during the evening hours as much as you can!
UberSpecial Guest and... the One and Only Kitty!
Wait for it.... who's our most precious guest EVER? You'll have to listen. You'd know if you opened up recent newspaper because he's a local celebrity! And, PRICELESS moments with Kitty. We love you, Kitty! And, there's more! Emotional wallets (what to keep and when to pull it out) and lightning round questions that simply, and always, end up being another Pod topic because
The 14-Year-Old Me
Josh and Jo explore what they would say to their 14-year-old self. Ceko at the age of 14 is very different than 14-year-old Josh and Jo. Now that they're on the other side of half a century, they ask, "what would we have done differently?" Some are fun, some are serious and, as always, we are honest about our mistakes and quest for human improvement via our own children... What woul
Answering Questions About Romance and Life Itself
We're no experts but we play one on podcasts! Josh and Jo answer questions about romance and life and share their own experiences which we hope you find insightful. We're still just figuring it out but we've come a long way baby!
Growth is Hard Work
Growing personally, physically, emotionally, and all the rest is HARD WORK! It takes desire, patience, time, energy... and it's all worth it. How have you grown in your own life? Do share as we do in this episode. Watching Ceko grow several inches this past year and also into an athlete with a specific goal has been enriching and it made Jo feel introspective, hence, pushing this conversatio
The Art of the Apology
Josh and Jo apologize that out of the hundreds of topics they have addressed, this one never really came up. Looking through archives now to confirm! Well, none exactly like this one. Apologizing, good; disingenuous ones, bad. What's your apology style? Let us know!
Perineum Sunning and Other Libido Glow Ups
How do we know it works? We're talking about healthy habits to help increase your libido. It's responsible, it makes sense and it could be fun so give it a try!
He Married Me Then Ran Away With My Cousin
Whatttt?! Okay, that's Jo's knee jerk reaction to a supposedly a true story Jo read in an article. Josh's reaction is to be expected as he always roots for people finding true connection and wishes for the universe to just accept it for what it is. That's nice, Josh, but Jo has a BIG problem with a person who dates that same person's relative. It feels like a betrayal, she
I Said I Love You, Now Don't Be a Turd!
Josh in his element discussing the benefits, pitfalls, and the beautifulness of saying the words, "I Love You." Jo is buying into his definition and reasons for saying those words. Are you the kind that says it too fast in a romantic relationship? Do you wait until the other person says it? Have you ever regretted saying or not saying those three words? Come and explore our thoughts w
Pet Peeves in the Sex Arena
Back by popular demand, women share their pet peeves in the sexual milieu. Apparently, there's a lot! And, a bonus never-before-heard Josh experience that warranted introspection and inspection. Was it a prevention strategy or simply a preference? What say you?!
It's the Pet Peeves Episodes!
Josh and Jo reveal what gets under their skins, the go-no go habits we assess, and points of no return when faced with OMG moments with prospects. And, yikes, it gets a little graphic in the middle of this pod (for us to say that is surprising so it MUST be!), but of course, it's always somewhat balanced and funny. Enjoy it on this rainy weekend!
Flirty or Standoffish on a Date?
Josh and Jo tackle questions on how to set boundaries on dates. The question asked is how to have the upfront conversation on sex and expectations in a way that keeps things light and clear. Josh's take is consistent and Jo's may surprise you a little. A little bonus, too, from Jo who had an experience with the guy setting boundaries on the first date... hmmm... can you guess why?
Tackling Listenership Questions
In this episode, Josh and Jo tackle questions gathered from our listeners. From issues with connecting with a partner to how to deal with a jealous boyfriend... we have answers for you to ponder! Keep those questions coming! We're here.
The Philosophy of Friendships
A little bitty on Ceko because we were fresh from a Ceko Sezz pod recording. Then Josh and Jo revisit his views on the importance of keeping your friend circle small and tight. The "why" is an important discussion point. This topic will most likely have a part 2... or not...
The PODdest of Them All!
In our thirst for knowledge and exploration for different views, resident podsters named Josh and Jo go over their favorite podcasts which consumes their free and multi-tasking moments. Try some of these recommendations, and perhaps gain deeper knowledge and understanding of topics we care about.
The Travel Episode
Where have Josh and Jo been?! We highlight the most fun, the best destinations, the most exotic cities and countries... it's our version of Where's Waldo! Also a little bit on our ongoing quest to connect with our parents as we work against a generational thing and a vastly different form of communication. With a little bit of grace and more patience, perhaps one day we will bridge the ga
Ribbed, Twisted, Condoms, Oh My!
In the world of condoms, none are lesser experts. It's simple,, it's plastic... some are made of organic material (we really don't care to dive into THAT)... and yet so many confusing choices can be found on the shelves. Jo said, "Safety first, that's what I care about. " Josh has gone shoppin'. How do we know this? Because I got a text with a pic of Magnums just a f
A Hard On for AI
It's all about Artificial Intelligence! Josh doesn't get to excited about much, but boy has AI been at the top of his list! Jo is naturally prevention-minded and has hesitations but will quickly get over it after this conversation. Much like social media, Uber, Door Dash and other apps, AI is very much part of our lives. Take a tour of this topic with Josh, our resident AI expert and let
A How To On Intimacy
Intimacy is fun. It requires exploration, building, confidence, trust, out-of-the-box thinking, vulnerability, sharing, and could be loads of fun. Try it with Josh and Jo!
Sexual Communication 101
It's so basic but so important. We both stress the importance of consent at all levels. Take a listen as Josh navigates raising a teenager while Jo says, "Thank god I survived and over that phase..." Between two people who are in an intimate relationship, it is important to be open when you get to the trust phase. That and a whole much more on this topic... so thank you for listeni
LIVE from Captiva Island!
As Josh becomes CaptivaTED by the islands in SW Florida, Jo's butt is still freezing in this NY tundra. Enough about me... Josh tells us all about the islands, new experiences and new friends. Let's all live vicariously through him in the next 29 minutes for the inaugural "Jo Size Pods."
Ceko and other worldly updates!
We're back on the horse! Take a listen as Josh proudly gives us inside info on Ceko, we discuss the digital world around us, and... how did we get on the topic of what to do to get laid? I'll have to review the transcript...
Two Great Friends Talking
Bush lyrics worth noting: "The only way out is through." This is about one friend leading another, in a meaningful way, to unlock. Thank you for listening.
Meet Saratoga's Own Caitlin!
Whether it's all things Saratoga happenings, real estate and the dating scene, Caitlin's got a good handle on the topic. Take a listen perspective and thoughts through the eyes of someone not quite as old as Josh and Jo! P.S. No, you didn't miss an episode. Minor, unplanned hiatus but we're coming back strong!
Prostate Orgasms and Men-Oh-Pause
This one is all over the place but not really. Jo's learning new things and Josh is educating Jo what menopause entails. Just another day at the office...
Threesome Much?
They say one is a lonely number so what does that make three or four? If we were to guess, the majority of adults have either participated in one or, at the very least, thought about it. There's so many angles to this topic that there may be a part 2. How's that for a teaser?
A Boudoir Photo Experience and Dating in Later Years
Completing the earlier boudoir pod theme, our cool guest, Carrie, shares her experience being photographed by Chris Connelly of Albany Boudoir Photography (google him to contact!). It's both a fun and meaningful conversation and we're just lucky she was willing to share. Josh is 98% convinced he will pose for a session soon! Also, as hosts and guest who are on the other side of 50, we reflect on t
Newly Single Again? This One's For You
Michelle with two Ls is back with us. Her physical journey has ended and emotional attachments subsiding. Now comes the, "What now?," questions. Walk with us through this conversation and have a little fun like we did. Happy Gobble Gobble Day to all!
Screw the Death Scroll
In his quest for self-betterment and simply out of curiosity, Josh has given up Death Scrolling (not that he did it that much) and instead focuses on microlearning. Whether it's podcasts on gum health or the micro and macro results of our primal intuitions, he's feeding his brain and it's feels good. We hope that between our attempts at being funny, hot takes and innuendos of the sexy kind, our li
Porn Poll : People Watch it A LOT!
This is old skool Josh and Jo because we're talking about pornography. The stats, different perspectives from a sex therapist, porn actors, a psychiatrist who specializes in addictions and a popular podcaster who may be calling for a porn ban. Of course we go "deep" and talk about personal preferences :-). Take a listen because we guarantee it's funner than today's politics!
P Diddy and Politics. You May Want to Skip This One
Josh and Jo discuss headlines including the P. Diddy allegations and America's two Presidential candidates. Admittedly, you may want to skip this episode but we hope you do not because there are funny and thought provoking moments coming you way! We do promise that next week it will be light and pornofunny...
Josh Leveling Way Up on Nutrition
Soooo important info alert! Join us as Josh talks about the life transforming nutrition choices he recently made and how it has affected his life. From the daily, intentional food planning, lots of trips to the grocery store, clearing out his pantry at the beginning of his journey and the resulting health benefits INCLUDING the elevated libido, we hope that you can feel a little more informed and
Cuffing. It's better than you think.
Exploring the world of cuffing and segwaying into a discussion about therapy yet Josh and Jo still find a way to make fun of ourselves and have fun doing it. Happy FALL weekend, everyone! Next up -- Five for Fighting (where Josh may have been caught fighting to get our of there...). Jo's gonna get the scoop.
Defining Success With Josh and Jo
A take on the meaning of success in life, friendships, family profession and... romantic relationships. Does it change as we get older? How does having fun play into it? Take a listen and we hope you find your own definition and achieve it!

20 Questions with Josh and Jo!
Well, maybe not 20 questions but they're softballs, thoughtful ones, and of course, FUN! Enjoy and thank you always for listening! Shout out to our favorite flight attendants in the sky!
Finding Peace in a Boudoir
Etymology. from French boudoir "lady's dressing room," literally, "a place to sulk," from bouder "to sulk." After a happenstance meeting, Josh and Jo tee up boudoir photographer, Brienna, for a fun and intimate conversation on the origin of her business life. Brienna so refreshingly surprised both of us with her story of how signing up for a boudoir photo session
Eject Us From This Election!
Last minute pod and caught up in a world of events and emotions, Josh and Jo talk about the new lobster rolls at the Owl, a very cool Blink-182 concert, a whirlwind of election topics, and catching Josh in an unusually low mood which is very much NOT often! Thanks for sticking with us as we navigate through the summer's hottest topics!
Parenting the Male Gender/Redefining Masculinity
In "A Diary of a CEO" podcast, Steven Bartlett discusses how his upbringing shaped his approach to his relationships, dating styles and what he refers to toxic masculinity. As parents to teen and adult males, Josh and Jo discuss how they approached raising their own sons, the difficulties along the way as they fight the social norms and the culture they grew up in. They work hard and cha
Independent Day All Day
Folks if there's one thing we truly try to be is to be INDEPENDENT thinkers. To truly be one, and we define being independent as judgment unaffected by society's perspective and thoughts, it takes time, energy, lots of research, reading and self reflection. In his youngeryears, Josh, wished he was wired less hot and didn't spend so much time pursuing "sextracurricular activities,&
Trump and Biden Golf, Handicaps and Yikes!
Oh no they did not! But, they did. It would be irresponsible for us to at least touch on this topic, especially when we have a resident former pro-golfer on the team. What's Josh's take on their claims of being club champions and having a 6 (or was it 8?) handicap? A question for America: Can't we do better than these candidates and are they our two final choices?! The debate after
Totally Unscripted
A short, but fun episode! Josh shares recent experiences and self-revelations. How did he handle a power outage during Belmont, one of the biggest events this year? He took a nap (wait, what?)! Enjoy this short, but lively episode as we go on full on summer mode.
Breaking Up is Hard to Do. Or Is It?
Our brave guest, Michelle with to Ls, has finally done it. She broke up with her long-time boyfriend. We can all agree that some relationships are difficult to end and Michelle is sharing her years long struggle with her situation. How did she do it? What conversations did she have with herself? These are just some of the questions Josh asked her more articulately than Jo did. What does the a
Boundaries, please!!
Have you ever felt like your personal space has been violated? By a parent? Friend? Or, the most confusing one, by a former partner of your current partner? (Okay, that was a mouthful!). Josh and Jo discuss where their boundaries are and aren't and suggestions on what to do when someone crosses them.
Burning Questions Answered
Josh and Jo take listernership questions. Some naughty; some nice. Keep them coming because we always try our best!
Have we become Social Mediots?
Have you ever been unfriended or unfollowed on social media? Does it bother you? "WHY," Josh asks, should it matter? Has Jo become a social meDIOT? Perhaps for a moment, she admits. In this episodes, Josh and Jo discuss how social media has or should not ever have entered our psyches and the good, the bad and the ugly of it all. (P.S., did we just make up a new term?!)
Are We Wasting Away Thinking Too Much About Getting Laid?
We tried. We really tried to create a more academic pod, but I think we have way too much fun digressing. In all seriousness, the question we ask once in a while is, are we doing the right thing when we spend more than 10... 25... or more percent of our time trying to get laid? Could we use that time more productively? Admittedly, this pod is all over the place but if you look real hard, all the
Big Sur, Butt Plugs and the Bodyshop
While in hiatus, Josh and Jo pursued their choice of leisure experiences. Josh adventured into Big Sur, hiked mountains, and soaked in the view of turquoise waters and endless coves. Jo went to Montreal and explored a different kind of peaks and valleys. [Insert "hmmm" emoji here.] We hope you enjoy this hilarious podcast because we had a great time making it all the way to the very end
Don't Let Anyone Dull Your Shine!
Heavy on Jo's mind is the reality that many of us allow friends, partners, even family take our shine away. If you're happy and fun (and you know it clap you hands - haha) but for whatever reason, you're spending time with someone that drains your battery. Josh's take: look in the mirror and tell yourself, "Run!" We know, we know, it's especially difficult to leave
Sex Workers and NFL Players
Josh and Jo ponder if there is a difference. We think sex workers get a bad rap when athletes also use their bodies to earn money. We don't have the answers but we promote the idea that if someone chooses a vocation such as featuring themselves on MyOnlyFans, there ought not to be judgment or stigma. Thoughts?
