Drying Golfballs with New Mom Sarah Tollemache

Parenting is a Joke

In this bite-sized podcast episode, Ophira Eisenberg and comedian Sarah Tollemache take a hilarious trip down memory lane, reminiscing about holiday shenanigans and the rollercoaster ride of parenting. They fondly recall the wild, unsupervised escapades of their childhood holidays, where the only rule was "don't break anything... especially yourself." Fast forward to today, and they marvel at how parenting has morphed into a high-stakes game of "Don't Let the Kids Out of Your Sight."

Together, they poke fun at the absurdity of striving for holiday perfection and champion the idea of keeping things simple. After all, the true spirit of the season isn't found in perfectly coordinated table settings or Instagram-worthy decorations, but in the belly laughs, the togetherness, and the love that fills the room—no matter how many times the dog knocks over the Christmas tree.
