Breaking Down Skibidi Toilets with Wendy & Lizzie Molyneaux

In this snack-sized episode, Ophira Eisenberg sits down with comedy writers Wendy and Lizzie Molyneux, the creative forces behind Bob’s Burgers and The Great North. The sisters open up about the controlled chaos of parenting large families while balancing successful careers in animation. Wendy, a mom of four, and Lizzie, a mom of three, discuss household rules that almost work, from no iPads during the week to family dinners free of devices. The conversation takes a hilarious turn into the absurdities of modern parenting, including the inexplicable popularity of Skibbity Toilet videos and how kids find the weirdest ways to express themselves. They share how their childhood in a semi-feral but structured household shaped their humor and creative collaboration. The sisters also reflect on letting kids be their wonderfully bizarre selves while figuring out how to guide them through a screen-heavy world. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!

Om Podcasten

You know when you talk to your friends about your childhood and end it by saying, "But look at us, we're fine!" Here's my question: Are we fine? Because we're sitting here doused in CBD oil under a weighted blanket recording a podcast called Parenting is a Joke. Each week, host and standup Ophira Eisenberg talks to a different comedian about their career and their kids. Conversations tackle the tooth fairy, eating sticks, summer camp anxiety, the hidden horrors of childbirth, and the obvious horrors of our own childhoods. We celebrate the absurdity of shuffling a career with raising a kid, and highlight less traditional parenthood journeys, all while relishing in the fact that no one knows what they're doing, but we're all trying! Sometimes even our best. New episodes every Tuesday. New Season October 1st.
