That's right, we're still here and we're just getting started. Listen along as we break down the newly proposed $3.5 billion dollar social spending bill, our deep thoughts on Sesame Street, why Rachel is nominated Joe Rogan to be the face of male birth control and this year's worst "sexy" Halloween costumes. We wrap up by revisiting the OG segment "Rachel Learns the News". And yes, we know you're curious. . . Jonah is in tow. Stay Listening. 

House Rules with Alex Gettlin & Rachel LaForce

S3E2: Sesame Street, The Social Spending Bill, & Why Joe Rogan Should Be The Face Of Male Birth Control

WE MADE OUR WAY BACK BABY! It’s Season Three and we have a baby! Jonah’s in studio with us and makes his verbal debut; we’re not joking. Join us as we walk through ten of the biggest headlines from the past three months all to realize, we somehow missed everything while simultaneously- we missed nothing. Is life an assimilation?! Season three is gonna be wild! Stay listening!

S3E1: WE'RE BACK BABY!

Well, after 10 long months, we’ve made it. Hear about our last week and why you should high-five every pregnant person you see. And in case you’re worried we’ve gone soft, don’t be. We touch on the military industrial complex! Listen up for Rachel’s Rant on our country’s pandemic amnesia, Alex’s frustration with our “government” and why we love Georgia Senator, Stacey Abrams. Stick around for some light banter on why porn is unrealistic, Alex’s love of JK Simmons and our hot take on Chris Pratt’s new movie, The Tomorrow War. See you next week. We’ll be parents!!!--

S2E25: BABY WATCH 2021

Well, hello July! Our son is due this week and Alex is hoping for a Fourth of July birthday as he’s in full swing for Hot Dad Summer. This week we’re dishing on the sign that ruined The Tour De France, why the comments section is the real “swamp”, Alex and Rachel’s childhood celebrity crushes and why Joey Fatone is the for sure the best boy band hang. Lastly, Alex shares about a “How To Make Him Fall In Love With You Quicker” workshop (that’s right, it’s a real thing) + why Bosch is the greatest series on Amazon. See you next week! 

S2E24: Hot Dad Summer

Friends! Rachel is 39.5 weeks pregnant and Alex is also tired. This week we’re talking tiny houses, Jonah’s long awaited arrival, the magic of women’s bodies (legit, shocked they can do what they do), Rachel shares she’s rewatching Nashville + why she’s always been destined to shine in her 40’s. Alex breaks down why Krystal and Sagar’s show, Breaking Points has been so successful. This spawns a classic LaForce/Gettlin debate around “politics” and the actual threat that social media poses on our “democracy”. Our current reality goes beyond Red Team or Blue Team and it’s time we all start waking up.  Too much for a Monday? Happy Listening! --

S2E23: 39 Weeks, Subway Tuna + The Power of Social Media

It’s getting weird friends. This episode we’re coming to you live, from our bed. Literally. Rachel is 38 weeks pregnant and thriving? Alex walks us through his newest list of “Three Things He’s Loving” and together they nerd out over Comedian, Bo Burnham’s newest Netflix special, INSIDE. Rachel and Alex talk the future of mass scale news, their predictions and why they revere the independent news show, Breaking Points. Oh yeah, and they’re son Jonah is weighing in at 9 lbs. Send thoughts and prayers. Lolz. Happy Listening!

S2E22: Bo Burnham, Breaking Points + A Big Baby

This is the episode that came before the last episode. We said what we said. 

S2E21: The Episode That Came Before The Last Episode

It’s our last episode in studio for awhile #newparents as we venture into the unknown! Don’t worry, we’ll still dropping new episodes each week + as soon as we’re ready, we’ll be back with bells on! Ok, down to business! This episode is actually breaking down last week’s episode; which is coming out after this episode. Have we lost you? Listen along and you’ll see what we mean. It’s like Memento but with podcasting + #woke culture. Happy Listening! 

S2E20: #NewParents

We’re keeping it light, which means y’all know we’re circling back to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict for a brief follow up. Rachel shares why even Tucker Carlson would do better job as governor than human salamander, Gavin Newsome. Alex challenges Rachel on what it really means to live in a #patriaricalsociety AND! We think we can all agree bowing is a far superior salutation than the Covid friendly, “foot tap”. We know, all of this at an hour? You’re welcome. 

Infographics, Newsome’s Recall + why ‘bowing’ is superior

Call this one, a little palate cleanser. Don't say we never did anything for ya! Rachel and Alex run the gambit in this bonus episode. From ranting about the differences between a joke writer and a comedian, why SNL can't compete with the internet, to why watching Bill de Blasio "eat" Shake Shack is the strangest way to encourage folks to get vaxxed. 2021 proves life is literally what you make it. (Are we positive this isn't assimilation? Asking for a friend) #blessings

S2E18: Comedy FOMO, Bill de Blasio + Shake Shack

In a world full of infographics and media that gets off on presenting narratives in as many ways as a kaleidoscope; Alex and Rachel sit down for a very real, unfunny conversation about the history and nuances of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. This conversation is in no way meant to be an end-all, be-all. It's simply a slice of life offering of one perspective in the sea of perspectives. And it must clearly be 2021 that we have to even give a disclaimer. #guccigang

S2E17: The Israeli/Palestinian Conflict (This episode is not funny. You've been warned.)

Friends, are y’all exhausted too? Between the yelling mob that is social media, our newly found obsession with telling each other what is “right”; our current culture can only be best described as ‘a dog pile’. Between Gavin Newsome running unopposed from other Dems (boooo!!) to the now more than ever performative nature from our government and the powers that be; it really is true what Billy Shakes said, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women are nearly players”. Happy listening! --

WHY SO SERIOUS?!! (Yes, in the tone of the Joker)

It’s our last episode here in rainy Atlanta as we head back to LA. We’re soon to be parents and we’re already tired but we’re revved up today; because ya know, the internet. As we hit a slump in vaccination numbers, fear and clickbait have hit the interwebs and folks are losing their damn minds YALL! We dive in as we talk “growth edges” and why we as humans aren’t “all knowing”. We wrap with why Will Smith is the best social media follow. Hunker down + listen up! --

America is Not the Comments Section

It’s week two of our time in Georgia and we’re already wiped! Join us as we talk through The Oscars and discuss their relevance in our society, and what The Sound of Metal is really about. Alex brings up Only Fans and we talk through what this means for us as a society. Honorable mentions for this episode go to Will Smith’s Instagram, Sports Illustrated model, Hunter McGrady and The New York Post for their “articles”. This is a fun one. Happy Listening! 

THE OSCARS ARE OUT + ONLY FANS IS IN

Happy 4/20 to those who celebrate and a warm hello to those who have no idea what that means! We’re a day late; and years underslept, but we’re here and we’re happy. We recorded this from Rachel’s childhood kitchen table on and today is the release of our long term project alongside the wonderful folks over at Wikileaf.com - Highly Unlikely! Today we talk through what the experience of bringing this idea to life has been and dive into a few fun Internet “news” stories. If you’re looking for easy listening; this is it! -- To check out everything 'Highly Unlikely' click HERE
