https://www.itsmomoclocksomewhere.com/shop YouTube Episode Summary: From slutty costumes to snotty noses, this one’s for the moms who used to flirt with vampires and now fight their toddlers and husbands to take a cute pic at the pumpkin patch. In this episode, Em and Dom dive into the Pumpkin Patch Trap — the annual fall fantasy that always ends in sweat, tears, and a $14 donut. They’re comparing Halloween Then vs Now, confessing old costume crimes (yes, Em wore a strap-on in public and Dom once went full Black Swan), and exposing why every husband acts like he’s been drafted to war the second you say “family photo.” Grab your Stanley (or your spiked cider), lower your expectations, and laugh along — because Halloween used to be hot… now it’s just haunting.   Hashtags: #MomLife #Podcast #HalloweenEpisode #PumpkinPatch #MomHumor #ItsMomOClockSomewhere #FallChaos #PumpkinSpiceOrRedFlag   Episode Brought To You By: The Fortis Agency The Fortis Agency is a financial services firm located in the Bell Works building in Holmdel, NJ.

In this episode, Em and Dom dive into why date nights and couple getaways matter more than ever , even when the mom guilt hits hard and the suitcase feels like packing for a small army. They talk about the chaos before leaving, missing the kids mid-trip, and the magic of remembering who you are beyond “mom and dad.” Then, things get hilariously unhinged as they admit just how much ChatGPT has taken over their lives. From parenting hacks to planning vacations to asking robots the most absurd questions. It’s a mix of romance, reality, and a little AI-induced existential crisis , of course in Mom O’Clock style.   Episode Brought To You By: The Fortis Agency The Fortis Agency is a financial services firm located in the Bell Works building in Holmdel, NJ.

Money, marriage, and mayhem, welcome to the most chaotic finance class you never signed up for. In this episode, we ask: Do you actually know your spouse’s salary? Who’s really paying the bills? And what’s the deal with wills, life insurance, and joint accounts? Plus, Dom gets grilled in our game show “So You Married a Financial Advisor” and (shockingly) fails acronyms like a champ.

Making mom friends as an adult feels a lot less like happy hour and a lot more like awkward playground speed dating. In this episode, we dive into the hilarity and struggles of finding your “mom soulmate.” From asking for a number at the park (and totally sending the wrong vibe) to breaking down the types of moms you’ll meet, we cover it all. We create our own mom dating profiles, swipe left and right on questionable “mom traits,” and play a rapid-fire game of Mom Friend Red Flags—deciding which moms make the cut and which ones get blocked immediately.

https://www.itsmomoclocksomewhere.com/shop This week we’re laughing our way through every mom stereotype — from the Pinterest-perfect overachiever to the exhausted mom just trying to survive on cold coffee. But we’re also pulling back the curtain on something far more serious: Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, when caregiving takes a dark and dangerous turn. Equal parts comedy and conversation starter, this episode is a ride through the chaos, the clichés, and the cautionary tales of motherhood.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Technical Difficulties02:15 Mom Life: Challenges and Triumphs05:17 Reflections on Parenting Styles06:01 Documentary Discussion: Unknown Numbers09:05 Types of Moms: A Deep Dive12:11 Munchausen Syndrome and Its Implications14:56 The Role of Supportive Parenting17:56 Balancing Fun and Structure in Parenting19:49 Conclusion and Final Thoughts34:38 Outro

School’s back, summer’s gone, and moms everywhere are drowning in supply lists, balloon arches, and Target receipts while the dads vanish into golf tournaments and fantasy football group chats. In this episode, Emily and Dom break down the madness of back-to-school season: the Pinterest mom pressure, the drop-off fashion show archetypes, and why supply lists read like ransom notes. Titty E drops a back-to-school rap that every mom will feel in her soul, and Dom gets quizzed on golf to see if she knows anything about the sport her husband disappears for every weekend. Spoiler: she’s funnier than factual. From glue sticks to RedZone, this episode is chaos, comedy, and a reminder that at the end of the day, it’s always Mom O’Clock.   Chapters   00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 02:26 Back to School Emotions and Preparations 10:57 Back to School Chaos and Expectations 22:32 Social Media Influence on Parenting 28:40 Fall Season and Family Dynamics 31:03 Outro

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of a traumatic accident and themes of death. Please listen with care. This week we’re opening up about a life-changing experience that shook everything we thought we knew about motherhood, safety, and control. Em shares the raw story of witnessing a devastating accident — and how it forced her to confront her own mortality, intrusive thoughts, and the way becoming a mom makes every danger feel magnified.  But at the heart of it, this episode isn’t just about fear — it’s about perspective. About realizing how fragile life is, why being present matters, and how motherhood has taught us to find gratitude and humor even in the darkest moments.  If you’ve ever had those intrusive “what if” thoughts, felt the weight of mom anxiety, or needed a reminder to slow down and appreciate the messy miracle of being alive — this one’s for you.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Light Banter01:42 The Start of a Serious Conversation02:25 A Traumatic Incident Unfolds07:27 The Aftermath of the Accident13:57 Reflections on Life and Loss19:51 Dealing with Trauma and Intrusive Thoughts21:34 Confronting Mortality: A Personal Experience23:57 Reflections on Parenting and Life Choices25:04 The Weight of Life's Fragility27:17 Embracing Life: A Call to Action31:29 The Impact of Trauma on Perspective34:28 Navigating Fear and Anxiety43:54 Life is Precious: Lessons Learned48:06 Outro

This week, Dom and Emily try to figure out what life looks like after peaking with Snooki. From behind-the-scenes stories (like Snooki’s two-hour nap while Emily cracked crabs with her MIL and kids) to the “emotional hangover” of having a legit reality TV legend in their studio, the girls dive into what comes next They break down the chaos of post-vacation mom life (Legoland birthdays, stroller drama, and $16 poolside High Noons), roast Barstool’s live stream from the Jersey Shore house (“felt less like a rager and more like chaperoning prom”), and ask the hard question: has social media officially killed fun?  To top it off, Emily admits she’s stuck in the 2010s with her side part and mom-chop avoidance, chokers, and the golden era of Jersey Shore chaos. It’s part recovery, part crisis, and all chaos.

She’s here, she’s small, and she might black out — reality TV icon turned unfiltered mom, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, joins us for the most unhinged episode yet.

From TikTok DMs and thirst traps to Snapchat secrets and “gym friends,” we explore what cheating actually means in 2025.We break down emotional vs. physical betrayal, why boundaries matter before a blowup, and how monogamy has evolved.

Let’s talk about sex, baby …post-baby. In this episode of It’s Mom O’Clock we’re getting real (and a little uncomfortably honest) about what sex after marriage actually looks like. From dry spells and duty sex to mismatched libidos and hiding from your kids just to get 10 minutes alone — nothing’s off the table. Whether you’re scheduling intimacy like a dentist appointment or just trying to remember the last time someone touched your boob not looking for milk, this one’s for you. This one’s for every couple trying to find their way back to each other through the mess, the love, and the long haul.

This week, we’re unpacking the real summer survival kit — and no, it’s not sunscreen and beach towels (though, those help). We’re talking about the hacks, routines, and random little wins that are helping us keep our cool while school’s out and the chaos is in full swing.

You thought it was “Hot Mom Summer.” It’s actually “Mom, I’m hot. Mom, I need a snack. Mom, I’m bored.” We’re breaking down the chaos of summer with kids: vacations that aren’t vacations, swimsuit struggles, mom guilt, and why you need that iced coffee (or wine) just to survive the day.

Cribs, caddies, chaos — oh my. In this episode, Emily and Dom dive deep into the baby product jungle, exposing what’s worth the hype, what’s a complete scam, and what no one dares to put on a registry (peri bottles, we’re lookin’ at you). From holy grail lifesavers like the Baby Brezza and sound machines to total fails like wipe warmers and $80 trash cans for poop, they hold nothingback. Plus, it’s game time with “Buy It, Borrow It, or Burn It.” Spoiler: the wipe warmer didn’t survive.   Tagline: The only thing you really need? Sanity, caffeine, and friends who’ll tell you not to buy the Bumbo.

EPISODE 9: "When The Dads Got The Mic...And We Got Anxiety" In honor of Father’s Day, we handed the mics to our husbands… and instantly questioned our decision. Emily’s husband Joey (dad of 3 toddlers) and Dom’s husband Michael (first-time dad of a wild 15-month-old) get brutally honest about dad life — the wins, the fails, and the stuff they usually keep to themselves. From poop-stained shirts to secret late-night Google searches, they’re spilling it all: Who their favorite kid is (yep, we asked) Their biggest dad fails The unfiltered reality of parenting And why they love their crazy, chaotic wives.

We’re throwing it way back to the feral 90s—Dunkaroos, blacklight trauma on Room Raiders, and no helmets in sight—then fast-forwarding to today’s Gen Z madness, where kids speak in TikToks and need a trophy just for trying.

EPISODE RECAP: This week on It’s Mom O’Clock Somewhere, we’re recapping our very different experiences at the same wedding — because of course we didn’t live the same reality. SEGMENT 1: “Two Moms, Two Very Different Weddings” Emily was living her best kid-free, care-free, and mildly feral life — dancing, sleeping in, and finding love in… a janitor’s closet. Meanwhile, Dom brought Gio and tried to hand him off, but still heard phantom cries during the vows and stayed half-on-the-clock with a side of “false freedom.” SEGMENT 2: “Wine, Weddings, and Wondering Who’s Watching the Kids” We talk about drinking (mostly) guilt-free, trying to vibe like our pre-mom selves, and the kind of mom guilt that crashes the party like your ex who still wears Axe body spray. SEGMENT 3: “Post-Wedding Whiplash” Coming home slapped us with the mental load like a confetti cannon of chaos. Was the break even worth it?

Love languages before kids? Sexy, sweet, spontaneous. Love languages after kids? Sleep, solo Target trips, and someone else handling bedtime. In this episode, we break down how our romantic vibes turned into survival strategies—and why “folding the damn laundry” is hotter than foreplay these days. Touch me? Only if you’re holding snacks.
