Relatable with The Roses

Taylor Swift got married... and naturally, we have thoughts.
This week we're making our predictions about what we think one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the year looked like, reminiscing about our early days together, celebrating Grayson's first birthday, and introducing a new game to the podcast: Blind Ranking.
The rules are simple: you have to rank five things before you know what's coming next. The result? Some very questionable decisions... and a lot of laughing.
We also share our Good Week / Bad Week, including a surprisingly passionate debate over stolen deodorant, an unexpectedly wholesome moment with a stranger in London, and a more vulnerable conversation about our 14½-year-old dog, Alfie, as he prepares for surgery.
In this episode:
Our predictions for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding
Why Bradley would rather stay home than go to a music festival
Looking back on who we were when we first met
Celebrating Grayson's first birthday with family
The stranger who settled our "green shirt vs. yellow shirt" debate
Bradley's case against sharing deodorant (yes, really)
We try the viral Blind Ranking game for the first time
A heartfelt update on Alfie and why this week has been emotional for our family
If you've played Blind Ranking with your friends, send us your favorite category—we're already planning to bring it back.

This episode starts with public bathroom disasters... and somehow ends with one of the biggest conversations we've had as parents.
This week, we're talking about everything from British pigeons masquerading as owls, to why we're finally trying sleep training, to the question we've been quietly avoiding:
Should we have another baby?
It's honest, emotional, funny, and completely unresolved—which, honestly, feels pretty relatable.
In this episode:
Why we're finally giving sleep training a try (and why it took us so long)
Sophia's public bathroom nightmare involving Bradley's mum
Bradley discovers his lifelong "spirit animal" might actually be... a pigeon
The great British neighbor debate (and why Sophia completely ignored Bradley's advice)
Bradley's latest biohacking obsession and why he's comparing wearable health trackers
Whether only children really are different (Bradley has opinions...)
The practical vs. emotional debate around having a second child
Why we're genuinely not on the same page—and why that's okay
As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
If you've wrestled with the decision to have another child (or decided to stop at one), we'd love to know: How did you know?

This week on Relatable, we kick things off by admitting we may have forgotten to explain the entire premise of Love Is Blind before interviewing Kelly Chase. So, naturally, we attempt to correct the record.
Then, with the World Cup bringing more international attention to America, Sophia quizzes Bradley on some truly bizarre American things — from drive-thru funeral viewings and cheese in a can to deep-fried Coke, Bass Pro Shops, and whether the U.S. actually has a chance at winning the World Cup.
We also chat about Bradley’s first Father’s Day, paternity leave, cold plunging, Sophia’s postpartum hair update, motorbike chaos, and what happened when we started reading Reddit comments about Bradley.
In this episode:
Our Love Is Blind correction
World Cup fever in the Rose household
The American things Bradley cannot believe are real
Drive-thru funeral homes, deep-fried snacks, and Bass Pro Shops
Bradley’s first Father’s Day
Sophia’s six-month postpartum hair update
Reddit’s thoughts on Bradley Rose
Why loud motorbikes might be Bradley’s villain origin story
As always, it’s chaotic, honest, and exactly the kind of conversation you’d normally save for the group chat.

Love Is Blind fans (or the reality TV curious!), this one's for you.
This week we're joined by Kelly Chase from Season 1 of Love Is Blind for an honest conversation about what really happened behind the scenes of one of Netflix's biggest dating shows.
We talk about everything from the pods and producer influence to what it's actually like getting engaged to someone you've never seen before. Kelly also shares what wasn't shown on camera, what happened with Kenny after filming ended, and how the experience shaped her views on dating, love, rejection, and self-worth.
Whether you're a reality TV superfan or you've never watched an episode, this conversation is a fascinating look at what happens when real relationships collide with reality television.
In this episode:
How Kelly ended up on Love Is Blind
What dating in the pods is actually like
The role producers play behind the scenes
Whether the weddings are legally binding
What happened between Kelly and Kenny after filming
The emotional aftermath of reality TV
Why Kelly believes the experience changed her for the better
Reality TV myths, rumors, and secrets

This week we're talking about everything from Chloe's suspiciously accurate ability to know when we're coming home to Bradley's annual battle with hay fever.
We also revisit our thoughts on Stranger Things, debate whether emotional TV scenes are supposed to make you think about your spouse, and talk about a reel about fatherhood that unexpectedly got us both in our feelings.
Then for our main segment, we put our relationship to the test with questions we should absolutely know the answers to after 17 years together. 

Things like:

• What does Sophia actually do for a living?
• Why did Sophia grow up all over the world?
• What was Bradley's first job?
• Where do we each consider "home"?
• What did we want to be when we grew up?
Turns out some questions are a lot harder to answer than they should be.
