It’s all fun and games until he doesn’t leave his wife. But don’t worry! Alex and Jon are still happily married. They do talk about what they would do if they ever got divorced.

65. Giving you gifts, shared bank accounts, and loser husbands
What should you get your best friend for their birthday? According to Jon: Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. In today’s episode, we’re talking MONEY, HONEY and the expectations surrounding gift giving. Jon gets pretty heated in this one, so you may want to lower the volume on your speakers. If you take one thing from this episode, it’s this: Do not buy Jon gifts. Ever.

64. Giving you sibling dynamics, inheritances, and baby names
“You know you’re adopted, right? I’m telling mom!” In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon discuss sibling relationships and how you can be best friends as kids and enemies as adults. Your “built-in best friend” doesn’t sound so great when they’re stealing your inheritance or picking the same baby names as you. People say Alex and Jon look like siblings and although they swear they’re “husband and wife”…it makes you think why they always argue…like children. 0:00 - Intro33:21 - I Want More Alone Time35:26 - Do I Need To Have Two Kids?39:37 - Siblings as Coworkers 41:41 - I’m Not Sharing My Inheritance46:33 - Can You Watch My Child?55:41 - My Brother Picked The Same Baby Name1:00:59 -The Craziest Alaskan Wedding1:05:03 - Oh Brother!
