Watching the Olympics as an Adult Hits Different
 Remember when we were young and the Olympics were the gauntlet for super-star athletes and childhood heroes?  Not even realizing the peril of adulthood that would follow medal-less olympians, unaware of the international pay gap, and cardboard beds. Backseaters, our eyes have been opened and we can’t look away. Amidst these concerns, we also consider Target’s customer service decline, back-to-school shopping with your teens, a request for bad advise for reducing stress as a millennial parent, and a warm welcome to our new listeners that have joined us from Nateland’s world. We look forward to hearing more from you in the reviews, emails, and Facebook group.

The Nateland Crossover
 Hey Back Seaters and Hello Folks! This week we have a very special crossover episode of  Don't Make Me Come Back There and The Nateland Podcast. Dustin and Melissa Nickerson join the hosts of the Nateland Podcast on the new Nateland set in Nashville, Tennessee. Why the crossover episode, you ask? Because we're excited to announce that Don't Make Come Back There is becoming a part of Nate Bargatze's new media company Nateland Entertainment. Dustin, Melissa and the Nateland crew talk about what the big announcement means as well as delve into a fun discussion about parenting.

10 Days of Nateland
 What’s better than a date night pop in to a Nordstrom Rack, back seaters? That’s right, when it’s next to an IKEA. There’s nothing like the windowless, clockless, maze of interiors that really stirs up the romance, and we’re here for it! This week, we listen in awe as Mel shares about her flight with all 4 kids while Dustin leisurely scootered around Missouri State with the Nate Bargatze tour and Nateland crew. What happens when your kids invade your bed at night? The Nickerson’s share about their annual trip to Hope Heals, and more!

Please Stop the Middle School Graduations
 We’ve packed the water, snacks, and backup phone batteries, because while we love our children’s educational progress, there is simply no reason for arriving hours in advance for an hours long middle school graduation ceremony. Has the work even begun? While we wait, we discuss why we miss the Paw Patrol years, Mel’s 40th birthday surprise and what 40 feels like, our Joshua Tree National Park excursion, your horrible travel stories, more!

Fortnite & Minecraft Summers
 Get ready for a fun filled summer building questionable tree forts, riding your bike for miles beyond your neighborhood, playing in ravines, and defending yourself. At least that’s how it was in the 90’s, now summers are just skincare, screentime, and questioning the vibes. Dustin reminds us how we lived fortnite, why skincare should be banned on TikTok, summer ideas for your kids, proper concert etiquette, why movies are too expensive and much more.
