After weeks of nonstop travel, life finally slows down… sort of.

This week, Herm and Kristin share stories from an unforgettable Father’s Day that included their first real round of golf, a surprise karaoke night with a legendary “Karaoke Cowboy,” and the hilarious realization that today’s kids have turned annoying their parents into an actual trend called “rage bait.”

Along the way, they talk about learning new hobbies as adults, celebrating the little moments with family, surviving molten-hot pizza logs, and why parenting teenagers requires equal parts patience and humor.

Sometimes the best memories aren’t the big vacations—they’re the random nights that turn into unforgettable stories.

After a whirlwind few weeks of travel, concerts, road trips, college orientation, baseball, floating rivers, and realizing we’re definitely not as young as we used to be, we’re back with another chaotic life update.

This episode takes us from a VIP experience with rap legend Juvenile in Las Vegas to helping our oldest daughter prepare for college life at Texas State University. Along the way, we accidentally lose Gordy on a river float, survive a family road trip through Texas, revisit the Alamo, and continue learning what it means to navigate parenting in two completely different stages of life at the same time.

One kid is preparing to leave the nest.

The other is floating away down a river.

🎙️ After an unexpected break, Herm and Kristin are finally back behind the mic — and they’ve got a LOT to catch everyone up on.

From flying across the world to Paris with almost no sleep… to surviving Disneyland Paris corn dogs, graduation emotions, travel softball tournaments, career changes, and the reality of sending their oldest daughter off to college — this episode feels like sitting in the living room catching up with family.

There’s laughter, chaos, emotional moments, travel stories, Disney disappointments, proud parent moments, and the usual Herm’s House banter that somehow turns every life event into a comedy special.

⚡ One minute they’re discussing French museums and international food tours… the next they’re arguing about washing machines, periods, and whether Herm’s voice needs medical attention.

And honestly? That’s exactly what Herm’s House is supposed to be.
