    2024/08/29

    In this episode of The Jigsaw Podcast, your favorite Casanegros dive into the unspoken truths about adulting that no one really prepared us for. From the shock of endless monthly bills (realizing “We Got McDonald's at Home” is more than a saying) to discovering that free time is a myth and weekends have morphed from carefree fun to errand marathons, they unpack the realities of grown-up life. They also explore the physical changes — mysterious aches, slower metabolisms, and bodies that don’t bounce back like they used to — and the challenges of maintaining friendships and navigating family dynamics. With a blend of humor and honesty, Josh and Bryan share how they plan to be more transparent with the next generation about the highs and lows of adulthood, offering a real, relatable look at the unexpected parts of growing up. Also, how did things work out with Kyle, Jasmine, and Nina? Let’s find out.
