She's baaaaack... and this time, she's a REAL AUTHOR (just in case you, like Michelle Icard herself, didn't believe that until this time around).

On this episode of "Date Night with Jake and Page" Michelle joins your hosts to discuss her THIRD BOOK, "8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success." They discuss the reframing of the word, "failure," which middle school archetype each person was in middle school...

If Valentine's Day to you means more a love of laughter than of romance, then the Fehlings are your V-Dday huckleberries. Join Jake and Page as they discuss Jake's love of gifts (but not thoughtful ones), what "cuffing season" means to old (yet freaky?) people, and why creating your own (ab)normal really does apply to EVERYTHING.

On this episode of “Date Night with Jake and Page,” your hosts sit down with Brad Panovich, Chief Meteorologist for WCNC in Charlotte.

A self-proclaimed weather and science geek, you ca...

If you pay even the slightest bit of attention to the news in Charlotte then you already know Joe Bruno. Joe is one of Charlotte's most well-known and well-respected journalists. Liz Egan Bruno (current audio/video producer... but we're not convinced her goal of being on SNL is yet out of reach) is quite possibly the only human who can keep up with him. Together the Brunos are the first Date Night guests to (almost) beat Jake and Page in a tall-off. *cumulative gasp* The two couples discuss how ...

Please help us welcome Jenn and Miles Andrews to Date Night! They showed up with cans of Middle James Brewing's Hops on One Leg IPA, which was a great start, but more on that later... Jenn and Miles came HIGHLY recommended as guests. We polled our social media and got several requests to have them on. This was followed by Jenn introducing herself to Jake at a Panthers game and passing along some swag for her foundation. Once we heard her story, we had to have them on. Some back story: Jenn was g...

You know the brand Mignonne Gavigan for the stunning jewelry and equally stunning model who's the face of the brand. But did you know that stunning face belongs to the founder herself? On this episode of "Date Night with Jake and Page," Page, Jake and "Maggie," as her friends call her (or, "Me-YONE" if you're Jake, trying [poorly] to pronounce her full first name in French) sit down to talk about Maggie's Charlotte roots that took her from Country Day to the North Carolina School of the Arts, UG...

SHE makes everyone else beautiful in our effort to get on even half of her level. HE "works in banking..." when he's not doubling as a male fashion model on her blog. On this episode of "Date Night with Jake and Page" John and Lindsey Regan Thorne visit the bonus room to talk about when "Alive at 5" was classy, how Lindsey's plan to "Lose a guy in 10 days" backfired (in the best of ways), and how Jake is a bad dater (but it worked out anyway).

Dr. P explains why we have sick babies to thank for Botox, Coco Chanel to blame for skin cancer, and alcohol-fueled parties to look to for why dermatologists sometimes become "junk checkers for people who sun their under-regions." Yeah. Over the course of their time together, Jake learns th...

On this episode of "Date Night with Jake and Page," we reunite with one of our early Raleigh friendship crushes, Laurie Ruettimann. Laurie is a self-described reformed HR professional who was just not right for HR.

We finally finished our pregnancy book! "Holy Crap, We're Pregnant" only took us 10 years and a global pandemic to finish, but we got it across the finish line. You could say it was a... labor of love. *crowd groans* In this episode you'll hear us set things up with a brief intro, then we play the Prologue portion of our upcoming audiobook. Recording the audio version has been THE most fun. Reading it aloud to each other has jogged our memories; we bring up some old stories and jokes that weren'...

This one was a bit of a Date Night reunion. We first met Vani Hari more than a decade ago when she was just starting to build her Food Babe empire. She was young and hungry. We had kids who were also both of those things... and we were feeding them crap. Vani came in with a cheese grater and cauliflower "pasta" to save the day. (A quick run through her social media and YouTube will bring up the horror show.) Fast forward 10 years and Vani has a kid of her own, another one on the way, several boo...

You didn't think we'd forget to give you a full recap of how Whole30 was, did you? C'mon! Come for the recap, stay for Page's horrifying story of how, a week after completing Whole30, her body finally got around to rejecting the previous seven days of falling off the wagon. It's an all-timer that involves Roto-Rooter, a gas station and a 63-year-old woman. Crying just typing this. Look, our results were awesome. We both lost 10+ pounds. But MAN was it tough. Even despite surprisingly good food m...

Ms. Jessica, aka The Girl Next Door, is one of the hosts of the No Limit Larry and the Morning Maddhouse radio show in Charlotte, while The Guy is a school counselor for CMS.

We're doing Whole30. We mean we're going on a diet. We mean we want to try to eliminate some foods from our diet. We mean Jake is going on a beard cleanse. Whatever you want to call it, we're doing it: Whole30. We've done minimal research. Page forgot to meal prep for work on Day 1. Jake plans to eat only chicken. We're off to an amazing start. Why are we doing it? Not really sure. We both know we could be making better dietary decisions, though, and a change has been a long time coming. Do we h...
