Talking Monroes

Episode 2.1: Back At It - Tabletopics

March 20th, 2026  |  Season 2  |  51 mins 45 secs

Seven years, one hiatus, zero regrets. Aaron and Nicole are back behind the mics—older, grandparent-er, and armed with a fresh stack of Table Topics cards. The couple that started it all with question cards picks right back up: swapping childhood stories, debating whether honesty should come with a warning label, and dropping the marriage advice they actually live by. Plus: a granddaughter reveal, a raw egg prank from the 1970s, and the Japanese word that saved more than a few arguments.

family, fun, kids, party, ritual, tradition

There is no question that tradition is the cornerstone of a family, but what really is a tradition? How do you start (or stop) one? How do they differ from rituals? What the significance of a tradition anyway? All great questions that we answer in our newest episode! Listen in to find out about the tradition that Aaron was not invited to...twice, how the NCAA tournament leads us to family gambling every year, and why it takes us 3+ hours every Christmas to open gifts!

Episode 6: Table Topics Revisited

April 14th, 2018  |  Season 1  |  55 mins 7 secs

marriage, questions, relationships, table topics

We had so much fun asking and answering questions that we did it a second time! A few friends of the show said they loved hearing us ask and answer questions so we decided to do it again! This time we stepped things up a little bit and we incorporated questions from Table Topics Couples and Family editions. I wasn't sure how it would go, but I believe this is our best show yet! Be sure to listen closely to find answers to the age old questions of Which is more important Intelligence or Common Sense, Where is the best place to live (Beach or Mountains), and find out which one of our kids is a rebound kid. JUST KIDDING...they're all rebound kids!

I'm sure we'll do another Table Topics episode in the future, but if you don't want to wait until then for some fun questions, check out the Table Topics website and order some cubes for yourself:
