We talk to Carmiya Weinraub about comedy and religion and comedy about religion. We discuss what we're going to do when we become bitcoin billionaires and get inspired by the human anatomy when building our spaceships. Smita shares a story about such a rude houseguest that if you ever worry about troubling a host, worry no more! The bar has been lowered like never before!

Code switching is hard, except when that's the only way you've known. We talk about code switching...between celsius and fahrenheit, between microwaving or scrambling eggs, or juggling cultures and generations of colonial influence. So, we keep it light and easy, till we don't. As usual. Also, we continue to deliver on our promise of never delivering useful advice.

If you didn't make a "Best of" episode, did the year even happen?

Season 4 is off with a bang with our guest Chelsea Bearce a comedian, baker, game show host and more! Hold on to your seats,there's drama in this episode, with Lalita narrowly missing the title of most annoying person in the Bay Area. We also discuss crucial questions like whether there is such a thing as cake flavored cake.Is there? We demand answers! And cake, of any flavor! Now!

We're back! Did you miss us? Some say we refuse to stop. We say we're unstoppable. Join us as we launch a new season featuring absolutely no useful information....for the third time! Seaons 3! Yaaaaayyyyy!!!!!

Lisa Rothman thinks about Working From Home a lot. Like, a lot, alot. She thought about it so much that she produced a one woman show about it. Yeah. And she performs it from, you guessed it, home. Peak pandemic humor and we love it! But we're laughing with it, not at it! Well, also at it. But it's cool!

Cristina Fernandez joins us to talk about all sorts of journeys. Some to outer space. And some to even an scarier place, the inner workings of your mind. We make it back ok, don't worry! We also talk about pandemic jokes. What are they? And when can we stop making them? Seriously....Hello?

Srilatha Rajamani joins us to talk about being true to yourself, even if that means feeling a little uncomfortable at times. We discuss what makes us laugh, and how we find inspiration for jokes, often from strange, and sometimes awkward, places. Ultimately, we come from a place of love and honesty. And it's the best thing.

Erin Patrick joins us as we nerd out on the joys and challenges of comedy. We talk about roasts, toasts and social media boasts. We also debate the nature of mom, dad, non-binary and parenting jokes. Of which, there is no doubt we are the butt of. There is a silver lining - the friends we made (literally, in the case of our children) along the way!

Kim Evey joins us to talk about the unspoken challenges of parenting which include surprisingly large amounts of photography. We also try to solve some mysteries like the optimal number of children, husbands and Kim's real birthdate. But it's us, so we swiftly give up. We do keep the jokes coming, though!

Lisa Gilbert, mother of triplets (yes, with a T) joins us to talk about hard and soft truths and how the playground will always tell you what is what. We cover business ideas like smelling bees and playground coffee pop-ups. We also get serious and talk about the challenges of discussing race and colorism with our children. It's not easy, but it's not optional. Lisa brings her signature wit and grace to the conversation and we had a blast!

In this short episode, we ruminate on the wisdom of the Buddha who we believe more or less (paraphrasing here) said, "Ouchie is inevitable." We also kickoff the launch of Season 3! Some say we refuse to stop. We say we're unstoppable!

We talk to Emily Paige about the importance of being true to yourself because the alternative is... not good. We discuss having mom jokes mansplained at us as well as being harassed for the mere fact of wanting to tell jokes. And there's a grand reveal near the end on our true motivations for doing comedy. Spoiler alert - it's because we like to have fun!

As usual, if you are looking for useful parenting tips... do they have to be useful?

We talk to Danna Kiel about comedy, parenthood and chess and how all three are surprisingly similar. A defensive game only takes you so far. And you are only as good as your last move. Don't believe us? Try negotiating with a 3-year-old... or a drunk heckler. (Fact: They're not that different).

As always, if you are looking for useful parenting tips ...so are we!

Mature topics and language alert! In this wide-ranging episode with Bobbie Oliver, the three of us have a grand time conversing in three different languages, all of them English. We talk to Bobbie about her unconventional path to motherhood. Let's just say, she could run a master class on embracing what life sends your way. We talk about standard outsider problems like daring to dream and being judged for our accents. The conclusion? Let them misunderestimate (sic) us! It makes the reveal more fun.

As always, if you are looking for parenting tips...are you open to cautionary tales?

In this episode with Dewa Dorje, we reflect on our love of comedy. Spoiler alert: it involves our parents. We also talk about what smells worse than Axe body spray. (Hint: Not using Axe body spray.) Finally, Dewa completely defies the spirit of this podcast and gives an actually useful parenting tip. It involves bathrooms. It's a good one.

As always, if you are looking for useful parenting tips...oh wait, this episode actually has one! Scream!

In this episode with Jaci Terjeson, we discuss important matters like career options for Zoom perverts, power moves on airplanes and whether, as moms, we are also allowed to be people. We also uncover a Seattle conspiracy theory involving umbrellas and, hold on to your hats, rain. It's fascinating! Big Metorology exposed! Finally!

​As always, if you are looking for useful information on parenting...we'd like to get you in on the ground floor with these magic beans.

In this episode with Lin Sun, we cover, among other things, how jail prepares you for motherhood (!) We talk about about how doing standup is less scary than being a mom. And the healing value of having low standards. It's true, sometimes you just have to let go.

​As always, if you are looking for useful information on parenting....sorry we can't help. Have you tried the internet?

In this short episode, Smita and Lalita reflect on how fun it's been to do the podcast and what to expect in the new season. They discuss issues like whether our butts are mad at us and international underwear nomenclature. Let's just say pants don't mean the same thing everywhere. They also explore the potential for an alter ego podcast, "We Hate Mom Jokes", but fortunately it doesn't go very far.

As always, if you are looking for useful information on parenting....definitely don't listen to season 2 of We Heart Mom Jokes, the funniest and sweetest take on parenting out there.

We talk to Davine Ker, a standup comic, mom, double-immigrant and polyglot! We talk about how motherhood prepares you for standup - whether it's getting used to nobody listening to you, or hearing people botch jokes all day long and still insist you listen! The season ends on a bright note as we chat about the (small) silver linings of 2020 including fewer speeding tickets and the Masked Smize(TM)!

Thank you for sticking around and listening to Mom Jokes! We love you! We see you!

​As always, if you are looking for useful information on parenting....good luck! Godspeed! Try to laugh along the way.

We talk to Susan Lieu, a playwright, performer, standup comic, entrepreneur, chocolatier and mother. We talk about things like who needs time outs the most (hint: it's not the kids.) And innovations that make parenting easier, like designated screaming rooms and snot gloves. And the fact that we are probably not doing the best we could as parents. And that's ok.

As always, if you are looking for useful information on parenting....good idea! Please share what you find!

We talk to Jeanette Marin, a mom of four (yes, four), standup comic and cancer (yes, cancer) survivor about staying positive and celebrating the little things. In this episode, we cover important topics like flying placentas, pandemic birthday party planning and details like the point of life.

As always, if you are looking for useful information on parenting, please go to a different podcast.

We talk to Zarna Garg, a mom, immigrant, lawyer and Tiktok star on the rise. Damn, anything she doesn’t do? In this episode, we cover important topics like fish foot spas, therapeutic trashy reality TV, the nightmare that is travelling with children and a discussion on the merits of cooking vs ordering in (spoiler alert, if they eat, you are winning.)

As always, if you are looking for useful information on parenting, this is not the place for you!

We talk to Karinda Dobbins, a standup comic, screenwriter, ex-biotechnologist and, say it with me, mom. We chat about the therapeutic value of standup comedy and if nothing else, it's one way to get people to listen to what we say. We discuss cultural differences in parenting, but also universal truths, like the undeniable the power of The Look (TM). And that this is all one long form improv, so we may as well have fun.

As always, if you are looking for useful information on parenting....spoiler alert! It doesn't exist.

We talk to Natasha Muse, a mom of two, standup comic and self-described queerdo. We discuss the complete hypocrisy that is built into the job description of being a parent as well as uncover why Natasha considers herself the Oprah of timeouts.

As always, if you are looking for useful information on parenting....why?
