Empty Nesters, Marriage, and the Kids Who Make It Easier to Leave
At 14:23 · chapter starts 13:50
The conversation slows into something more personal as Olyphant reveals he and his wife are celebrating 35 years of marriage this summer — 'that's 7 really good ones.' The hosts share where they each are in the parental lifecycle: Bateman is half-empty with an older daughter at USC, Arnett has one year left until his first goes to college. Olyphant offers a note of reassurance: once empty-nested, you realize the kids had been leaving gradually for years. He attributes a joke to comedian Tom Cotter (possibly Tom Popas) about nobody preparing you for how hard it is to pretend to be sad when the kids go. The segment finds the episode's warmest emotional register — honest, funny, and genuinely relatable.
