Wendy & Lizzie Molyneux Flip Bob’s Burgers and Trad Gender Roles

This week, host Ophira Eisenberg is joined by Wendy and Lizzie Molyneux, the brilliant sister duo behind Bob’s Burgers and The Great North. The pair share their hilarious and heartfelt parenting journeys—Wendy as a mother of four and Lizzie with three kids spanning toddler to teen. They reflect on the joys and challenges of raising kids in Los Angeles while juggling a demanding career in television. From the realities of postpartum anxiety to negotiating with kids over Halloween costumes and talent shows, Wendy and Lizzie provide an honest look at life with big families. They also share how their childhood antics inspired their creative collaboration and why their experiences with family dynamics are at the heart of their writing for Bob’s Burgers and The Great North. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of hit TV shows and a chaotic yet comedic tribute to modern parenting. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!
