About this episode

🎙️ After an unexpected break, Herm and Kristin are finally back behind the mic — and they’ve got a LOT to catch everyone up on. From flying across the world to Paris with almost no sleep… to surviving Disneyland Paris corn dogs, graduation emotions, travel softball tournaments, career changes, and the reality of sending their oldest daughter off to college — this episode feels like sitting in the living room catching up with family. There’s laughter, chaos, emotional moments, travel stories, Disney disappointments, proud parent moments, and the usual Herm’s House banter that somehow turns every life event into a comedy special. ⚡ One minute they’re discussing French museums and international food tours… the next they’re arguing about washing machines, periods, and whether Herm’s voice needs medical attention. And honestly? That’s exactly what Herm’s House is supposed to be. ⸻ 💡 In This Episode Why the podcast disappeared for a while The behind-the-scenes frustrations with trying to “grow” the show Herm & Kristin’s chaotic Paris adventure Disneyland Paris vs California Disney The “worst corn dog disappointment” of all time Travel anxiety, exhaustion, and culture shock Layla graduating high school & heading to Texas State University Emotional parenting moments nobody prepares you for Travel softball tournament life Herm starting a brand-new career with Waste Management Why Herm’s voice still sounds like “puberty part 2” ⸻ ⚡ Episode Highlights “We finally realized… we’ll just do it ourselves again.” “I need two weeks in Paris.
