Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith
Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations.

Ep. 37 – You Can’t Keep Calling People Stupid
Sidney says sometimes you have to call it like it is—even if that means telling someone they’re stupid. Tamra isn’t so sure. In this episode, the two of them debate the fine line between being blunt and being disrespectful, and whether removing yourself from a situation is better than calling it out directly.
The discuss and apology call she gently pushed him to make to his good friend Reavis, this episode mixes honesty, humor, and a little bit of chaos.
We also tackle the myth of “work-life balance,” react to Issa Rae’s take on friendship, and admit how hard it can be to actually show up for the people who matter most. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Running in Slow Motion without a Dutch Bros experiment gone sideways.
It’s messy, it’s funny, and it’s real—proof that marriage and life aren’t about perfection, they’re about working through the tension together.
