This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Wednesday!!! We start with a real one: Rocky spiked a 102.7 fever this week (he's totally fine now!!), and even though we're second-time parents, it was a first-time occurrence for us… and we went RIGHT back into first-time parent mode. We get into how we handled it (calling the pediatrician hotline at 4 AM), how our in-home pediatric practice works (& why we love it so much), and the bigger realization: no matter how many kids you have, a new challenge puts you right back at square one. Which spirals into a continued conversation on what's harder, 0 to 1 or 1 to 2 (the diaper-on-backwards story makes its return lol), the wild fact that you don't have to pass ANY test to take a baby home from the hospital (Alex is now drafting the exam as we speak), and what magically flips at milestone dates?! (A fever at 2 months 29 days = ER, but at 3 months 1 day = Tylenol at home??) Then the fun stuff: the "nepo baby" discourse (Harrison JUST learned who Gracie Abrams's dad is?! + the Phoebe Gates cookie-tracking situation), is anyone still ACTUALLY listening to AM/FM radio (sound off in the comments, we need the data!!), a 1-minute Summer House update (don't skip it!), and the Nantucket store that put up a "no influencers allowed" sign… which immediately went viral because of influencers lol. And the travel corner: the Delta pilot who officially set the PLAYBOOK on handling flight delays (Diallo, we love you 🥹), why don't airports have play areas?! (we're campaigning), and does anyone actually get their shoes shined at the airport?!. We finish it off with: what's going on with the TikTok algorithm right now and the $9 tip on a $612 bill that has the internet fighting (we have THOUGHTS). LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:02:23 The "nepo baby" discourse (Gracie Abrams?! + the Phoebe Gates cookie situation) 00:14:42 Is anyone still ACTUALLY listening to AM/FM radio?! 00:18:40 Handling a 102+ fever with our 3 month old 00:24:55 How in-home pediatric visits work (& why we love them!) 00:19:59 The continued conversation: what's harder, 0 to 1 or 1 to 2?! 00:30:08 What magically flips at milestone dates?! (fevers, cow's milk & more) 00:34:21 Summer House drama update (guys this is 1 minute total, don't skip it!) 00:35:23 A Nantucket store says "no influencers allowed"?! 00:38:16 Flight delays: the pilot who set the communication PLAYBOOK 00:43:18 Why don’t airports have play gyms?! 00:47:00 Does anyone actually get their shoes shined at the airport?! 00:54:01 What's going on with the TikTok algorithm?! 00:54:54 Should we reconsider tipping norms?!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're coming to you from GEORGIA!!! We recorded Sunday night from Serenbe (a neighborhood focused on wellbeing 45 minutes outside Atlanta - If you live a direct flight from ATL and are looking for a family trip… we highly recommend!!). We flew in for a friend's kid's first birthday and turned it into a whole family weekend, which leads to a bigger conversation: every state has "pockets of magic" like this, and we share the ones at the top of our list to check out next (the Northeast in the summer!! Montana!! Yellowstone!!). Then we get into the idea from book club this week that we're SO excited about: conspiracy theory nights!! The concept: each couple researches a conspiracy, presents it (PowerPoint encouraged), and everyone debates whether it's true. Already on the table: the moon landing, aliens, and the Titanic insurance theory we'd never heard before… (pls put your recs in the comments). Plus, THINGS WE DMED on the viral video of an entire flight rallying to find formula for a mom stuck in delays 🥹 (& the very real question: why don't airports sell baby formula?!), a cyclosporiasis update (are we still swearing off produce?), why more servers aren't ALSO the bartender, and a fun fact reveal: Alex went to BARTENDING SCHOOL?! (A+ on the test, never made a cocktail since lol). We wrap with the Harvard study we can't stop thinking about: gathering is MORE healing than sleep for new moms. Alex gets into how this maps onto her two postpartum journeys, and why putting yourself out there to find your people pays dividends 🥹 LOVE YOU GUYS!

Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents & A Podcast — it's FRIDAY (and yes, as promised, Harrison has brought his Friday energy!!!). For our listeners who like a parent-heavy episode more than Harrison — this one is for you!! (lol) OK so - did you know 90% of your adult brain develops between 0 & 5?! WE DIDN’T! So we dug into a few child development topics on this episode: First… your toddler saying "um" isn't rude (side note: is it rude for adults to say um?!), it's actually an important development milestone. Other interesting things: babies who swim actually DEVELOP FASTER (better coordination, balance & body control, and they walk faster too!) and why kids in the 0-5 range absorb language SO much easier than we do as adults (it's a brain state thing called theta and it's genuinely fascinating). Since that was “too much parenting talk” for Harrison, we did one of our date night check-ins live on the pod (ok guys, this is Jules now — would you imagine their date night convo has much to do with kids?? and when they said "kids aside," the updates also primarily revolved around parenting LOL. But no, we get a really good Flock update and a feeding journey update from Alex in this section). Other stuff: West & Jesse are friends again?, PSA on why you should never put your kid in a blue bathing suit (safety!!), Siete is (kind of) changing their ingredients after being acquired by Pepsi, there's a LIZARD in our house, and Harrison is still on that book club is just girls night in disguise. OH and Ginny made her pod debut!! LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:02:22 SKIP IF YOU HATE FUN: West soft launches friendship with Jesse 00:05:28 The “WOW, that was louder than I thought” neighbor gift 00:08:25 Why are “dad injuries” so embarrassing?! 00:11:05 Toddlers saying "um" is a developmental milestone?! 00:18:20 PSA: NEVER put your kid in a blue bathing suit 00:19:00 Babies who swim actually DEVELOP FASTER (new study!) 00:20:05 90% of your adult brain develops between 0 & 5 00:23:34 Being away from your kids for even ONE night feels like too much 00:25:09 The viral "normalize telling your kid they're not special" video debate 00:31:40 Siete was bought by PEPSI (& the misleading headline about their ingredients!) 00:38:23 UNHINGED mom hacks: tooth quality tooth fairy, a wig for hair-holding & more 00:43:15 Harrison still wants everyone to know that book club in girls night in disguise 00:49:00 MID-EPISODE CHECK IN: health, work, friends, postpartum & more 01:03:30 We had a LIZARD in our house last night?! 01:04:28 ”Minnesota nice" is a real thing?! 01:06:45 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Ollie: Ollie.

Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents & A Podcast — happy HUMP DAY (lol). Harrison is BACK from Minnesota and we get a little behind the scenes look on what it's like to drop an exclusive collab with Target (everyone go try the Flock Turkey Bacon Strips!!) before we get into our topics for the day. Here are the big ones: the favorite child (apparently most parents have one) — we talk about what we learned about how this impacts BOTH the favorite AND the non-favorite sibling. Big communication episode too: 1) we talk about adult conversationalists — askers vs. sharers (we're big on both, but apparently either can be considered rude if you go too far), and 2) toddler communication — Tate is starting to be able to answer questions (but from what we've learned, she's just matching our vibes and not understanding quite yet!). Finally, while Harrison was gone, Alex wrote a FREE Substack about division of household labor (the tip: do this exercise with your partner!! the BTS: was this an overshare??). And of course there's a bunch of other fun stuff: audiobooks vs. reading for the millionth time, Jules is learning Spanish, schools have gotten rid of smart boards, when your kid transitions from "dada" to "daddy", the first name vs. Miss/Mrs. debate, Hinge's new friend prompts feature, & the most important question: should Harrison shave his beard?! (Lol) Alright, be back Friday!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:05:28 Flock Turkey Bacon Strips are now EXCLUSIVELY at Target!!! 00:14:06 Does listening to an audio book count as reading?! (pt. 298374) 00:16:01 Was Alex's Substack about the chore division an "overshare"?! 00:21:22 Harrison's Minnesota travel fiasco 00:25:38 The 2 types of conversationalists: askers vs. sharers 00:31:40 Tate is officially playing CATCH?! 00:32:50 Is Tate really answering our questions?! (prosodic matching explained!) 00:35:56 Do you have a favorite child?! 00:42:20 IN THE COMMENTS: when do you transition from "mama/dada" to "mommy/daddy"?! 00:44:40 Is Duolingo the antidote to doomscrolling?! 00:47:38 Schools no longer have Smart Boards?! 00:50:32 IN THE COMMENTS: should kids call adults "Mr." & "Mrs."?! 00:51:58 Follow up on Alex’s viral CALLIE video 00:58:50 3 businesses people are googling but no one has created 01:07:04 Hinge’s new friend prompts feature 01:09:43 Our pilot officially SETTLED the plane seat debates 01:14:37 Should Harrison shave his beard?! 01:15:45 Europeans planned the American World Cup halftime show?! 01:17:30 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Tumble: Machine Washable Rugs, Made Better.

Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents & A Podcast — or rather, this week is 1 parent + 1 childfree (childless??) person lol as Harrison is out of town for a work trip (but DON'T worry, we get a full rundown of his day mid episode). On today's ep, we took some "girlypop" (as Jules calls it) questions from the audience about friendship, relationship, career, and motherhood. Here's a quick rundown of the Qs you can look forward to: how have friendships with your childfree friends changed since having kids? How do you connect with friends outside of kids? (pro tip: BYO pod topics to dinner!). How do you find the courage to leave the house with littles?! (shots on net!!). How do you track your cycle postpartum? What do you & Harrison argue about most postpartum? (AirPods???). And how do you approach career planning as a working mom? Before all that, we quickly get into a bit about the DC trip (did anyone else NOT go on an 8th grade DC trip??), how to deal with other people's kids (are we supposed to be "teaching" them if they do something wrong?), Bieber's World Cup halftime show, and Tuesday weddings: rude or chic?! We wrap things up with a follow up on: is it ever OK to lie to your kids?, a good reminder ("you don't learn to swim by reading about water"!), and a big debate online: how old is "too old" to have a wedding registry?! Alright, hopefully you enjoyed! But if you didn't, Harrison will be back on Wednesday hahaha. LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:04:18 Did anyone else NOT do the 8th grade DC trip?! 00:07:16 How to deal with other people’s kids 00:10:56 Is it normal for toddlers to grind their teeth?! 00:13:13 Justin Bieber's halftime show at World Cup Finals 00:16:12 If you could be BFFs with any TV character, who would it be?! 00:17:34 Paige Lorenze’s Tuesday wedding: rude or chic?! 00:20:45 LISTENER Q: how have friendships with your childfree friends changed? 00:31:23 LISTENER Q: how do you connect with friends outside of kids? 00:35:22 LISTENER Q: balancing your bestie with new motherhood 00:39:00 LISTENER Q: how do you find the courage to leave the house with littles?! 00:43:31 LISTENER Q: tracking your cycle postpartum 00:44:12 LISTENER Q: what do you & Harrison argue about most postpartum? 00:59:52 LISTENER Q: how do you approach career planning as a working mom? 01:18:40 Follow up: is it ever OK to lie to your kids? 01:20:37 You don't learn to swim by reading about water" 01:21:17 The great WEDDING REGISTRY debate (how old is too old?!) 01:25:46 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Hungryroot: For a limited time get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!!! We recorded this episode the night before heading out to DC and instead of our usual, we decided to do a little game: we picked a bunch of parenting hot takes & "would you rather" questions to answer rapid-fire, and yes we were all a little slap happy LOL. PSA UPFRONT: we talk about Santa in this episode around 20 minutes in… please do not listen in front of your kids!!! OK let's get into it: A few we cannot stop thinking about: is it ever OK to lie to your kids?! (Santa, tooth fairy, "the iPad only exists on the airplane" lies…), are iPads the modern day cigarette?! (YES), should schools ban birthday treats?! (no), should toddlers actually be expected to share?! (yes!!!), and the great household debate: shoes on or shoes off in the house?! (Harrison is CANADIAN and yet still on Team Shoes On somehow??). Plus, we get into some wild parenting advice from the 1930s-1960s (mothers were told don't breastfeed if you're angry?! Doctors recommended cigarettes during pregnancy?! Don't hug your baby too much or you'll create a tyrant??) that made us wonder what advice we're getting today that we'll think is crazy in 100 years. Plus, pacifiers after age 2 (yes or no?), and the true or false round: is the second kid actually rules-free? Was parenting easier before Instagram? Do parents secretly love when plans get canceled? And of course, Harrison walks us through 100 years of stock market data to kick things off (cliffhanger from last ep!! lol)… 30,000 stocks analyzed over 100 years, and only 27.6% outperformed the market. His case for index funds continues!! 📈 LOVE YOU GUYS!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Wednesday!!! TBH we started with a 10 minute spiral about CYCLOSPORIASIS (are you guys spiraling too???). We are officially swearing off produce for the time being (but if you don't want to, Dr. Brown taught us to stick to things with peels and still wash them!!). ok ANYWAYS - guess we are saving on berries for the time being… We get into Tate's 3AM wake up: how we handled it, how YOU GUYS said you would handle it, and why we're chill with letting this happen (like once a year). But here's what we know now: we always need to have a game plan because we don't need any 3AM fights. Plus, Tate has a new food obsession, Rocky is officially SOCIAL SMILING 🥹, and Alex gives an update on combo feeding vs. EPing at 3 months postpartum (mental load is a 2/10 vs. a 9/10 with Tate!). And a bunch of quick ones: are West & Amanda pregnant (& poking fun at the rumors on TikTok??), Harrison almost getting in a fight in the World Cup bathroom, David Beckham lives in AMERICA?!, Harrison’s TWEET OF THE WEEK, cable providers officially laughing at us ($247/month?!), the lost art of writing a check, kids grow 50% FASTER in summer, and BICKER OF THE WEEK: Monday's egg bicker is officially solved.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!! Harrison is officially DONE with the World Cup (despite going to the game tomorrow AND talking about it for like 20 minutes on this ep lol). BUT this leads to a fun discussion: is watching sports with someone you're dating the new "turbulence test"?! We run through the RED FLAGS of watching sports with a guy — is his day being made or ruined by other men playing a game he's not in?! 🚩 But first: we broke our own rule and started the pod talking about the weather lol, that one guy who wishes you happy birthday every single year (s/o Kevin Williams!!!), funny date stories (Harrison ends up beside a friend ON A DATE at the bar, getting catfished, and the girl who met her Hinge date's parents on the first date??), the way the Kardashians stay close with their exes despite the drama, and Bubber in Paris?! (an August pipe dream). We also give updates on how everything is going with 2 under 2 (spoiler alert: Tate is still obsessed with Rocky). Then we hop on the TikTok trend everyone's been doing: 5 things worth the money — no explanation given. Parenting edition!! Night nurse, Doona, SNOO, extra airline seat after 18 months & Solely fruit gummies :) To wrap it up with some internet things: Meta is officially being investigated by the EU for their "addictive design" (they want autoplay disabled, screen time breaks & less engagement-based algorithms — could this come to the US?!), Netflix is officially bringing back cable, and a bicker on whether you have to announce it if you use the last egg. LOVE YOU GUYS!
