This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re audio only (SORRY, but that’s IRL recording, baby. PS we saw your feedback (THANK YOU!!!) and we’re gonna try this for a few weeks before regrouping). ANYWAYS — we’re starting with a relationship milestone nobody talks about: the first time you see your partner truly sick. It turns out it teaches you just as much about a relationship as your first vacation together… maybe more.
From there, we get into the modern logistics of adult life, including the “phone call slot” problem (miss it and you’re benched for the day) and the realization that a shocking number of adults (*cough cough* US) don’t know how to change a tire, write a check, or address an envelope. That naturally leads us into how fast AI is moving, how jobs are shifting in real time (important note: AI still cannot change a tire), and what all of this actually means for people trying to build careers right now.
Then we share our top three tips for throwing a baby sprinkle that people will actually enjoy, look ahead to Expo West with a toddler (and why bringing a grandparent as backup is elite strategy), and share that we’ve OFFICIALLY narrowed baby boy names down to four.
Then come the debates. Self-checkout tipping… are we doing this now or not? Expiration dates - law or just vibes? (we HAD to get Harrison’s “expert” opinion). And can you ACTUALLY trust Google reviews?!
We wrap with a few life things: front porch hangouts with neighbors, pregnancy pee science (why it’s worse lying down and why no one warns you), and a glucose update that involved cake and immediate regret.
LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!
