Two Parents & A Podcast

• Healthy relationship habits for new parents, postpartum depression & kindergarten cutoffs

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re sharing the relationship habits that have actually helped us (and YOU GUYS) stay connected as new parents — from daily 15-minute check-ins to remembering not to “talk through” your baby. We also talk about what it really means to support your partner through postpartum depression, and how we need to try going to bed at the same time (apparently this is a thing a lot of you guys do??). Before that, we dive into kindergarten cutoff dates (is it better to be old or young for your grade??), the great Diet Coke vs. Diet Pepsi debate, and our first ever MOVIE NIGHT REVIEW of Happy Gilmore 2. Plus, the new “fridge cigarettes” meme and a little closet clean-out convo (Harrison might need to watch the Marie Kondo show??). In Things We DMed Each Other, we’re taking on the hotel industry (check-in at 4pm, check-out at 11am? Really??) and decoding Gen Z’s newest phone greeting trend. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

• Matt & Abby on internet hate, 2 under 2 & why they stopped showing their kids’ faces online

  It’s our first Sunday episode of Two Parents & A Podcast!!!! We’re kicking off our new DOUBLE DATE series — where we bring on other couples to talk about love, parenting, internet chaos, and everything in between — and who better to start with than Matt & Abby? If you’ve been on the internet in the last five years, you’ve likely seen Matt & Abby (https://www.youtube.com/c/MattAbby) sharing their relationship, growing family, and real-life moments with their millions of followers. We get into why they chose to vlog the birth of their sons, how their perspective shifted after baby #2, and what led them to stop showing their kids’ faces online. We also talk about dealing with internet hate, the one thing they wish they hadn’t posted, and how they draw boundaries as a couple who lives much of their life publicly. Oh — and we do, of course, get into a classic Bicker of the Week: how early should you get to the airport? Stay tuned for more guests on Sundays. LOVE YOU GUYS!

If you didn’t know—we’re launching a second weekly episode (stay tuned this Sunday)!! We break down the four new formats, how they’ll differ from the main show, and why we’re so excited to bring more voices into the mix. Before that, we’re debating whether you should kiss on the first date, reminiscing about OUR first date, and sharing a big “Bicker of the Week” moment: checking a bag vs. carrying on. We also chat about eating off your partner’s plate (guess who’s guilty), updated travel tips with a 10-month-old, and how to make childhood feel magical. Oh—and we reveal the best day of the week to travel (spoiler: it’s Saturday PM, and we explain why).

• 3 parenting decisions we changed our minds on, ChatGPT Barbie & baby proofing the house

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re talking about parenting decisions we’ve officially changed our minds on. From sleep training to breastfeeding timelines to actually caring about “firsts,” (yeah - Harrison really claimed he didn’t care!!!), we share what we thought we’d do before Tate was born… and what we’ve flip flopped to now (it’s called personal growth OK!!).  Plus: Tate is fully on the move, which means we’re in deep child-proofing mode (baby gates, outlet covers, the whole deal). We also catch you up on some fun home updates (yes to wallpaper!!), debate the best parking spot in this week’s Bicker of the Week, and react to the most Alex x Harrison coded collab of the year: Barbie x ChatGPT. Oh—and stay tuned at the end for yet another new segment idea - Harrison’s inspirational quote of the week. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

• Our top 5 must-haves for traveling with a baby (under 12 months), toxic positivity & creating the ultimate playroom

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re sharing our top 5 must-haves for traveling with a baby (under 12 months)! Tate’s officially been on a TON of flights, and we’re finally feeling like we have it down. From our new 20-minute buffer rule (the stroller ALWAYS sets off the alarm) to maintaining routine with a few key constants, this list is fully battle-tested after 3 straight weeks of travel (ps. yes, we are happy to be home). We also talk about the playroom updates (spoiler: we might be going a little overboard, but it’s truly magical) and other home updates (how many times can I say Sherwin-Williams Pure White?? lol).  Plus, we revisit last week’s convo about the power of perspective—and unpack the difference between reframing and toxic positivity. In Things We DMed Each Other: an overemployed remote worker with a wild secret, TSA FINALLY ending the shoe removal policy, and a quick “Fail of the Week” involving a barbershop mishap (s/o to the very patient barber— but also, drop your thoughts on Harrison’s half-finished haircut 😂). WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
