This week on Two Parents & A Podcast we start with an underrated friendship milestone from Sunday night: the friends you can sit in silence with. The ones you can cook dinner with, hang out with, and not feel the need to fill every moment with conversation. Then we recap Jules turning 30 (!!) in New York — including a pro-tip on how to pull off a surprise and a dinner rec that’s AMAZING for big groups.

Next we get into one of the funniest internet moments currently taking over our FYPs: burger CEOs going to war on TikTok — and why some brands understand internet culture way better than others. (Yes… we actually called Burger King live on the pod hahaha)

From there we talk parenting: handling toddler night wakings, how Harrison has built such a strong bond with Bubs, why we personally won’t use a child safety tether (fancy way to say leash lol), and the mindset shift that’s changed how we think about time with our kids (hint: stop trying to “pass the time”). After our latest flight, we also share our best screen-free tips for flying with a toddler.

And we end with a debate: maternity clothes vs sizing up normal clothes — plus the comment section question of the week… are crop tops while pregnant acceptable or not?

LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!
