This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, it's Harrison's second solo episode… but jk lol because Alex (and Rocky!!!) decided to join in studio, just not on camera (ps. we heard you guys on the whole speakerphone thing hahaha). So Harrison is hosting, Alex is on the mic, Rocky is snoozing, and we're recapping the first two weeks as a family of four.

We get into Alex's feeding journey so far (no longer a just-enough-er!!!), the anniversary date we've officially decided on (the day we MET, not the day we got married…fight us about it), and the very real conversation we had on our walk this morning about how many kids we actually want now that we have 2 (spoiler: 3, and a maybe to 4??).

OK then we have a push present REVEAL (yes, the brown box that was right in front of Alex’s eyes for MONTHS had a pink LV Speedy in it), Mother's Day gift ideas for the guys listening (phone cases, name necklaces, shopping sprees… you're welcome), a quick update on Alex’s mat leave, and a real recap of the first two weeks with 2 under 2 (the divide and conquer dynamic, what advice we took too far, the new morning + bedtime routines, and yes the SNOO is working with baby #2!!!). Plus, we get into something on Harrison’s mind this week: can dads have "mom brain" too?! (Apparently yes, and the more involved you are, the worse it is???)

Then a "What We're Watching" update - Survivor Season 50 (& Harrison is officially applying for 2027??) and the Summer House drama continues (no, we didn't listen to the leaked audio). We also have a new segment to try out: TWEET OF THE WEEK (GLP-1s are out-earning the entire AI industry?!), and THINGS WE DMED EACHOTHER on the hot take that dads only really need to show up once baby #2 arrives… do we agree?! (NO!).

LOVE YOU GUYS!

Ps. Guys this is Jules now I need to say that I know Election Day is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November (idk WHERE I got the Nov 4th thing (2008???) but I swear I black out when we record lol)
