Swearing in front of kids, doomsday planning & is it OFFICIALLY the holiday season?!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday and apparently.. Merry Christmas?? Santa is already set up at the mall, our neighbors swapped their Halloween decor for Thanksgiving OVERNIGHT, and the group chats have moved on to gift lists. So we need a ruling: is it OFFICIALLY the holiday season??? (we realized there are ONLY 24 days til Thanksgiving, so we did some live planning on the pod) But first, the Halloweekend recap: the float plan fell apart like an hour before go-time, so we built the rodeo in the front yard dirt instead (crisis averted), Tate was a dinosaur at gymnastics (she only got in the costume after mama “tried it on” first hahaha), and she’s convinced Halloween is HER holiday (“happy Halloween to Tate!!”). Plus a trick or treating culture check: our block had 25 kids this year.. Jules’ parents’ neighborhood had 697?! So we get into how you actually make your street a trick or treating destination (it takes coordination!!) It was also New York City Marathon weekend, which turns into how we view marathons (is it a SPORT or a HOBBY?!), why an Ironman deserves a forehead tattoo, and the Elizabeth Holmes mile-marker signs on the course hahaha. Speaking of: [SPOILERS] the “You Can See Everything” conversation continues, because Jules saw it and has a THEORY. Is Nathan Fielder a mastermind playing chess with all of us, or did he fall in love with Elizabeth Holmes? We are a house divided, vote in the comments. (And Pam from Phoenix + Paige from Indiana: you won the movie giveback, DM us!!) Then on the table for today: is it OK to swear in front of kids? (our take: depends on the age, and we’re not there.. yet). Should you give up your seat for a 7 year old on public transit? Be honest. Then we close with the story of hackers taking over supermarket freezers across Europe, which raises a real question: do you have a family doomsday plan? Or are you like Jules?? (“I’m not trying to survive it”) Hope everyone has a great week :-) LOVE YOU GUYS!
