Comparing siblings’ milestones, strict vs flexible bedtime & our #1 learning on toys

Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! Happy Friday and good MORNING.. week one of being a morning show is complete and based on your comments, early drops are here to stay. Today we’re starting with our earliest school memories (bc Alex’s “good morning” reminded Harrison of the morning announcements), plus the podcast episode (linked below) that genuinely changed Alex’s life.. and just became a weirdly full circle moment. Also: the internet did its thing. Our marathon clip went viral, someone scrolled ALL the way back on Harrison’s Instagram and found his old marathon posts, hashtagged times and all (#3hours26minutes). He doubles down on his take, then walks them back (only as far as Alex would let him lol). That flows into fantasy football, our most overrated and underrated fast food rankings (In-N-Out.. we said what we said) and Thanksgiving prep: Alex’s famous family stuffing recipe is officially in the show notes (but WARNING: it’s a “vibes” recipe). Oh, and Hawaiian pizza was invented in CANADA?! What’s on the table today?! 🧸 Parenting: the viral “skip bedtime, stay at the fair” dad.. strict schedules vs flexible parenting and the 80/20 rule we actually live by (+ a Daylight Saving check-in, the kids are winning) 🍿 Pop culture: Justin Timberlake’s tell-all docuseries is coming (can he pull a Bieber-level comeback?) and NATASHA BEDINGFIELD commented on our video with a brand new You Can See Everything theory?! 💼 Business: Canva announced changes and layoffs affecting 22% of its staff.. and Harrison has a bold prediction 🃏 Wildcard: the tweet we can’t stop thinking about: everyone is actually rooting for you We close with a Q&A from one of you guys: do we compare Tate and Rocky’s milestones? Short answer: no, and we really mean it.. we’re cheering them on to be their own unique people. That rolls right into the #1 thing we’ve learned about kids’ toys (hint: your kid doesn’t hate the toy, you just bought it too early). Hope everyone has a great weekend :-) LOVE YOU GUYS!
