Our first postpartum date night, nanny share update & World Cup 2026
5/7/20261 hr 13 min
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, Alex is officially BACK (kind of… NO PRESSURE (and we talk about this mindset in the ep!)). We have lots of updates (recording 1 non-guest episode per week has been hard on us lol)… BUT we're recapping our first date night post-baby (iHeart Country Music Festival!!) and the thing we did beforehand that made me SO excited to go. Other "IRL" stuff we get into: Tate's dance recital (😩), group swim lessons & a feeding journey update (get this: NOT crying over spilled milk… who am I?!). Then we get into week 3 with 2 under 2: our biggest mistake (starting a pool build with a newborn… we knew it was dumb, we did it anyway), what's been working well, and why stress levels feel SO much lower this time around. Plus, the Anne Hathaway clip about being tired that is living rent-free in my head (“I’m really into the reason that I’m tired”). Then we get into YOUR most common Bickers of the Week, which spirals us into a handful of other topics: Harrison's HOT TAKE on Delta cutting beverage & snack service on short flights, RIP Spirit Airlines, and an open plea to car manufacturers: WHY don't 6-door cars exist?! And finally, is anyone else seeing WORLD CUP 2026 marketing absolutely EVERYWHERE?! We're pumped to watch, but I needed help understanding what's what. Harrison explained the key players as celebrities (France = Kardashians, Spain = Taylor Swift, USA = Glen Powell (????), and more) plus our final picks for who's going to win 🏆 LOVE YOU GUYS!
