Description

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re still in a hotel (shoutout to The LINE Austin for really making this the SUITE life of Bubber), and no, the hardwood floors are still NOT done. We filmed this one first thing in the morning before heading out for the birthday/Fourth of July trip (if you didn’t see on IG — we made our flight, but only managed to check 2 out of 3 bags in time hahaha). This week, we went to our first “kids’ birthday party” (spoiler: we loved it). But apparently, we’re going to get sick of them? We break down how we think kids’ birthday parties work—or maybe how they SHOULD work. Plus, at this party, the most embarrassing moment in recent memory happened to me (you’ll have to listen to find out what it was). And we celebrate a little “bragging parent” moment—because sometimes it’s okay to celebrate the wins. We also talk about the power of perspective, pitch a new dating app idea, and share our favorite Fourth of July memories (cue Harrison saying “bro, it was like a movie”). We love you guys and hope you get to enjoy some time off this holiday weekend! ❤️ Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:02:15 Birthday/Fourth of July trip to California 00:06:00 It’s OK to do a “parent brag” sometimes (CELEBRATE!) 00:13:52 Alex’s FAIL of the week 00:21:34 Our thoughts on kids’ birthday parties 00:29:00 The power of perspective 00:32:30 A new idea for a dating app 00:36:24 Bick of the Week: Saving contacts in your phone 00:39:40 Our favorite Fourth of July memories 00:43:08 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: Dipsea - Right now, you can get a 30-day free trial PLUS 25% off your annual subscription when you go to https://www.DipseaStories.com/TWOPARENTS Cleveland Kitchen - Want to make gut health easy and delicious?
