Full Episode
I'm glad we at least made an offer on that house but the fact that we didn't get it makes me happy because I don't think we love that house. We did not love that house and now we're in the game.
And I think our question we're gonna have to ask ourselves is like is it worth living in this area so we can still walk to the nanny share or if we find a house do we move? And time will tell because we're we have like three weeks left. Are we are we good to start? Okay let's go. Ready? Here we go. All right welcome to Two Parents and a podcast. What a weird intro.
Do you want to try one? I did last week. What'd you do? Feedback was very good. Did you say, did you welcome us? Yeah, because we had the whole spider ordeal. That's very true. Well, this week we have something even more fun than a spider. Is that our pod covers? That's a big development. Oh, we do. We have podcast covers. They're called mic covers. Professionalizing.
um i what i wanted to talk about at the beginning was and i'm so happy a point for alex harrison didn't like either of his birthday gifts oh i thought we were going to talk about how julie is a mic this week julie does have a mic say hi jules this is jules like nightmare
It's not worth it. Okay.
Julie will talk because sometimes we think we asked Jules these questions and then she answers and we have to repeat her answer into the microphone. So if there's something like Harrison was going to do a little bit of reading before the pod, but he didn't get to it. And he said, cramming for a test isn't good. Cramming isn't studying. So there's that. Yes.
You don't like your birthday gifts. You don't like either of your birthday gifts. Do you know what that is? Please share. That's the pot calling the kettle black, sir. I have no idea what that means. It just means like, well, the pots and kettles are all black. Okay.
It's like the stove call on the kettle. They're all, you know, like iron. Well, not yet. Then now the cat has your tongue. Do you know what that means? I, I, are you sure that's the right thing? Is it the right thing? Cause it's never made sense to me. Like, why would the cat have your tongue? I, I'm not a gift guy. It doesn't matter.
Didn't like, I don't like receiving gifts and I love what you did for my birthday and All I wanted on my birthday was to spend time with you and spend time with Tate. It was amazing that my family came down. The gift doesn't do it for me. I love the thought, so thank you very much. But as I've said before, I think we need to do some more preemptive communication on the gift giving.
