Two Parents & A Podcast
Dad insecurities, providing for the family & bonding with baby
Thu, 29 May 2025
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re getting a real look at fatherhood from a new dad’s perspective. Harrison’s answering all your questions: What does “providing” actually mean to him? Did he bond instantly with Tate? What’s surprised him the most about being a dad? And how has his view of me changed since becoming a mom? Before we get into it, we’ve got some updates: new neighbors (👀), MDW (it looks different these days) and Alex’s thoughts on babysitters leaving dishes in the sink.. And in Things We DMed Each Other, we’re talking Google’s new Veo model (WOAH and also LOL) and the very dark side of crypto. We LOVE YOU GUYS!

Chapter 2: Do dads bond instantly with their babies?
What was it?
Es war eine Lüge. Oh. Es war so ein großer Tag, als Chipotle aufkam, wie Linien um die Kante.
Also habt ihr nicht Krispy Kreme oder P.F. Changs?
Eventuell macht es alles seinen Weg nach Norden. Aber wenn ein Restaurant-Konzept losgeht, dauert es lange, bevor sie in Kanada expandieren.
Und was habt ihr jetzt entwickelt, das wir jetzt haben? Besides Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, I guess.
I would say the largest and most recognizable Canadian brand is Lululemon.
Lululemon, that's right.
Aritzia? Before Lululemon, it was Blackberry. Blackberry the Phones? Yeah.
Wow.

Chapter 3: What does 'providing' mean to a new dad?
Well, Jules is from... No, I loved it. We called it Timmy House.
We called it Timmy House too, Jules. What did you call the drinks? You call them Ice Fraps? We go for Fraps.
I don't recall, but we would like leave my small college town to go to Timmy House. Wow, it was that good.
Get some Timbits.
What are those?
You know Tim Horton was a hockey player?
No.
Yeah.
Good for him. Yeah. Is he still alive or...

Chapter 4: How do fathers feel about housework and responsibilities?
Ich dachte, du meinst... Wir hatten dieses... Weißt du, wie sie Monopoly-McDonalds haben?
Ja.
Wir hatten Tim Hortons Roll-Up-The-Rim-To-Win. Du kaufst deinen Kaffee und rollst den Kaffee-Rim auf und es gibt dir einen Preis. Und der große Preis war immer ein Toyota RAV4.
Toyota. Toyota. A Toyota RAV4. And you gotta wonder, did anybody ever win the RAV4?
Oh, I'm sure.
We follow the rules in Canada. That is just like some old school marketing. Like the Cracker Jacks with the prize in it.

Chapter 5: What advice do they give for single mothers?
Yeah.
I mean, I'm very likely to get Cracker Jacks. Or the, are we gonna take Tate to McDonald's to get a Happy Meal with a toy inside? For sure.
For sure. I can't wait. Yeah, I mean, you cannot deprive a child of a McDonald's Happy Meal. That is like banana land.
Do you know what I read earlier? I didn't read it. I watched a video on. So you're supposed to hold babies. I was watching a video on it. It was a scientist and he was saying holding babies is better for them.
Chapter 6: What do they think about the dark side of crypto?
Big pivot there from McDonald's Happy Meals to holding babies.
Well, I was thinking about what's good for kids.
Okay.
And at a young age, it's good for them to be held because we always say, are we holding her too much? Turns out there's no such thing. Holding babies is a good thing because it helps them develop mentally like the way that their bones are when they're being held. Sie können stärker werden, also sind sie physisch stärker.
Und der Mann sagte, du hältst sie hier, also wenn du Konversationen hast, sind sie mit dir, also entwickelt sich ihre Sprache. Und dann sagte er, die Eltern sind stärker, weil du sie hältst. Also ist jeder einfach glücklicher. Das ist sehr gut zu wissen, weil ich definitiv Sorgen hatte, dass sie überholt wurde. Kein solches Ding.
Ich habe ein Video gesehen, das sagte, dass sie sie küssen auch gut ist, was einfach gute Nachrichten war, um zu lernen. Und warum?
Warum?
Well, as soon as I saw Kissing Them Is Good, I was like, alright, that's great news. And now scrolling on to the next one.
Weißt du, was ich denke? Niemand hat dir gesagt, dass ein Lächeln glücklich symbolisiert und ein Lächeln glücklich symbolisiert. Aber wenn du sie siehst und lachst, reagiert sie wieder mit einem Lächeln und glücklich. Das ist einfach in uns. Ja. Was wirklich cool ist.

Chapter 7: How can babysitters make a lasting impression?
Und es ist aus dem Haus.
Ich stimme dazu.
Wir sollten ein Bild des Hauses nehmen, Öl darstellen und es in ein Ding legen.
In ein Frame. Eigentlich können wir zu Framebridge gehen und das machen. Ich habe ein kleines Ding mit ihnen.
Okay. Wir können zu Framebridge gehen. Okay. Ich glaube, ich habe sie benutzt. Aber ich weiß nicht.
Du hast sie benutzt.
Okay.
Du hast Frameology benutzt.
I don't know who I used.
