Two Parents & A Podcast

Home school, formula scandal & the “decline” of alcohol

Thu, 15 May 2025

Description

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re looking deeper into schooling (you guys had so much good feedback last week). We talk about the possibility of starting an at-home daycare (s/o Maria), how we’re thinking about community and curriculum, and what our long-term plan could look like if we decide to do school this way. But before that, we’re recapping Mother’s Day (spoiler alert: Harrison rated his efforts a 6.5/10 and I got food poisoning lol), debating whether you ACTUALLY need to fasten your seatbelt during turbulence, and breaking down the scary moment we had to use the CPR/choking class we took before Tate was born. We came across some wild things this week in Things We DMed Each Other… including a massive baby formula scandal from the ’70s (??) and the ongoing conversation around the “decline” of alcohol (honestly, it feels like you can make data say whatever you want.) WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

Chapter 1: What did Alex and Harrison do for Mother's Day?

25.819 - 27.24 Alex

So first ever guest viewer.

0

27.5 - 30.321 Harrison

Yeah. I'm like a little nervous. It's making me nervous.

0

30.522 - 41.708 Alex

Definitely. You feel additional presence in the room. Yeah. I have a camera in front of her so I can't see her, which is making it a little, um, I want to use the right word.

0

42.328 - 43.729 Harrison

A little less nerve wracking.

0

43.889 - 44.629 Alex

Yeah, sure.

44.889 - 48.371 Harrison

Are you nervous? Do you get nervous? I've never seen you nervous.

50.212 - 52.994 Alex

Of course. Everyone gets nervous. I just don't remember the last time I got nervous.

53.308 - 56.91 Harrison

They say nerves are very healthy because, okay, so back.

56.99 - 62.074 Alex

Oh, I was nervous. Last time I was nervous was during Tate's birth. I was very nervous during the birth.

Chapter 2: How did they handle a choking incident with Tate?

256.985 - 258.246 Harrison

You actually made a note section?

0

258.346 - 274.753 Alex

I actually made a note section because it got so excessive that if we're going to keep, like, I'm good with you saying you don't like dairy. It's this, I'm like allergic to dairy claim, but I'm going to go eat a chicken parm.

0

Chapter 3: What should parents know about baby CPR and choking?

Chapter 4: Do you really need to wear a seatbelt during turbulence?

130.848 - 143.651 Harrison

Well, that's the normal bump that they have until it closes, right? Yeah, so Kathy's in town because Harrison, if you guys remember, you gave us the present of Kill Tony.

0

144.471 - 152.773 Harrison

Going to the comedy show. Yeah. I got food poisoning. I didn't go to the comedy show. Kathy and Harrison have reported that it was an 11 out of 10.

0

152.913 - 159.114 Alex

It was very good. But before I talk about how good it was, there was one very weird thing that they did.

0

160.262 - 160.742 Harrison

At the show?

160.902 - 161.343 Alex

At the show.

161.403 - 161.843 Harrison

Okay, what?

162.503 - 183.714 Alex

They had this band play for like 20 minutes before the show started. May have been more than 20 minutes. And it was like you're going to a pizza restaurant and they bring you sashimi as an appetizer.

185.174 - 186.535 Harrison

Having a band play at a comedy show?

Chapter 5: What is the Nestlé baby formula scandal?

189.329 - 212.444 Alex

for music i'm here for comedy so even if the music's really good like my appetite isn't for music right now now i didn't really have like it was one of those bands that like doesn't really sing so it's just about the music background music but it was really loud but is the alternate like alternate option here that you're at the pizza restaurant and there is no appetizer

0

213.727 - 221.45 Alex

If you have to have something, is sushi fine? Normally comedy shows, they warm you up with openers, right? And so the openers are the appetizers.

0

222.07 - 228.632 Harrison

Oh, and that's like getting a pizza roll. That's or Caesar salad. Yeah. Oh, this is interesting.

0

229.492 - 231.053 Alex

On the topic of Caesar salad.

0

231.293 - 231.553 Harrison

Yes.

Chapter 6: Is there a decline in alcohol consumption?

233.134 - 235.775 Alex

I'm not sure if I'm going to be allowed to do this, but I'm going to go with it.

0

236.395 - 237.535 Harrison

You found a bug in Caesar salad?

0

237.675 - 242.857 Alex

No. Oh. I wrote down on this topic of are you dairy free or aren't you dairy free?

0

243.681 - 248.548 Harrison

Yeah, I knew that was probably going to happen. Caesar salad has Parmesan in it, and most of the time I can have it.

0

248.749 - 253.656 Alex

In Miami, I wrote down all of the dairy that you ate.

254.164 - 255.905 Harrison

Okay, well, why don't you present it to the class?

256.225 - 256.525 Alex

Okay.

256.985 - 258.246 Harrison

You actually made a note section?

258.346 - 274.753 Alex

I actually made a note section because it got so excessive that if we're going to keep, like, I'm good with you saying you don't like dairy. It's this, I'm like allergic to dairy claim, but I'm going to go eat a chicken parm.

Chapter 7: What are the plans for an at-home daycare?

279.055 - 280.656 Alex

There's no cheese left on the plate.

0

280.919 - 291.881 Harrison

I didn't eat any of the parm part of the chicken parm. On an airplane, Harrison, I would never eat dairy on an airplane chicken parm. Which is hardly real, but I would never eat dairy on an airplane.

0

291.901 - 292.862 Alex

So where did you put the cheese?

0

293.482 - 295.342 Harrison

Harrison, all I ate was the chicken.

0

Chapter 8: How are they considering alternative schooling options?

295.362 - 302.063 Alex

It was my chicken parm. I cut you half and I was serving you the bites because you had Tate. Yeah, but there was a very nice guy me serving her the bites.

0

303.104 - 304.724 Harrison

Very nice girl of me to hold Tate.

0

305.928 - 315.592 Alex

Much nicer of you to hold Tate than me to give you the bites. Okay. So I knew what you were, like, it was very clear. Like you were, there was no like hiding what was going on. There was no, the cheese was 50 50.

0

316.512 - 319.474 Harrison

I didn't eat. Okay. What else? What else did I, when did I eat dairy?

0

319.694 - 321.535 Alex

Okay. So Caesar salad.

323.035 - 323.495 Harrison

Parmesan.

323.555 - 324.036 Alex

At Sonny's.

324.056 - 328.698 Harrison

Okay. Um, no, we didn't end up getting the Caesar salad. You said it didn't look good.

328.718 - 332.839 Alex

Sorry. Caesar salad at, um, at the hotel.
