I think you'd like it, but I think he's giving you a deadline.
Harrison 0:29
What do you think of the house?
Alex 0:30
I love the house. What do I think of the location? I don't know. What do you think of the housing? The house is a 10 out of 10.

How can date night swaps with neighbors save money?

Harrison 0:35
When you shut your eyes, is that where you want to spend the next five years?
Alex 0:38
I have to go drive it again. I love the inside, but you know the three L's of real estate.
Harrison 0:43
I actually don't.
Alex 0:44
Location, location, location.
Harrison 0:46
All right. Looks like we're talking at four. Okay. Well, let's get this show on the road.
Alex 0:51
Ready?
Harrison 0:52
Yeah.
Alex 0:52
All right. welcome back to two parents in a podcast harrison every time i think you're going to say two parents in a pod welcome back to two parents in a pod i have a fun announcement for you i'd love to hear it apple heard our conversation about phones and they said okay so you don't want to give your kids an iphone what about an apple watch what about a kid-friendly apple watch oh i'm out Oh, it's a great idea. You can call on it, you can track the Apple Watch, and you can Apple Pay on it, but there's no TikTok, there's no Instagram, there's no scroll on the interwide web. It's a great idea.
Harrison 1:31
Okay, maybe back.
Alex 1:32
Yeah, best idea ever.
Harrison 1:33
Wait, so please explain it to me.
Alex 1:35
So basically, it's a kid-friendly watch. And the idea is these parents that don't want to have social media on their kids' phones, but they want their kids to be safe and they want them to have a way to call them. Also a form of payment. Also a way to track them. All of that's on this Apple Watch.
Harrison 1:50
Okay. I'm into this.

What important safety topic did Harrison learn about babies?

Alex 1:52
I'm very into it.
Harrison 1:55
But I guess, could I do that for myself too?
Alex 1:58
Absolutely. But there's no email. There's no social media.
Harrison 2:02
But it's for adults as well.

What should parents know about sunscreen for babies?

Alex 2:04
No, this is designed to be a kid watch. And so you can make like the, I think that if the backgrounds are kid friendly, like it's a very kid-esque watch.
Harrison 2:13
But I guess what I just realized, and we should probably set the stage for the viewer who didn't listen to the episode we're talking about. I said that, I guess this ties into two separate conversations we've had. The first conversation is how I want a phone, a different phone for after 5 p.m., where the only thing that phone has is Google Maps, the ability to make and receive calls, and the ability to send text messages. I want it to have zero social media, zero video.
Alex 2:42
Cause I got to blow up your spot here.
Harrison 2:44
Yeah.
Alex 2:44
You have that app that's supposed to like, like limit your time. Yeah. Just turn it off all the time. It's just an extra step. Just delete the app.
Harrison 2:51
I'm now, I now delete. I used to be every 15 minutes. I'd turn it off every eight hours now.
Alex 2:55
Oh my God. Yeah. Oh, I've never one time seen that like time saver pop up and be like, you've been on TikTok too long. And then you proceed to get off TikTok.
Harrison 3:03
No, but to keep the train on the track, So that was conversation one of what we want after five o'clock. And we were this week talking about boundaries of the phone in the home. And and then number two is we talked we've talked a lot about the book, The Anxious Generation and how it suggests not giving your kid a smartphone until 16. And it ties anxiety and a whole bunch of mental health issues to anxiety. the large scale penetration of smartphones with kids. And so this kind of could solve two birds with one stone. And do we want, what would you think of doing only Apple watches in the house for us after a certain time?
Alex 3:43
I'd love to.
Harrison 3:44
What would that time be appropriately?
Alex 3:45
Five.
Harrison 3:47
Five seems a little early. Six. Six feels like pretty good.
