Harrison Fugman 1:02
Yeah. Big smoothie era.
Alex Bennett 1:04
It's quite nice.
Harrison Fugman 1:05
Well, Bubz started it. Bubz loves smoothies. And then the problem was when we would order iced coffees to the house, she would think they were smoothies and she wouldn't understand why she couldn't have it.

What updates do the hosts have regarding their house and pool project?

Harrison Fugman 1:13
So we started making her smoothies and then we were like, we want a smoothie. And now all of us just drink smoothies all the time.

Greek yogurt.

Greek yogurt, and a splash of milk, and... Peanut butter. Peanut butter or peanut butter powder.

And ice.
Alex Bennett 1:39
No ice.
Harrison Fugman 1:40
Oh, I put ice in mine.
Alex Bennett 1:42
No ice. The frozen berries do it for you.

Oh, that's why mine was runny today, probably. All right, ready?
Unknown 1:48
Okay.

How are the hosts preparing their toddler for the arrival of a new sibling?
