What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

Alex Bennett 0:00
All right, let's get started. Ready?
Harrison Fugman 0:01
Yeah, let's get the vibes right. Vibes are good. Are vibes good?
Alex Bennett 0:06
Vibes are so good. Really?

How can you tell who your baby looks like from an ultrasound?

Alex Bennett 0:07
Vibes are great. Vibes are great.

When should dad stop traveling before the baby is born?

Alex Bennett 0:09
Yep, ready? Let's just get into it. It's going to be a fun episode. Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents in a Podcast. Today is a fun episode. We just left the doctor. The baby has gained one pound, and I checked officially. We went last Thursday, so he gained a pound in six days.

What are the challenges of weaning off a pacifier?

Yes.
Alex Bennett 0:29
It's a lot.
Unknown 0:30
You know what we never talked about? Is that like how much weight you're actually gaining is just like not the baby. It's the water and the...
Alex Bennett 0:39
Fluids, yeah.
Unknown 0:40
Fluids and the blah, blah, blah.
Alex Bennett 0:42
Right. Because if he weighs six and a half pounds, then okay, I've only gained six and a half pounds. No. Because you gain hormone weight, you gain fluid weight, you gain all this other... But what I am not on board for are these charts telling you how much you're supposed to gain weight-wise, first trimester, second trimester, third trimester. No. Those charts drive me insane because it's like you're actually allegedly not supposed to gain weight in the first trimester. In the first trimester, if you're craving a bag of Doritos, you have to eat the bag of Doritos or your body like attacks you. If you decide you want an Arby's roast beef sandwich, you got to get it.

Why does pregnancy cause rapid hair and nail growth?

Alex Bennett 1:22
Like the only way out of the first trimester is through. And then these dieticians put out these pregnancy charts and they're like, well, only gain a pound. And it's like, what? We already have enough going on.

Are we officially in the toddler tantrum phase?

Alex Bennett 1:36
Like the audacity. I think that however anybody, however much, like I don't get on scales when I'm pregnant because that's not the point. And so I just think those charts are adding a level of Not comparison, but adding a level of, what's the word? Like pressure? Yeah, pressure that doesn't need to be there. And they drive me crazy. So if you see those charts, please ignore them. I've unfollowed people that have posted those charts. Because I just think if you're making the baby, you're doing enough.
Harrison Fugman 2:10
Preach.
Alex Bennett 2:11
Okay, sorry for the tantrum off the top.
Harrison Fugman 2:13
True or false? No, sorry. Arby's is your favorite fast food joint?
Alex Bennett 2:17
It used to be. Or was, sorry. Yes, true. I would get the five for $5.95. I would get two roast beefs. This is my order.

Is United's new 'Relax Row' a good idea or a gimmick?

Alex Bennett 2:25
Ask Sydney. Five for $5.95, two roast beef sandwiches, one apple turnover or cherry turnover if they had them, one jamocha shake, which would always hurt my stomach, and curly fries. And I would eat that before volleyball practice. The curly fries?

What are the worst dad behaviors in the delivery room?

Alex Bennett 2:40
Okay, so.
Harrison Fugman 2:40
I've never had Arby's.
Alex Bennett 2:42
Oh. Well, here's the problem.
Harrison Fugman 2:44
Wait, sorry. So two roast beef sandwiches, the curly fries, the shake, and what else? Cherry turnover. The cherry turnover. Would that be dessert? Yes. Okay. That's like a pie?
Alex Bennett 2:56
Yes. Okay. It's like an apple strudel kind of. But the problem is then in college, I was like, I love Arby's. Let me try Arby's. So I went and tried it and I was horrified. It was nothing like I remembered. Like our Arby's had like – those sandwiches weren't flat. They were voluptuous.
Harrison Fugman 3:13
But I was the same way growing up with Wendy's where we would go and get the spicy chicken sandwich there. Like I thought that was a gourmet sandwich. And now when you go and have it, it tastes like cardboard.
Alex Bennett 3:25
Well, and that's how it is with some of the high school restaurants I would go to. Like I remember when I – where did I take you? Oh, no. I'm not going to do that to cattlemen's, but –
Harrison Fugman 3:34
I love Cattleman's.
Alex Bennett 3:35
I love Cattleman's too.
Harrison Fugman 3:36
Do you know what I really like? Eichens. Well, everyone knows I love Eichens. I don't like Eichens. I love Eichens. I like Brahms.
Alex Bennett 3:43
Oh, I like Brahms. I like Brahms.
Harrison Fugman 3:44
I think Brahms is really good.
Alex Bennett 3:46
But Brahms only has so many stores within because they have to be close enough to their farm so their meat is fresh. So that's why it's a superior experience.
Harrison Fugman 3:53
Do you know that I've had Brahms every single time I've been to Oklahoma City?
Alex Bennett 3:57
I did know that, yes, because I've been with you every single time you've been to Oklahoma City.
Harrison Fugman 4:00
Yeah, I've never missed a Brahms because we've missed one or two Eichens.
