What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Ready? Yes. Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents in a Podcast. I think what we're going to address right off the top here. I thought you weren't going to notice. Harrison's laptop is open. There's a World Cup game on it. We're going to do a little closer doodles. A little closer doodles there. One thing that's really cute with Tate is Harrison and I call like an app snoozer doodles. And the other day I said it to Tate. I was like, are you going to take a snoozer doodles? And she was like, snoozer doodle. Like she tried to say it back. It was so cute. Happy Friday, fam.
I'm going to give this to you off the top.
What are you going to give to me off the top?
I'm sorry.
In advance?
No, I'm sorry.
For what?
I did something very annoying.
He did. It was going to be our bicker of the week, but... There's no bicker.
I did something that was annoying.
Harrison loses his AirPods a lot, and that's okay, but he borrowed my AirPods, and he returned them dead, and I was going to the gym. Oh. And that was very sad for me. Very sad for me.
Very frustrating.
But you know what's the most frustrating part of it? Not that you gave me the AirPods dead. I'm fine with that.
Obviously, I didn't know they were dead.
Of course not. The worst part about it is I, at the beginning of this year, got you two pairs of AirPods. I got you a regular pair and a backup pair. Yeah. Both are gone. Which is fine. But I've tried to get ahead of this AirPod debacle for you.
Yes. No, you've done all the right things. One of the AirPods is... I have the AirPods, but I lost one of them. It's somewhere in our bed.
Yeah, I know. There's nothing worse than that.
And I just have not been able to find it.
And then the second one... The sheets were changed on Monday, so it's not in the bed.
It's like under one of the things. It's been two weeks. The other one, Bubber... Bubber, the last time they were seen was in Bubber's hands.
Yeah, then that could be a shoe.
And I've been looking for them.
I mean, that could be anywhere. Yeah. That's gone. Really anywhere. Gone with the wind. Okay, so we are recording this the day before we leave for D.C., We're doing a quick trip to D.C. with my best friend and her husband and her parents. Do you know what I love about my best friend Nugget, as we call her? Do you know what I love about her?
Please share.
You know, we're going on this trip and I've probably talked to her three times this month. And it's just been a sporadic text of like, what are you packing? And then like one of us won't reply. And it's just like, I'll see you there. You'll let me know what time. I don't even know if we ended up at the same hotel and I know neither of us care. I love a low-maintenance friend like that.
She's great.
She's the best. We're also just highly compatible, which is lovely. So yeah, we're in D.C. We're doing tours. And we were going to record in D.C. And then we were like, no, we'll record the day before because we want to do... A fun episode where we're going to do a couple things off the top about the stock market, which Harrison's going to walk us through. And then we're going to do some fun things about iPads and kids. Pacifiers. Parenting advice. It's a game. This is sort of like a game episode. A would you rather.
All right. Let's start with that stuff then.
Let's start with please. Pretty please. Subscribe. Send this episode to a friend. You're not going to be able to turn your laptop without me noticing. It's so big.
You got to start with the stock market thing because we left on a cliffhanger. On Wednesday's episode. Yeah, the people are going to be wondering.
Okay, so 100 years of the stock market. Yeah. Listen, I want England to win this game too, honey. But close the laptop. All right, stock market. Walk us through this stat. From 1926 through 2025, 30,000 stocks were analyzed. Just 27.6% of stocks outperformed the market. 60% of stocks incurred wealth reductions, and the median stock returned a negative 7%. 46 firms accounted for half of the wealth created by the stock market. Okay, so basically you're saying half the stock market packs the punch and the other half doesn't.
