Episode Description

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re talking labor induction, due date myths, and birth signs (because YES, we are officially T-10 days and I’m overanalyzing cusp babies, my last meal before birth, and why hospital bags are such a thing in the first place.) We also get into WHY I’m getting induced again, the fact that dilation charts are absolutely insane (Cheerio -> BAGEL?!), and the craziest places people have given birth (NYC subway car = new fear unlocked), which, if anything, did not calm me down at all.

We start with Facebook in 2026 being the actual wild, wild west, Harrison getting very locked in for the World Cup (turns out it’s not for 2 months??? but it’s EVERYWHERE), and the realization that kids really do teach you to stop and smell the roses (literally). Plus, Tate’s first dance recital is coming and I’m already emotional about it.

Then we get into a little pop culture break, including who is actually A-list (apparently NOT Hilary Duff??), West and Amanda (skip if you must), and our Paradise season 1 review.

Plus, sorry, we have like 10 minutes of doom and gloom: (1) Texas Roadhouse “butter” not actually being butter, and (2) lead found in baby clothes (guys... being a consumer is hard).

Okay, finally, we end with something to celebrate: a plane passenger gives birth mid-flight, and both mom and baby are healthy!!! I tried to think of the craziest place I could give birth and we figured it out (LIVE ON THE POD hahahha).

LOVE YOU GUYS!
