Reverting to first-time parent mode, AM/FM radio & why don't airports have play areas?!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Wednesday!!! We start with a real one: Rocky spiked a 102.7 fever this week (he's totally fine now!!), and even though we're second-time parents, it was a first-time occurrence for us… and we went RIGHT back into first-time parent mode. We get into how we handled it (calling the pediatrician hotline at 4 AM), how our in-home pediatric practice works (& why we love it so much), and the bigger realization: no matter how many kids you have, a new challenge puts you right back at square one.

Which spirals into a continued conversation on what's harder, 0 to 1 or 1 to 2 (the diaper-on-backwards story makes its return lol), the wild fact that you don't have to pass ANY test to take a baby home from the hospital (Alex is now drafting the exam as we speak), and what magically flips at milestone dates?! (A fever at 2 months 29 days = ER, but at 3 months 1 day = Tylenol at home??)

Then the fun stuff: the "nepo baby" discourse (Harrison JUST learned who Gracie Abrams's dad is?! + the Phoebe Gates cookie-tracking situation), is anyone still ACTUALLY listening to AM/FM radio (sound off in the comments, we need the data!!), a 1-minute Summer House update (don't skip it!), and the Nantucket store that put up a "no influencers allowed" sign… which immediately went viral because of influencers lol.

And the travel corner: the Delta pilot who officially set the PLAYBOOK on handling flight delays (Diallo, we love you 🥹), why don't airports have play areas?! (we're campaigning), and does anyone actually get their shoes shined at the airport?!. We finish it off with: what's going on with the TikTok algorithm right now and the $9 tip on a $612 bill that has the internet fighting (we have THOUGHTS).

LOVE YOU GUYS!
