In this episode, we discuss the politics of playdates, as well as the awkward situation of not liking your child's friend and/or their parent.

This episode is a bit of part 2 to our diet episode from a couple weeks ago. We’re discussing our history with working out, as well as what we do now for working out, including some of our things we wish we could tell our younger selves.

We mention that there are a few resources we’d recommend to people looking for information on fitness.

Dr. Andrew Huberman’s 6-part series with Dr. Andy Galpin is an encyclopedia of fitness content. Check out part 1 here: https://hubermanlab.com/dr-andy-galpin-how-to-assess-improve-all-aspects-of-your-fitness/

Today we are talking about space and stuff... yours, your kids', and each others'. Personal space matters and having some boundaries and clearly marked possessions can be important to keep you and your partner sane.

Obviously our podcast title is a plan on “dad bod”, but today we’re actually working on it! We go through some of our history with dieting and weight loss. Then we introduce a new segment where we actually create some accountability to practice some of the things we talk about here.

Please note, before you go on any diet or weight loss plan, you should consult with a professional, whether that’s a doctor and/or a nutritionist. They are the experts.

Here are some experts that we have utilized, or are married to!
