Content Warning: War in the Middle East, hate speech, Antisemitism. Today we’re talking about what it’s like parenting kids in what seems like an ever more dangerous world. How we cope with hate-both against us and our kids- and danger, and risk, but most of all how we come to terms with not being able to put our kids in a bubble and guarantee nothing bad ever happens to them.

This week we're tired... so we thought what better time to talk about how we cope with being tired and still having the job of showing up as dad. We recognize our pitfalls, as well as some of the strategies we use to be the best version of ourselves we can be with the energy we have available.

This episode we are... cutting it close. That's right, we are talking about the big snip; vasectomy. Have you had one? What are the stigmas around it? Concerned about the finality of the decision?

This episode is FIRE! We get a little spicy today as we discuss some of our parenting hot takes. We take on the baby deep state, raising murderers for kids, and other off the wall things that go through our collective weird brains.

If you have a hot take, send it our way! [email protected] for a video take, or drop a take in our mentions on social media, or the comments on YouTube.

In this episode the dads are working on gentle parenting? There is no single definition of "gentle parenting," but in this episode, Ethan and Alex discuss what it means to them, and how it is, and will continue to be, a work in progress.

In the episode, Ethan referenced a study about kids acting worse around their mothers, you can find that information in this article here: https://www.moms.com/why-toddlers-whine-more-around-mom/.

Welcome to part two of our discussion on pregnancy and birth, where we get more into the birth side of things, and some of the moments that really scared us and challenged us as dads during that process. Content warning: In this episode, we discuss some medical emergencies and battling with thoughts of mortality. It may not be suitable for all audiences.

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/
