Dad insecurities, providing for the family & bonding with baby

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re getting a real look at fatherhood from a new dad’s perspective. Harrison’s answering all your questions: What does “providing” actually mean to him? Did he bond instantly with Tate? What’s surprised him the most about being a dad? And how has his view of me changed since becoming a mom? Before we get into it, we’ve got some updates: new neighbors (👀), MDW (it looks different these days) and Alex’s thoughts on babysitters leaving dishes in the sink..  And in Things We DMed Each Other, we’re talking Google’s new Veo model (WOAH and also LOL) and the very dark side of crypto. We LOVE YOU GUYS!
