Push presents, ‘pregnancy robots’ & the male loneliness epidemic

from Two Parents & A Podcast · host Alex & Harrison Fugman

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re letting Harrison in on the “girls’ dinner” conversations. Women in menopause can still get pregnant?! The world’s first pregnancy robot is here?! And the most out-of-the-box push present ideas… (He genuinely didn’t understand how we got here, but that’s just girls’ dinner for you.) That led us straight into the “male loneliness epidemic” (have you guys heard of this??) and what we think could actually help. Before that, we kicked things off with the best new-mom advice I ever got (professional family photos—life-changing), why I caved on Tate’s first birthday party (I swore we weren’t doing it), and the “Chief of Flights” parenting hack (one owns the trip there vs. the trip back). And for the fun stuff: culture-shifting marketing campaigns (Gillette basically invented leg shaving??) and a classic Bicker of the Week: is it actually legal to turn left on red?! (I had NO idea.) LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
