In short
The hosts discuss “first-time parent mode” during a baby fever scare, then pivot to pop culture and parenting-adjacent topics: nepo babies and alleged “cookie tracking” in shopping apps, AM/FM radio’s staying power, and airport family amenities (formula access and why airports lack play areas). They also share travel delay experiences and critique influencer culture.
Guests
No guest interview. The episode is hosted by “two parents” (Jules and Harrison mentioned), plus “Tate” and “Rocky” are their children (not guests).
Guest backgrounds
Not applicable (no external guests).
Key claims
A baby fever of 102.7°F in a ~3-month-old can be managed with pediatrician guidance if it’s below the 100.4°F “needs immediate ER” threshold for younger infants; higher fever doesn’t always mean worse illness. Nepo babies’ success is a mix of talent and hard work. Shopping “affiliate” apps may be accused of taking credit via cookies even without user intent. Airports should add play areas and better family services.
Notable examples

It's Emma Stone. Yeah. And Amanda Bynes is in it too, like pre - Yeah. Everything that's going on. Did Emma Stone just get married? No, Emma Roberts. Emma Roberts just got married. I'm going to add this. to uh should it be like a hungover show watch is that when it's gonna land for me yes actually and you know um do you know the book the scarlet letter no you didn't have to read the scarlet letter in like high school i'm sure but i don't know the scarlet letter i don't know like i couldn't actually tell you what it was about but it's like goes back to like witchy days and like this lady maybe she had a ex-marital extra marital affair and then they made her wear a scarlet a okay to be like she's a whore and sorry before the welcome um an easy a is like the modern spin on the scarlet letter just like what's the one amanda bynes movie he um what she's the man no that's not the one there's one amanda bines movie that like it's a sydney white sydney white did you see that i never saw that it's a like a modern play on snow white uh that's a genre of movie i enjoy a modern movie based on like an old book she's the man based on hamlet thank you p yes yes okay did not know this yeah so um check them out i don't know what so emma did anybody see emma Roberts wedding no I have no idea who that is so she looked beautiful her her mother was there and I was sad that her father was not he's a famous actor who's Emma Roberts just like from American Horror Story I learned of something I don't know if we want to go this route on the Nepple baby thing sure tell us should alex welcome us first okay yes jules welcome back to another episode of two parents in a podcast happy wednesday we ubered we ubered here he took the wrong route so we got out and walked a little it was lovely yeah well we forgot the car at the car wash so that's really forget it knew it was there and just neglected to go get it all day yesterday and then today walked outside and looked at each other.
3:43Well, there was a moment. Oh, we forgot it was there. This morning? Yes. Yes. We were proceeding with our morning as though we could get here in four minutes and we could not. Yeah. So we're going off script. So what about the Nepo Babies? Just start the episode. You know how sometimes you tell yourself the story of how an artist was founded? So I did that with Gracie Abrams. I was just going to ask if this was not Gracie Abrams. Here's this girl who, you know, was making YouTube videos in her room and uploading them and just had the voice of an angel. And then I found out her dad was J.J. Abrams.
4:25And I'm not familiar with who J.J. Abrams is. He's just like a mega director. Okay, so does that take away from Gracie's success or talent, etc.? How do we handle that in our brains? her mom's um famous too but who's the mom pylon katie mcgrath she's a film and tv producer okay but like yes and no but um what's her name gracie i watched an interview like she's a she's a good nepho baby she's like aware she's such a good oh i hate how judgy this is but i didn't know and i I am a fan of her music. I just was very unaware. And the story I told myself was not, I guess, not the reality. Well, so Billie Eilish, for example.
5:14I told myself the Billie Eilish story. She, after watching that documentary, her music's not my favorite, but like she as a artist, her and Phineas, unfreaking believable. Okay. If you come out and tell me she's a Nepo baby, I'd be like, and just a purely talented, deserves all the fame. I don't know anything about Gracie Abrams, so I need somebody to tell me now where we're ranking this in comparison to our girl, Billie. Very good. Okay, great. I'm happy to hear it. I'm thrilled for her success. That I'm very thrilled. I guess I was, it all comes up because it was just like thinking, speaking of things that I don't know anything about.
5:55I was very surprised to learn this. Okay, I'm going to give another point for the Nepo babies here. Or I'm going to make a case for them. I don't think in terms of a Gracie Abrams level of success, I think there's a lot of Nepo babies that would love that. They would love to be famous like that. Yes. But they don't all get there. So I do think that there is some combination of talent and hard work that falls into it. Now, the other Nepo baby a bit under fire. Has anybody seen Phoebe Gates? Yes. So there was some cookie situation happening there, some tracking. Does anybody know about this more than I do?
6:33I have looked into this like a decent-ish amount. Okay. So let's tell the listener. Okay. So Phoebe Gates has a company - Called Fia. Called Fia that does what? It is some form of AI shopping app. Okay. They were, explain it to us in layman's terms, what they were doing with the cookie tracking. Okay. So, do you know what Honey is? I love Honey. All right. I don't. You don't? No. So, Honey was bought, I believe, by eBay. Okay. And now there's a big class action lawsuit against Honey. Okay. Which is what? What's Honey? so honey is you install the app on your phone and then when you go to check out you hit the honey button and it tells you if there's any codes cool great great app right okay like codes available for a discount yeah like code to parents yeah great love it yeah and so So basically, that's kind of the example is honey was supposed to be using honey codes.
7:45Okay. And what's her company? Hold on. I got to think for one second. Fia? Okay. So.
7:56We're just going to keep it rolling while you think. Yeah. So I'll speak to Fia because they're getting in trouble for the same thing. But rather than kind of take it here and bring it there, we'll just talk about Fia. Here's what Fia's being accused of. So you see that shirt. Yep. You use the Fia app to find a similar shirt on Nordstrom's. Free people. And then you go and you buy it on Nordstrom's. And then Fia gets a commission for that. Ah, okay. What they're accused of being doing is you would just have Fia downloaded. You would be on Nordstrom's. You would click buy and they were taking credit for that purchase.
8:38Wow. Like had it downloaded or was it a certain number of days? Because like I don't know if I'm going to out. I mean it's not outing but like that's how ShopMai and LTK work. They put a cookie on your target app for 30 days. and then like your cookie is sitting there for 30 days and you get credit for but those sales didn't don't you have to have clicked through yes here's the point is if the way the investigation was written was if i'd never so like i have fia downloaded yeah all right i never use fia to end up on nordstrom's oh you were just typing in nordstrom.com looking at a shirt yeah so that's bad yeah so that's what they're being accused of it is the last i heard it hadn't i mean this is weeks ago it hadn't been addressed which is but she has not addressed it specifically i don't i don't think so or the address has been pretty like it feels like it's really being managed by a pi agency and do we which i feel like is the opposite of what you're supposed to do don't they have a lot of um heavy hitter investors yeah they just had like a big massive fundraiser so bill gates his daughter yeah of course and i don't know i saw bethany frankel's take which was just like didn't bill glance at her homework like before she turned it in or that's probably the funniest thing or no she just turned it anyways yeah it feels it feels really bad it feels really bad but now another point to jules on the shot my stuff which we love shop my and i don't think they're doing the same thing but they're probably looking at phoebe a little harder i don't know maybe maybe they're looking at her more intensely i have no idea i just saw this feels you can't do it well that's different now that i'm understanding like that's different shop my is using cookies the way that cookies are supposed to be used uh-huh just downloading the app and getting credit for anything you're shopping on is completely different yeah not fair yeah and i think the honey piece just because i talked about it and i'm i'm i was i read a guy's tweet which may be different than the lawsuit which is kind of why i stopped myself ah but a guy was talking about his experience as a brand working with honey and basically what he found was that um honey was giving like the two parents code and not the honey code and the reason why they like were giving commissions to honey was for traffic that honey would bring to the website not that other parties would bring to the website right yes follow yes and we we have a friend that is an influencer her code got put onto honey and she made all these commissions off of like people using her code and the brand asked her to pay them back she was like it's not my like she didn't put it on honey or know that it went on honey and they ended up like letting her go they gave her commissions yeah yeah who asked her to pay the brand 40 versed on this whole subject the brand asked her to pay it back no and she's like it's not my fault that people use this code no it's not my fault at all okay no and you they paid her the money and then they did some sort of audit and they asked her to pay it back no it's crazy that's insane yeah wow okay so there's a little nepo baby cookie tracking just i could just like do things the right way long story short yeah it's all gonna catch up to you she's but that was my point with the gracie abrams thing was like she did things the right way she did things the right way and listen i think and hopefully phoebe learns from this or i don't i don't know i hope maybe it's not true i don't and that's part of the problem with going on scripts sometimes it's like you you i don't know why you wait things come out of your mouth uh no but we program the way things come out of your mouth isn't necessarily like the point doesn't always get across strong and the point that i was just trying to make was like it's actually probably a positive one was i was stunned to learn what her background was because i really thought she was like a grassroots founder in um you know in her basement making making music so and i and and i don't i actually yeah that's it so you guys know we don't have school aged kids yet but truly harrison and i have been talking about education since before tate was born and when she was three months old i went and toured two schools including a montessori and one thing about us is we never really do the things traditionally so when i heard about this alternative option i was so intrigued and i'm very excited to share it with you guys K-12 powered schools offer tuition-free, accredited online public education for students in kindergarten through 12th grade, which is honestly incredible.

16:07I think it's different. No, that was like the pop culture. Sorry, that was the... Pop. The pop music. Pop station. Okay, the KSFM equivalent.
16:18How long until radio stations are gone? 20 years? Self-driving cars? Bluetooth only? They've just adapted to serious. I'm a religious... I Bluetooth. My mom still listens to the radio. Nori Minich. but does she listen to the radio via like serious or like i don't in her car no i don't think so she's just like raw dogs like yeah she listens to like the morning commute type of vibe and she listens to the commercials yeah but this is still a huge industry like serious is a massive company and a huge driver of that is um is like the new age radio hold on so the but the 102.7 kiss fm is not on sirius i assume it is okay like kiss fm still exists i don't like think i pay for sir i just only just get in the car and i just want to listen to my spotify playlist what we're yes or my book on tape so i'm not well versed on what's going on on the radio the question is like is nori not is nori going on and like tuning to find the 94 like her car is not from 1990 no but But like you go on and you like you hit the Bluetooth, you hit the the serious Internet radio or you hit the.
17:43She's listening to the radio, AM radio. She clicks the AM FM button. AM 1100. Yeah. OK, we need we need to know. We got to we got to search how many people still do that. Do they have data? I'm sure they have the listeners of that. Tell us, please, in the comments. This is your first sound off in the comments. am FM radio reaches roughly 84 to 92 percent of adults in the United States with over 250 million listeners who tune in regularly across traditional signals and digital streams see the digital streaming is what I would have assumed it all goes to but they're counting that so we need to break those apart am fm in the car is 57 to 84 percent of the share 57 to 8 wow what it's it's the old people sorry mom oh i mean what do you guys do bluetooth apple carplay yeah carplay that's bluetooth sorry same yeah yeah i'm full apple carplay you're putting your your music on yeah like i don't even I don't even know how to use the interface of my regular car same me there like I plug in my phone and then Apple CarPlay pops up and that's the interface I use that's exactly me too I don't even know if I like have XM you have no serious I have no idea don't care we don't okay we don't yeah I definitely know how much is serious not cheap cuz that's yeah okay interesting Jules is telling us how much serious is before we move on anywhere between four and fifty dollars a month depending on what you need that would become expensive fifty dollars a month um all right so rocky had a 102.7 fever which i was like where were i know
19:34so the problem not the problem with that but what surprised me with that was tate when she was so little never had a fever that high and rocky is a little over three months and i know whenever babies are below three months at our practice, this is not medical advice, but our pediatrician, the way they do it, is if your baby three months and younger has over a 100.4, which is what they define a fever, your baby needs to go be seen immediately. At the emergency. At the emergency room. So when I took the 102.7 fever, I was like, well, we're just three months and some change. Like, does this qualify that we need to go to the emergency room?
20:19Turns out it didn't. We gave him some Tylenol to take the fever down. Well, we called them, and they walked us through what we should do. Yes. This was not our decision. Yeah, we were not Googling this. It was at 4 a.m. We called our pediatrician immediately. They were like, okay, here's what we're going to watch for. Wet diapers. We need to make sure we're getting wet diapers. We also need to give some Tylenol, and we need to make sure it goes down in 30 minutes. And it did. but it was one of those really funny moments where even though it's your second baby, it was a first time occurrence for us.
20:52And you really revert back to like first time parent mode, even though you have two kids. Totally. Totally. I have a couple different paths to get on here. One, to build off what you were just saying. One of like the most comforting things of Rocky has been so far has been like, I felt it feels like we've seen everything before. and this was like the first thing i can recall that we didn't experience with tate in our first three to four months that we did with rocky and first time parent hat went right back on um on that note when i put the situation into chat gpt they told us they said go to the er Really?
21:33Yeah. And so had our pediatrician not called us back right away and walked us through the steps of things to do, then I think that's what we would have done. It is interesting because it was 4 a.m. So our options is we've got you and I to draw on experience, and Tate never had this. So we're sitting there looking at each other. We call our pediatrician, but we talk to a hotline, so we do have to wait for them to call us back. And then past that, like, you do just Google it. Yeah. Because, like, you don't have a friend awake to call. And luckily they called us back right away. And the other things that they called to look out for, so as you mentioned, they said making sure that he's still peeing and eating.
22:18But then they also just were like, they talked about observing him for being lethargic. Yep. Which he was not. and then any issues breathing. Yes, yes, yes. So we were looking for all of that. And the fever, obviously, we were, I mean, Tylenol was helping. It's subdued. What? Yeah, and it's subdued. Subdited? Subdued. Subdued. Subdued is correct. Subsided was maybe the word you were looking for? Yes, that was what I was looking for. I think both are right. So taking a bath, he loved. and also what our night nurse told us about is like getting a wet paper towel and tucking that in his diaper to help cool him off a little bit and he really liked that and other than that he just wanted to be held the whole time but he just kept peeing so we knew he was hydrated he wasn't drinking his full six ounces by any means he would drink like he'd wake up he'd drink a couple he'd drink a couple more and they were just like make sure he's drinking some and then the next day he got a little cough so we sent in some videos of him like breathing um and it just turns out he's got a viral they're like he's just got something viral and it just the the level of the fever is what scared me but what i love that our doctor said again not medical advice was like the higher the fever is not always correlated to a more sick kid like some babies are just going to run hotter than others yeah and also but like that that breaking over 100.4 like that is the key level to pay attention to.
23:47Yeah, and watch. And so he's just been on watch, but now he's been fever-free for 24 hours. This may be just for the Austin listener, but, and I don't even know if they're beyond Austin, but we use our pediatrician. They are. We had a Dallas hotline, girl. Okay. So I want to talk about our pediatrician for a second because they're called Modern Pediatrics. It is$25 a month. It's not sponsored. Not at all. As long as you're covered by insurance. and they do at-home visits and which are incredible especially in the early days but then beyond that like their responsiveness over um over text and their hotline is like this this last situation at 4 a.m put me over the edge of like they are phenomenal having somebody to call at 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 a.m like when you're when you're you can't call anybody else and you just have a fever or a rash or whatever it is.
24:49It's so comforting to have them. But I do, it's so funny. Do you know one thing you and I don't know anything about? Please. Taking a baby to the pediatrician office. Like a big thing when you have a kid is, when do they get seen? I'm forgetting the second. Our neighbors take them. Huh? Winnie goes to a pediatrician's office. Most babies go to a pediatrician's office is my point. Yeah. But I'm saying one thing you and I don't know anything about is bringing a baby home from the hospital and the next day putting the kid back in the car. Like when we bring our babies home from the hospital, we stay put for a month.
25:25Like we walk around town. And that's what I think is amazing. It's not like it's some crazy bougie service. Like it is$25 a month. But do you see what I'm saying? Like a lost art for you and I is like we haven't gone to the pediatrician. No, we've talked about that before. I just think that's so funny. Yeah. Like we haven't, well, you and I have gone to the pediatrician, but only one time. And it was when I was, for the new listener, when I was pregnant with Tate and we found out, Harrison and I, you know, new parents to be, we were so excited. We were living in New York. We called, we made an appointment to go to the doctor to see the baby, obviously.
25:59And we went to a pediatrician's office and I sat on like a Winnie the Pooh little table. And the guy was like, how can I help you? And I was like, I'm pregnant. And he was like, oh, I'm a pediatrician. And we were like, oh, so you're not the one that's confirmed. He did confirm the pregnancy with the blood test, which was nice, but. All time embarrassing. All time. We left and we were like, oh, man. And like, you know, telling our families that like we're doing it, how'd it go. Yeah, we were like, we have our first doctor's appointment. Both our moms call. We were like, yeah, we went to a pediatrician.
26:33They were like, oh. I remember we went and we got breakfast after because it was an early appointment and we got breakfast at, do you remember the name of the place? Yes, yes, yes. Maman. Maman. And I was just like, how can we be expected to be parents when we can't even make the doctor's appointment? And I really questioned myself and my ability to be a dad and a family man. We can laugh at this now because you are just like a phenomenal father. But Harrison did have a kind of a crash out at this breakfast where he was like, how are we going to be responsible for a whole other human? Like we can't even go to the right doctor.
27:17I was like, I think what from what I can what I hear a lot about is once the baby comes out, they figure it out. Yeah, that was that was definitely a big a big low. But also you have to remember we took remember when we took that parenting class learning how to swaddle. Yeah. and learning how to like feed a baby and then remember when we were in the dog we were in the delivery room and they were like remember to do the diapers and we were like okay and then the doctor comes back in and she's like this diaper's on backwards like tabs go in the back but this is why like when people talk about zero to one kids and versus one to two kids i like don't understand how people say that one to two is harder than zero to one.
28:00Like zero to one, you know nothing. But this is why. Like you don't know how to do a diaper. You don't know how to swaddle. I know, but. You don't know what's going to happen. To operate a vehicle on the road, you have to take a test. To get behind the wheel of a car, you have to take a driver's test and you have to pass it, okay? To get into college, you have to take a test and you have to pass that. to take home a live human being from the hospital, you don't have to do anything. I know. They just let you take, okay, you do have to do one thing. You have to show them that you have the car seat installed correctly.
28:37That's what we have to do to leave the hospital with a full-blown baby that you're going to raise. Yeah, it is a unique dynamic to this world. There should be, like, in the hospital, they need to have, I mean, I guess you have to fill out the birth certificate, okay? But even if you can't do that, the girl couldn't come in and help you, I would assume. they need to have some written test front and back to be like do you know two plus two like can do you would you have a certain level of do you know i don't know who to call i test i test you should not need to know math to tell a baby two plus two you should know you should have to know that yeah like they you changed two diapers in the morning two diapers in the afternoon that was four total diapers you should i agree you should have to know that another question is like I don't know what day of the week do you take the trash out in your neighborhood I think that would be good what day of the week do you take the trash out in your neighborhood Friday okay thank you you're welcome um can you turn right on red can you turn left I think there should be a couple questions like that some common sense adjacent questions to take a kid home from the hospital I don't know here's a good one can a baby have water that should 100 % BS.
29:45No. Define fever. 100.4 and above. Very good. Diodar thermometer. Amazing. Maybe you can write the test for your next subject article. I think like... Can a baby sit in the front seat? No. That on that note of like the 25 things to like the 25 things to know, the 25 things you should know that you probably don't know before bringing a baby home from the hospital is a really good oh it's a really good substack post maybe I'll do that it's a really good substack post it's also just a really good like just to leave the hospital yeah you know do you have one person you can call if both parents are out and what is just write that number down do you know it by heart I think there's some really good little things on that okay fun little tangent alright so Rocky anyways he's better but it was sad but it was also he was snuggle bunnies and there's some scariness it's just always scary when your kid is sick.
30:44I just wasn't sure. Like, he's a little over three months. I didn't know if the three-month rule still applied. But apparently the day that they're three-month plus one day, you can tolerate the fever. It was a little crazy, this whole, like, the day, just things, I can't talk today. I was flip a switch flips. One of my friends, she, like, wanted to exclusively breastfeed for the whole first year, and she wanted to start doing milk like a little bit earlier than the one year and her pediatrician was just like no you can't give your kid any cow's milk until he turns 12 months old and she's like what's the difference between like 11 and a half weeks and it helps with or 11 and a half months and it helps with my sanity a little bit because she didn't want to do formula versus in two weeks from now truly jules like but i i think that i think that do do you want me to answer that yeah i i because i pushed a lot of this and i think that the idea being like these are the these are the dates that we are comfortable with a hard line in the sand and like the minute you start going back a week two weeks three weeks four weeks things just get a lot more gray and so they're lines of safety and then and as soon as you break those lines of safety like you just start seeing diminishing uh like diminishing support
32:20what diminishing support what does that mean diminishing like i i understand what you're saying like okay the window of like if you look at like the standard deviation of things like every day you go back things get less and less and less safe and so at 12 months we're dealing with 100 safety or 99 safety but then at you know the week beforehand you go from 99.5 to 99.2 and then the next week takes you a percentage point lower and lower and lower and so that's just the line in the sand we've drawn and so every time you deviate from that just the risk goes up and so i think like i i would assume on this 100.4 under three months go to the hospital is like that once you pass that date while you still really need a monitor and it's really really serious like there's a sig a significant drop off in um like in the potential uh risk let me just kind of re restate no i think you did a good job i understood i knew yeah i get it so you're saying they probably could do it at 11 months and but just every time you move a date in a week you're just increasing the risk um and so don't just don't do it you guys know we have a busy house and right now we have the added construction going on outside so dirt gets tracked in inside very quickly, literally all the time.
33:58And you guys know we're a shoes on in the house family, which means between the constant foot traffic, the snacks, the spills and everything in between and the kids dragging in things, our carpets definitely don't stay clean for long. They take a big hit, let me tell you, especially the one in the main room. And that's why I'm obsessed with tumble. It's spill proof machine washable rugs designed for actual people, especially parents. The liquid just beads up right on top of the surface. Like it doesn't soak in. It beads up on top. And the rug pad system is genius. It tucks into hidden pockets on the underside so it doesn't slide around.
34:35And there's the Okio Tech certified so they're non-toxic. And they don't look like utility rugs, you guys. They look like high-end designer pieces. They're beautiful. But they're machine washable rugs and they're made for the better. So for a limited time only, our listeners get 10 % off plus free shipping at tumbleliving.com slash two parents.

35:11Summer House, photo of Jessie was old. How about that? I would say as bad as that could be. So we talked about how West did a photo dump, and it was a photo of him and Jesse. And it turns out, and Jesse commented. And our conversation was, did he get permission? And the assumption was, yes. I thought the assumption was, like, maybe they're hanging out again. They're just, like, friends in general, so, like, whatever. It was so grossly misleading, and I think it speaks to the broader manipulation that is happening as a whole. because like putting that photo in, that is a manipulative photo to put in.
35:49Yeah. You know exactly what you're doing. To be like me and the boys. Yeah. And Jesse commented, but the comment has since been deleted. Yes. Jesse commented and said, this is an old photo before the statement was released. Correct. And then that comment was deleted. Correct. But now all the comments are like, why did you delete Jesse's comment? That's the best thing ever. Okay. So a little touch base on that. Now, Jules, tell us about the no influencer sign in Nantucket. and let's discuss it because people keep DMing us this so we're going to talk about it. Have you guys seen it? I've literally seen the sign but I haven't seen where it's at what it's talking about.
36:25There's a shop in Nantucket. Hold on I had the name up. We've been googling a bunch of things called, should I dox the shop? I'm not going to dox the shop. Okay. Or should I? Well everyone's talking about it. It's called the Four Winds Craft Guild and they just, they put up a sign in their shop that said no influencers no influencers allowed and it's not but it wasn't like tongue-in-cheek like haha no influencers allowed like they are dead serious about it and I think from what I'm understanding it came from Paige Lorenz now Paige Paul opened a Dairy Boy shop on Nantucket and it's like got lines out the door and um it's like from what I understand bringing more business to these other shops around it but people are getting a little maybe overwhelmed by it i don't know but this shop put up a no influencer sign all the influencers now and they took a picture of it put it on instagram all the influencers now are commenting on it and everyone's like we wouldn't know what this shop was if it now wasn't for influencers so like what are we doing here okay so i was going to say putting up the sign is partaking actually in internet culture i don't even know if they knew that probably not gonna get photographed these are clearly just like boomer owners yeah because it's not even they're not saying no influencers they're basically saying like no gen z or millennial right no no publicity please no girlies yeah no photos taken because it's not no influencers it's no people who follow influencers is what they're actually saying and they thought their sign was not like was truly going to get rid of all photos and people coming in but they don't know how the internet works to know people use social media because now it's a topic i would have thought that what they would have been annoyed at is people coming there and taking videos and photos in the store and not buying anything which is very annoying like we i think we've overdone it on cell phone culture like one one thing that drove me nuts at the world cup game nuts was around us people spent more time as a collective section recording the game and watching the game through their phones than actually like observing what was happening irl the guy beside me okay i mean his phone was in my face consistently like throughout the game right And it just, I do think we've overdone it on that side of things.
39:00Hence, like, why I deleted social media. Now let's discuss travel. Because we had, obviously, a lot of travel delays on our way back from Georgia. But one thing that was amazing was we had the best pilot you say to date. I love this guy. Do we have his name? I asked for his name. Diallo? D-I-A-L-L-O? Yeah. diallo sriel or creel c-r-e-a-l creel diallo creel air force i think that this man has set the playbook on how to handle delays and that is consistent communication and honesty and do it in a very, like he did it in such a calm way. And so the, the background here is we're on the plane, you know, we've been on it for call it 20, 30 minutes and he gets on the mic and rather than making the announcement from the cockpit, he goes and he walks to the middle of the aisle.
40:05So everyone can see him. And he goes, Hey everyone, we thought we had a minor repair. it's turning out to be a major repair. I'm waiting to find out from the airline if they want to try and fix it or if they want to get us a new plane. If I don't have an answer for you in the next 15 minutes, I'm going to deplane everyone so that way you can be more comfortable. 10 minutes goes by, he gets on, he goes, hey, they made the call that they want to get us a new plane seven please deboard the situation is still in flux so please stay at the gate because i think i'm going to get updates soon so as we go off he says hey unfortunate news but they're telling us that they want to um actually repair it so we're going to be delayed two hours i'm super sorry uh i'm and then he comes in he's like but i'm still hoping we can get a new plane another 10 minutes goes by and boom we get a new plane and so he holds our hand through the whole situation and i've never felt frustration levels so low during a delay from a collective plan like i feel like normally when you're getting delayed you're looking around and everyone's just like murmuring and you see them like on their phones and typing away like none of that was was happening and um yeah i just i i i really appreciated how he handled the situation end to end and like even things like hey like thank you so much for for being patient with us here one thing to note is while we're not going to time out on this unfortunately our flight attendants were uh we're supposed to have the night off and come back home they're not going to be able to do that they're going to need to spend the night in Austin.
41:57So, you know, hopefully you guys can give some appreciation to them. And like, I don't know, just end to end, I thought that he laid the playbook in communication. And then whenever we got there, do you want to talk about the dunas? No, all you. Well, whenever we landed, we had, well, we had a duna and a car seat. And we were waiting and he was like, you know, he already had known that everyone was obviously delayed. We had the kids and he popped on one of those vests. I don't know what they're called. And he went and got he went and got our car seats for us and brought them to us. And it was so cute.
Read the full transcript
42:31Yeah, he was. And even just like there was a minor delay in in landing and the way he navigated that. Like it was just communication when you're traveling. I'm I'm a huge fan and I feel like there isn't enough of it. This is on Delta, by the way. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Delta. so also Bubber was looking for like when we got back off the plane Tate started walking around and she would come grab our hands and she was like I want to go to the park park and she would say play and park and so we created like a couple games around the airport but it did pose a really good question of like why we're not the only family that's going through travel delays and it would be so nice to have a park which I feel like falls in line so now we have two airport edits which is one formula into a park well i i can't believe this feels like a massive opportunity for airlines especially in airports where airlines have their own terminals like if you're known as the airline that has play areas in your terminal like i feel like that is just a huge opportunity to be like the family friendly the family friendly airline because like with kids we get to the airport earlier than we've ever got to the airport before because it feels like the you know the just the process going through security is is much more expensive between the breast milk and scanning the car seats and etc etc um that if we knew like hey if we fly american there's going to be a play area we would default to american when there's an option it does feel like something southwest west would typically do but it would be cool if like an american or a united did it i feel like and the other thing we always say before we get on the planes is like we got to run tate like we try not to hold her we always try to like exercise her little legs out absolutely yeah and so i think having because like malls have playgrounds you know so like having one at an airport to me does seem like a no-brainer and it would just be so widely used yeah and even if like it was i feel like so many companies would sponsor that so like if the pushback is like an airline doesn't want or the airport doesn't want to allocate that space because otherwise it could be used for like a revenue opportunity I feel like the amount of brands that would be willing to sponsor a playground is is pretty endless even if like you had the area and you had a bunch of vending machines of diapers and formula and everything else well so glad well I was gonna say this wasn't regarding the play the park or play area but a lot of the I guess pushback that we got in the comments about like having formula in the Hudson News was that like is there really enough of a demand for this like how many people are it's not like how many people are actually actually forgetting formula but like how many people are actually flying with a baby I did look it up and it said like one percent of uh people on a plane are are a lap child um so like if formula is expiring and if people like care about certain brands of formula this isn't that like is there enough demand for it and like is there enough demand for a park or something like that well at the airport i think there's do you want me to go go ahead i think there's there's two things.
45:51I think the first, it is a necessity. Formula. Formula is. And so that is very critical. I think the second piece that may not be appreciated is how few units a store needs to sell to be a successful item. And so generally speaking in retail, it depends on the category, it depends on the retailer, but if you're moving north of five units a week that that is generally solid and so i like i think what the um austin airport has like 44 000 seats that move a day and so you're saying you know if you run the math a percent of that is infants and then if you say you know so one percent of 44 000 is 440 yeah and then if you say you know let's say five percent of uh of those customers that need the formula like you're you're clearly hitting a reasonable velocity number so like i the business case like from quick back in the envelope math is there so so do you think it should be a vending machine or because it's funny like you do see the kylie lip kit vending machines or you see i don't know like the headphone vending machines um and i don't know how much those sell but i would think having even a formula and a regular vending machine just because it's such a necessity like it is a necessity vending machines I feel like you don't see as many of them as you think in airports, given all the empty space.
47:42But yeah, whether it's vending machines or actual stores, I think there can be a case made for both. You can replace the shoe shiners. Well, I want those people to have their jobs, but like, come on. What? Have you ever gotten your shoe shined in the airport? I don't think I own a pair of shoes that are able to be shined, Harrison. Your boots. They can shine those? I would think that that's what people are shining is their cowboy boots. I feel very weird. No, a leather work shoe. I feel very weird about someone shining their shoes. Like that to me does not feel right. Why? I agree. I think just like having someone shine your shoe.
48:23It's like you shining your own shoes is one thing. Someone else shining them. But I guess like those shoe shiners, they need jobs. And I'm fully supportive of that. I just, I don't know. It feels weird to me. I wonder if they're paid hourly or if they're paid per customer. Per shoe. Like, I wonder if they are self-employed or if they're working for a shoe shining company. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. A quick pause to talk about Fatty 15. Guys, we are so excited to have the founder on in an upcoming episode. So you can soon hear the whole story about Fatty 15. And spoiler alert, you guys, it involves dolphins.
49:01and I'm really, really, really excited to talk to her because Fatty 15 is the first emerging essential fatty acid to be discovered in more than 90 years. Co-founder Dr. Stephanie Van Watson discovered the benefits of C-15 while working with the U.S. Navy. It's actually such a fascinating story. C-15 strengthens our cells and is a foundational healthy aging nutrient which helps to slow aging at the cellular level which is something I'm so interested in especially being a parent now. And here's the most important part as it relates to parents and listeners. You guys, we're all aging, which means that healthy aging starts from birth.
49:39Studies have shown that C15 is a foundational nutrient that supports healthy growth and development in children and supports our long-term health as adults. And you guys know that there's nothing I want more than to live 100 years so I can spend as much time as possible with my kiddos. And that's why we are so excited to talk to you guys and learn about with you. Fatty 15. Fatty 15 was developed to support healthy aging from kids to parents to grandparents. That's why award-winning Fatty 15 is now available as pure capsules, delicious apple mint gummies for teens and adults, and yummy berry blast gummies for kids.

Like, what are some other things in the airport I would like to see? Airport haircuts, I think I could be a huge fan of. They have manicure and pedicure. They've got that because there's a lot of times when you don't have time. Like if you get hit with a five hour delay, like you can't leave the airport.
50:52So what are you going to do with your time? And especially my hair, my barber who remember I talked about loving him. He left the shop and he moved like 10 minutes south. Is it now too far? It's in theory as a go, that's a non-event. But, you know, the 10 minute drive becomes a 20 minute drive and you're 40 minutes around trip. It's like. It's become. I guess if you have your laptop at the airport, you can do a lot in those five hours. But I'm just trying to think, like, what would be other things? Like, a haircut for guys makes sense. What are other things that people need to get done but they never get done?
51:29You know, you can't mailbox it. Like, you can't do any of those types. You can't go to the grocery store. Like, but what are, I don't know. Like an eyebrow wax. An eyebrow wax is a really good one, Jules. Shopping. I mean, that's probably just why shops. What about nails? They have that. Really? Yeah. Oh. I've done it one time. I have too. It was. I've also gotten a massage. I have gotten a massage at one of those relax things. That's what I could never do because I feel like massages, you'd need everything to be so calm and peaceful and like the madness of the airport, I couldn't turn off on.
52:09Well, if you knew you had five hours. somebody commented on sorry somebody commented on my video talking about how we need to park in the airport saying what about the lounges and and i just i couldn't help but think there's nowhere worse to take your kids the lounge doesn't want your kid in there running around nor does the kid want to be in there it's which i truly didn't know what to do with there so i found some duct tape on the floor and we played tag great game and froze on the piece of the duct tape you nailed that she wanted to play so bad yeah like she just kept saying play and there was nothing more heartbreaking than me being like i can't take you to play right now and i was hoping i would find another kid i am surprised at how few children you're saying fly no that's just infants it's five percent under five under five so there's a huge opportunity to uh on the or there's a huge need on the play area a play area to me like i and i guess there's a play area in chicago we need a play area in every terminal i agree i agree you know if you were in chicago though you would have just taken tate to that like light up walkway okay you know yes that would be a great place just running up and down that for like an hour she would be obsessed with that yeah that was the problem there wasn't even a piece of art on the wall and like in atlanta there i've only been there a couple times but don't you take it the train like everywhere so you can't even like leave your terminal that airport is mega yes it was truly brutal yeah like we left our pack and play at security because we you just you have so many bags okay so we're going and we know we're checking two car seats one pack in place so we know the items that we're checking is three and we get there and i just was like oh my gosh the pack and play is at security we only have the two car seats and it's like well we don't have 30 minutes to go back and backtrack this atlanta airport to get like it's gone yeah but my mom follows you guys on instagram obviously nori she's like why didn't they go back and get the pack and play once they were delayed for four hours i was like you just you can't do that in atlanta like if you were in cleveland if you were in austin yeah you could go back somebody messaged me and they were like why aren't you going back to get in.
54:24I was like, have you been to Atlanta? That's my why Dallas. I could do it. LAX probably. And the communication was very much like this is a fluid situation. And so don't go too far. Definitely don't go back on your seven stops on the tram. That's a 20 minute walk away. Don't go there. Do anything but that. All right. The tweet of the week is I would literally do anything for my friends except text them back in a timely manner this is how we know you're off social media because that's been circulating i've that one's been circulating for about a month really yeah not years honest yeah i had a thing yesterday like went on instagram and it like pushed me back like four months and so all the videos i was getting were like four months old it's kind of nice algorithms it's been happening to me too the algo is odd right now like i got something from i got one of jade's videos from february oh and i was like what is she doing this right now and i looked at the date what video what so i can't remember what it was chicken sees wrap video no no because those to me can be a bit evergreen this she was packing for something and i was like i thought you did that and like she had done it so it's just interesting um all right now we've got tipping rules so somebody posted um their Perry's Steakhouse bill okay the total was six hundred and twelve dollars they tipped nine dollars they were talking about I'm just gonna read you what they say to everyone acting like tipping rules are written in stone let's talk about it I had a six hundred and twelve dollar dinner bill and suddenly I'm just supposed to leave an over$120 tip just because the total was higher.
56:15Same amount of plates are carried, same drinks refilled, same amount of time at the table, but somehow the menu prices decide the server's pay. I left$9. That's still real money for a couple hours of service, but the mood shifted immediately like I'd broken some unspoken law. Then the manager came over talking about industry standards as if that settles the whole debate. Since when does a more expensive meal automatically mean more effort if i order a 50 entree instead of a 20 one does the plate suddenly weigh more i do tip for good service but i don't tip for it but i don't think a tip should automatically be a percentage-based surcharge just because the restaurant charges more what do you think of this i don't know i'm just going to stay in my lane of tipping the 18 to 20 percent like i can't fight these yeah i'm totally with you i don't know i i do think there's a higher higher cost of food does typically mean a nicer restaurant it does mean high quality service yeah high quality service high quality food i think there's something with that and i just think that we're supposed to tip accordingly that's just what i've been told and like my big issue with this is like the person you're hurting most is the person working the hardest right like you're not sticking it to the restaurant you're sticking it to the the person who's relying on that uh right on that on that tip so i don't know this is this to me is not a battle i want to get into i think it's like completely off base i think like if the question in was, hey, you know, I had this terrible experience and, you know, they brought the wrong meal and it came out undercooked.
58:04The question of like, where does the tip go? Again, though, an undercooked meal is not the waiter's fault, though. But OK, whatever. Something that is the waiter's fault. Then I'm much more open to that conversation and how it feels like even like the difference between good service versus bad service, there's not actually a huge delineation. I think that is something to get into. I wish there was a wider range of tips. But it feels like this person is missing the mark. But I also do think, you know, to rack up a$612 bill at Perry's Steakhouse, Like if you're telling me it's a$100 bill, maybe you could equate that to a flower child.
58:52Well, they don't bring your plates at flower child. A true food kitchen. Like a fast casual, but plates are still delivered to you. But the price of the meal is going to be less. $612. I mean, you ordered a lot. They were clearly coming back, probably refilling drinks. Or if people weren't drinking to get to this level, there had to be 20 of you. Maybe 10 of you. Like I do just think you can't say this is the same as. This is a troll job. I think so too. This is a troll job. As you read it, I was like, this has to just be engagement farming or whatever. This is 100 % a troll job. Don't you think?
59:27Well, so I think based on the writing, it almost looks... AI. Yes, but what was more interesting to me besides the troll job was the comments. Oh. A lot, sorry. I'm not necessarily saying whether or not I think this is real. there are there was this has 10 000 likes and there's a whole dialogue happening underneath it of half the people saying what we're saying and the other half being like i've been saying this for years you should tip less so those people are real so it actually is a real conversation and that was why i put it in here and i i'm i'm a big proponent of service workers like i said as worked at a restaurant for five years but where i do think that this is accurate though is on delivery because the other day i ordered sushi and like the sushi was i think 50 bucks or something it's just like it's expensive to get sushi and then it wanted me to tip 20 on the on the 50 sushi versus like i could order the same thing at chipotle for 15 and the same amount of work is coming in from the delivery driver, that's the time that I'm changing.
1:00:41Flat rate for delivery drivers on delivery apps. I have been doing that as well. I've been running a flat rate on... Because you're picking up a sack either way. You're picking up one single sack either way. Where I feel differently though is when I'm doing a grocery order because then they're going in the store and needing to get a bunch of different items. So like getting one item versus 15 items is different. I still don't know if I'm doing 20 % honestly though. I know. I'll say it. I look at, I will look at what the collective order is. Because sometimes the problem with that is like sometimes if I'm ordering diapers and paper towels, the cost of your overall order or if you're getting a steak, let's say from the counter, Like, then your order is more as opposed to if you're going to a Walgreens getting today, for example, like I got cuticle cream.
1:01:41That's a$2 item as opposed to a$30 item. So then the tip, I don't know, it is something interesting to think about. If someone's getting like paper towels and diapers, like I will tip more on that because it's like bigger, harder to navigate. But a steak. I have something. If they're picking up a steak. I ordered groceries yesterday to the house that I'm staying at. They dropped them off, no bags. All of my, they placed each individual grocery item onto the mat. That's insanity. I know. I took a picture of it. I'll insert it because it was the most insane thing I've ever seen in my life. That is insanity.
1:02:21That's also a lot of trips. Yes, I know. Well, there's two. Where'd you order from? Sprouts. Did the bag break in the car? No. Maybe they needed the bags. Maybe they needed the bags. Maybe they didn't get the bags. It wasn't a ton of groceries, but it was enough that you needed bags for it. I was shocked. Oh, I can't wait to see the photo. They just laid it out on the welcome mat, like all nice and arranged. It was like... Okay, that's cute. It was nice, but I was like, no, I got to... That must have taken them like extra five minutes. Yeah, it was confusing. And I know the house you're staying at, there's some stair work involved in getting there.
1:02:57I know. Jules' house sitting. Yeah. All right. Well, you guys, I think that does it. Anything else, Jules? No. I'm trying to think. I did have, I did have, I've forgotten.

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!
