Alex and Shane discuss their entire family getting sick, COVID testing, Shane's willingness to fight for the superiority of Anthony Bourdain, and Blippi's TikTok imposter. 

 

Dr. Cindy Hovington of Curious Neuron dicusses parenting through a neuroscientist lens, hitting topics like screen time (and what it can do to our children's development), how kids are impacted by stressed out and/or fighting parents, postpartum depression in dads, and the importance of meaningful play.

 

Anneliese King of Shitty Mommy Moments candidly chats motherhood, the toughest parts of parenting and marriage, the myth of perfection, and the beauty of a community.

 

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like kitten origin stories, swimming tips, relationship ruts, and holding babies oddly in photos (a la Emily Ratajkowski or Alex).
