Description

Happy Thursday! This episode is a ROLLER COASTER - but spoiler alert: WE GOT THE HOUSE (ps. sorry in advance for checking for texts and taking a mid-podcast call but you guys REALLY get to come along for the ride tonight.) And in between our house updates: We’re officially sleeping again (!!) thanks to the 5-10-15 method, baby exercises (??), and ChatGPT. We also talk about using AI to plan our date night (wild), double date dynamics, and why “dad bod summer” is officially here. Plus, we talk about the little white lies we tell kids (we’ve decided our tooth fairy is gonna be from Canada). And in Things We DMed Each Other, we talk about the $3800 baby carrier that Artipoppe just dropped (and why we know our $30 Amazon one is better) + a cute family moment and some fun brand activations at Coachella. Oh and Harrison also somehow is getting scammed AGAIN (we don’t know how either). We LOVE YOU GUYS!

Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on the housing situation?

22.515 - 25.256 Guest

Okay. But I don't ever think we clarified anything about the plot of land.

0

26.716 - 31.837 Harrison

So I don't think you like gotten to the nitty gritty. You just said we couldn't talk about it. Mysterious.

0

Chapter 2: How can AI help plan your next date night?

31.937 - 39.899 Co-Host

So let's, let's go through the episode and then hopefully we have an update at some point throughout the episode.

0

40.019 - 42.02 Alex

Yeah. Okay.

0

Chapter 3: What are the dynamics of a successful double date?

42.04 - 42.4 Co-Host

Makes sense.

0

42.66 - 44.02 Alex

Makes sense. Are we recording?

0

44.38 - 45.38 Co-Host

Let's go. All right.

0

45.681 - 51.922 Alex

Welcome to two parents and a podcast. How's it going? H town. Can I call you hot? Yeah.

0

53.494 - 80.418 Alex

what in my head i call you hache i just wanted to let and i tested it out for the first time when when i was down here and i needed you to come down and i said hache and then what i think i don't know i think it's h in spanish no just no i'll ask maria if that's the name that you want do you not like it hache i've had worse nicknames so like what ah another time

82.611 - 85.072 Alex

I'll just ask you one more time and then pass that and I won't ask you.

85.172 - 91.576 Co-Host

No, you don't want to go airing out your worst nickname with a last name like Fugman, you know. It's not hard. It's not hard.

91.756 - 95.178 Alex

All right. Fugdaddies, but I hear a lot of people call you and that's not a bad name.

95.238 - 97.379 Co-Host

I don't think I've ever heard that one, but I'd go with it.

Chapter 4: What are the little white lies we tell kids?

178.024 - 190.55 Co-Host

I love this house. And then people will be like, wait, how does them signing mean the house is yours? Hopefully we can get into all that. But if not, we're going to keep you on the cliff for another week.

0

191.851 - 194.552 Alex

But I think we were a little – what does ambiguous mean? Does it mean vague?

0

194.812 - 199.635 Co-Host

We're being vague because like – yes. And I'm the driver of us being vague.

0

199.983 - 218.063 Alex

Yeah, but we were ambiguous last week, and so I just want to clarify. We want this house. We want to stay in this house. We're trying to, but there were so many moving parts to stay in this house that we didn't know if it was going to become possible or not. So hopefully it is. Hopefully higher heads prevail and that we can sign and move on and live here. Yes.

0

218.323 - 220.984 Co-Host

And our current deadline is Friday. They extended our lease till Friday.

221.204 - 239.071 Alex

Yeah, which is lovely. So there. Okay. Moving right along to the weekend where we went on a date that AI planned for us. Harrison said to chat GPT. I would say GBT. GPT.

240.091 - 252.098 Co-Host

Well, no. So actually I did a little different. I saw something on Twitter, which is a new AI agent that can make phone calls for you and book reservations for you.

Chapter 5: What did we learn from our double date experience?

0

253.039 - 274.259 Co-Host

Yeah. And so I wanted to use that agent to one, plan the date. like the itinerary, but then two, call the restaurants and book it. No question. Yeah. And so it was amazing. I like, I made a TikTok video. I like showed me interacting with it and then it showed a calling it and book, like plan the whole thing. But the phone call didn't work. Yeah.

0

274.499 - 282.822 Alex

So AI was not able to call the restaurant. It gave you options of the voice that was like, do you want to use this voice to call the restaurant? Or do you want to use this voice?

0

282.902 - 291.826 Co-Host

Yeah, I loved it. But like AI ain't taken our jobs yet. And on the topic of dates, I would like to talk about our date last night, our double date last night.

0

291.926 - 309.544 Alex

Hold on. I want to go back really quick to the date because the robots recommended the robots. And so you go to this place and like, it's, it's a fun, it's a cute restaurant. I think that it would be more fun for kids. Like when tater is five or six years old, taking her there because it's like a conveyor belt and the robot comes over to you and it's like beep bop.

309.604 - 314.549 Alex

And then it lights up green, stops at your table, opens up and you take your Coke out of it. Like,

316.092 - 341.523 Co-Host

cute but i don't want to go there on another date you and i because it's not like the most romantic but it's a really fun spot yeah i i thought it was i thought it was a cool a cool one to to check out and hilariously ironic that ai told us to go there i think ai telling us to go to space cowboy of all the restaurants in austin is is hilarious because it's a robot restaurant and then most importantly saying it could call and book it and the ai failing us

342.307 - 347.329 Alex

And I did not. So you had to call and book it. Yes. Good job. Yeah.

347.429 - 350.45 Co-Host

So roll your sleeves up. Work hard type of guy.

Chapter 6: How did we successfully sleep train our baby?

431.553 - 460.339 Co-Host

Well, me and this guy, we got like straight into like the meat and bones of conversation. And this guy, he was just super, super interesting, super nice. And I thought it was like to really just like get a – I felt like I got a really good feel of like – The A to Z of him in that first 15 minutes. So like it allowed me to really enjoy the day. The other thing that I think is like.

0

460.659 - 462.0 Alex

I think we can 100% say his name.

0

462.16 - 471.586 Co-Host

One of my favorite qualities in people is people who are really confident but have no ego.

0

472.037 - 491.446 Alex

He was the definition of it. Let's talk about skims as I am currently wearing one of my favorite skims bras. But today we're gonna talk about the fits everybody thong, you guys, because I've been wearing a lot of skirts and I'm not a big underwear girl, but their underwear feels like you are wearing nothing. So it's essentially the same thing as wearing no underwear.

0

492.126 - 512.036 Alex

but you get all the benefits of wearing underwear. And I tried their fits. Everybody thong and skims has completely converted me back to wearing the underwear. I'm feeling like no other underwear I've worn before the thongs. You guys, they used to bother me. These thongs do not. I promise you they are absolutely incredible. They also have these like boy shorts that I got.

512.736 - 530.717 Alex

Um, and they are also so comfortable and I've been sleeping in them. Um, And then the triangle bralette. That's another one of my favorites. So I wear them with like the cashmere sweaters and I also wear them with t-shirts. So ladies and gentlemen, get in on the skims. I've been talking about it nonstop for two, three years now.

531.218 - 536.199 Alex

So shop skims fits everybody collection at skims.com and in skim stores.

536.679 - 562.049 Alex

available from extra extra small to 4x and after you place your order be sure to let them know we sent you select podcast in the survey and be sure to select our show in the drop down menu that follows i just went to the austin um domain skim store it's beautiful so go out there you guys check them out in real life i think i think we got to give them their flowers so it was nick and stephanie barr b-a-r-e and he is like a running guy he's on youtube

562.708 - 567.49 Alex

And Instagram and TikTok, all those things. But he had a fitness nutrition brand.

Chapter 7: What are the funny stories about the tooth fairy?

0

816.497 - 822.765 Co-Host

I think that's going to be the driver. That's just my new request is I want one-on-one time with the guys for like on all double dates.

0

823.506 - 825.81 Alex

Because then you can find your areas that you overlap.

0

825.85 - 829.456 Co-Host

Yeah. And just want to know, like, is it going to be like, yeah, what type of conversation is it going to be?

0

829.904 - 848.779 Alex

I think that's actually a really good idea. I think girls get to know them, get to know each other faster, quicker. I think we know exactly how to just to go rifle through the things like, what are you interested in? Do you have kids? Um, where do you work out? Things like that. Like girls do it really quickly. Whereas I think guys, it's a little bit harder to be like sharing a lot.

850.8 - 855.904 Co-Host

Yeah. But I think, yeah, I, I, I don't know. I don't have a read on that. I'm just saying. Yeah.

856.075 - 859.818 Alex

I think there's a chance that guys could have a deeper bond, but I think girls can find the bond faster.

861.44 - 867.985 Co-Host

I'm just so not into... I don't know. I feel like I'm bad with mass generalized statements like that.

868.206 - 875.572 Alex

I agree with that. I don't want to do a mass generalized statement. I do just think... Well, I think both parties get a compliment in that generalized statement.
