And we're back from now until the last pitch of the World Series with your recap of games and news you can use. This year, Finish Your Baseball will be even more personal. I'm adding comments from my friends in the BBM Discord and inviting special guests throughout the playoffs. Yesterday was awesome. Every home team won, sans the Astros, who decided on a bullpen game for Game 1 at home (ridiculous). Austin Riley sent Braves fans home happy after his 3-run blast in the bottom of the 8th off Duran to give Atlanta a 2-run lead. Colton Montgomery hit a towering blast to deep center to help the White Sox get their first playoff win since 2021. Congrats to Manager Will Venable, winning pitcher Jordan Hicks (in relief), and rookie Braden Montgomery on the win. The Bronx Zoo was rocking last night. CY Young frontrunner Cam Schlittler pitched a gem: 6.1 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 10 Ks. Ben Rice 4 H, 2 HR, 6 RBIs, George Lombard 3-4, 2 Rs. The Yankees got the shutout win 9-0. And to close out the night the Padres dominated the Cubs 8-0. Tatis 2 H, 1 HR, Machado 2 H,1 HR, 2 RBIs, Merrill 2 H, 2 RBI - congrats to Kwanza Jones and Jose Feliciano on their first playoff win as majority owners. That's it for today. See you tomorrow.

Mike and John get into some brief braves talk as they give a quick update on Game 2 of the Wild Card Series against the Phillies and share thoughts on the Braves not sending Ozzie Albies at third on an Austin Riley single to shallow left and agree on believing the Braves should have made the Phillies try to make the perfect play by sending Albies home.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Wednesday!! We open with a very important announcement: it's REST DAY (Harrison's rest day lol but maybe all of you could join him), which somehow spirals into a real debate: is "downhill" positive or negative?! (If you're running, downhill is great. If your week is going downhill…? you see the problem.) Then Jules brings a word from the people: collective effervescence.. the term for that shared-energy magic that happened at Wrigley (and at every Fenway “Sweet Caroline”, and every Coldplay "Fix You”). We're working it into daily (or bi-annual) rotation. Plus Alex reveals her special power: she wakes up in the middle of the night and just KNOWS what time it is (psychic or circadian? The chair delivery prediction says psychic), and we realize we are officially living in the "late 20s" of the century.. which sends us straight into Y2K pandemonium and what our 4-11-year-old brains thought was happening in 1999 hahaha Then the home front: the kids book gift tip we're stealing forever (find your kid's favorite book and keep copies on hand as gifts.. Going to Sleep on the Farm is out of print but on ThriftBooks for $6!!), the universal truth that when a toddler is awake they are AWAKE, and Tate's new bit: calling Alex.. Alex. She thinks it's hilarious. Then a segment your comments built: cities have MIDDLE names?! Chicago Marie. Cincinnati Eileen. Atlanta Nicole. We're solidifying Austin Riley.. comment your city's middle name, we need them all. And another follow up from the video game convo: where does drinking after work fall on the scale?! We get into it honestly AND share our rule for drinking as new parents: one parent is ALWAYS the metaphorical DD. Meaning one of us is ALWAYS sober enough to legally drive.. because you're on duty for the kids, and in an emergency you might literally need to drive. Simple, non-negotiable, works. And in wedding world: 818 Tequila is sponsoring weddings (no contracts, no posting requirements, just vibes.. genius or too far?), and OUR wedding planning continues: it's officially a seated dinner, and Harrison's dream late-night sponsor is DoorDash hahaha We close with the lightning round of internet topics: Dyson made a $499 TOOTHBRUSH (we started at sticker shock and talked ourselves into it.. if it touches your body twice a day!), gym bros discovered the pink tax, a new app that sends your texts by virtual carrier pigeon (110mph, and a 0.2% chance your message literally dies mid-flight.. we're obsessed), and a closing pep talk: we all need to TOUGHEN UP. A cup of coffee cannot ruin your day!! Hope everyone is having a great week :-) LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:00:01 It's rest day!! (Lol) 00:05:35 Is "downhill" positive or negative?! 00:06:24 “Collective effervescence” - the word for what happened at Wrigley 00:11:26 Knowing the exact time when waking up - psychic or circadian? 00:17:09 We're now living in the “late 20s”?! (+ Y2K pandemonium) 00:21:05 The kids book gift tip we're stealing 00:24:24 When a toddler is awake, they are AWAKE 00:26:27 Tate thinks it's funny to call Alex..
