Picture this: Joe, our guest, finds himself in the comedic chaos of babysitting a two-and-a-half-year-old while trying to rearrange our podcast setup. We dive headfirst into the hilarities and headaches of parenting and babysitting—from debating child dietary dilemmas (sushi over nuggets, anyone?) to the never-ending battle with screen time rules. This episode is a rollercoaster of humor and heart as we draw parallels between raising kids and herding pets, all while untangling microphone cords. Next, we switch gears to the financial playground where we look at how public figures like Shaq inspire us to teach children the weight of a dollar. We exchange stories about allowances, chores, and the different approaches to raising sons and daughters in a world where affluence can blur lines. Our discussion takes a spin into the realm of luxury car collections, where swapping Ford Raptors becomes a strategic dance to avoid depreciation. It's an engaging mix of money management lessons and the allure of high-end vehicles that might just leave you rethinking your next big purchase. As the conversation revs up, we entertain the whimsical notion of opening a Tex-Mex restaurant, complete with margarita shooters and a side of real estate dreams in Fulcher, Texas. Amidst these entrepreneurial aspirations, we tackle the real-world challenges of tariffs and their sneaky impact on profit margins. From tattoos to tariffs, business strategies to basketball, this episode promises a delightful buffet of anecdotes, humor, and thoughtful reflection on the modern maze of parenting, finance, and everything in between.

After watching the Netflix series Adolescence, I was left gutted, moved, and full of questions—just like many of you who reached out. “I watched it. I was shocked. I was moved… but now what do I do with these big feelings I'm having and this information?” Whether you're raising a boy or a girl, this show forces us to reckon with disconnection, violence, and parenting in the digital age. In this conversation, I sit down with Ruth Whippman and Dr. Zabina Bhasin to explore what the show reveals about masculinity, emotional disconnection, and how boys are often left emotionally starved in today's culture. We talk about parenting, school systems, and online influences—and most importantly, how we can start doing better for our kids. We discuss:  How the Netflix series Adolescence reflects the emotional isolation many boys experience—and why it's a cultural crisis. How masculinity, parenting, school systems, and online influences shape how boys express (or suppress) their feelings. Practical, compassionate strategies to help parents, educators, and adults raise emotionally safe, connected boys in today's world.

In part 2, Tabria + Paige tease out why telling moms to stay home instead of work doesn't lighten their systemically heavier Mental Loads, how an equitable home teaches children gender equality, the role race plays in the Mental Load, and why it's so important to brag about good male partners.

When it comes to the cost of raising a child from infancy to the age of 17 in the United States – it's hard to settle on a precise figure.There's one thing we do know – it's going to be expensive. By some estimates, raising a kid, who was born in 2015, could cost a middle class family close to $320,000 over 17 years. That money goes to childcare, healthcare, food, clothes, education, transportation, activities, toys, and a lot more. All of those things will be affected – one way or another – by the Trump administration's tariff policy.And the companies that sell products geared at those raising kids – they're going to feel the pinch as well. One CEO argues it could even mean certain products will become unavailable.Being a parent in the U.S. is already expensive. Slapping tariffs on the products kids use could make it more so.
