Two Parents & A Podcast

• It’s out 2 year anniversary!!!

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — it’s our 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! We’re celebrating two years together by looking back on the highlights, funniest moments (you guys already know this one LOL), low points, and the best thing we did for our relationship this past year.  But before we get all sentimental… we’re talking about why Daylight Saving Time is every parent’s worst nightmare, whether adults should keep foul balls at baseball games (+ I discovered what a 50/50 raffle is hahahahha), and when a baby OFFICIALLY becomes a toddler. Plus — is it too early to decorate for Christmas? (Apparently not this year???) We talk a lot about pepper (NEED you guys to chime in in the comments) and there’s also a classic Bicker of the Week: Apple Maps vs. Google Maps (!!!). And in Things We DMed Each Other: why second-born boys might statistically be more of a handful 😂 LOVE YOU GUYS Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:02:29 It’s our 2 year anniversary!!! 00:06:26 Why Daylight Saving Time is the bane of parents’ existence 00:10:05 Should adults keep foul balls at baseball games—or give them to kids? 00:21:45 When does your baby officially become a toddler? 00:23:54 Is it too early to decorate for Christmas? 00:31:00 Would you like fresh pepper with that? 00:33:48 Should you still celebrate your dating anniversary after marriage? 00:38:05 Fresh pepper (continued 😂) 00:43:19 We think we have our wedding date?!  00:51:07 Year 2 Recap: Highlights from the past year 00:53:05 Year 2 Recap: Funniest moments 00:56:24 Year 2 Recap: Low points 00:59:10 Year 2 Recap: Best thing we did for our relationship 01:01:39 Bicker of the Week: Apple Maps vs. Google Maps 01:04:27 Things We DMed Each Other: Second-born boys are more likely to be troublemakers  01:06:45 LOVE YOU GUYS!  #twoparentsandapod --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Branch Basics:  Head to https://www.branchbasics.com/TWOPARENTS to shop the Premium Starter Kit and save 15% with code TWOPARENTS.  *Calm - Description: For listeners of our show, Calm is offering an exclusive offer of 40% off a Calm Premium Subscription at https://www.calm.com/TWOPARENTS. *Ka’Chava: Go to https://kachava.com and use code TWOPARENTS for 15% off your next order. *Magnetic Me – Make changing time easier for you and your little one with Magnetic Me’s smart magnetic closures.

• Allison Kuch & Isaac Rochell on success, family & finding balance after baby

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re joined by the Rochells (or should we call them the Kuch family??) — Allison Kuch (content creator, podcaster & self-proclaimed “30-year-old teen mom”) and her husband Isaac Rochell (former NFL player turned broadcaster and certified girl dad) for a double date. We talk about everything — from how they met at Notre Dame (and yes their first date was at Starbucks like Google says) to surviving long distance, navigating finances, and redefining “success” after becoming parents. They open up about solo parenting while busy with work travel, postpartum depression, exclusive pumping for a year (aka living attached to “the robot”), prenups, and how they keep their relationship strong through all of it. Plus: girl vs. boy parenting, who’s the better cook (“Dads Eat Last” energy), their flight-point obsession, and what their next chapter looks like now that life after football is in full swing. Timestamps:  00:00:00 Cold open — Baby #2 gender chat, “girl dad” → “boy dad,” how many kids? 00:03:31 Welcome + guest intro — Allison Kuch & Isaac Rochell (Double Date) 00:06:15 From NFL to content — vulnerability and sharing real life online 00:17:38 Money talk — dual-income setup, advisors, and the (non)-prenup story 00:26:36 Prioritizing the relationship — different sleep needs, at-home dates, flexibility 00:33:12 “Dads Eat Last” — Isaac cooks, dishes, and their bedtime routine together 00:41:00 Solo parenting — systems, setting each other up, and staying supportive 00:43:25 50/50 parenting in practice (sponsored by Nanit) 00:47:02 It’s not a double date without talking about flights 😂 00:50:30 How they met — Notre Dame and a first date at Starbucks 00:53:10 The breakup… and the pre-planned Bali trip (plus how they rekindled) 00:55:07 Long-distance that worked — trust, frequent visits, costs & FaceTime habits 01:01:30 Redefining “success” after baby — priorities vs. definition, staying ambitious 01:10:00 Football dads & stage moms — healthy pressure vs. letting kids love sports 01:17:07 Postpartum depression & a year of exclusive pumping 01:24:35 Thanks for listening!  #twoparentsandapod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Nanit: The baby monitor that lets you see, hear, and actually understand your baby’s sleep.

• Touring an AI school, honeymoon planning & transitioning to one nap

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re covering it all — from our AI school tour (yes, AI school is a real thing??) to wedding and honeymoon updates (we may have picked a destination?? (& its a SECRET)) and life with a toddler who’s officially transitioning to one nap. We’re also talking first-trimester nausea (Sea-Bands for the win - maybe??), Harrison’s (and Jules’!!!) Jonas Brothers concert night out (plus Rob’s Backstage Popcorn BTS), and a recap of the Louvre jewel heist bc  we can’t stop thinking about it.  Then, we get into etiquette that still matters (thank-you notes, “Mr.” and “Ms.”, saying hi to other parents) before Things We DMed Each Other — like the funniest things that are physically impossible during pregnancy and the fact that your heart literally grows while pregnant (!!!).

• Tylenol during pregnancy, vaccines & what really matters for your baby’s health (with Dr. Ari Brown)

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Ari Brown (board-certified pediatrician and author of the bestselling 411 book series) for a conversation about what truly matters for your baby’s health. Dr. Brown brings decades of experience helping parents cut through the noise of modern parenting. In this episode, she shares evidence-backed guidance on pregnancy nutrition (what to eat and what to avoid), the latest research on Tylenol use during pregnancy, and the other lifestyle choices that actually influence your baby’s development during pregnancy. (PLUS how to tell what’s real medical advice versus internet myths.)  We also asked about newborn and toddler health — everything from Hep B shots and vitamin K right after birth to vaccines, breast milk versus formula, picky eating, and how to handle screen time for young kids. Science-based, judgment-free, and grounded in real pediatric expertise, this episode covers everything we (and you guys!!!) are genuinely curious about when it comes to keeping your baby healthy.
