Our Charleston family trip, landlines for kids & can we trust self-driving cars?

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re back from a big family trip and giving our official Charleston recap: hotel ratings, travel highlights, and our new favorite parenting moment. OK, quick disclaimer if you’re new here (hi!) — this episode is a little chaotic. We do start with a 5-minute deep dive into women’s haircuts (??) and I was in kind of a flat mood for the first 15 minutes… but I came around and honestly this might be our most fun episode yet. (Also yes, we filmed in bed.) We talk about why Tate would rather play with an AirPods case than an actual toy, share updates from hotel life (Suite Life of Bubber - s/o to The LINE Austin) and fill you in on our wood floor drama back home. In Bicker of the Week , it’s Booking.com vs. booking direct (and for the record, I think I’m up 2-0 on Harrison). In Things We DMed Each Other , we’re talking landline phones for kids, ChatGPT brain scans (@Harrison should have been studied), and whether self-driving cars are actually safer than humans??? WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
