What Parents Talk About with Dave and Lya

No better time to podcast than now. We're back with an update on quarantine life, working from home with the kids, and trying not to go crazy. Stay safe. Stay sane. PS. Email us and let us know what you're doing at home with your kids daveandlya@gmail.com

We each wrote down 10 questions. And then this podcast happened. Podcast is actually the wrong term for this episode - it's more like a roast of Dave. Leave us a review on the Apple Podcast app if you're enjoying the podcast. They make us happy and we like to sit on the couch and read them together. So give us that pleasure! See ya.

It's been a while, so we talked about everything on this episode: leaving Drift & what's next, how far we've come with Sam, Annie loves Lya again, being a terrible Instagram husband, Colin Kaepernick and more. You get it. It was all over the place. Which made it fun. Also: is it weird to bring the potty everywhere? And this might be turning into a Bravo podcast...

On this episode we’re talking about two weeks in to life with two kids, mom classes, why people don’t send gifts the second time around (?), how we knew we were ready to have another kid, the best & worst parenting advice we ever got, the two things every new parent needs to have that we didn’t know about, balancing an infant and a toddler together, working on not working, surviving on no sleep, and the witch hunt for Annie’s blankie. Of course during the time in Annie’s life when things are changing the most, we lost the ONE THING SHE CANT DO WITHOUT -- her blankie. So there’s that.

“And is someone going to edit out all of this dead air?” Everything felt like a normal night on the couch talking about life until we hit record (and then things got awkward).

And yes -- we’re getting the kinks out doing this podcast together in the first few episodes.
