Co-sleeping, the ‘pay-to-play’ sports problem & Summer House is coming to Canada?!  
Podcast: Two Parents & A Podcast
Published On: Fri Jul 10 2026
Description: This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!!! Rocky is officially out of the 4th trimester 🥹 (it truly is like a light switch flips at 3 months). Speaking of new milestones, Alex tried co-sleeping with him for the first time now that he's past the safe age - the review: loved every second of it but didn't get a whole lot of sleep lol. We start with a trending topic: what is the "back in my day we walked uphill both ways" of our generation?! (i.e. we made it through 4 years of college without ChatGPT!!). Which lead us to an insane discovery… did you know kids at camp are now getting their letters SCANNED and texted to their parents instantly?! Whatever happened to snail mail? Some fun things: spam mail is getting out of hand, Harrison put a Mexican 3-cheese blend on our pizza (thoughts?), and he pulls a text prank on our neighbors (and Jules) live on the pod 💀 Then the announcement that was MADE for this pod: Summer House Canada is officially happening (10 episodes in Muskoka!!) 🇨🇦. Which leads to Alex asking Harrison if he believes in reincarnation… and whether he would ever go on reality TV himself. Then the big topic: the pay-to-play sports crisis in America. Apparently, it costs between $1,500 and $25,000+ a YEAR for kids to play club sports?! We get into the Let Kids Play Act, why the US is falling behind in soccer, and why kids are dropping out of sports altogether. Plus in THINGS WE DMED: Waymo called the cops on two 15 year olds shooting Orbeez, the first AI actor is starring in a movie (welcome to the "Tillyverse"), and United is officially being SUED over window seats… without windows.
